User talk:Who then was a gentleman?/Archive 1

Template:1911 talk

Can you take a look at my user page? I put the article about "The Roundball Classic" that I was going to submit. Is there any reason that it would likely be deleted? I've read and educated myself quite a bit on writing and editing articles. It is quite enjoyable. I believe that I have done a good job following advice. I would like it to be under the link "Roundball Classic" as you had suggested. So, if I hit "create this page" on the "Editing Roundball Classic page" and save the article, that will make a Wikipedia link? Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure what happened to my article on The Roundball Classic. You wrote "Your test on the page Template:Sport-event-stub worked, so it has been reverted or removed." Does that mean that it was deleted or is it under review? I have a lot of primary source references that I've included, some of which can be directly accessed on the internet. I have worked in the Sandbox and edited. Do I no longer have access to my article, or will it be reviewed and put back up? Shermanfolks (talk) 01:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

The template will be deleted as soon as I orphaned it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:04, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem. The procedure I'll follow is the same: First ensure that for all talk pages with the 1911 talk template the corresponding article has the 1911, then remove the 1911 talk template from all talk pages and then delete it. The procedure will finish in the next 24 hours. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

If I am not able to watch the Oscars on TV tonight ... and I am also not able to record the show (by DVD, DVR, VHS, etc.) ... is there anywhere on the Internet that I can actually watch the telecast at some later time?

I didn't make the original edit. :) I simply restored one I had previously removed because I found a source. You can change it to whatever you'd like. :) --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 07:24, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. I will say, though, that if you go by DialIdol (which is extremely accurate), Sarver and Desai were indeed going for that next slot. Gokey won by a clear margin. See here. So I'm with ya on removing the fact (since we don't have a foolproof source on it), but it's probably accurate. --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 07:30, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

not to be a jerk

Not to be a jerk but I asked to use the "copyrighted" text for the page as it is a good example of Fretlight's history. I had to edit it to remove "advertising langue which took sometime. Why would you delete the page and delete it from my talk page. All you had to do was talk to me and the I could have added "used with permission" to it but now i have to reedit and remake the entire page. Thanks. If you know a how to get it back so I can add one line to it I would appreciate the HELP.

Sorry to say, but I can't vouch for the site as this is the first I've seen it. (But obviously any printed source is going to be considered more "reliable" here than any Internet source, issues of being current aside...) For what it's worth, the page seems to have loaded completely in my browser (through #824, who acceded in January). Maybe trying another browser would let it load for you? - Nunh-huh 23:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Stop cyberbullying

Hi. I removed the CSD tag on the Stop cyberbullying article. To be honest I think the article did assert, to my eyes at any rate, notability, especially as the organisations's formation was as a consequence of the high-profile Megan Meier case. That said, I am not entirely convinced of the independent notability of the organization and the article might (possibly) be merged to either Cyber-bullying or Megan Meier. Anyway, just letting you know. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 08:19, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

re: Linda Christian

Since you're new here, I'll point you to WP:AGF. It was late and I misread a paragraph in the article when I was removing the statement, the wording of which seemed to promote the book Hollywood Babylon, sourced with a link to a site which is a blogspot page used to denigrate and debunk the book. I read the two oddly phrased paragraphs incorrectly:

“ Her younger sister, the late Ariadna Welter (1930-1998), was a well-known actress in the Mexican cinema. Her most celebrated role was as 'Carlota Cervantes' in Luis Buñuel's 'Ensayo de un Crimen' (The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz) in 1955. Ariadna continued to appear in movies and on soap operas in Mexico in her later years until her death in 1998.

Christian's autobiography, Linda, was published in 1962. Her death was covered in Hollywood Babylon 2.

”

The last sentence says that Christian's death was covered in the book. I removed that statement as the offending one and glanced up to see the "death in 1998" and mistakenly thought it confirmed her death.

Now here's the part where good faith comes in - you assumed I was pushing that she died and posted a direct note to me in the edit summary. That's extremely poor, and certainly not being a gentleman. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Then by all means, take from this that it is rather rude to post direct messages to an editor in an edit summary, and it is more productive to remove the erroneous entry in a project banner than to remove everything that was added that is relevant.

Armenians

Based on my own personal knowledge, the number is somewhere near 8-9 million, but definitely not 10. However, taking my word at face value would be original research, not that the anon who changed it to 10 used reliable sources himself. If you check what he/she cited, they're not really authoritative nor do they say what he claims (at least the URLs don't). If I were you I'd find a reliable source that backs up the real figure, and then revert the anon's edits on other pages. Khoikhoi 02:06, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

RE: Edit Summaries

Confusion about David Gray?

After having checked iTunes, it seemed there was no album / EP called "iTunes Originals". However, there was a live EP, Live from London. I think the original writer was mistaken and therefore I corrected it.

Unit371 (talk) 01:56, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Because of the confusion, I had changed the title on the main David Gray page as well, so that it would coincide with the "sub-page"of the EP (naturally!).

I got your message about this confusion whilst editing everything and before I had the chance to even finish it.

Unit371 (talk) 10:10, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, apologies accepted. Sorry on my part as well, people on Wikipedia just tend to come across as quite berating. But I'm getting the hang of the interface on here and some of the basic rules etc. so I'm sure I'll do better in the future... ;o) Anyhoo, the confusion has been cleared up now.

Speedy tagging of Prince Remigius Jerry Kanagarajah

Where is the AFD that this was previously deleted under? I couldn't find any for any reasonable version of the article's title, nor were there any deletions at the current title. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know; it's very different from the version that was deleted, mainly by actually making claims of notability (which probably don't hold any water). I would still decline to delete it, but I doubt it would survive a new AFD, based on what I see on Google. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

CBPA and CSDs

Hi. I was Huggling (still new at it) and noticed CBPA appear with a WP:CSD#G7 and it had a {{hangon}} on it. What confuses me is that according to the page history, it looks like the user added the hangon tag, then the CSD (with no reason), then the CSD with the G7 reason, and then removed the CSD tag. Am I totally confused about this or is the user? And, if the user added the CSD tag to the article, can't the user also delete it? It's not like anyone else added it and the person is removing someone else's tag. I'm asking as a matter of learning the policies, not out of any interest in this particular article. Thanks! —Willscrlt ( “Talk” ) 07:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah. Thanks. I get it. It was deleted, he recreated it, added the hangon tag as requested, then put the CSD tag back, then removed the CSD tag (incorrectly). Got it. Thanks. Without being able to see the prior deletion, the whole thing made no sense. But, hypothetically speaking, if there was no prior deletion… just a user adding a G7 to a page they created, they could remove it without problem if they were the only editor involved, right? On a user page, I'd say that's a no-brainer, but on an article page nothing is a no-brainer. :-) —Willscrlt ( “Talk” ) 07:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Anyway

We tried to add biographical information about a few notable residents of our small town and were shot down. We surrender. Clearly Wikipedia is not the place for us to share the noteworthily accomplishments of those highly regarded individuals from non-metropolitan areas of our great nation. Our local wikipedia committee will disband having learned that there are a few individuals in control of what is and isn't published on wikipedia regardless of fact. We thought the mission of an online, free encyclopedia would be to bring otherwise scarce but fully factual information to anyone. We sincerely apologize - The experience has been, to say the least, disappointing while reaffirming belief that there are increasingly few people in this world interested in doing, or willing to do the right thing.

We post this on your talk page because of the reasonableness of your comments in hope that you may reconsider deleting our current and future articles, but with some confidence that we have failed the opportunity to bring truth about our community to to Wikipedia's users. --RealReview (talk) 22:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Master of Illusion

Listing it for deletion is nothing less than pointless. There's nothing that CAN be said, as all most people know is the name, which is why the redirect exists. It may not have content, but will. It was just announced, and suddenly jumping on the redirect seconds after its creation is on the "no-no" list for deletion. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 01:53, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Ugh... how is it nonsensical?

Why wiki source?

Thanks for your comment. I thought about doing it with references to the relevant sections of the vehicle code that are currently quoted, but that would make it more difficult to follow and understand. What is the purpose of the quote template if not for this type of use? --Born2cycle (talk) 07:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Can you please identify the policy or guideline that says quotes need to be only one or two lines? Books and articles on this topic (bicycling and the law) follow the same format used in this WP article, where the law being discussed is quoted in full. --Born2cycle (talk) 07:39, 28 May 2009

Okay, thanks. I understand your concern. But I believe this is a special case, where the "quotes" (the relevant sections from the vehicle code) are the topics covered in the article. The "meat" of the article is still the article text, but each section in the article refers to one or more sections of the vehicle code. It seems appropriate to fully quote the particular law being discussed, especially offset within the quote template, but certainly paring each down to only what is essential can be done. Please judge the appropriateness of these quotes by reading the article, rather than just glancing at it. Although it says it's under construction, that mostly means there are more sections to be added, and maybe a few more references, but what's there so far should be more or less complete for that part of it. I would like to resolve this sooner rather than later because it has been a lot of work so far, and there is a lot of work left, and I would hate to go through all this and have it all undone. --Born2cycle (talk) 19:30, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

You quoted from WP:QUOTE: " Wikipedia is not a list or repository of loosely associated topics such as quotations. A simple list of quotations would be better suited for our sister project, Wikiquote." Fine. That article is not a list or repository of loosely associated quotations. The quotations are very closely associated. Nor is it "a simple list of quotations". I fail to see the relevance of that quote to this article. Is there a problem that I'm not seeing? --Born2cycle (talk) 19:40, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Salt on the way.

I think this nice person has earned a permanent vacation as well. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:11, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Up

Hmmm didnt realize Up (film) redirects there, Probably due to it being the mainsream search since the other films are older. Quick read of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) explains that disambiguating films of the same name, the year of its first public release should follow in its article name. So long as there is no risk of ambiguity or confusion with another existing Wikipedia article the film could just take its name, but in this case theres two others in 76 and 84. Hope that helps any Ottawa4ever (talk) 22:39, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

There is already an Up (disambiguation) page. However guidlines say nothing against making one specifically for the films See WP:DDAB. Ottawa4ever (talk) 22:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

One does not need an source for what is blatantly self-evident in a movie. Nightscream (talk) 01:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

One does what if one has no source for it? Nightscream (talk) 01:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Not for information that is so obviously and clearly self-evident. Jimmy Wales himself has stated this, in a recent discussion on WP:V that I participated in with him:

“ I think balance is needed, and that in the case of negative information, your approach is one that I would strongly support. In other cases, I think it is ok to do what you are doing, but not if it's an ongoing extreme campaign that annoys people without purpose....I don't agree with those who would argue that every single thing in Wikipedia must have a source. It is desirable to source everything, but some things are simply common knowledge to the point that demanding a source (or else removing it) is just WP:POINT. ”

I understand that you're new here. That's cool. (Welcome to Wikipedia, btw!) But one does not need a source to describe a Doberman Pinscher in a film as a Doberman Pinscher. It's taking WP:V to simply perverse levels. Unless you think Alpha's breed is up for interpretation or disagreement, it's perfectly fine for the article to describe him as such. Nightscream (talk) 01:39, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Right. And what is contentious about describing Alpha as a Doberman? Who would mind? Alpha? Pixar? John Lasseter? :-)

As for Dug, well, I'm not a breed expert, but I think his appearance is far more subject to interpretation, because he has a generic look that fits many breeds, including GR's. But Dobermans? They're so clearly distinctly identified. Nightscream (talk) 01:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Florida Whig Party

Although after Blanchardb's restoration I reverted the article back to a previous version without the copyvio, I support having the article as a redirect. It probably would not survive AfD, despite my efforts to locate sources. The talk page on the redirect should still retain my discussion on that matter. Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:02, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't mean we needed to keep it persay, I meant that the discussion was probably still there. ;) Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:09, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

She was coming around, but I don't want to second-guess the deciding individual. Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

While such arguments don't defeat deletion in AfD, it is important to note that we *do* have articles for state parties of the Democrat and Republican parties, and so the most important concern must be that the sourcing isn't there, not that this is a state party division of the main party. At this time, the sources just aren't there, so a standalone article isn't merited. When the sources appear, then we can discuss whether a state party should have an article distinct from the main party article. Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:23, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Also important to note that with a little source fixing, all the important content from the article in question already exists in the main article. Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:26, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

The article keeps being restored. I'm right on the edge with the sources on this one. You might want to chime in on the talk page if you have any insight. Jo7hs2 (talk) 11:14, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

You know what... Why not revert the edit, and list at AfD? I'm leaning towards inclusion, and I would rather have this decided by consensus. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:03, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and revert it. Feel free to list for AfD, I'll willingly participate in that discussion. Jo7hs2 (talk) 18:07, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't think you were being uncivil. I felt I was once or twice, and I'm concerned about how little cross-communication occurred during the situation, that's all. Jo7hs2 (talk) 19:25, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
