Your edits

Hi! I saw that you made some edits on March 9th to the page I developed "channel expansion theory". I am new to Wikipedia and I am developing this page for a class project. Could you please tell me what were the edits (I wasn't able to figure out by edits history)and maybe give me your feedback? Thanks! M.elvira (talk) 04:50, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Patrick Brazeau unprotection?

Hi Bearcat-- would you consider moving the article on boxer Senator Patrick Brazeau down to semi-protection, at least? It was April 2009 that you set an indefinite protection to the article, because of blankings of controversial content. New information has been sparse, and a legitimate requested change to clarify something was ignored. -- Zanimum (talk) 16:03, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Dorothy Lawson Page

Hi Bearcat, I see you took down the Dorothy Lawson page that User ZYXW started and that I had added some content to. Can you please put it back and perhaps help it meet its minimum requirements? I tried to add some content so it wouldn't be removed, with the hopes that someone more qualified would expand it. Thanks for your help. (Sansevieria4 (talk))

Hi Bearcat, This is why I am asking for your help. I clearly don't know what I am doing. I was trying to add categories to Mary Rowell's page and was in process of doing this when you deleted the content. I can expand on both of their entries but I am really just learning as I go. I don't even know how to properly converse with you. Am I supposed to respond here or on my talk page? (Sansevieria4 (talk))

Thanks for your help. (Sansevieria4 (talk))

Hi Bearcat,

One more question for you. How do you create a category? I have looked at the Wikipedia instructions but I don't understand them. I am trying to create a category for Electroacoustic musical groups and another for Electroacoustic composers. Much thanks! (Sansevieria4 (talk))

Ah, I looked for this category but I guess I don't quite understand where to look for categories. (Sansevieria4 (talk))

Dirty Radio deletion

Hi there. Can you please advise why you deleted the Dirty Radio page? I reviewed the notability requirement for bands and it is clear that charting and obtaining significant national radio airplay qualify a group for notability. The proper references were included as well. Heratixmusic (talk) 01:08, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi again Bearcat - Thanks for your feedback. I wasn't sure how to include you in my response, which I posted here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Yunshui#Dirty_Radio_deletion (sorry about that, meant to reply to you first). I'm curious why you don't consider the Emerging Canadian Artists chart as notable (especially given how active you seem in editing Canadian music topics) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_charts#Canadian_charts it gets a mention right under the top 100 chart here and certainly is considered a target in the industry (and basically came about as a result of the CAB requirements on broadcasters to meet certain targets with respect to emerging Canadian artists in particular genres - http://www.cab-acr.ca/english/research/08/sub_jun1308_4.pdf is an interesting (albeit slightly dry) review of some of that process.)

I take your point on the references however, and as I noted with Yunshui, I'd certainly welcome the opportunity to take the text that was deleted and try to flush out the content and references a little (some of which I provided in that post). I know youtube and blogs are not considered great third party resources, but one of them is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KUtdmKk6bc which is virgin radio vancouver (who also has a bunch of content related to the band on their site including http://vancouver.virginradio.ca/Blog/Jeff/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10239051 and http://vancouver.virginradio.ca/Channels/SpecialFeatures/Story.aspx?ID=1309148).

The broader issue of conflict of interest is a little less black and white I think - certainly the idea behind editing under this username was to make it clear that there was some connection and not hide the conflict, but at the same time I'm neither the band nor staff or anything (just a friend) and short of waiting for someone random to create the article, I figured I would take a stab at it. I'll repost what I consider to be the relevant excerpt from the section on close relationship COI here:

"Close relationships... Closeness to a subject does not mean you're incapable of being neutral, but it may incline you towards some bias. Be guided by the advice of other editors. If editors on a talk page suggest in good faith that you may have a conflict of interest, try to identify and minimize your biases, and consider withdrawing from editing the article. As a rule of thumb, the more involvement you have with a topic in real life, the more careful you should be with our core content policies when editing in that area. The definition of "too close" in this context is governed by common sense. An article about a little-known band should preferably not be written by the band's manager or a band member's spouse, and a biography should preferably not be written by the subject's spouse, parent, or offspring. However, an expert on a given subject is welcome to contribute to articles on that subject, even if that editor is deeply committed to the subject."

Your comment was that "if you have a personal involvement with the band's career (which I have to assume you do, given the fact that your registered username on here closely resembles another act that was named in the original article), then you cannot be the primary author of a Wikipedia article about it." This isn't stated in the COI policy - just that I should be careful to try and meet the core policies and make sure to minimize biases and remain neutral. Given the limited scope of the article (it was set up as a stub to basically be the bare minimum so others could start contributing) I believe those concerns outlined by the COI policy were met.

Anyway, appreciate the feedback and would appreciate the opportunity to get the original text so I can attempt to revise and fix those issues identified.

Thanks.

Heratixmusic (talk) 16:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch Bearcat. Your assistance is much appreciated. I notice you seem to be the most active admin in the Canadian music articles, so I will def. hit you up with questions to make sure everything is up to snuff before republishing. One thing I could use help with is properly sourcing evidence of national radio play - the best online source I could find was mediabase as it shows which radio stations in Canada have added which tracks, but I'm not sure that meets the wiki standards for references (and I can't find or think of any other sources that would evidence national radio airplay other than station playlists themselves, but those change on a constant basis).Any thoughts on how other editors may have handled this? Heratixmusic (talk) 21:38, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Bearcat. What he said ↑. At least one of the proposed sources that Heratixmusic posted on my talkpage meets the requirements, so it's possible that the band are actually notable. I'm happy to work with Heratixmusic to bring the article up to standard and ensure NPOV. If you restore the text and don't feel comfortable userfying it to Heratixmusic, I'm willing to host it in my userpages for a short while. Cheers, Yunshui 雲‍水 07:27, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Per Yunshui's suggestions, I've modified the article and mainspaced it with much more solid references. However, given your experience in this area, I would be appreciative if you could take another look and let me know if you have any further suggestions. One area I think that needs help is verification of some of the references as I'm unsure how to change a reference to a print sources from the online version (for example, linking to a specific chart date as the online version on bds is now a different date and doesn't work). I'm also unsure how to deal with the question posed by another editor on linking to an audio feed for the interview on virgin radio - there is one on youtube, but not sure how to reference that. Thanks! Heratixmusic (talk) 06:54, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Unofficial

I was curious as to why you have decided that this article is not worthy of being published. It is an event that, if using the number of people who social media alone suggests participates from 2012 and applying those numbers for the entirety of its existence, has had over 100,000 people participate. The event greatly effects the economy of the area and not just the bars.

Thank you for the clarification and I do agree that it should not be considered a primary definition of the word Unofficial, and should make an Unofficial (event) page. I disagree with it not having evidence for a presence outside of the Champaign-Urbana area. The restrictions the university is taking towards restricting visitors should provide proof of that. For examples see special enforcement specifically years 2008 and 2011.

more LGBT cats

Category:LGBT people by occupation Hi, I've nominated a few more. They seem to sprout like mushrooms. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the overall Category:LGBT people by occupation category tree (and some of the GLB subcats). What is the thinking on those? In a way, I feel like the whole tree is problematic, because suppose you have a doctor and you put him as LGBT Physician. But he's actually an amazing heart surgeon, but since you've already put him in, you may not categorize him in the main Category:Cardiac surgeons tree. In that way, the LGBT cats are sort of like ghettos, because they're not (and never will be) as granular as the main tree categories, and by classifying people within, you are risking under-catting them, or at least just putting them in rather generic buckets; and they always seem to be underpopulated; the net result is, it seems to actually underplay the contributions of LGBT people; rather than just saying "joe is X, Y, Z, and gay" - instead you say "Joe is an american-gay writer of jewish descent" (and grouping him with all the others). I wish we had category intersection, so we could get rid of all of these cats in general... It's just so weird when I look at something like Category:LGBT models and there are so few in there. Don't you think lists might be a better solution here - that way the assertions could be sourced (when I click around, many of the articles have no source for marking someone as LGBT). --KarlB (talk) 23:48, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Designated places

Hi Bearcat, I just finished the incomplete list at List of designated places in British Columbia, and recently established equivalent list articles for Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. For the Quebec list, I performed a basic translation of the two designated place types from French (per StatCan) to English. If you happen to know if the translations are incorrect, please advise so that I can revise. Also, any help avoiding redirects for entries within the lists or cleaning up redlinks would be appreciated if you are interested and have the time. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 08:15, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

I posted to Talk:List of designated places in Quebec about why many if not most of the "dissolved municipality" items in the list are problematic: they comprise some oddly-chosen subset of territory (often several non-contiguous tracts of land) within the eponymous municipality; they are not the eponymous municipality itself, and it might take some amount of original research to figure out just what the heck they are supposed to represent. For the other of the two types of designated places in Quebec (unconstituted locality), I actually created List of unconstituted localities in Quebec a few weeks ago, but passed on creating a list of designated places in Quebec precisely because of the problems mentioned here. -- P.T.

Hours ago you fixed some things at EMP Museum and my interest is covered by your summary duplicate categorization; already in subcat(s). using AWB revision as of 06:47, 9 May 2012.

• Evidently Frank Gehry buildings (our biog calls him Canadian-American) or Postmodern architecture in Washington (state) is a subcat of American architecture. —so you deleted the latter cat
• What about Media museums in Washington (state) and Media museums in the United States —which you retained? Does this represent your oversight as operator? or a different region of category space where policy is different or robot not authorized? or a robot bug? or the robot's failure to recognize because we have failed to make the one a subcat of the other as it should be?

Kray twins

Hi. I noticed your note (or at least, the fact that you pointed to a note) on Kray twins about not including their death categories in the main article. I don't suppose you would know how to keep them (and similar articles) from appearing at Wikipedia:Database reports/Living people on EN wiki who are dead on other wikis, since other Wikipedias do include the individual death categories in their article? Category:Dead people would technically do the trick (since it applies to both of them), but that is for subcategories only. Just wondering if there's anything that can be done... Canadian Paul 21:34, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

That's actually a really great idea. The section directly above yours on my talk page dealt with another situation where an editor felt that the current options for death categories weren't appropriate (and I agreed to some extent). When I have a little more time, I'll have to propose that somewhere, or maybe just boldly create it. Glad I dropped a note, thanks! Canadian Paul 21:48, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm, just to play devil's advocate, I'd probably cover those with Category:Year of death uncertain or Category:Year of death unknown. Canadian Paul 21:57, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Zoos template

The zoos template is in every article about a zoo, and has been for years. Is there some particular reason that you have decided that it is "unnecessary" at this time? This template provides links that used to be placed in See also sections. It seems to me that this kind of overall change to zoo articles should have been discussed first at WikiProject Zoo rather than implemented unilaterally. This is hardly TCREEP, as the templates have been around for at least since I have been editing (admittedly only three years), and in in many cases they replaced fairly long See also sections.

BLP Policy and Luka Rocco Magnotta

Bearcat, first, I'd like to mention that I am aware that you are one of the top contributors to Wikipedia. You're number 4:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits

That said, some of your comments on the Luka Magnotta AFD discussion are disturbing. You are suggesting that someone accused of a crime cannot have an article because it violates BLP. That's not really the case. First of all, the article can cite facts...for example, Luka Rocco Magnotta is wanted by Interpol. We don't need an actual conviction of a crime to establish notability. We do need to respect that there has not been a conviction...thus words such as "allegedly" can be used.

This issue is larger than just this one case. This guy is alive, not convicted, and has an article solely based on his criminal actions and the subsequent media coverage:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik

I note that Wikipedia's BLP policy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP#Persons_accused_of_crime

states that:

"For people who are relatively unknown, editors must give serious consideration to not including material in any article suggesting that the person has committed, or is accused of committing, a crime unless a conviction is secured."

Let's review the wording again. There are two issues:

1. "Relatively unknown"...actually, Luka Rocco Magnotta was relatively known (even if not notable enough for an individual article four years ago, there was at least some consideration of notability). Indeed, Luka Rocco Magnotta is "relatively known." It's ironic that had there been even more publicity about the kitten-killings, the most recent murder may not have happened.

2. "Serious consideration"...this does not say "no exceptions." Clearly, there are times when exceptions should be made. Anders Behring Breivik, for example, wants attention and has admitted to having committed the crime; there is also video and other evidence that he is the perpetrator, and he is not denying having done what he's accused of.

Similarly, we see no denial at all from Luka Rocco Magnotta, and even his family believes he is guilty. That does not mean that the article cannot, like Breivik's, have some degree of "pretended" objectivity, using words such as "accused".

I'd like to mention that I rarely support the creation or keeping of an article on a killer. The recent Seattle man who killed six persons did not warrant an article (but the event may have warranted coverage). He killed more persons, but the case did not raise the issues that the Magnotta case has raised, and was similar to many other "spree" killings. That's not the case with Magnotta. From mailing human body parts to political offices to posting snuff films online that were ignored by authorities (even after being alerted by an American lawyer), Magnotta has exposed issues in the social fabric. For example, a killing in a low-rent (low-social-class area) of Montreal didn't get immediate attention, but human body parts showing up at the elite power structures of society did. Also, this psychopath/sociopath showed repeated signs of depression, disordered thinking, disturbing thoughts, etc. that were repeatedly ignored by Canadian authorities, until it was too late. Hindsight is 20/20, but a case like this should lead to a reflection of how society deals with social misfits before they become a danger to other.

It's true that the media helps create fame for individuals (including victims, such as Trayvon Martin). In the Martin case, notability was established due not to the murder but to the social issues involved (the suspect not being charged right away raised issues of racial bias and profiling). Magnotta's case raises quite a few issues, as I already discussed. Magnotta, evil genius or not, also has the profile of someone who warrants a biographical article. A "biography"'s purpose is not just to tell about a person (like an obituary in a newspaper) but to help the reader understand how someone came to have the social impact that they did. Magnotta, five years ago, already was making waves in Canada, in both the Karla Homolka case and in the LGBT community.

The real issue for me is that Wikipedia, as an alleged encyclopedia, should be dealing with issues on a higher order of thinking. This is not about current events, it's about someone's life trajectory over time that came to have an impact on society. Someone like Magnotta (like Hitler) showed repeated signs of being a danger to society, yet society looked the other way until it was too late. Having an article on Magnotta is not about glorifying him or denigrating him...it's about discussing how his life trajectory came to have an impact on society in the year 2012. A final mention is that Magnotta himself was obviously affected by Karla Homolka, another high-profile killer case. Had his connections to this been followed up more closely in 2007, the current murder may not have happened. Sticking our heads in the sand is not the proper approach with this case. Profiling the biographical trajectory of Magnotta is important for many reasons, including how society deals with those at the margins and at risk for being violent in the future.

Mississauga St. Michael's Majors

Please allow to be restored the article related to the team under that name and keep a separate article for the new team, the Mississauga Steelheads. This is the precedent established in articles like Kingston Raiders (whose existance under that name was even shorter) and Owen Sound Platers. The old Mississauga name article should be kept. Since you are an admin. you are welcome to move it back yourself and have a new article created. To ensure the old history is kept the article should be moved back, not a replacement created. CycloneGU (talk) 04:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Addendum: I've created a thread related to this at WT:HOCKEY. Your thoughts are appreciated as well. CycloneGU (talk) 04:57, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

For what it's worth, at least officially the standard procedure is supposed to be that if a team changes its name, but is otherwise essentially the same entity as before the name change, then it's supposed to have one article at the current name rather than separate articles for each name. I do grant that in actual practice we're not terribly consistent about that, and there are numerous cases where we have two or more separate articles instead of one merged one — but that's also, at least in part, a factor of whether the merged team article is actually long enough to warrant being split up or not, which in my estimation Mississauga Steelheads currently isn't. (The Owen Sound and Kingston articles aren't really long enough to require separation either, but that's another story.) Generally speaking, a team that actually moves to a new city will have a much stronger claim to a separate article for each incarnation than one which stays in the same place and merely changes its name.

To be honest, though, I would actually have left things alone if the user who originally created the new Mississauga Steelheads article had actually written a real article which actually had enough content to justify an article at all — but what he wrote was literally a single sentence which stated that Mississauga Steelheads is the new name for the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors. I'm perfectly willing to reverse the move if you or somebody else is willing to write a real article about the Steelheads — but I'm not going to reverse it just to reinstate a one-sentence article whose entire content is "this is the new name for that". Bearcat (talk) 21:21, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

I know at this point it is very difficult to really put much of an article together - after all, the team has no history on its own to speak of. Given your note on what WAS created, I certainly understand your stance. Let me review the cases I've mentioned for how those are done and it will give me an idea of how to go about with the new article. I do know that the team history would have to be mentioned, at a minimum.

I also read a comment that Toronto Arenas & Toronto St. Patricks "should be considered an exception to the rule". At this point, no official guideline exists that I can see related to this; one editor I asked last year said separate article for every team, and now I'm finding the opposite opinion, only allowing separate article if moved to a new city. My point for the first stance is looking at old season articles. Go to 2011-12 OHL season and it references the [[Mississauga St. Michael's Majors|Mississauga Majors (that's actually incorrect, I'll fix that after dinner going back to its start but the wikilink is correct). If the link in the season article redirects to Mississauga Steelheads, it's basically incorrect. It's suggesting that someone has wrong information, and an unknowing editor may try to modify the season article to show Steelheads which is incorrect. For the sake of these articles we ought to keep the articles that they link to intact. This is, of course, just my view, but I think it's a pretty well-founded view from an encyclopedia standpoint; a Canadian hockey encyclopedia (which I do not think exists but would be a cool idea) would still show an entry for it, I think.

I'll do a search for things I can put in later this evening. I did see a couple of pieces that information might be gleaned from. CycloneGU (talk) 22:40, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Just passing through

My take on that article is that the entire content of the article appears above the table of contents. The discography is the first thing seen underneath. This is a striking no-no. I do agree that the article appears to be nothing more than a link farm as it appears right now, and without knowing the past history, it could use a rewrite. CycloneGU (talk) 18:07, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more with your last statement. I wish someone would please rewrite this article. I haven't done it because I would be the first to admit that I don't know how to use this site well enough. I was trying to get the article expanded from a stub by adding citations and links. Well, I guess I at least accomplished that. Are there rules for removing and completely rewriting other users work? I have been wary of removing passages and reorganizing the article because I just don't know the guideline for doing this. So instead, I have been trying to bolster what is already there and add in missing information where I can, such as the discography.

The article didn't state that she had a number two hit on a record chart; it basically only stated that she exists. It's not enough to make claims of notability on an administrator's talk page after the fact, if they weren't in the article as it was written. If there are proper references that can be added to demonstrate that she actually meets WP:NMUSIC, then by all means the article can be recreated — but she's not entitled to keep an unreferenced article whose tone is purely promotional in nature.

Orgastic potency & Health

Hi Bearcat, you removed the categories Sex-economy, Health and Human sexuality from the orgastic potency article. However, I would like to re-create the sex-economy category because I want to place both orgastic potency and vegetotherapy in that category. Moreover, contrary to common misconception, the concept 'orgastic potency' is first and foremost a general concept of health. It is related to sexuality, but that is really secondary and important only because of the health-aspect (the 'sexual acts' category has direct relevance only to the subsection 'natural sex act'). Thus, the present categories do not accurately reflect this. Is that ok? Maybe you have some suggestions for better categories. ('sexual health' would be a candidate, though 'physical health' and 'mental health' would be equally valid..).--Gulpen (talk) 13:20, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I understand it requires existence (as you noticed I had a technical complication with the categories) There are more articles that would fall under 'sex-economy', such as Neo-Reichian massage and some more that I will create in the future. The problem with 'sex economy' is that it is too easily confused with the completely different Sexual economy. Do you think that is enough reason to justify including the hyphen (apart from that that is the way it is defined and used in the literature). And any comments on the health categories?--Gulpen (talk) 15:02, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
