MU Nashville

When you get a moment, would you stop by the Nashville MU page and pick a month that works for you? Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 00:15, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am checking around, and will tell you if I find anyone who does this sort of thing. I am half tempted to find the tools to do the analysis myself. Facts are always useful. But in this kind of debate opinions often override even the most obvious facts, as in the real world. Aymatth2 (talk) 02:52, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:35, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi from Elizabetsyatbu

Hi, I just wanted to say thank-you for taking a look at my article on education policy in Brazil. I really appreciate the comments. I am hoping to do one last push before the end of the weekend, though the article will continue to be something I come back to, I'm sure. Let me know if you have any other comments. Thanks again for all your help. Elizabetsyatbu (talk) 21:00, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And from me too. Thanks, SBaker43, your help is greatly appreciated.  Chzz  ►  01:13, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You're both most welcome. This has been an exciting month watching the article grow. It fit in well with a growing interest in Brazil. I got started by adding a few edits to help others on Belo Monte Dam which taught me a lot. I then started doing clean-up on List of indigenous peoples in Brazil. My first pass on that is still incomplete, having been interrupted by other topics. :-) I was really impressed by Elizabetsyatbu's ability to make an article like this come together so quickly. As I commented before, I believe this could be an exemplar for a whole series of similar articles on national Education Policy. And User:Chzz, you have done a great job guiding this process. I'm proud to have been able to contribute a little to this effort. BTY, today's edits by me resulted from running the article through Microsoft Word's grammar & spell check.

Regrading the Webb School

Hello, this is iantolee. I see that you reverted edit by 96.33.122.18. I would like to let you know that it's quite true that Webb has lost its national recognition as a college prep school - I am a current student at Webb and very well aware of it. I am reverting your edit to that of 96.33.122.18 - if you have other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact with me. Thank you! Iantolee (talk) 01:01, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your assertion is a serious accusation (potentially libelous) and should be supported by an independent source.
The Care Team section was originally added on May 9th, 10 days before the date of the purported event; hence patently false. It was reverted 3 hours later and then the reverted material was immediately reinserted by a revert of the preceding reversion. This was tagged as a possible BLP issue or vandalism. Back and forth editing of valid material should occur in a sandbox or by using preview. The introduced material was almost immediately removed by a revert.
The Care Team section appeared again on 17 May; still patently false since the assertion precedes the event by two days. The Care Team section was reverted a few minutes later.
SBaker43 (talk) 02:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My bad. That incident happened on the 9th, not the 19th; It's a mere typo and I apologize. I will use preview or sandbox next time and be adding the CARE team section again as soon as I finish elaborating the CARE part section. The CARE team section can be supported by this article here: http://webbschooltn.blogspot.com/ Iantolee (talk) 04:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

For your recent corpora work

Stuartyeates (talk) 23:28, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome and thanks for the kitten. I noticed a significant lack of categorization on a number of pages as I was looking at a linguistics article. That got me started. I'm not a linguist; my wife is much closer -- she was an English major.
  • I didn't find an infobox linguistic corpus. Given the number of corpora, it would seem that one is needed to help summarize the aspects of the content, the corpus metrics, availability and access, etc.
  • I don't see a List of linguistic corpora which could provide an alternative to infoboxes.
I assume this should be discussed (maybe it has been) at WT:LING. I'd be happy for you to raise these issues if you've got more perspective than me; it'd be very difficult for you to have less. :-)

Standard Interchange Protocol

This is a very minor point, but I wonder if you would reconsider your assessment of the class of this article. You assessed it as a "stub class" article but in my opinion it should be "start class" given that it is not "very short", has a useful structure, and is well-referenced. In fact it would only require a little expansion to be C-class.

Cheers,

Blanking of Future section of Politics of Texas

I encourage you to post the same message at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_United_States. The talk page on Texas doesn't get much traffic, and it's part of the United States project. There are more participants and more knowledgeable people there at WPUS. I've looked at what you're talking about, and it's always been reversed by an IP address. IMO it's vandalism. But what to do about it....ask over at the United States project, and you might get some constructive ideas. I did request temporary Page Protection for Politics of Texas, so we'll see if that gets approved. Maile66 (talk) 16:35, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done at WP:US Thanks. SBaker43 (talk) 17:06, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. Maile66 (talk) 17:11, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see HERE, it's been semi-protected for one month. I don't think they'll do a longer, or permanent protection unless the situation gets much worse. If you want to ask for the protection again later, at the top of the article page, one of the tabs says "RPP" or "Request Page Protection", or some variation of that, depending on which skin you use. Click the tab, and it gives you something to fill out to request the protection. Good luck. Maile66 (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That may resolve the issue. If not, maybe someone else more focused on Texas will address it. I try to avoid doing multiple consecutive reverts. SBaker43 (talk) 18:32, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See my response to your warning / threat

I almost certainly have far more edits than you and others here you are making reference to. And I understand the rules very, very well. Read: VERY, VERY WELL.

I would like you to stop confronting an anonymous editor who explains their reasoning, while those reverting the edits explain nothing at all about their reasoning.

I can easily tell you how this issue might end: Other editors in Arbitration telling you and me to assume good faith. But I don't. Editors who are full of themselves have reverted quite good edits in the Sluice article with no justification, and then have been pompous enough to make threats on my personal page. Shame on you, and shame on editors who are too busy racking up brownie points to actually spend time evaluating material or process. 76.102.1.193 (talk) 22:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, User S Baker, for butting in uninvited, but perhaps you might agree with me that an unregistered IP address cannot possibly be described as "my personal space" . Sincerely, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 07:45, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your comment is certainly welcome. The word "personal" has little place in a collaborative environment. It is at best only a relative term since all material is released "under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL." User pages and sub-pages are not usually intended to be edited by others but are of course publicly available. User talk pages certainly are not personally owned since they are intended for multiple parties to exchange communication. This IP editor posted his complaint in multiple places. I chose to respond at his talk page. Neither User:Toddy1 nor I seem to have had any further disagreements with this editor.
I enjoyed looking at your User page. It reminds me of similarities between your childhood and mine. I spent my first 18 years on a farm in Perry County, Tennessee. When I was stationed in Germany in the late 1960s, I got to see part of England and Scotland during a train ride from London to Edinburg to attend a conference. I would have liked to see more of the British Isles.
Thanks for your observation. SBaker43 (talk) 20:58, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your detailed reply, both to me here and on the IP's Talk page, and for your kind comment regarding my user page. Having a dialogue with another user in another continent and finding empathy, is one of the aspects of editing Wikipedia that I enjoy most. Kind regards, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 21:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revere, Massachusetts

I live in Revere Massachusetts. While we come close to the border of Melrose the town of Melrose does not actually border Revere Massachusetts. If you find evidence to the contrary can you please link me to it?

Sincerest thanks,

Michael Carter 882 Winthrop ave Revere,MA 02151 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.12.168.255 (talk) 14:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It took me a minute or so to regain the page context. The revert was based on the removal of Melrose without an edit-summary plus checking to confirm that Melrose,_Massachusetts#Geography says that Revere is adjacent to the southeast. The subsequent edit was to change the sequence so that there was a consistent clockwise progression in the naming sequence. I just did a little WP:OR and Google maps looks to me like the SE corner of Melrose (at the corner of Osprey Road and Frank Bennett Highway) meets the NW corner of Revere.
The original addition of Melrose appears to have been by an IP editor in March 2007. Corners can be contentious so you might want to raise the question on the article's talk page. I don't have any special knowledge of the area. You're certainly welcome to correct errors. If you would, please add a brief edit-summary and do the corresponding correction to the Melrose article. Since you're looking closely at this, you might want to add a summary to both talk pages for future reference by other editors.
Thanks for watching this closely.

State adjutants general

Just a question about the above page. Could it not be merged with the adjutant general page, as it has a US section?. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 14:36, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps but it seems that the state adjutant general page is large enough and significant enough that it should be separate. The merger of the US page would overwhelm the worldwide page and create an unbalanced organizational structure. If the state page were merged then logically shouldn't the List of Adjutants General of the U.S. Army be merged also? Consider WP:SIZE and WP:MERGE.
The separation of federal and state level adjutants general appears consistent with the separation of the following U. S. main pages versus the U.S. summary in the world-wide pages.
SBaker43 (talk) 06:07, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Yes, that's a fair point. Thanks for the response! --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 12:19, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pampa, Texas Notable People

This is the 98.225.44.41 user responding to your left message. Namely I apologize for the misconduct, but I deign to note that it has been a single person that has been monitoring and adding the Miles Bateman profile onto Wikipedia and I can only list reference for their actions and knowing them to be Miles Bateman from firsthand experience. As such having a citation for it is not exceptionally functional, though I might advise either a form of lock on that article or banning of the ip that keeps adding the entry.

Bateman is not a notable person, but he is adamant about his presence in media and I can note from personal experience and interaction with him he has a large interest in presenting himself and exaggerating both his popularity and control, often making grand comments on his readership that do not match up with real statistics.

So to repeat my point, I can only cite myself from firsthand experience on his behavior, knowing personally that it is him who is posting from the address that keeps adding the entry, and as such I am not able to cite that information. Though in light of the situation I do ask if you would have a means to prevent further vandalism by Bateman to that page. 98.225.44.41 (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your apology and response. I understand your frustration. Your addition of an edit summary helps reviewing editors understand your reasoning.
Since you don't appear to be a registered user, you may not be aware of one of Wikipedia's rules concerning reverting, Almost always it's best to avoid waring until another solution can be effected since there are significant sanctions involved. Other editors will likely review the change shortly. I am requesting intervention by an administrator since this is a persistent problems.
SBaker43 (talk) 23:02, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SBaker43 (talk) 23:33, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I received your message that you had removed my edit. I understand that you believed you where cleaning up "self promotion" however I would like to point out that the link I pointed to the adventist hospital is no different than the already existing external links.

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center's Cardiac and Vascular Institute Cleveland Clinic page on coronary artery bypass surgery

on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

As far as promoting that hospital. As an adventist in the health field (I am in mental health, in Albuquerque, not a hospital in portland) I find it frustrating that you would remove the link I shared but not the others. Will you please let me know how to proceed, because if you are holding the adventist health care system at a level that it does not "deserve" links the same way that these other hospitals do.. I will be removing all external links to any hospital procedure page and cite the edit reason as following your precedence. I apologize if I seem a bit frustrated, but I know what "spam" and "self promotion" is. and I am simply sharing a resource that is on par with what is already available. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsutter84 (talk • contribs) 21:58, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
