Miami at Good Article Reassessment

I just replied to your call for reassessment of Miami's GA status. As I said there, GAR is only supposed to be used for articles where GA status is in dispute—any editor that feels an article doesn't meet the GA criteria can go ahead a delist it, in the same way that anyone can review a nominated article. Don't worry, though, the instructions around the GA system have suffered tremendously from creep over the past few years; we're trying to pare them down, but it's a slow process.--jwandersTalk 01:25, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize articles on Wikipedia. You apparently do not know what an actual award is. You apparently do not know that all information added was encyclopedic, and falsehoods were removed. Thank you.A fine point (talk) 03:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

FYI, A fine point (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is a sock-puppet for long-time wikipedia nuisance and permanently banned TyrusThomas4lyf (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/TyrusThomas4lyf for some background history. I've been letting his latest sock-puppetry escapade slide this time around, just to see whether his behavior's evolved into something tolerable. But if he reverts to his old self (as I suspect he will), let me know and I'll see what can be done. — Myasuda (talk) 04:44, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

If you feel that User:A fine point's edits cross the line of civility, I would suggest notifying admins User talk:Kafziel or User talk:Daniel Case. Until he's blocked, there's not much point in engaging in what promises to be an edit war. That is, unless you want to bait him to strengthen your case. Anyhow, User talk:Kafziel has received some complaints about User:A fine point already . . . and the more he receives, the more likely he'll be to act. — Myasuda (talk) 02:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:GRivers.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GRivers.jpg. 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) 19:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Tyrone Wheatley edits

I removed and moved what I felt was redundant information. I can see what you were trying to do, but it's unnecessary. In essence, you were creating two lede sections, one inside the other. I basically took the information from that first paragraph and incorporated it -- in chronological order -- into the relevant paragraphs. I can understand what you originally had the lede that way, but I feel that it was redundant, confusing, and unnecessary. If you feel the need, you're more than welcome to revert it. JKBrooks85 (talk) 23:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I just don't think you need to -- by repeating the stages of his life, you're limiting the amount of information the lede can cover before it gets too long. Could you give me some examples of other biographies that do a short synopsis in the lede paragraph? That'd give me a better idea of what you're thinking about. JKBrooks85 (talk) 23:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I think I see what you're shooting for. I'm at work right now, but I'll make some changes to it when I get the chance. I'm not as experienced with biography articles, but I think I see what you've got in mind. JKBrooks85 (talk) 23:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Looks pretty good now. I didn't change very much from what you moved back. Mostly just little grammar things and I created a stub to explain ballcarrier for the non-football folks out there. If there's still something you've got a problem with, let me know. On another note, could you explain Penn Park a bit -- is it an area, an actual park, or just the name of the team. JKBrooks85 (talk) 08:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't see it. From the examples you gave, the first paragraph always appears to be a statement of the person's notability and why they were important. That's what's there now. JKBrooks85 (talk) 20:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I've added a bit more. JKBrooks85 (talk) 01:41, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! It's got to feel great to get that article to FA status after such a long debate. Awesome work on sticking to it — especially when I had thought that I was caught up to you in FAs. :) JKBrooks85 (talk) 05:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: DYK

I don't think there are hard and fast rules about what is suitable for DYK, though some differences from the overall encyclopedia notability standards are apparent; for example, there seems to be consensus to avoid more commercial articles. However, I was referring to my personal criteria for selecting hooks for the update page, not to any general rule. If some other editor cares to select the article I won't object. Sorry if that wasn't clear from the edit summary -- it's hard to explain in such a short space. Espresso Addict (talk) 15:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I think that when an article drops down into expired without any overwhelming objection being raised, it means that the subject lacks interest to those who edit at DYK and therefore most likely to the main page readers. Also, I don't think linking hooks is necessarily a positive (unless they can be combined, which is not the case here), as we're going for variety and US bias is one of the perennial complaints about the DYK section. Perhaps someone else will pick it up. Espresso Addict (talk) 16:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

G. David Schine

I'm happy to have you participate in the discussion on this article, but I wish you had waited to read my response to your comments before you reverted me. I've asked for page-protection on the article, but if the article is frozen in the version that user RAN wants, he isn't likely to participate in any further discussion. He is enormously reluctant to discuss any of his edits, and rarely talks sense when he does discuss. If, after more-thorough discussion, you still agree with his edits and disagree with mine, then I'll drop the issue and remove the article from my watch list. But let's try to have a real discussion. RedSpruce (talk) 18:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Actually that is the tactic RedSpruce has been using. He reverts everything I add to an article, then ask for it to be protected.
  • Just look how much information was deleted by RedSpruce in his last reversion of my edits, back to his last version here at Annie Lee Moss. He reverted over a dozen individual edits, including information on her birth, her parents, her husband, and her death date.

TTT, I feel that this remark was inappropriate, given your lack of background knowledge of the situation. RedSpruce (talk) 19:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Its a shame that almost all of the newspapers don't have deals to be indexed by Google News archive.

They were getting $5M from subscriptions to the archive. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 13:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Building/Structure

Trump Tower Chicago would still be a structure, as although some floors are occupied, it is still not a continually habitable building. And thank you for the LOTD reminder; the 20th came sooner than I expected :) Cheers, Rai-me 22:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I will expand on my previous post, as I forgot to talk about topping out. "Continually habitable" means that the building consists of completed, habitable floors from ground level to top floor. The Trump Tower is habitable until the 52nd floor, but construction is still taking place above that, and the building isn't topped out, so it would still be a structure (once it is topped out with its spire, it will become a "building" - this seems strange, as the CTBUH has defined a building as a structure consisting of continually habitable floors, and topped out buildings are not usually completely habitable, but nevertheless this is the standard for determining when an under construction structure becomes a building). This is the reason why the Burj Dubai, although exteriorly complete on its lower levels, will not become an official "building" and take the title of world's tallest building until it is topped out. Sorry if this confusing - basically, a building is defined as a structure consisting of habitable, structurally complete floors from ground level to the roof of the highest floor (this criterion prevents the CN Tower, for exmaple, from being considered a building), but a building actually becomes an "official" building for the first time when it is topped out. Although these two criteria seem contradictory, this is the standard. But anyway, the Trump Tower is neither topped out nor completely habitable, so it would not be a building. It will be defined as an "official" building for the first time in late 2008, when the spire is added. Let me know if you need any more clarification. Cheers, Rai-me 01:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Annie_Lee_Moss, want to comment. During her testimony, Moss stated that there were other Moss' in Washington. In a footnote, I show who two were. Its being deleted as original research, I claim its research from a primary source document. I don't see it as Synthesis either, I am not trying to establish a new position, just show the names as they appeared in the census. There is already another footnote from a book that also mentions it, my footnote expands on it. So, should it be deleted? Its not in the text of the article. Just one more bit of information for those who want more detail, after all thats why I looked it up. Exactly who were these other Moss' and how close were their names. Note that that the same person who deleted this also deleted all other information I added, back to his last addition to the article.

Joseph McCarthy

If you would like to participate in the discussion about RAN's edits in the article's talk page, please do so. Please do not just blindly support RAN's edit war because you find me "annoying." That sort of vendetta-pursuing is disruptive rather than constructive. If you had taken the time to read the discussion, you would have seen that the edit you are supporting is incorrect, as it gives undue coverage to something that was no more than an insignificant reporting error.

And I am not "in ANI", whatever that phrase might mean. As you may know, any fool, even one such as I, can open an ANI. If administrators don't choose to take action on the "incident" then it eventually moves to the ANI archives, and is effectively closed. That's what happened to the one that RAN's part time meat puppet opened on me, and that's what happened to the one that I opened on him. RedSpruce (talk) 21:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I think your idea of creating a Michigan Wolverines men's basketball page so we are consistent with most other NCAA and Big Ten schools is a good one. That said, I've never been a big UM basketball fan. In my day (early 80s), basketball was not that competitive at UM, and I never developed a passion for it. Accordingly, I'd be happy to chip in but would not be able to devote a huge amount of time to it. Cbl62 (talk)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lena.jpg. 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) 12:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

you're a star!

yaay!

Thanks for your help in getting the good ship SS Christopher Columbus to Featured Article status. The nomination went swimmingly, it was clear sailing all the way, no one turned up to torpedo it, and she passed easily. your very own free pass!

that's the ticket!

Some very nice comments from you. I am sorry you didn't get to cap them all off. Is this the first ship in the Chicago project? Maybe SS Eastland could be done? She's quite famous too, if tragically so. ++Lar: t/c 22:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Lafayette Square

Just wanted to know I left you some feedback about the article. It just needs two more things...infobox and a bottom city template. After that, it will be GA in my opinion. Let me know if you need anything specific. Chrisfortier (talk) 03:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:Infobox historic area works very well, actually. It does not need to be perfect to the specification but something like that would be fantastic. Thanks! Chrisfortier (talk) 03:34, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Fu#Images_2 specifically mentions the demi moore article as an example of acceptable use, just fyi. 86.44.30.16 (talk) 23:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Any photos needed?

Hello Tony. I was planning to take a day off soon, when the weather is a little nicer, and engage in a gas-guzzling drive around the South Side; could take pictures - that would add structure to the outing. Do you have any specific requests? Things southeast of about 63rd and Cottage Grove have always been kind of mysterious to me, so the plan was to explore there, but other suggestions welcome. Sincerely, Novickas (talk) 18:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

That looks like a good starting point, thanks. Novickas (talk) 21:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:LOTD

Congratulations! Swimming World Swimmers of the Year was selected as a List of the Day for April. Let me know if you have a strong preference for a date.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, it seem as though all the big swimming was at the Euro champs and the Aus Olympic trials which is this month! Never mind. Hopefully, perhaps the US trials in July might a suitable time. We're all expecting a flurry of world records from Michael Phelps, Katie Hoff, Ian Crocker, Aaron Peirsol and Natalie Coughlin. Which would be good. Hopefully the Australians can lift some more though :) Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Everyone in Australia is eagerly awaiting the swimming in Beijing after the 8 WRs this past week. Blnguyen (vote in the photo straw poll) 06:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
