Smallpox thing

edit

I don't know how to sign, but this is about the smallpox thing you edited---it was not vandalism. Read the source itself--it only makes passing reference to smallpox as a weapon against the Indians (and its source is an un-cited paper about the need for vaccination written in 1945) ..it is a report on the modern usage of smallpox as a weapon. That being said, there is no credible evidence of smallpox blankets...some blankets may have been given to Indians with smallpox on them, but only as larger trades, but there is no hard evidence of this either.

I made a discussion in the discussion page. Did you see it? Either way I removed it again because it is not true. A section about unsubstantiated rumors of this happening could be put in, but I do not want to write it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.215.238.136 (talk) 00:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wow that was quick! If you don't believe that the link from the Hen Wlad Fy'Nhadau page is sufficient reason to reinstate the gwladrugby.com page, then I suggest you remove the link. I though the idea was to eliminate dead links? Iwanymmherth (talk) 23:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Assuming Good Faith.

edit

I believe that I made an error in judgment regarding your intentions on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Wilmington_Montessori_School. I would like to apologize for that. I began my first wiki entry (for WMS) by viewing most of the other articles for sister schools in the Mid-Atlantic region. At the time, I was unaware of WP:WAX and WP:N, as such, my first entries mirrored many of those articles and did not carry much weight for notability even though I was providing as much or more information than other representative schools (again, unaware of WP:WAX). Although I would have preferred a more cordial, initial comment on the lines of "not notable due to xxx", I have come to believe that your intent is to ensure quality WP content.

Since that time, I have been working to provide better sources for notability. Whether or not you agree with my opinion and those of other editors, I would still like to request that you review how the article currently stands along with the additional comments on the AfD and the article talk page.

Randy Richards Article

edit

The article contains the type of references you describe, citing issue dates and name of articles/newspapers. And someone, somewhere - indeed several someones - did find them, and reported this on the article's Talk page. So how do I improve these properly cited, independently verified, offline references? Thanks in advance. Malakai Joe (talk) 21:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have moved the article to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Malakai_Joe/Randy_Richards (scroll down to "TV Appearances & Community Activism") as suggested. Please check the references and let me know how I can improve, as previously noted. Malakai Joe (talk) 23:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, but you said the reference didn't have to be online. Both newspapers are very large, established newspapers, but they do not archive all (or apparently any) their articles online. The references I posted refer to specific dates and names of the articles, but not page numbers. I borrowed clips of the articles in question, and neither had page numbers on them. Malakai Joe (talk) 23:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I will try and get the exact dates. I am not familiar with Locus - what is that? Malakai Joe (talk) 23:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Are you saying that if I can find page numbers, the references would be good enough to get the article reinstated? The reason I ask, is that it may take a protracted effort, possibly even costing money. I want to know if its worth it. Malakai Joe (talk) 00:10, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not that I am aware of, but let's say I find one. Even if I get the exact dates and page numbers, I still can't post the articles online because of copyright issues. Malakai Joe (talk) 00:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

True, but we already had local independent verification on the Talk page of the Randy Richards article (unless you buy the argument that they were all the author, and he is a major hacker). The odds of an established Wikipedia editor (provided we could find a local one) taking the time and effort to do that kind of research seems "slim to none", especially when its not a guarantee of reinstatement. Malakai Joe (talk) 00:19, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. But whoever helps will likely get accused of being a puppet. Because a lot of the citations are offline, I don't think any amount of evidence will be good enough for these people. Malakai Joe (talk) 00:25, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I was thinking more along the lines of the helping editor being accused of being a Meatpuppet. Mr. Richards is very popular locally. Its not hard to imagine these haters claiming he would do it. They've made worse, more bizarre accusations. Malakai Joe (talk) 00:35, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Corvus, we go back a long way. Why on earth are you not an admin? You have the track record, the right attitude, the commitment and the respect of your colleagues. You would walk it and be a great admin. Why not go for it? --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 03:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your congratulations, it's no big deal yet, I am easing myself into the new role. I still think you'd make a great admin. OK, one week of intense scrutiny can be stressful, but just look at my RfA; it generated a WP:SSP, WP:CU & an ArbCom case. That was bizarre and stressful, but I had good support from people I had never seen before. If you ever want to go for it, you can count on my support; you have nothing to worry about. Until then, we are losing a potentially great admin. Regards, --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 04:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

When did you compete on Jeopardy?

edit

When did you try out on Jeopardy!? I saw that you were a contestant. Just curious. Chris (talk) 03:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I tried out for the 1991 Teen Tournament though it would have been for the 1991 College Tournament since I was a high school senior in May 1990 when I took the test in Chicago. I did not survive first cut though I knew a person who made it all the way to the semifinal of the 1991 Teen Tournament, Jim Paulsak (now deceased) from Dorman HS in Spartanburg, SC. Another person I met and competed against (though not in an actual tournament) was Eric Newhouse, the 1989 Teen Tournament champion from either West Sioux City HS or East Sioux City HS in Sioux City, IA. The high school I was with absolutely hammered Newhouse's high school in a scrimmage match while at that tournament. Palusak was a good guy while Newhouse was a complete jerk, IMO.

Re: Apology

edit

I accept the apology but I do not regret anything that I said last night. You went above and beyond what was needed to try and prove me wrong and got me blocked for absolutely no reason when I had already explained what I meant by "we." Especially when it was obvious that you didn't care about the subject matter at all, just whether you were right or not. The fact of the matter is that page gets vandalized A LOT, in fact I haven't touched it since last night and it's been hit around 5 times but I'm truly at the point where I don't care anymore because anything I'm going to change back is going to be reverted because somehow citing something from a band's official Myspace page (especially when most bands don't even bother with websites anymore because they use that as a source for all their news) isn't a reliable source. You would have realized that had you actually inspected the sources instead of acting without research. I know you acted without researching it first because you removed the non-Myspace sources as well. But I'm done arguing that fact and I'm moving on. DX927 (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Vitus again

edit

Yes, you did refute his existence, you just changed your tune now. He was never part of those bogus frat groups, that is where the whole hoax biz started, placing his name into that to make him look bad. Also there is some hacker in the works that is confussing posts- that is their game, and I was able to call him/her/them for that- I know because what was posted when I was blocked- they got to be from the Midwest and know Vitus personally, they gottahave some issues with the guy. Also, you even found Gilbert listed on an ebay site- you know those lithos are by him- and no one gets lithos without being in demand- lithos are expensive to make- you have to carve a whole stone- and it isn't worth the cost for a publishing company to do if the artist is not notable- it is just like being a published author- if you want to go around and limit valid knowledge for everyone- you aren't doing anything good. Also, why is thorp school flagged, how many articles are out ther about schools of no importance, and there is plenty of info out there to note it a a magnet schoool for Chicago. So this is what I mean Covus, bogus behavior, fingers are pointed, peoples reputations are ruined, and the witch hunts begin.Mctrain (talk) 23:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

You should also note, that asking for evidence from me about those frat group's does not make sense, I was not invoved with those frat group writings, in fact, I only learned about them after people brought them up, and I checked the background- I could care less about frat boys, never written about them.

Julian Z. Gilbert

edit

Yo, Crow. I'll say my piece in the AfD when I get home from work. If I may be so bold as to offer some advice: It's probably not a good idea to engage with Mctrain by responding to his various comments in the AfD. It looks rather unseemly and just encourages him to comment even more. With regard to the images (which are off topic in the AfD, so that discussion of them should probably be dropped there), the crucial points seem to me to be that (1) whether or not the uploader was the son of JZG, he never released the images under an acceptable free license—in fact, the captions he attached to them explicitly reserve all reproduction rights to himself and other JZG heirs—and (2) the images themselves were clearly copied from EBay and thus were not his to upload, even if he claims rights to the original works.

Yeah I was pondering that; Is it valuable to have entries on a disambig page that don't actually have links to the word in question? I decided that my opinion is, "Yes, it's valuable". Even though the Executive (raincoat) was not actually a link, the mention of it could be the answer to someone's question. I understand that we're only being encyclopedic and not omniscient and all-inclusive, and yet part of me just doesn't want to let factoids like that escape.

Thankyou much appreciated. Few people seem to be realising the potential of what I'm doing and are taking them at face value as they are initially. For instance - prime example. A typical stub like Albas, Lot. Now see this, the French equivalent Basically I see it that english wikipedia is missing 30,000 articles like this which I think eventually would be enormously beneficial. They should have been started years ago -surprised they weren't but they should a tleast be started!! I'm past the half way mark in total now anyway! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 00:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Lol I;m only too aware of this. The other day I added some infoboxes and images to places like Luang Prabang in Laos. At present we only have about 10 articles on towns in that country yet there are over 10,000 that exist. I;ve created over 100 missing locator maps so we can have push pin maps for any settlement in every country in the world. If wikipedia is to be taken seriously as thr "greatest source" then it needs to think about seriously thinking about how to achieve this for each country -nothing is more important than real world content, rather than a list of pokemon or list of fictional worlds in some sci series ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 21:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry if you think it's rude but I have never sent notices to taggers and I know no admin that does.

AfD or {{PROD}} (see WP:PROD for info) is the best route for albums. --ROGER DAVIES talk 06:21, 2 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is a rather meaningless post, as I'm sure that you'll see it there anyway, about the "personal attack attempt" that you removed. I made the comment small because the way that Phbasketball wrote that comment looked horrible and I wanted to make sure that the closing admin wouldn't think of it as a double-vote. Second, I wasn't in no way condoning the attack. I wasn't even sure what to make of it and thought better to not remove it or say anything about it. It was such a weak attempt at a personal attack, in my opinion, that I couldn't even make the call as to whether it was one or not.

So my "<small>-ing of the text was simply to protect you from a "double vote" (which you could've easily defended yourself from, anyway) and wasn't condoning the actual comment. Thought you should know that. Ksy92003 (talk) 14:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Could u kindly explain your action on this? Removing reproduced articles when it was use for the purpose of discussion & verification earlier (as per WP:FACT patrols) is one thing, but removing its link pointing to the history log that can be easily seen & traced is another matter. Being a free-lance history researcher and feature writer with access to various official sources, I'm well aware of the relevant copyright/IP issues, acceptable use & its enforcement. Pse give me a satisfactory answer or revert your action soon. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 01:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

At times, one should exercise discretion & follow the 'spirit' & not just the 'letter' on any issues. (See one of the cases I brought up to an Admin previously). The reproduced ST articles were included in the discussion in response by the deletist camp asking for credible third party references earlier. As u are an experienced editor here, I would like to hear from u:
  • On how would u response otherwise as per the context of the discussion earlier?
  • Constructive advice or follow-up in ending this on-going edit warring once & for all for the common good of Wikipedia?
-- Aldwinteo (talk) 02:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Similarly speaking, I'll assume good faith on this case but do appreciate if you could inform the user concerned on their talkpage, instead of removing any content of their discussion first (Pse be mindful of the Law of Karma). Being a member of WP:FACT, I will continue to verify & to provide the necessary extracts (in context or in full) wherever I can, if requested by the community in any such disputes. Moving forward, I hope u can help to monitor the mentioned article, & focus your attention more on the antics of the vandals/trolls/POV pushers instead of bona fide users during your patrols in future. Thank you. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 02:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ima Hogg photo

edit

I assume that image would be considered a work made for hire (i.e. the family commissioned the photograph) which would mean the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from the year of its first publication, or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first. The earliest proof of publication we have is 1984 (Karanacs’ book), which would put us at 2079. Alternatively, creation date of 1890 puts us at 2010. Unless we can find author information or other publishing information, I’m not comfortable assuming it’s PD (although it likely is); we have two years to go.

That does not make his agression right. He is taking out referenced information. Admins are nothing off of the site. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) 19:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Miss Ima"

edit
  Nice job on "Miss Ima"!
To all of the excellent editors who were part of the Karanacs-led collaboration to bring Ima Hogg to featured status, it was a pleasure working with you on such a fine article about a great lady. Thank you so much for your contribution to this fun collaboration.

How was in any way shape or form my creation of the definition of SCILON attacking another person? If you can have a word like nigger on wikipedia, you can have SCILON. I'm black, should I delete that article?? No, because it is the definition of that word without context. Please explain yourself.

Hello, Corvus cornix. You have new messages at Taroaldo's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

That's fair. But WP:DTTR applies both ways. I'm not going to jump through hoops to satisfy someone who isn't being reasonable. Obviously my attempts to engage you in a constructive discussion have been futile, and it's not worth my time to continue.

MassResistance still on 3RR board

edit

Hey Corvus. The 3RR is still open. Do you have an opinion whether the article should be semi-protected? Most IP changes appear to be POV warriors, though not plain vandalism. EdJohnston (talk) 01:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

"upright" for image

edit

The "upright" tag takes into consideration the width and the height of an image rather than just the width, and is designed for images with a "portrait" orientation. You can read about it (but not much more) at WP:EIS. Compare Governor Hogg's image here with this one. — Bellhalla (talk) 03:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Reply


Adminship

edit

I'm seeing the little box on your userpage saying your Not an admin, but I'm not seeing hte box that says you don't want to be one. I've seen you around a bit, you've got a clean log, more edits than me, so I'm wondering if you'd be interested in a nom? If you could give me a day or two to bang out a detailed nom, I think you'd be great with a mop. MBisanz talk 17:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
