Proposed deletion of Clyde Wright (disambiguation)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Clyde Wright (disambiguation), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Wikis Take Manhattan
|
WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.
LAST YEAR'S EVENT
- Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Spring 2008 (a description of the results, and the uploading party)
- Commons:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Gallery (our cool gallery)
WINNINGS? Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!
WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.
WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!
REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.
WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:
- 349 W. 12th St. #3

REQUEST TO BE UNBLOCKED to fix Victor E. Marsden
Someone added the following inappropriate reference for Marsden:
- "Germans,"
- in Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups
- ed. by Steven Thermstrom
- (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1980)
- Being blocked for 2 years I think is too drastic. --Ludvikus (talk) 01:15, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Also, the following Antisemitic link should be removed from the Protocols of Zion page in the "External Link" section (--Ludvikus (talk) 01:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)):

This has un-scholarly external links. As I'm blocked, I cannot make the corrections required. --Ludvikus (talk) 18:44, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- For example, it links to this ("christianparty.net") [2]. --Ludvikus (talk) 18:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- It also links to this (External links)Translation of Christianus in Talmude Iudaeorum --Ludvikus (talk) 18:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- A site which gives this dedication on the bottom: "Note from the Webmaster: This unchanged, online version of Fr. Pranaitis scholarly book, The Talmud Unmasked, is dedicated to the Holy Infant Martyr St. Simon of Trent, who was mercilessly slayed by the Jews in Trent, Italy on the 21st March, 1475 A.D." --Ludvikus (talk) 18:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Check out Wikisource's The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. A user there has taken it upon himself to edit the 1958 version of the same which was re-titled in 1958 "World Conquest Through World Government." I'm not blocked from Wikisource. But I don't want to get into any edit war there. The editor there is using an un-scholarly Web source of one David M. Dickerson. This person has been inactive since 2005. He apparently digitized the 1958 version with his own judgment. Anyway, if anyone is interested in cleaning up the mess on Wikisource regarding these Protocols of Zion it would be nice I think. --Ludvikus (talk) 21:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Sigmund Livingston 1872-1946
That's the birth & death range for the life of the above notable - founder of the ADL. You can confirm it by simply searching the Library of Congress.

New York City Meetup

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, look at our approval by the Chapters Committee, develop ideas for chapter projects at museums and libraries throughout our region, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the November meeting's minutes and the December mini-meetup's minutes).
We'll make preparations for our exciting museum photography Wikipedia Loves Art! February bonanza (on Flickr, on Facebook) with Shelley from the Brooklyn Museum and Alex from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
We'll also be collecting folks to join our little Wikipedia Takes the Subway adventure which will be held the day after the meeting.
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

Orphaned non-free media (File:1978 Symbolic snake.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:1978 Symbolic snake.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
As I'm still being un-reasonable blocked for two years, will someone please add this link to Michael Hagemeister's Page and the article of his cited therein?
- Here's the outside link I think should be added : [3]. Also, it's very important to read this 2008 article
about the Protocols of Zion and edit it accordingly, to make the Wikipedia article on this PSM conform to this latest scholarship. If and editors out there are kind enough to get me un-blocked, I'll be able to make these important additions myself.

Request reason:
Continued block is now unnecessary. This long two-year block has made me realize how to avoid disruption & the causes of being blocked.
Decline reason:
Per the discussion at WP:AN which I noted below, there does not appear to be much consensus to unblock you early. Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:54, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Discussion started at WP:AN to guage consensus for unblocking you. Please be patient as the matter is discussed. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 01:38, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

File:3 The Cause of World Unrest (New York - 1920).jpg missing description details

Proposed deletion of World domination
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
The article World domination has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This article is strictly original research. No evidence is given that any of the real historical information is related to the topic of "world domination." No references are given for fictional "world domination", or that it has even been discussed in secondary sources.
While all 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 {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Steve Dufour (talk) 02:03, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- The expression "world domination" is actually used by crackpots in their conspiracy theories. Unless, the article is edited substantially to reflect this usage, I support the deletion of the article. --Ludvikus (talk) 18:50, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- I've also noticed the qualified usage "(Jewish world domination)" here: "List of conspiracy theories." --Ludvikus (talk)!
File source problem with File:3 The Cause of World Unrest (New York - 1920).jpg
![File Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:3 The Cause of World Unrest (New York - 1920).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 06:03, 17 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 06:03, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- "The Cause of World Unrest" is an extremely important anti-Semitic text. What Henry Ford's "The International Jew" was in the United States in relation to the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," this text was in Britain. --Ludvikus (talk) 18:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Unblock request
{{unblock|(1) I have learned how to avoid being blocked in the future.(2) I understand now 100% how to avoid it - simply drop ANY confrontation with any other editor. (3) I've been blocked for over a year already, I believe (but I haven't counted it - I've lost the count. (3) I'm being requested to contributed [see above] my observations regarding proposed editing of article - but I'm unable to respond because of my being blocked.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Howard Zinn, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, nowadays the use of the term "revisionist" without any qualifier leads people to assume that the subject is a Holocaust denier, which is not what you meant. The fact that Zinn is a "revisionist" historian in the American sense probably should not go into the lede, to avoid this kind of misunderstanding. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think otherwise. The "confusion" is due to Wikipedia having failed to do it's job of making the distinction, doing disambiguation, etc. In part, I think, that's why my article is so important: Revisionist historians (American). Because the job is not easy, does not justify Wikipedians like yourself simply giving up. --Ludvikus (talk) 23:22, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
I've been watching Howard Zinn for a couple of days, waiting to see if I was going to leap in or not and am pretty satisfied, even happy about your resolution of the issue of revisionism. As far as wikipedia failing to do it's job, well it is folks like us who actually do that job and your article on American historical revisionism (yours right?) was an interesting and for me unexpected direction to go in. Life is supposed to be interesting. Carptrash (talk) 18:51, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your positive feed-back. Unfortunately, it's not easy to work in this community we know as Wikipedia. And only lately I seem to have learned how to improve my effectiveness. I think that the so-called Holocaust deniers have been so successful at promoting themselves as revisionists, that even Wikipedia was troubled by calling a noted living historian, like Howard Zinn, a revisionist. Now you may think what I've done is OK, but I'm not sure the editor who objects to the confusion will yet agree that it's safe to call Zinn a "revisionist" (in the good sense of the word. --Ludvikus (talk) 18:59, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I just emailed a historian, James Mullin, who seems to be using the term much in the way you are, and I am trying to learn to, to get an opinion. I either hear back from these folks or I don't. It's about 50/50. To many of us the word "revisionist' is a sort of dirty term with all sorts of implications but even the wikipedia article historical revisionism has little or no negative connotations. Life a wikipedia is a strange place. I have not mentioned this here (wikipedia) , but I was just interviewed by a world roving BBC crew doing a piece on "community" or something and we got into some of the frustrations involved. Probably will end up on the cutting room floor, but it was-interesting to try and put some of my feels into words. Of course my best answers occurred to me 3 hours after they'd gone. Oh well.

- Well I do agree that Historical revisionism looks like someone's college term paper rather than a standard wikipedia article. However I am not sure that I am going to tackle it because I don't have the resources to do so. Since I work Fri, Sat, Sun I certainly will not do so in the next few days. And although I have a degree in history somewhere this sort of arguement is not one that really interests me all that much. It looks like trench warfare to me. We'll see.
