Is Image:New Ulm Museum.jpg the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame?--Appraiser (talk) 14:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I didn't go in when I visited town, so it may contain the MMHF; but it is pictured on the historic society's website as their museum: http://www.browncountyhistorymnusa.org/. And thanks for the star! Iulus Ascanius (talk) 15:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I just got confirmation from a co-worker that the Music Hall of Fame is not in that building. I'll add it to List of museums in Minnesota. Thanks.--Appraiser (talk) 15:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the photo of Crown Center. That's one of the nicest I've ever seen. It also lined up with a couple buildings I've written articles on 2345 Grand and Hyatt Regency Crown Center. I need to do one on the Westin Crown Center also. And for good measure there's the Western Auto building in the background (it's on the National Register) Thanks again!

I noticed that you removed the content that I added to "Group Behavior" in the page "Industrial and Organizational Psychology". I do not understand the reason for doing so. Could you please explain? Thanks.

It violates WP:UNDUE. I replied on your talk page. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 15:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iulus Ascanius, I noticed that your user page has been hit with a lot of vandalism recently. Would you like it semi-protected for some time? Acalamari 22:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page has been semi-protected. :) In addition, I note that you do a lot of vandal-fighting. Would you like me to grant your account rollback rights? Rollback is very useful for reverting vandalism and spam, but it should only be used to revert vandalism/spam, and misuse of the tool (either by reverting good-faith edits or using it to revert-war) can lead to its removal. Tell me what you think. Thanks. Acalamari 01:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I'll be good with it, vandal-fighting is about all I do anymore. It's been months since I had the time to make "real" edits. Thanks again. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 04:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted. :) For practice, you may be interested in seeing Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 20:59, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for removing the commercial external links from the Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin article. I kept removing them; some editors kept putting them back in. The only external links I kept was the city government, chamber of commerce, the public library and the school district.Thank you-again-RFD (talk) 17:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there and thanks for the information regarding my updates. I am totally new to Wikipedia and working on the first lessons. I updated the page you commented on because it was orphaned. I added information regarding the Organization that was borned out of a US Goverment grant. Prior to this, there was no way to test the competency of the teachers in our public school systems. I want to be as objective as possible, so please provide me with suggestions to keep this from a (NPOV). I really want to do this right, so I'm open for help and suggestions.

Why did you delete the addition of Gene Peterson as a Notable Native from Albert Lea, MN, on the Albert Lea page? A link to a reputable website was provided (and no other Notable Natives were even footnoted). 24.167.1.248 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:53, 29 January 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Because he is not notable. Does he meet these criteria? [1] Does he have his own Wikipedia article? A footnote to an external page does not qualify.

Also, the link to Craig Dahl is a different person, so he is not notable, and a college wrestler is very non-notable.

Iulus Ascanius (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Gene Peterson does meet the criteria you linked to. Under the category "Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities" you will find the criteria "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions." Gene Peterson has hosted over 2,000 Rockets basketball games, including the 12 NBA finals games, and was the play-by-play announcer for an NBA All-Star game. While he does not have his own Wikipedia page, this is not criteria alone for listing in a Notable Natives page. He has been profiled in many sources, including the Houston Chronicle, Houston Press, and mentions on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and Wikipedia. Please let me know why you still feel this does not meet the criteria above.

Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.1.248 (talk) 17:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, the NBA does qualify as a stage performance. We can keep him but the others are toast. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial links are being kept on in the Wisconsin Rapids article.The editor took the legitiment els off city,chamber of commerce,schools,library off and put just commercial links on-I left another comment on the editor's talk page-Very frustrating-Thanks-RFD (talk) 12:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saint_Paul,_Minnesota&curid=40469&diff=289596605&oldid=289473581

I just remember it was listed in the article and added the refs, so it predates my involvement with the St. Paul article. Calebrw (talk) 23:05, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be very interested and opinionated on the subjects of psychometrics, professional certification and test development. Do you work in the industry? If so, from what organization? Thank you. Jilanak (talk) 15:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I work in that industry, but prefer to remain anonymous. My organization is a small one that does not have a Wikipedia article. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 18:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi lulus,

I work for a company called BTL which specialises in e-assessment software(btl.com) and recently we have been trying to create a larger online presence through search engine optimization and such. We are a leading e-assessment software provider for some of the largest exam bodies in the UK.

Some of the people at our company have tried editing the e-assessment wiki page to include links to our companies website. We would like a mention on the e-assessment page just so that people looking for e-assessment solutions can find us.

We do not want to blatantly advertise, just have a link to our company website and perhaps some of our resources. Some of our PDF files at http://btl.com/resources.asp are directly related to the subject and could be considered a valuable resource in learning about e-assessment.

As you are a regular editor of the e-assessment page we would like to ask you on how we should go about putting a few links on the page without appearing to be advertising.

Neither of us would like to end up in an editing war so I am asking you to state what you would consider acceptable additions to the page. We also feel that the content on that page is rather lacking and we are considering writing some more for it from a neutral point of view.

Also going off topic looking at your wiki page, I see that you are interested in development and how geography relates to this. I am currently reading a book called Guns, Germs and Steel which has a lot to say on the subject of human development from a geographical point of view which would probably interest you. If you are interested in learning more about human development from a geographical point of view then I really recommend this book for you (can be bought off amazon for a few dollars).

I would appreciate if you got back to me on this,

Kind Regards,

Keith —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keith.talk (talk • contribs) 15:50, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, first of all, let me thank you for bringing this up for direct discussion and not just continuing to replace the link. The last time I was in this situation, rather than discuss it the other guy said he had hired a monkey to continuously replace his link; he was permanently blocked. Yes, that was actually his strategy!

I have two issues with placing that link on Wikipedia: that it does not meet Wikipedia policies and that (as you admit) the content on your page is lacking, non-scholarly, and advertisory.

First, about your page. The resources presented are overwhelmingly advertisory in nature. Even the Gomersall paper and the e-assessment white paper qualify. The cases studies and press releases are more than obvious. There are similar sites that are not listed here which have a much less advertisory tone and would be much more useful because of that (http://www.questionmark.com/us/whitepapers/index.aspx, http://www.act.org/research/reports/index.html, https://www.assess.com/research.php).

Second, there are the relevant Wikipedia policies. You are not supposed to promote your own stuff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTSOAPBOX#SOAPBOX) because it is a conflict of interest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest), make it a collection of external links (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:LINKFARM#LINK), and you are definitely not supposed to place a link to promote a company or product (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming), which is the primary purpose.

I’d like to put a link to my own company on this page also, but have not because of these reasons. You might wish to post on Marspedia since it is allowed there (http://www.marspedia.org/index.php?title=Marspedia:About). I’m also considering starting a new site as a central resource for testing/assessment where we don't have to worry about these policies to make links.

Thanks again – and thanks for the tip on the book! Iulus Ascanius (talk) 02:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to say thanks for your great work and images on this article. Way better than the last time I looked. For ages we were hard pressed finding a decent image!! Himalayan 16:02, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you'd be interested in expanding Kgosi Gabarone? Himalayan 18:37, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I go there occasionally for business and realized that we needed some good pics. But unfortunately, I don't know anything about Kgosi Gaborone.Iulus Ascanius (talk) 18:56, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this helps-I told the anon editor to sign up for an account-Iam not sure if the editor will or not-Thank you-RFD (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One more comment-I am in complete agreement with you that anon editors should be require to register for an account before they are allow to edit. I wish this was used instead of flagged revisions-Sometimes I do get on my soapbox-Thanks again-RFD (talk) 00:51, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the barnstar. It can be difficult to carry on in the face of so many socks attacking you but you managed to sort it out in the end. Smartse (talk) 09:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Iulus. Thank you for your support. I first thought that you were too harsh on Edstat, I confess, but now I see that Edstat's behavior seems prototypical trolling and harrassment, and I would like an end to it. Please respond on my user page. Thanks again for your help. Sincerely, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 00:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See my page! Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 00:27, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kiefer: thank you for your note, and for all your hard work, and for caring about the integrity of WP. I've stopped contributing simply due to the fact that WP would not enforce its own policies regarding all the self-promotion and sockpuppetry, so it's good to see that there is still some effort for that. I see that the Paradox page is finally up for deletion (as it should be, considering that no one has ever used the term other than Sawilowsky himself, so interesting that Edstat should try to implement), and that the user page for one of his sockpuppets (JMASM) has disappeared (it was another advertisement, though the copyvio image it uploaded is still around, conveniently ignored by VernoWhitney). If you're discussing content, don't forget to look in the History of a page for interesting additions by IPs, that's his MO as much as Trolling. I support you in all your efforts. Now if only something could be done about all the COI that is the bio article. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 15:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Iulus, I am sorry for failing to reply earlier. My personal life has been greatly enriched this semester! :)

I have not minded self-promotion for minor (but apparently notable) academics, because nobody reads them. I would suggest that you not worry about JMASM, unless it suddenly becames a leading journal and then I would be happy to apologize to Edstat for my poor statistical/editorial judgment. Vox populi, vox deo!

I shall refrain from discussing Edstat further here, since I've learned that Rfc's are more appropriate for severe misbehavior (and I wouldn't be surprised if one is opened soon.)

It's better to ignore blemishes on minor articles and try to fix the important articles! I would go crazy if I tried to stop every graduate student from writing an article about his professor's great algorithm, especially in machine learning! ;)

Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 02:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please see a new discussion of alleged sock-puppetry by Edstat. My initial discussion referred to your previous discussion of behavioral issues. Sincerely, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 15:11, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you forgot at least two, but I see that WP doesn't care anyway. Not surprised. VernoWhitney actually helped EdStat's sockpuppets, which shows the level of integrity around here. Such pathological inclusionism is the reason I left WP. It trumps everything, even WP policies. Which brings me to another point. You mentioned that you could have published some more articles this year. I highly recommend that you do so next year. I've realized that WP is not worth my time if someone of EdStat's character is allowed to continue editing as he has. You should realize that too. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 23:13, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would be curious about which 2(+?) socks you found that I missed. About inclusionism, Editor ES seems to have dropped using socks in tandem-editing since last Spring (with the blocking), so the administrative intervention has led to improvements. The SPA/COI problems remain, and I hope that the editor can learn here too, although I would not place bets, given the long history. I suspect that a topic ban related to the COI will happen, sooner or later. About VW, I think that it's healthy for an organization when one person plays the role of the Devil's advocate, and I don't mind VW being the lone defender of ES: It shows some character. Well, I'm sure that your talents will be useful outside WP. Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 18:14, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, "devil's advocate," good one! But I suppose you're right; criminals are entitled to a public defender. Your list focused on the socks from before he was blocked. He started using new socks after that point, though not as often. Check out [2]. The IP is located only about a mile from previous sock IPs. It claims to have "just stumbled across this" as a newcomer, which is something Edstat has done with other socks to appear to be another person. But most importantly, the trolling is seamlessly continued before and after by Edstat himself (look two edits ahead in that list). Another one is [3]. It re-uploaded the copyright violation image that was previously deleted by an administrator. The user page used to have an advertisement for Sawilowsky (since deleted). And of course, the user name is none other than Sawilowsky's journal. Those are just two obvious ones I happened to notice, so there has to be more. But there won't be a block, no matter how sad this all is. That's not how WP operates these days.

Also, I wanted to let you know that all your efforts are appreciated. WP is quite thankless, and dealing with biased bullies more so. So you deserve some thanks! Iulus Ascanius (talk) 17:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HI! "Devil's advocate" would best be appreciated by Roman Catholics, I suppose, and otherwise be ill chosen, especially in this case . "Public defender" is a better term. For personal reasons, I cannot now (and shallnot for a few weeks, I think, be able to) access the internet to do editing. If you want to add those socks to the above noted bulletin, that would help others judge the issues better. Have a good new year! Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 08:02, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why bother? Nothing will happen. WP does not have the strength to block him, and he will continue acting like a 12-year-old bully towards anyone that merely disagrees with him, especially regarding his inflated self-importance. But you have a great new year too! Iulus Ascanius (talk)

I left a comment that the anon editor needs to go to the talk page with any concerns and then I reverted the changes. You may be right about the COI. Also I feel anon editors should be require to register-accounts-before they edit. I hope this helps-RFD (talk) 21:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some more changes were made but not to the notable people section-One needs to monitor this-Thanks-RFD (talk) 11:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering why you removed watertownfreenews, and kept the watertown daily times... seems like if they both have relevant local information either keep them both or get rid of them both but don't play favorites please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.183.109.170 (talk) 03:58, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because watertownfreenews is obviously not a real newspaper, but a commercial/social networking site. I am definitely not the only editor with such standards. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 04:41, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable subtopic of a non notable essay.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
