Iupati

Hi! I edited Mike Iupati because the formatting was wrong - each syllable should be all caps or all lower-case, not mixed - sorry if I got it wrong. Which part(s) of "ee-yoo-PAH-tee is incorrect? Lfh (talk) 18:40, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry. The incorrect part was the missing | between "ee" and "yoo". I'll correct it. --bender235 (talk) 19:14, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Jahri Evans

On January 5, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jahri Evans, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Stephen Henry Roberts

I noticed just now that you have recently (well, fairly recently) edited both the page on Macgyver that I watch and the page on Stephen Henry Roberts, which I was just drawn to by a very interesting quote of his concerning atheism. It's been a long time since I've done any editing, but I want to tidy up this Stephen Roberts page soon. It seems a disorganized heap of text to me, far too laden with opinion and praise. Have you any advice as a much more experienced editor? What makes a man turn neutral? (talk) 16:58, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think that article needs a better structure (or any structure) first of all. I recommend this guideline to you: Wikipedia:Writing better articles. --bender235 (talk) 22:41, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation against User:UrukHaiLoR

As you have commented on a report on AN/I in which I have been involved, I'd like to inform you that I have filed a sockpuppet investigation against UrukHaiLoR (talk · contribs). This account very likely is a sockpuppet of Top Gun (talk · contribs), who has been blocked indefinitely for "lying about sources, in addition to a whole host of other sins".

Again, thank you very much for your assistance in this case!  Cs32en  03:09, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

High School Athletes

There are some high school athletes that seem to me to meet the General Notability Guidelins that are either up for deletion or were recently deleted. What do you make of Perry Jones and Kyle Prater for example? ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll take care of that. --bender235 (talk) 13:35, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. We'll see what happens. I'd like to add keeps to both discussions based on the subjects clearly meeting the general notability guidelines, but I will leave it to others so as to avoid interacting with the nom. Hopefully the articles will survive. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:42, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Stuckart

I'm sorry, but Stuckart definitely was a Ministery of Interior in the Flensburg government. See the Shoa.de article: "Als 'Innenminister' verfügte er über das zweitgrässte zweitgrößte Ressort (mit 13 Amtsangehörigen und 9 Hilfskräften...)" 80.221.43.22 (talk) 17:55, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Francis Cubbon

I am puzzled by the tag you placed on this article. It has over a dozen links within it. How, then, can it be called an orphan? --Georgejdorner (talk) 20:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

An orphan is defined as "a page with few or no links from other pages." Right now there are only three links from other pages to Francis Cubbon, therefore it is indeed an orphan. --bender235 (talk) 20:26, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, you recently sent me a message alleging that I had created this article and that it was about me.

Orphan articles

Hi there, I see that you "corrected a typo" by tagging Ciclón Ramirez as orphan - maybe you should read up on the rules on what actually constitutes an orphan article, 3 or less articles linking to it - Ramirez has at least 15 actual articles linking to it so it's most definitly not an orphan article.  MPJ -DK  06:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, that was added automatically be AutoWikiBrowser. You might consider leave a note on the Report A Bug Section. --bender235 (talk) 11:23, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Was John Law a Physiocrat?

You added the Template:Physiocrats to the Law page, but the word Physiocrat doesn't occur on the Law page, nor does Law's name occur on the Physiocracy page.

Need your help identifying Lamar football coaches

I am trying to find the complete list of the 12 all-time coaches at Lamar University, and I see that you're the person who has added the succession boxes for the Lamar coaches. However, I've only been able to piece together 7 of the 12. Could you please either provide me the website that has this information, or finish off the list on Template:Lamar Cardinals football coach navbox yourself? I would appreciate the help. Jrcla2 (talk) 02:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I do not have the complete list. I found most of the information in Cashion, Pigskin Pulpit, but there isn't a complete list in this book. You might be identify some of the other Lamar coaches via a Google News search in old newspapers. --bender235 (talk) 12:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced notice

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Alexander Schukoff. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. --bender235 (talk) 13:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

advice

hello Bender235

i see you edit a lot of pages about people.

and you also edit page 1Sky (Scott Gasparian).

so let me ask you question if i may, how do i do this "correctly"?

i see the notability warning. i really couldnt be bothered to add enough links to make it go away. i dont really care if there is a page on wikipedia about me or not. i agree with the "if you are famous(sic) enough, someone else will make a page about you".

however,

i do care that the 1sky.org, which is a _very_ partisan lobbyist group, has my "name" in wikipedia though.

do you have suggestions how to have the 1Sky.org page still have a "there is an earlier 1sky name" kinda thing?

do you have any idea what i mean?

all the info on the page is accurate and verifyable, i could scan my business license etc and post those to the commons,

blah blah blah, hope you have a second to help a noob here,

thanks,

--gaspo.

gaspo (talk) 06:55, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

WP:CITE

WP:CITE is pretty clear about not changing reference formats:

• In WP:CITE#HOW: "You should follow the style already established in an article, if it has one; where there is disagreement, the style used by the first editor to use one should be respected."
• In WP:CITE#Citation templates and tools: "Because templates can be contentious, editors should not change an article with a distinctive citation format to another without gaining consensus."

If the {{reflist}} template did not change the citation style, I would not object to it (but it would also be pretty useless as a template). As things are, the {{reflist}} template does change the reference style by changing the font size. As we are in disagreement, according to WP:CITE, the style that is already established should be respected.

Personally, I don't mind {{citation}}, but if anyone else objects, then the default is to change back to the established style that does not use it. But I am only going to change reflist back in the article at hand. — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Orphan tagging

Hi, you added an orphan tag to murder of Stephen Lawrence using AWB. The article was recently moved, and many pages link to the previous title of the article, so it is not an orphan. According to this talk page section, the bug has been fixed for the next release of AWB. In the meantime, if you don't want to update to the latest SVN version of the program, check your edits carefully for any misplaced orphan tags. I've bypassed a few redirects to murder of Stephen Lawrence, so the problem shouldn't happen again on that page. Graham87 06:01, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the info. Didn't know that. I'll look to update my AWB. --bender235 (talk) 13:01, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

External Link, City of Milton, Florida

The external link added to the City of Milton, Florida page is legitimate and not intended as spam. It is understood that all links within Wikipedia are no-follow and the site was genuinely offered as a helpful inclusion since no larger site (including the official City of Milton web site) exists that is dedicated to providing educational information about the City of Milton. Jasonmichaelweaver (talk) 21:44, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion, it clearly qualifies as WP:SPAM. But let's continue this discussion here. --bender235 (talk) 22:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Marxian economics

Hello,

I saw your edits on Marxian economics. One of your edits has to do with "Criticism" by a Kezhou Li, it contains a reference to a source. The edit is made by a anonymous editor on Dec. 6. See the history. On Google I can't find any reference to this Kezhou Li, nor to the title of the book. The ISBN gives a couple of different writings by different authors in Chinese, which I cannot check. So I really think this is all completely unverifiable. This same editor has done more or less the same on Das Kapital. I don't know if you're into this, but perhaps you can have a look at these things. I think all these edits should be reverted. Greetings, Dick Bos (talk) 07:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering the same thing when I was fixing the citation style. I just thought the title might be translated. But in the end you're right: if this book is only in Chinese, we can't check it, and it wouldn't be useful for the English Wikipedia anyway. --bender235 (talk) 12:28, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
