GraalOnline Article Recreation

I'm unsure of the proper channels to go through about the recreation of the GraalOnline article, but I know you were involved in it's deletion and debates. I was wondering if it would be possible to recreate the GraalOnline article if written by an external editor with no allegiances to either side of the issue? Kevinazite 22:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I intend to. It's always good to meet an administrator that obviously deserves that title. By the way, do you have any idea why people would suddenly start using unbelievable vandalism just because of a minor disagreement? It might just be the shock of suddenly noticing such a thing against me, but it worries and puzzles me.

Requesting administrator assistance on IRC

I am taking these accusations of lack of process for using IRC quite seriously. Whether IRC should or shouldn't be used: the fact is it is used, and not just by me. Instead of debating whether using IRC is against procedure, I've proposed a procedure for when sysops use IRC to listen to Move Requests, which for now I've put on the village pump (policy) page: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Requesting_administrator_assistance_on_IRC. Your feedback is welcome. —Pengo ^{talk · contribs} 00:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:My RfA

I appreciate you pointing out some of my edits, and I just thought I should explain some of them.

1) [1], I thought it was vandalism at first, but the user contacted me on my talk page, and we cleared up the whole issue. I apologized for the warning I gave and such.

2) Dealing with images isn't my strong point, as can be seen with some of the problems that have occurred. Although they were 2 months ago, put into consideration that it was only 2.5 months ago that I uploaded my first few images onto Wikipedia.

3) I know that I lost my temper over a few misunderstandings I had with that editor (I thought he was calling me stupid), and I have made amends with that editor.

4) Those edits are considered fighting? I originally thought it was friend I knew that made that edit, so I took the edit jokingly and such.

5) That edit was a misunderstanding, and I resolved that. I was accidentally talking to the wrong user about that (see first neutral vote).

This RfA has been a really enlightening experience for me. I personally never would have thought that people would think negatively of some of my comments, and I have realized some points that I need to avoid, and some things such as image policy that I need to review over. The RfA ended with a consensus of a promotion, and although you may think badly of me for this, but I just want to assure you that I have learned from my previous mistakes, and I think I can perform well as an admin.

Thanks for your concern, Wknight. You brought attention to some other situations that I should potentially avoid in the future, and I will take that into consideration as admin. If you have any more comments and such, please add a message to my talk page and I'll respond as soon as possible.

Nishkid64's RfA thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA, which closed successfully earlier today with a result of (60/9/4). Although, I encountered a few problems in my RfA, I have peacefully resolved my conflicts and made amends with the people involved. If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free talk to me. I hope I will live up to your expectations. --Nishkid64 22:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

CaCee Cobb deletion

Hello Mr. Knight,

I am relatively new to the whole Wikipedia editing thing, but I have been using it as a reference tool for a long time. I see that the CaCee Cobb article has recently been deleted. I would like to propose undeleting the article.

I came across her name in an article on People Magazine's website. Not knowing who she was, I searched for her on Wikipedia but didn't find an entry. I did however, find the Google-cached Wikipedia entry, which helped me understand who she was and why she was notable. I read the deletion discussion, and while I agree she is a borderline case, I think she should be included for the very reason that I wanted to look her up. I had never heard of her before but found out from People Magazine that she is dating an actor from the TV show "Scrubs". Because I wanted to know if she was notable for anything besides this, I searched for her on Wikipedia. If the page had been there, I would have known that she was Jessica Simpson's assistant and childhood friend who had appeared on numerous episodes of "Newlyweds." She seems to move enough in celebrity circles to warrant an entry. My apologies if this is the wrong location to propose undeletion.

Unity08 Interest?

Hi! You're one of about a dozen wikipedians who have edited Unity08 (which puts you in pretty rarified company :-)) and it occured to me that you might be interested in something in that vein. I don't want to clutter up your talk page but I wanted to let you know about my user page being used to talk about the intersection of wikis and the Unity Movement. Sorry to be a bother, but "a dozen out of hundreds of millions" seemed like a small enough group to think there might be some common interests :-)

Bexley Hall

Apparently you were requested to move Bexley Hall (Seminary) to Bexley Hall creating a primary topic page. I don't think anyone agreed or even maintains there is a clear dominance among the items on Bexley Hall (disambiguation). "Where there is no such clearly dominant usage there is no primary topic page" -WP:D. So shouldn't Bexley Hall (disambiguation) have been moved to Bexley Hall? --J Clear 22:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. --Nishkid64 21:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

One Piece articles

Did you fulfill User:Justyn's move request for Seven Warlords of the Sea to Shichibukai? If so, keep in mind that several people have contested the naming changes.

I learned about this after Justyn told me that Wikipedians in general support what Justyn is doing, and he cited you as an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Justyn#Fish-Men.2FFishmen

WhisperToMe 01:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

WhisperToMe is putting words in my mouth, I never said that Wikipedians in general support what I am doing, I said that I was not the one that moved the page. Here is a link to his talk page ([2])(Justyn 02:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC))

No, it seems like it was your personal opinion to move the page.

Wikipedia:Requested_moves SPECIFICALLY states that it is to be used for uncontroversial moves. User:Geg and I had opposed the moving stuff, so... WhisperToMe 02:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me! I am watching the page, but today I've been away from my computer for longer periods of time than I had anticipated. (Figures.)

Tecmobowl: Sockpuppet

Just look at Tecmobowl (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and his contributions. He has targeted baseball related articles, something CFIF (talk · contribs) has had a run in with TBTA (talk · contribs) who was the unwitting victim of the Spotteddogsdotorg (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) sockpuppet ring thanks to Scott Brown from tvnewstalk.net. TBTA feels he was driven off Wikipedia by Tecmobowl and communicated his suspicion that the user may be part of the sock ring.

Tecmobowl's ëdit styles, types of edits reflect the those of the sock ring, as his reaction to being accused, including denials and anon ip attacks. What has changed is that he did not target CFIF directly with this latest sock, leading me to think that this is most likely a new form of attack from this problematic vandal taking the time to make seemingly good edits, along with many questionable ones, such as claiming links are spam when they are not. I feel that the overt avoiding of CFIF is a move to throw off suspicion, as is his avoiding AFDs. However, the other activities by Tecmobowl, especially the choice of who he attacked and the anon attacks seem to be typical of the Scott Brown/Spotteddogsdotorg sock ring.

Respectfully submitted. TV Newser Tipline 21:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I am getting quite frustrated with this person. He/she refuses to engage in a conversation with me on his talk page about this. He insists on trying to engage others in conversations about me, yet hypocritically reverts my comments on his page. TBTA was not driven off by me. That user made ridiculous edits on Baseball card and refused to make accurate edits. I ended up having to do it for him. I never once attacked you or anything you said until you started this harassment. At that point I told you to go learn to read. I believe there is nothing that will come of this, but I would like to be kept abrest of the topics if they are going to involve me. The pages I have edited are mostly related to Baseball because that's what I am a fan of. Of cours I'm going to react to being accused of this and deny the claims when they are untrue and totally uncalled for. I'm not vandalizing anything. --Tecmobowl 01:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Follow-up

A Coin Off Rims (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been reverting my recent edits, calling them minor.

X in literature watchlist

Thanks for your note about the desirability of having the X in literature articles on people's watchlists. Firstly, I agree with your point that it would be good to have them all "babysat". Secondly, these articles figure highly in the niche I've found for myself on Wikipedia. So, yes, I'd be willing to monitor some of them in my watchlist. Is there any kind of concerted plan to "divvy" them up among a group of editors? --Lini 12:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Images on episode lists

(removed long sentences)

The images on the episode lists improve the article, and the images can idenitfy the key points of the episode, the summary can do that too, but some people like to see whats going on in the episode. Please help me (Yugigx60 17:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC))

IP Block

I noticed the sporadic editing by the user, and that was why I made the initial block of one week. I have changed it to one day now, because I don't want this block to affect other potentially good users from editing on Wikipedia. My reasoning for the initial block was because the edits were so spaced out, and the person had vandalized every few days, and I thought if I blocked them for a week, I could possibly discourage them from contributing negatively to Wikipedia. --Nishkid64 18:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I have a question here. See here. I was about to block that user for maybe a day or two, but not for a whole month like DVD did. Would this be a case in which a long-term block is appropriate because the user has only made bad edits? I would think that is the reason for his decision (and also because the last block was a month long), but I just want to make sure. Thanks for answering my question. --Nishkid64 18:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Entertainers by age upon death

I noticed that you are supportive of the Entertainers by age at death which has recently been deleted. I saved the contents of most of those categories. Should the option to listify them be explored? Q0 20:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure, why not. It would be best if it were sourced and came from some other reliable source's list though. —Wknight94 (talk) 20:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

How should this be done? Should I create some of the lists and/or would you like me to send you the lists? If I were to create one of these lists, would I be at risk of violating a policy of Wikipedia to create a listified version of a recently deleted category? What I have is basically a copy/paste from the categories, so a bit of formating would also be necessary. I guess the way to reference it would be to find sources that indicate the date of birth and death. However, I think there is a good chance that the lists will eventually be deleted, so I'm not sure if it would be worth the hassle of referencing. Q0 20:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Dredging up episode list image issue again

Yugigx60 (talk · contribs) is being persistent on this issue of images on episode list articles. It's my understanding that such usage is not allowed. Some people say no fair use images should be allowed anywhere and some say it should be a free-for-all but I think at least not allowing 150 of them on an episode list article is a good compromise. I think this pretty easily fails #8 of the WP:FUC policy as well as #3. The images are already being used in the articles for the specific episode - using them again in the episode list goes beyond the policy. A few people - User:Ta bu shi da yu for one if I recall - have gone through sports-related articles removing team logos from standings tables, etc. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't really have an opinion on this anymore: I was leaning towards including images before I was aware of the real copyright problems, but now I really don't care; whatever you guys want to do is OK with me. —Mets501 (talk) 01:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Ten Million (baseball player)

I am familiar with both of those naming conventions. I simply used the one outlined here WP:DAB#Disambiguation_links regarding ColdFusion. It's a minor issue to me, so it will just stay this way. Not sure why you went in and put in the time when I said I was in the middle of updating the article but then again, doesn't matter to me. If you feel your version has more merit than mine, please feel free to change it, move it, or whatever. Best of luck. --Tecmobowl 17:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I have used the sandbox before but never for creating full articles. I will start to play around with that though. Thanks for the advice, still learning my way around this place. Hopefully, people like what i put out there. I see your point, I actually use ColdFusion, but did not even think about the space/no space issue. Thanks again for the pointers. --Tecmobowl 18:48, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

World Series

I disagree with your recent reversion of my edit to the World Series article. Finding the list of teams that have never appeared in the WS requires reading the fourth graf, finding the list of eight franchises that have yet to win the WS, then subtracting the three teams identified as having appeared in the series but not won it (Of those eight teams, only three have appeared in the Series: Milwaukee, San Diego, and Houston.) Someone with the question "What teams have never appeared in a World Series?" has to do a little work to find the answer. Putting the list below the table makes it quick and easy, and provides a measure of completeness to that section by listing all 30 teams somewhere. Thanks. | Mr. Darcy talk 03:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Good idea (and nice work on that table). Have a look at what I did and let me know what you think. I took out the 4th graf, moved the never-made-it teams into that table as the last five rows with a comment on their best playoff finish, and moved the drought info and the line on the Yanks to the top of the trivia section. If you have thoughts, maybe you could put them on the article's talk page so that others can comment too. Thanks! | Mr. Darcy talk 15:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Wknight, I'm repeating the following entry I made earlier, thinking it might have got overlooked in the midst of many other notes.

Hi. No, there's no real "plan" as such for divvying up articles. Basically whatever articles you can put on yur watchlist would be an improvement. Unwatched articles is what caused the John Seigenthaler Sr. Wikipedia biography controversy and we don't want a repeat of that. —Wknight94 (talk) 12:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Well then, I'll get things started by taking a century - the 1600's). I'll begin adding them to my watchlist, and monitoring them. One hundred articles may be a lot, but I don't expect a whole lot of new activity in the 1600s articles. If we get a lot more editors involved and want to subdivide into smaller sets to watch, then I'll be glad to do so. --Lini 12:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Infolithium

Fair enough. At the time, there wasn't much of any contribution history to go with, so I opted to AGF and look at it as a collateral damage case. If the user has engaged in the same behaviors, I wouldn't object to (re)blocking as a sock/meatpuppet. If the user continues to be a problem, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether they're brothers or the same person. Apologies for not contacting you; at the time, I thought it might've been more of a hassle to clutter your talk page, but I suppose I should have known better.

WikiProject Baseball

You appear to have invited me to participate. Do I sign in somewhere or just continue to edit baseball-related articles? B00P 21:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello.

Just wanted to ask something about the autoban. It keeps popping back up almost everytime I come on. As the blocking admin, I was wondering if there's some reason for this. Also, as I noticed before I commented, you seem to have some concerns about sockpuppetry with accounts on my IP address. I know that this whole ordeal is rather incriminating, but I am not a sockpuppet of Profilio nor is he a sockpuppet of mine. Sorry if this mess has caused you any problems. And as for the "long, ranting" speech left on my talk page, it's something I wrote after reading personal accounts of multiple users. I know it may be long winded (mostly because it contains the long-winded emails Profilio has sent to you), but the two paragraphs I have written are the real message. Well, this is all looking rather long-winded itself, so I'm going to stop talking. Sorry if this mess has caused you any trouble, Infolithium 21:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Ottawa Lynx

It is confirmed that the Ottawa Lynx are still a team in existance. You have the ability as an administrator to stop the incorrect editing. There is no proof anywhere that this team does not exist and is still in operation. Their schedule is confirmed. They play in the International League. This editing by the user who wants to make this a history page has no grounds, and should be stopped. If there is any doubt, why not call either the International League or the Ottawa Lynx themselves. To allow this person to edit freely, without any justifiaction or proof of his edits, is wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.136.164.35 (talk • contribs) .

"Beltran underperformed at first"

I think the writer meant "Beltran underperformed early in the season". I think the "at first" meant "early on", not "first base". I didn't change back it as I personally don't remember if he was worse earlier in the season.Simon12 03:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Moving of: Sailboat Design & Manufacturing

It seems that you might have discussed this move with the people who are working on this before unilateraly making such a major change.

Please return this article to where it was and let's discuss the alterantives for change.

I don't completeley disagree with the new title, but it may not fit where the article is evolving.

Thanks

Deletion of Santa Cruz Yachts

It appears that you deleted the article Santa Cruz Yachts. Please reinstate. This is part of a series of articles that several authors are working on. This was a work in progress which I began yesterday.

There is a fine line between advertising and objective information. I am not attempting to promote the brand, but it is an extemely fine though very expensive product.

I woudl appreciate some discussion before you make any more radical changes to my hard efforts.

Sincerly.

Thanks.

I see what is going on. I did not realize the problem which is developing.

I hope that what i'm working on is valuable.

I'll try to have things more developed before posting them.

Tecmobowl

If several people are having a problem with Tecmobowl shouldn't his behavior be looked into? He has been removing things from articles that maybe shouldn't have been and is ignoring and deleting warnings. If I read the Wikipedia policies correctly this sort of behavior is vandalism and needs to be dealt with. OBILI ® ± 16:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Stoner rock

• I meant to do it the other day after the latest episode of "18 Speed Tranny" linkspam but must have got sidetracked. You're right, the latest edit wasn't vandalism or link spam (was quite a bizarre edit though, removing part of the intro and affecting the grammar) but in any case the article was intended to be under protection for a little while.

re: Bell Pottinger Group

Personally, I don't care whether the article goes or stays... perhaps those who better understand how businesses are portrayed on Wikipedia will know. It does seem to be a large firm, and the "we're number 1" thing seems to be from PR Week, the major trade magazine for the industry in the UK (even I've heard of it!). So it perhaps is "notable". On the other hand, was was there initially was just a shameless plug, as you said. For a PR firm, pretty clumsy, eh? Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 19:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Your user page vandalised

Requesting comments for Lost episodes

Requesting comments for Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lost/Episode guidelines#Name suffix - a debate over the use of disambiguation titles for episode articles of a TV show when no disambiguation is needed. Although I now agree with the statements you made on Talk:Fire + Water, there is a small group of editors who are trying to push the issue again as apart of a forked episode guideline.

Elonka Dunin Change - why not just DO IT rather than delete questioned passage?

See [6]

Google search order doesn't indicate "popularity" in the way this sentence is claiming. Be more specific saying it comes up first in a Google search if you want

I'm mystified as to why you didn't just edit the more correct indication of Google "popularity" as you addressed (and I agree) rather than just delete the reference of "popularity"? Go ahead and do what you propose ("turns up first in Google search") rather than object and delete. Wikipedia allows users to make changes directly. If you don't like something, why not just change it? - Quartermaster 16:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Chat

(reply) Then how about we talk about something else? I'm actually optimistic that it might lead to better communication and more harmonious editing. We might even end up liking each other, you never know.  :) I've had other editors who I had disputes with on-Wikipedia, but we kept trying to talk in good faith, and eventually figured out a communication style that worked for us. And now, I actually regard them as valued team-mates, because I like that we don't always agree. I think that leads to a more fruitful conversation, than just talking to people who always agree with me. I greatly value the input of mature individuals who show that they're confident enough to be able to express both agreement and disagreement, judging each situation individually. So, how about it? What's the worst that could happen? :) --Elonka 07:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Romanticismlifeandtimes

Hmm. It looked to me like the article's creator had done original research based upon those sources cited at the bottom, given that "romanticismlifeandtimes" returns no Google hits (not the best test, but still should have turned up something if the concept is legit). I do still feel, even after a second reading, that the article lacks context. Perhaps this was intended for the sandbox and accidentally created in mainspace? ergot 19:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:Peer Review for Lee Smith (baseball)

I agree that ES's behavior is unacceptable, but I don't see any particular advantage to changing the one-year ban to a permanent ban. The current ban has been extended about a dozen times and I expect it to be extended many more times.

Your Edit to the Template:AZ-FedRep

Thank you for your edit to the Template:AZ-FedRep. However, since the incoming members of Congress haven't taken their seats in Congress (and won't till around Jan. 2007 or Feb. 2007), I have reverted your edit to the previous version. Since the term of the 109th Congress hasn't ended, I don't think it is necessary to change the template now. However, I am open to including the representative-elects in a seperate section of the template. Jonyyeh 05:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Template editing help

I was thinking that some adjustments could be made to the {{MLB HoF}}, {{Infobox Cooperstown}}, and the {{Infobox baseball player}} templates, but I don't know what the process for suggesting changes to templates is. Ithink the cooperstown box is somewhat unnecessary on pages where the baseball player box has been used. I think the MLB HoF box could be used a lot more, but think it lacks one piece of important information: induction year. Perhaps changing the display text to be: Player Name, inducted in YEAR, is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. What do you think and how do i go about asking for others for their input? I'd be happy to move this discussion to my talk page or some other page where it would be more appropriate. //Tecmobowl 14:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Mediation

I'm still in the process of figuring out what Wikipedia is (after the Comet Halley debacle). I'm reading things in Wikipedia:Simplified_Ruleset like "be bold in your edits", "Ignore all rules if it discourages you from improving Wikipedia" and "Verifyability" which confirm to me that my actions were correct, and "Assume good faith", "Be liberal in what you accept", as well as some astonishing POVs that you have about what an encyclopedia should be which suggest that your actions were incorrect. I'm guessing that the two of us are "done" in terms of trying to sort it out between us, so I'm considering mediation? Chrisobyrne 10:27, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I hope no one minds that I butt in here for a moment, but it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when people start talking about "bad POV". On Wikipedia we want to write articles with a nutreral point of view. This does not mean that we have no point of view, or that we shouldn't have points of view in our own personal feelings. POV is acceptable in discussions on the talk page, suggestions, etc. In other words, the POV issue is about how articles are written, and it's not about anything and everything related to having a point of view. -- Ned Scott 04:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

110th Congress delegation templates

I don't think these templates are really necessary, since they will be duplicating the information presented in the FedRep templates (i.e. Template:MD-FedRep) come January 3.

Deletion of Professor Diane Massam

A page on Diane Massam was deleted and I would like to suggest to have it re-instated. I have read through the lengthy discussion regarding notability and academics and feel that this person does meet notability requirements. Regarding the requirements on the following page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28academics%29

Massam answers affirmatively to the first two criteria as she is often invited internationally to give guest talks in her field (Austronesian Syntax). She has also been invited as a guest professor at Harvard to teach in her field of expertise. Regarding the third criterion, her work on pseudo noun incorporation (admittedly rather obscure) is virtually a required citation for anyone who works in this area or any closely related area. The fourth criterion is represented weakly by Massam; however, she her work is frequently the discussion of other scholars in her field. Her proposal for pseudo noun incorporation was a novel approach to a difficult problem and has since served as a spring board for other researchers in related fields, which, I believe, meets the 5th criterion. Regarding the 6th criterion, Massam has been awarded Full Professorship at her home institution, a honour which is conferred upon a small number of tenured faculty.

Let me briefly mention why I authored this article in the first place. I came across the following site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_linguists

I noticed that many people listed here did not have pages, so I thought it was up to someone who has access to the relevant resources to make pages for people on this list for whom they felt they were qualified to do so.
