Hi Samir, you deleted the page about Ray William Johnson, saying the article didn't mention the importance of this person. Well he's a tube video actor/editor, he describes his work as "I review viral videos, and sometimes I manage to be mildly entertaining... sometimes."

His channel had 4 463 649 views as of Saterday 10/11/2009, is ranked #39 worldwide and #14 in the comedy section (source : Youtube).

Could you reverse the deleting if possible ? I have no clue if it is at all possible, or what infos the page had that would be interesting, but the subject would certainly deserve a wikipedia page more than the latest pokemon invented by Nitendo...

You can contact me on utilisateur:Rioga98 (I don't know why but I can't loggon to the English version with my French ID/PSW)

Well, if he/she deleted it, it must not have been notable. - Zhang He (talk) 05:58, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I don't have an account on fr but I will reply here. The text of the article when I deleted it was 3 unsourced lines about reviewing YouTube videos and it met criteria for speedy deletion, as there was no clear reference of notability. Are there 3rd party references to this fellow? If so, perhaps recreating the article with references would be reasonable. Thanks for your note -- Samir 07:05, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Samir, I am a RayWilliam Johnson subscriber who watches weekly. He is ranked number 4 in the youtube channel charts for most veiwed this month, number 2 this week and has sat through interveiws with everyone from google to kodak, where THEY ask HIM how to make videos. He may seem like a youtube, phenomenon, but he is a legitemate entertainer. His existance is worth putting into wikipedia. An online magazine PauseToPreWind wrote an artice about him here: http://pausestoprewind.com/2010/01/is-ray-william-johnson-original-or-just-riding-on-others-content/

PLUS he does colaborations with many of the top ranked youtube video creaters including mysteryguitarman, ijustine, and shanedawsontv-- all video makers and perfomers in their own right.

He has an estimated average of 2million veiws per video on youtubesnips http://www.youtubesnips.com/results?search_query=raywilliamjohnson&search=tag

He is also reported in:

Many thanks for awarding me my first barnstar - it was quite unexpected. I will of course continue to work on gastro-related articles. At present I am working on Endoscopy unit, but I am finding this very difficult to reference (particularly design/size of unit etc.) - any ideas? On the upside I have got a couple of images of my unit to illustrate the article.

Many thanks again. Gilo ö 00:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to remove this message Samir. Really. I know bacon is a somewhat controversial subject. That's one of the reasons I tried to move onto doughnuts. But there is some sort of bacon mania among Wikipedians, and even if there are turkey bacon products, vegan bacons, and fakon bacons, it's still a greasy subject. :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,
I've started uploading some micrographs of IBD.

Here are a couple:

• 
  Cryptitis.
• 
  Crypt branching.

If there is anything to add to the descriptions (for the above images) on the Wikicommons -- please do. Nephron  T|C 06:10, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The colitis article needs a re-work. It looks like it was written by a well-meaning individual with inflammatory bowel disease. I've started the process by re-wording the introduction, which I felt was off the mark and added a micrograph. If you can find the time, your expertise would be a big plus.

File:Lab coat and scrubs.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Lab coat and scrubs.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Lab coat and scrubs.jpg]].

You reverted my change to this article with the edit summary "read d, please read article if you want to make changes". I have no idea what you meant by this summary, but regardless of exactly what you meant it is not clear what the sentence I removed refers to - I should not have to read the entire article to understand what it is referring to. As the sentence stands I do not believe it should be in the article as it is very unclear - if you wish to make the sentence clearer then my opinion may change. I have now found the relevant it in the article and see that it doesn't refer to the US specifically but the sentence in the lead is still unclear and this was always my main point - does it refer to the north of the US, the north of England, the North of France - I'm sure you get the idea. Dpmuk (talk) 23:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a slight aside - the source given in the article for the main statement only discusses Europe not the US, so the statement that it's more common in the north of the US compared to the south is sourced. Dpmuk (talk) 00:08, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Samir, there is an discussion going on about a redirect of Irritable bowel disease to the article Irritable bowel syndrome. I feel that redirecting the IBD article to the IBS article is only going to confuse the readers. Since Irritable bowel disease (IBD) is really about Inflammatory bowel disease then if a redirect is absolutely needed then it should go to that article, Inflammatory bowel disease. The discussion is going on here. If you search for Irritable bowel disease you will go to the IBS article. I would appreciate your thoughts on this at the comment section I supplied. You being a GI will certainly help with the confusion that is going on. Thanks in advance and I hope you are well, --CrohnieGal^Talk 17:03, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 I don't know who you think you are, but you wrongfully deleted a factual article on wikipedia

without reading the article or doing more research. You will find that The Groups leader actually broke a record for having the Top 6 Singles on a weekly published chart! We at Walteria Records can send you a hard copy of that chart for your records to see, and we can send you two links that have verified that the charts were broken by the band's founder and the article in question is indeed factual. The article needs to be restored asap.

I'm asking you kindly this time.

Next time do your research!

Project News WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving article quality. A number of the project's featured articles underwent featured article reviews over the past year. Of these, Darjeeling and Flag of India survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, Gangtok, Harbhajan Singh, Darjeeling and Mysore were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760), Marwari horse and Iravan were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of good articles, however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of featured lists saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16. Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced Biographies of Living People (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to 565 currently. During February-April 2010, There was a large scale disruption of Kerala related articles by a Thrissur based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP BSNL connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of Malayalam and Tamil film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like Arvind Swamy as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010. What's New? Three members of the project, Abecedare, Tinu Cherian and SpacemanSpiff received their sysop mops in October-December 2009. Congratulations! Wikipedians in Bangalore have been organising periodic meetups over the past year, in collaboration with the Centre for Internet and Society. The next meetup is scheduled for July 18, 2010. Indian and other Wikipedians from all Wikipedias in various languages are welcome to attend.

Current proposals and discussions Please add Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics to your watchlist in order to stay updated with the latest discussions regarding various aspects of the project. A discussion is underway here to reach a consensus regarding the use of Indian number names (lakh, crore etc.) in Wikipedia articles. Please participate and add your comments. Join the effort to source and save unreferenced Indian BLPs. Some unintended vandalism is going on at the Assamese Wikipedia by the sole active editor. This is a request for Assamese-conversant Wikipedians to help resolve the issue. A discussion is in progress here in order to determine whether non-Western (including Indian) forms of classical music should be referred to by the nomenclature of art music instead of classical music. Please participate and add your comments. Watchlist the Articles for Deletions page for India related discussions. Opinions from more Indian Wikipedians are required in many of the discussions. The World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 is at present underway in Coimbatore, and the Tamil Wikipedia is actively involved at the event. A detailed report will follow in the next issue. Wikimania 2010 is happening in Poland from July 7-11. Indian Wikipedians attending include Gurubrahma, Shiju Alex, Ravidreams , Santhosh Thottingal, Tinu Cherian, WMF Board member Bishakha Datta and Advisory Board member Achal Prabala. We wish them all the best! More on their experiences in the next issue. If you've just joined, add your name to the Members section of WikiProject India. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 2 – (July 2010)). Any and all contributions are welcome.

English WikiProject News After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias. Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up the Indian chapter of Wikimedia have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Wikipedia editing among the general public. In addition, a bot to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to Twitter was created and launched by User:Logicwiki. What's New? Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India was saved. Meanwhile, Chalukya Dynasty appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16. The source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc. The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the previous issue made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011. In October there was a heated discussion in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of Wiki San Roze's party symbol images by Hammersoft as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue.

News from Indian-language Wikipedias The Bengali Wikisource, which contains the literary works of many prominent writers of Bengali language including Rabindranath Tagore, has crossed the 5,000 pages milestone. According to List of Wikisource page, Bengali Wikisource is now at rank 21 among 56 Wikisource based on number of content pages. The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by Tamil Virtual University to the Tamil Wiktionary was completed in October. The words were donated by the Government of Tamil Nadu due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of largest wiktionaries and has earned it a place in the Wiktionary front page logo. In addition, Tamil Wikipedians set up a stall at the WCTC and introduced Tamil Wiki projects to people from all walks of life. The Hindi Wikipedia and its sister wiki projects migrated to the new vector interface on September 1, 2010. In addition, Hindi is the first (and so far the only) Indian language to be incorporated into the WikiBhasha translation and contribution toolkit developed by Microsoft Research. Malayalam wikimedian Santhosh Thottingal has developed a software (Wiki2CD) for the creation of the Malayalam Wikipedia CD, which was launched in 2010. In addition, Santosh, along with fellow Malayalam wikimedian Shiju Alex coordinated a panel discussion at Wikimania 2010 on creation of offline Wiki content.

Community news Mumbai and Delhi held their first meetups in September, where Wikimedia Board members Barry Newstead and Bishakha Datta met up with Wikipedians and other interested members of the public in these cities. A month later, Hyderabad also held its first meetup. Wikipedians in Bangalore continued their tradition of meeting up regularly at the Centre for Internet and Society, with the nineteenth meetup in September featuring Barry and Bishaka as attendees, and marking the release of the community newsletter. Along with Delhi and Mumbai, Bangalore is reported to be one of the three cities in contention for the Indian office of the Wikipedia Foundation. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales had an interaction with Wikipedians followed by a presentation to members of the public at the third Wikipedia meetup in Mumbai on October 31, 2010. The first Wikimarathon, where Wikipedians and members of the public were encouraged to contribute to Wikimedia projects onsite, was held simultaneously at the meetups in Bangalore and Chennai on November 14, 2010. Wikipedians in Delhi also held a meetup the same day. The Malayalam Wikipedia held several academies in different parts of Kerala over the past few months. Wikimedia Foundation board member Bishakha Datta and Indian Wikipedian Srinivas Gunta co-authored a panel presentation at Wikimania 2010 on the Wikimedia Asia Project.

Hello, your name was recently mentioned here as an example of a sysop who has taken extended wikibreaks and whose account has never appeared to be compromised. The conversation is currently located at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Suspend sysop rights after 1 Year of inactivity. As the link implies, the conversation is about (temporarily) removing rights of inactive administrators, until such time as they resume editing, at which point their rights would be returned to them. The proposal is related to a recent indecent whereby an inactive sysop account was hijacked by white supremacists. As you are an editor who would presumably would be affected by such a policy, we would appreciate your insight at the above discussion. Thanks! ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 12:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
