Typo in title

You might be interested in the "moving pages" feature. See WP:MM--all you have to do is click on the word "move" at the top of the article that needs moved. NickelShoe (Talk) 05:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


Edits

It's not really hassle, simply giving you some information on minor edits. Besides, talk pages are for messages, a little like e-mail, so if you don't want to read them, don't. I also love the 3rd person roundabout answers :P. (Let's see if you do better than 4 mins this time). Holomorph 19:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Care to elaborate on my recent behaviour? Holomorph 22:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Took you a while, eh P?
That's not vandalism but well I wasn't planning on doing anything else for the moment since you're acting so no-fun. I'd rather go do stuff on the french facebook clone site. :P —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Holomorph (talk • contribs) 16:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

Henri Lefevre

The claim that the subject is a "prominent French urban theorist" is not supported. Per WP:BIO, The article must meet the criterion "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person." Claims to this effect must be referenced. If references to support notability are not added, the page may be deleted. — Swpb talk contribs 04:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

As I said before, sources demonstrating the subject's notability must be added to the article. If sources are not added, the article will be deleted. — Swpb talk contribs 05:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
See WP:CITE. References should appear in a References section at the bottom of the article. — Swpb talk contribs 05:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd put that because the 'a' symbol is not correct in my transcriptions and I was hoping someone would fix that for me. Zigzig20s 00:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

If you mean that you were not able to write the symbol you wished, perhaps I can help you. But have you taken a look at the article vowel, and the links in it (click on the symbols in the vowel chart)? FilipeS 00:48, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Stub sorting

Hello Zigzig20s,

I noticed you marked an article as a stub using the {{stub}} template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the Wikipedia community because it helps various WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.

You can view the full list of stub types at WP:STUBS.

If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! — jmorgan (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)



Yenta

Henry Bibb

I originally attached the ref link to the preceding line because I thought it had been separated accidentally: I have never seen a "footnote number" type of reference standing alone. I still think that this format is so unusual that most readers will think it just looks wrong. However, I see your point: where should a "section reference" (as opposed to a "sentence reference") be placed?

One possibility would be a short sentence at the top of the section with the footnote there. Another would be to remove the ref tags and move the reference into the "references" section as a reference for the entire article. If you really want to have it at the end of the section and by itself, I reccomend a one-word sentence consisting of the word "See." As an anchor for the footnote.

I took the liberty of formatting your footnote and adding the reccomended information for a web cite. -Arch dude 14:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Speedy tagging

Please don't add speedy tags that don't fit speedy criteria (like this: [1]). It seriously backlogs the WP:CSD. I've been removing them as I see them, but it would help if you would go back and WP:PROD or propose merge on them all. Cheers Dina 16:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Did you create all of these articles? Technically you could db-author them, but since many of them seem to have been created back in November, you're probably not the "author" anymore. *sigh*. God, there's tons of them. Why not just leave them alone? Dina 16:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
In response to your comments on my talk, the fact that you and a handful of other editors decided these articles aren't necessary does not make them speedies. Please read WP:SPEEDY. I think the redirect solution proposed below is a good one. Cheers. Dina 19:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
re: [2], you redirect them by clearing the article and writing #REDIRECT and then the name of the album in brackets. FYI, when an admin removes a speedy tag with the edit summary "not a criteria for speedy deletion" please don't revert them. You are making a lot of work for others that you could sort out yourself by doing all the redirects. Cheers Dina 19:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
like this Dina 19:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Cool! Thanks. Dina 19:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
About the double redirects: I think I fixed most of them (I fixed about 8, and that album was the only one with an issue that I saw.) Here's the issue so you know in the future: The title of the album in question is Scream if You Wanna Go Faster. Someone, quite appropriately, made a redirect for the slightly different caps Scream If You Wanna Go Faster (see [3]. You accidentally redirected the songs from the album to that "bad title" which means you created a "double redirect" -- ie. a redirect that just sends you to another redirect. The way to recognize them is when you click the link you have to click another link to go to the article. The only way to fix them is to go to the original article that you redirected and fix the redirect article name (as I did here. Redirects can be tricky to find and edit. They way to do it is to click on a link for the original article. At the top of the article you are redirected to it will say "redirected from "article name" -- click on that link (article name) and you will be back at the redirect page and can edit it like any other article. But good work sorting it out nonetheless. Cheers. Dina 20:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh hell I just realized what you were actually asking. The article is misnamed. I will move it and rollback all my changes to your double redirects. No biggie. Dina 20:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually strike all of that, the article has previously been moved according to [[4]]. Should probably leave it. Dina 20:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
You are very welcome. :) Dina 20:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Songs and Albums

Hi,

While every song need not have its own article, once one has been written, there is no harm in simply redirecting the title back to the album, for the sake of search convenience. I removed the tags in my capacity as an administrator, because redirection is more appropriate. I didn't perform the redirection myself, however, because I have no knowledge of what Spice Girls' songs might deserve independent articles. If you feel the songs merit redirection to their albums, please do so -- but speedy deletion remains inappropriate. Best wishes, Xoloz 18:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

WP:LGBT to do list

Hey, Zig! Man - you're hard at work on those items, aren't you!?!? Thanks for all the work! FYI, there's no need to update the to do list when you finish cleanup on an article. SatyrBot goes through and creates that list every night. It's looking for cleanup tags on articles, so if you remove the {{expand}} or {{wikify}} or whatever from the article, it will be removed from the list that night. Similarly, if you want to add an article to the list, simply tag it with the appropriate cleanup tag and it will show up on the list that night. Hope that saves you some time ;) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Zig! I didn't do anything to the list - as I said, it's maintained by a bot which updates it nightly. So for all the articles you mentioned, they have the LGBT Project banner, but they don't have any particular cleanup tag. If you want them to show up on the full list, add a cleanup tag and they'll be there the next morning. Does that make sense? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Middle Age: A Romance

It appears in the search results when you specifically search for "Middle Age: A Romance." Other than that, you can add it to the Middle Ages disambig page here. Is that what you were referring to? María (habla conmigo) 02:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

It does appear for me, but I think it's a problem as simple as colon placement; wiki searches are highly case sensitive. You're putting a space after "Age"; try it just as "Middle Age: A Romance" and you get the article itself. Search for just "Middle Age A Romance" and you get these results. You could always do a redirect with a space after the colon if you think enough people would attempt to search for it that way? María (habla conmigo) 02:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't believe the page needs to be moved (which would be how you change the article's name). If it truly bothers you, all you need to do is create a re-direct in the small chance that someone would search for it with a space before the colon. After all, the correct punctuation is to have no space between "Age" and the colon and that is how Amazon, Alibris, and Harper Collins, among others, have it listed. María (habla conmigo) 03:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
No problem. What's important is that the novel is readily findable, and it's correct of you to look into these things. For future reference, to move a page (because of typo or whatever) all you need to do is click the "Move" tab in between "History" and "Watch." I went ahead and added a link to the novel at the Middle Age dab page. You may want to look into adding it to some lists, however, because according to its stats only a few articles link to it. A good place to start is Lists of books. Whenever I create a new article for a novel, I like to add as many links possible to get more attention. María (habla conmigo) 03:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Closed ref in Black Water article

LGBT publications

Jtowns proposed a LGBT publications taskforce a while back, to focus on LGBT newspapers, magazines, stuff like that. The minimum threshold is three members, and jtowns and boomboomeve have signed up, so we need one more person to actually start it. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 18:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, the proposal is on the main page, we weren't going to create it until we had three members? Do you want to sign up? Because if yes, I can create the requisite pages and email jtowns (he seems to have gone offline for a bit). Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 19:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
There's not really more information to be had, to be honest. WP:LGBT doesn't have any taskforces, so we'll be flying blind. And yes, I was going to put your proposed literature taskforce in our next newsletter and then put it on the mainpage. I think it's a great idea. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 20:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Fox and His Friends

Katherine Mansfield

I thought I'd give it a try in creating an author navigation box for Katherine Mansfield. It's extremely basic, and I don't know enough about her or her work to add any particular info beyond what's here. So, take a look: Template:Katherine Mansfield. Beyond this, we can add dates next to the titles or find a better way to line things up. Once it looks good, feel free to add it to the bottom of the articles for her works so people can easily jump from one story to the next. Let me know what you think. --Midnightdreary 16:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

You can do whatever you like with it. Just edit it like any other article. This one is based on the Template:Edgar Allan Poe so you can see how much it can be expanded if it ever needs to be. --Midnightdreary 19:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
It's easy. I'll add it to Mansfield's article and you can add it to the rest of her articles by using the same code (you can look at the code when you click "edit this page" on her article. It's basically the name of the template enclosed in {{ }} instead of [[ ]]. --Midnightdreary 19:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Mansfield Works

Not sure why you have a problem with the fuller bibliography that I am working on. It is quite a normal approach to give the actual works them selves rather than the publications, as those are rather more like advertising. Also the Author navigation template is still very much work in progress as it at present only contains the short stories. I think that can be worked up to include novels etc. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Pretty much done for the moment - and I don't see it as redundant as it provides a more structured list with publication years that would look far too cluttered on a template. The template is purely for navigation, (which I have added to all the short story articles). If the bibliograpy fills out more than a full blown "Bibliography article" linked to from the main author article might become to best way. My main thinking here is that this is a "major" author who's work is worthy of sophiticated treatment here on wikipedia. However at present we have a "work in progress" so far, much improved with your continbutions. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Do It (song)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Do It (song), by Luigi-ish (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Do It (song) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Non-notable song. No need for an article about this song.


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Do It (song), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Do It (song) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Photo requests

Hi! I see you've started adding the reqphoto tag to the articles for Indiana towns -- I agree we need many more photos to make for stronger articles. I'd ask that you please don't add the tag indiscriminately, though. Several articles that you tagged as needing photos (Americus, Ambia, Buck Creek, etc.) are towns for which I've already uploaded snapshots. Thanks,
Huwmanbeing 16:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe the tag by itself is intended for articles that have no photographs (or no suitable ones), though of course one can always include as an optional attribute a request for a snap of something specific. I do feel, though, that tagging articles as "photo needed" when they already have a photo is unnecessary. There are plenty of Indiana articles with zero photos that presumably should be addressed first. After all, by that logic practically any WP article could be similarly tagged, since any article -- no matter how many photos it has -- could always have more. :-)
Also, though I do love little Indiana towns and am from one myself, I don't think every one merits a full gallery of pictures. Take Winthrop, for example -- it's a legitimate town on all the maps, but frankly, what you see is practically all there is.

Reqphoto

Hi, when adding requests for photographs to Polish towns, you might want to use {{reqphotoin|Poland}} instead of {{reqphoto}}. --Lysytalk 08:58, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I think that {{reqphotoin|Poland}} could potentially attract more photographers from Poland than {{reqphoto}} alone. I, for one, would be looking at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Poland rather than the very general Category:Wikipedia requested photographs. Thanks. --Lysytalk 17:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Sure. I just thought that you were adding {{reqphoto}} to Polish towns today again and I thought you might want to consider my suggestion instead. But I do not intend to push it of course. There may be reasons why you had chosen to do it the other way. I only thought that you might had forgotten this, and this is the only reason why I'm bugging you again. Hope you don't mind :-) --Lysytalk 17:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

The Profits of Religion

You requested a citation for my statement that the book is propaganda. Have you read the book? I read the whole thing twice. It's propaganda, according to the technical definition on the Propaganda Wikipedia page, "Instead of impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. The most effective propaganda is often completely truthful, but some propaganda presents facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis..." Let me say that I admire Sinclair and found his book extremely disturbing. I wish I could call it something else to encourage people to read it. But it IS propaganda. He is NOT fair. He has an agenda and he wants his readers to adopt it. The reviewers I cite state as much. Wikipedia requires truth, not partisanship. People unfamiliar with Sinclair deserve an accurate description of his work. Please remove the "citation needed", or supply an alternative term with the same meaning. Thank you.

Decatur City, Iowa

I'll be damned if I remember why I said that. I added my comment in 2004, and I am sure I had a reason then, but I have long since forgotten what it was (it's been more than three years after all). Sorry!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Still doesn't ring a bell... I was involved in an off-Wikipedia project dealing with Midwestern states in 2004, around the time when I first discovered Wikipedia. There were a few things I could contribute to Wikipedia in relation to that project; things I was working on anyway. I guess this note was one of those things, but since it was three years ago, I don't remember any of the details. Anyway, I'll be removing this note of mine since it obviously no longer makes sense to me or to folks who see it :) Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 21:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Iowa cities

At the risk of sounding demented and senile, I must say you guessed right :) All this was a while ago, and I lost interest in Midwestern cities long since. You might be better off asking around Iowa Portal or some such.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Graff, Missouri

(To Graff, Missouri and User talk:M.e#Graff, Missouri): I'm not a deletionist... but it did seem a bit on the non-notable side of the line. Perhaps it is of some interest, or someone came from there, or something happened there. There is a link from Missouri Route 38 m.e. 03:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Philip Vickers Fithian

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Philip Vickers Fithian, by Addd wiki (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Philip Vickers Fithian seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Philip Vickers Fithian, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikiproject LGBT

Sure I'd join, I recall trying to contact the project at one point in connection with a slew of renamings of articles about ancient Greeks only one of whom had real relevance to the project; but I don't know where I can be used best. Let me know what I can do and will try to pitch in; I am doing 2 other wikiprojects: Sicily and Classical Greece and Rome. Etes-vous français? J'ai prise un conseil de votre userpage. Je devrais trouver les plus correspondants français et ameliorer mon usage de la langue, mais alors il est une de beaucoup de choses que je dois faire. Pardonnez le pas d'accents, il est plus difficile au mon keyboard, et j'ai erreurs plus importantes de grammaire et d'orthographe. Et quand je ne peux pas rappeler le mot correct, je peux employer l'espagnol, porque el es comprensible a la mayoria de los francofones. Voila! :-) Carlossuarez46 00:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay, for the Beatrice State Developmental Center, BSDC, can I copy facts from this website:

Category:Literature with LGBT characters

Hi, Zigzig20s - I left the below for TAnthony - Can I get your opinion, too?

Got a question for you. I just ran across Category:Literature with LGBT characters. I'm wondering if that category wouldn't be better off as a list? My reasoning is threefold:

  1. Take a look at Dune (novel). Nowhere in the article do the words "gay", "lesbian", "bisexual" or "homosexual" (etc) appear. I haven't read the full article, but I would expect one of those words in order for the article to be in an LGBT cat.
  2. We already have similar lists for this sort of thing - as examples, List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters or List of gay and bisexual people in modern written fiction.
  3. A list would allow you to add some details that a cat can't carry - for instance, the name of the character :)

Re: Audre Lorde

Re: Audre Lorde

"I've deleted the link you added to the Audre Lorde page because it seems to be only concerned with Zami: A New Spelling of My Name. Am I right?Zigzig20s 14:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)"

I'm not sure of the rationale here. Is space at such a premium that a 1-line external link must be removed? The article (from Kenyon Review) addresses more than just the 1 book, i.e., issues of life, lesbianism, authorship, etc. What was wrong with leaving it? It's authoritative and it concerns AL.Proyster 21:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

The Coxon Fund and The Next Time (short story)

Hi. You recently created The Coxon Fund, but the lead sentence read: The Next Time is a 1894 short story by Henry James. I assume thats a slight mistake since you had also created The Next Time (short story), so I changed the name in The Coxon Fund. Please revert if I have done wrong.

Hey, I'm afraid I don't have much free time at all, and the only novel of his that I'm familiar with is Last of the Mohicans, and I'm not too big of a fan of that, I'm afraid. ;) If you want to bring it to the attention of the Novels Wikiproject, the link to the general forum is here.

Hi, I've noticed you've created a number of stubs recently and tagged them with an uncategorised {{stub}} template.
