I am a teacher in California

I am trying to help them understand that Wikipedia is not a valid source for information. Most students don't quite get this, since pretty much everybody can update this Wiki. There are few scholars that update information or include sources. I was hoping to be able to show them that they can't actually trust all of their source for research on the internet.

Can you please let one thing go?

Thanks, Chris —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cp1955 (talk • contribs) 05:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Reverting of IGE article

You reverted changed made to the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGE

The majority of this article is a copy&paste that was originally posted on mmobux.com at http://www.mmobux.com/articles/760/the-rise-and-fall-of-ige

Since Wikipedia states: "Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted."

I felt it would be right to delete this. Can you please look into this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.84.64 (talk • contribs)

Do you intend to just revert the incorrectly formatted addition that I removed or are you going to leave it incomplete? I removed the info because of formatting issues, you added it back with the same bad formatting. KellyAna (talk) 21:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I only meant to reinsert the next episode title, I didn't notice the formatting issue until I looked again and changed browsers. You reverted three edits: [3] [4] [5]. I just reinserted the first one, but I see what you meant and I corrected it here. I actually thought you were referring to the second and third edits in your edit summary, but accidentally reverted the first edit, too. Eh, it's all fixed now.

Wikipedia List of Notable Egyptologists

The ongoing editing of (and occasional tampering with) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Egyptologists has omitted or removed a number of notable Egyptologists who were originally listed and now contains the names of a number of individuals who are virtually unknown in the field. It might serve the readers of Wikipedia better to simply provide a link to a site such as the international directory of Egyptologists: http://www.iae.lmu.de/iae/ide/ide.htm

Professor Richard Wilkinson Editor, Directory of North American Egyptologists. http://www-oi.uchicago.edu/OI/DEPT/RA/ABZU/EGDIR_INTRO.HTML —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 23:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Since I know very little about the field, I will defer to you about if the link should be added. You are welcome to add it in to an external links section. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. It's difficult in that the list itself has problems and needs to be adjusted but a complete list would be just way too long. I'd be happy to help sort it out if you wish. Please feel free to email me at egypt@u.arizona.edu if you would like to work on it together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 00:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Maybe the best way to take care of the problem (if you would want to use your wiki editing experience as I have none!) would be to simply put a statement under the current header paragraph that a complete list of Egyptologists can be found at http://www.iae.lmu.de/iae/ide/ide.htm then change the heading "Notable Egyptologists" to "Egyptologists in Wikipedia" and have the list with a short statement such as "The following individuals, or others, have added biographical summaries to Wikipedia: This would solve the problem of the glaring omissions as well as the questionable additions. RW —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 01:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I've made some changes to the article that might help clarify that the list is incomplete. Your wording suggestions are not quite the usual style, but I think I have added in wording that follows the spirit of what you are trying to say. A lot of the lists of people on Wikipedia are often incomplete because the general style of Wikipedia is to include only individuals with articles on Wikipedia. It cuts back on people adding vanity entries or not-yet-notable people. So I am sure that some notable Egyptologists are missing as nobody has yet to write an article about them.

Upon further reading, a link to the IAE was already at the bottom of the article, but I changed it to link directly to the IDE. As for editing Wikipedia, it's quite easy as you have already figured out how to leave comments. Editing an article is not that much different. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. It certainly helps to stress that the list is incomplete. The only problem that remains is that of the individuals listed as "notable Egyptologists" who are not Egyptologists - such as the RUGBY player, Michael Rhodes. I guess that comes down to whether Wikipedia style articles are accurate or not. If you don't want to clean up the list together I can certainly try redoing it. RW —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 15:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Ouch. That's bad. He's been in there since October 2007. He's gone now. I guess nobody noticed when he was added (it happens on lower profile articles like this one).

I checked everybody on the list on make sure their article stated that they were all Egyptologists, fixed a few links, sorted the list and so on. One thing that happened with the list clean up is that Abdul Latif al-Baghdadi ended up with a dead link (if you'll excuse the bad pun). I don't know the notability status of this individual. As I mentioned earlier, dead links (also known as "redlinks") are generally frowned upon in these types of lists as they are not helpful to the reader and tend to invite vanity entries. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Great- dropping the Rugby player is certainly a good start. So what would you like to do about the remaining ones who are not "Notable Egyptologists" - including the vanity entries and entries for people who are unheard of in the field (which together with all the notable omissions makes the list virtually useless as titled? Wouldn't it be simplest to solve that problem with at least a somewhat more accurate heading such as "Egyptologists with Entries in Wikipedia"? "Notable Egyptologists" is explicit that the individuals are notable (many of whom are not) and implicit that the list is complete (which it is not). Richard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 18:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Was there somebody in particular that should not be listed? All of the remaining entries have links to articles that state they are Egyptologists except for the one I mentioned above. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Not listed as "Notable Egyptologists"? - yes, several, as I said. Either the title should be changed or the list redone. Changing the title would be far easier. R. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 18:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I think we were crosstalking there. I thought you were saying that somebody currently in the list should not be in the list because they are not notable. I think what you're really saying that some Egyptologists who are notable are not in the list. Which is probably true, which is why I modified the lead the other day. I would not recommend altering the header to what you suggested because that is not the normal method of showing that the list is incomplete. As for adding to the list, that's fine if the Egyptologist has an article on Wikipedia or an outside source can be cited that they are indeed notable enough for inclusion, but just haven't been written about. If we just start adding in lists of names without providing a reason and citations for their inclusion, it is likely that it will be deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying here but it's actually not the omissions that are the main problem - there are really far too many qualified Egyptologists to list on the page - as may be seen in the directories such as the DNAE or the IAE Directory - The real problem is the accuracy of heading a list "Notable Egyptologists" when many obviously are not. RW —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 19:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see. There is a set of procedures for articles to be deleted for lack of notability. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy or more specifically Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Since my knowledge about the notability (or lack there of) of the current people listed is not that great, I would not be comfortable proposing their deletion or deleting their entry from the list. You could create an account and propose deletion yourself, but since you are involved in the field of study, it might be seen as a conflict of interest. If you do decide to create an account, you might be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Ancient Egypt. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I followed your earlier advice and made a reasonable change. I simply changed "Notable Egyptologists" which, as I have tried to explain, was ridiculous given the list - to "Egyptologists". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 20:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC) The changes you made at the beginning of the article seem good to me and I think that the article should be fine as structured now. Thanks for working together to get it cleaned up. RW —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.60.76 (talk) 20:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. Glad to be of assistance. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Well this was our discussion so far. We are the owners of this website http://www.karakachan.eu.org and we would like to add content to Bulgarian Shepherd Dog but so far you deleted it. what did we do wrong and how to continue? How do we prove that we are the writers/owners of the content? The so-called copyrighted material is owned by us (Semperviva). All the content we wish to add including the pictures is our own material.

And the other question. >If you wish to copy content from your website into Wikipedia You mean that on this/our website we should referre to wikipedia?

How was it a "debate?"

"A corporate owned and sponsored attack on Barack Obama" seems much more truthful. If Disney News labeled it, "The Greatest Thing to Happen Since Sliced Bread" would we be expected to call it that? I thought encyclopedias -- and Wikipedia -- were about the truth, not the network spin. Either way, I won't change it again, but I am disappointed in you as an Admin. for reverting the article to Disney News' spin and marketing rather than what the event honestly was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.59.16 (talk) 07:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Your message to me clearly indicates that you have a bias and your edits of "President Obama" and "the future President" is not a neutral point of view. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The President thing was a stupid move on my part and I apologize. It was only after someone changed the truthful description of, "a corporate owned and sponsored attack on Barack Obama" back to ABC's PR term, "debate" and it was meant to show how absurd using words like "debate" or "President" are if they are not true. ABC/Disney News' forum was not a debate and I still say that term should be changed back, but I will leave it up to your discretion as an admin. Is Wikipedia being sponsored by Walt Disney? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.59.16 (talk) 08:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

You were the one who added corporate owned and sponsored attack which is not a neutral point of view. You made the President Obama change before it was reverted back, so your claims are not quite valid. As for your question, Wikipedia is not sponsored by anybody. See who owns Wikipedia. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
