Amazon

Hey. I am a wikipedian for just a few days and I do not know a lot of things yet. One of them is if I should place my disscusion here. You modified my category of Peoples of Amazon just into Amazon. That article abou Barasanas was my seventh abou the Amazonian peoples. As more will be made I hope to link them all in one category, that is Peoples of Amazon. --IonutC (talk) 01:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, People of the Amazon is a very good name :)

Thanks about that tip, for now I know how to use only the first five buttons of the editing page. I take a glance once and a while at the Wikipedia tutorials but it feels like there is too much information at once. I am going to take them step by step. Thats why I started with small articles. Hope my English is suitable, for it is not my native language :)

One problem that I have is that my browser doesnt seem to support the apostrophe. I use Safari on Windows, and it just stops seeing the text after an apostophe. You happen to know by any chance how (or if) I can fix this?

Talk page archiving

I went and fixed it up for you; let me know if I need to tweak any of what I did. The move method seems common, but i prefer the cut and paste method since it's far less messy. Any extra help can be found at Help:Archiving a talk page :) Wizardman 03:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

I saw you added a stub that the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was a registered historic place. I am having difficulty verifying that. Please direct me to the reference on that. Thanks. FieldMarine (talk) 03:24, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. Happy New Year to you. FieldMarine (talk) 03:33, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not on the National Register, but apparently is recognized by the state and county governments. It sounds like it should qualify. I've found that many churches are afraid of being listed on the National Register because they are afraid it will subjec them to increased control by local bureaucrats. This church is a Carpenter Gothic structure which is am endangered species. It's the oldest congregation and church building in the area. clariosophic (talk) 17:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi! It's me again... Can you please check those two webpages and see if they are enough to create an Eftekasat page?! http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2006/808/pe1.htm http://www.dailystaregypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=4921 Thanks Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 11:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment on J-stan's RfA

Hi there, I've removed your !vote at J-stan's RfA It's considered bad form to comment/vote/discuss before the RfA is accepted. I just wanted to let you know so that you can re-add your !vote once the RfA has been accepted and properly filled. Happy editing. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 12:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies, I was confused by the editor's use of the word "author" - I presumed (not unreasonably) that they were talking about the author of the book, not the author of the page. Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 21:38, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

• No need to apologize to me, it's fine. BTW, he was refering to the author of the book. He claimed to be in contact with the author. Whatever. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Dells Raceway Park

Thank you for salvaging the article from speedy deletion. Creating an article for it was on my To Do list for a while. I have already posted images of the track on my Flickr account that I'll upload. Cheers! Royalbroil 04:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd rather save an article any day. I rarely delete (except in extremely cases) even though I now can. Royalbroil 05:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Macfoy family (Sierra Leone)

An editor has nominated Macfoy family (Sierra Leone), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Macfoy family (Sierra Leone) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

image removal

Me and Lyor have been pals for over 20 years. He thought it was funny but I'll try and dig up one from the same session (we were at a wedding) when he wasn't goofing around. As for the earlier caption, it was me ribbing him since he can be kinda pompous and vain. I'm like his keeping it real 'angel' on his shoulder to counter the showy media baron 'devil' on the other. --It's Dark... • ...and Hell Is Hot! 19:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Douglas Rushkoff

You've apparently "offended" Graham Wellington (talk · contribs). He has taken umbrage at the language you used in your edit summary here [1], which contained the word "bullshit". I've explained to him that your reversion was valid and that I personally believe the summary to be, at worst, impolite. Perhaps you should provide him with context? ;-) Although his message was fairly innocuous, disregarding the emotive tone, his interactions with you are resembling (if not bordering on) agitation. I won't be able to devote much energy to Wikipedia this weekend, so if it continues I suggest explaining your situation at WP:AN. Regards, SoLando (Talk) 22:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies for the belated reply. The city of Liverpool has been celebrating the beginning of its status as "European Capital of Culture". Uh, Ringo.........performed ;-) This message is essentially an addendum really. Further research has yielded more interesting diffs, such as this edit by Graham Wellington's avowed IP 67.83.219.204 (talk · contribs). I googled to determine the veracity of that edit and produced no relevant results. Various sources indicate that he was/is Catholic...can you confirm that? My good faith has been seriously depleted so I've prepared a report for AN should conditions necessitate. Don't hesitate to contact me :-) Regards, SoLando (Talk) 22:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Substituting "Torah" for "bible" has obvious implications, assuming Jamelke is indeed not Jewish. Technicalities certainly can't apply to that edit, alas ;-). SoLando (Talk) 00:55, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Your Message

Whatever dude. All my edits on Lyor Cohen are not only true but well sourced. You can't candycoat a profile of a guy who is a villain in the world of rap. I'll bring on the NY Times and LA Times reports on Lyor even if I have to pay for the archives and host them on my own site. Stop being such a fanboi. --Piepie (talk) 07:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Cohen Biz

Okay. Sorry for the snarky tone...I don't wanna get in a pissing match with anyone. I was in the middle of trying to do a thorough job and you were all up in it.

He's a polarising figure in the music biz and especially in the rap world (my 'field' if you will) who is very much in the public eye atm (Warner Music's stock plunge/job on line).

Also, all that controversy is legit and verifiable. However, some of the better sources/links are now in archives that you have to pay to get at. That's not good for me or the wiki's readers. In fact nearly every thing that needs sourcing is in one archived LA Times piece that covered the Murder Inc raid and the TVT case combined.

Lest you think it's an 'attack piece', if you go back into the history I've provided straight-up information. And I tried to put in some humanising stuff which you also removed (he's a dad, sportsman, and active in fundraising for the deaf). Other bios have that stuff so I don't know where you draw the line.

Anyway...no harm no foul. Peace --Piepie (talk) 17:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Ethnic Coutnries

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Ethnic Coutnries. The reason is:

This article provides enough context to not be speedy deletable. If you still think it should be deleted, try PROD or AfD.

Cobra Noir

Hello, it was not me who created the Cobra Noir (band) article. It's just that somebody added informations about this band in the Black Cobra article. I know nothing about this band, and first I wanted to just rm the part about Cobra Noir, but then I had second thoughts: I think that may be it is best to check if this band meet the notability criteria or not before deleting it completely. I intend to do some researches on the web to check it (no more than a few days). Hervegirod (talk) 23:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

As said in my talk page, I was not the one who created Cobra Noir information at first (just put it in a separate article), and I don't know this band, but I think that deleting an article after 5 mns is going a bit too far ;-) Hervegirod (talk) 23:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Lyor Cohen

I deleted the image from Wikipedia per the IFD discussion. The image is also on Commons and that is what you are seeing. To remove the image from the Commons will require a request for deletion on the Commons. Whether or not the image stays in the article is up to the editors of the article. Those discussion usually take place on the article talk page. -Nv8200p talk 04:39, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Pratically, I had no effect. The image was deleted from the Wikipedia image server system as determined by the WIkipedia IFD. Commons is a separate system and a separate IFD will have to be initated. Anyone can remove the image from the article but it can as easily be added back in. Until the image is removed from Commons or an agreement is reached to remove the image from the article, from a user perspectives the situation is the same. -Nv8200p talk 15:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

1) Nominate the image for removal from the Commons like was done on Wikipedia. 2) Start a discussion on the image talk page and see if there is a consensus to remove it. This looks like a legitimate free use image and I have never had any luck getting rid of such images no matter how crappy they are. There seem to always be two or three people that want to get keep the image and only me that wants it deleted so I cannot get consensus. Good luck -Nv8200p talk 19:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

terror/mass murderer

A terrorist does not need to kill anyone to be a terrorist. In some cases, they have succeeded in only blowing themselves up so they murder no one just commit suicide. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:46, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• I stand by the statement that a terrorist does not have to kill anyone. If I make a statement that I am going to blow up a building with the purpose of disrupting what goes on there, I am a terrorist. The threat of bodily harm will interrupt what people do even if I don't go though with the threat. The fact that some terrorists actually go though with the threats only makes my statements realistic. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

materialism

Give me a break bud, I have just started working on it ... what do you know about the subject?

--Lucyintheskywithdada (talk) 06:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I know absolutly nothing about the subject, and that's why I would love to see refs. :-). --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I think you should go back and read the policy notes for new page patrollers.

How can you make statements like " original research or unverified claims" if you know nadda about the topic? At the very least, go do a quick Google and make a judgement on the fly before slapping folk about, especially AS they are still working on an article, or check the user's track record for adding references and citations. it is not exactly conducive to editing.

"""So, did someone flag me up on some admin list or chat line? I have never had this problem before.

Ask first shoot later ... please--- Lucyintheskywithdada (talk) 06:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

1)Please point me to the "new page policy notes" where it states that one isn't supposed to put an unreferenced tag on an article with no references soon after it is created.

2)I'm not sure what you mean when you state "How can you make statements like 'original research or unverified claims' if you know nadda about the topic?" I don't have to know anything about a topic to see that there are no refrerences on the article. Just because there's a references somewhere, it still doesn't solve the problem if the Wikipedia article doesn't have a link to the reference.

3)In any case, I have no idea why you are getting so hung up about the tags. I can only imagine the reaction I would have gotten had I vandalized the article. The tags aren't permanent, if you don't like them then take them off. As a matter of fact, if you want to remove them without adding any references then go ahead, see if I care. The point of the tags isn't to give some sort of grade to the creator. It's there so that other editors might want to help finding references.

4)There's no admin chatline, as far as I know (I'm not even an admin). It's just that both of us (me and the one who took the article to afd) were sitting on the new pages and your article came across.

5)But if you still have a problem with my actions, then I am sorry, but you should know that I had good intentions. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 07:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Nathan Gale

People notable only for one event is for people "associated with only one event, such as for a particular relatively unimportant crime..." I'd like to suggest that murdering the guitarist of a Grammy-nominated band is not an unimportant crime. I'd like to consider removing that redirect. What are your thoughts? Kingturtle (talk) 15:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll tell you the truth, I looked at the contrib history only after I redirected it. When I saw that you had contributed substantially to the article I figured that you might not agree. I wouldn't have redirected sans discussion had I realized that an established and prominent editor as yourself was involved. In any case, it looks like you're right, and WP:BLP1E probably doesn't not apply. I'm still not sure about the overall notability, but I don't have a problem if you undo the redirect. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I haven't written any of that article. I just rv vandalism there really. I have it on my watchlist because it's an article that gets a good share of vandalism. Dimebag fans scrawling hatred toward Gale. I'll return the article to its previous form - and maybe today I'll do some work on that article to graduate it from being a stub. Thanks, and cheers!
