I understand, but I don't know if you are referring to the All in the Family cites I put in. I was suspect too, but figured ALL the stuff was checked already and wiki was still looking for cites... so I gave them. I didn't know how to bring this up that the info I cited was CLEARLY COPIED and against the rules. I hope this explanation helps. Thanks. Ken

re: Bankable Stars entry in Wikipedia

Siawase -- My name is James Ulmer, the creator of The Ulmer Scale, and first I want to say thank you for you editorial comments on "bankable stars," which I just read tonight. I also want to add that I have never contributed to Wikipedia and so please forgive if I am off-format on any of the guidelines for comment.

I this it would be most worthwhile, in the "bankable actors" section, for Wikipedia to note the relationship between The Hollywood Reporter's star power surveys and The Ulmer Scale. I would like Wikipedia to be aware that I created, wrote and conducted the original surveys entitled "Star Power" and "Director Power" in The Hollywood Reporter, beginning in 1990, when I was International Editor. I continued to conduct, report and write the stories about these surveys through 1997, when I left the paper to form my own company, The Ulmer Scale, in 1997. We now provide the most current and complete surveys and statistics on bankable actors in our publication, The Actor's Hot List, covering the bankability, in three different movie budget levels, of more than 1400 actors worldwide.

It would be good to have a link on Wikipedia to a 2001 review by Detour magazine of my book, "James Ulmer's Hollywood Hot List -- The Complete Guide to Star Ranking" from St. Martin's Press, as it quite correctly notes the history of how The Hollywood Reporter's bankable actor list relates to The Ulmer Scale. It is the most reliable summation of the company history and my work on bankability that I have found. I have tried to attach it here, to no avail, but will gladly email it to you, or whomever may require it. Apologies again if I have not noticed any guidelines on how to attach pdf files in the comment pages --= I am traveling in between speaking engagements at the moment.

Also, I would like to offer a link to my recent interview on NPR's "All Things Considered" from August 2010, entitled "Company Ranks Celebrity Bankability"

The link is: [1]

There are many more recent articles involving The Ulmer Scale (from New York Times, etc.) which may or may not be of interest to Wikipedia editors, and I would be more than happy to provide any assistance that may be needed, and hope that I am working with the "conflict of interest" guidelines of Wikipedia by providing you third-party references and media coverage of my company and my work in the field of bankable actors and directors worldwide.

Thank you.

External link to lornaparis.com on Black Doll article removed

Hello Siawase,

The article is about black dolls and the lornaparis site is about "Lorna Paris" and her (OOAK) black leather dolls and collectibles. "Debbie Garrett" who provided most if not all of the content on the Black doll article is an avid collector of Lorna Paris's dolls and several of Lorna's dolls can be found in Debbie's book "The Definitive Guide to Collecting Black Dolls", also the Philadelphia Doll museum listed on the article and founded by "Barbara Whiteman" has Lorna's dolls in their collection. The black doll community in the U.S. is a small one and people looking for information on black dolls on the web would appreciate external links like the one I pointed to lornaparis.com. The lornaparis domain is not solely for the purposes of promotional sales, but moreover an online gallery displaying the works of Lorna Paris's artistic creations, of whom has a huge following in the black doll community. I kindly ask that you reconsider the removal of this link. Please advise.

Regards, Dominic Cox

Re: Japanese doll picture

Hello Siawase. You are probably right. This one is way too modern to be traditional. It's a bit sad because this picture improve the overall page esthetically. I didn't take any pictures of traditional dolls, but I'll try to take some as soon as I can. In the meantime, what do you suggest? Jordy Theiller (talk) 08:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leighton Meester's recent image

Hello, I have tried numerous times to post a recent picture of Ms. Meester, but my edits were always rebuffed while that picture that remains was blatantly taken from a fansite originally. Most recently I had the opportunity to photograph her myself and uploaded the picture but it's still considered a copyright violation. How do I verify? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightsout00 (talkcontribs) 22:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, sorry if I'm not using the talk page properly. Second, thank you for responding so promptly. But yes, the image was originally uploaded here at models.com: http://models.com/oftheminute/?p=20673 The image posted is edited and resized however. The one I uploaded was original. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightsout00 (talkcontribs) 03:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Image Advise

Thanks for taking the time to give advise on image placement. Could you give me a little more info. on how to upload directly to Wikipedia instead of Wiki-commons? Nevertheless, I've adopted new methods of taking pictures which give information, but don't violate copyright. Thanks again for your concern. --Cstevencampbell (talk) 23:54, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Siawase. I am coming to you about this because I sometimes see you around on sexuality topics, LGBT topics among them (such as Tribadism, where you even commented on my improvements to the article). I approach you today about the Frot article, which has been a problematic article for a long time, but also one that I feel I have finally made decent; my improvements to the article have been acknowledged by others (for example, here and here). But there is one editor I cannot seem to satisfy. I have been having disputes with the editor named Mijopaalmc. This can be seen on the talk page. Basically, I feel that I am constantly improving the article (adding reliable sources, tweaking things, balancing things out, etc.) and that he is constantly hindering the article (removing reliably sourced text outright, complaining about trivial matters, nitpicking, etc.). Very recently, he has been removing the text that some frot advocates are concerned with the medical risks associated with anal sex, saying that the references don't back it up. His conclusion is false, as I explained on the talk page. The sources most definitely back up that part of the reason some frot advocates do not engage in anal sex is because of the associated health risks. Several hours ago, I reworded the bit to "diseases" instead of "health risks" and added extra reliable sources to back this up. This was done as I simultaneously fixed up the rest of the section (Debates). Mijopaalmc hasn't reverted or nitpicked again yet, but I feel that he will. If you can help out with discussions or simply watching this article, please do. I need help regarding Mijopaalmc's constant nitpicking of the article. Nothing I do ever seems to satisfy him, and I often worry of violating WP:3RR when interacting with his edits. Several hours ago, I don't feel that I violated 3RR, since I feel I was reverting vandalism; he was outright removing reliably sourced material and without a valid argument or further discussion, and I warned him of this on his talk page.

I'm just asking for help. Everything else we have tried has not truly helped, and we seriously need more editors weighing in or looking after the article. Flyer22 (talk) 17:10, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, I'm sorry, but this looks rather complicated, and I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to Wikipedia lately, so I'm not sure how much I can be of help. But I'll add it to my watchlist and see if I can pitch in. I was going to suggest notifying WikiProject LGBT studies, but I saw you already did that. I do hope it can be sorted out. Siawase (talk) 22:06, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. And I understand. The current matter isn't all that complicated, though; I just needed it to be confirmed by another editor that Mijopaalmc was acting wrongly in his continued removal of this...so that the edit warring may be stopped if he decides to continue to remove the text. It is also backed up by more sources now. One of the other editors I contacted weighed in here: Talk:Frot#Other editors. Flyer22 (talk) 22:39, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

sorry

actually i never did put anything innaporprite on any wiki pages. What did i put up? Was it the webkinz thing? because i'm not one of those people who do wrong choices like doing innaporprite stuff like that. someone must had hacked on to my account.

Sources are legitimate. Please cease with your incessant trolling and deleting of posts before you are reported. If you have a problem with the sources at hand, find better ones. Rather than focus on deleting others contributions, you should perhaps concentrate on contributing your own legitimate information as well. Best of luck!

So much wrong with the article on the history of BJD

I recently stumbled across this Wiki page. And i have to state, this is the most biased, and opinionated wiki thread i've seen yet. First of all, Mr. SHigeta created the volks dolls originally for his WIFE. As a gift to her. He himself stated his at several dolpas. no one, not two, but three seperate times. Also, why is the focus all on Lolita, and anime? there is so much more associations with this hobby than just those. I also don't like how the article makes Dollfie owners out to be creepy, deluded freaks. What's with all the references to talking to their dolls, and having conversations with them? 99 percent of us do NOT do that. And anyone who reads this article is going to think that we are all a bunch of crazy women with no intelligence whatsoever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Den Monster (talkcontribs) 19:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources

Thank you for your advise (again). I completely understand the intent of reliable sources. I am a university professor and actively involved in publishing. With Wikipedia articles I am constantly looking for new sources to back up what I'm discussing. My take, however, is that some sources that are not published books or professional articles may still give better ideas on the subject than no source at all. At times, even, I've found webstring or discussion forums to have better information and insight that some "published" books. Just because it is a book doesn't mean it is a good source, though many Wikipedia editors think so. So, a webstring with an intense discussion of the subject (a particular toy brand for instance) - and with pictures as examples can be more helpful even than a book, or just a statement that may or may not be verified at all.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 05:26, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lohan

Hey, Siawase, long time no talk. I got in the middle of a messy situation on the Lohan article with an editor, based on hindsight, wanting to move the musical material to a separate section along with another infobox. I think I've pretty much pulled myself out of it so the editor got what they wanted, but I'd like you to look at it to see if you agree with the changes. I just wish the article weren't so long. It takes forever just to save changes to it. Hope everything is well with you.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:18, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted a later change the editor made, but the editor reverted right back. They don't use edit summaries, and they have a history of contentious editing. I did not revert again. I'm going to leave it in your capable, deft hands. Flattery and avoidance issues at the same time. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 23:40, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dollhouse wiki

Hi Siawase

I see you have edited a lot of dolls and dollhouse pages and that is why I write to you. I own the biggest dollhouse wiki in the world with 1200 pages. As far as I know there are no mentions of the wiki in books or magazines thus I think it is not yet worth a Wikipedia mention after 3 years. Is there another way to be "remarkable"?

Compliment

I'm mostly doing link archiving and crossing the odd T and dotting the odd I at Lindsay Lohan, but I just wanted to say how this article is miles above most Wikipedia celebrity biographies in terms of neutrality and good, solid sourcing — and from a quick glance at the article's history page, I'd say you're responsible for a lot of that.

I understand, but I don't know if you are referring to the All in the Family cites I put in. I was suspect too, but figured ALL the stuff was checked already and wiki was still looking for cites... so I gave them. I didn't know how to bring this up that the info I cited was CLEARLY COPIED and against the rules. I hope this explanation helps. Thanks. Ken
