Virgin Killer

Part of what was discussed about U.S. child pornography laws is correct. See the U.S. Code here. Sexually explicit conduct requires "graphic or simulated lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person."

To be fair, I will relist the IFD and let the interested party know so they can participate in the discussion. -Regards Nv8200p talk 03:08, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Matrikas

I read about you in Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/List_of_reviewers#Philosophy_and_religion with Interests everything. Would you please review GA nominee: Matrikas. The article is about an ancient group of Hindu goddessess. I wanted non-Hindu to review it as a more unbiased review can be held and as I wanted to know if the article may be confusing to non-Hindus. Thanks.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 13:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Dear Van, Thank you for your confidence and your support in my recent RfA. Words nor pictures can express my heartfelt appreciation at the confidence the community has shown me. I am both heartened and humbled by this confidence. I will carry the lessons learned from the constructive criticism I have received with me as I edit Wikipedia, and heed those lessons. Special thanks to Pedro and Henrik as nominators. Special thanks to Rudget who wanted to. A very special thanks to Moonriddengirl for her eloquence.

Wagiman language

I was inspired by your example to do some GA reviews myself. The first two were fairly straightforward, by experienced GA/FA editors in areas I know, so I'm trying something meatier with Wagiman language. I could do with just two bits of advice:

1. I don't like the referencing style that's used (in-line to short title, plus bibliography with long ref, but I can't find anything that actually says it's wrong.
2. There are a lot of red-links, some of which must be fixed, but most are to other obscure Australian languages, which cannot be easily addressed. Is there any guidance on this?

Thanks for any help you can give on these two points, no great rush since there are other issues anyway. Jimfbleak 15:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter for December 2007

The December 2007 issue of the WikiProject Good Articles newsletter has been published. Comments are welcome on this, as well as suggestions or offers of assistance for the January 2008 issue. Dr. Cash 01:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

sorry

I apologize for my behavior regarding the Mobutu Sese Seko article. I was rude for no reason other than you tripped over some personally-held opinions, which you would have had no reason to be aware of. Your behavior, in contrast, was both calm and forward-looking. - BanyanTree 22:17, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to GA Sweeps

I would like to invite you to participate at GA Sweeps. We decided it's time to give GA a good sweep to ensure the qualities of all GA articles. You recevied this invitation because we felt that you can improve and uphold the quality of Good articles (especially thanks to the # of reviews you reviewed as well as receiving GAN reviewer of the week). This is the reason why only experienced reviewers who are established (trusted) within the project should participate in this sweep initially. Please take a look at the project page to learn more about the process.

In your message on my talk page, your heading also included "newsletter". I don't know if you're interested in contributing. We're certainly looking for ideas because it will get boring if we repeat talking about the GAN backlog and Sweeps every month. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 23:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

You also need to sign up a category in the sweep list. We will be using this edit version for sweeping because GAs are constantly being added or removed daily. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

For those that are on the list in the edit version, but removed prior to you sweeping, just indicate on that article's talk page that you went to this article and found out it is already demoted. For those that are promoted to FA, just ignore. But remember to state your findings under "exempt" section in your running total, NOT "keep" or "delist". OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

knock knock! a post-it note

Hi VanTucky,

It's been two weeks since you placed the "under review" tag for Punana leo on the WP:GAN page. If you're tied up with other things & wanna let someone else do it, that's OK. Or if you wanna go ahead and do it yourself, then of course that's good too. I'm just leaving you this post-it note as a reminder, just in case you forgot about it... Thanks! :-) Ling.Nut (talk) 09:39, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Witch hunt

Awwww vantucky, you are one of my favorite editors in wiki, did i ever told you that? i always read your GA reviews, really; but "Yamanbaiia's absurd and libelous witch hunt" ? this really made me laugh, if i ever start a band i now have a name. Just wanted to tell you that it was not my crusade but User:Dbuckner's; i opposed, left my reason, reply to one comment and that's it. Dbuckner went for the whole full monty making legal threats and leaving comments at the supporters talk pages. "Grow up"? er...because i saw a reason good enough for me to oppose? whatever, totally uncivil and uncalled-for. I guess we will never be GA-BFF now. -Yamanbaiia (talk) 21:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Nein, my feelings are fine. I don't know who Durova is and i hardly ever participate in the RFA process, and if i were to participate in your future RFA well...were there any animals involved in your edits at the anal sex article? i suspect not, besides it's not just a "he edit in that article" thing, but some OR diffs provided by Dbuckner that were nasty. Whatever, i'm taking a break -Yamanbaiia (talk) 23:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack and Pūnana Leo

Hi. I noticed that the above articles have been labeled "under review" for some time now. Might I suggest that you either pass, fail, place the articles on hold or remove the tag so that others may review them? (Sorry for the generic message VT, I'm really lazy today) Cheers, CP 00:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

A great entry at Domestic sheep, I think you should be in for a good shout at the prize.

I went over Domestic Sheep a little. I didn't read it all, but I did some cosmetic fixes.

I believe that a book has been took off the list, because some people believe that book was not a fair tale, but will leave others on list that another group believe arn't fairy tale, but will take theres off. Now I don't think I was vandalizing add back the books that where took off i was just putting them back, but if you say I was vandalizing I will stop.

Flock management move to sheep husbandry

Hi Van – Just to say it's a good job I agreed with this move, as blink and you miss it!

Just a gentle whack with a trout

Hey there! Would ya please touch bases on talk pages with any major changes of horse photos before you go switching them around? As we say in my neck of the woods, If it ain't broke and no one is whining, it usually don't need fixing, OK? So far you swapped out a photo of a Belgian for a horse from Belgium that wasn't a Belgian, and then you tossed a well-composed image (and from Commons) of an excellently conformed horse with a photo of someone's ungroomed, toed-out pasture pet, complete with plastic feed tub in the back and actually mislabeled for color (both photos are of grays)! Yowsa man! 0 for 2! <grin> Seriously, I'm not being mean: I'm not going to be messing with your sheep article (which is getting better all the time), I made barely a peep when you made some significant improvements in the images used for donkey, and you didn't hear one word from me when you tossed a photo of mine that was in cattle (because the replacement WAS in fact better). You can be a really good collaborator and have a keen eye for what articles need, but we need to keep you in training wheels when it comes to picking horse photography! <grin, again> (though you DID find some dandy mare and foal images that one time, for which I thank you). Just giving you a mild amount of crap, and hang in there, but maybe help us FIND the images, because you are the underappreciated master of finding stuff in commons (god, I wish it was better organized over there) but leave final selection to the horse experts? Hmmm? Pretty please? With maple sugar on top?? Montanabw^(talk) 07:21, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, boldness is good, me fine laddie, but sometimes it gets reverted! <LOL!> Montanabw^(talk) 07:27, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, you don't have to appreciate my attitude, but when a photo is also mislabeled as being a "white" horse when it's actually a gray, well, that was yet another problem. I monitor about 500 horse articles on my watchlist and have better things to do with my time than revert well-intentioned but unhelpful edits from people who should know better. It didn't itch, so why the hell scratch it? And this time I was trying to make a few jokes and be lighthearted instead of being my usual snarky self, so give me a break, OK? So my EQ sucks, I was trying to throw you a bone. I'm old enough to be your mother, sorry that I sounded like one. Montanabw^(talk) 07:43, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like we have a truce, thanks. My point about the donkey and cattle pages was just to show that I don't revert things just because I am some sort of evil control freak who hates change (I'm merely impatient, anal-retentive, and prone to sarcasm <grin>). I just wanted to illlustrate that I am perfectly capable of accepting constructive changes when they are for the better, even when it involves someone tossing my own contributions, and wanted to point out some examples to prove it, that's all. Anyway, hope you had a good Christmas. Montanabw^(talk) 06:13, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Matrikas

You added the review tag to the Matrikas article 28 days ago and yet no review has been done.... M3tal H3ad (talk) 07:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

If you have an interest in an article that needs work...

VT, take a look at Gypsy Vanner horse. If you are looking for a horse article that is more than a stub but desperately needs some help, this is one. If you read the talk page, you will see that there have been some pretty fierce POV discussions. Anyway, I've noticed that you seem to like digging into articles with some meat on them, so maybe this is one for you. It needs cleanup from someone who can keep a POV totally out of it, and you fit that bill. Montanabw^(talk) 09:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, also, consider this an invite to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Equine and Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse breeds. My watchlist now stands at over 700 articles, all on horses, at least 200 of them stubs, I think. (see also Category:Horse stubs) The scope of organization needed is beginning to sort of boggle my mind. Montanabw^(talk) 09:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey

I picked your name out of the GA quality task force list because I've seen your name around other stuff I've worked on. I was curious if you'd be into giving Yavapai people a look through, and let me know if you think it is close to GA quality, and what could be done to get it up there. A couple times I tried to get a rating from someone at the Indigenous Peoples project, but with no reply. You up for it? Murderbike (talk) 01:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's great. I was actually just looking at it, it had been a long time. Murderbike (talk) 01:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Footnotes

Hi VanTucky,

Happy New Year! Last week, you commented on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Red-winged Fairy-wren, with part of your note stating "To my knowledge, footnote citations always go outside punctuation at the end of the sentence, never within. If there are multiple cites, simply place them both there. Places where this occurs (such as in Taxonomy, Description, Diet, and Distribution and habitat) need to be fixed. Citations in the middle of the sentence looks messy and unprofessional." This of course is not correct. As I was not active at the time of the FAC, I didn't notice until user:Casliber had already switched out all the references, at your suggestion, because you told him they "need[ed] to be fixed".

The appropriate guideline is at Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Where_to_place_ref_tags. The guideline makes it clear: "Some words, phrases or facts must be referenced mid-sentence, while others are referenced at the end. Frequently, a reference tag will coincide with punctuation and many editors put the reference tags after punctuation (except dashes), as is recommended by the Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS)." Footnotes generally follow punctuation, but not necessarily a period. I'm letting you know so that if you are "correcting" these, you'll stop. :) Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 02:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I really can't speak for Calisber, but I disagree with your characterization of what is ideal for FA. FAs are supposed to be written to a professional standard, and if you tried to stick citations in the middle of a published sentence it would be reflexively corrected by copyeditors. It does look and read sloppy, which is why it isn't done in print. Guidelines technically allow it, but they do not necessarily recommend it. You are welcome to disagree, and can keep it the whatever way you like (I don't particularly care). But to characterize my position as being wrong as a matter "of course" doesn't feel exactly civil. VanTucky ^talk 05:20, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Van, you're wrong. It is done in print (unlike what you state immediately above), they do not "always" go outside of punctuation (which is what you clearly stated on the FAC), and the guidelines not only "allow" it, they require it: "Some words, phrases or facts must be referenced mid-sentence". There's nothing uncivil about leaving someone a note when he is wrong. Telling someone he is wrong when he has stated the exact opposite of the guideline is not being uncivil. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 05:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Peer review notice

1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack is on Peer Review. Your comments would be appreciated, at Wikipedia:Peer review/1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack. Thanks for doing the WP:GA Review. As you were the GA Review, if you wanted to elaborate on the Peer Review page why the article satisfies all the GA Criteria, that would be helpful, as would any other feedback you'd like to provide on how to further improve the quality of the article.

Yellow sheep

Hi I saw your edit summary on the Black sheep article where you doubted the color yellow of sheep. I don't mind that you removed the many colors claim. But there are blond/yellow sheep. See here. I'm not arguing with you, but being playful in this post. I don't want you to take it the wrong way since it's difficult to communicate lightheartedness over the internet. I was trying to add content to the article since it was so small, and a lot of people assume there is only one color of sheep with the "occassional" black one. Maybe I should have written "light tan" or "blonde" rather than pale yellow? Would it have stayed then? :-} → GeeAlice ♥ 17:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome. (No, I was never welcomed before). While I understand the Black sheep article is about the term as an idiom, I thought it was interesting to include that there are many color variations (I'm a teacher, so it was part instinct to attempt to lead others to exploration), but I understand staying on topic is best (from your link). I'm glad to see that you added the color variation in the main article of domestic sheep. Thanks! → GeeAlice ♥ 20:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear VanTucky, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget. 15:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
