text of original logo

The thread got bumped recently: Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia logos#text of original logo. (I've left his talkpage link red, in case you want to welcome him yourself :) -- Quiddity (talk) 22:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. He has one of the most uniquely geeky bar pickup lines ever - "So... ladies, I don't know if you recognize me, but I created Wikipedia's first ever logo." It's awesome!

Thanks for the note. I dropped him a short post. - Banyan Tree 00:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shifta War

Hi. Thanks for contacting me. The following sentences were a mistake that I did not intend to add; I was trying to source a statement that had been removed and to format some text but I was working on the wrong edit version of the article:

"Both governments realised it was necessary if they were to hold onto the Somali lands, they had to sign a defence pact as the Somalis were far superior in military strength."

"All those measures were in direct contradiction to the Geneva Human Rights Convention."

The above sentences were apparently part of a previous editor's changes, which I noticed you partially reverted. However, they're somewhat redundant since the text already more or less covers the same material further down that same section of the article; so I agree that they're not particularly necessary. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 21:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. Cheers, Banyan Tree 03:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Solid Surface

I am regular usr of Wiki but not a contributor. In October 2007 I had written an article on Solid surface. It got deleted. I found the explantion for that today but, am not sure about it.

Solid surface is a new composite material and as such people have right to know what it is. How can we introduce this entry again? --Shehabi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shehabi (talk • contribs) 11:58, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, two submissions for the title Solid surface, yours and another user's, were deleted for being written as an advertisement, for failing to provide sources proving that the term was one of general use rather than something thought up by one person, or both, as well as being written in a manner so outside the style standards of the site that it was easier to delete them and wait for a submission that met the standards than ask a volunteer to fix them. It appears that the current article Solid surface is on the same topic as your submission, so the current article will need to be improved and added to.

If you wish, I can put a copy of your deleted submission in a user subpage so you can use it as reference while improving the article. However, replacing current article with your old submission will likely result in one of two outcomes: deletion of the article or, if a user realizes what happened, reversion of your edit and a warning issued against you not to vandalize the site. Wikipedia editors tend to have low tolerance for articles about a commercially produced form of tabletop that begin "Before the beginning of civilization..."

Before further editing the site, I encourage you to revisit Wikipedia:Tutorial as submissions that are simply unformatted masses of text obviously pasted from another source are the most likely to draw the unwelcome attention of administrators. Similarly, I recommend Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. - Banyan Tree 01:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From Shehabi: May be the style of the article written was not as desired on Wiki, however it was a generic article that I had written for a construction magazine. It generally explained the material, its composition and various standard (codes) that currently guide the production. In my view it was more general than the current article.Shehabi (talk) 15:26, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, please make sure you own the copyright of the material you submitted to the magazine. Under the terms of submission, it is sometimes the case that the magazine owns the material it publishes, in which case you would no longer be able to use it verbatim without infringing on their copyright over the article. - Banyan Tree 03:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need copy edits and comments

I noticed you made these comments on [Sino-African relations], this lead me to think you are in a good situation to help Onopearls to copyedit and comment on Chinese involvement in Africa. I wrote this larger article with my poor English (I'm French). After Onopearls and others' copyedit, it is planed to improve the scope of each [Sino-African_relations] and [Chinese involvement in Africa], to avoid overlapping. Your copyedit and comments are welcome, hoping you may enjoy this interesting reading ;) Yug (talk) 12:49, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yug, I would like to see how the merger discussion regarding Involvement of the PRC in Africa goes before putting in some effort. I would feel silly if I spent several hours copyediting something that is subsequently merged and rewritten. Thanks, Banyan Tree 12:54, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lord's Resistance Army insurgency at FAR

I have nominated Lord's Resistance Army insurgency for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.Cirt (talk) 00:48, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you remember why?

Hi, looking at the Talk:Ojibwa, you were on the discussion for merging Chippewa with Ojibwa. Do you remember why Ojibwa and not Ojibwe? CJLippert (talk) 22:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I assumed you're referring to my terse "Yup" in 2005?

No, I'm afraid I don't recall, but I would assume it was for the idea of merging with Chippewa, rather than an particular approval for the destination title. I've been following the ongoing merge discussion at Talk:Ojibwa and it's all beyond me. - Banyan Tree 23:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology of recent TFA root

Hi BT, just wanted to pass on my thanks for your edit giving possible etymology of queen/gynaecology, and how it doesn't appear to relate to that word. Careful With That Axe, Eugene ^Talk 13:52, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

moved from my user page

Vandermeeren = Conspirationist : Thanks for this attribute . I would , like many, read the Truth on items like Kigali 1994. I see the battle in Wikipedia. But This is impossible. Why ? Truth is scientific ...impossible and always perceptional and because unkwown forces prepared the Battle in Rwanda etc.. and they cover theirs paths...still in 2009. Paranoia ? Yes and I am proud to be paranoiac in this "open society"; this is my technic of Falsification ( see Popper and Salvador Dali).

Other version : there was no preparation for Kigali-Rwanda etc... all falls without reason out the air... : normal attitude of normal person

It is interesting to see sometimes some reactions on my falsifications and other interventions .

Ugandan tables

Hi, please don't remove the tables entirely. Just remove the future population figures. Himalayan 10:05, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The figures are wrong. Keeping with the Kitgum example I used at User talk:Fsmatovu‎, the table states that the population of the town was 47,043 in 2005, not 47042 or 47044. To get this figure it uses circular logic; it takes the actual measurements from 2002 and 2008 and then assumes constant growth for all the years in-between, figures out the rate of that assumed growth, and then reports what the population would have been under the assumption of unchanging growth. It thus gives a false sense of certainty for something that is uncertain, which will either annoy people who think about the assumption being made or deceive those who don't. It's misleading at best and borderline original research at worst.

The proper way to handle this is to provide the sourced numbers, and that's all. Readers who aren't idiots will be able to make a rough approximation in their heads of the population figures of the years in-between, but it would be their problem if they're wrong, and not Wikipedia's. I'm of the opinion that we should assume non-idiocy of readers. - Banyan Tree 10:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The numbers are estimates. If it contravenes Wikipedia policy to make estimates, I will go back and re-write the articles without the tables. No problem.Fsmatovu (talk) 12:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an estimate. An estimate is "around 47000" or "between 45000 and 50000". "47,043" is precise. There's no ambiguity whatsoever about that number. It would be one thing if it is someone else's estimate, whom you could source, but it's your estimate under your assumptions of constant growth year-on-year. Just use the numbers you can source externally, and let the reader make the assumptions. That way you or the site aren't at fault if the assumption is wrong.

This is probably not the most pressing issue, but I will put removal of the tables on my to-do list for the articles I wander through. Thanks, Banyan Tree 01:37, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see that you already did so. Thanks, Banyan Tree 01:38, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth unknown

About your comment. You can read instructions Category:Date of birth unknown. It reads: This category is intended for the discussion pages of articles about deceased individuals, primarily from antiquity (although, in some cases, reaching into the 19th century). This is not a category for living people. This is also written clearly: This category should not include individuals in Category:Living people.

In User:Yobot I have a guide of how all these categories apply. If you still have questions you can conctact me.

Thanks and happy editing, Magioladitis (talk) 08:52, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are right on that. I was planning to add the year of birth missing category after the removal. That's what I originally do. Checik [2] for example. I should trust my bot scripts more than my manual edits. Thanks for contacting. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:57, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bukunzi

Hi BT,

I hope you're well. Good to see some new Rwandan related content on WP :-) I have to admit I didn't even know anythign about the Bukunzi and other small kingdoms on the periphery. Rwandan history tends to focus so much on the genocide that other aspects are forgotten.

SteveRwanda (talk) 09:31, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Steve,

It's good to hear from you. Your baby girl must be no longer a baby at this point!

I'm ashamed to admit that's my first new article in many months. It was actually my readings on the genocide that got me on this topic. Once I dug into the background of the Akazu, much of the political role of the Bakiga (labelled "northern Hutu" in a lot of contemporary sources) becomes clear, and their political peculiarities are linked into the fact that they, like the southwestern kingdoms, avoided the consolidation under Rwabugiri and were forced into the nation by the colonial power. I keep intending to wade into Rwandan Genocide and the Congo wars, but right now I think I'm more interested in expanding Rwabugiri and clarifying the role of uburetwa/ubuhake from pre-Rwabugiri through the colonial period.

This is all assuming that I don't spend another three months mostly off-wiki, of course, which is much more likely than some sort of productive period. ;)

Best, Banyan Tree 10:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed - we're into the terrible twos now, though she's still mostly a delight when not drawing on the walls or unpacking the entire contents of drawers!

I've been in a similar wiki-limbo to yourself for pretty much two years now, always with this notion that I'm going to dive in and get a second FA to my name at some point (preferably to the Rwanda article, with original inspiration from User:Amcaja's promotion of Cameroon). One of these days! In the mean time I'll content myself with reading the interesting new content that you've added about the peripheral kingdoms (and consider abstractly how the whole lot might be synthesized into one paragraph for the purposes of the succinct history in Rwanda). SteveRwanda (talk) 17:25, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sylvestre Mudacumura

I reckon we ought to create an article on this really nice kind helpful chap, who's been thoroughly misrepresented by the world media :-(!! Prunier 2009 doesn't even mention him in his index. Do you have any material on him? Buckshot06 (talk) 06:38, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... not even the slightest mention of him in my book indices. The New Times states he was part of the Rwandan Presidential Guard during the genocide and Wilson Center says: "he was the deputy commander of the presidential guard of the FAR during the 1994 genocide.", so I even looked up occurrences of "presidential guard" as well as "Mudacumura" and skimmed pages with "FDLR" and nothing. He seems to have been sufficiently mid-level that, even if he is mentioned, nobody bothered to put him in the index. Just so you don't double the work, I went through The Congo Wars by Turner, The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa by Lemarchand, When Victims Become Killers by Mamdani, The Troubled Heart of Africa by Edgerton, Eyewitness to a Genocide by Barnett, Conspiracy to Genocide by Melvern and, as a last desperate attempt, Shake Hands with the Devil by Dallaire.

Still there's enough out there for a stub. I'll put it on my to-do list if you don't handle it first.

Cheers, Banyan Tree 08:35, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, due seeing Romkena's piece, knew his background, but information on him prior to 1994 seems very scant. Went through Shake Hands With the Devil myself. What about that 'standard' work by that HRW worker - can't remember the name. Something about 'piled bodies'? By the way, have you seen S/2009/603, dated 9 November 2009, the leaked report of the Group of Experts? It's at [3] Addendum: the book I was thinking of, listed in Dallaire's bibliography, was Alison Des Forges' Leave None to Tell the Story. I'm trying to think where I might get that. Buckshot06 (talk) 03:57, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pulled from my bookshelf userpage: Des Forges, Alison (1999). Leave None to Tell the Story: Genocide in Rwanda. Human Rights Watch. ISBN 978-1564321718.

I've used the online edition myself for articles, though you could use the ISBN link to find a copy to buy, I suppose.

"Mudacura" does not occur in Des Forges. The HRW report I just used as a source for Military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has several paragraphs on Mudacura that basically boil down to "He really is the FDLR leader and he should be nicer." He's a bit of an enigma apparently. - Banyan Tree 04:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neither does Prunier, The Rwanda Genocide 1959-1994, mention him. Anyway the draft is at User:Buckshot06/Sylvestre Mudacumura - please feel free to edit it at any time. Romkena and Vennhoop say 'he has a well documented genocide file' which ICTR would have some of, no doubt. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since you've been looking at academics, would you mind giving me your opinion of the notability of Francis Beer? Buckshot06 (talk) 07:41, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[undent] Meh, never heard of him, or at least not often or prominently enough to remember hearing about him. References to him in Google books ([4] & [5]) seem to indicate that he is not "more notable than the average college instructor/professor", which is probably the standard one would have to fall back on. That said, while I'm an eventualist in most things wiki, I'm an outright inclusionist for academic journals and academics, as I believe they're valuable as bluelinks in references. So even if I wouldn't start an article on him, I'm not tempted do anything besides trim it down to a a paragraph or two of bio and academic description and list of works to remove the COI self congratulations. Like I said, meh. - Banyan Tree 10:23, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, also it looks like you're still cutting and pasting from different sources for the draft Sylvestre Mudacumura article before smoothing it out and rewording. I'll wait until there's a live version to see if there's anything I should add. Thanks, Banyan Tree 10:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've now got hold of Leave None to Tell the Story, and the presidential guard commander was a major, which could make Mudacumura a captain, which might well explain why he isn't mentioned. On another front, do you know anything of the town of Ngerengere in Tanzania? We have an article for the river, but not the town. The reason is the Tanzanians' only flying jet fighters, Shenyang F-6s, are reported at that airfield by Air Forces Monthly, November 2009, p.29. Cheers and best wishes for Christmas, Buckshot06 (talk) 01:21, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Google Maps, that doesn't look like an actual town at all. A single runway (with fighters on both the north and south ends), maybe one hanger, and groupings of buildings that are too large and well organized to be a real village, so I'm assuming it's barracks, housing, and administrative and maintenance buildings supporting the planes. Seems to be an air base only, rather than a town with neighboring base. Happy holidays, Banyan Tree 01:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you had a good Christmas and new year's as well. Sylvestre Mudacumura is live now, so please contribute when you can. Best wishes for 2010.. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks for cleaning that up - it was very rough, bordering on copyvios, but thought we needed to have the information. Thanks again, Buckshot06 (talk) 02:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Harold Brathwaite Secondary School

In 2007, you deleted Harold Brathwaite Secondary School as unduly promotional. Could you please restore it, either to my userspace or to article space? These days, most high school articles are kept at AfD, and unduly promotional text in them is dealt with by cutting the article down as much as necessary rather than deleting it (at least, that's how I prefer to deal with it. It's possible that an earlier version of the article was less promotional. – Eastmain (talk) 04:20, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Renamed user ixgysjijel/Archive 16, I would like to invite you and anyone watching who shares an interest in moving forward constructively to a discussion about Biographies of Living People

New editors' lack of understanding of Wikipedia processes has resulted in thousands of BLPs being created over the last few years that do not meet BLP requirements. We are currently seeking constructive proposals on how to help newcomers better understand what is expected, and how to improve some 48,000 articles about living people as created by those 17,500 editors, through our proper cleanup, expansion, and sourcing.

These constructive proposals might then be considered by the community as a whole at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people.

Your Ridiculous Accusation

[6] Are you accusing me of blanking my own talk page? Your accusation is quite ridiculous. The discussion is carried on in the talk pages of the relevant articles. Do I need you permission to clean up my talk page? I believe, due to your own policy, you will not delete this comment until the dispute between you and me is settled.218.216.99.67 (talk) 08:51, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can probably count the number of times I've blanked something on my own talk page over the past five years on one hand, and this hardly rises to the level required.

The last edit by another user to your talk page was a warning that you were violating WP:3RR. Two hours later, you removed that warning, along with other various discussions indicating a pattern of disruptive and/or tendentious editing, without an attempt to respond to the issues raised. It certainly gives the appearance that you are removing content from your discussion page that portray you in a bad light, which is most of the discussions.

So yes, I will continue to revert attempts by you to remove current or recent disputes/warnings from your own talk page. If you continue, I will treat it like any other vandalism, including by removing your editing privileges. I consider that fair warning. Also, I encourage you to use the system described at Help:Archiving a talk page when your talk page becomes overly long. Blanking old discussion, even by users who don't habitually get into disputes, is considered somewhat anti-social. Thanks, Banyan Tree 09:47, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, read wiki policy. WP:DRC

"If a user removes a comment from their own talk page it should not be restored."

WP:UP#CMT

"Policy does not prohibit users, including both registered and anonymous users, from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. Deleted warnings can still be found in the page history. Repeatedly restoring warnings does nothing but antagonize users, and can encourage further disruption; removal of template warnings is rarely an urgent or important matter, and it is often best to simply let the matter rest if other disruption stops."

I can also count the number of blanking of my talk page. Once. You can see here. [7] In the entire history of my talk page, the size decreased only three times. Once by you, once by Caspian blue and once by myself. Are you saying cleaning up once is too much?

Lets see what I deleted on February 1. [8]

-I deleted a welcome message.

-I deleted a 2 year old comment by Wikipeditor, who asked for a source which has been provided.

-I deleted comments by User talk:Caspian blue about mimizuka. The topic was extensively discussed in the talk page of mimizuka. If you read the page, you can see his accusation was baseless.

-I deleted 3RR by Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) about Japanese addressing system. The topic is discussed in the talk:Japanese addressing system. I did not reverted 3 times, in the first place.

Your comment on Battle of Nicopolis is left there, because that was about a contribution by someone who happens to share the ID with me.

You wrote, "indicating a pattern of disruptive and/or tendentious editing, without an attempt to respond to the issues raised." You are wrong. I responded at the relevant talk page or the talk page of the user.

If you revert my talk page again, I will call a real administrator of your behavior against wiki policy.218.216.99.67 (talk) 12:13, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
