Headset Article Clean-Up
[edit]Hi there,
I really want to help clean-up this article as I think that it is really helpful for a lot of people out there who have misunderstandings or questions about headsets. Your suggestions on Wikifying, quality standards and citations seem a bit vague for me to get started. Do you think you can give some specific suggestions to where you see the biggest problem lies?? Thanks!!!

Advertising angle
[edit]Dear Corvus Cornix,
Hi, thank you for your comment, I think that I may have included too much details about their product, hence I've deleted the section on "Innovations" completely. My intent is to introduce this alternative cost-effective solutions for office telephone headsets other than the other traditional brands. I've added the section on Ergonomics previously to educate the usage of headset. Do you think it's much more neutral now. BTW, thanks for the grammatical changes too!
Feel free to discuss.
Thanks. Saintpako (talk) 03:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)pako
Hi, It was a Betabot Malfunction
[edit]Hi,
The IRC Group Wikipedia Group did it as it was a bot function, Sceptre told me to simply report as vandalism as it was quicker.
Please join the discussion to discuss it with everybody if required. We also had an admin doing it to, placebo_effect.

- I verify that I asked s/he to do it. Most of them were invalid tags, and I chose to revert as vandalism because of the amount of tagged images and the speed needed. Will (talk) 21:39, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- The second a bot malfunctions, it becomes a vandalbot. Will (talk) 21:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Still, given the fact it made 750 edits in six minutes, that is spamming. It's allowed to spam image pages for specific reasons. Tagging used images as orphans is not one of them. While BC didn't intend to, it still did it. Will (talk) 21:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the above from a delete to a speedy - don't know what you reckon, but I think it falls foul of db-bio. Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 21:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Db-bio covers "web content" - would fit under that, I think, since it's a pretty non-notable youtube video. Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 21:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit]It wasnt an attack, it was a poem by Dave Chappelle. I was adding it and then linking it to his page...
- It actually is a notable poem, this is one of the two poems he wrote and recited on tv when he came back from africa. If theres a way of linking the poems to his page and not have to put them on wikipedia, I wouldnt mind doing that. But, this is a notable poem. Theres also a second poem. The Orators has its own page, a notable poem by a famous poet.Peoplez1k 04:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- K delete the page, Ill just add a redirect to the webpage that has the poems on them. If that is against the rules just put it in my discussion page and Ill take it off.Peoplez1k 04:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- The poems are written on his official Forums. The forums belong to him.

[edit]Even while Administrator intervention is being requested? ++Arx Fortis 04:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- It seems very counter to common sense that a user would be allowed to remove warnings from their talk page while they were in the very act of vandalism. Regardless, in addition to your "advice" to me, why didn't you also discourage the user against obvious vandalism and harassment of me? I'm just wondering why you singled me out. ++Arx Fortis 04:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- While recent changes is a wonderful tool, your comments "I have no idea what your disagreement is. I don't know if or what the other person did. I'm not really interested." epitomize the issue at hand. You didn't consider the context which resulted in a somewhat knee-jerk reaction. Even under the most pedantic interpretation of WP:DRC, it is not intended as means for a vandal to hide their warnings so they can continue vandaling. Given the examples shown, there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell this guy was going to stop his vandalism until it was noted by an administrator and appropriate action taken...in this case a three-day ban. Regardless, I don't make it a habit of reverting talk pages. ++Arx Fortis 05:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Regardless of whether I was wrong or right, my point is, if you're trying to make a constructive contribution to Wikipedia, perhaps you should find out the context before applying a virtual template to a page. As WP:DTR says, "for most editors that have been around a while....telling them "did you know we had a rule against this" tends to be counterproductive in resolving the issue." ++Arx Fortis 05:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Don't attack you? Where did I do that??? ++Arx Fortis 05:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I know you have said that you have "nothing further to discuss" on this matter but I thought you might like to know that I raised this discussion on the Don't restore removed comments Talk Page, here. Apparently this is still just a proposed guideline and how it might apply to removed vandalism and block warnings is still to be determined. Thanks. Shawn in Montreal 22:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit]I removed the notability tag from the Chymax article as Chymax is a patented Pfizer product.
I was given permission...
[edit]I was given permission by the band themselves to use it. They said I could file it under "My Own Work". The band are friends of mine (Dr Manhattan (band)). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alkalinetrio78 (talk • contribs) 23:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I cannot provide for those. I was going to put it as the band's work, but, the website was going to delete it. Can't you help me out? I'm new. I haven't been on. They might even take the article about the band off the site yet the band is going to have a release on an important indie label (Vagrant Records). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alkalinetrio78 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
First, will you help me out to actually keep the image on?
And also, here is the rule:
Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
They have a release day set for their debut album. It is a self-titled album and is coming out March 11, 2008, so yes, I am quite sure the band meets the requirements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alkalinetrio78 (talk • contribs) 23:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Will you explain to me why that is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alkalinetrio78 (talk • contribs) 23:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh no, I swear, this is no garage band. I totally and completely understand the "garageband rule", but Dr Manhattan (band) is legitametly (sp?) signed by a record label that held Alkaline Trio for 3 or 4 albums. They also signed Saves the Day and The Get Up Kids. They are a legit band and are no longer a little garage band. Alkalinetrio78 23:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Isn't there any way that we can keep the article on here until the cd is released? Alkalinetrio78 23:53, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Nah, their single hasn't really been released yet. 2 song samplers have been released at their shows, but not like, on the charts. Wait, did you check them out? Alkalinetrio78 23:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Can't you just take the tag off? Haha, that would be my best guess.-Alkalinetrio78 00:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh come now, have I not defended my case effectively?-Alkalinetrio78 00:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Yo man? What's the deal? You deleted it.-Alkalinetrio78 01:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
If you tell me the reason why Freshslice is in for speedy deletion, I'll try to fix it since I see nothing wrong with the article/stub. ~~Annoyomous24~~ 00:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Myanmar
[edit]According to ALL and EVERY wikipedia and sub-/partner- project page regarding 'edit warring', by it's various names and terms, I must partake in multiple changes of edits. No such "warring" has taking place as I did not make more than one REVERT or SUBVERT edit. I also did not cut and paste, I was simply blocked out before finishing the modification (changes made since I hit the edit tag). I've been here quite some time. You, or others ma block my account if you wish for removing a political bias and point-of-view, for updating a collection of articles to CURRENT INTERNATIONAL REALITY, but call it as it is and don't hide behind fantasy charges of actions I did not commit. As for copyright, I am a legal practitioner (records and licence verifiable), I am well aware of what copyright is and challenge you to prove that I violated any such legal regulation and that the intended finished set of edits (a re-direct) would have violated any legal law.
Rather than attack; you would find a more interested listening reaction by discussing. Your charges are unfounded and statements of claimed or intended criminal activity without proof and documented evidence, as well as court decision (copyright violation) to any party other than site management, the claimed infringer, or law-enforcement, is a good way to find yourself in serious legal trouble. Wikipedia has various copyright DISPUTE tags you could have notified me with. You are flat out WRONG in the statement that I have violated copyright. You have now committed an act of defamation in public record. Do NOT do that again, to myself or anyone else.
Take into account I'm not threatening you, I'm warning you; use your head! My intentions AS STATED ON MY USER PAGE are to remain politically neutral. The current Myanmar series of redirects (fact: there is no legally recognized entity in current existence know as or with the inclusion of Burma) are a spider's web mess. Half the wikipedia SITE's links go nowhere. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect#Undesirable_edirects. How-about another fact of this situation; I was working from the bottom of the pile up; to correct EVERY redirect. That's something no one else has taken the time to do, including yourself.
One does not have to agree with a situation to admit it exists. I myself practice a branch-offshoot of Buddhist Philosophy. Personally knowing people who live there, and having visited Myanmar; I feel deeply for the people struggling in that country. My personal feelings did not hinder in my recognition of the legal reality that the country is not called Burma. When completed; the series of edits, would have be complete, USABLE, correct, and free from POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lostinlodos (talk • contribs) 23:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

RickK
[edit]I was not part of the dispute RickK had. I was completely uninvolved. I was on a vacation back then. To but it bluntly I do not understand what you are getting at. -- Cat chi? 16:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- You were inserting a copyvio into an article, and RickK kept reverting it. He got blocked for vandal fighting. Corvus cornixtalk 17:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- I think RickK got blocked for revert-warring. I do not clearly recall the details on that particular case but IIRC he was having an interaction (revert war) with SPUI ([1] [2]) not me. He also seems to have wheel wared over SPUI's block. I was NOT the person blocking him and I was not revert/wheel waring either. While I did revert him once, that alone was not the reason for his block. He was only blocked for 24 hours which was pardoned several minutes later. I had taken the time and looked at the 3rr history as this particular case happened before we had 3rr archives. I have this link to the case which I was not a participant. In sum, I did not drive anyone away. My involvement with that particular case can be said to be minimal. -- Cat chi? 18:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- It was your copyright violation that SPUI, who had problems with RickK anyway, kept re-inserting. Corvus cornixtalk 18:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- How are edits by someone else my responsibility? Please do not get this the wrong way but it appears you are blaming me for SPUI's edits. SPUI might have just as easily picked some other case and things would end up the same way. I did not invite SPUI. In fact I did not even know SPUI... In fact I never liked SPUI. -- Cat chi? 18:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Tactical Girls
[edit]I am a big fan of female action heroes and think the Tactical Girls free website[3] and calendar is as relevant as many of the others listed under "See Also". The Bikini Bandits entry is practically a fan site for them, with myspace listings. When it comes to girls with guns, there is not much out there and a lot of it is in extraordinarily poor taste.
As far as encyclopedias go, I thought the whole idea of wikipedia was to include subjects from current pop culture and other sources that might not be found in the Encyclopedia Britannica. I rewrote the listing with a more neutral tone in the hope that it would satisfy the wiki requirements.
After all, the whole Girls with Guns genre is about entertainment. However, if I were a Sociology Major interested in the relatively recent development of the female action hero, or portrayal of women as action heroes, I might want to discuss the entire spectrum, from the over the top Bikini Bandits to the obviously right wing and chauvinistic Stacked and Packed to Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.
I believe this entry is relevant to a pop culture subject. Would it be more appropriate in the external links section? I want to do this right. Thanks,--Hbflp07 (talk) 13:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
The subject is new enough that reliable sources discussing it do not yet exist. Therefore, would it not be appropriate to simply at least list it as an external link, related to the overall genre, as a way for a user to come to their own conclusions about its relevancy?--Hbflp07 (talk) 17:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
If I examine the Bikini Bandits entry, I do not see a reference from Ted Koppel from Nightline discussing them, their entry seems to be written by a fan of theirs also. It is information about pop culture entertainment. The Tactical Girls website, just like the Bikini Bandits films (films made and sold for profit . . .) exists and is relevant to to the genre of Girls with Guns. It it least deserves mention as an external link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hbflp07 (talk • contribs) 20:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit]I noticed that too. However, the article says that they are examples of them. There was only one source I could find that said the location of the painting (sources have been very hard to find) [4].

- It's a report of what games they listed. A reproduction of the actual extensive text of their report would be a violation. Take a look--the amount used just about 1% of the original. DGG (talk) 17:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

RIT Model RR Club Article Notablility
[edit]What am I missing for a certain level of notability in this article?
If I look at Student Organizations listed on the Rochester Institute of Technology article, the only other one to have an article is WITR - with what seems to be little information other than some basic facts. Would it help to cite external references of the club? Such as this article D&C article I must admit there are not a overwhelming amount of external information about the club - but to the Students, Alumni and Community we are involved with we do try to make a difference.
Perhaps it is best that I remove the Rochester & Irondequiot Terminal article and merge it with this one. It had been created long ago by a different member of the club. I will not argue that it is confusing fiction & non-fiction and how it has survived this long I am somewhat amazed.
As for this one, I can re-write it to eliminate the usage of first person without issue. As this is my first exerpience contributing to Wikipedia please advise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boblenon (talk • contribs) 03:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Robert C. Beck article and Blood electrification
[edit]MastCell has weighed in with a comment question to you about what Gov articles there are in support or even mention of Blood electrification.
If you could look at the article & talk page, perhaps you could be of assistance?
MastCell has also suggested deletion of my under development Robert C. Beck article that was AFD in June or so.
I am trimming the Dr. Bob Beck article now, and most of it is now gone.
If you have any suggestions for the Beck article, then feel free to reply here. Oldspammer (talk) 04:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- I added extensive comments to your list of Gov references provided in the AFD debate. The comments should explain some of the political happenings of the AFD situation.
- One fellow there has more or less discounted completely that the method of action of BE could possibly be that of electroporation (even a very weakened form of it). He accused me several times so far of being deceptive because of mentioning of electroporation in the article in the first place, and of using Pub-Med sourced information that he had opinioned as having only slightly to do with the BE article topic, but that you and I have associated with pathogen destruction in liquids--the dental scientist work with oral bacteria in-vitro and plaque in-vivo.

You want to discuss this [6] rationally so you start off by calling me a dick? The only venom here is coming from you Sir. I merely explained a cultural reference, which you didn't understand, found sources which you couldn't because you clearly don't know how to do a Google search properly [7] and agreed with everyone else that your nomination of John Clare's most famous poem for AfD was flawed. If I were in your situation I'd acknowledge the fact that I'd been mistaken, thank everyone for their input and withdraw the nomination gracefully. If that's being a 'dick' then so be it. Anything else I can help you with? I'll pop this conversation on your talk page, just in case you miss it or want to call me anything else. Nick mallory (talk) 23:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: AFD
[edit]Corvus, you're correct, I didn't handle that correctly. I've just been getting irritated at seeing articles nominated minutes after creation. I struck the comment. Replied on the users talk page. I didn't agree that i disagree with the sentiments expressed, but the way they they were expresses was not the correct way. Hope it's acceptable. Thanks.--Cube lurker (talk) 00:17, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, I added a new comment suggesting that the article be given a moment to grow. It's the last comment i'll make on the afd page. Hope it's in bounds. I'll live with consensus however it proceeds. Let me know if that one is some how out of process.--Cube lurker (talk) 00:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'll take a look, I'll be honest, I don't have a personal attachment to the article, But more a personal reaction to what I see as continued poor practice on AFD. Almost like it's a prize to be the first to nominate an article instead on carefully considering, does the inclusion of this article help or hurt WP.--Cube lurker (talk) 00:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Guess it's a bit of a catch 22. I see where you're coming from. I'm a bit of a longtime lurker short-time editor and AFD's probably the area i've spent the most time reading.

I noted your remark on his talk page about the number of his hoaxes and why should anyone accept any of his edits, etc. I considered blocking him permanently after yesterday's brouhaha, but thought that he would just come back under another account name and create more subtle hoaxes that are tough to detect. So, I've resolved to simply revert any of his edits until he gets tired of this and leaves us alone, and I guess you'll be helping with that judging by your comment... if you have a plan that you prefer, though, I'm all for it; just let me know. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I'd indefinitely block him in a New York minute if I thought it would be the last of his shenanigans. But I think I'd rather have him using an account that I know about rather than one I don't... his hoax pages are VERY subtle. There's a pattern to the type of hoax he perpetrates and I will be keeping an eye open for the names he's tried to bring to false prominence in the past. Too bad he can't bring his skills to contributing rather than vandalizing. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I think your plan of just reverting everything he contributes is a good one, and I'll join in with you whenever I'm on-line -- I've made a note to check everything he does every day from now on and just revert him on sight. Thanks for your cooperation and assistance, it is appreciated. <sigh> Again, what a pity he can't bring those skills to good use here. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Recall
[edit]If you have an alternate mechanism, let me know of that idea. The converse is that refusal to be recall may be interpreted as refusal to be accountable. If your suggestion for an alternate method is better, I'll sign on to it.
This is your chance to be heard and make a difference. If you have a good idea, I'm ready to be convinced and then you will have doubled the size of your army for change! I might even make it part of my RFA. Archtransit (talk) 21:57, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
One-man campaign you wrote. Why not double the size of your air force or army to two? Brainstorm some ideas with me or others. Some of them will be goofy. Even if only one is sane, that could be the key to improving the situation. You may have a good idea but just haven't described it yet. Perhaps a list of "Actions Admins should usually not do"?
You have opposed other RFA for the same reason. Did any of them engage in a discussion with you? (No, I'm the only one) This could be your chance to improve the recall idea. Archtransit (talk) 22:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- You might to take a look at what User:Lar has been doing in this area. Seems like a reasonable compromise? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 22:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what your concerns are but one edit suggests that you don't like the drama of a recall nor do you like the fact that a few vandals could force a recall. I assume that you support good behaviour by administrators and are opposed to bad behaviour. If this summary is accurate, we already have a beginning of a consensus. With a tiny bit of common ground, there is progress to be made! Let me know if you agree and we can proceed from there.
- One possibility is to have dual systems for recall. Some products are UL listed (see Underwriters Laboratories ), while others have the Instituto Argentino de Normalización y Certificación (IRAM) seal. Look at your computer. It may have both. Again, the idea is just brainstorming. Archtransit (talk) 00:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- When one brainstorms, some ideas turn out to be not good ideas. However, not being shy in mentioning ideas sometimes brings out a good idea. Brainstorming for an alternative to AOR, I thought of some ideas.
- How about agreeing to censure for bad behaviour? The criteria for receiving a censure could be similar to recall (or it could be different).
- Another idea is having a AOR with standard conditions. A working name could be AOR(Cornix convention). If several people work with you to agree on conditions, some admin may agree to be bound by them. If perhaps 20 admin could agree to them, then that may be a critical mass to establish a AOR(CC), much as there is UL listing and/or IRAM seals on some electronics.
- Yet another idea is to write a list of behaviors that admin must follow if they agree to join. A working name could be Cornix rules (2008 version). Having a named set of rules is not egotistical. See Robert's Rules of Order. The name could also be changed.
- Your concerns over drama of recall may fall to deaf ears if simply limited to oppose votes in RFAs. What do you think are ways to reduce drama but have some accountibility among admins? Archtransit (talk) 21:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Standards? Which one are you talking about. Standards for a recall alternative? Or standards for behaviour?
- If it is standards for behaviour, it's easy to start out brainstorming (note: these are brainstorming ideas, some will be wacky). Blocking in an article where the admin is also editing content; admin presenting false information to RFC/ANI/ArbCom; gross incivility; admin is convicted of murder; admin repeatedly violated BLP despite warning. Archtransit (talk) 21:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- What you said is a start. Wording it in fancy language is not necessary, especially in a draft. Keep these ideas coming. In CAT:AOR there are as many standards as admins. Why not develop Cornix standards? These could be renamed later or just called Cornix standards. It would be a bonus for RFA candidates to say "I'll sign up for AOR and use the AOR Cornix stnadards, not just the drama prone AOR" Archtransit (talk) 21:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- One of your concerns mentioned was an administrator being targeted for recall by vandals. How about giving some sort of immunity from recall to administrators acting against vandalism? The details can be worked out, but is this a viable idea to address your concern? Archtransit (talk) 17:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- Have you considered changing your approach to RFA? Placing an oppose on all candidates who agree to recall probably won't change anything. It's like Kurt Weber's oppose comments for self-nomination RFA's. One idea which wouldn't benefit my RFA much (1 vote - yours) but could help you is to modify you oppose to a support in my RFA (assuming you support me and aren't anti-aircraft article writing editors). You could clearly say that you approve of RFA candidates who discuss the drama problem and work with you to improve the situation. Just a thought. Also, any of the brainstorming ideas above (immunity, list of bad behaviours for admins, standards, etc.) catch your imagination? Archtransit (talk) 16:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Let me know when you have some ideas. I'm not going to nag you. Archtransit (talk) 22:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Daniel Martin (Scholar) Article Deletion
[edit]Dear Corvus,
Let me preface this by saying I have no intention of writing an article about myself, I'll let someone else do that someday (if ever). I only want to suggest that we take a good look at what we mean when we say "IMPORTANT and "SIGNIFICANT".
I must adamantly make a case for the Daniel Martin (Scholar) article - not on my personal behalf, but on the behalf of anyone who has made acceptional academic achievements and has, as a result been recognized with a highly prestigous national award. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship, received by Daniel (myself) as a result of years of hard work and community leadership, is the most selective, lucrative transfer scholarship in the Western Hemisphere.
I believe it's a very poor reflection on our society when a junk filmmaker can crap out a movie about two guys getting stuck in the desert with a beautiful lesbian (see Never on Tuesday and get acknowledged on Wikipedia just because it was released by a studio - or another can be born into a wealthy family like my friend Brad Wyman (with all due respect), yet never achieve anything productive save 1 hit film about a mass murderer - see Monster. This reflects the same skewed value system that awards a top teacher with $30,000 a year while Julia Roberts can pump out a flop for $20 Million.
While I do understand that not just ANYONE can have a wikipedia article about them and their achievements, I do believe those who've been recognized with extraordinary awards by extraordinary people - see Jack Kent Cooke - should be recognized truthfully with the appropriate citations and proof. Jack Kent Cooke once said his legacy would be his scholars - and as the legacy of Mr. Cooke, I believe myself and other scholars should stand as societal role models and be recognized in the academic community for our achievements. I still believe, despite the cynical attitude of some, that Wikipedia is a real part of the academic and knowledge community.
Who are you to say that my achievement in not "IMPORTANT" or "SIGNIFICANT", yet Adam Rifkin's Never on Tuesday get's it's own entry - and for what???
I think this scholarship - and what it stands for - is pretty damn significant - and so did a multi-multi millionaire entrepreneur like Mr. Cooke, who owned the Redskins and the Lakers and the Chrysler Building, and so did the selection committee of dozens of top professors, politicians and nobel laureates who picked me and 24 other students out of over 25,000 potential candidates.
So I urge you, in your role as an admin, to permit and guide an article about a Jack Kent Cooke Scholar - not for me or the sake of individual ego, I'll leave off the writing of my own article and do one on a fellow scholar - but for the sake of honoring extraordinary *recognized* achievements that I hope can one day inspire people to be strong in character, discipline and hope - things that define a Jack Kent Cooke Scholar. We deserve to stand next to the Adam Rifkins and Brad Wymans of the world, and I believe we can.
There's a real world out there, with real heroes. Let's lift them up too.
Thank you, Daniel Martin

ANI
[edit]I have responded on ANI. It might have been courteous, though, to allow me time to respond to your initial query before taking it to ANI. I'm finding you diffs to justify my actions, which, as I explained on ANI are based on discussions that took place in the last couple months about that situation. My understanding was that we weren't blocking marginally inappropriate names with zero contributions. That's why the bots started telling us if there were contributions. - Philippe | Talk 07:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Revert of content blanking
[edit]I'm in a bit of an odd situation with the Svenonius article: Svenonius himself contacted me and made it clear that he was uncomfortable with the personal information being up there. The last thing I want to do is making someone I'm writing about uncomfortable, so I took the information out, despite it's encyclopedic worth. Hopefully you can understand the position I'm in. I'll avoid reverting your revert until further notice. Thanks. Drewcifer (talk) 01:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- WP:COIN would indeed be a good place to bring this situation, if I was interested in fighting it. Honestly, the last thing in the world I want to do here on Wikipedia is make anyone uncomfortable, and putting myself in his shoes I can completely empathize. Regardless of what "policy" says, sometimes you've gotta take a step back, you know? Me and Mr. Svenonius have come to a reasonable agreement, so I would really hate for this to somehow turn into a Me vs You kind of thing or even a "Let's leave it up to policy, regardless of what feelings are involved" kinda of thing. Drewcifer (talk) 01:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I realize what bringing the article to COIN would involve, but I don't want to "step away." I had an active hand in invading someone's privacy (if only perceived), and I would like to have an active hand in setting things right. Try and put yourself in my shoes. I've been around Wikipedia long enough (and I assume you have as well) to know what would result in brining the issue up to COIN: Mr. Svenonius has an obvious conflict of interest, his account should be watched, and his article should keep any encyclopedic, well-sourced content that it may have, regardless of his feelings. I would rather avoid that whole mess altogether and just take the content out myself. Honestly, given what he is notable for (as a musician), I don't think anyone is going to miss it.

Ronald Reagan filmography
[edit]Haha that was quick!

I agree that the things you added to the page did not constitute vandalism. Even so, there's no need to cite his date of death at every mention of his date of death. It really isn't a common feature amongst articles on other deceased actors/individuals. At the very least, your intentions - citing where the information came from - were good.Ultatri (talk) 00:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

AN/I Thread
[edit]Best to read the whole section... Nowhere did I suggest blocking someone who made death threats was pointless. Avruchtalk 00:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I said 'Blocks are preventative, not punishment' and he said 'Even for death threats?' and I said 'what would be the point of any punishment we can deliver?' and I stand by that question. The dude is blocked for a long period of time, and the IP is as well. The reason blocks aren't punitive is because there is no point - its a pretty weak form of punishment, wouldn't you say? I didn't argue that it shouldn't be reported to Mike Godwin, or that he shouldn't be blocked. Just that punishment per se is pointless. You may not agree, but you should at least consider that I wouldn't argue that blocking someone who made death threats is pointless in and of itself. Next time, before you express disbelief, anyway - particularly if you are going to include it in the irreversible edit summary that everyone sees on a watchlist.

Austin State Creek Recreation Area
[edit]UserRickK seems to have got fed up and left Wikipedia back in 2005, so it was brainless of me to leave a message on his talk page -- my bad. On the other hand, I notice that the footer on the parks.ca.gov page says "Copyright © 2007 State of California" so I wonder why UserRickK thought it was in the public domain. Do you think it is? Stepheng3 (talk) 04:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- From what I've heard, works created by agencies of the U.S. Federal Government are public domain, but content produced by U.S. states can be copyrighted. I'm not a lawyer, though, so do your own due diligence.
- Since UserRickK was clear on the talk page about where s/he got the material, I should've called it infringement, not plagiarism. But since I've reworded the article (and UserRickK is obviously not coming back) this seems like water under the bridge. Stepheng3 (talk) 05:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

AN post
[edit]I'm with you in principle, as I am constantly and viciously attacked and stalked on that site. However, in this instance my purpose was to show the behavior of an editor we are thinking of importing from Wikipedia Review.

Callelinea has re-added his bogus references to Dexter Lehtinen. Corvus cornixtalk 07:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- Now that they're in-line, we can match news pieces to article claims. If you still think they're bogus (i.e. that they don't support the claims in the article) the onus is really not on Callelinea to show that they're not, but on a concerned editor who has access to the relevant newspapers. Of course that's why we prefer online sources, using {{cite web}}. Prefer but not require. Remember to assume good faith. Dethme0w (talk) 07:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
I am having a slight problem understanding your complaint regarding the names of the 13 officers that died in the line of duty. They are not the subject of biographies. It is not a complete list of every officer that ever worked for the NYCTPD, just 13. It does not seem to violate the spirit of WP:BIO. You also could have discussed the subject on the discussion page or my talk page before removing my content. SGT141 (talk) 06:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
That was the point I made above. There have been thousands of officers in the NYCTPD. I listed 13. That isn't "every teacher at a school, every policeman working in the NYPD". Would you please explain where there is some rule that states you cannot mention someone in an article unless they qualify for a stand alone article? SGT141 (talk) 06:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
There is nothing in the article which references any of the notability claims you make in your edit summary. Therefore, the article, on its face, is a speedy deletion candidate. If you want to add those refs, then please do so, otherwise, it should be deleted. Corvus cornixtalk 06:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- The article is unlikely to be speedied, because it does assert notability by its claim (which a quick googling verified) that the band is signed to a major label (EMI). See the info box in the article. If I were an admin, I'd decline the speedy. I do agree that the creator of the article needs to enunciate the band's notability better and I was just thinking up a non-bitey way to get that message across when you placed the above. Dethme0w (talk) 06:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have tagged the article {{unsourced}} because you're right about one thing - it needs references. Dethme0w (talk) 06:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with you two, but it takes a few minutes at least to cite the references, which soonly will be added to the article. Rockk3r (talk) 07:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Corvus are you an admin?? I said i'd put the references and sources but you didn't care about that, you just deleted the article. Skizoo it's an important band in Spain and it's gaining a lot of fans with every work they release. They are signed to EMI (Thats very important). Even Dethme0w told you about their importance and he put the {{unsourced}} on the article, but didn't just deleted it. If you could please help me create that page and fix it the right way instead of deleting it I would aprecciate it. Rockk3r (talk) 12:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I meant no insult
[edit]I am so sorry I offended you. Sadly, "copyright paranoia" is what the term has come to be called, and I in no way meant it to reflect on you. In fact, the reason I didn't indent my reply to Carnildo is that I didn't want to offend him or her.
I, for one, am fed up with some of the extreme terms in wiki culture, like "don't be a dick," "edit war," etc. Please forgive my not making it more clear that my comment was not about you, but in reference to the fact that states have never tried to assert copyright.

Vandalism by User:Reino Helismaa in the article Siege of Leningrad
[edit]Hi, Corvus cornix,
Sourced edits were deleted several times by User:Reino Helismaa, who disregarded the references, and also disregarded the inuse template. Same actions by the same user in this article were reversed by admins in the past, albeit the user does not stop. The user asked me to use Russian in communication with him, because the User:Reino Helismaa does not understand English (see the user page). Warnings to stop using Russian in English Wikipedia were ignored by this user.
Another edits with substantial Russian text in the English article were made by User:Mrg3105. This user also deleted well sourced material from the article Siege of Leningrad in the recent weeks. The latest disruptive activity by this user was today; the user disregarded my work and inuse template, and added numerous edits with Russian text and links to article that do not exist in Wikipedia. The user does not show any respect to work in progress.
Such disruptive activity by this two users did not help to contribute to the main article in a more productive way. Much of my time was wasted on undoing the damage done to the article. User:Mrg3105 posted numerous conflicting and aggressive messages addressed to me, including such terms as "insane" in quite a counterproductive manner.
Thank you for your previous efforts to improve this environment and to make it conducive for productive editing, to make Wikipedia better.

KColorEdit
[edit]KColorEdit is a part of extragear package software, although extragear don't have the same schedule release of KDE package it a important piece of the KDE project. This little application is a utility to create and edit palettes (it works with KDE palettes and GNOME too), there's not a similar software in KDE, so many people use it with GIMP and other utility like Krita to edit and create their own images, I think this application could be help this people, that's why I had to work on this article.
Also, Could you notify me about another KDE tool that can manage this kind of topics KDE and Colors?
Please don't underestimate this tool, all the software have their own complexity and function, not because isn't a famous name means that isn't a help.

2007 Jaden & Crans
[edit]--Asteroid Finder (talk) 07:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC) Excuse me,I don't see how you can tell me that Jaden doesn't exist. If you can't look through a telescope and tell me that that body isn't there than your claim that this is a hoax is voided and unprovable.
The fact is that I could look up into the sky at any point in time and give you the exact location of that asteroid. Any time after February 25th is obviously not possible. The image I put on those is like I stated a picture of Jaden and Crans, after being enhanced and cleared by a picture buisness in the Klock Tower Mall here in Kellogg.
I also know for a fact that the object is infact an Asteroid for a Science Professor who viewed my photos of Jaden awknoledged what I found. The professor has contacted NASA for me but has yet to inform me of a response. So until you or anyone else can prove that this space object is not in our night sky you have no right to call or report it as a hoax.
When you can prove that my Asteroid and it's moon are not there... Then, and ONLY then can you say that it's a hoax.

4.14 What happened to free, open content encyclopedia, Wikipedia?
[edit]Please help me to understand. I wrote the article about Leo J Meyer. I had (have) no intention of creating a shrine to him on a Webpage. I felt his history might be of interest to someone and I have not been wrong as some of your fellow administrators have indicated interest. But based on your comments "...provide reliable sources and verifiable claims of notability, then you can..." How did you or do you verify the claims in the article about Robert L. Howard. And I know them to be true because I have served under him. But please explain how you would verify the claims. That way I might also be able to provide the ability to verify.

I saw your comment at ANI. I'm don't do much with movies so I have no idea what is a relilable source but I did find The Hollywood Reporter if it's any use to you. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 15:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

For you my friend, a resilient editor who puts up with a lot of crap during your vandal-fighting efforts. They try and get you down, but I have seen how they never can! Keep up the fantastic work! Jmlk17 22:52, 2 February 2008 (UTC) |
Logo fair usage
[edit]- On Wilmington Montessori School I am trying to properly upload the school's logo. I am the school's webmaster and I am working on behalf of the school to provide additional articles for the school. I would like to have an entry similar to another area school, Tatnall School and would like to have the WMS school logo displayed in the info box. I have read some of the fair use policies, but am still unsure which would correctly apply. Any help in following the correct policies and procedures regarding this image and logo usage would be much appreciated. Daddy.twins (talk) 22:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
