Super Mario RPG lists

Currently, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars has two lists pertaining to it (List of characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). User:TTN decided it would be best to merge the lists into the main article and split Smithy Gang into those articles. I recently merged Smithy Gang into the list of chatacters by removing the non-notable characters, and I have asserted that a cameo section in the list of characters is valid, per Wikipedia:Trivia sections and Wikipedia:Handling trivia that uses Alex Trebek#Cameos as a good example. I have suggested that we rename the articles per Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves to something along the lines of Characters of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and World of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars or Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) just like Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and World of Final Fantasy VI or Gaia (Final Fantasy VII). I believe if these articles are to evolve beyond a non-notable list, they should be renamed. For example, List of Final Fantasy VII locations was merged into Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), because a World article is notable, but a simple list of locations is not. That is why there are other secions of the article to make it a World article. It simply has not been renamed yet.

TTN believes the citations in the development and reception sections of the list of locations, books and magazines, are trivial sources. When I added that the 3D perspective of the game is reminicent of Equinox to the main article, TTN removed it since my souce was "the opinions of the Nintendo Power player's guide writers". Although it was actually Nintendo Power magazine, I do believe a magazine is a reliable source, and I gave a page from Next Generation Magazine which also said the same thing. In addition, I was surprized that TTN said that it was from the players guide, since he claims to own the players guide for the game. He has not verified this, since I asked him for citations in May, "Could you look in the back of the Player's Guide and tell me what “types” of … Magic? I forgot what they call it in the game … well, anyways, what types of Special Attack or whatever it is (actually, could you find out what it's called?) there are? I remember some vaguely when I owned the guide like “Fire”, “Jump”, “Electricity?”, etc. Could you provide a citation, like the page number with a quote in context?" TTN replied that he was going to "get to it" (User talk:TTN/Archive 5#List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). TTN claims the player's guide is "at the bottom of a box that's behind at least five others in a cramped space". Seeing that TTN did not recognize that the page was not from the player's guide when I provided a scan of the page in question from Nintendo Power shocked me. However, I have continued to assume good faith by not questioning TTN's honesty.

Per Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change, I have offered five different reasonable, temporary compromises that might integrate my idea with TTN's.

  1. Go over the list of characters so we can delete non–notable characters
  2. Rename the articles by following the steps at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves.
  3. Cut down the geography section list of locations by cutting it into the regional maps the adventures use when traveling from one to another. I can get pictures and write the fair use rationals, and someone can cut down the text that has no citation and does not allude to other media.
  4. Write the concept and creation and reception sections for the list of characters
  5. Write the concept and creation section for the main article

TTN rejected my compromise because it still keeps the articles. I agreed I would consider a redirect, but Wikipedia:Article size does not allow that, since the list of locations is currently 82 KB long. Instead, I agreed to help cut down the geography section that is the bulk of the article, but TTN rejected that as well because TTN states, "I am not interested in working on the article in regards to improving it." and "get past this "having sources automatically means that this information is good" mentality." TTN states, "I don't think they have or will ever assert notability." I have replied with, "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so if you don't think the articles will ever assert notability, we cannot yet know this, per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#I don't like it.

Would you please take a look at Talk:Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and give us your thoughts? Taric25 06:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hehe... what a move conflict

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:University_of_Dayton_Ghetto&action=history Duja► 10:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

0.999...

You added the following to the 0.999... article:

"In brief the form with the 999… can be changed into the form with the 000… by adding 1 to the last i.,e. infinitieth) digit, and carrying all the way to the left, e.g. 0.999999… = 1; 1.77999999… = 1.78."

Unfortunately, this can't work, since there is no "last digit" to add anything to. Please see the article talk page and the FAQ linked there for more information on this.

From the FAQ:

Q: Can't "1 - 0.999..." be expressed as "0.000...1"?
A: No. "0.000...1" is not a meaningful string of symbols because, although a decimal representation of a number has a potentially infinite number of decimal places, each of the decimal places is a finite distance from the decimal point; the meaning of digit d being k places past the decimal point is that the digit contributes d · 10-k toward the value of the number represented. It may help to ask yourself how many places past the decimal point the "1" is. It cannot be an infinite number of places, because all places must be finite.

-- The Anome 10:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

On review: you've almost got the right idea with this, but the wrong way of going about it: it is true that
with the limit term being what I think you meant by "0.000...1", which must, if it means anything at all, be zero. However, it does not have any meaning in the standard reals, and so the "add to the infinitieth decimal place" argument fails at that point.
All of this needs to be dealt with in much more detail, however, because a substantial number of those who can't accept 0.999... = 1 regard the first part of the equality given above as perfectly reasonable, but refuse to believe the second, because they can't accept that the limit of an inequality that is valid for all finite n can ever be an equality when the limit is taken.
Understanding why this the second equality is both meaningful and true actually requires a quite sophisticated understanding of what equality between real numbers means, which is explained further down the article. -- The Anome 10:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

elix / helix

(I have moved this conversation to the Talk:Helicopter page. --Born2flie 22:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC))

The word is a transliteration of the greek alphabet and not a pronunciation aid. The word is spelled in the greek without a leading "h" and to place one there is inaccurate. You previously had no problem leaving the "h" off, and your edit summary that you know Greek is questionable in light of this diff. Are you suggesting that you now know Greek and are correcting your previous error? The greek word for "spirally", ελικοειδώς, appears to be the root word being discussed. If you disagree with the quoted source, which the text of the article, until now, has attempted to represent, then source it appropriately. However, your personal knowledge or current ongoing education in the greek language is considered OR. --Born2flie 22:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


Talk:Red Star Belgrade

Danny Wallace

  • Hi Anthony. Did you check the talk page before your recent move of the Danny Wallace article from "humorist" to "comedian"? This had already been discussed in talk and moved the other way. I think, therefore, that it would be appropriate to move it back again, since that was the (limited but no longer contested) consensus reached. I've not gone ahead and done this yet because I wanted to check your reasoning, but if it's just as you give in your move summary ("he's better known as ...") then essentially the discussion on the talk page begs to differ ;-) Please consider undoing your move. – Kieran T (talk) 09:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Christian Claudio, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Thank you for acknowledging our efforts to make diving safer by improving situational awareness via our Double-Dome masks. Despite my avoidance of all "puffery" and adjectives in earlier edits in "Scuba diving," "Underwater vision," and "Diving mask" articles, I have been watch-listed by an unknown Wikipedia Pooh-Bah. Perhaps because old traditions / habits / products have fierce defenders who fear change in the real-world? Some scuba retailers get absolutely apoplectic about the Internet's impact on their income, which may inappropriately influence Wikipedia articles. In any case, thank you very much for your efforts to include us, objectively, and as you said, "despite lack of outside link."

Since I carry "baggage," I hope you don't mind my asking for you to make a few minor edits. I apologize for this intrusion of your time, but my past experience causes me to believe that any edits I make personally will be quickly purged. And also motivate deletion of your existing, much-appreciated, acknowledgment of what we do.

1. "Underwater vision": the link there for "Double-dome masks" dead-ends (used to go to "scuba diving" article, before I was purged. Could you please redirect the link to the "Diving mask" article? BTW - in your future update of the entire SCUBA section, perhaps combining "Underwater vision" and "Diving mask" articles is appropriate?

2. The "scuba diving" article has a section called "Refraction and underwater vision" which briefly mentions the symptoms of refraction-induced tunnel vision. While there are multiple links to the "Diving mask" article here, the reader is given the impression that no "cure" exists for tunnel-vision. I hope you share the sentiment that a brief Double-dome mention is appropriate; something like: Double-dome masks widen field-of-view and restore perceived size and distance, but have some restrictions (link to the "Diving mask" article, anchor #3).

3. Suggested additional phrase to your restored Double-Dome section on "Diving mask" article. Just after "... perceived distance and size of objects," "...which helps to improve situational awareness." (link to the excellent Wiki article about SA).

THANK YOU for your time and again, apologies for this imposition. Kudos for all your endeavors to make Wikipedia an excellent source of objective information.

Removal of page about Varkon

I stumbled on a request in to write an objective artical about Varkon on SourceForge/Help Wanted/Document Writers. The request for help stated: Varkon needs an article in Wikipedia. There is a list of FOSS CAD software and Varkon isn't in it. The list refers to seperate articles for each product. Aside from that, a Wikipedia article discussing Varkon and it's features as a parametric CAD package will improve the chance that people looking for CAD software via Google will hear about Varkon.

Volunteers ought to have experience with Varkon, and other CAD software so they can illustrate how Varkon compares with other types of CAD software.

Searching for precedence on the article I found Varkon mentioned on Conflict of Interest. User EconomicsGuy said: Just a heads up. Some CAD project on Sourceforge is looking for people to write their article for them and apparently mention their project wherever possible on Wikipedia to increase their Google ranking. See the ad here. It's unpaid but still the kind of thing we don't really want.

Balancing between these two requests, I found Wikipedia could use a generic objective article about Varkon. The goal of this article was to spread information and not to increase a Google Ranking (which wasn't implied by the request for help, but was worded by EconomicsGuy). I wrote this article without conflict of interest, or under order of the developers of Varkon. Open Source CAD-software in my opinion has a place on wikipedia in articles listing it's features. I think it isn't spam nor an advertisement for Varkon. I refrained from using loaded words like 'uniquely capable' and 'easy integration' so to make the article sounds less if at all like an advert. I am a user of Varkon and this article main purpose isn't advertisment, but making people aware the project Varkon turned OpenSource and was relocated to SourceForge. The article is sourced by the linked website's, which are website's notable on the subject. EconomicsGuy gets of his high horse to say: Exactly as predicted the article has now been recreated. And, as predicted without a trace of any assertion of notability Wikipedia says: Within Wikipedia, Notability is an article inclusion criterion based on encyclopedic suitability. The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice". If an article about Varkon would not be notable than why would a page like this exist? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_computer-aided_design_software

This being my first contributed article on Wikipedia, prompt removal works quite disheartening to an aspiring Wikipedia editor.

Could you explain why you removed the article and give some recommendations for rewriting and possibly resubmitting my entry by leaving a message here or on my talk page?

Thank you VeganEater 11:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Evening, It was upsetting to see that wikipedia does not care to place a minor article about a Prince in their database. Even after it was stated "a family tree will be provided". Also was stated the time consuming and "expensive" process in relation to the method of delivery process. The Royal family would consider this an insult. What was your reason for deleting this article? Is a family tree enough to "prove" royalty to your standards? If not, what else will be necessary? Good day...

deleting Christian Post philosophy

please can you tell me the rationale of deleting this article without any discussion whatsoever. (Motegole 10:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC))

Dear Sir,

RE your deletion of the SCMR entry.

Stepwise for ease of rebuttal.

1. SCMR is a moderately sized international society, a learned society, a medical charity with 1300 members subscription members and a stated aim of health promotion. Can I confirm that neither of us us dispute its eligibility to be on Wikipedia as with other list of learned societies?

2. As a board member, I am not renumberated and recieve no expenses and my time is for free running their website. I am an academic. In what way is this a conflict of interest? Wikipedia links do not increase linkage for search engines and even if they did, I would still question whether this represents a conflict of interest.

3. If the small number of experts in a scientific field do not write on a topic, who will? Medicine is quite poorly represented on wikipedia. I am in a position to write a wikipedia entry, I have no financial conflict of interest. It is pleasant that I am able to authorise copyright but who else would be able to? I am also writing about it from a neutral point of view. I have expressed no opinions whatsoever, merely posted stated aims of the society, and stuck to wikipedia guidelines.Your assertion that I am advertising is curious. I am not touting for members, who are all going to be specialists and not using wikipedia information about cardiac heart tests. By your definition, the dissemination of information could thus be concluded to be advertising!

4. If your objection is in the lack of soruces, as you can see, this is only the second posting I have ever made to wikipedia. I can of course list the societies that SCMR is a member of, and its international relationships. Is this acceptable?

5. Finally, if there is a definition or stated goal or aim, how can one post it without copying the facts?

It is easy to destroy; rather harder to build! with very best wishes, Dr James Moon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jccmoon (talk • contribs) 13:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair Grinds Coffeehouse

  • I would like to understand why it is that two (actually more) of my business competitor are able to be listed in Wikipedia and not my coffeehouse. Chateau Coffee Cafe and PJ's Coffee are both simple commercial shops. I can understand Starbucks (major impact on society) and Cafe du Monde (hugely historic) listings but PJ's and Chateau are boring commercial ventures. You guys also list coffeehouse chains, pretty unfair to us independents who struggle daily to preserve the coffeehouse definition as something other than "fast food". I don't quibble with the deletion of my amatuer attempt at learning Wiki, but I must admit the speedy delete seemed unfair in light of these other articles. (I do understand the magnitude of your job better having looked for my deleted file, and I thank you and others for your efforts) - Fgowner 17:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Page Fair Grinds Coffeehouse was speedy-delete-tagged at 00:51, 26 October 2007 by User:Jamesontai. It is to be noted that Chateau Coffee Cafe and PJ's Coffee are described as chains of shops, but Fair Grinds Coffeehouse is described as one cafe with no particular notability. Also, since you seem to own the cafe described, see Wikipedia's rules on "conflict of interest". If you wish, I will undelete Fair Grinds Coffeehouse and AfD it. Anthony Appleyard 18:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I will not ask to be restored, but still feel that the issue of being part of chain as qualification for notability is weak. As an independent we have done more notable things than any single coffeehouse that is part of a chain. A Google search will show national news articles about our recovery, and listings of hundreds of events we have hosted for the community. Chateau Coffee Cafe seems to have been deleted, they had two coffeehouses before the storm and now just one - how is that a chain? Also, I could have had a customer or employee write the peice, but I doubt they would have been as objective, and would have clearly read more like an advertisement. All I really want, (though it will make no difference to my business like true advertising is supposed to do) is that if there is a listing of coffeehouses in New Orleans, chain, corporate, historic or otherwise, that my shop is fairly listed. My shop is held by an LLC which has several other factions which makes me no better or no worse than PJ's coffee houses, unless maybe there is a threshold for how rich you have to be before being included? Thanks for your considerations Fgowner 15:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Reading the conflict of interest rules indicates to me that while it is highly unlikely that I could be objective (nor my employees or satisfied customers) that is not prohibited for someone to try. I looked at the PJ's article and Chateau article and tried to mimic their apparently allowed objectivity. The PJ's Coffee artice was actually written by a user named User:Pjscoffee. I doubt they were as seperate from the business as all that. I can no longer figure out how to see the user responsible for Chateau's listing, but I'd rather learn how I could have a fairly done evaluation of the topic of my coffeehouse, is there a way to request articles?

Thanks again for you time. Fgowner 16:20, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Looking further into Wiki treatment of coffeehouses, I find another competitor Community Coffee whose coffeehouses are described in the file. Apparently the file was authored by User:SteveRwanda whose E-tool software company is involved with a coffee cooperative which sell primarily through Community Coffee. http://community.telecentre.org/en-tc/node/20178 . His contributions are admittedly fascinating, and I am convinced he is doing a good job in Rwanda helping people, but he is financially tied to the success of Community Coffee, a violation of what I understand is WP:COI. I am getting my hackles up a little about this because it appears clearly some can and others can't. With all the wiki safeguards, I suppose some are connected enough or know how to get around and are able to advertise their coffee products and outlets. Tell me I am wrong please.

Deletion of ScienceWorld

I have undone your deletion of ScienceWorld. Please see talk:ScienceWorld and talk:MathWorld and apply some common sense. Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MathWorld, which ended in "speedy keep". Please note:

  • MathWorld is one of the most prestigious web sites in the world.
  • It is supported financially by the National Science Foundation.
  • It rivals Wikipedia as the main source of information on its topic on the web.
  • It WAS the main source of information on its topic on the web before Wikipedia expanded to be its rival. Many professionals in the field regard it as still the best source on the web.
  • Its Wikipedia article existed for years before Wikipedia was well-known enough that anyone would want to advertise on Wikipedia. It was not advertising.
  • Nearly 1500 Wikipedia articles link to MathWorld (the Wikipedia article). They were put there by MANY MANY people like me who have no interest in advertising Wolfram.
  • Thousands of Wikipedia articles link to MathWorld (the external site). For good reason. Those links were put there mostly by professionals in the field who have no interest in advertising Wolfram.
  • ScienceWorld could reasonably be considered notable merely because it's run by the same organization that runs MathWorld. There are also other reasons to consider it notable.
  • More than 50 Wikipedia articles link to it. If you deleted any of those links, please restore them promptly.

If you think ScienceWorld needs to get deleted, take it to AfD. Michael Hardy 18:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
