- Hello I contact user Stifle who was the admin who deleted the article. They have an awesome wizard where they can "undelete" a page if you give reason, or they can let you have a copy of the "deleted page" for your own records. Just check out message wizard on Stifle's talk page. It's linked as "Talk" after Stifle's name and at the top of Stifle's talk page. Kind REgards SriMesh | talk 01:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
request for copy of article Arnold Tremere
[edit]Dear Stifle,
I would like to revisit the Arnold Tremere article I posted earlier. I plan to see if I can get this submission to conform to Wiki standards. It was mentioned on another page that fulfilling this type of request is usually reserved for someone with an established history of submissions, however, this article was my first attempt to submit anything. SriMesh suggested that this article was actually deleted because the subject was not sufficiently "known" relative to the people on the Medicine Hat page. If this is true, I would greatly appreciate that feedback in order to decide whether or not to proceed with revisions and/or to perhaps more appropriately place any such revisions with the Arnold Tremere link in Shaunavon, Sasketchewan. I look forward to any suggestions you have to offer.

- Thank you for your message. In future, please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ at the end.
- While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question could have been answered and resolved more quickly if you had used my message wizard. It's linked as "Talk" after my name and at the top of my talk page. Why not try it next time?
- I've restored the article and placed it at User:Amazona01/Arnold Tremere. You should work on it there prior to restoring it to its original title when it is ready. Stifle (talk) 09:09, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- A quick note of thanks for restoring the article Arnold Tremere so that I may have another go at it. --Amazona01 (talk) 00:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have started to reorganize the Tremere article. I am uncertain about how much detail to go into on the kinds of transitions that occurred in Canadian agriculture during his time as director (for example NAFTA was signed at this time which spurred a fairly grand scale fight between the US and Canadian agricultural governmental bodies). Also, even after reviewing other biography type submissions I find that I am uncertain about how much documentation is required to meet the notability criteria. Some people seem to be noteable for being bad hockey goalies, some notable for just being in the NFL and others notable for being on American Idol. I want to be sure to provide thorough support in the article but not drone on about stuff nobody cares about. As I am new to Wikipedia I am unclear on the roles that different levels of participants play in the process of editing. Is there anyone who would want a quick check of my article before I try to repost? Also, could you point me in the direction for a tech support page on how to correctly add references in the text as well as the keystroke for the tilde? Thanks for any insights or redirects. --Amazona01 (talk) 15:32, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- Please note that you should leave messages on User talk:Stifle rather than User:Stifle. To answer your questions in order:
- The folks at WP:NCHP will probably be able to check the article better than I could.]
- WP:HD is good for help using Wikipedia, although to your specific questions, WP:CS tells you how to do references, and for how to write a tilde, see Tilde#Tilde_with_keyboards.
- I hope that helps. Stifle (talk) 16:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Stifle, I have tried to follow up on all your links from the message above. I did not have much success with the WP:NCHP although I am probably submitting my request for help to the wrong people or in the wrong way. I also couldn't get the tilde command to work. Using Unicode I can place small tildes into the text with keystrokes but these are not recognized by the Wiki text editor, so do not format the signature; no biggie, I can just copy it until I figure it out. Thanks once again for all your help. I have reposted the article and saved a copy of the text so that if it is taken down again, I can keep at it.

- Hello there again. Here is one of wikipedia's best or featured biographies of an agricultural person...Norman Borlaug. Here are other agricultural personages Bruce McAbee, Grant MacEwan, Cecil Frederick Patterson who are written up on wikipedia. When to use references would be when material / sentences / facts may be challenged....is it real or make believe? Here is a copy and paste page for citations...citation templates here is a page for learning references for wikipedia Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. I wikified the references existing on the article page, and added an infobox. The biography which was very well worded was put into sections in chronological order. The wikipedia lead paragraph summarises the main points of the entire article. I added a see also section as well. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 03:41, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding your article on how much is too much. I am also still in the learning curve on this one, I have only worked with other editors to achieve GA status on my articles, and would still like to work with others to get an article to Featured one day :-) so you will meet with other who have better ideas than moi. What it helps to do is to read over featured articles in the same vein as the one being developed. The items /facts added should all have a citation or inline reference to verify the additions, or the work will be for naught. Read Wikipedia:Verifiability Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed. Its kind of like doing genealogy it doesn't do any good to fly to London and write from a certificate the information for the genealogy files, it is better to have the birth certificate to show that you were there, and attach the documentation to the genealogy database so 10 years later it is not forgottten that that tidbit of information came from an archive in London. If you have conference papers then use the copy and paste template for conferences from citaton templates to verify what is added or paraphrased - reworded - or quoted - from the speeches and what not. Also from the referencing page ...To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. Not necessary but fun sometimes is to develop a did you know hook for the article on Aenold Tremere, so the page could be featured on the main page. A hook needs to be paraphrased from a inline reference. Would you happen to have a reference or citation that would connect Arnold Tremere directly to ...The major defining events during his period as Director included the advent of North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA in 1989 and signing of the agreement in 1994. or another defining event which would be interesting such as would be comparable to these....Template talk:Did you know This is also shown in the article Norman Borlaug at the time it became featured, it had no problems, since then additions have been added, and currently someone added a citation needed tag to a concept which didn't make sense to them, or they felt it should have a inline citation to verify the claim about Norman Borlaug.
- Adding verifiable content usually always helps.. check out biography ratings as well as the biography project in general for helpful hints. The articles I gave as examples were in different stages of being developed or worked on by editors. Norman Borlaug was the most developed, and became featured. Grant MacEwan became what is known as a B class article meeting B class criteria. Cecil Frederick Patterson is a start class article. The Talk:Grant MacEwan, Talk:Norman Borlaug pages of the articles show the biography ratings as well as the development process between editors. To get similar feedback on your article, you could ask for an Canadian assessment - a biographical peer review and/or general peer review. There used to be a Saskatchewan article collaboration page a while ago, but it still has some interesting ideas for article development and how to meet up with other editors for ideas...Wikipedia:Saskatchewan collaboration. These are more feature class biography articles on wikipedia. They are mixture, not all are agriculturally related biographies however, but they are the best of the best biographies to learn from. Read the biography article talk pages too! ;-) So a good article on wikipedia meets the Good article criteria. A featured article meets the featured article criteria. Maybe reading some articles, ideas and style guides from those pages will also help you with the content, length, and what to add. This is a loooo---ong rambling note, I hope there are one or two things which may help. Wikipedia is a huge animal to learn where all the ideas are hiding.

Wow!!
[edit]Did you add a lot to the horse breed, Campolina. WikiProject Equine has only 3 FA-Class equine articles of which Thoroughbred is one. Your additions added references in the first paragraph which was added, then stopped adding references, but should have kept going adding references. Did you use the book ... A World Dictionary of Livestock Breeds, Types and Varieties ... for the rest of the facts on the article or was your information from a variety of books and articles? I formulated the webpages into inline citations or external links as deemed appropriate to the content. The only thing that separates wikipedia from a blog or spam and helps wikipedia approach encyclopaedia brittanica type of content is that the facts have a source or reference as the information goes along. For instance I tried to verify the hands high height online, and found two sources with two different answers! So I added inline citations and quoted them both. I tried to find more verification of the appearance, but only one book talked about the body parts, so all I came up with was an online book sentence that mentioned flat foreheads, not much compared with all the nuggets you found!! The more of them inline citaton references that you can add the much better!!!! Look at how many inline citations that the article Thoroughbred uses. There are 10 GA class GA-Class equine articles to peruse. The only sentences of an article which don't need citations and references is the lead... that is because the lead is written last and it introduces the reader to the facts in the article so the references are really in the article, but in the various sections.
You did an awesome job assembling the information into sections, and finding an external link to help define body parts via an image. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 03:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- If you look at the history of the article, a person, User:Montanabw who belongs to wikiproject equine has requested inline links to other wikipedia articles to help explain terms such as hands height and hoof and such. I added a few which I could find online ... most of the time just nesting the term in brackets will wikilink the term..[[ ]]
- It is too bad there are not more sources in English for all this wonderful information. I am not too much of a horse person, but I wish I was...maybe you can have a horse connection with User:Montanabw SriMesh | talk 06:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- You sure did pick up a lot of information about watching the judging of the Campolina horses in this manner...Did you get to travel to Brazil? Did you see the beautiful waterfalls there? Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 01:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
There are over 160 website pages on google which come up about Wade Regehr. I am sure that with his publications, and inroads in neurobiology, a fairly sweet biography could be made that would comply to wikipedia Manual of Style. This is the same fellow we are talking about....Wade Regehr is a professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. He was born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. He received his Ph.D. from Caltech... Possibly the infobox on medical people would be better than the infobox on scientists to supplement the article rather than the standard person infobox. Did you want to start it at the sandbox, and we can putter on it together, and then plunk it into article main space??? Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 01:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Seasons greetings. This fellow Wade Regehr is truly fascinating. I have started an article about him, and would still like to develop it further. To imagine, our little Shaunavon, and this professor studying neurobiology. Well, it is awesome!!! Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 05:16, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comments. I wrote about the field he is known for, which is pre-synaptic calcium dynamics, but I have to learn more about endogenous cannabinoids and Purkinje cells to continue any further, which seems to be his more current work. I thought perhaps the Shaunavon local history book mayhaps would have a bit of his early life, as I cannot find his Canadian elementary, secondary school or college which he attended before receiving his doctorate at Caltech. I cannot find any family life, current status -wife, children, or parental family life for the biography portion. I can only find a lot about him in seminars and what have you. SriMesh | talk 22:56, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
You have added a wealth of information about your first two articles, it would be interesting to see how Georgia O'Keefe could expand as well. Good luck with it. SriMesh | talk 01:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello
[edit]The sandbox article was made before - when we were still contacting Stifle. I think it was just missed. I'll delete it now. The article space Arnold Tremere is still there. It is still a blue link. :-)
The easiest way to avoid controversy on wikipedia is to plunk a citation at the statement of the article, showing a book, etc states such and such also. However, this is not the easiest thing to do all the time. We are trying elsewhere to get an article to pass Good article, and we have to re-write sections which do have boooks, and experts to back up our facts to get it good to go, as some of the original sections were translations from other language wikis. Oh my goodness!!!
That would be oh so awesome to be able to visit Brazil. You sure have learned a lot from your visits, and interactions down there! Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 20:08, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. Thanks for your comments about the hook. It started out separating the two new articles, Axon terminal and Wade Regehr which were both recently written. The occurence of Synaptic plasticity would occur at the place of the Axon terminal. I am not sure if there is an inline citation on the Regehr article about Synaptic plasticity, but Regehr, did a lot in this field, as it was easy to see with the Calcium dye and fluorescent microscopy. The folks reviewing the DYK hooks, suggest the new re-modulated hook good to go as a double new article hook, as soon as there is room on the DYK listing. It is hard to make this information non-technical. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 22:59, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- What I suppose would be a good idea is to add Regehr's work to the Synaptic plasticity article as well as the other bio-neurology issues he has made inroads in. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 23:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello there. Some folks as well helped with the DYK hook so it went forward from there as a collaboration. the article on Merzenich has alreay a bit of a start. I may help to wikify it into a standard of wikipedia biographies with sections, and infobox. I do find biographies interesting to work on. Good luck with the other Sillito person. I am also tinkering around trying to get the North Sea and Council of Keewatin passed to GA as well these days. Helping others out with a collaboration on those topics. I found some Portugese links for Campolina the other day, and google was not too too bad on the translations. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 05:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
re talk page
[edit]I still see all of your messages on your talk page. It is a mystery to me why they have disappeared for you!! SriMesh | talk 02:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Excellent! That is good news. I sent you an email as well, as if this page wasn't working it wouldn't do much good to just reply here...so you will have a duplicate email as well. :-)
- I have been puttering at Michael Merzenich as well. He has been a very busy fellow. The article had a good base already, just adding a few more sections and what have you.
- Happy New year!!! Hope you have an awesome one!

[edit]Hi there. Awesome additions about the early life of Arnold Tremere. Did you get it from the local history book? Kind regards SriMesh | talk 06:02, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Meeting / interview references
[edit]According to Lesley University Libraries this is how you would site the interview / meeting where you obtained information about Tremere.... Lecture, speech, address, or reading (When citing an oral presentation, give the speaker’s name; title of the presentation, if known, in quotation marks, or a descriptive label; the meeting and sponsoring organization; the location; and the date.)

Help
[edit]Well to seek help on wikipedia is very versatile and several.
- Look at the article's talk page. Thereon there may be established "banners" identifying the various and several different wikiprojects which may be interested in collaboration to improve the article in question. (ie Tremere belongs to Agriculture WP, CA WP, SK WP, and biography wikiprojects) Then go the specific wikiproject closest to your query ie in this case perhaps Wikiproject biography. Go the WP Bio talk page and add a query there, just as you would on my user talk page. {Extra: If you then click on the watch tab at the top of the article talk page, that will help. When you are at your own user or user talk page, there is a my watch list link at the top of the web browser page to click on which opens up and shows changes or updates which have happened on the pages you are watching, then you are alerted to someone editing the page there. }
- Add a specific query right on the article's talk page. Like for instance the article Shaunavon, Saskatchewan has a few people raising questions on the Shaunavon article's talk page.
- If you need other help, check out Wikipedia:Questions for technical or general queries.
- Place
{{helpme}}
on your own talk page along with your concern, or query and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. - Use a specialised search engine for example google with a specific search to wikipedia only which focuses on wikipedia itself for outstanding queries.
- Find a Participant's user name on a specific wikiproject... For example the wikiproject biography participant list. Contact the random participant user directly with your query.
- Look at the history page of the article which you have a query about in particular. ie For the article Michael Merzenich I could peek at the Revision history of Michael Merzenich page and expand the search to 500 entries. Then there may be other actual wikipedia users and editors who are interested in this specific article (as they have already edited the self same article), and then you can talk to them on their talk pages. Look at the participant's (i.e. mine) contributions or user page to see their interests. ie Dana boomer (talk · contribs) is interested in Campolina horses, and Masterpiece2000 (talk · contribs) is interested in Michael Merzenich. Don't bother contacting a user name identified with the letters bot in the title such as SmackBot or DumZiBoT as Bots are just computerised programmed robots performing basic clean up tasks.
- Look at a wikiprojects talk page such as perhaps the Canada notice board if your query was based on some article relating to Canada and read some queries and answers there, as these folks are the active editors on CA WP for example. Contact the wikipedia editor from that notice board page, who has answered a similar question such as yours.
These are probably the easiest routes to find help. AS you edit on wikipedia, and in a certain area, it mayhaps will happen, you will see those editors who have similar interests and who are active online, and you mayhaps will come to identify those editors who have become administrators (Those who have been on wikipedia for a while who have elected to go a step further than editing articles) who make executive type decisions about spam and controversy in various fields and topics. This should give you a bit of versatility in your help type queries, perhaps. Kind Regards. SriMesh | talk 00:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Notability of Dr. M Leboldus
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Dr. M Leboldus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Theseeker4 (talk) 15:47, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello there. Regarding Dr. Martin LeBoldus he has the award that he established as well as the high school in his honour, as you say. I tried to google him, and the high school pops up incessantly. If there are some sources which can verify his notability, then if he was on wikipedia, others who know him or know of him, can add content as well, helping the article to grow in this regards. Establishing the initial beginnings is the part that is interesting. Being that he has started more than one award, and was notable enough for a high school, should mean he did something along the way, google is not working very well in this regard however. If it were a small town he was involved with, it would be easier to add a brief bio. Do you know if he was born in a small town :-) ? Anyway, I too will keep my eyes wide open in this regards for a while as well. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 00:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I removed your gallery section :-( The references are still there :-) All that was missing was the ending </gallery> ending tag on one of the additions. The gallery tags just need to be at the top and bottom of the image lising. I re-added the coding to the Campolina talk page so you would still have your data saved. But I cannot get the images not to be red wikilinks...ie not existing on either wikipedia or wikimedia commons. Are these your own pictures you wish to upload at wikimedia commons / or have uploaded? SriMesh | talk 03:15, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- A quick fix is to click on the history tab at the top of the article page, and restore the article to a version before you started working on the change. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 03:18, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hello there... it was Dana boomer who figured out why the red wikilinks were there. Wikipedia is CasE SenSitIvE...so these images were uploaded to commons as File:Pampa Campolina.JPG and not File:Pampa Campolina.jpg. So that was the story about the red links. The images in Wikicommons are now also in categories...You may want to also look at the big Horse Category How to categorize a horse. As you are more a horse person than I. I put all the Campolina horses into the Category:Campolina a part of Category:horse breed. The one of the head got an extra one called Category:Horse heads....and the picture of the black campolina went into CategoryBlack horses a part of Category:Horse coat colors. I wasn't sure of the other horse coat colours. SriMesh | talk 22:18, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Howdy doody again. I re-uploaded the file Arnold Tremere.pdf as ArnoldTremere.png to wikimedia commons, as there are only certain suffixes that show up as pictures on the internet... .jpg .gif .svg .png for example. However, another note has arisen in regards to the image.....

- No problem about helping with the picture. You always have such wonderful contributions! Keep up the good work. Thanks for the note about the breed/breeders and why the low numbers. That makes total sense. It is the same as what happened with my grandpa's apples that he made special species of one of the first large varieties of apples that could grow in Saskatchewan climates that wasn't a crabapple but an apple.

Arnold Tremere image
[edit]Hello there I popped over to wikimedia commons, and the message was ... Deletion requests for Arnold Tremere They figure that even though the image was re-uploaded it would be clearer from a format that did not use the pdf adobe formatting first. Do you have the image in a *.jpg or*.gif format? They do suggest a complete re-upload would work the best. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 23:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:ArnoldTremere.jpg
[edit]![File Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:ArnoldTremere.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 09:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
File copyright problem with File:Adult male head.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Adult male head.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. [midnight comet] [talk] 15:35, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — This, that, and the other (talk) 03:39, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
