Sorry that i didn't respond to your messages for a while. I'm having a hard time editing the references the right way, I don't know how to set them up right. I don't want to ruin the page or make it a bad article but the fact that I can't fix the citations right is negatively effecting the page. So if could, could you try to help me fix the references or show me how to because I'm very confused on how to do them correctly. Sorry for any trouble that I have caused you or the articles page. - Ashley92995

Thanks for the example on how to create a good reference, I think I understand how to do it now, I just edited and corrected all of the refs in Albas Charites and Politics section in the her personal life section, so if you could review it and tell me if I did it right it would be helpful.

What if i revert my edits that I've recently done to Alba's careen section, could you leave other edits, because I agree a majority of my edits aren't to very important to the article (adding non-major things), but some are, so If I remove things that are unnessisary on my own, and you review the page after I'm done and like it can you leave my other of my edits alone, or you can tell me what you don't like and I'll remove it.

Im going to re-edit and undue a majority of my edits, If you like the way the page is when I'm done could you not un-due my other edits.

I just edited, and finished the article. I compared the article before I edited it and after I finished editing it and It does look the same, thou some notable differences are that I added a qoute box in Public Image section, minor edits to Early Life, and relationships, a photo to Career Section, added a Other Awards Chart to Awards section, added The Killer Inside Me, and Valentines Day to career section, and added the the shark incident, and her offer to act free for the aids foundation to the Charity's section.

Also, thanks for being understanding, and for helping me. - Ashley92995

Linguistics : See Also Branches and fields

Hi

Just been adding a few wiki links to the Dyslexia : Orthography article including the Linguistics and i noticed the large lists in the See Also section under the heading of Branches and fields. Would this Navigation Navbox code help, it is only an outline but you could copy and paste the real lists of articles from the linguistics article

I hope it can be useful dolfrog (talk) 03:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

That's a good suggestion. We already have {{Linguistics}}, though, so this might be redundant to it. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 03:34, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

But it it would not be practical to add your {{Linguistics}} at the bottom of an article with other similar navigation bars. We could add the new type of bar say to the bottom of the Dyslexia : Orthography above the "Dialects and accents of English by continent" nav bar dolfrog (talk) 03:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. There is probably a standard way to make horizontal templates; see, for example, {{journalism}} and {{journalism footer}}.

You might want to leave a note at Template talk:Linguistics or just Talk:Linguistics, because I know the current organization of the {{linguistics}} template is very disputed. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 06:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Deleting of 21st Century Punk Rock Volume #1 article

The film 21st Century Punk Rock Volume #1 is my own work and I own all the copyrights. I have signed papers giving me permission for all the content on that film and my website to the film is located at http://21st.punkrockdemo.com . The film is released and distributed through Attic Tan Records and is available everywhere that sells dvd. Is there a way the article can be restored?

Punkrockdemo (talk) 05:11, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

There are three reasons the article cannot be restored right now. First of all, Wikipedia has a notability guideline: we are only allowed to write articles about things that have received significant coverage outside of Wikipedia. To restore your article, you would need to provide things like reviews, news coverage, etc., demonstrating that this film is important; Wikipedia cannot be used for advertising. Wikipedia:Notability (films) has more information on the specific guidelines for films.

Secondly, regardless of who owns the copyright, we do not want text copied and pasted from somewhere else. Even if you hold the copyright and technically have permission to copy this text, it is lazy writing and it makes Wikipedia look bad. If you want to write about this film, it's better to write from scratch.

Thirdly, since you produced the film, you are in a conflict of interest. Wikipedia strongly discourages writing articles about yourself or your work. You can click that link for more information. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 10:36, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

DYK for World Uyghur Congress

On July 15, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article World Uyghur Congress, which you recently nominated. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Suggestion for Talk:July 2009 Ürümqi riots

How about it?:) Seb az86556 (talk) 18:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

That's a good idea. Why don't you suggest it at the talk page (and post this sample) so people can work on tweaking and preparing it? rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:46, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

PNAS images

Hi Rjanag,

I apologize for any misunderstandings. I work for PNAS and have been advised to update the cover image roughly every month. I will refrain from uploading the images with incorrect licensing claims. How do you suggest I upload the images? Are you suggesting I can only upload one image as "fair use"? Is that our limit?

Please send along further details. Apologies, again, for the confusion.

My talk page/user page

I was rather concerned that you have been fiddling with my user and talk pages. I was under the impression that these are my spaces and that, so long as I don't put anything nasty on them about other Wikipedians, there is no need for anyone else to touch my user page at least. So, I would ask, politely, that you please leave them alone in future. Thankyou.--Beehold (talk) 18:33, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

You are correct in that a user page is more your space than an article it is, but it is still not 100% "your" space (users do not own their pages) and there are some general guidelines. Specifically, your talk page is meant to be a place for people to leave you messages, and if you fill it with multiple copies of an article it is difficult for them to do so. You are not specifically violating any policy, though, so if you insist then I won't complain if you keep using your talkpage to repost that material.

As for your userpage, it is more important there the you include the {{user page}} template. User pages are not supposed to be used as mirrors of deleted articles (it's fine to put an article there while you're working on it, but just copying it there to circumvent its deletion is generally not ok—see WP:UP#COPIES), and if an article is being used as such you need to tag it so that any readers who stumble across it understand that it's not a Wikipedia article, just a user's page. This standard has been pretty strictly enforced in the past, and I must request that you add the {{user page}} template back. I don't care if you keep multiple copies of the article on that page (I don't understand why you do it, but you have the right to do it if you want), but it is important that you leave the tag there. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:38, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

This looks fine, thank you.

May I also suggest that you add level-1 section headers like

=Version 1=

=Version 2=

etc., between the different versions posted on your talk page? That would make it easier to see why there are different copies there. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:48, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: Market transition payment and Market sharing quota

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

I've added some explanation to Market transition payment. It's by no means perfect, but it does explain what these payments actually are, so I hope it's at least stub-worthy.

At Market sharing quota, I did some research, and it terms out that this is a technical term in Canada. This wasn't immediately clear because I used lower case letters in the name. To clarify this, I moved the article to "Marketing Sharing Quota" and added a Google Books source supporting the notion. (However, if this still makes you uncomfortable, you could move it to Marketing Sharing Quota (Canada).

Appreciate the feedback. Agradman ^talk/_contribs 19:48, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Edit Warring

The page in question was deleted as part of a broad WP:POINT campaign by User:TTN, and the article should stand on its own as the main character's machine, based on the standards set by other fictional series. 68.228.105.90 (talk) 14:22, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review takes too long, and since it's no longer being actively edited and the original deletion was in bad faith, I'd rather just be bold and restore it. I'm also working on gathering some real world notability stuff to solve its problems. 68.228.105.90 (talk) 14:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Um, there isn't a strong consensus against it? The only person reverting is doing so in bad faith, as can be seen by his edit summary of "suck my dick". There's no need for this to be reviewed, just need to wait until vandals leave the article alone so I can work on it. 68.228.105.90 (talk) 14:40, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

And per WP:FICTION, the article in question has plenty of notability through cultural impact, based upon the model kits and other merchandise produced for it. In addition, as the main machine of the series, it deserves an article of its own based upon the precedent set by articles on items like the Starship Enterprise or RX-78-2 Gundam. I'd be able to add this stuff in if you people would quit bothering me.

Sadly, the repeated deletion of this and other articles is an example of the willful ignorance and bias against Wikipedia articles on mecha, and the strong Western bias of the fiction standards. 68.228.105.90 (talk) 14:54, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Note

I wasn't picking a fight, I was simply responding to his posting on my own talk page. And although I restored the first warning I gave him out of ignorance, the second warning was a new warning in response to his escalation of personal attacks. I'm not harassing anyone here. 68.228.105.90 (talk) 15:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

And just to let you know, I'm not User:Wikimachine. Not sure how the other guy came to that conclusion or thinks that we "edit the exact same articles". I am a disgruntled former editor, although I haven't been banned. Took a long wikibreak after having to deal with similar issues on other articles and don't remember my password. Cheers, 68.228.105.90 (talk) 15:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

band deletion

How is my page Diabolical Exploits inappropriate. you have band pages with much less information and they are not significant in any way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darklight179 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

The presence of other bad articles doesn't give you the right to create more bad articles; see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:Don't add sewage to the already polluted pond. Wikipedia is full of bad articles and there are not many people taking the time to clean them up, so there are always going to be lots of articles around that don't meet the standards.

Anyway, the notability guidelines are not my decision. See WP:CSD#A9 and the notability guideline for bands for more detailed information. The point is, the article you created had absolutely no references (in particular, no reliable citations to third-party sources) to demonstrate why the band is significant. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 19:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

okay, i apologise and will read the guidelines before creating another article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darklight179 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Mockint

• well if an article on company like thinkgeek can be listed on wikipedia, whats the issue with mockint ??. i am not loading any biased content for the company, its just the information about the company and the kind of work they do and its nothing like a promotion or Ad content. if the wikipedia policy is to grow a big shot and then only your listing is considered, its bit hard to understand. it will be helpful if you explain in brief what sort of content might help me get its article written and listed here —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pankajupadhyay05 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

The term sovereign state is disputable clearly, why can't I change it to a POV term like kingdom? And this time, I hung a NOPV template, is that OK? Thanks. --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 02:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much, and I've already added the words you told me. Thanks again. --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 03:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry but the discussion has already been in the talk page so I thought I didn't need to start a more new one. The mediation cabal has been started for more than 10 days but no one cares about it till now. All edits should be discussed beforehand at the talk page? Oh my Goodness! That's complicated. I don't understand the rules here very much so I won't care about the discussion any more. Thanks. Goodbye. --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 04:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Because the article is in the middle of a dispute, no one involved should make edits without discussing them first?! So what I want to add should be discussed in the talk page first, or else, the article should stay at the present edition, right? It's very simple? I don't think so. Yes, I'm just leaving. It's very disappointing here. Good luck. --Apollo Augustus Koo (talk) 04:24, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
