User talk:CambridgeBayWeather/Archive29

I have two requests for people coming here:

If you intend to revert personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks.

User:Paul David Wilson

Dear CambridgeBayWeather,

From what I understand, I'm unable to use my user page as an "article." If that's correct, how would I move my current work to an article? I currently have the code saved on my computer, so if I can't have my page moved, how would I create a new article about myself?

Right now, a lot of my sources are out of print. They were written about me in the 70's through early 90's, and they're all archived, if they even exist. Presently, how can I resolve the notibility issues? Or, is there something I can place in my article that says "soures pending?"

Arctic Cordillera vs. "Arctic Rockies"

Hi; would you please see Talk:Arctic Cordillera, the new section on the bottom re the sobriquet "Arctic Rockies". User:Black Tusk says "Arctic CordilleraZ" isn't official but I've seen it on an NRC page I think; situation is the CEC ecozone has different bounaries, and isn't a mountain range, and isn't/shouldn't be categorized the same way. I was wondering if you knew what usage is actually used by Nunavut or by the press in Iqaluit or Pang when referring to this range, if it's even referred to as one range (and not several). As one of teh only northerns ("Arcticians") in Wikipedia, hoping you can shed some light on this...Skookum1 (talk) 02:29, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LSSP Corporation

When I search "LSSP Corporation" it says there was a page/article for it but that you deleted it. I was wondering why it was deleted. Thanks for your help.

Your close of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Abd/JzG

Thank you for your close. I should make some comments, though. The relevant process would be RfC, not RfAr. The file was already used in an RfAr, and so there is some concern about concealing evidence that was the basis for comments at RfAr. There are diffs, etc., in the discussion. I think you should edit the close to change RfAr to RfC. I had already offered to blank the page when the MfD was closed, but will ask an arbitrator for an opinion about blanking evidence presented to ArbComm. Thanks again. Your close is probably minimally disruptive for the moment, and certainly doesn't create any disruption.

Note, the history of edits on that page was in the process of being extended to the complete history of Cold fusion, that isn't done. This is just a pile of diffs with edit summaries. I may unblank to add more diffs, but will then immediately blank, within a minute or so. That way the most complete version of the file will be available for access. I will only do this to add pure evidence, not conclusions. (This allows me to use a permanent link in the negotiations I expect to precede RfC and hopefully to avoid it.) --Abd (talk) 22:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I would reply on your talkpage but as I assume that there will be multiple comments on this so I would prefer to keep it all here. You are correct I should have said RfC. I didn't want to protect for two reasons. One was to allow anyone to be able to see which parts were used in the RFAR and also so that you could obtain the material easily enough.

I owe you an apology. I am sorry

Hello CambridgeBayWeather.

I owe you an apology. I am sorry.

I felt "side-swiped" by your comments about the long-form name of the United States of America. I reacted rashly. I apologise.

Take care, and best wishes ArmchairVexillologistDonLives! (talk) 22:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Somebody left another obnoxious message in the white tiger article. This seems more like internet bullying and harassment (the last couple of messages) than constructive criticism aimed at improving the article. I don't want to dignify them with a response. I suspect some of them may object more to the subject than to the article. They want an article which reflects its lack of significance. Would'nt no article be even better? Most articles on white tigers refer to "white genes." It's just a simplified way of explaining things. As for white tigers being "significant only in popular discourse", the bibliography includes articles from scientific journals. He or she probably never read that far. Besides I did'nt realize that wikipedia articles had to be confined to topics of scientific significance. Do you think the article needs cleaning up and makes no sense? I was thinking that maybe the sections on white tigers in the wild and the historical references should me merged at some point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 20:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC) PS I have tried to say everything there is to say on the subject and include as many references as possible for those who are interested. I was'nt writing for people who are'nt interested.[reply]

User talk:7THGRADEPANTHERS

I figured we might be caught in the edit conflict; I just happened to see the deletion while I was checking on my dinner break. No problem at all. (If anything, when I saw the passwords this morning, I should have deleted them from the edit history and then left a welcome and a warning.) —C.Fred (talk) 23:59, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does look like there were multiple people there this morning...before I left the warning. For now, I'm going to assume good faith that they either got their own accounts separately, or the creator of the account has changed the password...at least, until their actions prove otherwise. —C.Fred (talk) 00:24, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Patrick Christie Ink (Australian Artist)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Patrick_Christie_(Australian_artist)&action=edit&redlink=1

I actually do have a substantial amount of research, sources and references to write this article. I sat down to write it out last night and after just a few minutes, wikipedia.org went down so I didn't have access to the site for over 6 hours. It appears that during that time Rcawsey came by and marked the article patrolled and then you couldn't wait to use your delete button.

I understand why you two responded the way you did to the stub you found. Just wanted to let you know it was because of technical problems with the site.

I will develop the article on my userpage sandbox and then publish the full article when it is done to ensure technical problems don't create another roadblock.

New York-JFK or Newy York City-JFK

New York is a State.
New York City is a City served by John F. Kennedy International Airport,LaGuardia Airport.

It makes more sense to put the city's name instead of the State's name. (Druid.raul (talk) 04:53, 27 February 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection Stratus cloud

Hey there! I was wondering if it was possible to place a semi-protection on that article. Looks like too many idiots feel bored looking it up for their geography tests, and prefer vandalising the page a bit. It's the one page on my watchlist with the single most acts of vandalism, usually by anonymous editors. Trigaranus (talk) 10:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

criticism of advertising

wow, are you really way up there? your suggestion sounds good to me. i've been thinking about it myself but gave it a low priority because the original advertising article is very poor in my view. if you plan to proceed, at least the main issues of criticism should remain listed.

white tiger

I'm going to go ahead and delete the sentences which are confusing. Please don't mistake this for vandalism and put it back. If I repeated myself in the article I was'nt aware of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:18, 28 February 2009 (UTC) I will also see if I can improve the article when time permits. PS I just discovered changes made so that the original meaning of a sentence has been completely altered. This may not be deliberate vandalism, but it has the same effect. I can't continuously reread the article to stay on top of this. I just don't have time.[reply]

white tiger (again)

I just skimmed through the article and only found one more bit of vandalism. It does'nt seem to be in bad shape after all. I was thinking of trying to trim some of the fat off it, but the individual sections are'nt all that long, and you did'nt have any issue with the length, so maybe I'll leave well enough alone. It seems to be holding up quite well, contrary to what I thought, and thanks to wikipedia's efforts to repair vandalism. I will still try and improve it. Maybe I will attempt to shorten it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 20:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much with your assistance.

CambridgeBayWeather,

Thank you very much with your assistance. I inserted footnotes on the article. Hopefully, it will boost the “independent reliable sources” because it is factual and the same time to recognize the “notability” because the long list achievement.

Given that the article is met, I want to upgrade from User to Main namespace. Any suggestions?

Bruninho and his array of IP socks

Hi, I got your 3RR message. But I hope you can look at the edit histories of Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas and appreciate that user:Bruninho and his IP socks have been belligerently forcing home edits that breach the wp:mos. These breaches have been explained to the user and on Henry's talkpage, to no avail. How should this be dealt with then. Chensiyuan (talk) 01:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia: Re: white tiger

None of the categories really fits this problem and I don't see who I should contact. It just seems to give me more and more options as I click on, without telling me who to e-mail. I know anybody can reproduce the article, but can they claim they wrote it? Would you give me the e-mail address of the person I should speak to please? I can't spend any more time on this today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 16:27, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dubai Airport

Hi CambridgeBayWeather. I think you misunderstood the edit of the importance section. SempreVolando summarised it into a paragraph, and did the same thing on the Frankfurt Airport article. I think its quite good, that it summarises it it out. Please bring the info back. It is not duplicating the same information as it is concentrating on the importance of dubai airport.

Lists of parks

Hi Cambridge Bay Weather,

List of parks in British Columbia isn't a duplicate of List of British Columbia Provincial Parks; the former list includes all parks in the province (regional parks, provincial parks, and national parks), while the latter is restricted only to parks which are specifically designated as "provincial parks". Would you mind if I reverted your redirect of the more inclusive list?
