Media naturalness theory article

Hi Dabomb87. It took me a while, but I think that now the media naturalness theory page is properly formatted, referenced, etc. Can you take a look and let me know what you think? My next project will be on channel expansion theory, which has also been getting a lot of citations lately. Best regards.--Senortypant (talk) 17:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Tennis articles

Hi Dabomb87 - just to let you know, Tennis expert undid your unlinkings, and I've repeated the unlinkings, in an attempt to bring these articles in line with the MoS, but he's now busying himself reverting my work on those articles too. Colonies Chris (talk) 12:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Template:Baseball Year

Can you please stop removing the Template:Baseball Year per WP:CONTEXT#Dates, I see that you are keeping it in the infobox, but why are you removing them from the article.--Yankees10 03:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I must have missed the ones in the article, they are harder to distinguished. Consider using writing out "Baseball Year" in those templated dates so when I run the script, they are kept intact. Compare {{by|1987}} and {{Baseball Year|1987}}, the second template does not get delinked when the script is used. In addition, I don't think you need to link every year to a baseball year, especially in the prose. Once readers get to a baseball year article, they can navigate to the other ones from there. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

See this edit to see how the second BY template is preserved. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Wait, so you are not doing this manually? im confused--Yankees10 03:36, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I am using a script which automatically delinks the articles—hence the identical edit summaries— but lets the user of the script preview the changes made and make other manual edits if needed. What I did in the baseball players' articles was I used the script to automatically delink all the dates, and then I manually restored the Baseball Year links. In a nutshell, I am using a script (not a bot) to delink the dates, but I have the power to modify those delinkings in the same edit. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:44, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

P.S. When I restored some of the Baseball Year links, I used an edit summary of my own instead of the one produced by the script, that is why it seems like I delink dates manually. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for fixing it--Yankees10 04:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Lazare Ponticelli

Greetings. For Lazare Ponticelli, we are using year links for someone noted because of extreme age. hus, the reader can easily access the year 1897 to find out what people were doing when he was born. ~the editorofthewiki ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 17:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I see what you are saying. However, linking to what are essentially a trivia articles for one does not aid readers' understanding of Lazare Ponticelli's life or his accomplishments. If readers really want to know what went on that year, they can enter the year into the search box. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Please STOP vandalizing articles on longevity:

Current revision as of 03:43, 19 November 2008 (edit) (undo)Dabomb87 (Talk | contribs) (script-assisted date/terms audit; see mosnum, wp:overlink)

Banally citing policy, without considering its application, is inappropriate. Further, persons such as Lazare Ponticelli are famous due to age, as "living history." It seems incredibly ridiculous for you to continue deleting pertinent links.Ryoung122 03:57, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I still do not see how links to what are essentially trivia articles aid the reader's understanding of the topic. Also, please do not introduce new formatting errors in addition to your erroneous linking of dates, such as putting commas after the month in day-month-year format. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Date linking

I notice you're running a script which removes full date links. Can you please stop running the script? There is currently no consensus for the removal of date links (see WT:MOSNUM) and doing so only hinders our ability to format those dates later. Thanks! —Locke Cole • t • c 19:30, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Date Linking with a reason

According to the below policy, date-linking is OK if there is a reason to do so:

Linking of dates Shortcuts: MOS:UNLINKYEARS MOS:UNLINKDATES Dates (years, months, day and month, full dates) should not be linked, unless there is a reason to do so. More information can be found at WP:CONTEXT#Dates. In particular, dates should not be linked purely for the purpose of autoformatting (even though in the past this was considered desirable).[1]

Yet your apparently automated edits do not consider whether there might be a reason. In particular, any article dealing with biography, longevity, or historical events have a good argument for date-linking. Remember, date-delinking was originally begun once autoformatting was no longer needed. Unfortunately, people like you have misinterpreted the policy into a "zero tolerance" policy.Ryoung122 07:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Comment: Your rationale below is faulty:

Current revision as of 02:40, 9 November 2008 (edit) (undo)Dabomb87 (Talk | contribs) (do not link dates, it is against MOSNUM and the links do not aid readers' understanding

It is NOT against MOSNUM to link dates; it is only against MOSNUM to link dates without a "reason to do so." Also, links DO aid reader's understanding. What do you think the purpose of a date is? To allow readers to place a person or event in historical context. Enabling the user to click on the date to see "what happened in year X" makes a lot of sense.Ryoung122 08:05, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not meant for discretionary browsing; if users want to do that, the search box is awfully handy. That "without a reason to do so" wording is awfully ambiguous and is still under discussion, it just happened to be what was on the page when it was protected. Even so, if linking a year provides "historical context", what is the point of linking a month and the day? Dabomb87 (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Warning regarding unlinking of dates

As this practice (and the actual manual of style guideline) are currently in dispute, you should probably back off of unlinking dates until the dispute is resolved. Prior ArbCom cases have looked unfavorably on editors who attempt to force through disputed changes on a massive scale as you (and other editors) are doing. Specifically, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Episodes_and_characters_2/Proposed_decision#Fait_accompli, which I quote:

Editors who are collectively or individually making large numbers of similar edits, and are apprised that those edits are controversial or disputed, are expected to attempt to resolve the dispute through discussion. It is inappropriate to use repetition or volume in order to present opponents with a fait accompli or to exhaust their ability to contest the change. This applies to many editors making a few edits each, as well as a few editors making many edits.

— Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Episodes_and_characters_2/Proposed_decision#Fait_accompli

Continuing this behavior could be considered disruption. Please stop and instead participate in the ongoing discussions at WT:MOSNUM and elsewhere. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

That is a very odd post. Rather than threatening users, the writer might have stepped back and pondered whether his actions represent the disruption. Tony (talk) 12:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually it is a very relevant post. Dabomb87 has not shown any inclination to discuss this issue, instead using volume of changes to force acceptance...clearly not ethical behavior.Ryoung122 05:01, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Tony did not say it was irrelevant, he said it was "odd". I am not "forcing acceptance", as you say. Clearly, you could go through my delinking edits and revert them and in most cases, I would not stop you. However, that would definitely be "unethical behavior". Furthermore, reverting a good faith edit that complies with MOS and calling it "vandalism" is surely not "ethical". Dabomb87 (talk) 13:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

2008 Tennis Masters Cup

Hello, I'm a regular editor on tennis articles, and the main contributor to the 2008 Tennis Masters Cup article. I have tried, for that page, to cover all points extensively with refs, in order to approach a FA-class article. I intend to put the page to the Peer Review sometime soon, but before that I'd like to review the page myself again - and see what other editors have to say about it. Since you've read the article, and work frequently at the Peer Review, I thought I'd ask you for advice about the page. What do you think are the major flaws of the article, or, in what ways do you think it falls short of the FA requirements ? Cheers, --Oxford St. (talk) 12:34, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Name of the US Open

After long discussion and as evidenced by editing practices since then, the name of this tournament on English-language Wikipedia is "US Open", not "U.S. Open", "U S Open", or any other variation thereof. The pre-open era version is called the "U.S. Championships". Tennis expert (talk) 06:57, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I second that. User:Yohan euan o4's move from 2008 U.S. Open (tennis) to 2008 US Open (tennis) was a good, and long due one. It does create inconsistency with previous articles, but the best thing would be to move the 1969-2007 articles to the right name US Open, and not keep the 2008 one to the wrong name.

"Year of" Articles NOT trivia

Please stop your campaign of harassment and POV attack against history and historians. "Year of" articles are NOT trivia, or trivial.

Date Autoformatting

Here you say: Autoformatting is a trivial function that doesn't affect the appearance of the dates that much.
I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean. (Not wanting to make too much of a fool of myself in public, I'm asking here rather than there!) Would you mind explaining what you mean in a little more detail? Sorry to bother you. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 08:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that, and its thoroughness!

Interesting. I think I hold a different groups of opinions to yours, but I wouldn't go as far as saying I actually disagree with you.

In my (no doubt biassed) opinion, I think it would be better if auto-formatting and date-linking were two separate and independent functions. I think you agree with that? I also think you think linking every date is a bad idea. Yes?

Changing subject slightly: One can't enclose the whole date in one set of brackets. (Correct?) Do you know why it was implemented that way? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, we agree more than you think! Although I do not believe that autoformatting is very useful, if the developers can separate date autoformatting from date linking (make them 2 separate functions), and make it available for all users (including IP's), I would not complain. As for linking dates, I believe that in 95% of the cases, linking dates is not necessary. However, I believe there should be exceptions to that rule; link to dates on articles about calendar items (such as 12 May, December, 2009, Sunday) and articles about well-known holidays (I would link 25 December on an article about Christmas). "One can't enclose the whole date in one set of brackets." I know that if you do that, the date will not be autoformatted. I do not know why the developers did things the way they did.

Hey, you may remember me from a peer review that I opened for Pendulum discography a couple of months ago. Since you were kind enough to leave a review of the article, I thought you might be interested to know that it is now (finally) an FLC candidate. If you have some time, any additional comments or opinions would be very helpful. Otherwise, I apologise for bothering you. Thanks – Ikara ^talk → 23:31, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits. I've asked Nygaard why he's been obstructing there. User_talk:Gene_Nygaard#Patrick_White Tony (talk) 02:41, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
