adolf eichmann's photo(cont)

hello again delldot.i totally agree with you that "it would be the original picture's copyright, not that of the website it happens to be on, that matters." besides,as i said at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Eichmann.jpg&action=history :regardless of website's policies no one can claim "copyright" to original government property. 'll revert the photo's info to its original detail.is this ok with you??Grandia01 (talk) 15:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

My reply delldot on a public computer talk 02:03, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
thanks for your follow-up.yes i highly doubt that there's anything wrong with that image either.it's very clear that it's government property.nah,some people just have to make things complicated...Grandia01 (talk) 00:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


Editor Review - Thanks

Thanks for the very pleasant Editor Review, it would appear from what you've said that you think I'm doing an OK job, I apprecaite you taking the time. I have absolutely no intention of making an RfA, seems like it would require much more time than I can give at present. Thanks again for the responses. --The.Q(t)(c) 16:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I think you're doing great. I didn't assume you wanted to do RfA, but I usually say something about it in reviews because a lot of people are interested in that. Peace, delldot talk 21:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Question

How do you know when to archive user talk pages? Happy editing,--Padawan Animator (talk) 23:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

My reply delldot on a public computer talk 04:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

plant neurons

Hi, this was the first time for me to modify Wikipedia. :) In the future I'll keep such comments to the discussion page. I am a biology master's student and I have never heard about plants having neurons either. I'm sure it was an accidental fluke for the author of the sentence and it wasn't supposed to be in the plant paragraph. After stumbling upon it in the article, I just had to make a snarky/sarcastic comment about it. Just so other people wouldn't miss out on the fun. :) 195.50.223.242 (talk) 14:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that! delldot on a public computer talk 02:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Possibility of deletion?

Since that Westchester article is rated low on the importance scale and it's constantly the victim of heavy vandalism, do you think it should be deleted? Just a thought. Happy editing,--Padawan Animator (talk) 18:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

request for help-robert ley's photo

hello again ms delldot.hope you're doing well.delldot at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Robert_ley.jpg it says that the image is considered for speedy deletion because a fair use rationale is not provided,why should anyone provide a fair use rationale to an image/work which doesn't have a copyright??can you please help clear this confusion??thank you :) Grandia01 (talk) 04:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

My reply delldot talk 05:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
your answer: Hey Granadia. Sadly, the copyright policy is very strict, so absence of copyright info does not mean that it's not copyrighted, and the burden of proof is on the person who wants to keep the image.

the website's terms state that only non-copyrighted images are allowed to exist on that forum website.so im pretty sure it doesn't have a copyright.is there anyway to bypass this free use rationale request??Grandia01 (talk) 06:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

on second thought,do you think that it would better to use a license template that shows that the image's copyright has expired??Grandia01 (talk) 06:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

My reply delldot talk 07:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

your answer: As I said, you have to actually be able to demonstrate for sure that it's not copyright

please see the websites term's at http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=53962 section F-4 "copyrights" that shows that images posted there can't/aren't copyrighted.robert ley's photo has been there for approx over a year without any problems.please reply if you have further concerns.hope this is proof enoughGrandia01 (talk) 06:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination withdrawal

Hi.

I'm not sure how to withdraw my nomination from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susana A. Herrera Quezada.

Is it enough to just replace

{{REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD|O}}

with

<div class="boilerplate metadata afd vfd xfd-closed" style="background-color: #F3F9FF; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;">

YOR.com

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article YOR.com, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

concussion

thanks for your note -- will work at getting over to the concussion page you invited me to consider.

i'm a psychiatrist-clinical epidemiologist. i work in a military setting and there's been much discussion of the impact of mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). i'm a bit of a johnny-come-lately to concussion but i've done a good bit of research (see tomorrow's new england journal of medicine for an article on mild traumatic brain injury in army troops after participating in the iraq war for the work that introduced me to concussion/mild traumatic brain injury). consequently, i know how to assess whether a statement is backed by the cited literature and i also know my limits and wouldn't go beyond them as an editor.

Please can you help me?

I am trying to work on the Crohn's disease article. I came to the title Diagnosis and there is a big space there do to the pictures on the right side. I tried but couldn't get the spaces removed so that it looks like it should. Would you please make this repair for me? I would really appreciate it and I can look at the history and see how you did it so I know how to, hopefully, the next time something like this shows itself. Thanks a lot, and you can respond here or my page, it doesn't matter since I have you on my WP:watchlist.  :) --CrohnieGalTalk 13:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Not sure what you're trying to do. Do you want to group all the pictures together? Can you explain more? delldot talk 13:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
If you go to the Crohn's disease article you will see that under the title 'Diagnosis' there are quite a few space between the title and the content. The pictures are all to the right now but I think, not sure though, that maybe the pictures weren't closed properly or something along this line.
Also, I have been working on the article this morning and some of the information is incorrect or maybe outdated. I am going to try to work the article more if time allows it. Please take a look at the article and I think you will see what I am talking about in the Diagnosis section. Gosh, I hope it's not just me seeing the big gaps of extra lines. ;
On a different note, someone put a picture in the Pyoderma gangrenosum article that I thought you would be interested in [2] --CrohnieGalTalk 13:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I didn't see it in firefox, but I tried it in internet explorer and I see what you're talking about. Not sure how to fix it, but I think it's due to the other picture in the above section, peeking down into the diagnosis section. I think I saw something about that somewhere, I'll try to find it and fix it.
Good job for working on fixing the inaccuracies. That's one of the most important tasks you can do!
Yeah, I saw the PG picture! Ouch, poor guy! delldot talk 14:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
So. Looked around, gave up, asked on IRC. Here's what they said: the whitespace is from the image in the above section dipping down. You can put the images from diagnosis into the above pathophysiology section, and they'll dip down into diagnosis. However, then if someone has a different screen width, they might show up under pathophysiology. Another option would be to move one of the images to the left; either the one under pathophysiology, or at least the top one under diagnosis. A third option would be to add some info or otherwise lengthen the pathophysiology section, so it's longer than the image (e.g. by breaking it into more paragraphs). None is really that great of an option :( I'd go for just not worrying about it for now, hopefully this problem will work itself out as the article evolves. Like I said, it's only a problem in internet explorer anyway. Peace, delldot talk 14:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I figured out an easier way to make the space look more appropriate. I put more spaces in the pathophysiology section to have the picture in that section and not in between. It does two things, it tells people the one section is a stub and needs more added and it allows diagnosis to look normal. What do you think? I don't know much about pathophysiology, I can't even spell it "). But I think this might help the article when it gets attention to have the stub extended more, at least I hope so. thanks, --CrohnieGalTalk 20:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that was a great idea, much better than the ones I put here. You might want to put a hidden note there (using <!-- these things -->) so someone using Firefox doesn't come along and go "huh?" and undo it. delldot talk 20:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Would you, when you have time, take a peek at what I did? I have never used <nowiki> before so I don't know if I did it correctly. It's not hidden, I mean my reason for the white space but then maybe that is the reason? Anyways I would appreciate you checking in on me. Thanks again, CrohnieGal
Sure, fixed. Sorry about that, I only meant to use the <.!-- tags, but they won't show up unless I put the nowiki tags around them. The nowiki tags make the software not render what you type the way it usually does, e.g. if you type ~~~~, it just leaves four tildes, it doesn't give your signature. So I put the nowiki tags around the commenting out tags so they would show up. But you probably looked at the diff, and saw the whole thing. Have a look and let me know if everything's ok now!

Re:Your comments

Thanks :) but so is Triona's response, though I don't agree with it... I believe that from an individual's perspective the rate of recent changes appears to be overwhelming when in fact hundreds of users may be monitoring the same list at any given time and there's a very slim chance of any vandalism slipping past. But because there are no figures to support either Triona's or my belief, our opinions will have to remain just that. I better not continue the discussion at the RfA though, because someone will probably come along soon and say "stop cluttering the RfA page with tangential discussions!" :P - TwoOars 16:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello again!

There should be some kind of a WP tax system set up to pay people like you for helping people like me. I'm sure I would complain if there was such a thing but it makes me sound like I actually care when I say it, doesn't it?
Just joking.
Anyways, I have a question regarding the appropriatness of some information on this article, more specifically its sources. 67.86.145.12 (talk · contribs) has inserted the following line into Jaslene's article:

will also appear on the cover of Vanidades shortly

The claim, which to me sounds something that can be challenged, was referenced by a YouTube clip and a LiveJournal entry, neither of which conform to WP:BLP#Reliable sources. I removed the line based on the fact that it is sourced from non-reliable sources, not to mention possible copyright infringement by using the YouTube clip, but the above mentioned IP user reinserted it. I left an explanation on his talk page regarding why I did what I did and changed it again. My edit was reverted again without an explanation or an edit summary. I don't want to get involved in an edit war nor do I want to breach WP:3RR so I need advice on how to handle this. Clearly, the user's edits are in good faith but I feel like I make a good point concerning a WP:BLP. This section says that Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Verifiability. It also says The three-revert rule does not apply to such removals if the information is derogatory. I must note that the information in question is not derogatory but does not meet standards specified. So my question is this: Should I revert the IP editor based on the above guideline in order to uphold Wikipedia's standards of verifiability or would that be considered 3RR or disruptive editing?
What is your opinion?
Thanks again.

I agree with you that in your assesment that they're trying to improve the article, that's the reason why I didn't puruse any administrative action against the user. I was just worried, and still am worried, that this IP editor does not discuss his/her changes and is very forceful in defending his/her material which might get him/her involved in edit/revert warring with someone else of the same mindset. I'll keep an eye on them. Thanks for following up.

Guess who!

This article is being contributed to by mostly one editor (Brexx (talk · contribs)) who, it seems, has contributed quite extensively to articles related to Mariah Carey and other music related articles. However, he keeps inserting a statement that says:

The music video for the song is probably completed by now,and will most likely premiere in the coming weeks.

I don't even know where to begin saying what's wrong with this, especially that it is not sourced. I left a note on the user's talk page regarding sourcing this statement if it is to stay in the article and he reinserted the statement referencing it to a really vague sentence from someone's blog.
Again, input from you would help in resolving this issue without edit warring.

Do I even need say it? Yes I do. Thanks!
Peace! SWik78 (talk) 18:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello friend!
I see you left a note on the editor's talk page and to answer your question about whether or not that source was a blog - yes, it is! The first time it was used as a reference it was from here. The website seems to be a Mariah Carey fanzine and most (if not all) blogs are put up by someone named Oscar. Plus, the article is nothing but an editorial. Clearly, not acceptable by WP:BLP#Reliable sources. After I removed the source and the information referenced from it, the editor reinserted the information and referenced it from here. It's the exact same article!!! Just on a different website. This website is not a reputable source, it is more of a celebrity gossip and tabloid than an informative publication, as the article about it states. All that aside, even if the website was reputable, the only mention of the video in the article itself is the following sentence:

she's shooting a video this fortnight for her new album

That doesn't even specify a date on which the video is being shot, it only suggests a two week period and it says nothing about which video nor when it will be finished, especially not when it will be released. Therefore, I really believe that any information in the article about the video is pure unsorced OR. I really think it should be removed but I don't want to get slapped with 3RR. I'm sure you've read this many times before but here's what Jimmy Wales has to say about those kinds of situations:

I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons.

I think I make a good point but I don't want to get disruptive. Hence, I bug the hell out of you :)

THank you

Hey Delldot

Thanks you so much for your message. I must say I am still trying to get my head around Wikipedia and there is alot to learn so might have to call on your knowledge and expertise every once and while.

Thanks once again

Sorry I have another question for you

I use Wernabot to achive my talk page but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you know anything about this? I have tried many time to archive myself and end up just deleting. I don't understand how to archive myself and it was suggested that I use Wernabot to do it for me because I kept making a mess of trying to archive it myself. This just happens to be one of the things I can't seem to understand, sorry. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks, --CrohnieGalTalk 13:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I know nothing about Werdnabot, but from it's user page, I found this:
Werdnabot is not currently functioning, as of 15:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC). However, Shadowbot3 is a clone of the Bot and has taken over the archiving of pages that have the Werdnabot archival template on them.
Alternatively, you may wish to switch to MiszaBot I (for article talk pages), MiszaBot II (for project talk pages and noticeboards) or MiszaBot III (for user talk pages). To have any of those Bots handle archiving, make a request at User:MiszaBot/Archive requests.
Hopefully this helps. Peace, delldot talk 17:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that's what I understood too. Should I delete the Wernabot and then figure out how to put the Misazbot on my page? I had help putting the Wernabot up, and does the archive from wernabot disappear if I do this? Sorry for being so slow about things. I'm so happy to have you as my mentor, you are so patient with me. :) --CrohnieGalTalk 18:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem Crohnie, always a pleasure to hear from you. Yes, you can remove the stuff for Werdnabot from your userpage, it won't change anything that Werdnabot has already done.
About getting Miszabot III to archive your talk page, I would try User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. Let me know if you want help with it. (I gotta go now, but I'll be back in about 8 hours). Peace, delldot talk 18:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
I tried three times at least and it didn't show up so if you would be kind enough to help at your convience, I really would apprecitiate it. thanks --CrohnieGalTalk 20:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Done, I think delldot on a public computer talk 02:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, well the good news is I think I actually figured out how to properly archive finally!--CrohnieGalTalk 11:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Neat-o :) delldot on a public computer talk 12:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I asked over at Miszabot about why it wasn't archive. Here is the response,

I had Wernabot which is no longer active. I am trying to set up Misza bot to archive my talk page but I can't seem to do it correctly. I asked for help from my mentor and it's still not working. Would you please help get this to work of my talk page for me? Thanks in advance, --CrohnieGalTalk 14:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

If you look at User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo#Parameters explained you'll note that even if not specified the bot will use default values for minthreadsleft and minthreadstoarchive. Since minthreadsleft defaults to 5 and you only have 5 threads on your talk page currently, it will not archive. Your talk page meets the minimum of 2 for minthreadstoarchive but archiving these will leave less than 5 threads on the page. So to clarify, the bot will only archive if there are at least two threads older than your setting and there will be at least five threads/sections left on the page when it's done. Hope that helps. 86.21.74.40 (talk) 16:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I deleted the extra stuff that you get when cutting and pasting. So basically, we are set. Thank you very much again. --CrohnieGalTalk 17:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Great work Crohnie! delldot talk 00:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Rudget. 16:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Ha ha! Any time. What does that even mean? delldot on a public computer talk 01:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I think that even eludes God. :) Rudget. 11:09, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, God's kind of weak at vandal patrol. Guess that's why He lets us do His vandal smiting for Him XD delldot talk 13:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, there's no rush at all but would you check out the article for me and honestly tell me how I am doing? I have been working on it today and yesterday so I would appreciate your input on how it looks. Thanks, --CrohnieGalTalk 17:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'll get to this tomorrow or the next day, sorry I haven't gotten to it yet. delldot talk 10:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Like I said no rush on this. Someone edited one of my edits and did a real good job fixing it up. I hope this person comes again, he/she seems to know Crohn's well and with the way my edit was fixed for easier reading, it would be nice to have the help! :) --CrohnieGalTalk 14:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
That's exciting, did you leave them a thank you? delldot on a public computer talk 01:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
