Undeletion request notification

Hi, you participated in a deletion request at commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Wikipe-tan lolicon (2007-01-04). The same files are now being considered for undeletion at commons:Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:LoliWikipetan.jpg. If you're still around we'd appreciate your opinion and feedback. Thanks! Dcoetzee 23:22, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. While I disagree that the image should be undeleted, I can't fault you for bringing this up for discussion. I'm a little surprised no one else had done so in the last four years. -- Ned Scott 12:59, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I removed fan sites according to the guidelines written on Wikipedia:External_links#What_to_link. Some of the fan sites linked there are not written in a neutral point of view nor are they written by anyone of higher authority.

Leave the tantrum

Editor has been reported and will likely be blocked before long. Let's leave the tantrum and clean it up then.This is just a waste of time right now.  :) Cheers Wikipelli ^Talk 03:10, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

@Ned Scott, an anon IP had an absolute tantrum on your talk page; see the edit history; looks like a lot has since been removed. Calabe1992 (talk) 03:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you to all involved for cleaning it up for me. I don't know who it is, but it's probably the same anon who comes by every so often. I meant to leave his original message on my talk page but removed it by accident when I was cleaning up other sections (damn iPhone), since he gets tired quickly and leaves. It doesn't really bother me much, but it's kind of funny that this guy cares enough about 3-4 year old drama to keep bringing it up. I guess that means I made a lasting impression on someone? :D -- Ned Scott 07:14, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to event: bot, template, and Gadget makers wanted

I thought you might want to know about some upcoming MediaWiki & Wikimedia developers' events (such as the hackathon preceding Wikimania), where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, extending functionality with JavaScript, the future of mw:ResourceLoader and Gadgets, the new Lua templating system, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

show hack template colbert

Can you please explain what the need for this template is and why the standard episodelist isnt used?? just it doesnt seem to be needed and if there no real reason for it it should be covnerted to epsiodelist and this show hack deleted--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 17:07, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Citation needed

Hi Ned. Statements like "the aim of MOS:BOLD is to avoid bold abuse in typical articles. " and "It's talking about unnecessary over-use of emphases in traditional pose/article-style, which is very hard to apply to a list. " really need evidence. As far as I can tell, that's simply your (and other folk's) convenient interpretation of MOS. I don't see any explicit guidance in MOS that backs up your stance. "The aim of..." & "It's talking about..." is all very well but it's not laid out quite as objectively factually as you seem to claim. Would you be able to back up your claims with evidence or are they just that, claims? (By the way, what's a "typical article" or a "traditional prose/article-style" page?) The Rambling Man (talk) 19:15, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Most of this is common sense, man. Guidelines, like the MOS, are typically not explicit, because then they would be Policy. That's a fundamental of Wikipedia, and I'm sure there's a page that explains the different between guidelines and policies. You've been around long enough to know this, and to know what I'm saying. Being overly bureaucratic in a discussion like this (where people simply do just explain things how they see them and attempt to honestly re-account what was going on when these pages were made) strikes me as you trying to find a way to discount anything I say because I can't cite god having decreed everything I have said.

Are you seriously asking me to cite talk page discussion? I've been through at least two ArbCom cases, coming out on top on both, so it's certainly something I can do, but I'm taken back that you think that I would lie about these things, or that I even have anything to gain from this. If anything, it's little disputes like this that cause me to avoid Wikipedia. What have I done to you to earn such distrust from you? I am not here for a dispute, I am here for productive, happy work that makes Wikipedia a better place to edit and read.

It's bold titles in episode lists. In the big picture I don't really give a fuck if they're bold or not. However, I enjoy trying to help, trying to make this great tool that is {{episode list}} better, and to try to defuse the unnecessarily heated debate (and pile-up on one editor). It also helps distract me from the fact that I'm 29 years old, and right now am getting chemo-theory treatments for cancer. Otherwise I wouldn't have the free time to comment on this stuff, which is why I haven't been as active as I once was. (And no, that's not for pity. While this is has been a major event in my life, I got lucky and the doctor expects me to be 100% cancer free at the end of treatment).

I wanted to make my viewpoint on the bold titles clear, but at the same time I am trying to present something else that keeps getting ignored: I don't want to push for or fight for bold titles. I only want the {{episode list}} template to be the best template it can be. I would rather explore ideas not even considered than repeat everything that has already been said about bold titles. Bold titles was one method tried, and the only method so far. I have no attachment to that method.

So calm down man. This isn't a dispute. We are supposed to work together, and to respect each other. It's one thing to ask if I can clarify myself, or even point to a previous discussion about something I brought up. It's another to start treating it like an ArbCom case. -- Ned Scott 19:56, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm perfectly calm, thanks for your concern. I am tired of reading "MOS is only for prose", that's simply untrue. I also can't deal with walls of rebuke. I didn't ask for this, I just said, let's try, as a project (i.e. Wikipedia) to comply with a common set of style guidelines. And I strongly advocated it for FLC, particularly for inclusivity, per WP:ACCESS. I have little interest in anything else here, just for brilliant lists that everyone can enjoy.

As for your treatment, of course, I wish you the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Then allow me to apologies for coming off that way. The MOS isn't just only for prose. I say prose for a lack of a better word to come to my mind. I do think that the main context of the MOS is for normal paragraphed pages, rather than lists, or mathematical examples, or other "not quite article" pages or sections. Most, if not all, of the MOS can still be applied to such pages/sections, but should be treated in context to the situation. I come to these conclusions based on the discussions that often lead to MOS and guideline pages. If we go back and look at "what the problem was" and "what the guideline is trying to do/fix", we often see that we are trying to apply these guidelines to situations that might not have been considered before, so we do have to rely on interpretation and good judgement. That's why I don't have an explicit passage to cite to anyone.

When I bring up my take on these things, I'm sorry if I'm coming off as "a matter of fact", rather than "this is just what I think based on my experiences here at Wikipedia". I don't expect anyone to take it as fact, but just as a point in a discussion. I can see how I could have come off as "matter of fact", and probably should have ran through my postings before posting them, so that my intent was clearer.

I also did not mean to have my statements be "walls of rebuke". I only wanted to clarify my viewpoints. For one reason, I wanted to make it clear I wasn't trying to be confrontational. At least that's how it worked out in my mind as I was writing up replies. That's why my first posting about wanting bold titles was followed by a "on second thought" reply, because it really isn't that specific "bold" issue that I even care about. I guess it's easy for me to get caught up in expressing myself, and maybe when I go on too long about it, it comes off as "walls of rebuke".

Also, I think it is very awesome that {{episode list}} is coming into compliance with WP:ACCESS. That's one of the best additions to the template in years and really ups the functionality. Thank you for pushing that. I wasn't even aware about the way screen readers work and all that, and found it very cool that things would work better with them. -- Ned Scott 20:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Ned, no problems. Fighting for proper accessibility is a challenge that the more technical featured list candidates have to deal with daily. Reading prose is usually a cinch for most of us and for screen readers, but reading tables isn't so straight-forward for everyone. I was certainly one of the cynics when access-savvy folks complained about our tables but now I realise it's more important than I thought. For slight aesthetic changes, we gain huge rewards for the "disabled" community. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

RFC/User

Because you are an editor who has participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or a closely related one), I call your attention to discussion at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Rhode Island Red.2. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 16:49, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I probably won't be of much help, given that my comments on the previous RfC had more to do with concerns with some of the people who filed the RfC, and the application of SPA/sock tags, rather than commenting on Rhode Island Red's specific behavior. Though I guess it might be a nice arbitrary reason to poke my head back in Wikipedia and provide some "semi-outsider" input on a situation. -- Ned Scott 16:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

XBMC

Kodi Media Center should be rename back to Kodi Entertainment Center as Blog post.

Hello, I am actually a member of Team XBMC/Kodi. Right now neither "sub-title" is official, since we haven't made any formal announcements that could then be used as a source by wikipedia, and my own knowledge isn't considered a verifiable source.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!
