I'd rather get fucked up the ass than use wikipedia, the biggest storehouse of shit on the internet.

Hello,

Why do you redirect the Oregon Humane Society page to Humane Society, yet alow Humane Society of the United States to have their own page?

Cleanup project for you

Yousef al-Khattab. I already asked Joe weeks ago, but he's apoplectic about the U.S. performance at the World Cup. I cannot touch Y al-K myself because of the obvious bias issues - it'll be obvious to you when you read the article. Basically, it needs to be rewritten from scratch as a proper stub, minus the UE nonsense, the children's names, etc. Let me know if you'd be willing to undertake. - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a decent stub under there - not that that person has ever done anything substantive - but lots of attention has been attracted by that fact that he is such a weirdo. - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Very unique - but didn't do anything notable. Deserves an article - but not a perfect subject. Use ((inuse|XX hours)) - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Byteusa: What do you mean?

On the byteusa article: I read the notable page you posted, but... How does an article such as newegg differ from this one? What could be changed so that I does meet one of the criteria?

In my view, this article is part of the "whole of human knowledge" as well neutral. Thanks for your help. --§p¥ÐêR ÇÅñض܊ 22:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I have reduced the time on your {inuse} message on Yousef al-Khattab to 4 hours, from an earlier 56 hours. If you mark articles as "in use" for very long periods, it can be counter-productive, since the message is more likely to be ignored by other editors. -- The Anome 07:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

User talk:Srose/Love

Hi there! As one of the primary contributors to this page, I wanted to let you know that I asked User:Srose to delete the page (which it seems as if she's done) and the talk page (which remains) because of it's violation of Wikipedia policy regarding userspace, which can be found here. I wanted to approach the users directly, rather than proposing an MfD or the like, as the personal nature of the content doesn't need to be scrutinized by the community to determine whether it should or shouldn't be allowed on Wikipedia. You can see my and Srose's talk page for the conversation and original request. Please note that my request is not a result of any personal animosity to either you or the other primary contributor; in fact, I made the request not only because it's clearly violating policy, but because I didn't want another user putting it up for MfD or bringing it up during an RfA or something.

Burlington Center Mall

A description of the location and a listing of anchor stores is typical for most shopping mall articles. See List of largest shopping malls in the United States for a sampling of articles, many of which include far more detailed listings of stores. The Burlington Center Mall article was updated to reinsert the appropriate information. Rather than an unembelleished reference to WP:NOT, please provide a detailed explanation of what is being removed and why. Alansohn 04:09, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I see you're advising others that my story is up for a "delete." If it's for OR, I don't think you followed the discussion as close as you might have. Still, I don't mind my story falling by the wayside, but not for OR or becuase one or two (in this case) don't like it. I'd like an overwhelming vote by those whose stories I can read. I don't want to see their stories because of resentment, but I'd like to know they can write. I know I can, and I think you know I can too.

Wow, a little quick on the gun with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Krissel weren't we? I barely had time to change my mind before you already userfied the article.

re: article titled "Gary Freedman"

Gary Freedman is notable in that he authored a lengthy blog that is written entirely in the form of quotations. It is, to the best of my knowledge, the only blog of its kind.

The Central High School of Philadelphia is a Wikipedia entry and should have a link.

WOW -- After so Much

Thanks so much Yanksox: (I clicked on that "little" talk thing) I thought everybody was off on other projects. I couldn't see how they were going to see my responses. By now, I felt their must be another process. Anyway, please (I don't have it in front of me) where I wrote "advising..." (again, I'm not looking at it); that was not accusatory. I thought someone takes the lead, and talks to others (not me) regarding my piece. That's it on that. However, I sure would like to discuss it at length, because it is a disaster similar to Chernobyl (I told all this to Zoe - she must be busy elsewhere) but without the the nuclear waste, but so many, many other chemicals are all over the atmosphere here(water ground and air), so much so you can develope photo film in the St Clair River (the international channel between US and CDA) merely by dipping it in a pail of the "clean water." It is not my POV alone (NPOV) that this wasteland is so thoroughly polluted (including the plants and refineries officials they agree - they are continually working with us, so far all attmpts have been futile, 'we/with them' are not giving up) I am quite happy to get your kind response, I can't thank you enough for being willing to discuss this. So many, over the last two days, so many responses from me to editors have gone without a hint that I am getting a response. Like I said, I thought it was some's job to make recommenadations, and other's come along after and do something else. While that didn't seem like a big seller in an editing sense, I was going to try to ask elsewhere. You are very kind, thank you. Bud WhiteyeBud Whiteye 23:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Recieved and noted. Will look forward to your editng. I am not going to shoot myself. BWBud Whiteye 23:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Yanksox21

Well done Yanksox: Can I do a rewrite? Or is a good idea, or good information that nobody had before get only one shot? One editor keeps wanting me to write about Sarnia and the story might be OK with some obvious changes.( Sarnia is the Canadian City next door to Aaajiwnaang - you can spell that easier after two honest attempts) But, Sarnia is relatively OK. They are downwind and downstream from the problem. Bad PR may be their only problem, but they work with us too, looking for stop measures. BTW They get freshwater from huge Lake Huron. Anyway, I'm used to editing, most writers are. If submitters complain alot or right away, it's because it may be the first time writing where they have to be edited. PS If I wrote about Sarnia, it would be like writing about Bhophol (sp) only using New Dehli to capture readers. While India as a whole suffered, the victims were in Bhophol alone. Anyway, I'd love to take your instructions and do a re-write if it's not against the rules. (Like everybody only gets one shot or something????) BWBud Whiteye 12:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank You. I don't know what delete means anyway. If it means I'm gone, I'll go wishing I could have worked with a couple of you, even to have met you. A few of you are really good and kind. But, the world is as it is. I still won't shoot myself. But I am a VietNam Vet and I'm getting pretty damn ticked off. Just kidding, but I am a VietNam Vet, Sgt Whiteye, (not a lifer, just a Troop USMC) if you Google at all, there is a good short piece there done by some Digital Company, gives you a quick (one page) glance. A admin has been here and said that if the work has been elsewhwre it is okay, not OR. Zoe (editor, admin??) said it is wrong?? {{please help me}} I am used to only one right and one wrong kind of thing. I read the admins BIO, he is an admin. Bud Whiteye 13:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)BW

Your edit to User talk:Logicalfall

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. - CobaltBlueTony 16:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

headline text

At the risk of self-promotion, I want to say that the blog "Significant Moments" is extremely unusual, if not unique, either in blogging or among published books. In addition the blog has significant literary merit, which you can see for yourself. That fits a common definition of "notable," even if it doesn't fit Wikipedia's definition of notable.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Garyfreedman (talk • contribs) 11:34, 21 June, 2006

That's great. Of course it changes nothing as we follow the standards of notability layed out on Wikipedia, not any others. --Lord Deskana ^{I VALUE YOUR OPINIONS} 16:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, Yanksox. I've totally rewritten the entry. I've eliminated the obvious puffery and focused on the one significant issue, a blog (or book) written entirely in the form of quotations.

These are the issues I would focus on:

Does the blog possess a quality of uniqueness?

Does the blog possess literary merit?

Can Wikipedia envision that literary specialists or others might search for references to a work written entirely in the form of quoatations, known as Melitzah?

I believe that there are people out there who might look for references to Melitzah. Incidentally, my information about the literary form known as Melitzah is drawn from Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi's book titled Freud's Moses: Analysis Terminable and Interminable. Yerushalmi is a professor of Jewish Studies at Columbia University.

Yanksox21

Hi! I'm not against what you said about let the page run out and go over to Aamjw... First Nation. I would like very much to get my article "encyclopedic-ready" as it were, (or so to speak). So that I know I lived by the rules, met the requirements, and go on to help Wikipedia with the best of my ability. I don't understand yet what going over to the other site really means, e.g., would they like me to barge in on them?, how would I know I, on my own with your help, can reach the goals of the Wikipedia as a stand-alone effort if I merge with someone elses ideas; will we get the recognition of working hard toward a goal, if we mix our stuff up???? Thanks Again Yanksox, I really feel you have the best in mind for me, and I'm willing to follow. I have always believed in learning to follow before leading.

Hi Yanksox, this is regarding the {{nothanks}} template that you placed in User talk:SHLAMA regarding the above article. This template refers to "copyrighted" information. However, I was unable to locate a copyright for this text. Were you able to find a copyrighted source? Or was using this particular template a mistake? Thanks, Accurizer 00:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

"f" after "e" that is; NOT the usual, other, perhaps salacious interpretation. (But, both foot or end notes use numbers 1 thru ..., only end notes deal with a page at a time vs at the end) Is this good for Wikipedia? I can write a dry piece with the best of them.

Not quite sure how you rewrite a basic bio...the underlying content will be the same. I just restored the link to the longer original bio of the Fairfield University website. I do have permission from the Marketing VP of the University to use the content from the website in expanding the Wikipedia article.

No you got it right - I was on a roll with new page patrolling and also going on very little sleep, not a good combo, I didn't even see your previous edit and edit summary before I tagged it. I think I'll turn in for the night before I make another slip. Thanks for catching this --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 04:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Eh I don't judge users by their talk pages... if you looked through mine I'd probably come off looking like a cross between McCarthy & Hitler for all the "evil" linkspam hunting & removal I do! Take care --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 05:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

No, you didn't at all! You really changed my mind. If people were afraid of arguing a point, what would Wikipedia be? A bunch of people not arguing points, thats what. :P But really don't worry about it, if anything it was my terse unexplanitory reply to your explination.

Good, and good luck with that. If you didn't know her in real life, that would be really, really creepy. Though I wouldn't have said that if you didn't... anyway, cheers. Wikibout-Talk to me! 03:55, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the extra submissions, this is only the second time I have submitted at Wikipedia and it will be a while before I get used to how the editing/submitting system works. If I make a change to a page and then mark it minor change, is that also a concern?

Thanks for the warm welcome, Yanksox

I'm sure I'll be ringing your Wikibell (!) for help.

Re [4], Gold is an offensive color. You should pick something darker and less flashy/more readable. - CrazyRussian talk/email 12:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Telfair

Hi! I thought it was a good trade for the Celtics, as explained in this brief breakdown;

• They were able to save money by trading LaFrentz as part of the deal; Theo Ratliff has an equally-terrible contract, but Ratliff's has only two years left on it compared to LaFrentz' three.
• In as far as talent, I feel that it's a wash between the big men. Ratliff plays better defense and LaFrentz plays better offense. Each have questions about injuries and both were/are not going to play much in the upcoming two seasons, as Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge will probably use the bulk of the frontcourt minutes to further develop Al Jefferson, Kendrick Perkins, Ryan Gomes, and Gerald Green (I'm assuming Green will play SF, not SG).
• One has to view the Telfair trade with eyes looking towards who the Celtics could've chosen with the number seven pick, had they kept it.
  • I've seen Foye play quite a bit in college (on TV and at the 2005 Big East Tournament) and it's clear that he benefitted from Villanova's game plan, which relies heavily on a three guard set for offense. His collegiate offensive statistics were inflated a bit as a result of this, but he can play, regardless. He's not a pure point guard, but then again, neither is Delonte West, so I think he would've fit in well with the Celtics system.
  • Rudy Gay was another option at the number seven pick, and I've never liked him, as it seems as if he often "mails in" his performance. In college basketball, atheletes can excel on superior talent alone, but in the NBA, it takes long hard days in the gym to become a premier player. On and off the court, Gay comes across as a player who wouldn't be willing to put forth the extra effort (which is sad, as he has the talent to become an all-star caliber player in time).
• Personally, I don't like Telfair's attitude (based on the ESPN film), but he's a undeniable talent. I haven't seen him play much in the NBA, so I have to look at the stats and what the analysts have been saying over the past two years. His statistics from this past season are skewed, as he broke his finger eight games into the season and when he healed and came back, he had to compete for time with Jarrett Jack and Steve Blake. As a new point guard, it's imperative that one plays consistent minutes on a daily basis to get a feel for the players that share the court with him. Telfair never had that consistency, and his game suffered for it. If one looks to his statistics from before he got injured, he had good, if not great numbers for a then-20 year old in the NBA.
• The second round pick that the Celtics receive and Dan Dickau going to Portland are non-factors, as the Celtics already have two second round picks next year and it will probably be traded as filler at some point. I'm a fan of Dickau, but it looks like he's going to have a hard time making an NBA roster this season, as he's been injured. It all depends on his performance if he plays in a Summer League and how he's been able to recover from his injuries.

With that, it seems like a good trade for the salary cap savings in 2009 and an interesting young talent in Telfair. I'm on the fence about Foye's eventual NBA career vs. Telfair's, but I'll defer to Ainge's judgment, as he obviously knows more than I do about each player. The 2006 draft was weak by all accounts and if Telfair entered the draft this year, he'd probably be the first overall pick, as pure point guards that can shoot, pass, and play defense at respectable levels are a tough commodity to come by. In short, good trade as of now and time will eventually tell if it was a step towards reaching 17. hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 05:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• In as far as the need for a a real point guard (i.e. a pure point guard who played at the one in college), I think it all depends on each team's style and gameplan. Combo guards Dwayne Wade and LeBron James both led their respective teams in assists this past year and both teams had productive seasons (especially in Miami's case). Delonte West played SG in college, while Jameer Nelson played PG at St. Joe's. Both play the point in the NBA and have almost identical statistics (points, rebounds, assists, and the all-important A/TO ratio). The Celtics have a lot of fast athletic wings that can score (Pierce, Allen, Green, Gomes, Szczerbiak), so I think Delonte, who is still learning how to play PG, could fit in well with the team in the future. With that, it's nice to have back-up plans in Rondo and Telfair (the latest rumor out of Boston, however, has the Celtics trading one of the three PG's along with Szczerbiak, Green and/or Jefferson to Philadelphia for Allen Iverson; but I don't take much stock into rumors).
• I wouldn't expect much from Theo Ratliff. He's 33 years old with a history of injuries. He will be primarily used for defensive purposes when the Celtics play a team with a dangerous low-post scorer. He averaged about 5 minutes a game last season and I would expect he'd play more with the Celtics, but not much more. The Celtics traded for him to unload LaFrentz' contract, not for his potential contributions to the team.
• The lack of experience at C/PF isn't as much of a problem as it was in the recent past, as the Celtics have young players Kendrick Perkins and Al Jefferson (who now have five years of NBA experience between them). Both have shown their enormous potential on the court in brief spurts throughout the season. Perkins averaged 15 rebounds per 48 minutes last season, and had a 19 rebound game. Jefferson averaged 21 points and 15 rebounds per 48 minutes last season and his stats are a bit skewed as he was injured for most of the season with ankle problems and only started eight games. Also, the Celtics recently hired Clifford Ray, a renowned C/PF coach, to work with both players, so perhaps they will learn from him and improve their individual games over the off-season. One needs to remember that neither player attended college, so with high school players (especially those who play PF/C), one cannot reasonably expect the player to contribute at a productive level until at least their third year in the NBA (at age 21), because they didn't have the coaching and game experience that one would normally receive in college. Take a look at Jermaine O'Neal or Tracy McGrady's careers and you'll see that they didn't produce in their first few seasons either. hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 19:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Requiem for a Dream

I think it's good that you're creating the novel page. If I may make a suggestion, I think you should do the following: Instead of making a page for the novel, make a page for the film (Titled "Requiem for a Dream (film)") and move the information on the current page to that one. Then you can use the current page as one for the novel. Does that make sense? Nqnpipnr 02:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Well in that case, would you like me to create the new page so you can just fix up the novel's? Nqnpipnr 02:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

No, I've never read it, but I love the movie and I want to improve that page. I'm starting the film's page now. Nqnpipnr 02:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I do want to read it someday. Looks pretty good. Nqnpipnr 14:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
