User talk:Bobak: Difference between revisions

You won't have errors like this if you use the DYK nomination template (there are instructions at T:TDYK#Sample DYK suggestion strings and also in the documentation for Template:NewDYKnomination) rather than just copy-and-pasting an older nomination.

Notice

Ok, since you aren't interested in discussing this with me, I have raised the issue at WP:ANI#User:Bobak's block messages. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 23:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK image

Do you have any other images of the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in your collection? I have nominated the new article for DYK using one of your pictures. I'm thinking about a picture with less trees and more fish, even if that means some of the fish is missing. I've found some cool pictures of just the mouth and head on the internet [1] [2]. This angle [3] is pretty nice! This roadside attraction needs to make the main page! I've only been through Hayward once and the big fish is UNFORGETTABLE! Royalbroil 05:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try it with the picture that you have uploaded. I thought I'd give it a try. Cheers! Royalbroil 03:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

5 years

5 year blocks are reserved for open proxies. Other IPs should not be blocked for longer than 12 months. I'd strongly urge you to dial it back to a year. –xeno^talk 20:00, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is reblocking every year really that much of a bother? ( I realize that's most often what occurs ) 1 year is our usual ceiling for these things. –xeno^talk 20:02, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My hope is that in the brief period of time before the annual block is re-applied, there might be a few students who catch the constructive-contributor bug. But a 2 year soft-block with account creation enabled would be OK, I guess - I still think a year without is appropriate (as leaving account creation enabled just gives us a steady stream of VOAs to block). See this recent AN thread to get a gut-check of consensus on this for a very similar situation where I changed a length from 3 years to 1. –xeno^talk 20:11, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(re your comment while I was composing the above) Thank you. –xeno^talk 20:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't personally care whether it's called a Light or a Lighthouse. fWIW, I believe you stepped in to a long standing controversy, and I believe that there had been a prior consensus that is to the contrary.

Thanks! I have a lot more to come from central CA. As for the image: yes, it is a jail --but its a combined jail/sheriff's house. In fact, if you open up the full file size and zoom in on the plaque to the left of the door you'll be able to make out "Jail & Sheriff's Residence". I saw something similar in Cheboygan, MI (see here) and its much more obvious in that structure that it was both. --Bobak (talk) 20:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I don't live out there.

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Bobak,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

Each casebook will have a subpage.

Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 20:21, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need some help

Hi Bobak, since you are the main USC guy on Wikipedia I know that is active in all things USC, I wanted you to take a look at the recent edits of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football rivalries page. Someone from an unregistered IP address keeps reverting the language from "USC" to "Southern California", claiming that USC is never used (however he/she is leaving "USC" in the paragraph in multiple places and only reverting my edits). Moreover, his/her edits are disrupting the reference tags, as he/she is changing the reference names on the tags as if it were regular copy. It is clear this person does not know to properly edit and does not know any of the etiquette of Wikipedia. I would keep posting notices on his/her talk page but it seems pointless. What can be done to stop his/her disruptive editing? Regards. Tedmoseby (talk) 22:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I looked over the situation and completely agree with you. I'm confused as to the motivation of the other party. Interestingly enough, of all the variations, its "Southern Cal" that's considered undesired by the university (I think they got tired of being confused as Cal's southern campus, which was actually what UCLA started as). I've made an edit and a comment that I hope clarifies the situation. If it continues I will add a warning and probably semi-protect the page. --Bobak (talk) 00:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

USC Quarterbacks

Thanks for the praise regarding the USC quarterbacks. I used the media guides from 1984 to the present (except for the couple I don't have) for the starting lineups from game to game. For earlier years, I used the media guides as well but have to rely on the biographies of the returning players. I'll be going through the 'LA Times' archives at some point in the near future and will find more information for that page (and plenty of information for other pages).
