Sorry, I hadn't looked through the entire thing, I skimmed through it, saw that comment, and thought that you were bashing on gays, which I find very crude, unrespectful, and not needed on Wiki. Appologies! Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 01:42, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:Deletion of copyvios

[edit]

You're absolutely right about that. I did enter the specific reason for deletion, though, but the content of pages always appears in the log as an additional reason unless I manually remove it. I never thought of it as a problem, since at worst only a sentence can be visible though the deletion log. Carelessness on my part. Will definitely take note in the future.

re Hermine de Saussure Deletion

[edit]

Hello if you want relevance reference on Hermine de Saussure

see Ella Maillart's biograpy on: http://www.olympic.org/uk/passion/museum/temporary/exhibition_uk.asp?type=0&id=28

Apart from being a woman pioneer sailer Hermine de Saussure was a scholar and wrote books on philopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. try google. I'm still working on the article.

I hope it helps with relevance.

Image request

[edit]

Yes, I can create an image for the article you requested. Are there any specific elements you would like to portray with the image? --SeedFeeder (talk) 17:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image has been created an uploaded to Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikibukkake.png . If it meets with your approval, go ahead and add it to the main article. --SeedFeeder (talk) 20:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I received your new image requests and I have no problem with creating them. I'm going to tackle the anal-oral sex one first, as the current image is in needed of improvement. My only issue with the pearl necklace image is that the article,as it stands now, has been pruned down to nothing (six sentences long). --SeedFeeder (talk) 19:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll still go ahead and create an image. In the very real eventuality that the current image is removed again, we'll have a replacement all ready to go. And like you mentioned on the pearl necklace talk page, there can be no excuses of copyright violation, age, consent, or ownership issues with my work. --SeedFeeder (talk) 08:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image for the Anal-oral sex article is complete: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki-analoral.png . Again, if it's what you had in mind, add it to the article. I am working on an alternate image, that more accurately depicts the act itself, but this will have to do for now. --SeedFeeder (talk) 08:31, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks for the kind words, and the barnstar!. Let me know if you have any more requests. --SeedFeeder (talk) 19:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New request

[edit]

I can give it a shot. To be honest the subject is well outside of my "sphere of personal experience" so I can make no guarantees about authenticity of the finished product. But you are correct, the article's image could stand with an upgrade. --SeedFeeder (talk) 08:24, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK I finished the image you requested for the Pegging (sexual practice) article. It can be found at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki-pegging.png Like I said before... this being out my realm of experience, I just had to go with a more jazzed up version of the existing picture. Sorry for the delay, but I got sidetracked. --SeedFeeder (talk) 03:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't remove it 'AGAIN' because the revised version was different, re-written and included 5 new carefully researched references one of which was a posting on the official Royworld forum from one of the members of the band in question.

I'm sorry - I should have checked the quote more carefully - I was copying it to show exactly what has been said about the kid's contacts with the media. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please try to be careful about your edit summaries -- The log says: "Talk:Star Wars Kid ‎ (→Formal notice: dammit - stop putting the real name on the talk page!)" - First, what I did is a mistake, and that was the first time I participated in this talk page, so it wasn't like I did this over and over again. Second, Help:Edit summary says "Proper use of edit summaries is critical to resolving content disputes. Edit summaries should accurately and succinctly summarize the nature of the edit, especially if it could be controversial." - Therefore a better edit summary would be "redacting one instance of the real family name" WhisperToMe (talk) 16:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

8-Ball (Marvel Comics) image

[edit]

While the article can use an image, the one you uploaded today has been previously deleted as it was taken from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (deluxe or loose leaf edition). Images from that and like publications cannot be used since such a use in Wikipedia is identical to the use for where it was cribbed. (see WP:NFCC#2 for the policy)

Twenty Five Years of Dr. Feelgood

[edit]

I noticed your recent edit adding the {tone} tag and I would agree with you. However, as the original author of the article, can I point out that all text was externally and reliably sourced. A counterpoint to the source I used would be good, and indeed welcomed. Actually, if you read the whole of the Allmusic article, you would see I used a large amount of NPOV editing to get to where it is. Best wishes,

Better watch this guy

[edit]

I never got around to thanking you for your help on Category:United States Army awards. Thanks for fixing it; I do want to offer a warning about the person you spoke to...I've watched this individual for quite a while and I think he bears watching. Most of the problems come from copying and pasting text directly from other webapges (and then calling them original articles) or just flat out ignoring Wikipedia policies. I bring this to your attention since the guy flat out lied to you. In response to your directions about that category page, the response was "I don't think I started that set of entries - I just worked on cleaning it up and adding links". Yet...as we can see [1] the evidence is very clear. Now, I hate to point and say "Bad person! Bad person!" (I myself have been a bad person once or twice) but this guy just bears watching. Anyway, thanks again. -OberRanks (talk) 07:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gimmetrow and AN/I

[edit]

Hi. Please see my latest post at User talk:Gimmetrow#RE: Edit warring over project banner. I really hope we can nip this in the bud before it turns into something it doesn't need to be. AN/I is seldom the best place for this kind of thing, and based on past experience I find it highly unlikely that administrator intervention will come into play on either side. As Giro has said, Gimmetrow has a good record, and this incident has now been logged for all to see should it need to be referenced in the future. It would go some way if we can suck it up and say the necessary words to avoid further drama. If Gimmetrow can do the same, then this could all go away in a more-or-less amicable fashion. All the best, Steve T • C 21:35, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Multisourcing

[edit]

You're right. The article is more like a dictionary definition right now. But that is because it has just been created. I believe there will be plenty of encyclopedic material in that article. I don't think it should be moved to Wiktionary right away. It might also not be appropriate to move it to Wiktionary because Multisourcing is a new concept and cannot be found in any dictionary. --Emre Kenci (talk) 13:56, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

If you have "tons of evidence" then you need to add those sources to the article. Production has only just started, tv series generally become notable A - when they are actually broadcast or B - when reliable sources document the upcoming series. Read our reliable sources, notability and verifiability policies. If you can demonstrate this article meets those criteria it can be kept. At the moment it looks like you're attempting to use wikipedia as advertising for this just commissioned series. If you can't meet those criteria, come back when you can and we'll be glad to have an article. At the moment we only have your word this series even exists - it's entirely possible it could be delayed, cancelled, renamed, suspended etc before it ever becomes a reality.

I'm not familiar enough with wikipedia to do much about it but if someone out there could please contact this person and make them understand that it's not right to publish unconfirmed rumors about an olympian who deserves more respect regarding his private life and career details, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm new to Wikipedia, but I've noticed that the Alexei Yagudin page has been constantly changed by different people lately who are not stating where they get their information, and reporting on things that have NOT been confirmed by him. It all began with rumors of him getting married and having twins with some woman, neither of which has been confirmed by either of them, and has only been reported in a single russian tabloid known for making things up. Therefore, someone did take that information off of his page since it is based on uncredible gossip and not fact. Then this person got angry and began posting even more rediculous claims. I am glad that Exxolon cleaned the mess up, but it appears that the person who was doing it has simply changed their login information to Clgilray. Even though I have erased their latest edit and returned the site back to the way it was after Exxolon last edited it, I'm afraid this person is simply going to do it again. Could you please tell this person to stop doing this and leave his page alone with the correct public information instead of rummors.

Continuation of our discussion on WP:ANI

[edit]

I'm copying this from ANI and posting my reply to your comment here because I don't feel a resolved section on ANI is the best place to hold a discussion on philosophical differences as regards consensus on Wikipedia. Please reply here to keep everything in one place from here on out.

Appeals to Jimbo are, in my opinion, an end-run around community consensus. Admins are entrusted to determine consensus. If no admin was willing to block Bishonen, it was because none of them saw consensus to do so. Getting an answer you don't like from the community and running to Jimbo is the very model of "running to the other parent" behavior, and the fact that it so often breeds the desired results is a travesty in my opinion. The community should be handling it's own problems; after this many years we should not need Jimbo to do this anymore.--Dycedarg ж 03:44, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we have a different definition of community. From my point of view (and many others I suspect) there was a consensus amongst ordinary editors that something needed to be done. (Block - my view, an "official" warning perhaps, etc - but something) and a failure of any other admin to apply the rules to one of their own and a lot of "let it go", "archive it since nothing will happen" "no-one will block another admin for this" kind of responses to the issue. Since the community of ordinary editors lacks, for better or worse, any real ability to deal with out of line admins (ARBCOM while great at dealing with ongoing and problematic long term issues is simply not set up to deal with this kind of thing) our only recourse is Jimbo - in effect he is our final safeguard against abuses of power by those that have had power invested in them. I stand by my decision to ask his opinion. Exxolon (talk) 04:00, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Administrators qualify as ordinary editors, because that's what they are. Their extra buttons are of no consequence when it comes to their roles in discussions. In a rough count of those who participated in that thread, I got three people who stated that they wanted Bishonen blocked for that action. Out of at least a dozen people who commented. That's hardly consensus. Furthermore, the block was in direct violation of at least two points of the blocking policy (no cool down blocks, and I can't see how blocking an editor who hasn't edited in 20 minutes and was probably asleep for three hours counts as preventative as opposed to punitive), which represents the consensus of the community of the whole. Furthermore, multiple people gave reasons as to why a block was unjustified that had nothing to do with Bishonen's administrator status. So, no, there was no consensus on any level for the block, and not everyone who objected to the block did so because she's an administrator. You'll note that even a member of ARBCOM, which is supposed to consist of administrators most trusted to be impartial and fair in their dealings with other editors and who are responsible for routinely dealing out penalties to editors (including admins), commented on the situation on Bishonen's talk page and did not feel it was necessary to block anyone, so your apparent belief that all the administrators involved were the sort who lack the balls to block other admins is unjustified. The block was outside the bounds of both policy and consensus, and the only reason Jimbo will get away with it is because he's Jimbo. It's bad enough that we have someone who can arbitrarily impose their view of what's right on the community in the face of consensus, that some people ask him to do so is worse.--Dycedarg ж 04:51, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If the admins who saw this thought this wasn't a blockworthy offence, then to be blunt, they shouldn't be admins. We shouldn't tolerate this kind of abusive language from any editor towards another, and an admin is or should be held to a higher standard and should know better in any case. If we've gotten to the point where we tolerate insults like "you little shit" then the problem is not my actions, but our tolerance of this kind of corrosive behaviour. You say that Bishonen's admin status was irrelevant, but I cannot see how if I was to revert an admin edit with a similar summary I would escape being blocked, indeed I would expect to be. Jimbo's role here is important, it's akin to a constitutional monarch, power that hopefully will not be required often but should be available if necessary. He correctly (in my opinion) drew a line in the sand saying "this is not acceptable". As to your suggestion that I'm worse for actually requesting his input - sorry I don't buy that. He's here. I drew his attention to what I thought was a serious issue and he decided to act. He didn't have to and I'm not going to apologise for doing what I felt to be the right thing in bringing a serious issue to his attention. If you want his executive power removed then there are avenues to do that, but to say "don't talk to Jimbo" is not acceptable. I like the fact that if the bureacracy fails we still have a benevelont monarch in effect who will look out for our interests and will ignore the letter of the rules if required. Exxolon (talk) 22:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Another way of looking at it: the Giano/Bishonen axis has proved so toxic (and I don't mean that as a slight against them personally, only an empirical observation of the history) to any administrator intervention, that it requires a death wish to get involved. Jimbo is perhaps the only person who could make this block without it resulting in a downward spiral of drama. Whether Jimbo's choice of action was a good one is certainly open to debate, but since the admin corps is so fundamentally and ideologically divided on the subject, and ArbCom has shown itself toothless in dealing with this particular clique of editors, who else is left? Rockpocket 07:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I haven't been monitoring the Giano aspect. I only jumped in to the Bishonen/Daedlus dispute. To be honest the whole situation could've been avoided by Bishonen simply reverting the edit and saying something to the effect of "Edit reverted - only the user themselves can add this template to their page." If the action was repeated he could've warned for disruption then blocked if necessary. That would've been the correct response. Exxolon (talk) 22:32, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new to Wikipedia, so I don't know where to post my comments and sorry if this is the wrong place. Anyway, I need help with a continuing situation thats occuring on the Alexei Yagudin page. A person going by the title of gilray (they were going by just their IP address before adopting this title) continues to post unconfirmed and unsourced things about this olympic gold medalist and I feel this olmpian deserves more respect in regard to his private life and the details of his career. In particular, tabloid rumors with no verification should clearly not be posted as fact about anyone much less someone like this. I have tryed to edit out the unconfirmed trash several times and the unsourced junk, but this person is relentless to keep trashing up this page. I saw that Exxolon has already repaired this page once in the past month, but this person keeps messing it up and I don't know how to contact the person to tell them they need to stop. If either Exxolon or someone else with more experience could please contact this person or do something about this issue, I'd really appreciate it. ~~Rodneyerickson

link to a specific Mathematics entry. Regards, (talk)Bci2Nu 00:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I'm hardly an expert, just a person who did a bit as a student and hadn't come across the Butcher group the other guys being experienced academics and professors but I did come acrooss and write about things that are in the general sphere of things like Quasi-Hopf algebra and Vertex model, in which the studies of Hopf algebras and the like are used to solve lattice models that describe solids, like ice, for instance. Nevertheless the additions that AKNole made by cutting and pasting from the Butcher group stuff about pure maths about graph theory/combinatorics into the Minimal subtraction scheme, which is about doing calculations on particle physics. He copied something apparently about an alternative technique on trees in graph theory instead of using Feynman diagrams, which is an orthodox tool in theoretical physics, into an article about renormalization calculations in physics, which is done in the Feynman way. I don't know/understand if this stuff that he added, which is predated by the MSS is consistent with it, but it's certainly not right to just whack it in like that unless he can explain why it's related (if it is), especially as there was a debate about making things more accessible, as the addition would only confuse people; the vast majority of people who do QFT (which I have taken a course in, although I wouldn't say that I understood it irrespective of the grade I got) and renormalisation calculations including tenured academics at QFT/QCD institutes do not deal with anything beyond the basics of Lie algebra, let alone highly detailed quantum or Hopf algebras. Also his comments on the talk page seem a bit odd in focusing on rather unusual things, and his comments in the first parts show a lack of conviction about some 2nd year maths, while things like Hopf algebras would hardly be taught in 4th year unless a student decided to do a project on it. I don't know about the history to know if there is a motive for deliberate stalking or trolling. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 02:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/House of Brothers

[edit]

I close a lot of relisted debates the same way I closed this one but because of our recent interaction on the King Mondo DRV I think I owe you an explanation as to why I closed it the way I did.

I relist a lot of AFDs and I use to relist some twice but when AFD went to a 7 day cycle I realized that a second relist meant an AFD would be opened for half a month. Therefore, if a debate has no "delete" !votes I close it "no consensus with leave to speedy renominate" and let the nominator or someone else decide if he wishes to discuss it for another 7 days. In the case of this AFD, I thought the 2 "keep" !votes were rather weak but nobody but you was saying "delete". Therefore, if you wish I'll reverse my close and relist it again but I think you would have better luck with a fresh nomination. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:11, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We can get to the NLT matter later, what I would like to know is what is really bothering you? Surely a couple of linked knowledge items, in itself shouldn't be anything to get worked up about.

It's black, not that that's relevant. The reason I'm having an issue with your edits is that you are making implications about both the Original Poster (OP) of the question and myself. You gave a response which linked to Stalking - there was nothing in his post to suggest that, he was requesting help in contacting this person to find out more about him and his music and for business purposes - there is nothing sinister about that. Your link was inappropiate. You then linked to the 'Conspiriacy' and 'Aiding and Abetting' articles when responding to me, again with the implication of this time potentially illegal behaviour on my part - inappropiate links again. I find that the entire thread would have worked without any of your input. "I want help locating this guy" - "His names actually spelled like this, here's a business networking site profile that may help" thread would've been much better. Implying with those links that the OP/myself were guilty of questionalble acts makes it hard to assume good faith here. You and I also seem to have wildly variant ideas on what the NLT policy means. I'm pretty certain you are violating the spirit, if not the letter, of the policy. Exxolon (talk) 14:07, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Black, wow, that says alot. Not in a psychological way, but just in that it is the absence of ANY color... Anyways we do have a commonality in that we both have a favorite color, and that is good! Now if we remove ourselves from the subject thread and look at things from the larger perspective we can see that the links I provided were not threats or accusations. The links were provided as a caution. Well, I hope we have that settled now. It was nice to talk with you in a productive manner.

InterPals

[edit]

Thanks for the warning about InterPals. I've added a few more sources that I've found, but I'm not sure that there are many reliable sources out there (most of what I'm finding are simply blog posts). Anyway, it seems like the site is growing pretty fast, so it's probably not a huge issue if the article is deleted -- more sources will surface in the future, and someone else will write an article.

You are now a Reviewer

[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Annie's Song

[edit]

I removed the image (as I did from the other singles: "Rocky Mountain High," "Sunshine on My Shoulders") because they are not the image covers for the singles, but for CD covers from the album covers of a collection released in the late 90s/early 2000s. Thus, they should not be placed in an infobox regarding the song.--Emgee1129 (talk) 03:55, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are just as familiar with our civility policy as I am, so I won't complain about the tone of your recent edit-summary – but I do have to take you to task on the content. Not only was the image deleted by a community consensus (meaning that it's not solely my responsibility to deal with it), but I was on holiday, something that many British people do during the summer months. I'm sorry if this offends you.

I should also point out that there is a bot account whose sole purpose is to remove deleted images from articles, so your vaguely unpleasant remark was unjustified on three counts. Quite an accomplishment. ╟─TreasuryTag►Lord Speaker─╢ 19:01, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
