== U2 Streets ==

<Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Where the Streets Have No Name.>

Respectfully, I am not introducing incorrect information.

The U2 Streets page currently has plenty of incorrect and unreferenced information. Thats why I spent some time clarifying.
If there is something you feel is incorrect in my edit, I would be happy to help clarify further.
Please let me know what you think is incorrect.
Thank you

Thank you

Thank you for the invitation to the Vancouver cleanup. I'll try to help out as I can. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:37, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise. I can't give a firm time commitment, but I do have the page watchlisted (but of course...) and am always reviewing changes. Cheers, and thanks for taking this on. --Ckatzchatspy 08:33, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vancouver

Please see Vancouver-talk re date format --JimWae (talk) 01:07, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JimWae. I posted a reply on the discussion. Mkdwtalk 01:12, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you want, you can leave the images to me, considering I don't have much knowledge to help with much else... :P In some cases (for example, images with extreme pixel aspect ratios) it's a good idea to force image sizes, and we may do that at the end, but generally it's best to leave them alone (especially as the ridiculously tiny 180px default is due to be boosted to a much better 220px any time now, and such sizes override user preferences to make them as tiny or honkin' as they want.) A new recommendation for images per WP:FA? is the addition of alt text for disabled readers; I've added and restored some rough alt text that probably needs some massaging, but at the minimum User:Eubulides generally helps with that at FAC so it's not as huge a concern as other issues with the article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 23:10, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You link to it like any other file; it automatically takes the commons file if there's not en.wp file with the same name. That said I doubt there will be any copyright issues, but I need to check the images in the article for proper copyright info. The image you mentioned should be fine since it's verified, the only issue is that the original source is now dead (shouldn't be an issue, like I said.) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 01:24, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for the welcome and some good places to start trying to understand both the larger Wikipedia culture and your goals of cleaning up the article on Vancouver and having it accepted as a featured article. I'll keep immersing myself in the criteria for featured article status as well as the style guidelines and hopefully I'll be able to contribute constructively to your project. Anyway, I really appreciate the time you and your team are taking to make changes to the article. And thanks again for the welcome! --Sherwin55 (talk) 18:48, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vancouver map

Hiya Mkdw, no problem and no offense taken. Looking back at them, I kind of agree with you, the maps are not great at small scale, and my attempts to "pick colours that go together" may have been doomed from the start due to my utter lack of artistic taste ;). Thanks for making the effort to fix the Vancouver article, it was sad to see it demoted like that. TastyCakes (talk) 15:57, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vancouver demographics

I wish you luck with Operation Schadenfreude‎. I am too (real life) busy right now to help in a meaningful way but I will be back in January to see what is happening. I have some comments, though, that may be helpful:

  • The Demographics section concentrates too much on ethnicities. Demographics should include other aspects, like age distribution, household sizes, and other stats/trends like incomes, education levels, dwelling types, etc.
  • The Demographics should go with a graph to illustrate the population growth, not the table of numbers. This should be a Wikipedia:Summary style of Demographics of Vancouver, so the raw data should be in the sub-article and the summarizing (easy to understand) graph should be in the main article.
  • The Policing sub-section is probably too long, and I don't think some of it is appropriate. Real policing statitics are here, and specifically here and regionally here. --maclean (talk) 23:38, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just to note re your point one that this is a common obsession across Canadian demographics articles and sections. US towns and cities by comparison have the full breakdown, though they tend to give the racial statistics rather than ethnicity/visible minority; but they always have income, family, households etc...sometimes it's absurd, with percentages given for places with only 100 people or less (rather than actual number of heads). One person becomes 2.2% and so on...age/employment/income are "core demographics" and yeah, me too, I've got a lot going in real life so can't dedicate the time to any of this (or any of fifty other potential projects in wikipedia), but just adding the two bits about these issues not being limited to the Vancouver article and its subordinate demographics page; similarly sections like economy/industry could be more seriously treated, also.Skookum1 (talk) 02:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
By "seriously treated" I don't mean in an anti-frivolous sense, but in terms of "a serious treatment" with more cites and better economic history and so on; much of the rest of the page reads liek travelogue, but the economy section (and some of the history section) is just a disjointed assemblage; with no figures, also, in re what we expect/assume with demographics; economics is ultimately about data; I'll maybe work up that section a bit, unfortunately without line/page cites as my old library is back in BC (I'm in NS), so over time I'll try and do what I can using what's available on-line; the economic material is related to the democgraphics data on employment/income/assets of course....some description of the industrial tax base, commercial tax base and residential tax base (i.e. where the revenue comes from, and which parts of the city provide it), is all part of the picture; maybe that all belongs on Economy of Vancouver though, rather than here where a precis is needed...Skookum1 (talk) 02:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds great. I'm glad I roped you into it them. =) Mkdwtalk 17:09, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't touched the demographics section since its a mess. I did remove the graph in place for a table since the graph was actually incorrect when I measured it to the statistics. Also, other cities have opted for a table over a graph, and since those graphs were taking up an entire section of the article that was unsightly, I just moved and was hoping to leave it to someone else for the demographics seciton hehe. I'm looking at you guys as I also think it focuses far too much on the population elasticities over the huge amount of other information that is supposed to be included in demographics.

A piano keyboard encompassing 1 octave Hello, Mkdw! This is just a note thanking you for participating in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with a total of 93 support !votes, 1 oppose and 3 editors remaining neutral.

Re, change,

In regards to this edit, if you took the time to read my edit summary, you would see that I was deleting unsourced information. We here at wikipedia, as I'm sure you know with your 9k+ edits, do not publish original thought or research. I have corrected the grammar, so please, next time you revert someone, try reading what precisely they did, along with their edit summary. You reverted with the AGF link, but you didn't even bother to AGF yourself.— dαlus Contribs 23:07, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daedalus969, I reviewed your comments and see my error. I apologize for my haste. Mkdwtalk 18:41, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FA-Team revival

I've made a proposal to bring the FA-Team out of inactivity—with a mission a bit different than we're used to. This is just a generic note I'm sending to members asking for their input. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 01:31, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request an account

I am formally applying for an account at the Internal Account Creator, request an account tool server. Mkdwtalk 22:07, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for applying to access the account creation tool. I have approved your request so welcome to the team. You may now access the tool here. Before you do so, please read the tool's guide to familiarize yourself with the process. You may also want to join #wikipedia-en-accounts on IRC where a bot informs us when new account requests come in as well as the mailing list.
Currently you are allowed to create up to six accounts per day (a day being from 0:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC), although you won't be able to create an account with a similar name to that of another user; these requests are marked "Account Creator Needed". However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at WP:PERM.
Please keep in mind that the ACC tool is a powerful program, and misuse may result in your access being suspended by a tool administrator. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome! ---- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 22:09, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. Mkdwtalk 22:15, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your work in tracking down all the variations of the sockpuppet. I hope you have a wonderful new year. ttonyb (talk) 20:51, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I noticed the activities across a number of articles I had watchlisted and tracked it back to multiple accounts in common. Hopefully we can tie in all the accounts and this editor's disruptive edits will be ended. Mkdwtalk 02:16, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Editor Review: done

User talk

I have done an editor review for you at Wikipedia:Editor review/Mkdw2.

Perhaps you could consider doing a review of another editor? It takes a bit of time (reviews can take anywhere from about 15 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on how many contributions the editor has made, where they have contributed, etc).

The ones marked with a * are those editors who have not been reviewed yet — if you want to review one of these, make sure you remove the asterisks in the parts indicated!

If you have not done a review before, you might feel more comfortable giving a second review to an editor — this will show you an example of a review that has been done, and show you the kinds of things that can be commented on. I hope that you find the review useful. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about it.

WikiProject Theatre Newsletter - February 2010

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter (Febrauary 2010)
The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter!
Issue 5 - February 2010

Welcome to the latest WikiProject Theatre newsletter (the first in quite a while!) bringing you news of what's going on in the project, what progress we're making, and how you can get involved.

Latest News
  • All theatre articles currently tagged with a project banner have now been assessed for quality. There are still plenty to assess for importance, though - see the article assessment page for details.
  • There is now a News section on the main project page, updated automatically to keep us informed of developments in theatre articles.
Collaboration of the Month
  • Theatre has been nominated as the next project collaboration. This could be an excellent opportunity to improve the quality of one of our most important articles - listed as one of Wikipedia's top 1000 most vital articles - but it needs a lot of work before it can be considered for even good article nomination!
  • Stop by the collaboration page for tips on how to improve an article, to add your support, or to suggest alternative or future collaborations.
Jobs you can do

Any and all improvements to theatre-related articles will help the project, but if you're looking for something to do, have a look at the to-do list. Some current areas of priority are:

If you are currently working on a particular topic or area of the project, and would like to muster some support from other editors, feel free to add tasks to the to-do list. Or even think about setting up an informal working group - create a project subpage to organise tasks in a central location. Remember you can always discuss ideas with others at the project talk page.

New members

If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project?

ANI

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Philly jawn (talk) 02:49, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I really don't want this to go any further. I won't add the text to flash mob if you stop nominating the rowbottom article for speedy. Also, if you add the tag back in you'll be close to 3rr. Philly jawn (talk) 02:54, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did not nominate the article for its relationship to Flash mob. As an article on its own, it does not link to any other Wikipedia articles, and the sources it uses doesn't support its contents. Frankly, it seems like an unremarkable university nickname and lacks any encyclopedic benefit. The A7 on it isn't for barter, and the process to contest it isn't by reverting it as well as the tags. I am willing to discuss its notability per WP:BIO, but so far you haven't made an attempt to assert how it meets any of the Wikipedia guidelines. Mkdwtalk 02:58, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Instead of going through an AfD, you have pushed this dispute because of the addition of the material to the flash mob article. It was in fact somewhat relevant. You weren't really interested in discussing it. The rowbottom article was not in fact an orphan and it did have references when I took those tags off, you added them back on. I just reported you for edit warring. Philly jawn (talk) 03:39, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a result you were warned for falsely reporting me. Please read up on WP:3RR and how counter-vandalism does not fit into that category. Thank you. Mkdwtalk 09:19, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Joseph Rowbottom

Hello Mkdw. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Joseph Rowbottom, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. NW (Talk) 04:44, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. I will nominate it for WP:AfD. Mkdwtalk 04:48, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Copyeditor's Barnstar
Thank you for noticing and fixing my mistake Moxy (talk) 14:31, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're invited!

mediation

What actions do I need to take to facilitate mediation? In particular, I want to make sure that the mediator(s) will be directed to the "in popular culture" chapter on the talk page. Hermitage (talk) 05:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Flash mob. Mkdwtalk 05:53, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Request for mediation rejected

The Request for mediation concerning Flash mob, to which you were listed as a party, has been declined. An explanation of why it has not been possible to allow this dispute to proceed to mediation is provided at the mediation request page (which will be deleted by an administrator after a reasonable time). Queries on the rejection of this dispute can be directed to the Committee chairperson or e-mailed to the mediation mailing list.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Flash mob article - I need your help.

Thank you very much for all your contributions to Wikipedia. It is very much appreciated. I would like your help resolving an issue on the Flash mob article. Please see Talk:Flash_mob#In_Popular_Culture.3F. - 64.40.62.120 (talk) 11:46, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Service awards

Thanks for your interest in the service awards displayed on my user talk page. I display these awards to protest against them. I follow the adage found on the page itself: From Wikipedia:Service awards: "These awards are unofficial – displaying the wrong one carries no penalty..." In short, I think that these awards are damaging to the spirit of Wikipedia and am hoping that people display the wrong awards so as to make them less relevant. Hope you understand.

ScienceApologist (talk) 14:14, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I wasn't trying to be penalizing. I thought perhaps since the whole thing had been undergoing changes such as the medal of honor now redirecting there etc it had been a legacy transclusion. Mkdwtalk 18:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

don't edit my userpage

Don't edit other people's userpages. Seriously, its not nice and its very annoying that there are so many people out there that think that its ok to just randomly mess with other people's userpages. Bryan.Wade (talk) 00:06, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A wiki page may be edited by anyone freely. That is the fundamental principal behind a wiki page, and it explicitly states in the Wikipedia policy regarding user pages that no one user owns them nor has the authority to disallow others from doing so. However, despite your exceptionally hostile message, I do respect your right to keep your 'corresponding' user wiki page as you would like to see fit and simply changed the award to match your achievement. If you cannot be polite, Wikipedia does have a policy about hostility, especially in regards to grounds where you have no jurisdiction to tell me what I can and cannot do. Mkdwtalk 04:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, you seem to be a reasonable person. You have no idea though how many times people have messed with my userpages. Its just starting to get really annoying, and unless I respond, people tend to keep messing with them. Bryan.Wade (talk) 04:36, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Roger Huerta Nickname

Okay. I understand your point but from what has been talked about in the WP:MMA discussion page (See Archive 2) and the WP:MOS it has been stated that this area is just for the name the person is generally known as. Huerta is not known as "Tha Matador" more so than his real name. It is different for someone like Rampage Jackson who is known as Rampage as well as his Real name. Just thought I'd try and explain this. Hope this helps. (MgTurtle (talk) 20:38, 28 August 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Montage for Vancouver

Hi Mkdw. I would like to re open the discussion of having a montage for the infobox. It looks like in the past few days no one has answered except one user who I think made an account today. Could you maybe find any other people who would like to contribute to the discussion? I would really like your and other editors input on this. Thanks. By the way, please respond on my talk page. Nations United (talk) 20:07, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:41, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Stagecraft Newsletter

The WikiProject Stagecraft Newsletter (October 2010)
The WikiProject Stagecraft Newsletter!
Issue 1 - July, 2010

Hello and welcome to this, the first ever edition of the WikiProject Stagecraft Newsletter! If you haven't been over to the WikiProject page lately then you're missing out - the whole thing has undergone a complete makeover - see below for more info!
On top of this, we have brand spanking new templates (such as this one) and a completely revamped Collaboration of the Month - again, see below for more info on all of this.
Finally, a warning - the new-look WikiProject is still having the finishing touches put on it. If you find something that doesn't work, you don't agree with or is just plain missing, please don't hesitate to let us know on the WikiProject's talk page. We'll try our very best to fix ASAP!

New Look

As mentioned above, the WikiProject has recently undergone a spring-clean and we're excited about it! If you don't mind - we'd like to take this opportunity to explain some of the features and generally show off about it a little.

  • Colour scheme All pages on the WikiProject now use two consistent shades of blue as part of the new streamlined interface (Those techies amongst us may wish to know that the precise names of the colours we use are: "lightblue" for headings and "#c0e0e0" for backgrounds).
  • Navigation Menu Every page on the WikiProject now has the official WikiProject navigation menu so you can easily flick between pages and get back to the main project page. Say goodbye to clicking the back button several times!
  • To Do list/Open Tasks If you're stuck on what to do to help us then a list of the most important tasks is now available on the main page. At the moment, the list is looking a little short so if you have found something that you think ought to be added, then feel free to edit the list and let us know. Please refrain from linking to a specific article that generally needs an overall update. Single articles like this should be nominated for a future Collaboration of The Month - see below.
Templates

All of the project's templates are now arranged in one handy page. Whilst we were going through we also noticed one was missing. We have now added the new template in the form of:

  • {{WPStagecraft Newsletter}} - the template containing the latest edition of the WikiProject Newsletter (you're looking at it now!)
Collaboration of the Month

Ok, so this isn't exactly a new feature. It's always been there but has never really been updated on a, ahem, monthly basis. The Collaboration of the Month (COTM) is now in template form to enable it to be streamlined across the Project, without having to be manually updated on each page. Don't worry if we've lost you at this point - the point is, it works! You can now nominate an article for COTM on the COTM page. The more sharp-eyed amongst you may well have noticed that the COTM at the moment is still that old fella, Stage lighting. That's because no-one has nominated a COTM for this month (being a new feature an' all...) so we've decided to leave it as it is for this month until a new one has been democratically voted for.

And finally...

Thanks very much for reading down this far - hopefully future newsletters won't be this long! Please, if you can, invite new members and drop us a line over at the talk page to let us know what you think of the new look/newsletter and any suggestions you may have.

Editing

There's only so many sites on the web I get my reviews from: IGN, GameInformer, GameZone, etc., and obviously the sites like IGN and Game Informer have their reception stuff up there usually, so I just like to post GameZone as their reviews aren't influenced with publishers paying them.--SteinlageT (talk) 22:31, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Polite userbox

Hello, I came across your userbox and I thought I would suggest a slightly different wording, which would sort of have a pun in it as well. How about: "This user is polite and expects others to act in kind."? Just a suggestion. : ) – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 04:28, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Vandalism

How i did i vandalize "transgender-related topics"? I'm Trans and i'm pretty sure whatever edit i made was not nonconstructive206.196.48.49 (talk) 18:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First off, you had multiple cases of blatant vandalism such as adding Black Swan to the filmography of stunt personality Steve-O from MTV series Jackass. You incidentally linked to the bird and not the film of which he was not involved in any way, shape, or form. Secondly, among you other numerous incidents of vandalism you added a name to a list of transgendered people, whom I highly doubt was transgendered, and even if they were, completely fail Wikipedia's nobility guidelines. Allowing every edit that added an non-notable names to articles would create a worthless encyclopedia. So yes, every edit you have made to this website has been a waste of our time. Mkdwtalk 21:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you are a participant of the WikiProject Quebec.

The Outline of Quebec was created a few days ago and is under vigorous development. It fills a gap in Wikipedia's set of outlines. It is the 3rd outline to date about a Canadian province/territory.

Outlines form one of the subsystems of Wikipedia's contents navigation system. For more information on outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines.

The goals for the Outline of Quebec is to complete it to as high a standard of quality as possible, and to make it even better than the Outline of Saskatchewan and the Outline of British Columbia.

Once the Outline of Quebec is completed, it will provide an important example to others creating outlines for the remaining provinces and territories of Canada.

Please take a look at the outline to see if you can notice (and fill in) any missing topics. Pictures would also be nice (the rarer and the more interesting, the better).

Thank you.

Just for your own edification, IMDb is frowned upon as a source for BLP info per WP:RS/IMDB. Dismas|(talk) 03:30, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

U2 Streets

<Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Where the Streets Have No Name.>

Respectfully, I am not introducing incorrect information.

The U2 Streets page currently has plenty of incorrect and unreferenced information. Thats why I spent some time clarifying. If there is something you feel is incorrect in my edit, I would be happy to help clarify further. Please let me know what you think is incorrect. Thank you
