Re: Dispute Resolution

Try this for more general info on resolving disputes at wikipedia: Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. There's a LOT of reading there, especial see the infobox on the side. In most cases, WP:RFC is enough. In general, bringing in outside opinion as early as possible is the best idea. If people uninvolved in a dispute clearly show a consensus supporting one side, it is easier for admins to make decisions regarding sanctions, should it come to that. Good luck, and if there is ANYTHING else I can do, let me know. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 17:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Not sure how to procede myself. Try Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets and possibly Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser. A checkuser is usually needed to establish if sockpupetry is going on. It clearly seems like he is using alternate accounts to evade a block. I am a fairly new admin, and a more experienced admin should probably be brought in to help further. Also, another report at WP:ANI may help as well. If I were you, I would start a sockpuppet report, officialy (as above), request a checkuser (as above) and then file the ANI report requesting further help. I will do what I can as well to help where needed. If you need anything else, let me know... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 23:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately, vandalism is not the only problem admins must deal with. Being disruptive is a much bigger concern, as you have found out... :). Anyhoo, good luck and all. Again, if anything comes up I or anyone else can help with, let us know. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Andrea Boccelli

Weirdness. Some of them appear to be unrelated, for example the Pantaloons guy. Others seem to be intentionally burying some questionable edits in amongst rather inoccuous spelling fixes. This is weird. I am going to bring in some more admins on this one. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

(earlier comments redacted). The issue was closed as it was determined that there was most likely no connection. In the interest of avoiding besmirching the name of what appears to be a decent editor, I have removed the links to the discussion that was formerly here. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 17:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Bocelli: opera or popera

I don't know what you are implying by your latest comment to my page. It seems almost to imply that I was the anon IP from 8+ months ago. In any case, popera and operatic pop apparently link to the same article so it is irrelevant which term you use. Second, it doesn't matter if someone used an anon IP even for one contribution. Furthermore, quite some time has past and quite a few unique contributors have added to the article since then and none have removed Bocelli. None of them have seen his inclusion (quite correctly) as raising an eyebrow. Belcanti (talk) 05:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S. the person who changed popera to opera is fine with operatic pop as a compromise. If you're interested, here's a mainstream article referring to Bocelli as the king of popera. (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/08/27/1093518069667.html) Belcanti (talk) 05:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Andrea Bocelli

Hi Tangerines, I'd be happy to check over the article improvements. There's an essay you might want to look at here, Wikipedia:Criticism my chief concern is that its so easy to highlight and source criticism in the media that it can give it undue weight. If you want to achieve a npov you have to highlight and source the praise of the several million people who don't get paid to write a newspaper column and are happy to overlook flaws in individual performances. Mighty Antar (talk) 01:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tangerines and thanks for your feedback on my page. I'm fine with the opera vs popera matter as currently settled. I'm noticing you're doing a major revamp of the Bocelli article, with which I'm fine, especially seeing how it could benefit from a major reorganization of content. The thing I noticed is that you're planning on qualifying the "criticism" section, something to which I've contributed significantly. The criticism section as it is, does not seem out of line with criticism sections on other wikipedia pages (e.g. An Inconvenient Truth). The thing with Bocelli is that generally speaking he is widely admired by the public but is equally unpopular with music critics. It really is quite polarized, even more so than say Anna Netrebko who has more than the usual share of music critics against her especially when it comes to matters of taste and style, but unlike with Bocelli, she does have a fair number of music critics in her camp. Given that, the criticism section seems appropriate to me. The thing is the criticism is restricted to its appropriate section and is not the pervading tone of the entire Bocelli article which makes clear his popularity and importance as a popular phenomenon. You mentioned there being unsourced sections of criticism, but I've not noticed any myself. If you do feel there is too much critical opinion and not enough popular opinion, perhaps you could address this imbalance by noting his popularity in the main body of the article. If on the other hand, you do decide to make notable alterations to the criticism section, would you mind passing the changes through me first so as to reduce the risk of recurrence of what happened with opera vs popera? Incidentally, operatic pop should not be capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence. Belcanti (talk) 16:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps of interest to you, here is an article that illustrates the point that Bocelli is literally speaking not an opera singer, as well as demonstrating that the contrast of opinion held by those in the opera/music industry (predominantly critical) and the popular opinion (overwhelmingly favorable) [1]. The mistake of labeling Bocelli an opera singer may be akin to the tendency for people unfamiliar with opera to think The Phantom of the Opera is an opera, where in fact it is a musical. Belcanti (talk) 17:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I will wait to see the finished product. In the meantime, there are a few minor tweaks, more style than anything else, that I would suggest. Usually composers, at least the famous ones, are referred to by last name only (e.g., Rossini, Puccini, Verdi etc.). So you might want to remove the first names the several times they appear. Belcanti (talk) 17:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

True, given this is likely an audience less familiar with opera, your reasoning for the inclusion of first names makes sense. Belcanti (talk) 17:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note and for expanding the criticism section in particular. I really appreciate you keeping me in the loop with the edits and I think it looks great, certainly much better than the jumbled mess it was before. I also agree with the idea of full name upon first mention and surname after. That sound sensible and I will make the appropriate changes. I also noticed a couple things that I'm going to change, but thought I should let you know as well. First, I'm thinking of taking out the part in the early life section that mentions his wife and children to avoid redundancy since that is also covered in more detail in the personal life section. The second thing is that a couple things you referenced in the criticism section look like they came from letters to the editor (of the New York Times), which are actually opinion letters that could be submitted by any reader of the NY Times including you and me. I'm thinking it would be better to remove these references for this reason. That's pretty much it. I know you're already done with the edits but I noticed you probably had a hard time accessing my previous link I sent to you so here it is again in a better format in case you're still interested: http://www.nysun.com/article/39307. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Belcanti (talkcontribs) 03:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've finished the last of my edits. I think I've managed to catch all the little stylistic things. The last thing I haven't touched is the discography. Full opera recordings aren't really called "albums". That's mainly a pop term. If it's a CD of a bunch of opera excerpts I think it can appropriately be called an album, but I think if it a complete opera recording, it's just an opera recording. It's more a matter of wording than anything else. If you think this is worth reflecting in the article, we can create a separate subsection in the discography section called something like "Operas" or "Opera Recordings." If you think this will cause too much confusion then it might be easier to leave it as is. I'll let you make the call on this one. Belcanti (talk) 03:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello again. Just wanted you to know I've updated the discography section with a new opera subsection based on our discussions. Belcanti (talk) 02:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

re List of hooligan firms

If it appears that there are many accounts being created to insert that vandal edit then I suggest that the matter needs raising at Admin's Noticeboard/Incidents since it may be that QPRJack will have to be indef blocked as a puppetmaster, the article protected for a few days, socks sought out and blocked and the username board be warned regarding any new account involving the use of the initials QPR. On the good side is that the semi-protect has forced this editor (although it may also involve some mates, etc.) to use throwaway accounts to vandalise.

Do you want to do the report? I will if you wish. In the meantime I will block the latest rash of SPA's. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)(Update) Both latest SPA's were blocked before my reply; one by another admins and one by (cough) me.

Simon Dormandy etc

Hey - Thanks (I think) for cleaning up some of the pages I have edited/created. However, why have you removed the dates of the first performance on Simon Dormandy? You stated that " They aren't needed anyway" - nothing is NEEDED, surely, but they were there for information - surely the detail is a good thing? With Sarah Lawson (producer) - kind of frustrating, actually, because I liked the formatting for the filmography etc. Now the image doesn't really fit in... perhaps you're right... Anyway, tell me what you think. User talk:Adaircairell 14:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey - Ok, read that, will read quoted articles. V informative - thanks.

Love what you've done with the F Aida article! I'm actually building up a personal database on my computer on them, and I did indeed have that article (the intreview). You have cleaned it up v well - thanks! UPDATE:

Perhaps we should add a "Fascinating Aida:Members' History" page, or words to that effect, where we can redirect the members (except for Dillie Keane, who has a lengthy page already) to that page: For example, do sub-headings per person, give them F.A. history and a mini-bio of other work...

That was quick work! The article looks much better now. But you may want to check the details of the 2007 planning application you mention for Presse Hall. Do you mean Preese Hall Farm? Is this really noteable? Should it really be located under Weeton Barracks? Is there any public web link? Are you sure it has anything to do with the remains of the windmill, which you give as the reference? Regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Will have a look at the co-ordinates, which I guess should be for the village green. Not sure you'd get away with a single planning application as a notable item on any other article page. Far more notable was the sale last year of the largest part of the prize-winning Weeton Holstein milking herd from Preese Hall Farm: this had been in existence for four generations, on one of the Flyde's oldest working farms and there are plenty of verifiable web links.

CamTran

For the CamTran article, I did not mean to remove anything that you edited, and I apologize for the fact that I did. Basically when I first found the article, it was said to be an advertisement, which I thought I got the out of there by making the article more of an actual history. I did the 5x ' because that's what the first editor had used, but I see your point now. When I added the phone numbers, I did not realize that it was making for of an advertisement, I just thought it was making it more informational, but now I see your point, it does make it sound more like an advertisement.

I was adding more information when you were editing, so I hit my back button, that's probably what actually readdeed the information that you removed. So again, I apologize for that.

Anyway, yea, I hope to find some other sources on CamTran itself, basically though, a lot of the information, I know myself, because I ride the CamTran every day basically, so I don't know if I can list myself as a source or not.

Would it be a bad idea to add www.wpascanner.com? It has the frequencies for CamTran's radios. I figured in case anyone wants to find their radio frequencies, they had a place to go. I saw you removed the frequencies, so obviously this page is not the place to put the frequencies.

Should I delete the fleet? I'm pretty positive that it's out of date. They bought and got rid of buses in the last 2 years. Also, yes you are right, it doesn't make sense to list the frequencies. At first it did, because I thought of it as like an all information page about CamTran. That's why the Phone Numbers were originally added. That's why I just asked you if I should put a link to them instead, just in case people want to know them, but they aren't important enough to list.

Yeah, you are right. I tried looking at my local newspaper, but only found an article on it's time to ride the bus because of gas, and selling aging buses, but hopefully I will run in to something. You probably can't use pics from their site or any other site due to copyright right? RedPenguin2 (talk) 03:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: KGS

It was my understanding that Wikipedia requires input from enthusiatic individuals in order to make the pages enjoyable for everyone. You have policed this page - removing most the new content, which I might add was fact, and left the page looking bare under the headings. I'm happy to spend time on the page adding, in your words 'weasel wording', but I am disappointed to see that it has just been axed at the drop of a hat. I can see that it may have looked like an advert for the school but in compariosn to other school pages, e.g. Rossall, or Stoneyhurst, that was nothing.

Getcha worm-lids heeyar! Only a fiver, guv'nor! One thing, is this an indef block or an indef ban? The two are different. I don't see JackQPR on the list of banned users. A ban can result from continued disruptive edits on another account; TBH I don't see that article as particularly disruptive (though only marginally notable). Tonywalton Talk 22:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
That's the essential difference between a block and a ban. A block is on the account, a ban is on the person. (and a lot of people say "ban" when they mean "block). As for working out who is and who isn't sockpuppeting, the reliable source is checkuser. A select group have checkuser permissions - they can see the actual IP address for users. This isn't open to just any admin (myself included). If two usernames swear blind that they're different people but are using the same IP address... Well there you go. But because of privacy concerns a request for checkuser has to be made formally at WP:RFCU, Tonywalton Talk 22:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

PS: Yes, the title has already been changed to 'James Thompson (researcher)'. I believe '… (inventor)' would be more exact. Would you be so kind to edit this for me? Thanks a bunch! Fenimore (talk) 15:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

PPS: Sorry, I am so old school. Still getting used to the Wikipedia Way. Good editing on your part. Fenimore (talk) 21:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

User warnings

Hey, don't forget to use the maintenance text on the speedy templates to warn creators of speedy article candidates. It's only fair! ;-) - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 23:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hooligan firms

I'm a bit unconvinced about that Luton MIGS article too. It's practically all about other firms, and of the sources, most don't mention them directly, and some that do are primary sources. What do you think? Black Kite 17:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's annoying, b/c I can't imagine that this article will ever get into shape. But I think it's worth giving it some time to see. Tb (talk) 19:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I also nominated this page for deletion as it is the second, if not third time, someone has attempted to create a page on this topic. I also nominated the page for deletion the last time and attempted to work with the other creator to no avail. Thought you should know.A little mollusk (talk) 02:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Article about S.Kleiman

Hi,

I couldn't understand why the article about Steven Kleiman was deleted. He is one of the leading algebraic geometers of 20th century, who studied under the direction of Oscar Zariski, the father of the American alegbraic geometry school. In fact, he last his last student. Steven Kleiman is Professor at the Math Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He works in various subfields in algebraic geometry having made seminal contributions in motivic cohomology, intersection theory, moduli theory, etc. There is an article in the wiki about one of his discoveries - Cone of Curves (Kleiman-Mori cone). Also, there is a web page of in the net about a math conference dedicated to his 60th birthday. In MathGeneology Project there is a list of his students, the title of his PhD thesis, etc. In MathSciNet, you can find over 100 scientific articles written by him. I can continue with some other reasons why there should be an article about him, but I think this is more than enough for the moment. Would you please tell me what is the problem.

Article about S.Kleiman

Ok, I understand that. Since this is my first article I don't have any experience. Would you please advise me what I should do in this situation.

Reply to your edit summary

In reply to this edit summary, "What's with all the notability challenges? Apparently, you don't think that parliamentary procedure motions automatically count as notable? They're rather important to the conduct of business" Apparently nothing of the sort, to be honest the notability tag was a mistake as was the footnote tag. We all make mistakes at times and I made them in those tags. However, all the other tags are still perfectly relevant. I was not questioning whether the articles should be created or not, if I was doing then I would have placed a deletion tag on the articles, and not tags to improve the articles.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 03:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about my tone, I'll try to be more chill about that kind of thing in the future... Obuibo Mbstpo (talk) 03:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

'Pool's nosebleed

Do you think you'd be able to find out Blackpool's highest league position during the 1977-78 season (the last time they were in the second tier)? Since they were relegated, I doubt they were in the top half of the table much, so I think it might be worth mentioning this season's accomplishments table-wise. Their highest position this season is 7th (after the opening-day victory at Leicester).[2] (see chart at bottom of page) - Dudesleeper / Talk 13:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

English Democrats Entry

Dear Tangerine - a few months ago, we agreed that you were going to "Look after" the English Democrats Wikapedia Page, to ensure that it had no "Verfication" tags on it.

You have not done any work on this

Why is this ?

We are now approaching a serious Election, and if you can't keep the page update, then please keep off of it.

The fact that you will not use e-mail, is of great concern

If you are serious in your support for English Nationalism then please e-mail Secretary@EngDem.org.

We do not want any "Verfication" tags on this page, as it makes it look untidy and not looked after, it has to be to the same standard as the Conservatives, Labour, or UKIP, or we will find someone else to do the job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.2.97.151 (talk) 21:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
