Are websites with Google ads NOT valid resources?

(Re [1]) i also visit About.com which I believe has very valuable information (that is MY opinion only) and it is "plastered" with sponsored links. Are "sponcored links" the same as google ads by wikipedia standards? or does wikipedia believe that ANY site with these types of ads, regardless of the information, research or contribution of user desired information is not worthy of being noted?

Ok, maybe I am being ironic, sorry! but I feel that its kina dumb, I mean even wikipedia asks for money, i personally have a blog (with no ads on it) but its for personal expression only, and i don't put links on wikipedia to it.

personally I felt that Wikipedia should be a source of unbiased, uncensored information as long as there is no advertising (spamming) or garbage. but lets face it, the bios of Warren Bennis, Robin Sharma (books wise), and many others is basic PR. yet it seems to be no problem because people (including myself) are interested. and FYI, i never even heard of Warren Bennis (and many others) before going to the leadership gurus site, but i did appreciate the article on wikipedia about him.

the links i was placing was to a "LIST" of people you already have on wikipedia, PR for them or not, they are on wikipedia already (you can always take them off if you want, that is not my place). and whether the site has google ads or not, personally i don't care, i just like to know stuff like this, and thought others might too. also the idea of voting honestly is turn-on. i have heard about 6 of these guys speak (only one do i know personally, and he is not on wikipedia), some are boring some are exciting

so what do i do now, stand by the sidelines and let people tell me what i can and cannot do? what is right and what is wrong? or should i stand my ground and fight for what i believe in - freedom of information and expression, and the desire to give value to others? and keep on trying to give what i feel is valuable, and that would include an article on Arthur Carmazzi who personally think is a great man (but then again, that is my opinion).

can you please give me some real guidance and not just blow me off like some of the others.

My reply here.

got my account

hi Xenocidic

i got my account. i am passionate about Psychology and how to lead people. i have really learned a lot from these gurus, there books, articles, websites... i want to make a difference. i am still young and have a lot to learn and do in my life, knowledge is hobby and i want to share it. so how? honestly i don't do lots of research and dig deep into stuff myself, thats why i come here and other sites where the research has already been done. for example http://leadershipnow.com it is a commercial site, but it has sooo much great information in it. and it was voted #1 leadership blog of the year in 2008, wouldn't that be something others may be interested in?

in this day and age it is very difficult to separate anything valuable from commercialism, simply because much of the reason people come up with the good stuff is to make money. i personally think that John Maxwell's rank on number 1 is spot on, i heard him speak and the guy is truly a master, but the links go to his commercial AND religious websites. Who says he is the number one, don't know but i do believe. commercial status should that have any relevance in my desire to go to his commercial site to get info.

and in about.com, again, sooo much valuable information. do you know how much time it takes to find these things? it would be so nice if wikipedia could acknowledge that its followers, like me, could go to find lots of information. much of the criteria set seems to be related to historical fact. but new gurus like Maxwell still get the PR and commercial benefit without violation??? not that i am against it, i appreciate the links. just don't think there should be double standards.

as for the 1000 people voting on the bad leader on the leadershipgurus site, now you are being ironic, tisk tisk. i am guessing you read the criteria - http://www.leadershipgurus.net/leadership_award.html

also, what about proven methods like Directive Communication psychology, wildly used in asia, but not in ammerica where most of the wiki editors are, so they don't think its valid because they don't read asian newpapers and media. and they don't even want to look at the proof. i had a bad experience with this.

oh, by the way, i am living in asia, where are you?

also, what does Xenocidic mean?

sorry i rambled. what do you think i should do now?

submitted to the forum

Hi Xeno

submitted to the link you suggested.

beside that, what else can i do. i know a but most of what i know is not my own, it is someone elses ideas like Maxwell or Blanchard...

oh, and you name, not sure if that's good, i mean its strong and all, but what if aliens are not really invading and it just looks like it, then wouldn't it be bad to destroy them? i remember this really old black and white movie, don't remember the name, but it had this giant robot that was like the police for the universe. only remember the earth was saved because the alien got a message to the robot "klitu barata nicto" - do you know that movie? kinda makes you think.

Regarding Username Report for Yougonnagethacked

Hey Xeno, just wondering what your opinion is for a length of time to attempt discussion with a user about a (possibly) inappropriate username? Haven't really done this before, and I would guess that whoever does eventually block would use their judgement, but would like a bit of a ball-park figure for time before I recommend RFCN. Cheers — Relyimah ^(t-c-e) 23:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hrm I'll admit usernames for attention isn't really my area of expertise, but from what I understand if a user isn't actively editing than there's no real cause for concern. If the user doesn't get back to you, and doesn't start editing, I'm not sure that any actions needs to be taken. Though, feel free to seek a second opinion from an admin more active at UAA. –xenocidic (talk) 01:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback -- Username has been blocked anyway — Relyimah ^(t-c-e) 08:01, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Radio Wikipedia Re-Design

Hello Xeno, I, StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign Listen, have redesigned the Radio Wikipedia main page. You may be interested in Wikipedia:Radio_Wikipedia#Staff, as it details Who Reports When? and the current staff. I am sure you already know our uploading instructions, but that is there too. Just so you know:

• Saturday 28 June 2008: Xenocidic
• Sunday 29 June 2008: Red Thunder
• Monday 30 June 2008: StewieGriffin!

And before you reserve Tuesday, we have a new instruction. Anyway, Thanks and I look forward to your episode.

PPS: I would also like to say, we won't use a system like X, RT, SG, X,... instead users will just reserve episodes the previous day.

User page protection

Sorry to trouble you again, but another question (not article related): is there anything to prevent me from getting most of my user pages semi-protected at WP:RFP? I haven't really had anyone vandalize my pages except once or twice a while back, but I don't want my watchlist cluttered by my own user pages and I prefer excess caution over unpreparedness. In other words, is it possible to ask for semi-protection for some of my user pages when there isn't really a serious reason to? -- Comandante {Talk} 21:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure there is no problem semi'ing your pages on request, just provide a list of the one's you want protected and I'll do it for you. You can also think about making a subpage-only changelist as I've done at User:Xenocidic/misc. –xenocidic (talk) 21:47, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Much obliged. Here's the list of all my user pages: [4]. Just protect everything except the sandbox and the two monobook pages. I'll consider the subpage changelist, but I don't think I have enough pages to seriously need it yet. -- Comandante {Talk} 22:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

StatusBot

Hi Xeno, saw this edit. Is there anything I *need* to do? The only reason I'd added Statusbot was because I joined the highly active users project but I've never actually been contacted through that. Is there any other benefit to having on/off line status that I'm missing? It wasn't anything I thought of before the project. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 02:54, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hrm, nope, nothing really that you *need* to do at this time. HAU hasn't set in stone an alternate status display method. The edit summary was just a suggestion on an alternate status method for those that want one. –xenocidic (talk) 02:56, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Your TV should work after the February 2009 switch as long as you some input aside from the bunny ears. If you have Dish 500, DirectTV, etc, you'll be fine. I believe it's just the analog channels coming in over the bunny ears that will cease transmission. Useight (talk) 05:16, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Rpotd nomination

Greetings. On the template issue, perhaps you can help with my nomination of Template:Rpotd. I am somewhat at a loss with what to do with that mess, so the TfD nom was sortof a default action. Any advice would be great. Or you can go ahead and speedy the mess with a bulk tool. =) Thanks. --Thetrick (talk) 15:25, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Yikes - the RPOTD "father" template is linked on a great number of pages. On this one, I'd probably suggest "back away slowly" or "run in the other direction" (read: it can probably be safely ignored; perhaps withdraw the nom?). –xenocidic (talk) 15:32, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

True, it is all over the place (though less than 100 links/transclusions). But the effort seems dead and was non-encyclopedic to begin with. And nobody has complained yet despite the visible nomination warning. Is there a tool that can do bulk moves? If all those RPOTD/xxx templates were in GeorgeMoney's namespace I probably wouldn't have made the nom. --Thetrick (talk) 16:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I think that admins can move all subpages recursively. Let the TFD run I suppose and see what the outcome is. The only problem would be update all the usages, which would be a PITA. It is borderline encyclopedic IMO. –xenocidic (talk) 18:09, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Good point, and thanks for the template. Quite a few of the users seemed either inactive completely, or not active enough to warrant contacting, but I suppose it's only polite. However, if they were created back in 2005/6 it can probably be assumed that they've been forgotten about.

Okay, um, wow. I took a look a Qui and it's actually quite great. It just updates the contents of USERNAME/Status, which is perfect. Had HAU still been using the design I gave it, I would've just set it up myself, but looking at the code at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users/User, a monster has been created. I couldn't figure out how to get the status column working. Is that something you can put into the template? Maybe Cobi? Anyway, if either of you can make the change in the template to have it display the contents of USERNAME/Status, I can message everyone and let them know that Qui is the future of HAU.

• Thanks to the miracle of time travel, I replied in the past, here.
  • Yup, saw that. I found the dashboard in the New Admin School, and plan to use it well. :-) Thanks for the sig recommendation: I didn't realize that I wasn't including it properly.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 00:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Glad you liked my idea. Wow, you support a lot. You must not jump in on many of the snowed RFAs. Useight (talk) 05:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

User:FoamRanger page Deleted

I was referred here after my user page was deleted. I took a nap and it was speedy deleted. I was referred to you in hopes of getting my work back so in the least if my appeal doesn't work I can start in another wiki.

Thank you either way, FoamRanger (talk) 16:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)FoamRanger
