User talk:HiDrNick

HiDrNick!

Yeah, this picture is like 10 years old. Heyo. I’m Nick, a data scientist from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. I had a baby girl about a year ago five years ago (wow, has it been that long?) seven years ago (yikes!) eleven years ago (!!), which had curtailed my on-wiki time severely. I used to spend a lot of time on-wiki removing fair-use galleries from articles, but it seems that the crusade has finally been won, for the most part. Then I would Huggle in my copious free time, and lurk at WP:ANI, WP:RFA, and WP:MFD, where I occasionally chime in. I also enjoy making {{editprotected}} requests on the upcoming blurb for Today’s featured article; it has all of the cheap thrills of seeing your work on the main page, but with none of the grueling work of actually writing an FA. Nowadays, if I'm editing, I was probably reading an article and noticed a quick issue. Let me know if I can help you with anything, and I'll do my best, or point you in the direction to someone who can. Please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~). Place comments that start a new topic at the bottom of the page by starting a new thread, using a descriptive header. Please link usernames and page tiles. I will normally answer on this page, and ping you on your talk page as well. For the record, I'm not a real doctor, but I am a real Nick.

Huggle User Category

Hi there. I have seen that you use huggle by the fact that you have automatically updated the huggle white list(it does this when closing huggle). I was wondering if you would add the category [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to your user page so that it fills out and we know who actually uses huggle. If you do not want to you do not have to. I am also sorry if i have already talked to you about this or you no longer use huggle but i sent it to everyone that has edited the page since mid January. I hope we can start to fill out this category. If you would like to reply to this message then please reply on my talk page as i will probably not check here again. Thanks. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 18:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there.You are receiving this message from me as you have not added your huggle category correctly. At the moment on category here you can see that you are sorted under the letter U. To fix this please change the [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle|YOURNICKNAMEHERE]]. This will fix the problem. If you do not change this within a few days then i will do this for you but i would prefer to send you a message like this than just go and change your page.

There is no reason to mark them for del you just are doing it because I am new at this. All of these drink companies are important the energy drink company is the only one in the world like it and the beer company is the only working one based in Alabama it looks like you just like to put thinks on real / imported info that means to me you don’t do your research before and that make you and others like you look a kid I am new at this and this is hard for me to do. I worked over 8hr on the energy drink today it would be nice if you would help people like me. I know the owners and they are good people that is how I I have the info on the companies.

DEL

Who is the one that make the decision and why two of them have been up for about a year why now? Because I am doing more work. PAT —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pat Long (talk • contribs) 08:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion discussions usually run for about a week and are decided upon by an experienced user called an administrator. You are allowed to improve the articles while the discussion is going on, but please don't remove the notice from the top of the pages that tell other editors about the discussion. The easiest way to show that this article should stay in Wikipedia is to find news stories about the company or the product and show us where they can be found online. If no news sources have written about the company yet, there's no way for us to tell if everything in the article is just made up or not, so we will probably delete it. On the other hand, if you can find several articles about the company or it's product, the article may be kept. One way or the other, I will not make the decision. Good luck. ➪HiDrNick! 08:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Final Notice - VIOLATION of Wikipedia rules.

With all due respect, adding appropiate and legitimate links to wikipedia articles is a clear right of every user. I am deeply saddened that there are individuals within the Wikipedia community threatening to ban my posts, given my proof that my additions are in fact legitimate. I will be contacting Wikipedia's organizers with a formal complaint should your threats be honored. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmatadeen (talk • contribs) 04:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

My request for bureaucratship

Dear Nick, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 13:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion to a legitimate edit

Alas, sir, by the preceding posts on your page it appears that you have deleted edits by others who claim them to be legitimate as well. (See edit history on my "Ginger Kids" article edit.) Although I appreciate your vigilance in trying to keep articles pure of inappropriate content, you should not go overboard and simply blacklist good-faith edits as "unconstructive" or "vandalism" without discussing why the edit doesn't belong. Even if an edit doesn't belong, i.e. is not "notable", it is not necessarily in the same category as spamming/vandalism. That's my spiel. Wykypydya (talk) 03:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure. The edit you are referring to was in fact not constructive, which is exactly what the template said about it. The template does not say anything about vandalism. Disambiguation pages are not intended to list every article containing the disambiguation term. No one expects that a user who searches for the term "Ginger" is actually expecting to see the page about that particular episode of a television show. Dab pages loose their navigation utility as more and more cruft is added to them. ➪HiDrNick! 03:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

That has to be the most unconventional reasoning I have ever seen about why to exclude something from a disambiguation page -- I have always thought that disambiguation pages admit all pertinent articles and it has nearly always been my experience that disambiguation pages contain as many pertinent references as editors can think of. Also, it has happened on many occasions that I would look for a very specific instance about a certain encyclopedia topic, and it wasn't listed in the disambiguation page, and I was quite frustrated yet took the initiative to add it myself, or on the converse (this situation), I would find an article that is not referenced by its disambiguation page and improve it that way, or inversely, that I did find something very specific in the disambig and it was quite helpful.

Could you perhaps cite a Wikipedia guideline that makes that recommendation? Maybe there has been some kind of new decision I don't know about. (They tend to change sometimes.) --Wykypydya (talk) 03:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

They are a moving target, that's for sure. WP:DAB has some info about what not to include in disambiguation pages. In this instance, I think that "partial title matches" applies. There's also a section of the manual of style linked from there as well.

It's not a black and white issue though, by any means, and I do tend to get in a hurry when reverting--it's part of the whole nature of keeping up with the changes. I assure you though, most of the people further on up the page are spammers and cranks.  :-P I know that you were editing in good faith, and a "warning", however worded, is bothersome. ➪HiDrNick! 04:03, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, you're thinking of semi-protection, which prevents anonymous users from editing the page. I've requested that that protection be removed from the Zac Efron page, it's been there for much too long. Generally administrators will only semi-protect a page that has had very heavy vandalism, and then only for a short time. It looks like this one was just overlooked. ➪HiDrNick! 04:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Spider Solitaire

Hi Dr. Nick:

Thanks [?] for the "edit war warning". If you would kindly take a minute to check the discussion page for Spider Solitaire, you'll see that there is an ongoing discussion as to whether it is appropriate to include links at the end of the article leading to non-commercial sites to play the games. I looked around Wikipedia yesterday and there are such links on literally dozens of Wikipedia pages to other games (Dominoes, Reversi, Canasta, Minesweeper, Pac-Man, and so on). If I am to be "warned" for restoring the links, is it not "fair" also to "warn" those who delete them??? An "edit war" takes two parties and it isn't right to disable the editing of only one side. Wikipedia needs to set a clear rule and have it be applied consistently across the board in such cases. In the absence of a clear rule, I think I have every right to restore the links any time anyone else deletes them. Thanks. If you want to email me, do so at dslsca@hotmail.com 206.74.61.67 (talk) 14:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk. Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 14:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

HiDrNick: Now that I am permitted to be back on Wikipedia, I can respond to you. Your message on my talk page was offensive. To encourage me to register and help rid Wiki pages of the kind of links you know I support is condescending. You seem more interested in having your own point of view carry the day than you do in engaging in productive discussion (or else you would not have blocked me). Obviously two more Wiki-users have "reverted" the links since you pompously declared the debate over; this indicates to me that the debate continues. I believe I have every right to participate in it. Since such links to play the games are found on the VAST MAJORITY of game pages with no controversy whatsoever, it is inappropriate to make Spider Solitaire an exception, even if you are right about the question. Please don't block me again; you've reverted the pages just as often as I have and you wouldn't want to be blocked, would you? Perhaps the "golden rule" could apply here? I.e., don't block me for doing the same exact thing you are doing yourself! BTW, I AM a real doctor. Folks who pretend to have my hard-earned degree by calling themselves "doctor" are simply misrepresnting themselves in a way akin to lying. Since you were kind enough to give me the "step away from the dead horse" message, I'll respond in turn: Don't be a dick. 206.74.61.67 (talk) 18:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I am not an administrator, so I could not block you even if I wanted to. Your block log shows that you have been blocked twice for spamming, once recently by Orangemike (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), and in November by KnowledgeOfSelf (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA). If you feel you block was not supported by our policies, you can air your grievances with them, although I assure you it was. It is clear from your contributions history that you've been attempting to spam these links from some time. If you do not stop, eventually the page may be semi-protected, will will prevent unregistered editors from editing the page in any way at all, or the link may be added to the local spam blacklist which will prevent any user from including it in a page at all.

As for my username, if you fell that it's inappropriate, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names is down the hall and to the left. Knock yourself out. ➪HiDrNick! 20:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

ST47 and page protection

Please see here. Is the page unprotection enough, or do you want further assurances from ST47? Carcharoth (talk) 19:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I wash my hands of the nonsense. The use of passive verbs in the action summary "(...disputes which caused protection...") makes ST47's position on the matter crystal clear. He still obviously feels that his action was appropriate, and Arbcom isn't going to tell him otherwise (that would require doing something about something, which seems outside of the Arbcom remit lately). Any attempt to force the issue is futile. The Arbitration Committee is obviously disinterested in actually doing anything to resolve this or nearly any other problem coming out of this case, or really any other case for that matter. I'm done worrying about this particular issue.

3RR and BLP

Hi! I've just got back from a delightful holiday in war-torn Sarajevo (!) and came across your concern that my removal of the "news" of Penelope Wilton's and Elizabeth Sladen's casting on a TV program didn't constitute a violation of WP:BLP. I took a look at the policy, and it says the following: Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced; the three-revert rule does not apply to such removals. Since Ms Sladen is alive - or was before I went on holiday... - and the information appears to have been unsourced, I genuinely don't understand how it fails the sentence I quoted above.

The only subjective part of the rule seems to be whether or not information is "contentious"; in the past, casting on Doctor Who has been a hot issue... Christopher Eccleston stormed out of a charity event after someone even mentioned the program to him - so I considered that putting actors in the article without reliable sources was iffy. Any thoughts? —TreasuryTag—t—c 16:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

There is a conflict regarding a known fake quote being cited as a real quote on a few Wikipedia pages. One instance of the quote can be found at the fifth bulleted quote here. It states:

The objective [of the Wedge Strategy] is to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence of God. From there people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus.'

I discovered reliable sources here and here that show the quote to be phony. I attempted to remove the falsely attributed quotes and cited those sources, but I now find myself falsely "reported" (read: "threatened") by Orangemarlin as a vandal. Again, actually, since he falsely accused me of the same before. Orangemarlin has also reverted the edits and refused to respond to my inquiries why, simply deleting my questions as supposedly "uncivil." 67.135.49.116 (talk) 05:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
