Stop being an aussie

I can't mate. I was born that way. I tried searching for refs to fix his page for him but I couldn't find anything? I've been trying to prompt him to read up on referencing etc. What do you suggest I do? Apart from being an Aussie that is ;-) Sting au Buzz Me... 00:32, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I already pointed him to those. I see someone else trying to point him towards references now. The notability tag is to alert other editors to the fact that it needs work. I'd thought about AfD'ing it but as you say state published doc etc (the ref he gave had nothing). I too think it likely notable but would still like to see at least something linked to a source to satisfy WP:V. Sting au Buzz Me... 01:27, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nah it's cool. The creator of the article cleaned it up nicely himself. I removed the notability tag. He just needed time to read up on how things work around here. Come to think of it I'm still learning myself! Anyhow, he will most likely become a good editor around here. Sting au Buzz Me... 04:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Topic

Could you take a look at the Freenode article? The F is being displayed as lower case. Maybe it is my browser, I am not sure. When I click history, it displays the F as capital. When I try to move it, it displays it as capital. Would you know what is causing this? Thanks. Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 02:29, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I just was wondering why it was lower case but when I went to history and move it was upper case. I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. I understand now. Thanks. Cheers. Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 12:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bosnian rocks

Eh kako si sta ima? Nisam mislio ista napisat dokle nisam procitao da pricas Bosanski. I ja sam rodjen u Bosni - bas u Sarajevo - i zivim u Australiju. I'll type in English from now as it's way easier. I'm 17 years old btw and like your taste in music (mine is slightly heavier but classics r cool 2). Anyway that's it from me. Just wanted to say hi to a fellow bosnian... hi. Now bye

Eh! Nisam znao da ima nasih na engleskoj. Ja sam rodjen u Sarajevu, kod one slasticarnice, sa sladoledom, nemogu se sjetiti kako se zove. Jos malo sam zaboravijo kako da typkam na bosanskom. Ajde, vidimo se okolo. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 17:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Thanks! for considering my request. Well my userpage looks just like a mess, so i want it to look nice for example just as yours. --SMS Talk 06:17, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well i m totally confused regarding the style of the page and how to arrange everything, and I also lack the sense of creativity, so can't think of an appropriate style. And yes i do like the colors used in my signature. I am too ashamed for asking you doing one of my own work. --SMS Talk 17:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it will be ok, but i think i have tried doing that, but that didn't work, but you can try too! because i may have missed something. --SMS Talk 14:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations!

Hey Master of Puppets. You have no idea who I am but I've been a fan of your editing and especially your icons. We had talked a long time ago about userpages. Anyway, to the point I just saw you recently became an administrator and wanted to congratulate you. Mkdwtalk 10:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

I would like to know how to make and edit a template, & what magical powers admins get. Basketball110 what famous people say 17:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is rollback? Basketball110 what famous people say 17:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Another question, if there is a vandal that needs to be blocked, what do I do? Once, I experimented on my own talk page by putting {{block}}, and noticed that it worked. Basketball110 what famous people say 17:20, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What are guidelines for signatures? Basketball110 what famous people say 17:24, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to move a page to a page that already exists (as a redirect). The pages are: Harlem to Harlem, New York. When I tried, it said that it couldn't (already created page (H,NY)), and it told me to get administor help. Basketball110 what famous people say 17:31, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, not really. It's just my thinking that it would make more sense to move it to Harlem, New York. Basketball110 what famous people say 17:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Most userboxes are linked w/ categories. How would I get the ones that aren't linked, linked? Basketball110 what famous people say 17:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does your username come from the song? Basketball110 what famous people say 18:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think about Texas Society of Microscopy? Basketball110 what famous people say 18:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I thought, the not-notable bit, but I think I'm going to create the Microscopy Society of America article. Do you think that is notable? Basketball110 what famous people say 18:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another question... when I'm on new page patrol, I notice these articles about people. They are not cited, not at all written (e.g. typo is tyop, and That person is... is Pershon tha is), but they include accomplishments. I'm not sure if the person is real or not, but it they are, the person is noteworthy. What should I tag it as? Basketball110 what famous people say 18:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is just the beginning, but what do you think of this: Microscopy Society of America? Basketball110 what famous people say 18:27, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How is that? There isn't that much out there (on the web), though. Basketball110 what famous people say 18:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think I should move it into mainspace? Basketball110 what famous people say 18:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I think it was a week ago... you said that I'm not too far from graduation, when is "not too far?" Basketball110 what famous people say 18:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not to seem that I want to leave your choking grasp (just kidding) helpful outreaching arms... for I was just wondering what you meant. Basketball110 what famous people say 19:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How do admins delete pages? Basketball110 what famous people say 19:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
:) Cool. Basketball110 what famous people say 19:33, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you delete the pear userbox you had? Basketball110 what famous people say 21:32, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... okay. Basketball110 what famous people say 21:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have reached consensus... that Maximillion Pegasus' header is "damn cool." Thanks for voting, in a vote that closed 3 support, 0 oppose, and 0 neutral.

By the way, what is the point of voting "neutral" in an RfA? As I have observed, some users do that. Basketball110 what famous people say 22:17, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What should I do about this? A person created this article, as a test, yet I believe it to be correct. I have re-written it nicely. Basketball110 what famous people say 22:22, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AIV report error

Aah, thanks for the heads up. My report was based on the warning last month, which said if the user vandalised again, the block would be extended. I quickly realised my mistake in filing a VIA report (it was my second; I'm learning :)) so I assure you my reports will be properly... thought through next time :) Thanks!

Um, MoP...

...HotBuch wanted to be adopted, per this diff which you reverted. I don't think that warrants an indef. Apparently he didn't know what and what not to do. I think you should let him go, let me tutor him, and if he still vandalises, indef him again and give me a permanent WikiBreak. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER 22:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC) I strike.

Hi there, You didn't do it the way I actually wanted. See Mozilla Firefox's page.

Spore Edit War on Again

Hi, I figured I'd cross-post this in your talk page too, since you've been involved in the Spore article.

You may need to look at Spore again. There seems to be a minor edit war going on, again. JAF1970 removed all references talking about the Wii version, trimming it down to a single unsourced line where he forgot to remove the "Wiiwii" reference. Sillygostly then merged the Spore Creatures and Spore Mobile articles into the Spore article, which will no doubt be a controversial edit.

There has been no consensus and really no discussion about what direction to take the article in. I'm not sure if it needs outright protection again, but it may need watching by someone wiser than I. KiTA (talk) 14:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Helping me!

Hey thanks for the offer MoP! I was looking for a user page layout to organize my page and wanted something like you've got on yours. Maybe a bar for navigation like on yours and a "show and hide" code possibly.

User: ForeverFreeSpeech

I think he was within his rights to make the revert, but I've warned ForeverFreeSpeech over his use of the word "liar" here. Probably a violation of WP:NPA.

On the other hand, Eleland still hasn't responded to the question of his edits (and why he claimed he was reverting "mass removal of sourced info" in this diff on the talk page, which makes me think ForeverFreeSpeech should be given some leeway. It can't be easy to try to deal with someone who blatantly mischaracterizes an edit summary like that.

I'm also not convinced Eleland's "source" for his "very well known claim" is valid as per WP:RS either (though I'd still prefer the section go to another as seems most likely in the admittedly small 4-person consensus here, then we still have to deal with the sourcing issue on that page).

Also, can you teach me the format for the "this edit should have been signed by"? ForeverFreeSpeech forgot to sign when he posted (see diff).

Rod Laver semi-protection request

You declined this request, saying, "There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time." I ask you to reconsider. Here are the diffs for the disruptive edits in February alone (reverse chronological order): (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) (combined consecutive edits by IP), (9) (combined consecutive edits by IP, (10) (combined consecutive edits by IP, (11). There were many more in January and December, with incivil edit summaries containing the following language (all spelling mistakes are from the IP): "mr arrogant," "ruthless uncvil vandalism," "ruthless bully," "rubbish by tennis arrogant," "bully boy actions," "arrogant egotistical jerk," "he's not god but acts like he is," "arrogant vandalism," "your massive ego and incredible arrogance," "reada book you jerk and stop interferring in good work because you ignorant and pedantic," "your ignorance no reason to not include fact," and "just becqause yourignoraqnt does not mean its not true." Thanks. Tennis expert (talk) 04:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am again asking you to reconsider. Please see this. Thanks. Tennis expert (talk) 20:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure how a person could be said to be editing in "good faith" when he or she is as incivil as the person has been for the last 3 or 4 months. Most of this person's edit summaries are insulting to me. Have you looked at them? They're available through the history of the Rod Laver article. This person is a suck puppet for a registered user, Jeffreyneave. As for the quality of this person's edits, he's been asked to source controversial quotations. He refuses to do so. He's been asked to quit making tables internally inconsistent. He refuses to do so. He repeatedly makes edits against the wishes of other editors, as evidenced by the reverts of his edits that persons other than me have made. What additional justification do you need? Warning him does no good because he uses an IP account once, never to return to it again. I highly doubt he has seen any of your warnings. If your decision is final, please let me know so I can seek a second opinion. Thanks. Tennis expert (talk) 06:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's no question that this IP user is a sock puppet of Jeffreyneave. He often signs his discussion page posts manually with "jeffreyneave" while using an IP account that's also used for disruption and incivility on the Rod Laver article. Really, what good would a block do? He no longer uses the Jeffreyneave registered account, instead using rolling IP accounts. He posts only to a few articles, with the Rod Laver account being his most common outlet. Semi-protection of that article seems reasonable to me and most likely to protect Wikipedia. But that's only my opinion, I suppose. Tennis expert (talk) 07:36, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Tennis expert (talk) 07:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another Problem

Hello! I hate to keep coming back to you under these circumstances, but it would appear that we have another Wikipedia user who refuses to accept factual information. Please review the edits for Charmed36, in particular his recent edits to the genres of the Rihanna songs Shut Up and Drive and Unfaithful (song). The user refuses to recognize that those records do have an R&B influence to them (particularly in the instance of Shut Up and Drive, as it picked up a People's Choice Awards win in 2007 for "Best R&B Song") and has removed - several times - an R&B tag from the articles pertaining to those songs. I have explained on his talk page (see #68 - I think - in his index, labeled Shut Up and Drive) why the R&B tags should remain, but I don't believe he accepts the reasoning. Your assistance is much appreciated! Thank you so much. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 04:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also wanted to bring the Hancock Stadium article to your attention again. The previous user has returned, insisting on adding the information that I have removed. This time, in his edit summary, he made what I take as a personal attack against me. I have reverted the edit and calmly explained on his talk page about the need for a verifiable source in order to meet NPOV guidelines. I also referenced him (for the second time) to WP:PROVEIT, but I'm afraid further steps may need to be taken to clear up this issue. However, since I am not an Administrator, I will leave that to you and others to decide. Thanks.--InDeBiz1 (talk) 23:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mach3moe has gone too far. He has just accused me of vandalism in his edit summary of his most recent edit to Hancock Stadium, which I have reverted. It does not appear that he has read your comment on his talk page or - if he has - he is choosing to ignore it. What do you recommend as my next step? I hate to ask for mediation because it would be a glaring waste of any reviewer's time, as it's painfully apparent that my refusal to allow that particular information into the article is correct under WP:NPOV. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 05:37, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your assistance. I hate to make such a big deal out of this, but if that information is allowed to remain in the article, it could potentially cause many problems, not the least of which could (although unlikely, yes) a slander suit. The only thing that I worry about now is the chance that I may be exposed to an edit warring block, which would certainly not be indicative of the way that I contribute to the encyclopedia and I'm sure it would not be looked at in a great light when the time comes for me to pursue Administrator status, which I would like to attempt sometime in the future, perhaps this summer.  :( --InDeBiz1 (talk) 05:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Little requests

Hi, nice to meet you!

I need your helps. Could you make some Redirected pages to Buddhism by country such as:

  • East Asian religions by country
  • Chinese religions by country
  • Taoism by country
  • Confucianism by country

Because as you can see in the introdution of Buddhism by country that wrote:

"...Obtaining exact numbers of practicing Buddhists can be difficult and may be reliant on the definition used. Adherents of Eastern religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto and traditional religions or Shamanism, animism often have beliefs comprised of a mix of religious ideas..."


Thank you so much!

Good luck!

Help in renovating userpage

Sorry to disturb you! but i am finding difficulties in aligning boxes on my user page. Don't know how to fix this! Can you help me? --SMS Talk 19:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

Thank you for your help. Unblocking should be a simple idea. Checkuser proven, edits are not vandalism. But I am scared that a few in wikipedia will say that checkuser can prove guilt and if it proves innocence, you are still guilty. Wild theories about syntax and ignoring when syntax is different. Anyway, thanks! In the previous months, I saw many things to correct or to edit but my mind is blank now! Oprahwasontv (talk) 22:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Content disputes and other things

I think I did. But most people always think they're right. So I don't care about it anymore. Charmed36 (talk) 03:33, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't a question of "thinking" that I'm right and that's what I'm trying to get you to see. In the case of Shut Up and Drive, it won a recognized award as an R&B song, therefore an R&B tag - in addition to the Pop - is appropriate. In the case of Unfaithful (song), that song not only is obviously influenced by the Urban/R&B genre (listen to the chords and the beat, separately if you can find the instrumental online), but it also charted very highly on the Rhythmic Top 40 and - unless I'm mistaken, and I could be on this one - it also charted at Urban and Urban Adult Contemporary. Therefore, again, the R&B tag - in addition to the Pop - is appropriate. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 03:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just so I know since you seem to be knowledgeable; how long should a request for comment usually last? Consensus seems pretty solid though few editors have shown up.

Also, user:Eleland still hasn't responded to the quantitative edit questions I had (one section above the rfc); I'm worried this could blow up again when I move the section to its new home. Any recommended steps to avoid this?

That level of deletion dos not seem appropriate to me. —MJBurrage(T•C) 21:36, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should give people more than just seconds to respond before deleting.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Two-Mile Prairie, Missouri

Hi. :) I noticed that you had marked this one for relisting and removed it from its original day, but you hadn't transcluded it to today. Since it had been about 15 minutes, I presume this was an oversight and transcluded it for you. I thought I'd drop you a note in case you have a system or are keeping notes about stuff to transclude, so that I don't mess you up. :) (It's so good to see this backlog disappearing! Wow, did we ever get behind!) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:08, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. :) I live in terror of forgetting or failing to remove the little "remove this when closing this AfD tag". So far as I know, I haven't yet, but it's inevitable. :/ One note that you might find helpful: there is a special procedure to follow when you close an AfD as merge. We place the template {{Afd-mergeto}} on the subject article and {{Afd-mergefrom}} on the destination talk page. Why the talk page? I don't know. I find this highly mysterious, since it differs from Help:Merge, but who am I to question? Anyway, full usage looks like this:{{afd-mergeto|destination article|debate name (sans Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/...so, in other words, usually nominated article name)|debate closure date}} and {{afd-mergefrom|nominated article|debate name|debate closure date}}. I've only recently realized that this templates exist myself. (I'm sure I read them some time ago at WP:DPR, but I don't do a lot of AfD and utterly forgot.) Until recently, I thought if I closed an article as merge, I had to merge it myself. I often do anyway, but at least now I know what to do when I can't (hit two of those today). :) I figure that you may not know this because of your handling of Another One Bites the Dust (1998 song). And, no, I'm honestly not stalking you. :D Just, like you, I've been working that backlog of AfDs. As a result, I've wound up contributing to many that are left and watchlisting them. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD: R. J. Danvers

You closed the R. J. Davners AfD as keep, but I fail to see how this person meets either the general WP:BIO or the WP:PORNBIO criteria. The votes to keep don't clarify this situation. The subject of the article voted to keep based on appearing in one issue of a magazine and based on the claim that he stared in the groundbreaking film Grunts. As someone else mentioned in the AfD, the sources provided did not support either that he was a star of the flim or that it was groundbreaking. The other two just stated that he meets the criteria without any details. Could you help me understand what criteria were met and how they were met? BlueAzure (talk) 19:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia:Guide to deletion states that you as the closing admin should "carefully read the AFD discussion, weigh all the facts, evidence and arguments". I don't see the evidence that supports the keep votes in this case. Again I will ask, what criteria were met and how were they met? BlueAzure (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The guideline says "starring in", not particapting in. If there were reliable sources that stated that he starred in the film, the subject of the article should have been able to provide those. Per Wikipedia:Verifiability, the burden of evidence is on the person who adds material. By your reasoning, anyone who was mentioned as particiapting in the film would pass WP:PORNBIO, unless evidence could be provided that they did not star in it.

Decision Intelligence deletion

Hello,

I got the "spam - speedy deletion" notice when I was editting this page.

And so I put in the discussion page why I added it - but before I could even finish my discussion edit you had deleted it (even though I put the "hold on" tag on the page).

I had also deleted the product refereces out of the main page, since I thought that might be what you didn't like (and they didn't really fit the tone of wikipedia - I was looking to get more content in on my first edit). But I don't think that even made it before your deletion.

Other then the fact that I haven't added many pages of text, this article is at least as relevent as the one on SAS institute or the direct marketing association or other companies that do these complicated backroom analytics to try and target consumers. And I'm sure it would be expanded on in the future (I certainly am trying to find out more, since I know folks are interested. (after reading the really interesting Twin Cities Business article I had linked at the bottom on how these analitics people can figure out everthing about you) - Could you either reinstate the page and allow me to address any problems in discussion or in the main article...or could you tell me what content you require to bring it back...?

Qxz ads

Hi, MOP. You are doing a fantastic job with the Wikipedia ads. However, could you please include the images that you used to make the ads, per GFDL? One example is seen here. Also, on this image, you didn't provide a license or image description, which is vital, because as you know there is a period where images are deleted after a certain period of time if they don't have licenses.

Also, Spanish Wikipedia (see this) is considering having ads on their userpages. If you are interested, you might want to go to #wikipedia-es (don't worry, they speak English in there and don't bite :-P) to ask them. Cheers. miranda 09:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding WP:Notability -- Interesting point. How does one assess notability for software? It's pretty obvious to me how to measure notability for a person, for example, but I can't think of a good metric for software. Number of users? Perhaps already-notable people/companies that use the software?
I look at a page like Banshee (music player) and I get confused. Clearly Banshee is a notable piece of software, as thousands of people use it (including myself). However, the article for Banshee does not really establish notability for itself. Any advice on the matter? --Ean5533 ( View! / Talk!) 01:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was reviewing the Wikipedia Ads you just put up. Nice work! Just one question though on Image:Qxz-ad124.gif - is that AIM buddy a copyrighted logo? From the looks of it, it looks like an AIM buddy knock-off, but I was just wondering if it still technically violates (C) on AOL's logo. Also, I'm pretty sure you need to cite every image/logo you used for your ads. Perhaps listing the image sources on the image summary would be ideal for others to review potential (C) issues in the future. Thanks! Please let me know if you have questions. Have a great day! :D - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 23:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

retrieve article

i would like to retrieve an article that i submitted in March 2007 called "Canadian Company of Pilgrims". it has been deleted and i would like to get a copy of it.

it was deleted by FisherQueen on July 9, 2007 over notability concerns.

i would like to re-submit the article minus the image that caused it to be deleted.

i understand that any administrator can undelete the article and restore it to my user space.

thanks for any help that anyone can provide,

The image had nothing to do with the article being deleted, it seems the subject did not meet our notability criteria at the time, if you think this has changed, please make the case for the article at deletion review. Nick (talk) 23:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


can i not get a copy of the article anyway? --DP (talk) 23:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
