Aria Resort & Casino

edit

I'd say swap it out noting in the edit comments that the rewrite was from your sand box. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I changed the wording. I still have an issue on how best to state the size of the complex in sqft. See if the new wording helps. If not feel free to try another pass. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:58, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'm still not happy with the wording. Feel free to change the article and see if anyone else has a better idea. Also, we seem to call them Sky Villas and Sky Suites. Is it both or are these different? One wonders if wording like Aria provides 4,004 rooms which is comprised of nnn Sky Suites, nnn suites and 3,436 standard hotel rooms, could work. Also given the features for the Sky Suites like the separate lobby, private porte-cochère and elevators, should that be a sub heading? Vegaswikian (talk) 01:23, 8 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Diet Pepsi in the Sandbox

edit

The revision looks nice. A couple of quick thoughts though:

  • You don't really need references in the lead, it is supposed to be a summary of the article with the facts found in the article referenced.
  • The lead shouldn't contain information that is not in the body of the article. You have information in the lead, such as mention of the various flavors and naming of the product, that should be move into the body of the article.
  • I believe that About.com is not considered a reliable source, I could be wrong though.
  • BNet.com has allot of good links to multiple business articles from reliable sources for food an beverage related companies such as PepsiCo and Coca-Cola Corp.

Good work on improving the article. --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 18:55, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

The changes look good.   --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 06:01, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
BTW, I looked at the other PepsiCo-related articles in your sandboxes, they are pretty good as well. They also suffer from the points I listed above. I am glad that others such as yourself are taking the time to upgrade those articles that are sorely in need of work. --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 17:09, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Recipe photo

edit

Per your suggestion from Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Everything_Tastes_Better_with_Bacon/archive1#Comments_from_Jeff_Bedford — if you're able to make a recipe from the book and take a free-use photo of that, it'd be most appreciated!!! — Cirt (talk) 18:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps one of these: "Recipes include a sandwich using bacon and other ingredients,[8] a bacon crunch topping for ice cream,[9] a bacon concoction to top a fruit crisp,[4] and a piecrust that incorporates bacon." ?? — Cirt (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
The sandwich using bacon and other ingredients sounds like the one I'll most likely go with. My town library seems to have the book available, so I'll swing by there tomorrow and will do my best to make up a bacon sandwich (or something similar) and add the photo by Wednesday. Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 21:58, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oh wow, you're just great, thank you so much! — Cirt (talk) 04:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Update: My library brought in the book from another branch, so I'll be picking it up this evening, and will make the recipe/upload the photo on Thursday. Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 13:57, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
For bacon's sake! Unfortunately the person who has this book checked out is late in returning it to the library, so I won't be picking it up until tomorrow (Sat). I know that there is no deadline, but I wanted to let you know that I haven't fallen asleep at the wheel over here! Will be sure to take the photo this weekend.

This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts.

There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

COI

edit

Jeff, It sounds like you are doing a good job, particularly with proposing changes on the talk page and getting feedback from other editors. The only way you could be more transparent is to make your COI declaration a little less mixed in with the rest of your user info. Maybe note it in bold or make a separate section for it. You could also adjust youf WP:SIGNATURE if you wanted to read: Jeff Bedford (COI declaration), as some other editors have done. Would you be interested in receiving training, membership, and/or certification in COI editing? I have a few ideas involving a COI editor school, a COI WikiProject, or COI qualification for editors who agree to follow best practices in this area. You might also check out:

Otherwise, it looks like you're doing a good job. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Ocaasi t | c 15:21, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to reply so late, but I wasn't sure if I should reply to my own talk page to keep the discussion thread together, or here where you'd see it. I've pasted the reply from my talk page below.-- Howdy Jeff, I don't have any plans to edit the Bedford page, so have at it. I don't actually edit much, I just watch a few pages and every few months when I'm bored I look at what updates were added. I tripped over Bedford and thought I'd add a short bit because I was just home for a visit.

PepsiCo

Thanks Jeff, take a look at the Talk:PepsiCo/GA1 page, I made two suggestions that the nom never acted on. After that. We can move forward. PS, you lived in Bedford, did you ever go to the Burger King in Burlington? I used to be a manager there. --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 19:22, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hey Jeff, I want to finish this GA, It can make it as it stands now, but there are some minor tweaks that need to be made. Are you willing to help finish this? --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 19:47, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Jeff, I believe that logo doesn't not qualify as a being eligible for copyright protection because it is just letters and words. You might want to check, it can probably be moved to commons as such. --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 07:14, 16 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the tidbit--I think (but am not absolutely positive) that this falls in a bit of a gray area. In the past when I uploaded a photo of product packaging (actually it was a mountain dew bottle) to Commons, it was deleted from there since it was deemed to contain non-free content. Do you think it is fine to just leave the image where it is? Jeff Bedford (talk) 16:40, 16 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
It's a pain in the rear, but since non-free images aren't allowed in the user space, I just wait until the article is ready before uploading protected images. King4057 (talk) 17:37, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Re: Gatorade

edit
It was not until the mid and late 1990s that Gatorade beverages became available in a broader range of flavor variations. Among these initial flavor extensions were Watermelon, introduced in 1995, and Cherry Rush, Strawberry Kiwi, and M'mmmandarina flavors, added in 1996.

M'mmmandarina? I've never heard of it. I checked out your cited source and found nothing. Do you have more information? Viriditas (talk) 09:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, good question. I accessed the cited source (Gale Group int'l directory of company histories) at my local library, so I don't have immediate access to it, but since you checked it and found nothing, perhaps I made a mistake there. I did some additional digging, and that product was called "Mandarina" (not "M'mmmandarina"). According to this textbook and the First in Thirst book written by Darren Rovell, the "Mandarina" flavor was "an orange-flavored drink...sold only in areas with large Hispanic populations."
I can't determine when exactly that flavor came out, but at least that confirms the name and background. Does that cover what you were looking for? Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 15:25, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that helps, and it makes sense. Could you fix the text (you originally added it) in the Gatorade article when you have some free time and add the refs? Thanks for clearing this up. Viriditas (talk) 00:19, 20 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hey there Viriditas, while I would normally go ahead and make a small change of this nature, I do have a conflict of interest related to Gatorade, as PepsiCo has at times been a client of my employer. This may sound silly for a small edit, but in order to best align with WP:COI, I am trying to refrain from making direct edits to articles when I have a conflict of interest. Given this, would you be willing to make this change (as an uninvolved editor)? Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 15:47, 9 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
No worries, but I was already aware of this when I brought the issue up with you, so no real revelation here. I'm pretty familiar with the COI guideline, and I don't see a problem with you editing the article to correct an obvious error. In case you are worried, please use the talk page first to ask if anyone has a problem with you correcting an error. Viriditas (talk) 09:55, 11 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your input. I just made a minor edit to the article to fix the spelling of Mandarina and add the citations that back this up. You can see the change here. Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 17:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wikimania

edit

Hi Jeff, I wanted to let you know the direction of the Wikimania panel changed based on some feedback from other editors and is now on COI & neutrality in general, including various forms of paid editing.

See here. I still have a slot there for CREWE, but the other panelists will be representing other forms of COI through WMF affiliates and the type of COI/bias from volunteer editors. King4057 (talk) 01:18, 13 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi David, I like the direction you've taken with this revised format. I did post a note to CREWE (viewable here) and it generated some solid interest in the panel. That said, the discussion petered out without anyone discussing my direct participation in the panel. In the interest of brevity, I remain interested in filling your open slot on the panel, and feel I have a unique perspective to contribute as someone who has been involved in ethical, fully disclosed Wikipedia-related consulting within an agency setting for a few years now (since 2010). What are your thoughts? Jeff Bedford (talk) 17:49, 14 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Seems like the tone in there is getting more argumentative, but I am pleased to see volunteer Wikipedia editors voicing the same concerns I've seen here on Wikipedia and the same ones I was censored for.
Can you note specifically that the call to action is for CREWE to discuss if they want to nominate a CREWE spokesperson for the panel? I don't feel the call to action was particularly clear. If they don't nominate someone, they will be excluded from the discussion and I will just include "Jeff Bedford from agency XYZ." It seems like the discussion was more about whether they even want to bother to address the Wikipedia community in a public forum, which is awfully disappointing. We'll see.

edit

Hi there Jeff Bedford! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?

If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?

First off, go here and add {{Tick}} ( Y) next to your name if you're still part of the project.

Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.

You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

An exciting month of wiki events!

edit

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon

edit

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sierra Mist Natural 12-pack cans packaging.jpg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Sierra Mist Natural 12-pack cans packaging.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:Sierra Mist Natural 12-pack cans packaging.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sierra Mist Natural 12-pack cans packaging.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
