April

Yamla, thank you for your comments. If I have valuable information or great pictures of an artist, why can't I link it to my webpage? I understand that the information should be included in wikipedia instead, but what about the pictures? Why can't I create a link to my own webpage, however I can add links to other's webpages? thanks for your response, I am new on wikipedia and I would really like to collaborate. Being part of the team of the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco TV Festival, we have taken pictures of hundreds of important actors and I think this would really enrich the content of Wikipedia. (About Evangeline Lilly) April 25th,2006 Thanks, Iliana from Biosstars

I'm sorry, Wikipedia policy dictates that it is inappropriate to add links to these sorts of sites to Wikipedia articles. Please read WP:EL for information on what external links are appropriate. You should never add a link to a site you run, which means the entire Biosstars website cannot be added by you. More generally, a collection of pictures, while a useful web resource, is not particularly valuable to an encyclopedia. Now, on the other hand, if one of your pictures can be licensed appropriately (basically, freely licensed), please feel free to add it to an article if the article does not already have a picture. Thanks! --Yamla 20:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

It was not nonsense as u suggested, i recommend that YOU double check before coming down hard on ppl who want to contribute lawfully. Check this out,

http://entertainment1.sympatico.msn.ca/Celebs/News/ContentPosting.aspx?newsitemid=KP18040609&feedname=CP-SHOWBIZ_V2&show=False&number=0&showbyline=False&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc -- unsigned comments from 24.43.168.82 (talk)

But that's not what you used to cite the information you added. The citation you used was this which says nothing about her birthday party whatsoever. Additionally, the site you provide references the UK Sun and that is most definitely a tabloid and not suitable for a Wikipedia citation. --Yamla 23:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Suri Cruise

It was a mistake, I was kidding around and didn't even realize I saved it. Secondly, do people normally get "last warnings" as their first warnings? I have never been accused of vandalizing a page before. And, as far as the subject matter goes, I am sure there has been/is much vandalism on this page as well as on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' page, but i fyou look at Holmes' page you'll see that I was actually one of the contributors to that page being named a featured article. Though I understand where you are coming from, I hope you can except my excuse and I'll expect an apology as soon as you get a chance.AriGold 22:42, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the apology. I was blocked once before (I think for one hour) for engaging in an edit war with a poster who 3 mods had been told not to do something. I kept reverting the article back to the way the consensus of mods had told the other poster it should be, so I actually thought I was doing the right thing. Needless to say, the other poster was banned for a while, but I was given a banishment as a token punishment for engaging in the edit war. I always knew that would come back to haunt me, ha. I was really ticked off when you gave me that last warning and I too apologize for being kind of mean with my response to you. Glad we worked it out.

I ment the speedy deletion tag. Jonathan235 11:56, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

RED HAIR

Wikipedia was having server issues, so I got the "wikimedia server issue page" after I hit the preview button, so I simply posted the update and would check back when things got back to normal. I am pretty consistent with my edits, so no worries. Thanks for being observant. --Cabanaguy :)

RE: Vandalism

"Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Ciara, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Yamla 17:38, 20 April 2006 (UTC)"

I just updated the charts! And I deleted unconfirmed information (The name "Fever" has never been confirmed) - that's no sign for "vandalism" ... So why should I be blocked?

You did not cite your changes. You've already been warned about that and there's a big warning specifically on the Ciara page itself. --Yamla 13:47, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Hduff2 image

hey. I don't really understand...how can I make the photo right? (CENA LUV 17:34, 21 April 2006 (UTC))

You claimed that the copyright for that image fell under the terms of the GNU FDL. However, you presented no signed statement from Maxim to this effect. Your best bet would be to scan in the letter you received confirming they have licensed this image under that license. If you did not receive a signed statement from Maxim, your next best bet is to take a look at the Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and find the appropriate one. I am not aware, however, of any fair-use justification for using that image on that page. In other words, I suspect there's no way we can use the image without violating copyright. Image copyright is a tricky thing. You generally are not permitted to use magazine scans on the Wikipedia. --Yamla 17:54, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

thanks

Thank you for your help with the Reese Witherspoon article. Greatly appreciated! --Marysunshine 22:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Why do we need a CITE to hear a pitch? I guess this is were I have a problem because like it or not, the entertainment companies are not packing them in to test their abilities scientifically. This is just one of those areas where it is easy to hear whether a pitch is high or low. I think nearly anybody can tell if a pitch is high or "glass-shattering" high. Sorry, just my two cents. Antares33712 16:02, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

We need a citation because Wikipedia has a policy against original research, because Reese Witherspoon's whistle register abilities are disputed, and because you had already been requested to provide this citation on that article's discussion page. --Yamla 16:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

RE: Urban Myth

Sorry for that. Actually i have got scrap in orkut about how Mr. Orkut earns money out of orkut. I just like to share information with others. If you are saying that the information was wrong then could you tell me how Mr. Orkut and google earns from ORKUT. Please answer this, i am curious about it.

Shattering glass

Hi there. I was just browsing and came across the article on Whistle register. I see that on the talk page you commented (some time ago) about a programme in the 70s/80s where someone demonstrated the "shatter a glass by singing" thing. I wonder: could you be thinking of Think of a Number (or perhaps its sequel Think Again), a children's maths and science programme presented by Johnny Ball on the BBC? The dates are right. And I think I saw the same thing :) Telsa (talk) 17:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

tool

the website is 99% english with some minor stuff in italian, and i added it under the fansite section, so it's normal for it to be a fansite. put it back :) Unixer 15:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

As per WP:EL, at most one fansite may be appropriate in extreme cases. There's already a fansite on that page so I don't think your addition is appropriate. If you disagree, though, please feel free to bring it up on the article's discussion page and I'll be happy to debate the merits. Thanks! --Yamla 15:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

My user talk page....

How is it that I can't delete anything from my talk page? DarknessProductionsInc 02:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

The reason you are not permitted is because this serves as a record of what other people have said to you. For example, we can see that you've uploaded several images with problems. If you just delete the comments, it looks like there's never been any problems. Additionally, they are not your words to delete. --Yamla 02:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

You should not delete external links some are good resource. --unsigned comments from Grace kalenda (talk)

Some are, but you are spamming links. Please reread WP:EL for Wikipedia's external links policy. --Yamla 02:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Spore release-date

Yamla, you recently reverted one of my additions (or rather, corrections) to the Spore (game) page for lack of citation. You're probably right, my source is http://games.telenet.be/index.php?act=one&nid=22377 which talks about the fact that both ebgames.com and gamestop.com have changed their pre-sale shipping date to the 1st of Feb 2007. Not really citable imho, so maybe it's best to keep the information as it is now. Thanks for pointing that out. Theroachman 03:45, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of account

Is there any way that I could get my account deleted? I just don't care to have an account with Wikipedia anymore. DarknessProductionsInc 16:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Account_deletion#Deleting_your_user_account for information about deleting user accounts. --Yamla 16:50, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

re: Natasha Henstridge

No need to introduce that category into the Natasha Henstridge page, she's already listed as belonging to one or more child categories.  :) --Yamla 16:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing up "child categories" to my attention. I realize now that the hierarchy should be sufficient. I've been adding "Canadian actors" to a variety of Wiki bios and maybe many of those should be reverted as well. One question regarding "British Columbia actors" category, which is where I actually started adding to actors/actresses categories. It's also listed as a "child category" so what is the best way to reconcile a "geographical" child category. Maybe that "category" should have been set up differently? Southsloper 08:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Checked out some of the Categories discussions - I'll read some more on those to understand it better and conventions :-) Meanwhile I'll stop adding "Canadian actors" and "British Columbia actors" categories until I understand the whole scheme better. Thanks. Southsloper 09:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

red hair

I have read your user page, but i do not believe that i have "added non-sense to any article". I added this list: alex 15:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC) May-Bee, but maybe it also takes a Cockney expert to proove that. I am not one. alex 16:39, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I refer to this edit. I'm sorry but it is complete crap that 'ginger' refers to the Gaiety Theatre on South King Street in Dublin, Ireland. --Yamla 16:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Nicknames for people with red/orange hair

• Tomato
• Redhead
• Ginger

I do not see "adding vandalism" within this. The term "ghey" is not scientific. I can refuse to spell a non-scientific term (within a official work contract, or something that is compareable to it). No one can be urged to use "ghey" in a non-scientific sense. "Cockney" is about, well "free usage of language", but not about "throwing rotten tomatoes".

This is not meant personally. I suggest that you use the discussion page: Talk:Red_hair, to communicate about modificatios of the article. alex 15:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

A related discussion is taking place on Talk:Red hair. I have no idea what this user is talking about with "ghey", however. --Yamla 16:38, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

It is an alternative spelling of the french word "gai", which is abused in a non-scientific meaning as of present age (2006). Several references within IRISH songs do not mean "gai" people, but the originial "merriement". It's not Cockney, but not worlds apart from britain. I can not proove if the spelling in the article is "wrong" or "right". Definetively Cockney is not "french". alex 16:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Spam complaint

My apologies. I am no Spammer. I was merely adding links to a non-commercial movie review site that I thought would add value for your readers -- since the majority of the reviews are for seldom reviewed movies. I will refrain from future edits.

No need to refrain from future edits, just please do not add links that violate WP:EL policy. --Yamla 14:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

what is vandalism?

I am sorry for what was said, but i thought it required to improve the article Red_hair. Later on, i found something which looks like vandalism to me: Aztec_calendar (at the bottom). The category information was removed. Removing information=vandalism! One does not always know, if information might be useful for someone, even if it looks "bad style", wrong or unrelevant. Personally, i do not really remove information. An attempt to add data is not vandalism! Adding links to commercial sites (unrelated) is called spamming.

I hope this shows i do not have an interest to bug people unneccessarily. alex 08:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

What?!

Hey Yamla, what the hell are you talking about, my friend? I didn't write anything about that crazy bitch called Hilary Duff? Maybe I have a dynamic IP, but I think the only thing dynamic around is your brain, azzhole! --200.93.196.236 14:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

In that case, I suggest you get a username. You'll likely get more warnings about vandalism if someone is using this IP address to vandalise articles. And in the future, please note that personal attacks are grounds for a block. --Yamla 15:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Merlinus Blocked by Accident

I am new to Wikipedia, I tried to make an edit and it said I was "autoblocked" by you... whatever that means. But it called me by a user that I never heard of. Maybe it confused my AOL IPS number or something... please check on it and leave a breif message on my user discussion page. Thanks, MARC--merlinus 16:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)--merlinus 16:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Unblocked. This one looks like collateral damage as I did not issue any blocks against that user name. Merlinus, please let me know if you are still unable to edit. If so, I'll need to know the exact IP address you are trying to edit from. Hopefully what I've done already is sufficient, though. --Yamla 16:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Still blocked:

something about Havla? I dont know wwhat my exact Ip adress is? --merlinus 16:59, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

If you are still blocked, I need your IP address to unblock you. Please try a site like this to figure out what your IP address is. --Yamla 17:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, Yamla, but it's me, fellow admin Rlquall that you've got blocked at this IP now; I'm stuck with AOL for now and know that I'm not supposed to unblock myself, tempting though it is. Thanks, Rlquall 20:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Its Merlinus, You have done some wide amount of blocking of AOL Isp numbers this morning and caused a lot of trouble for me! Please fix it ASAP so I don't have get into a big hassle over this. Marc--merlinus 20:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)--merlinus 20:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)--merlinus 20:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)--merlinus 20:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, these users should be unblocked now. Sorry, folks, it was unintended collateral damage on a legit block. --Yamla 20:55, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

IP

When I'm blocked, it always shows me what my IP address is being shown as, which is why I usually can get unblocked fairly well. There is a way to get into any connection to any ISP using the "advanced" button on its software to see what IP address is being used, but I think that it varies among ISP's and in any event is to much to go into here. Most users can probably get it from their ISP's tech support, but we both know just what a hassle that can be. Rlquall 21:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Jluv's sorry

I'am new on this site and I love it I'am sorry for what i did on the Ciara page thuoght it was fever because on the Kayne west page it says  Fever I'am sorry. Next time I change somthing i'll tell you thanks.

No reason to tell me when you are about to edit something, just be careful to read the comments and not to change cited information without providing a better citation for your change! --Yamla 23:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:ChloëSevigny.jpg

I uploaded it, and placed it in the article. you removed it, citing it not being 'fair use' justification. I really could care less, honestly, but I was a little confused, since it is a press release photo from HBO for a new show shes on. Isn't that fair use? Cornell Rockey 03:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I still don't see any evidence that this came from a promotional kit, though it may have been. You are also meant to provide a detailed fair-use justification for each use. It's probably fair use, but not definitely. --Yamla 03:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

That link I've posted as a source seems pretty press-kit-like to me, and as I said, I really don't care that much. No one else seems to have taken issue with my liberal interpretation of 'press kit' but whatever. Happy wikipedia-ing. Cornell Rockey 03:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Confused user

You have written:

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Laura Prepon. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. --Yamla 14:40, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know, what you are talking about. I never edited anything in the article of Laura Prepon. I never heard from this woman before. --unsigned comments from 195.3.113.174 (talk)

If you did not make those changes then someone else using this IP address did. That is fairly common if you share IP addresses or are on a dynamic IP. As we know a vandal sometimes uses this IP address, I suggest you register a username to prevent your edits being confused with that person's edits. --Yamla 15:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

3RR violation

I wanted to let you know that I have reported your five reverts within 24 hours at Natalee Holloway at the 3RR noticeboard for consideration of the question of blocking you under WP:3RR. You may wish to comment there. Stifle (talk) 23:21, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

vandalism removal

it is not required to reply. However, i appreciate your removal of explicit graffiti from the article Red_hair. It looks a target for such things. By the way i found an exact suiting template for some formulations within the article... have a look. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 13:00, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Ken Hitchcock

Sherwood Park could be considered part of Edmonton even though it is still considered a hamlet and city due to it's size. fishhead2100 May 5, 2006 2:45PM (UTC)

I moved your comments to Archive 2. Also, I put famous people from Sherwood Park. That doesn't necessarily mean they have to be born there. Take John V. Hicks for instance. He wasn't born in Prince Albert, but he did live there. fishhead2100 May 5, 2006 3:10PM (UTC)

I should tell you that Archive 2 is dedicated to sports. fishhead2100 May 5, 2006 3:11PM (UTC)

I found what I was looking for. While I was creating the Telus Cup (formerly Air Canada Cup) page I was looking for NHL alumni who have played in the Telus Cup. This is a link to a page which has a lot of NHL alumni that played in the Air Canada Cup. Click here. Now when you scroll down to the H section. You will see that Ken Hitchcock is listed as being from Sherwood Park. fishhead2100 May 5, 2006 4:00PM (UTC)

I also found a profile of him that says he is from Edmonton. Click here. Could this be conflicting? fishhead2100 May 5, 2006 4:05PM (UTC)

Tom Cruise info removal

Excuse me, but you recently deleted my information that I added to Tom Cruise, because you thought of it as vandalism. However, all things i said ARE true. Tom Cruise IS 5'7", those jokes i mentioned ARE real, from mind of mencia, and he most certainly isnt a ninja. So please, put these FACTS back on.--unsigned comments from Soccermike (talk)

I have no idea who or what mencia is but the jokes are inappropriate at that point in the article. As to the height, you forgot to cite this information. Read WP:CITE to learn how to cite. As to him being a ninja, I agree. But virtually nobody is a ninja and we simply don't need that added to each article. He is also, for example, not a zebra but again, that fact doesn't need to be added to the article. --Yamla 21:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

My Archives

I do allow people to talk on my archives. Just don't make a new heading if there is one already there. Just make a new subheading. fishhead2100 May 5, 2006 3:14PM (UTC)

Hey, Is this ok?

Title says it all... I just want you to check the Tom Cruise page to make sure what I put was ok.

Sorry, no. The fact that some television show makes jokes about his height is simply not relevant. It is not particularly notable. In addition, the citation you provided for his height is not reliable. Please remove this information or find a more reliable source. Thanks. --Yamla 21:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Ase500

I need your help. I'd really appreciate it if you could warn Ase500 for continuing to replace vandalism that I was reverting. I'm being threatened with being blocked myself by someone who has not looked at the history and who doesn't seem to care, while Ase500 is getting away with vandalism and with violating 3RR.

This was his edit to Wal-Mart, which started this: While it is easy to see how critics may come to this conclution, Wal-Mart did have plans to close this store prior to the union vote. Infact the union vote was a last ditch effort by associates to keep the store open.

It violates NPOV, it's misspelled, and given that he has violated 3RR action should be taken. 3RR does not mean to not revert vandalism, which I did. Now all his talk page has is a warning for violating 3RR and a second for removing the tag. As it stands, they've made it look like I'm equally wrong as him, while according the the 3RR rule I've done nothing wrong. Kamikaze Highlander 08:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd really like your opinion in the situation. None of the other moderators seem to care that his edit violated npov and deserved to be removed, that he was pov-pushing or that, had I reported his 3RR he might have been blocked. Since the issue has been resolved, I'd like it if someone could remove my section of the 3RR page and the warnings from my talk page, since they give the impression that I did something wrong, while his talk page only suggests that he commited a minor infraction. Pov-pushing and adding misspelled opinions without sources, and getting into an edit war to keep that kind of statement should be considered far worse than trying to remove them. Kamikaze Highlander 17:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism warnings

Hello. I've come via a posting on the village pump, and on reviewing the edits, I have to agree that the edit you gave a vandalism warning for does not look like vandalism to me. Uncited, proably incorrect, but no indication from contribution history that it was not made in good faith. So, while it was probably a mistake, but mistakes aren't vandalism. I would point out that your reply calling the edit "complete crap"[1] was not very civil. As good faith editors can rightly get demoralised by being labeled vandals, I would suggest that the best thing for you to do would be to retract the warning, and please be careful in future not to bite good faith mistakes. Regards, MartinRe 13:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I appreciate your comment on Akidd dublin's talk page, that is over and above what I'd expect. I'm sure you're well meaning, and I know I'm just as fustrated with vandalism as I am, and I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. I think your apology was great, everyone makes mistakes (admins and editors alike). All, the best, and hope you're well. MartinRe 22:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Sometimes i add politics, and it is O.K. to demand the removal of it. I do not edit here with promotion intention. However sometimes i run in danger of forest fires, because i do bite articles/sections which display/promote, other, well politics. I do not understand everything myself. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 14:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Link Removed

"The links you added to the page Spore (game) have been removed. Please do not add commercial links—or links to your own private websites—to Wikipedia."
The link I added was neither commercial or personal, but a free web and downloadable game bearing a fair bit of resemblance to what has been shown of the first stage of the game, Spore. I thought might be of as much interest to others interested in Spore, as it was to me.

Yamal On the 3LW myspace the have a song called "Do You Ever" from there new album that could also be a possible single. Just if u wanted to add it. thank for reading this have a good day. JLUV

Red hair (your comment add to my talk)

I believe many people relate queer to gai, but it is not very related (if at all). My interpretation was "looks ginger", in a meaning of way of "unserious and queer". People producing edits could use a dictionary. i have removed agressive info. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 19:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• This comment by Adkidd dublin is not English. The interpretation of "looks ginger" as "unserious and queer" indicates a fundamental lack of understanding of the English language. It's not just wrong, it's ludicrously wrong, like saying "my dog has square wheels". Likewise, "striptease" is not "completely gai", it is utterly NOT "gai" (or "gay"). The suggestion to "use a dictionary" is laughable coming from someone who has demonstrated no understanding of English usage or idiom at all. I don't know how to proceed with this; see his comments on my talk page as well. I would appreciate a word or two of advice. Fnarf999 00:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

It is called "word clearing". It is not laughable. This dog has square wheels and looks like a spider: Old Mother Hubbard. Gai means sexually flavoured activity for entertainment purpose. I do not need to use this words at all. If i see it, it is annoying.

What basis do you have for asserting that this is what Gai means? I can find no reference in several dictionaries and google does not seem to back you up. As to the rest of that paragraph, could you please rewrite it? It makes no sense to me. --Yamla 18:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your comments, however I dont know where are you coming from; people can misunderstand this as harassment (using dictionary=laughable), and you do not really know if it is asked for. If it belongs here.

I don't know how to proceed with this; see his comments on my talk page as well. I would appreciate a word or two of advice. - don't bother to delete unwanted info. i make ..., because there are Ghits for baking oven.

• Please look. I do not want to make a point, or to disrupt. Probably it is better to stop now. I do not edit articles, where this word (ga-i) occurs. I just thought it is not connected to hair color (which i like personally). I use electronic dictionaries myself. The rhyme about that dog is not addressing anyone. It is not offensive. Can we stop it. I have searched the web for "baking oven". Probably Fnarf999 has done this too- before doing Afd for baking_oven. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 19:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Just a request that you add yourself to the category:Wikipedia administrators (i don't know if it's required?) or otherwise clarify the "nominated" message on your userpage. And thanks for the help reverting the icebergradio linkspammer :) -Quiddity 19:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Not

I'm Not Trying to be Funny. I really do not know what the copying status is. And when you upload it it says This image might be copyrighted. And that's what I chose. Tcatron565 5:30 08, May 2006 (CST)

Re: Toronto98

Hey, I'm at my wit's end over this Toronto98 person. They keep inserting really ugly porn starlet pics into formerly tasteful articles like nudity, breast, and kiss. The images keep getting deleted for lack of copyright info, but then they add more. User Lalalulu is doing the same, might be the same person for all I know. This is ruining the credibility of these articles as encyclopedic.

Is there some process at Wikipedia for when someone keeps uploading inappropriate and copyrighted images? Would that be handled by Wikimedia? Thanks, Kasreyn 00:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

My warning

I got three warnings for the same editing trip, im done, and I realize it is wrong now.

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so after the block expires.

Very funny, 82.198.250.5, but that's a lie. --Yamla 14:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Why not delete it? It's not legitimate, and its only purpose is to prejudice people against you when they see your talk page. Kasreyn 19:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I prefer to be conservative in what I leave on my talk page. Besides, I was kind of entertained by this one. --Yamla 19:33, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Sheesh.

Get a load of this.

I was just trying to make a point about consistency in descriptive standards, and I got a paranoid screed. My question is, what IS considered best usage on Wikipedia? I can't find mention of this issue in the MOS. Kasreyn 20:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I strongly suspect (though I could be wrong) the problem here is that "Jew" is both a religion and a race, or at least is often considered as one or the other. It's quite reasonable to describe me as a "British-Canadian" (or would if I actually got off my behind and applied for Canadian citizenship). I'm quite comfortable at describing first-generation immigrants that way (and am myself a first-generation immigrant). It is less clear in the case of Jewish people, however. While it may well be relevant to discuss their religion, it is more difficult when using the term in a racial (not racist) manner. Certainly, it'd be reasonable to describe a person as 'Israeli-American'. I'm much less comfortable describing second- (and more-) generation people this way. Someone who's great grandparents came from Germany can't really be described as 'German-American' in my opinion. In this case, though, I just let it stand though I would never add something like that myself. Okay, so what about this particular case? Really, the best answer is whether Mr. Savage describes himself as Jewish-American. If he doesn't, we probably shouldn't use the term. It's debateable, however, as it is definitely significant that Mr. Savage identifies himself as Jewish. It may have something to do with liberals, democrats, and republicans. Personally, I'm just happy to live in Canada.  :) --Yamla 20:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Lucky. A friend of mine who's a trucker recently described what it was like hauling some freight to Canada. On his way into Canada, the Canadian border guards were friendly. On his way back into the U.S., though, he was bullied and harassed by border guards with way too little training and way too much power. I'd envy you, but then I remember that through the magic of XM radio, you folks up in the frozen north have to put up with our talk radio dreck, too.

Eh. I guess you're right, though. If Weiner is so determined to hide his Jewish ancestry from his fine new friends in the blame-Jews crowd, then I'll let it go. I have to admit that I rarely do more than fix vandalism in articles devoted to him and other shrill purveyors of hatred. I don't trust myself to be entirely neutral when discussing such people.

Naan Kadavul

I've asked this user to agree not to blank his talk page. If he agrees do you wish to unblock him? ForestH2

I wasn't the one who blocked him. He was blocked for forging signatures on an RfA. Please see my follow-up comments on his talk page. --Yamla 22:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

That's horrible. How long is he blocked? I guess he wanted supports....That's really bad. ForestH2

He's blocked indefinitely. Really, this should probably go to a request for arbitration or something.  :) I'm unconvinced that an indefinite block was warranted but I'm probably far too liberal on that topic. --Yamla 22:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: User:Naan Kadavul

I wonder if the guy can be educated? Seems kinda unlikely to me, but perhaps I'm in a harsh mood. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 00:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

music videos

• why is it forbidden to add music video links ,many people have never seen some music vidoes ,and wikipedia is a encyclopedia for everything and for music videos ,too i think ,

then you have to delete all links cause they ´re all spam Benutzer:Pucki 11.May.2006 (CEST)Central Europe

They are indeed spam. The links I have given you above will help you understand why they are spam and I strongly suggest you read them. Particularly, WP:NOT, WP:EL, and Wikipedia:Spam. Wikipedia is not a link farm. --Yamla 20:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

this discussion is not related to wikipedia

i am considering to remove the complete talkin which fnarf999 is involved. this is getting nowhere. i do not have to keep unwanted personal writing. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 13:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)~ I wuold like to remove his writing. He proofable violates several policies at other places. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 13:58, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, you do have to keep fnarf999's comments. You cannot simply remove his comments. What you may do is archive this entire page (I can help you do this if you wish). This would mean moving all comments from this page to an archive page, clearing this page, and putting a link from this page back to the archive page. Do not simply remove fnarf999's comments. --Yamla 13:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

fnarf999 contribution to akidd_dublin taklk page

I do not want him to put his personal opinion (which does not really anymore talk about an article) to my userpage. Do i have to keep unrelated talk? I am giong to archieve it then. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 14:01, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I have already answered this question. You must keep his comments on your discussion page, or move all comments to an archive page. This comments to you are relevant to your significant problems with the English language. --Yamla 14:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

what now

Because i found it uncanny to have a geographic location connected to an user name, i am going to abandon it now. I find the user talk embarassing, and not-well-educated teenie-like. I had it in mind forehand, but now i am going to realize it. I do not have to suggest articles for Afd. Neither to scroll people's contribution. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 15:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean when you say "not-well-educated teenie-like"? And do you mean "before" when you say "forehand"? I think you are saying that you are going to abandon this user and start a new user. That's fine, that is your right. However, you may be happier editing Wikipedia in your native language as I fear that the same problems are going to show up in the new user account. Another alternative if you wish is that we could take this matter to arbitration. This would allow you to state your case and allow a group of neutral people to give their opinions. I can explain this in more detail if you would like. --Yamla 15:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

not-well-educated teenie-like -> When i see weak english superstition, i am trying to make it better, and not to produce long, long writing. I have now started a new user.

I'm sorry, that still does not make sense. --Yamla 15:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I did not knew red-head people are so picky. I thought the article in disrepair before i arrived. I am not willing to take charge on me. My current english is not that bad. If you believe arbitration makes sense, i do not know how-to, where, why-because-of. Someone clearly misbehaved. If he is going to edit matsuri etc., it may figure an incident (because no understanding of the article itself). When i write that i like red-head people, does it help? Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 15:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I do not have red hair, this is not the source of our disagreement. Our disagreement seems to be that you think your English skills are good, I think your English skills aren't good. You can read about the RfA (arbitration) at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration. The goal of this would be to get other, neutral people involved to comment on whether I am being unfair to you, or whether your English skills really aren't very good. That is, whether I should just stop bothering you, or whether you should stop making edits (or make different kinds of edits). I can give you more information if you wish. --Yamla 15:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

P!nk

Yamla ...the chart is U.S. Hot Dance Club Play , no U.S. Hot Dance Airplay...and then is 21 NO 13!!!! you don't see right and can blocked me...oh god! is crazy! IS 21!!!!!!!!!!!!! --unsigned comments from Hookerj (talk)

Please don't worry. We have a dispute on content. I will not block you while we are discussing this. Please note, though, that the chart shows "U.S. Hot Dance", not U.S. Hot Dance Club Play. Should this heading be corrected, perhaps? --Yamla 15:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Babelfish/Arbitration etc.

Are you saying that you are using software like Babelfish to translate from your native language to English? This would certainly explain the serious grammatical mistakes and difficulty in understanding what you write. If so, please stop. Babelfish is not particularly good at translating. If you need to rely on this or similar software, please refrain from editing the English version of Wikipedia. If instead you are writing everything yourself (without the use of translation software), I still claim that your skills in English aren't good enough. But this is probably opinion that could be clarified by arbitration. --Yamla 15:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

No. I am not doing this. I am not using ... to edit wikipedia. I am using it for various other languages. "Please know it forehand"¹ is a result i thought understandable within the context of genuine, native english. It is not enlish, however. The engines produce a lot of interesting formulations. It has nothing to do with my work on english language. I have read numerous biographies and programming manuals in english. I can understand television etc. I do not see it full of mistakes as of 2006. ¹I do not use it within articles. It has various meanings.

I dont want people to use any tiny link for a follow up of this. People please keep the writing three lines. I am not willing to debug my personal past here on wikipedia. Akidd_dublin has been abandoned. I had it in mind for weeks because weak ID. Now i had a reason. I never even displayed what Fnarf999 is working on. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 16:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I want to get rid of fnarf999

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fnarf999#User_subpage He showed good will to be friendly.
However he should not police me. He is new here. I do not know how to put this to arbitration.
His user talk (talking about me) has nothing to do with wikipedia. I believe it is used for harassing links to an unrelated user account.
He is stating your ID (Yamla) within a "Cabal" case.
I do not want him building a gateway to my new page.
The purpose was to get rid of him, even if his speech has improved lately.
I do not exclude he plays a distraction game.
Probably he does more damage than good. Akidd dublin (abandoned 5/2006) 19:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
