A barnstar for you!

The Cleanup Barnstar
Thanks for your removal of cruft, etc. from Cody Martin! I had been trying to remove cruft a couple months ago, but I had hit a roadblock where I wasn't sure what warranted removal and what should have been kept. However, after you removed those things, I realized just how crufty they were (I'm weird like that). Anyway, thanks again! - Purplewowies (talk) 16:34, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
...and there's still a lot more! Speaking of that, how would you feel about a character merge? Maybe the main five or six into one list? There's just so much unsourced material in there...Regardless, thanks for the barnstar! It is much appreciated. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 16:59, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
About a merge, since you're the second person to suggest it to me (the first being here), I'd have to say I feel it's okay and probably even beneficial to merge them. I mean, I'm kinda partial to the characters having articles if at all possible (though that may just be my fangirl-ness of this show trying to butt in), but I had real trouble trying to find anything real-world about Cody, reception especially. And the group of character articles are mostly undersourced in terms of real world treatment, with London by far the most real world sourced of the group. Two questions:
  1. What would happen to any creation or reception (i.e. real-world) sections? Would they exist after the merge? (I'm quite sure they would be unless they were unencyclopedic/unsourced, but I'd like to make sure.)
  2. Would the characters be merged into a new article or an already existing one?
- Purplewowies (talk) 19:36, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  1. The logical thing would be to have a subsection discussing just that. So it would be ==London== then content, then ===Reception (or something)=== then content, then ==Next person==. That sound good?
  2. Were it up to me I would probably create List of ... Characters, and merge the already created list of minor characters into it. Everyone wins, especially the people who only have to watch one article, instead of 15. ;) Nolelover Talk·Contribs 21:18, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me. :) I think your suggestion for where the articles would go is a good one. We should just merge all the characters into one character list. - Purplewowies (talk) 01:34, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. I'll try to work on that...soon...I hope. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 01:38, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Anybody (like, say, me) could perform such a merge, right? Or do we need more consensus? I'd be happy (though a bit nervous) to merge the articles myself if you don't have time. - Purplewowies (talk) 03:47, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Go right ahead! I would create a new article, copy each individual article there (and severely trim them), then add the list of minor characters and create redirects all around. Just make sure you correctly attribute the material in your edit summaries ("merging and redirect to [[]]", "merging material from [[]]", etc). Nolelover Talk·Contribs 13:55, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
After attempting to merge the articles around two hours ago, I think it would be best to seek more consensus, since the merge was reverted pretty quickly after being done. - Purplewowies (talk) 08:18, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mmm....AL makes some good points. Maybe it would just be better to let well enough alone. =/ Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:27, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation Appeal

Articles for Creation urgently needs your help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1695 submissions waiting to be reviewed.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Are you autoconfirmed?
  5. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog.

Heh, and where was I when I first saw the orange bar? Nolelover Talk·Contribs 20:09, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, it happens to all of us. :p Unfortunately, I could find no way to shorten the links. I guess it's because the URL has urdu characters in it, and therefore has to use a special code.

Vandalism?

The changes in the article in question is not an act of vandalism. It is about getting the facts right. I have also provided information which was not included in the article in question, North Coast Cartel.

P.S. When I was 14, a member of said cartel, in a drunken rage, pointed a gun at me as I exited a nightclub because he fancied my girlfriend - back then they allowed people who were underage into nightclubs. If there is anyone who wants knowledge spread about this nefarious cartel, it's me. But I would very much appreciate it if it were done in an accurate manner.

Thank You Very Much,

Have a Nice Day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.109.127.214 (talk) 18:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for labeling your edits vandalism. You are right; I was wrong to do so. However, you need to know that you can't just revert everyone, even if you are right. Then, regardless of the content, your editing becomes disruptive. Simply reverting and edit-warring with three or four editors will never be productive - your best bet is to go to the article's talk page and explain your situation. I'm rather busy IRL atm, but if you wish, I can help you in a day or two. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 15:50, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes to the Doon School page

Thank you for cleaning up the article. But I strongly feel that 'Historic links' and 'Exchanges should be out of Affiliations'. That is because it gives out the wrong idea.

Troy's hair clearly has more lasting notability... b) Would that article have to follow BLP, or should WP:Biographies of living parts of people become a blue link?

Deletion of my latest contribution "Project'Or RIA"

Hi Nolelover,

first let me thank you, for your deeply commitment agains missuse of Wikipedia.

There are lot of open source initiative with same deep commitment as you did. One is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotproject", another is "Project'Or RIA". Dotproject is dealing with the same topic as Project'Or RIA communtiy, but with another approach.

It is very interessting, that dotprojects contribution is approved and my contribution is deleted. I set up my contribution page with nearly the same content as dotproject (and we know, dotproject is approved). And now you delete my contribution "Project'Or RIA". I'm sure you see, from an external perspective, it looks there are double standards applied.

To clarify my person. I have no commercial interest in this open souce product. I'm a convinced user of this product and contribute a lot of my privat lifetime to this project community.

I can't see any reason, why my contribution is deleted. And if there is a reason to delete, than you have to apply this to all contributions which dealing in the same field.

Thanks for your kind support.

cleverchild. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.122.80.37 (talk) 08:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there 62. First of all, each article is judged on its own merits, so dotProject makes absolutely no difference to whether or not your article will be kept. However, you might be interested in knowing that I have nominated dotProject for deletion as well. Regardless, there was a very good reason why your article was deleted: read WP:42 (it's short), and tell me if Project'Or passes that "test". Yes, I should apply this standard to all contributions in the field. However, I'm a volunteer, and I don't have to spend all my time looking for non-notable software, and no one else has to either.

Your review at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/rough diamonds

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback on our suggested "Rough Diamond" wikipedia page. We understand a wikipedia page for "Diamonds" already exists but the information for rough diamonds on that page is limited to its history tied to De Beers and and what happens to rough diamonds as they undergo the cutting and polishing process. There is a history and use of rough diamonds that is separate and different enough from the history and use of cut/polished diamonds to warrant a separate page. The top wikipedia search result for "Rough Diamonds" (plural) currently stands as a rock album, which we believe is incomplete information.

A wikipedia page for "Rough Diamond" (singular) consists of a one line description. We would merely like to build a more robust description and explanation of rough diamonds so that the public can better understand how it is different from a cut/polished diamond.

Thanks for your consideration and let us know if you have any further questions. Mjshampine (talk) 18:05, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Mjshampine, and thank you for your work and submission. I think you're mixing up the pages Diamond and Diamond (gemstone). The Diamond page should be about the rough stone (while Diamond (gemstone) should be about the cut product), so you should feel free to add your material there.

Hehe, no problem. I'm glad to see you decided to help out with copyediting (and Wikipedia in general), and I probably should have guessed your age from your username. ;-) Anyway, since you have imported the tool, it should already be working for you. Now, whenever you open up an article, the button (page size) will be in the collapsed "Toolbox" menu on your left. In this image, it would appear in the extreme bottom left, right under "Special pages". You'll know when you've clicked the right button, because more of the text will be highlighted and some "Document statistics" will appear at the top. To remove that, click the "page size" button again. If the button is not there at all, then we'll need to re-import the script. Tell me if you've got it. :) Nolelover Talk·Contribs 22:54, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, each article is judged on its own merits, so the other article is kinda irrelevant. However, the main problem is the mission statement and lists of products.

I learnt Carnatic and Hindustani music from a young age. In college I used to participate in various music competitions and win prizes. At a prize distribution ceremony, singer Srinivas appreciated my voice and style of singing. He told me to do a demo cassette and approach music directors. This made me think about playback singing as a career. I made a demo CD and got in touch with leading music directors such as Harris Jayaraj and D. Iman. Harris immediately called me and made me sing in harmony with others for the film Anniyan. Iman made me sing my first solo number ‘Varungala Vittukkarane’ in the film Aanai featuring Arjun.

How it felt

I felt very happy. But the critic in me was not happy at all. Whenever I listened to my own song, I would criticise it. I used to feel I could have done a better job. But my biggest critic is my mother Lalitha. She is a veena player and is good at drawing too. At the most, she will say I’m improving day by day but I’m yet to hear her say she is satisfied.


How life changed Life has not changed much for me. I’m happy to be in this profession but my passion for singing overrides everything else. I think Yuvan Shankar Raja is one of the best music directors today. I have sung three songs for him. They are ‘Oru Nalaikul Ethanai Kanavu’ from the film Yaaradi Ne Mohini. The other two films are Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram and Azhagai Irukkirai Bayamai Irukkirathu. The best compliment for me is he has recommended my name to his father Ilaiyaraja who has given me a song in Uliyin Osai and a song in the forthcoming Dhanam. I was happy when he gave me the chance to sing for an album on Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. I have also appeared in an ad with other singers for Chennai Silks. I have sung nearly 50 songs in the four South Indian languages — Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
