==== ''The New Yorker'' ====
Does anyone have electronic access to ''[[The New Yorker]]'' back to 1971? Even if it is only citation access and not full text, that would be a help, so then I could interlibrary loan the entire article. I accidentally found a ''New Yorker'' article from 1971 on Google Books on the topic of [[Tiki Gardens]], but the snippet doesn't reveal any information I can use to get the article via ILL. Thank you. [[User:Gamaliel|<

To determine the copyright status of [[:File:Portrait of Micheál Ó Coileáin.jpg|this photograph]] in its source country (Ireland), we need to know when the photographer died. We know that it is W. D. Hogan who was most prolific in the period 1920–1924 and who was a professional photographer. He worked until 1935 at 56 Henry St, Dublin. I was unable to find any traces of him after this year. The National Library of Ireland has a collection of photos of him but provides no life span (see [http://catalogue.nli.ie/Author/Home?author=Hogan%2C%20W.%20D%20photographer. here]). There was recently an exhibition of some of his photographs in Dublin (see [http://www.nli.ie/en/udlist/programme-and-events-previous-exhibitions.aspx?article=e55a1c22-8560-472a-bb4a-2f92bdf3cb3f here] and [http://comeheretome.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/w-d-hogans-run-comes-to-an-end/ here]) but his lifespan is nowhere mentioned. It would be very helpful if biographical databases, newspaper archives etc. could be recherched for his death date. As W. D. Hogan has taken a great number of unique historical photographs of the [[Irish War of Independence]] this would be helpful not just for this photograph that is currently under [[:commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Portrait of Micheál Ó Coileáin.jpg|discussion]] but the entire collection. --[[User:AFBorchert|AFBorchert]] ([[User talk:AFBorchert|talk]]) 06:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

::::Ah well I'm not really in a position to do real-life stuff like that at the moment, partly due to the limitations of contemporary psychiatry hmm so hmm anyway I have now found a way online. Interestingly in the short 1929 article, he doesn't in fact use the term sociopath but does propose "socio-pathology" - meaning pathological group behaviour, most strikingly demonstrated in national motivations for war he says. In the 1930 article he talks about sociopathy as an individual or group issue which anyone can sometimes show, but does also define 'essential sociopaths' or for short sociopaths as those with a core mental disorder involving chronic anti-social motivation & behavior. He mentions Karl Birnbaum but doesn't cite him or credit him with coining the term so still not sure about that, maybe I'll try the German wiki.

::::{{ping|Atethnekos}}The Jagged_85 case is in a class of its own. I sincerely hope we never see anything like it again. What made his edits so damaging was that they ''looked like'' they were well sourced. A lot of editors don't check references; very few indeed check references which are not available online, and Jagged_85 frequently used hard to check sources with incomplete references. This was made far worse by his prodigious output, at one point he was in the top 100 editors by number of edits. He would copy the same bad material with bad references into a dozen articles. Not only does the boosterism cause confusion and perhaps even a backlash against the exaggeration, it's immensely damaging to Wikipedia's reputation. Wikipedia references are supposed to be how you know an article is well-sourced; if you can't trust what look like good references to scholarly articles, Wikipedia is nearly useless. Some of his mistakes have been used as examples in newspapers to show how unreliable Wikipedia is. I was never quite sure if they were mistakes; at the very least, he made definitive statements about things he didn't understand. Sometimes what he wrote was so ridiculous (Avicenna was the first to describe the lever was one of my favourites) then he must surely have known that he was essentially making it up.
::::It can take 100 hours work to clean-up even one article, given how time consuming it is to track down all the references. It also requires a fair amount of understanding quite difficult sources. One of his favourite tactics was to use an article that mentions X and Y to say that X ''invented'' Y, and you have to understand what the article actually does say before you can correct his edit. I did a philosophy degree and I'm happy skimming scholarly articles to get the required information, but I can understand why few others have the understanding and patience to get involved. The time I have available is fairly limited, although I have a bit more at the moment.
