Indian Navy is in the middle of editing dispute, thus I won't spend much time on it, as they may be reverted together with underlying edits. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 06:03, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Just informing you as to why I had to rollback your recent edits to the Indian Navy article. The user im in a dispute with is a well known sock who has been banned from Wikipedia countless times, unfortunately your edits disallowed me to revert his edits. However since, I have gone back over parts of the article, improving/adding citations , improving readability, spelling, grammar, structure etc. Bushranger normally takes care of Chanakyathegreat and his socks, hes been notified, only a matter of time.Talk^Woe90i 12:53, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Peter Gibson

Not sure why this page was deleted... And what the guidlines are that have been set for someone of interest within the entertainment industry.

Peter Gibson has been on TV, Broadway and Film as an actor and has produced, written and directed for film and television.

There were two references from variety articles written about the subject

Gibson Steps into Limelight

Fashion Label Tries on Reality Series

As well as credits included from Imdb.

Please explain how this is not sufficient?

Whateverfilms (talk) 21:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a more detailed IMDb. The bar is set considerably higher. He doesn't satisfy the criteria laid out in WP:ARTIST, nor has he attracted enough media attention. The first Variety article is more in the way of an announcement, and he is just one of several people mentioned of the second. (The deletion voting is here.)

Harumph. Had to pay to look at the San Jose Mercury News archived obit. I placed jpegs of its 2 pages over HERE. What is the best way to add the citation to the article? I think my own method might have been somehwhat clumsy. Thanks, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:33, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

The first link is dead, so the choice is to either link to photobucket or have the newspaper citation without a link. I think you should ask at the help desk about the legality of the former. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:16, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough, I'll do it without the dead link for now and as I paid for a copy of the 1986 article and it was sent to my personal email, I'll ask at the help desk as you suggest. If you drop me an email, I'll forward it to you should you wish it. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Monk Season 2 Episode 11: Mr. Monk & the 3 Pies

Pat Van Ranken was digging through the 2nd Pie because Van Ranken was looking for something. When Van Ranken's digging through the 2nd Pie, Van Ranken throws food onto the ground. Why doesn't the Captain feel Suspicious of Van Ranken? Does the Captain believe that Van Ranken's digging through the 2nd Pie for No Reason? Why would anyone dig through food for no reason? Have you seen Monk Season 2 Episode 11?(76.20.90.53 (talk) 08:44, 20 January 2012 (UTC)).

I'm pretty sure I've seen it, but it doesn't really stick out in my memory. But people do seemingly odd things, most of which do not give the police justifiable cause to investigate them. Van Ranken could easily have come up with some plausible explanation, e.g. he lost his keys. In real life, Leland would probably be worried about a charge of harassment. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:32, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Costa Concordia disaster

Re this edit, I think it is wrong for the following reason. The length of the ship is quoted to a centimetre, thus conversion to feet and inches is appropriate (1 cm = 0.4 in approx). The distance offshore is given to the nearest tens of metres at best, so conversion to yards is appropriate (1m = 1.1 yd approx). Please reconsider this edit. Mjroots (talk) 08:01, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

The Orange County Register calls it a "1000-foot long ship" with a "150 foot gash" (ref. 12), Reuters gives the ship's length in feet (ref. 16), the Christian Science Monitor uses feet to fix the ship's location (ref. 45), and the New York Times map (ref. 22) has a scale in feet. So far, I only see one mention of yards, from the Wall Street Journal, which also has feet in its article. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:44, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Yeah you did the right thing not telling you off or anything don't worry just tryng to help it's just otherwise sometimes people who don't read properly to see that you withdrew it don't realise it's closed, the closed thing adds a proper "this discussion hasbeen closed because of reason" thing over it that's all

What I mean is the templates are hidden under Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Administrator instructions (which is the link at top of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_an_AfD_discussion_is_closed), it's kinda hidden I know the design probably needs to be less confusing there's the same/similar stuff repeated on different pages in a kind of spiderweb, I think because stuff's grown over time and no one's really ever made much effort to try clean it up to be more readable ha --Mistress Selina Kyle ^{(Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉)} 10:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Boruch Szlezinger

Hello,

You have spoken on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Boruch_Szlezinger.

You indicate that all the deportees could not have an article on Wikipedia if they did not have a reputation and history that distinguish them from other deportees.

I agree with you but Mr. Szlezinger has a reputation and a history that sets it apart from others. Mr. Szlezinger is one of the last Holocaust survivors, former prisoner of Nazi concentration camps, the last survivor of the death marches, he saved the first time his mother and sister to the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust and then he lost his entire family before to find his brother in France. He gave an interview to Max Kohn for the Australian national broadcaster, SBS Broadcasting Groupt hen the interview was the subject of a detailed study in a large university. He works constantly to the memory of the Holocaust and its transmission. He was awarded "Large Invalid War" in Europe, "Policy Deported" by the French government. The deputy mayor and former minister, André Santini and the Defense Minister proposed to the National Order of the Legion of Honor.

Word Georgian is majorly connected to the nation and country of Georgia

What's vandalism about it? There is not only Georgian people and Georgian language but way more. Majority of things connected to word Georgian are from Georgia but you've put just Georgian people and language? Do you think that's just all connected to Georgia? GeorgianJorjadze (talk) 11:26, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Dab page items are intended to be synonymous with the title. E.g. "I met a Georgian the other day." or "He spoke fluent Georgian." You would not say "I flew the Georgian at half mast" when referring to the flag. It's explained in much greater detail in WP:DAB. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Are you kidding me? Everything about word Georgian is connected to the country. 90% of the material is about the country and then 10% about the rest of things. Go check the pages Japanese, Chinese, Romanian, Russian and many more. You'll see that everything is listed what is of any of this nations' origin. Geddit? GeorgianJorjadze (talk) 11:42, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I see nothing in these other dab pages that contradicts what I said (other than Romanian, which I will now clean up). I've requested a third opinion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Georgian. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:15, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

You make no sense at all. Go see the French page. There is:

• French culture
• French language
• French people
• French cuisine
• French wine

Do you understand now? It should be mentioned the same way in the Georgian as well. It's ridiculous when you mention just TWO words as if Georgians had just its ethnicity and language and that's all what we got or what? The primary meaning of Georgian is connected to the nation of Georgia not to some other inferior stuff as you've put down there and trying to edit war with me as if I was doing something not right. The primary meaning of Georgian should be written down into that list and should connect it to the country of Georgia. Understand? GeorgianJorjadze (talk) 12:28, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I understand your strong sense of nationalism is apparent, and inappropriate in editing the article. Seriously, do you think a page that lists French catheter scale is a good example? But thanks for pointing out yet another dab page that needs fixing. Have you even bothered to read WP:DAB, as I have asked you to twice already? Clarityfiend (talk) 20:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

• You do seem to have managed to throw the baby out with the bathwater, in that your edits seem to have lost, without comment, the Georgian poets, Georgian Revival architecture and the two lots of school students known as "Georgian"s, all of which seem to me to be legitimate entries here. PamD 16:34, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Poets maybe (not my area of expertise). Architecture seems to veer into WP:PTM. As for students, are you referring to the King George V schools? That seems a bit of a stretch. The only time "Georgian" is mentioned in either article is as part of a single external link. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps you could steer this fellow over to Wikipedia:How to write a plot summary and explain that including step-by-step minutia is not what a summary is for. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:29, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

I assume you're referring to Kind Hearts and Coronets. The trouble is, that person hasn't listened to me at all. Besides, his/her version is shorter than mine. I include more details, but I believe they're more pertinent than the IP's choices. What really pains me is the awkward bits of prose; this most elegant of black comedies deserves better. I'll lay out all my objections on the talk page, and see if I can rouse Lugnuts from his torpor.

Bernhardt Holtermann

Hi Clarityfiend

I made changes to the Bernhardt Holtermann page a little while ago in respect to his dates of birth and death, only to find the incorrect information is now back on the page. I've tried fixing it, but frankly the code confuses me. I'm hoping you'll be kind enough to edit the page again using the information hereafter.

Bernhardt Otto Holtermann was born on 29 April 1838 (source Title: St. Georg VIII Band 24, 1838 Seite 42, Nr. 414, Hamburg)

Bernhardt Otto Holtermann died on 29 April 1885 in North Sydney, NSW, of stomach cancer and cirrhosis of the liver (source Title: New South Wales Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages Reg.No. 6325/1885)

Woolworth's

Hi there,

I notice that you split the Woolworth's disambiguation page a few months back.

I thought it would be polite to let you know that I've recombined it, albeit to the page Woolworth rather than the original Woolworth's.

I appreciate that we probably shouldn't have had the entries for singular "Woolworth" (e.g. people of that name) under a dab page called Woolworth's (with the possessive apostrophe), which I'm guessing was your reason for the split?

However, the general trend on Wikipedia is to combine singular, plural and possessive terms based on the same root term into a single dab page (see note 2). (Please see Talk:Woolworth for a more longwinded justification!)

To get round the inappopriate title, the recombined dab page is now at Woolworth instead- which is a more suitable generic title for a page that can include (e.g.) "Woolworth", "Woolworth's" *and* "Woolworths", etc.

I offer this olive branch

Olive tree branch

Thank you for pointing out to me, the error of my ways. and please accept my apology. I am sorry. You are correct in your revision of my omission of one letter in employment. D'you see, I am "paying attention".  – unlike many editors here on Wikipedia – and only wish to improve this article on such a splendid British black comedy.

Mistakes like this one can all too easily occur whilst editing and looking after Wikipedia. However, as long as they are met with good temper and a sense of humour, there is no lasting harm, in my opinion.

Feel free to carry on reverting my revisions when you don't approve – as I shall yours!

You are now on My watchlist, so I shall be aware of any reply to me here on this page.

With kind regards,

-- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 08:14, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

You've got me confused with another editor. I'm not the one who asked you to "pay attention". Clarityfiend (talk) 22:30, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh? Sorry. Well in that case perhaps you should compost the olive branch. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 23:03, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Ha ha! Seriously, good work. Well done. I love the film. Pretty certain that he (ninth duke) died of a stroke. I have the film in my home ... I shall check to make certain ...

I uploaded a pic of FF for the article. I also found this image on commons: File:Airplane Coverage of the Milwaukee Grand Prize Race.jpg, which says the plane in the air was being flown by Fish, in case you can use it in the article. Congrats on the DYK. INeverCry 00:29, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Zenobia

Zdar! Hele, mám dotaz. Proč jsi smazal mou editaci v rozcestníku? Máš k tomu nějaký důvod? Dendrofil (talk) 17:04, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I have no idea what you're asking. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:36, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

For translate your page to english--Dendrofil (talk) 03:05, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

There's no Zenobia (name), so why leave it on Zenobia (disambiguation)? Write the article first or link to an existing article. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Myslíš, že ta stránka musí nutně existovat, pokud dodá rozcestník požadovanou informaci? Je na to v této jazykové verzi Wikipedie nějaké závazné pravidlo? Rád se přiučím. --Dendrofil (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Assuming the translation I got was correct, I don't see all that much that could be said about Zenobia other than it is from the Greek for "life of Zeus". That much could be added to the dab page without creating another article. Still, if you can dig up more about the name, e.g. its popularity, I suppose you could have the makings of one, in which case you could also add a redlink beforehand.

Rogue

Hi

I wanted to discuss a little about this disagreement that we seem to have. I checked WP:DABREDIR and it says:

Linking to a redirect can also be helpful when the redirect contains the disambiguated term and could serve as an alternative name for the target article, meaning an alternative term which is already in the article's lead section.

It has an example in which James Carrey (a redirect) is used instead of Jim Carrey (a direct link). So, according to this rule we can write:

[[Rogue (character class)]] or '''Thief''', in role-playing games

So, what's the problem?

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 23:51, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me (especially the sentence after it: " If it were not, then the second example could have been used instead"), but hey, I'm not going to edit war over it. No bolding though. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:03, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Norman Cooper (aviator)

Hello,

I noted that you attached a UK nationality stub to the above article. Just to refresh your memory, Norman Cooper was the alias of an American pretending to be Canadian so he could join the Canadian military. He did end up in the RAF. However, Curious George here wonders why you tagged him as a Brit.

Georgejdorner (talk) 16:19, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

I replaced the American military stub tag with a British military one, since he was part of the RAF. Nothing there shows he was a member of the American armed forces. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:26, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Check out these aviation-themed articles

You have probably have already seen these film articles, but I did some work on them: Flight From Glory, The Man Who Found Himself, Battle Circus, Night Flight and Only Angels Have Wings. I also worked on the Hawks Miller HM-1, the Military Aircraft HM-1 and Gwinn Aircar. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 18:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Beulah

Hi, thanks for splitting Beulah, seeing as someone had added content which did not belong on a dab page. As the list of people did not belong on the dab page either (see MOS:DABNAME), I merged that into the other article and made it a name page, Beulah (given name).

Merge Chili burger to Chili con carne

I am letting you know that I have proposed a merge of Chili burger to Chili con carne. Being that you participated in the AfD, I'd be interested in your thoughts. The discussion is at Talk:Chili con carne#Merger proposal. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 16:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

It was suggested that Hamburger might be a better target, and I was implored to allow that as a possibility. Therefore, I've moved the discussion to Talk:Chili burger#Merger proposal to allow for this. Please accept my apologies if it seemed that I was advocating for one solution over another. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 16:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Another look at an article?

Hi! I've never asked anyone to do this for an article before, but I recently did some editing to the article for Dead Sea Products. I pretty much nuked the previous version of the article, which was fairly promotional. I'm sort of halfway about whether the article should remain even with that. I've found sources, but I'm not sure if this would do well separate from the main article. There might be a rationale for a merge from the Dead Sea salt into the product article, but I'm not totally feeling that as well. I just really wanted some more opinions on the current state of the article. (Posting this to the user talks of two other users.)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

I've answered at WP:Afd to avoid repeating myself. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:00, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

The Iron Petticoat

Check the revisions just made to the article; however, the "plot" section needs some editing (I find it painfully written, but that's just me). FWiW (talk) 15:34, 17 December 2012 (UTC).

You must also have TCM in your cable grouping, as we constantly show up on the same movie articles. I saw it on TCM recently and thought, great, another "lost" aviation movie and then, I began to realize the painful pairing of Katherine Hepburn and Bob Hope had led to a monumental disaster with Hepburn trying to do Garbo while Hope was mugging away. In the end, the mess was so bad that even Hope who owned the film rights, disowned the film and arranged to have it locked away for over 40 years until, presumably, all the principals had died, and Turner Classic Movies could make a deal to re-release the porridge. FWiW (talk) 15:45, 17 December 2012 (UTC).

I didn't watch the stinker, so there's not a lot I can do with the article. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:34, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Have you seen Jet Pilot? It is the classic clunker that involves John Wayne, Janet Leigh and Howard Hughes who obsessed over making a jet-age Hell's Angels. FWiW (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Nothing special, but I wouldn't call it a clunker. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:07, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Request for a name change

Need more eyes to look at what is a bit of a contentious issue in assigning a name to an aircraft-oriented article. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 15:45, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, I guess someone can expect a visit from three ghosts. In the meantime, I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Film#Cast in foreign films. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:38, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Here's a good example: A Tale of Two Cities (1935 film)#Cast. I'll give you a hint, Marquis is not an English word. Oh and by the way (taken from this very page):

--Deoliveirafan (talk) 00:42, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Here's not a good example: A Tale of Two Cities is in English, not a foreign language (unless you're American). As for answering in both talk pages, I wanted to make sure that someone as special as you got the message. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:50, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
