May I ask why you keep changing the format of the Playboy Special Editions sections of articles? The format for these sections has been agreed upon through discussion here. Dismas|^(talk) 13:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article about Wikipedia Users

Hello,

I am a freelance writer working on an article about the wide array of people who make Wikipedia their life, their passion, their pastime. Wikipedia “addicts” if you will. I’m looking for people just willing to tell their story of how they got sucked into the intellectual whirlwind that is Wikipedia; how you got started editing, how the obsession grew, and what you spend your time focusing on these days? Do you write articles from scratch? Is your main push toward one particular type of article? Do you patrol for typos and errors, or spend your time diligently fixing vandalism? Do you take part in the “social aspects” of Wikipedia; engaging in animated discussions or decorating your user page with all sorts of internet memes? Have you ever forced yourself to take a “Wikipedia break”? If so, what’s your 20/20 hindsight on the obsession? Basically I’m just trying to get an idea of what it’s like for various Wikipedia “addicts.” If you are interested in participating, please email me at brianwrites@gmail.com

If anybody else, other than this user is interested in participating, feel free to email me as well. This article is intended to be a light informational piece, nothing too heavy or controversial, just merely introducing readers to a subculture that they likely had no idea existed. So please don’t email me with your conspiracy theories, or your grudge against the Wikipedia hierarchy… unless it directly applies to your overall experience with the site. This article is about the USERS, not about the pros and cons of the site itself.

Thanks,

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Confessions of a Video Vixen.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Confessions of a Video Vixen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Cyber Girl of the Year

Please do not add unhelpful and non-constructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to Cyber Girl of the Year. Your edits could be considered vandalism, and they have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. TonyTheTiger 21:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. note that although it is possible these edits are serious given your talk page history I am assuming you are not being constructive. TonyTheTiger 21:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of links to interviews

Hi, The Honorable. I'm curious why you are removing links to interviews, such as this one: 吉井愛美の部屋へようこそ(Yoshii Manami no Heya e Youkoso) VIDEO IDOL INTERVIEW. Is there a policy I am unaware of against providing links to interviews on the subject? Some of these articles cry out so much for any sort of information beyond vital statistics and video titles, it seems to me an interview can be very valuable. Interviews at this particular site seem to be less commercial-oriented than, say, a link to IMDB, in addition to providing an actual interview with the model from which Japanese-reading editors can then check for information to put in the article. Dekkappai 18:22, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Honorable. I went investigating Wikipedia's link guidelines and found under What should be linked: "Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews." (bolds are mine). So unless you have a reason to specifically exclude these particular interviews and DVD reviews, I'll go ahead and put those links back in. I hope we're in agreement, and appreciate this chance to learn a little more about Wikipedia's policies. Dekkappai 18:46, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, Honorable. I agree-- and more importantly, Wiki guideline Wikipedia:Citing sources agrees-- that we should use English language sources over foreign-language sources whenever possible. However, in these articles on Japanese porn stars it is often very difficult to find reliable, useful, non-commercial sources only in English, and foreign-language sourcing is better than no sourcing at all. The Wiki guideline further states: "However, do give references in other languages where appropriate. If quoting from a different language source, an English translation should be given with the original-language quote beside it." So, lacking much information on this subject at all in English, I think Wikipedia guidelines show that a link to a Japanese interview on a Japanese subject lacking English sourcing is appropriate.

Hi, just to let you know that the mature content external links are referenced in the article itself and should not be removed. Thank you for your interest in the article. 68.125.128.132 08:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Susan Block

I am the writer who originally posted the article on Susan Block which I believe you flagged for "neutrality." I am a professional journalist, but this is my first Wikipedia article. I tried to make the article as neutral, objective and factual as possible, using “neutral language” such as I have seen in other Wikipedia articles. Also, since you (at least, it seems to have been you) flagged it with "the neutrality of this article is disputed," I and others have made several significant changes to the piece. If it was you, can you take a look at the article again, and remove the flag? If you feel there are still problems, could you please be more specific about what the problems are? As I have been doing over the past few weeks, I would be happy to continue to adjust whatever needs to be adjusted to make this article more “Wiki-friendly,” and I appreciate your help.

Wikiproject Pornography

Hi –

I'm contacting you because you're listed as an active member of WikiProject Porn stars. I'm interested in creating a WikiProject Pornography and have started a poll to see whether WikiProject Porn stars should be merged into that project or remain separate. I'm fine with either. Please weigh in at: Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Porn stars: Proposal: WikiProject Pornography

Thanks – Iamcuriousblue 21:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nikki Nova.......A BIG Thank You!

Hey, I saw you removed the court records reference from Nikki's article, and I wanted to thank you for doing so. Though I didn't actually know the policy in that regard, I actually intended to use it to validate previous source material concerning her correct date of birth (birth year to be specific), & I actually didn't intend to include the court records as sources this time around (for the OBVIOUS and LOGICAL reasons....even if there were no Wikipedia policy). I was half asleep at the time I did it, and I accidentally left the sources the way they were when the date of birth was last included 2 weeks ago & didn't get back to replace those references. Same goes for her "Boobpedia" page as well (meant to replace those references as well.....that was sort of the result of "cut & paste" from the Wikipedia page actually). Though she has some credits under her real name early in her career, & she has given interviews under her real name with references to her "professional name," I never really wanted to use the court record references in the 1st place due to genuine privacy concerns that I had for her as a real person.....regardless of Wikipedia's policy in the matter. Anyway, thanks again for correcting that for me & removing the court records references in both cases. Jbs173 (talk) 18:53, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited This Ain't..., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Expendables (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
