Melbourne gangland killings

Hi Agnte.

Domenico "Mick" Italiano rather than Domenico "Mick Gatto" appears to be implicated in the murder of John Furlan in 1998.

http://www.melbournecrime.bizhosting.com/john.furlan.htm could replace http://www.melbournecrime.bizhosting.com/jfurlan.htm as the current reference to John Furlan's murder.

Wikipedia article shows:

Timeline of deaths

1998

"On August 3, John Furlan, a 48 year old motor mechanic from Coburg was killed by a car bomb in his Subaru Liberty outside his home. Domenico "Mick" Gatto was treated as a suspect since he had recently been involved in a payment dispute with the deceased; however, no one has been arrested in connection with his death. [1] ".

http://www.melbournecrime.bizhosting.com/john.furlan.htm details the following:

"On September 25, 2002, the Herald Sun reported that Domenico "Mick" Italiano was suspect in the Furlan muder. Italiano, is from the family of former Melbourne Godfather Domenico Italiano Italiano's house was bugged after the killing but rather than leading to a murder charge, the taps led to him being charged with defrauding charity raffles. Appearing in court on the raffle charges, Italiano said rumours have been rife about the car-bomb explosion which killed Furlan. After Juge Roland Williams lifted a suppression order on the the plea hearing in early September 2002, it was revealed by the Herald Sun that Italiano's lawyer Peter Chadwick said his client had once leased a car yard from John Furlan. It was next door to Mr Furlan's Sydney Road home and, after the business went bust, Italiano had to pay out the lease. Mr Chadwick told the court Italiano was investigated by police after Mr Furlan was killed and rumours spread through the car industry. "Those rumours are completely denied," he said. September 24, 2002: Mick Italiano in court Two hard-nosed businessmen who rigged the raffles of a children's charity admitted their fraud. The County Court heard prizes such as luxury cars were sold at discounted prices to friends and relatives before the two raffles were conducted. But the dodgy dealings of the Youth Motor Sport Foundation came unstuck when one of its directors was investigated by the homicide squad over the unsolved car bombing of a Melbourne mechanic. The foundation was established in 1997 to help disadvantaged children "grow through motor sport" but its first raffle recorded a $20,000 loss. Co-director Thomas Cherrie then suggested rigging the next raffle so a friend or relative would "win" a car. They would then pay the foundation an amount significantly less than the prize's retail price, the court heard. Cherrie, who has pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to defraud but is yet to be sentenced, told police the rigging was as simple as putting the pre-determined winning ticket on top of the pile of tickets. The first rigged raffle, in May 1998, resulted in Italiano's cousin Luigi Ponte, 33, of Keilor, "winning" a BMW 528 worth $100,000. Mr Ponte, who paid the foundation $74,200 for the car, was found not guilty by a jury after arguing he had no knowledge of the fraud. The same jury also found co-director Pasquale Laguda not guilty of two charges of conspiracy to defraud. The court heard that in a second raffle a business associate of Italiano won a Mercedes-Benz SL 500 after paying $180,000 for the car, which had a wholesale value of $240,000. Car dealer Mario Costanzo, 50, of Eltham, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud over the Mercedes-Benz and was fined $10,000 and sentenced to six months' jail, suspended for three years. Costanzo had agreed to become involved because Italiano owed him $60,000, which he could not repay. The court heard rigged foundation raffles resulted in another person "winning" a Bali holiday and a cleaner at Italiano's Richmond car yard "winning" a Mercedes-Benz. Prosecutor Rob Just told Judge Roland Williams a total of $513,700 had been collected in ticket sales for the two rigged raffles. Judge Williams sentenced Italiano, who pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiracy to defraud and who has lost his wife and business as a result of the offences, to 2 1/2 years' jail, of which all but six months was suspended for three years. Judge Williams said he wondered about the original intentions of the businessmen in becoming involved in children's charities. He said the dishonest scheming had resulted in the cheating of the public and the consequential erosion of public trust in such ventures that were intended to make money for good causes".

Image speedies

Thanks a million for picking out possible speedy delete candidates from among the 9000 unsourced images. Just a minor point, but it would help if you could add the relevant date to {{nosource}} when you tag for speedy (that should have been done by the editor who added {{nosource}}, but there you go...). Otherwise, keep up the good work! Physchim62 (talk) 08:06, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Also, please don't mark images as speedy unless the uploader have actually been notified that his image lacks a source/license on his talk page. Many people forget to do this when applying the {{no source}} template in the first place. Thue | talk 15:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm using my discretion there... A lot of images have been uploaded by users who are no longer active. And a lot of the time theyve been warned about this with other images theyve uploaded and done nothing... so if this is the case, I've not bothered with them. Also, If the images *isnt* a blatant copyvio then I usually put a message on the article talk page. The templates Ive been using are at User:Agnte/ImageCleanups Agnte 15:51, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I am perfectly willing to speedy images if the uploader has been asked about other images and have not acted, or in very obvious cases. But in cases that are not completely clear-cut like Image:Jeremiah morrow bridge1.jpg you should post a message on the uploader talk page before marking speedy. Thue | talk 16:02, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Cool, no problems. Agnte 16:07, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Jhhj.jpg

Thanks for the tip-off. I don't mean to pass the buck, but that image was uploaded by User:JoeM. I believe he's been unbanned now, so i'll leave it to him (?) to tag it.

Re: Jovan Cvijic.png

Uroš Predić, who painted the painting died on February 11, 1953. So, if I get it right, this painting goes into PD in something like 18 years. Could it be licenced under fair-use until then, since it is by far the best portrait/photo of Jovan Cvijić? – Obradović Goran (ta^lk 21:35, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Well I don't have any source info, I only know that Uroć Predić painted it, since he is one of the most famous Serbian painters. This picture may even be in the PD, but I'm no expert, and I don't have the information. That would be all I can do to help... – Obradović Goran (ta^lk 21:47, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

It'd be great if these kind of iamges had {{Non-free fair use in}} and the instructions on Wikipedia:Image description page were followed and a fair use rationale was provided. Popular culture and sports articles are particularly bad offenders when it comes to sourcing and following the rules for fair use.--nixie 10:58, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

{{no source}}

Hey, I know this is a stupid question, but you are the first I've seen that's added a date to the {{no source}} tag on images. Do they work without the dates, or should I go back and add the date to all of images I've tagged this past week (I help out in the PUI area)? I'm sorry, I just never actually saw anything mention that, but it does explain the weird {{{{1}}}} thing that shows up. Thank you!  :) --Foofy 01:55, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Ahuh! it's not a stupid question, because the template was changed and as far as I can tell no instructions were issues on how to deal with it. Anyway, the usage i've been using is {{no source|~~~~~}} which automatically timestamps it, and makes it easier for admins to delete - but nothing gets automatically deleted around here, so you dont need to go back and re-do them. I've be backdating any timestamps that I see when working from the IUS area. Have a look at User:Agnte/ImageCleanups for the other templates ive been using. hope that helps.

Re my Joshua Tree image: this is a US government public domain image, I think I got it from the National Park Service Web site, but that's down right now so I can't check, and I can't figure out how to edit the page in question. (I'm also confused by the dates on the "this will be removed" warning--it looks as though this "will be removed" note is about ten days old, but it states a removal date in 2004.) The tag it should have is {{PD-USGov-Interior}}. Vicki Rosenzweig 21:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Mountain Goat

Yes I have drunk the beer, and it had some yeast sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Added to which the brewery claims the beer is unfiltered and unpasteurised - the requirements for a bottle conditioned beer, and RateBeer.Com has it listed as a bottle conditioned beer. The style of the beer is a bitter or pale ale. But calling an Australian beer a "bitter" might lead to confusion with those hoppy lagers the Aussie brewers call bitter. I changed what someone had listed as "real ale" into something more specific and verifiable (I suspect when served on draught it wouldn't qualify as Real Ale, which is a very limiting and strict CAMRA definition), though I didn't actually change the style. Cheers! SilkTork 18:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Real Ale. Yes, I agree that the term Real Ale is widely misunderstood. I have looked again at the page for Real Ale and made another adjustment which I hope will make the term a little clearer. It might be an idea if I adjust the entry in Mountain Goat to read Pale Ale as neither Real Ale or Bottle Conditioned is a beer style, which is what that beer box wants to say. All I was doing was going through Wiki and correcting sentences which mentioned Real Ale when Cask Ale was the more exact term. The Mountain Goat entry was awkward because the term Real Ale it was in that beer box under style. SilkTork 22:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Leunig

Hi,

you seem to be plugged into Wikipedia; can you try to get the Leunig page locked for a while? I'm getting tired of removing POV comments from a couple of editors, as I suspect you are.

I've nominated it for a lock, but it doesn't seem to have happened.

tks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.138.75 (talk • contribs)

Its now locked, but I doubt the current semi-protection lock isn't going to help - it only prevents editing by new or anonymous users, and our POV-pushers have legit accounts. Agnte 10:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your voting!

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper.

Beer cats & kittens

It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson and supported by User:Syrthiss that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. This proposal has been supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Resolving conflict

Hi Agnte. We had a conversation in Feb about Mountain Goat. People in the Wiki Beer Project feel that my editing style is causing problems. Looking back at my record I am inclined to agree that I may have been a bit arrogant in my editing, and perhaps in my dealings with people. It was never my intention to be rude, or to appear as though I was taking matters into my own hand without regard for others, but I can see that it has happened. I wish to apologise if any any point in our contact you felt I was being dismissive of your views, or was pushing my own views onto you. I would welcome your feedback. And I would like to know if you feel the matter regarding Mountain Goat has been resolved to your satisfaction, or if there are still issues there that we need to talk about.

Fair use rationale for Image:Alphonse-Gangitano.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Alphonse-Gangitano.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Replaceable fair use Image:Jill-Singer.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Jill-Singer.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:50, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Invitation

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 06:34, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
