Con Brio

I notice you proposed Con Brio for deletion (which is fair enough, I see that’s what was decided). But I noticed also that Con Brio had a couple of "other uses" tags, which have been lost in the process. Doesn’t that argue it should be a disambiguation page, (like Allegro)? How should that be addressed? Moonraker12 (talk) 14:14, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Hamlet stubs

Hi, Pubdog. I see you created stub articles for several hamlets in Niagara County. I'm not sure they meet our criteria for inclusion. Usually hamlets have very little notability and are redirected to the town in which they are located. Powers ^T 14:44, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello Lt Powers. Thanks for noticing the addition of the geography stubs for Niagara County hamlets. Given how populated Hamlets in New York is and my recent completion of many hamlet stubs for Template:Erie County, New York, I guess I wasn't aware of this notability criteria. You will note that each hamlet is referenced in the GNIS and the link is provided to it. Before deleting the hamlet stubs, could we evaluate further? I have only a few left to do in Wheatfield, New York to complete the hamlets referenced in the various Niagara County town articles.--Pubdog (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I hadn't realized there were so many, although a quick check of a few selected at random indicates that most of them are CDPs as well as hamlets, which seem to have more widely-accepted notability. I'm currently looking for someplace where these guidelines might be written down; right now it's just my perception which could easily be completely wrong. Powers ^T 17:10, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the consideration. Please look at the county templates as you peruse the various hamlets and CDPs linked to Hamlets in New York. You'll see that the "Other hamlets" links on those templates are often populated, such as for Template:Albany County, New York and Template:Rensselaer County, New York. While I may have went a little overboard with Niagara county, the ones I added to Template:Niagara County, New York were all anchored in the various town articles to begin with.--Pubdog (talk) 19:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Snuba

Your nomination of Snuba at WP:Articles for deletion/Snuba has produced some activity with several sources found. I've done my best to clean up the article and incorporate the sources as cites. I think it may now be in good enough condition for you to withdraw the nomination if you agree. What do you think? --RexxS (talk) 22:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, on second thoughts, you should let it run. If the threat of deletion encourages more folks to improve the article, it will be at GA by the end of the seven days <grin>. --RexxS (talk) 02:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Young adult (psychology)#Which to use for young adult and adolescent?

Hey, LtPowers. Will you weigh in on the above linked discussion? Do not worry; it is not as stressful an environment as the Character (arts) talk page has been these days, LOL. Flyer22 (talk) 23:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Morrow

Longstanding practice is that redlinks don't get included in situations such as this. There's no good reason to include a nonnotable group, and without an article you can't prove notability. Nyttend (talk) 13:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Moreover, the edit summaries have always made it clear that those adding the names are adding the individuals, not the band. Again: no article, no include. Nyttend (talk) 13:14, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't paying attention to the state of the band — thus I didn't observe that it had an article — because its notability is irrelevant here. If they belong anywhere on this page, these two people belong in a notable natives section, and there's no good reason to include them there. Nyttend (talk) 13:17, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that's a problem, as long as there's a source of course. Nyttend (talk) 13:20, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I really don't know contemporary music much, and I didn't understand that the band originated there. Moreover, there's always plenty of cleanup to do on these smalltown articles; if I put much effort into all the nonnotable individuals that get added to community articles, I'd never do anything else.

Statue publicly displayed since 1946 in public domain

Commons:Template:PD-US-no notice indicates that works published (in the case of a statue, "displayed without restrictions on access" is considered "published") between 1923 and 1977 are in the public domain unless they had a copyright notice. Please see discussion on Commons at commons:Commons talk:Licensing/Archive 20#question about PD-US-no notice. The SIRIS entry for the sculpture indicates that it is unsigned, and thus has no copyright notice. File:Murphree statue.jpg, another shot of the same statue, is already on Commons and has been for years (not in itself evidence, admittedly). I don't see how this file isn't valid.

Big Bad

LT, not that I want to get into any edit war with you <g>, but the reason I removed this character from List of characters in Sesame Street was because I wasn't able to find any reliable source about him or that the great Jerry Nelson performed him. I know that he exists, silly--I've only seen every Sesame Street episode made since 2000 about a dozen times each! Unfortunately, since the credits at the end of The Show doesn't list the puppeteers by their characters, that unfortunately constitutes original research. I direct you to this WP policy, WP:SPS:

Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media, whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, Internet forum postings, tweets etc., are largely not acceptable.</ref>

I would like to see this list became a FL, and the best way to do that is to make sure that every single entry can be verified by a reliable source. Unfortunately, it's not enough to say, "I saw Big Bad on an episode the other day!" or even worse, "I remember that character when I was three!" That's exactly the kind of thing I think we should avoid with this list. A more "complete" list is available at Muppet Wiki, since that's the place for that kind of thing. So I'm gonna go ahead and revert your revert. ;) If you're able to find a reliable source, please feel free to add BB back in. --Christine (talk) 19:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

AFD comments

I appreciate your commenting on the Sneer AFD. If people were simply disagreeing with my opinion or providing evidence to support their point of view, I could accept that without comment, but I'm honestly puzzled at the need for two of them to attack me personally (and a third to claim that I'm "assaulting" everyone who's edited the article, which is the most bizarre thing I've ever read in an AFD). Anyway, thanks. Propaniac (talk) 19:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Saratoga Springs

There was a reason why Saratoga Springs, New York was moved to Saratoga Springs; it would be greatly appreciated if you move it back please and bring your opinions to the talk page regarding its correct name. Thank you for your cooperation in advance.Camelbinky (talk) 20:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Ah, i came here also regarding [this move that C refers to. C invited me recently to fix up disambiguation of these. LtPowers, thanks for improving the internal wording of Saratoga Springs (disambiguation) already. But I believe that the original, New York one is the wp:PRIMARYUSAGE for the term, so by article naming conventions it gets the term. All the other locations are surely named after the New York location. I've been following discussions at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) recently and am quite sure that this treatment is correct, if you accept that the New York one is the primary one, which it is. I think we could either discuss further here or at a Talk page of the dab or the NY article, but since we're here now I will watch here. Thanks! doncram (talk) 21:10, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, fellows, but WP:PLACE#United States is quite clear on this topic: "The canonical form for cities in the United States is [[City, State]] (the 'comma convention')." Also: "Cities listed in the AP Stylebook as not requiring the state modifier may have their articles named [[City]] provided they are the primary topic for that name.... No other American city may have its article named [[City]]." (Emphasis mine.) Saratoga Springs, New York is the correct title for the article. Powers ^T 02:16, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, yes, that's pretty definitive, my mistake. I've been following the active discussion on neighborhood names where it is being held that unique neighborhood names don't need any city or state following, and that distracted me. I'll try to fix it back, but it may require an admin. doncram (talk) 02:54, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Then can one of the two of you do as my original proposal was for Saratoga Springs (disambiguation) to be moved to Saratoga Springs instead of the Saratoga Springs name being a redirect to the Saratoga Springs, New York article? If someone could do that I believe that would be the best and was my original suggestion and all I'm looking for because I dont want it to get back to where everyone was putting a hatnote on the NY page mentioning their own Saratoga.Camelbinky (talk) 05:12, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

I disagree; the city in New York is clearly the primary usage. The hatnote to the disambiguation page is sufficient. And Doncram, that's an excellent illustration of why one shouldn't re-revert like that, especially with moves. Once someone has reverted your move and given a plausible reason, that's when discussion should occur, not after you've redone the move. Powers ^T 12:41, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

NRHP nav box

Hi, Pubdog. It seems like this is a navbox, which according to guidelines should go at the bottom of articles. Is there some other documentation that advises otherwise for NRHP lists? Powers ^T 13:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello LtPowers. I added the county lists to New York and Maryland counties. I was taking my lead from various Pennsylvania lists, such as National Register of Historic Places listings in Tioga County, Pennsylvania. I'll ask User talk:Niagara, since he created the Penna pages.--Pubdog (talk) 13:48, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes

You write, in obvious good faith, "I am not yet convinced that we can't use just one infobox for all musical performers.". I'm wondering if you have read the archives covering past debates? The subject has been exhaustively discussed both in general terms and in detail, box by box, field by field. Many of us feel that infoboxes work well for quantitative data, geographical articles etc. but are tricky for biographies. This particular box has a history of continual alterations, without even considering classical music articles, with no agreement on even basic fields such as 'genre'. (Anyway, there are links to some of the main discussions here). --Kleinzach 00:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I admit I lack the time to pore through extensive archives. I can certainly understand how the infobox gets edited without regard to certain uses. I continue to think those can be resolved, but maybe the people who can facilitate that are just spread too thinly. Powers ^T 00:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough, though please note people have tried making 'Beethoven' boxes (etc.) in the past. Your last point about too few people is right, however coordinating ancillary material with main text is always difficult. My background is in print encyclopedias and we always found this problematic, even though we only put boxes in a very small percentage of articles. Wikipedia is the only encyclopedia that has ever tried to put a summary box on every article. --Kleinzach 00:58, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Regarding Manual of Style

I didn't see that rule anywhere when I opened that link, honestly. I may have missed it and am willing to give benefit of doubt, but I'd rather see it etched in stone. I feel that it is inefficient to add lines that don't even display on the page for the sake of readability. Between paragraphs, sure, its necessary for readability, but between sections is not, as those equal signs pop out quite nicely. Frankly I'm tired of being told to type for readability when the code isn't the part you are meant to read, lol.

Btw, I cleaned up this page, and your main page is next, and I will only change to your standards.--User talk:Feneeth of Borg 21:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC-5)

This is not Policy

Power read this:

Indirect style

A lot of the MoS seems to be written in an indirect style:

"The following types of quoting should not be used:" "Quotations are enclosed within double quotes." "Capitals are not used for emphasis on Wikipedia."

rather than the stronger and more direct:

"Do not use the following types of quoting:" "Enclose quotations within double quotes." "Do not use capitals for emphasis."

Was this a conscious decision? All other things being equal, the second style seems better to me. 81.129.129.192 (talk) 19:54, 24 October 2009 (UTC).

You may prefer User:Tony1/Beginners'_guide_to_the_Manual_of_Style. Tony (talk) 02:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

The less direct style is also a by-product of the MoS's status as a gudeline, not policy, and therefore not absolutely required. (Though, as has been discussed before, many treat it as "the rules".) oknazevad (talk) 22:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree with our anonymous contributor entirely. The MoS should be phrased in the imperative. It is telling people what to do, not describing the nature of the style. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry if this offends you, but I think you are taking readability to the extreme when one goes out of his way to write code less efficiently on a large scale in terms of effort required to do so. No matter how it is written it is readable if the syntax is correct, and this complacency towards efficiency is irresponsible considering none of us own or maintain the servers that this is stored on, the more efficient we are the less severs required, the less energy is used, so Wikipedia enjoys lower costs and we enjoy faster load times and smaller cache usage of our browsers. When you write a program, it is readable because it was written as efficiently as possible, although even little kid games have a better editors than this. Sure, lines and spaces are a bit different, who the hell designs a language to compensate for the number of spaces between one command or a another, its idiotic to make your language open to inefficiency intentionally. I'll post this all on the MoS talk sure, but I know they won't listen, because I'm not new to the fact that the closer you get to the authority of the MoS, the less consistent and efficient the formatting becomes. Look at the talk page, edit it and you will see inconsistencies almost immediately, and not obscure ones, everyday ones. I can't believe I'm arguing over the matter of individual bytes, for logic's sake!--User talk:Feneeth of Borg 00:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC-5)

I read what you wrote on my page, and you are right, I didn't really think about that too much, so the most efficient way to make such changes when I have something to contribute, the earlier extra characters are removed from the current version, the less times they will show up in later versions, and the less edits that are submitted the less resource use. You didn't exactly explain yourself clearly, but yes I understand, small edits aren't worth it. I will think this through before editing, and hope that people simply write pages efficiently the first time, or that wikipedia changes their logging system to only record changes and then implement them to current version of an article when they are displayed in the history page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Feneeth of Borg (talk • contribs)

Division III move

Hey, I noticed that you reverted my previous move of the article about the NCAA's Division III. I wanted to object. Your reason stated is that, since the previous title, now its current title once more, was still a redirect, no disambiguation was needed. I heartily disagree. The term "division III", or variants such as "division 3" is far too commonly used for the article about the NCAA classification to be the primary meaning. Division III should be a disambiguation page. The same with Division I and Division II.

That said, the titles for the NCAA divisions should lead with "NCAA", instead of using it as a parenthetical disambiguator. I tried to make that move for Division III, but was blocked.

Overall, I'd like to hear your thoughts. oknazevad (talk) 02:47, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Architectural Photography Tutorial

Thanks for the comment. It's always good to get feedback when you drop something out there and then wait.....and wait.....

I'm curious. appears to be perfect architectural perspective -- verticals straight and vertical (the lamp post on the left is within a couple of pixels of parallel with the traffic light post on the far right) , horizontals vanishing both ways -- so perfect, I might use it as an example, if I knew how you did it. How far away? At the tele end of a zoom? How much cropped?

My own favorite similar image (probably favorite because it was just DYK) is , which was shot with an AIS Nikor 15mm f3.5 on a Nikon D1, shows some barrel distortion at the sides even though I cropped it 12% on both sides (and 40% off the bottom). Mine is a good example of making the best of what you've got; yours is of making it perfect.. . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 16:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC) (If you choose to respond, please do so here.)

With that image, I was across the street on the fifth or sixth floor of a parking garage. I had the camera resting on a concrete railing that wasn't exactly flat but apparently was good enough. The only cropping I did was to chop 172 pixels of sky off the top. I'm glad you like the picture, but I'm really quite an amateur and I guess I got lucky. =) Powers ^T 16:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

What camera? -- can I assume a point and shoot? Were you on wide or tele? You may be "really quite an amateur", but you have a good eye.

I use a Kodak Easy Share too and think some of my pics came out pretty well. I rarely crop or modify, but do lighten from time to time. For those mods, I use Picasa 3 software. I was particularly happy with the sky on this one.--Pubdog (talk) 20:06, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that sky is very subtle. I wonder why the barrel distortion is more noticeable in Pubdog's than LtPowers' -- not mind you, that it's objectionable, but on LtPowers' theatre you can count the pixels that the verticals on the side are out of vertical only with a rectangle at full magnification -- in Pubdog's you can see it fairly easily. If we could figure out the difference, it might be helpful to you guys.

The above noted image or media file appears to have conflicted licensing. As an image cannot be both 'free' and 'unfree', a check of the exact status of this media/image concerned is advised.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello LtPowers! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 699 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Ezequiel Adamovsky - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 05:26, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

1. We assume that they're correct; it's not standard practice to leave comments like that.
2. Comments belong there, but only (1) if they're referenced, or (2) summaries of information in the article on the topic. I remember that I checked and saw that there was no article on the topic for which you left the comment. Nyttend (talk) 00:05, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

No, that's not what we do. Nearly all of them are correct, so we don't need such comments. And there's no source for your additions: a reference would have sufficed for something for what there really is a need. Nyttend (talk) 00:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Read other parts of the reference — it says that only about 1% have been found to be incorrect. And what do you mean that there's no information for the other stuff? See the source at the top of the Landmark Name column: the entire table (aside from fixes such as the coords) is derived from the NRIS source. Nyttend (talk) 02:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

West Albany, New York

I was hoping that if you have any spare time if you could do another evaluation of the class for West Albany, New York as I've expanded it as much as I can for now and believe its length and 15 references now means it surpasses that expected of a stub article.Camelbinky (talk) 01:59, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Happenstance

Heya LtPower, I just realized that I've made two replies towards you that are generally negative. I just wanted to come here in order to mention that this is pure happenstance. I'm certainly not intentionally criticizing you or your behavior specifically, or anything like that. All the best,

Titles of Eastern Orthodox officials in the article title

An RfC is currently open (Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(clergy)#naming_convention_associated_with_Eastern_Orthodox_officials) regarding the appropriateness of having position titles in the article title of religious Eastern Orthodox officials. I noticed your involovement in a recent related move discussion and thought you might offer your 2 cents. I have been finding it really hard to gain any commentary (positive or negative). Any commentary you might have would be welcomed.--Labattblueboy (talk) 20:22, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Wondering what this was about. The logo is comprised solely of text and simple geometric shapes (circles), which to me matches the definition of the template perfectly.--Terrillja _talk 16:05, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

File:Rochester Midtown Plaza - Interior.jpg.

I have restored to deleted edit; however, I am unsure why you believe that the image should not have been reduced and how such a large image file falls under Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. I feel that it will possibly be reduced again with the larger image removed to comply with this. If you could explain anything I might not be aware of or missing, I would be very appreciative as it will help me in the future when working with these types of fair use images.

Sorry - I did forget about it, and then my talkpage archive bot archived the thread automatically, so I didn't even see it any more. I sort of agree with you; I would probably suggest that the best way forward is to either talk to the author about it, or procedurally nominate the article for AfD again.
