Hi, welcome to the seventeenth volume of my talk page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Eckerd is becoming Rite Aid.jpg

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Eckerd is becoming Rite Aid.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:19, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TV episode summaries

Regarding this post at User talk:GLCFan1, the instructions for {{Episode list}} say that the ShortSummary field should contain a "short 100–300 word summary of the episode". Although not stated, the 300 word figure is based on a 1 hour episode so you'd expect shorter summaries for shorter episodes. WP:TVPLOT specifies other lengths for episode articles. Hope this helps. -- AussieLegend (✉) 12:58, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Colorado State Highway 82

Hello! Your submission of Colorado State Highway 82 at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! MelanieN (talk) 21:06, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to ask for someone else to look at it. I had already posted my comments about the article aside from the time issue, and I have now posted to say that I am fine with someone else evaluating the time frame. --MelanieN (talk) 22:23, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And BTW, if turns out that the time period is not strictly enforced, this becomes yet another example of what a foolish and futile rule QPQ is. QPQ requires a person to review a DYK submission, even though they are not familiar with all the ins and outs of DYK practice - how sometimes a requirement may not be strictly enforced, and other times there may turn out to be a whole bunch of additional "secret" requirements like Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines (when I got those thrown at me back in May I swore I would never nominate another DYK again!) Do you feel that QPQ has value? --MelanieN (talk) 22:31, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your response. No problem, you haven't come on strong; I am not terribly familiar with DYK procedure, especially the "unwritten" rules, and I may well have gotten this wrong. I've been following with interest this discussion: Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Let's extend the 5 day viability period to 10 days. I'm waiting to see if another user agrees that your 10-day submission is OK; if so, I will post support to that discussion (to expand from 5 days to 10) on the grounds that the deadline already is 10 days, but it just doesn't say so. (No comment on the QPQ rule, huh? ;-D ) --MelanieN (talk) 02:48, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see that no one has responded at the nomination. Please feel free to invite someone familiar with the guidelines to come and take a look at it. --MelanieN (talk) 02:58, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Daniel, I'm reviewing this right now. Just to avoid any objections, please stick an inline citation after that two-sentence paragraph that beings the section of "Route Description". Everything else looks sourced. Give me some time to read through all this. — Maile (talk) 20:27, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • My apologies for the misunderstanding. I do blame QPQ, which results in submissions being reviewed by people who are not familiar with all the unwritten rules and interpretations. --MelanieN (talk) 14:27, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your understanding. I assumed the rule would be strictly enforced because in my experience other requirements, particularly the requirement for sourcing, are enforced to the letter and even beyond the letter of the published rules. In two out of my last three DYK nominations, the reviewers have insisted that every sentence, and sometimes even parts of sentences, be supported by an inline citation - and when I questioned this pointing to the "at least one citation per paragraph" guideline, the reviewer said "certain rules are applied stricter than for Good Articles actually." You see why a less-experienced DYK reviewer can find it confusing! --MelanieN (talk) 15:07, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The dog ate my homework, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Punchline (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

re The dog ate my homework

Very nice work there Daniel Case. I think a DYK is in order, hmmm? I think we could share it, does that sound fair? Do you want to do it or shall I? (I'd rather you did if you're up for it.) Herostratus (talk) 03:29, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also... wow, 100,000 edits. You have a very impressive resume (and I'm pretty we've interacted before, but I have a terrible memory for names -- a blessing sometimes, but mostly a curse -- and I can't recall the circumstances). Anyway, FWIW you are an Auspicious Looshpah (if you don't mind my saying so), or in more formal terms:
This editor is a
Master Editor II
and is entitled to display this Platinum
Editor Star.


and at this point you could continue on autopilot for several years and still climb the ladder. Thanks for all your many contributions, cheers, Herostratus (talk) 03:45, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism warning

I do usually sign my posts (not boxed templates though). Interestingly the examples in Wikipedia:Vandalism#Warnings include the signature, while Template:Uw-vandalism4im doesn't feature the signature at all (I think this influenced me at the time!). memphisto 16:10, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Followup RFC to WP:RFC/AAT now in community feedback phase

Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:27, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

They got blocked for these edits? Is there a long-term issue that I'm not aware of? --Bongwarrior (talk) 18:25, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TheFarix (correctly) didn't even warn the user for those edits, and didn't report the user to AIV. Unsourced good-faith edits aren't vandalism, and the IPs most recent warning was a level 2, two days ago. "Genre-warring" sounds like a guess to me. --Bongwarrior (talk) 18:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please. The anon seemed to be moving in the right direction. --Bongwarrior (talk) 18:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Pseudosound

Hello!

Can you take a look at this user please? I blocked him before because of the username, I googled it earlier after he was reported at AIV and found it to be the name of a business http://www.pseudosound.net/.

I blocked him because even though he's not made any promotional edits yet, I thought simply the name is in breach of WP:CORPNAME given that the whole username is the business name. To quote WP:CORPNAME "The following types of usernames are not permitted because they are considered promotional: Usernames that unambiguously consist of a name of a company, group, institution or product (e.g. AlexTownWidgets, MyWidgetsUSA.com, TrammelMuseumofArt)."

However, user is now asking that my block is reviewed. If you're on and you get a sec can you please take a look? If I'm wrong feel free to undo my block :)--5 albert square (talk) 00:18, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discussions concerning non-tropical cyclones

Since you've been involved with articles on non-tropical cyclones in the past, I thought this might be a relevant area for you to give some input. At the moment, there is discussion going on about whether we should adopt The Weather Channel's new procedure of using names for winter storms that will have a significant impact. There are two discussions going on: an AFD of the article about the current winter storm season and a proposal to not use TWC's naming system as the title for an ongoing storm. Out of full disclosure, I've started both of those discussions, and while I have my own opinions, I wanted to get fresh opinions from editors who, like me, have a history of editing similar articles in the past. Thank you. Inks.LWC (talk) 20:51, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you have a look at the recent additions to the External links of the above article? I guess law firms there are commercial publicity and should be removed... Thanks and all the best. --E4024 (talk) 17:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daniel -- if you have a sec, could you take a look at Wikipedia_talk:STiki#AIV_Reporting? —Theopolisme 00:16, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Rifair

He seems to have made a couple of contributions other than the COI Rifair article, and even that wasn't dreadful, so I have no objections. I assume you mean allowing him/her to create a new user name rather than reinstate the old name. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:21, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
