Your Jennifer O'Neill edit

Hi....yes, her CoverGirl spanned more than the 1970s, I know that, in fact it was over 30 years as pointed out lower down in the article that I was able to find the Smithsonian citation and put it in there. In fact she is probably known more for that than for her films.

Also, anyway, her role in that '42 film was not really nor exactly "pivotal", she was a protagonist actually and had a "starring" role. I think you should revert to "starring" IMHO.  :)

The placement of the intro where you put it, however, is just great. I was going to put it there, but did not know how to do it.....  :)

Taninao0126 (talk) 14:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

OK -- I'm not that familiar with the film. But reading the synopsis, it seems that the building tension and eventual sexual encounter between Hermie and Dorothy (O'Neill's character) is the central story of the film, which would make her role pivotal. If you prefer the word "starring" instead, I won't argue with that. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:08, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

My reply: Okay.....Wow...if you ever get a chance to actually see that movie, DON'T pass it up. It is REALLY good, "an oldie but a goodie" and a favorite in the home entertainment market. She tells in her bio how men on the production set cried when seeing the finale film takes.....  :) Taninao0126 (talk) 15:16, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I've seen it, but it was probably 25 or 30 years ago when I did, so my memory of it is not that fresh! Thanks for the recommendation! WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:19, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Naruto-Arena

You were question if Naruto-Arena has reached 3,000,000 players? Go here: http://naruto-arena.com/the-basics/ This is their website. Then on the left hand side next to the poll votes; you will see a list of members. Look at the sites members.

Members: Total members: 3,358,578 <--- See... — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArchAngelSephiroth (talk • contribs) 17:54, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

A website's own "member list" is not a valid citation for the number of members. It would be a simple enough thing for the webmasters to generate a slew of false accounts simply to make the site look more impressive. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:59, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Naruto-Arena.

Dan, the site generator is 100% correct. The game has three millions users. When you look at all country ladders and add them up you can clearly tell it's accurate. Also, when you create a new accounts the ID matches the current automatic generator for the site. Please reconsider; all my sites are accurate. Please stop removing what I put up. If I post something that a moderator said, then you should accept it. The head admin of Naruto-Arena said, "Anything a moderator says or any rule he makes; is official; and will be followed by others."

So I private message or something a moderator said is substantial proof and a valid cite. --ArchAngelSephiroth (talk) 00:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Actually, a private message between you and the site moderator is not a valid citation. Please refer to WP:RS. And the material you posted amounted to a users manual for the site, which is not Wikipedia's purpose. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 03:25, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: Dan, what if I let you talk to Naruto-Arena's, Co-Owner? He will tell you the facts. And hopefully; you'll reconsider. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArchAngelSephiroth (talk • contribs) 12:47, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

That's not how Wikipedia works. Private communications between individuals cannot be held up for public scrutiny for verification. Any fact in Wikipedia must be verifiable by any editor who chooses to do so. Which means that the facts must be available in publicly available sources -- books, newspapers, magazines, journal articles, reliable websites. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:41, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: So what are you asking of me? I've already posted things that the creator themselves put out, like: What Naruto-Arena is, the community, the peope, account statistics, swapping, etc. These are all true to the website. Also, it does have 3,000,000 players. It a very notable website. Most accounts are inactive though, however, that does not change the facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArchAngelSephiroth (talk • contribs) 14:22, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Clearly you are failing to understand. Anything that the site creator writes about the site is not a valid source because the site creator cannot be counted on to be neutral and unbiased about his own site. Citations must come from independent sources, like magazine articles about the site, or independent websites that have reviewed this site. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:28, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: So I'll just retrieve some site reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArchAngelSephiroth (talk • contribs) 10:57, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Kaluk, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Himalayan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

hello dan

my name is adi, under the user name adichemoul it's the third time i'm writing an article under the name TolunaQuick, and i don't understand why other similar sites like mine are allowed to write more "freely" content about there site and nobody is erasing there articles, my last article was just two rows with facts. i read all the guides and articles about writhing NPOV. am i missing something here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adichemoul (talk • contribs) 12:57, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi dan first of all thank you for the super quick answer, I appreciate it. one more question, every description of my site will sound and look like promotional content.. what can i do ? and were can i try to see if it's ok with you?

again thanks adi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adichemoul (talk • contribs) 13:06, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Adi,

I didn't answer your first question, so I'm not sure what you mean by my "super quick answer". However, to answer you now, you appear to be operating under a misconception about what Wikipedia is (and more importantly, what Wikipedia is not). Other articles about various websites have not been created by the sites' owners -- that would be a conflict of interest. Rather they have been created (or at least extensively edited) by other editors, relying on reliable, independent sources to verify the information contained in the articles. Notable organizations and websites have been the subject of multiple independent coverage from which editors can draw neutral information about the organizations.

Because you claim that the TolunaQuick site is yours, you are not the best person to write about it (that whole conflict of interest thing). And because none of the articles you have submitted have included any citations to the aforementioned reliable sources, editors are forced to conclude that your site may not be notable enough to have received significant coverage, so there is no independent source from which to draw content. I.e., the company is not really a valid subject for a Wikipedia article.

Not every organization or website merits a Wikipedia article. If there is something unique about TolunaQuick, that has been documented in independent sources (e.g. reviews, magazine articles, etc.), then you would do well to indicate that unique character, and provide a valid citation.

I note that you have a current AFC request open. I would suggest that you take any advice I have given you here and apply it to that request. If you can more credibly assert the notability of the website, the AFC may stand a better chance. But again, keep in mind the conflict of interest rules -- your own closeness to the subject may blind you to your own biases when writing about the service.

WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:41, 14 February 2012 (UTC) Hi dan thanks for this answer... probably there was a misunderstanding, the site is not mine and i'm not working for him, so there isn't any conflict of interest, this site is just an example. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adichemoul (talk • contribs) 14:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Forgive my confusion. Your original question above included the phrase "i don't understand why other similar sites like mine", so I naturally assumed that the TolunaQuick site was yours. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

thanks again ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adichemoul (talk • contribs) 14:25, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Pickaway-Ross CTC edits

Thank you. As you can see, this is my first time writing to Wikipedia, so I am eager to learn.

I did want to add some information to our Adult Ed section that we also provide consulting services to business and industry, but I understand if this is too promotional.

Please let me know.

Regards,

Jeff — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeffPhillips39 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Jeff, I noticed that your name matches the name of one of the staff at the school, so I'm going to go out on a limb (not so very far) and guess that you work for PRCTC? That being the case, please acquaint yourself with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Remember, Wikipedia is not a services directory, and is not meant to promote your school. Keep your tone neutral, and cite reliable sources. Just because you know a lot about the school, your personal knowledge must be verifiable by others.

I thought I followed the guidelines for my changes to be acceptable. I just want to create a page that is more descriptive. What can I do? NYRP (talk) 16:45, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Given your username, and the obvious conflict of interest that it represents, you should limit your interaction on this article to the talk page, where you could suggest improvements to the page based on recent events. (Links to news coverage or other reliable sources for such events would help greatly.) The language you used in your updates is distinctly non-neutral, and reads too much like a press release for the organization. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:50, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

hi dan

i asked you several of questions about a web site that i want to write a wiki value for the lasy question you didn't respond should i ask someone else? thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adichemoul (talk • contribs) 10:14, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Adi -- I'm sorry I didn't respond. I assumed that since you received a response to you "Articles for Creation" submission that you would have had sufficient feedback on your article. To summarize what I and others have told you, the article on the TolunaQuick service does not indicate that the service is notable by showing evidence that the service has received significant coverage in multiple independent sources. If you can address that issue, please do so. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:10, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

As may be, but things "coming down the pipeline" have not yet happened, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. When (if) this group becomes notable, they may merit an article. But probably not yet. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:19, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

European_Low_Gravity_Research_Association (copyright)

Hello, This is about the suspected copyright violation in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Low_Gravity_Research_Association#History Indeed I (the author) am a member of the management committee of ELGRA and the website is also maintained by the committee. How can we resolve this copyright issue ? Thank you. Thomas pod (talk) 18:42, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

You can either re-write the section in your own words so as not to constitute a copyright violation, or you can follow the instructions at WP:Donating copyrighted materials to allow Wikipedia to use the text verbatim. (Note that if you do so, the text becomes public domain, for anyone to use in any manner they wish.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:45, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

So now should I just wait, or directly replace on the original page to resolve the issue ? Sorry, I am a beginner ;-) Thomas pod (talk) 14:05, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

You should just wait. The process calls for an administrator to review your rewrite to see if it properly addresses the problem. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:52, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean you have updated the information? You (nor anyone else) have not made any changes to the article since I tagged it for speedy deletion. What makes this band "important"?

I see from your talk page that the article has been deleted before. I suppose that's what you mean by "updated". In any case, the article still does not give any assertion that this band passes any of the criteria for inclusion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
