User talk:Shawnc

I award this Barnstar to Shawnc for his fine contributions to everything martial arts related, especially for creating new articles and organizing categories.
March 5 2006, -Marcus-.

Welcome!

Hello, Shawnc, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Try our tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
Keep the Five Pillars of Wikipedia in mind, and remember to write from a neutral point of view.
Sign your posts on talk pages using the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~, or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~.
Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask a question at the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome, and good luck!

MMAStatbox

Very funny indeed! (for other readers: Shawnc tried to add the MMAStatbox to the Royce Gracie archive just five seconds after I´ve added it myself!). They said great minds think the same at roughly the same time when surrounded by the same context (that´s why, they also claim, so many inventions happens to be "invented" by different people, in different places, at almost the same time). Hope it´s true, and not the other way around: "stupid people always think the same stupid things"... let´s hope we are the smart ones, not the stupid ones, only time will tell... (i´m in a kind of humorous mood tonight!) regards and thanks, Loudenvier 03:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Argumentum ad populum

hey shawnc, my fault, i confused the two ad-whatevers terms. i think the page looks good, whats the difference between renaming and redirecting? Spencerk 07:15, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Martial arts categorization

Happy to help. But based on what you have worked on, you have fallen into my trap: You might be the person who can handle the one category in the Sportspeople section that I can't: Martial arts practitioners. There's a large number of different martial arts (hapkido, for example) that I don't know's a subcategory of what. Sometimes an article states it (Jackie Chan doesn't practice kung fu, for example), but sometimes not. So without that knowledge I can't really handle the mass of uncategorized people in the Martial arts practitioners main page. Maybe you can?--Mike Selinker 14:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at Category:American_martial_artists. This is how I'd like to see all the martial artists categorized as they get moved out of the main section. Note that this will result in a single entry under the Category:Sportspeople by nationality subcategory of ("X" martial artists). Make sense? If so, please move anyone you feel comfortable moving appropriately.--Mike Selinker 21:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Wushu vs Kung Fu

I am not too sure if the two terms are exactly referring to the same thing. As far as Hong Kong is concerned, it's called kung fu there, both in English and in Cantonese. — Insta ntnood 09:23, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome. People use kung fu and 功夫 predominantly whenever they talk about martial arts, e.g. to refer to the genre of films and dramas. In fact 武術 is far less frequently used, except for sport when 武術 is the official name of the particular events (e.g. Asian Games). — Insta ntnood 10:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

They may be similar, but I think the current articles are good enough to discuss the differences of the two terms, the history behind, while telling they're similar, and in some certain aspects the same thing. — Insta ntnood 20:40, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization

Greetings! I'm sorry that I haven't gotten back to you about the categorizations yet, but I've been a bit busy for the last couple of days in the "real world"... I think I'll be able to look it over tomorrow. Cheers! --Fire Star 04:31, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fireball

Yeah, I have used a few calculators after I made the picture based on a few rough numbers derived from Glasstone's book. I haven't had time though to really try and re-run the numbers to see what exactly it was that mine depicts, because it certainly isn't 20 kt vs. 1 Mt. But now that you've brought it up, I might take another look at it... --Fastfission 18:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Messages for you

Hi! I seem to have received two messages ([1] and [2]) that I believe were intended for you. I'm terriby puzzled about how they ended up on my talk page, of course. —Kirill Lokshin 22:23, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One of the messages is from me, Ken Mayer. I don't know how these bizarre talk/discussion pages work. Shawn sent me a message. I clicked on Shawn's name, got Shawn's user page, which says leave a note on Shawn's discussion page.

At the top of Shawn's discussion page there's a note from Kirill ending "If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask a question at the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome, and good luck!

Kirill Lokshin 03:39, August 17, 2005 (UTC)"

I was just following orders, I didn't know whether Shawnc and Kirill Lokshin are the same person. So my message ended up on Kirill's page. I suggest removing Kirill's greeting from the beginning of Shawn's discussion page.

Advice request

Thanks, Shawnc! I was looking around and find the contributors generally include a bit description of themselves. I find that gives me some perspectives to their entries. I am all for deleting anything that does not fit into the guideline of Wikipedia. Is it advisable that I delete the main article "Hal.Lee-McWhorter"? Also, as I am not familiar with the rules, what is a "user page" as compare to a main article? Regards, - Hal

Advice request - follow-up

Hi Shawnc, I moved the text to the user page following the link you provided - thanks! I realize the main article page has already been deleted. Regards, - Hal

CSD templates

I answered on on the db-reason talk page, as you indicated. It will be nice to have a centralized discussion there, I think there has been too much ad-hockery with those templates. Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 13:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think that 'nocat' is a very bad idea. It's only reason for existence seems to be that it makes testing the templates easier (but anybody who doesn't know who templates work has no business working with speedy deletions); and if this parameter is used improperly it will mess up the category system, by listing speedy-deletable articles in the wrong category, or nowhere at all. R adiant _>|< 18:11, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alright!

I'll try to find appropriate references. I've tried to have links in the major articles i've written, but the stubs are incomplete in that aspect. Which facts or terms do you think that should be referenced, and do you mean footnoting? Also, is it enough with external links in some stubs, or should there be a specific "references" section?

And about the armlock article. I was working on it yesterday, and was going to propose that the stubs armbar and shoulderlock would be merged into it. The reason is that there is confusion about whether keylocks are shoulderlocks or elbow locks(alnd if i include some elbow locks i should include armbars too). And after looking into the matter i found out that they can be either one, which was why i tried to write an integrated article. I fell asleep yesterday before i could put up "suggested merging" signs ont he other articles. If the armlock article gets too crowded we can separate it, but so far it looks logical and resonable i think.

Anyways, great job with the grappling categories, i think they'll come in handy, and also all the work you've done in the martial arts section. ---Marcus- 12:24, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So what do you think about merging armlocks to the elbow and shoulder? I've got the discussion here: Talk:Armlock ---Marcus- 13:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wong Jack Man

(From Talk:Bruce_Lee) I've wanted to read that Chinese Pacific Weekly article for a long time, and you're the first person I know of who has seen it. Could you possibly get a digital copy of it? I could probably do a translation of it for interested readers. Shawnc 14:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do my best. I saw it at my friend's father's house (he studied under Wong Jack Man) years ago. I haven't spoken to my friend's dad in a while, but I will try to connect with him and at least get another look at the article. He still lives here in Oakland, so hopefully I can make it happen. Evidentally I arrived at a holiday party about a half hour after he had left a few weeks ago, and I was going to ask him about it. Another reason to be on time. At least occasionally. Reggaedelgado 00:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

unsourced

You really shouldn't be adding this tag to all sorts of random undisputed pages. I noticed these:

It seems you've decorated a bunch of martial arts articles as well. You're doing two things:

needlessly calling in to question the accuracy and NPOV of articles
making the "unsourced" template become ignorable

A bit more on that second problem: Most people instinctively click "OK" when a Windows dialog box pops up. Mentally, there is little awareness that the dialog box was ever there. People click "OK" before they really see the damn thing. They have been conditioned to be this way by the overuse of annoying dialog boxes.

Tagging articles all the time will make the tagging be ignored. It becomes invisible to frequent wikipedia visitors, while being disturbing to new visitors. This is bad.

If you do have some major concern, spell it out on the talk page. It may be that the experts find something to be way too obvious and well-known to document. (if we documented every fact, the documentation would outweigh the articles by 100 to 1)

24.110.60.225 03:17, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The articles I tagged did not cite references or external links, hence the tag of "unsourced". Please refer to Wikipedia:Verifiability: "When adding information: The burden of evidence lies with the editor who has made the edit. Editors should therefore provide references. Any edit lacking a source may be removed." The accuracy of all unsourced article are in question of violating Wikipedia:No original research, such as in John Seigenthaler Sr. Wikipedia biography controversy.

Fedor's Muay Thai

Shawnc, Fedor trains in Muay Thai frequently in Muay Thai with Ernesto Hoost in Holland at the Vos Gym. It is mentioned here:

http://www.graciemag.com/?c=147&a=3191 Rizzo: That is it. And Fedor looks like a small refrigerator on top with those little legs underneath. But he invests a lot in training: the same way Rodrigo goes to Cuba and I go to Holland, Fedor is now in Holland all the time training muay thai with Ernesto Hoost.

http://www.muaythaibrno.cz/links/news.php?id=397&lang=english The official website of Fedor Emelianenko reports that Fedor flew to Holland on January 28th , and will be training his Muay Thai technique with 4-time K-1 champion Ernesto Hoost .

Hi, added sources to most of the material and removed the unsourced template added by you.

Image Tagging for Image:BEngineering_2001_Edonis.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BEngineering_2001_Edonis.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Linking to Wiktionary

Hi Shawnc —

I'm wondering whether it is really necessary to link all thse articles to Wiktionary. In these articles with non-English words (capoeira, bremsstrahlung, übermensch etc) the wiktionary articles never add more information, and half the time just repeat the first line of the article. If a reader can't gain any more information by clicking on a link in an article, then I would question its value. — Asbestos | Talk (RFC) 12:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wikilinking

World War II was the single deadliest conflict the world has ever seen, causing many tens of millions of deaths. The tables below provide a detailed country-by-country count of death by side.

What should not be linked: plain English words like "deaths". People know what the word means; there is no need to call attention to it or refer them to the article on death.

What should be linked: Technical terms, unless they are fully defined in the article. However, "death" is not a technical term. Neither is "conflict"

What should also be linked: Major connections with the subject of another article that will help readers to understand the current article more fully. This can include people, events and topics that already have an article or that clearly deserve one, as long as the link is relevant to the article in question.

Linking to "death" does not help a person understand WWII deaths; the topic of who died in WWII is a political and social one; it is not about what happens when the individual dies.

Only make links that are relevant to the context. Drogo Underburrow 07:58, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects from subtopics

Why did you move all these templates around? You broke the categorization! Category redirect doesn't work. The "rewrite" puts everything into blank. The previous discussion was Keep. Although there was a suggestion that some might be renamed individually, you didn't follow the template or category rename process.

--William Allen Simpson 15:24, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to the discussion at Template talk:R with possibilities. The template was poorly named and will be renamed unless new objections are raised. Shawnc 17:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amazingly enough, I can read, such as the dates on the comments. When folks don't rename something, it's usually because it's a bad idea. Especially as the previous TfD wasn't successful. In this case, many things other than subtopics are in the category.

Moreover, there were some rather serious errors in your work. Heck, you didn't even bother to fix the numerous double redirects you created. It's taken me a couple of hours to fix. Please don't do that again.

--William Allen Simpson 17:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was a concensus on renaming the template, so could you please join the discussion there? Thanks. Shawnc 17:43, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Firmly disagree. Moreover, you are referring to a couple of offhand comments amde on the talk page 6 months ago. Finally, please follow the Talk convention and keep this on your page, rather than posting your responses to mine....

--William Allen Simpson 17:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ad hominem references

Hi Shawnc,

thanks for you input on the Ad hominem page. You are quite correct that the page doesn't cite its sources; however, I would be very grateful if on the article's talk page, you could maybe indicate which sections in particular need references. I ask this because having the banner at the top of the page gives the impression to the casual reader that there is possibly erroneous or contentious information on the page, or that some datum within is in dispute, when, to the best of my knowledge, this is not the case. I do feel that a discussion on the talk page would be a better way to go than using the "unsourced" tag; you have obviously identified some problem areas, and by sharing them, we can get some sources on there much quicker.

I look forward to your input, and thanks again. MartinRobinson 02:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unsigned message removal

Hello, I saw your comments regarding the removal of unsigned messages by users on Template talk:Unsigned. Do you know if there is any consensus on this matter? Presently, there is a user who is removing all unsigned messages from an article talk page (mostly consisting of his comments) and I was wondering where you stand on this. The motivation of the user appears to be based on a comment he made. By removing signatures, the user can give a false impression of "consensus" for his views, since the dozens of unsigned comments make it look like more than one person is supporting his position. Can you recommend any course of action? —Viriditas | Talk 22:13, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going out for a bit, but when I return I'll try to think of something. —Viriditas | Talk 22:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've made brief comments on both Wikipedia talk:Sign your posts on talk pages and Template talk:Unsigned. On one hand, it seems that the removal of signatures is disruptive, interferes with effective discussion, and approaches vandalism. On the other hand, if someone doesn't want to use their signature on their own talk page or in their user space, I think that should be allowed. Do you have an opinion on this matter? —Viriditas | Talk 09:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Motion Sickness

I posted this on first person shooter but I'm posting it again so that I'm sure you get it. I don't suffer from motion sickness wile playing FPSs, but PC Gamer has gone of this many times, and if I remember correctly, they suggested motion sickness pills. Gewehr

They did not recomend any one motion sickness pill, or type of pill, if I remeber correctly, and I cannot rember what issue it was in. They answer the question fairly often, and if it comes up again, I'll let you know. Gewehr

Alexis Bledel is multiracial.

Her father is Argentine and her mother is white. Argentine is in South America not Europe. (Oahc)

So she's not multiracial? Is she considered Caucasian? Someone told me Latinos and Caucasians are different races....how come they are the same? (Oahc)
