Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:57, 6 August 2007

WarthogDemon is currently wikibonked and is operating at a lower edit level than usual. Hitting the wall is a temporary condition, and hopefully he'll stop acting weird and return to normal.

WP:POKE is doing some housecleaning

This notice is to inform you that because many people have added their names to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pokémon#Participants but do not seem to be active, all names are being deleted in an effort to find out who is still truly interested in the project. All you have to do is re-add your name if you'd still like to be considered a member of WP:POKE. Any questions, you can contact me on my talk page. -ΖαππερΝαππερ _Alexandria 17:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey there! Arknascar44 has loved you by placing a heart icon in the top-right corner of your userpage. Don't worry, it's not vandalism, but simply a small way to spread the WikiLove. Remember to pass it on to all your friends by adding {{User:Arknascar44/Love Cabal}} to the top of their pages. Don't forget to add your name here!

My Editor Review

Hello! As I have run into you/worked with you on Misplaced Pages, I was wondering if you would be willing to comment in my editor review. I know you are probably busy with other contributions to the project, but I would greatly appreciate any comments or criticism that you have that could make me a better editor! Thanks very much for your time and consideration, bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 13:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Double the Trouble

I deleted it based on no assertion of notability and the prior AfD. I guess we'll just hvae to watch it until it is appropriately sourceable (if ever). Thanks! -- But|seriously|folks  17:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

And how did I vandalize Palmerston?

I don't think the page should be deleted so I removed the tag. How the heck is that vandalism? I did nothing wrong and you can put the tag back on. Don't do crazy over nothing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.128.226.107 (talk • contribs).

Re: Vertabase Pro

Hi, WP:AFD says in really tiny text that maybe ought to be bigger: "If the article has been nominated for deletion before, use {{subst:afdx}} instead of {{subst:afd1}}. See Template Talk:afdx. This does not include articles that have only had the {{prod}} tag removed." And then on the third step it says to use "PageName (2nd nomination)" instead of just "PageName". I believe this is the proper convention. -- Renesis (talk) 23:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: What to do with the lists

I like the lists - it can be very useful to have a quick summary. I just don't see why we can't have both lists and articles, especially for the major characters and well-written articles, of which Bulbasaur is one. I do agree that many characters won't merit an article, but Bulbasaur certainly isn't in this group. Kind regards, —Celestianpower 22:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Onvia

Hello WarthogDemon, You placed a notability tag on Onvia 2 minutes after the article was created. I just wanted to remind you that all articles start as stubs, and to have a little patience -- if the article's not improved in a day or three, then tag. In the meantime, the article when you tagged it asserted notability (174 employees and publicly traded!) and you didn't even wait to see if the original author was in the middle of editing (which they were). In other words, patience is a virtue for all editors, including new page patrollers :) For the record, I have nothing to do with this article or this editor; I just noticed it on linking from something else. And yes, I have been involved with Misplaced Pages for some time, and leaving articles about non-notable companies up too long hasn't been our downfall yet :) best, -- phoebe/(talk) 16:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: . -WarthogDemon 20:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

re: "Though I'm wondering why 2 minutes is fast to get tagged; many nn-articles get tagged within 1 minute in my experience" --

well, I would say they're all being tagged too fast :) Spam, and purely vanity articles ("john doe is a 16 year old who likes to skateboard") are easy to identify at first glance, but any other sort of notability decision is inherently subjective, ideally relies on a deep knowledge of the subject at hand, and is governed on Misplaced Pages by delicate structures of guidelines, precedent, and common sense. None of these things are necessarily easy to determine in one minute. Also, tagging a good-faith effort for deletion within a minute or two is a sure way to irritate old contributors and drive off new ones; it is by necessity a reasonably rude thing to do. A cleanup tag, even a notability cleanup tag, is perhaps better for many of these speedy cases.

of course, others may (and do!) disagree with me -- but I'm certainly not alone in thinking this, either :) (and note none of this is a commentary on any of your actions; just general thoughts). All best, -- phoebe/(talk) 21:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Zeitgeist

The deleted article was rescued and moved to Wikia, http://www.wikia.com/c:Filmguide:Zeitgeist , so can you put out the word to the Zeitgeist warriors, so they can stop trying to slip it into Misplaced Pages? It has been deemed inappropriate for WP, but it is welcome on Wikia. - Crockspot 19:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Zeitgeist (2)

"Google videos hardly reach the requirements of "notable documentaries." -WarthogDemon 19:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)"

Actually, the first time I saw this movie it was being presented at the University of Michigan. Additionally, I also have a DVD of the documentary, so I continue to assert that this article is at the very least "notable". --Trekerboy 19:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Definition of notable just so we are on the same page . Further, if your DVD of your friend's daughter have a deletion review more than 20,000 words long, then yes, I would argue that it is notable. Also, I highly doubt that the DVD of your friend's daughter has any original content and new ideas, but if it did and a lot of people were interested in it, then yes, it would be notable. --Trekerboy 19:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Prod And Tag

Yes, the prod indicdates my uncertainity of the article. It's a special case. Usually I tag and then prod if the admin declines. Sometimes when I've done both at once the admin declines the speedy because of the prod tag. In this case, I was lazy and did both at the same time. hbdragon88 23:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Tagging of Lilly Arbor Project

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Lilly Arbor Project. I do not think that Lilly Arbor Project fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because this was not in fact a copyvio. While it relied on a single source, i could not find any text actuly copied from that source. Rather all text was rewritten/paraphrased.DES 05:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: . -WarthogDemon 05:28, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of the previous incident. Do note that on Talk:Lilly Arbor Project User:Iupuicees asserts that he has permission from CEES IUPUI (the organization, not the user) to post content from their sites. This may be false, or may be so restricted that the content isn't truly free, but I think that perhaps we need to assume good faith a little more in this particular case. Do you agree?

I got a msg from LHVU on my user talk page. He asks that I review the edits of User:Cees iupui who you had already pointed out to me. He says that if I am satisfied that they are different users, or are the same by making the same mistake (by which i presume he means acting wrongly but in good faith) then he will be happy to unblock, or a should feel free to unblock myself. He did not say anything about the block msg without an actual block on User:Cees iupui. I will look into the matter further, and let both you and LHVU know my views. DES 14:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Music videos

Here's my two cents (and it might be worth asking others, as I am not an expert in such matters) it's not original research to say something exists simply because it doesn't have an online cite. For instance, the plots and other details of movies, particularly obscure ones, often can't be online-cited -- but they do exist, and anyone with access to the DVD or whatever can discover them. I know that for many obscure albums, folks have transcribed data directly off the records themselves. That's not original research. Also I've worked on some articles in which the original sources were either books, or in a foreign language. Again, that's kosher. I think original research in the context of a music video would be things like personal interpretations of the video's meaning or guesses as to the reasoning the band might have chosen to make such a video, etc. Also, plenty of things are unsourced on Misplaced Pages. It only really matters when it is challenged. For instance the article Lampshade provides no sources asserting that lampshades exist, or that they are used as described. If challenged, someone would have to provide sources, but it's highly unlikely that it will be challenged, as these are not controversial assertions. As for your second question, I'm not sure I totally understand. Do you want to create an article about the single and link the video? Or link the video to the article about the album/artist?

I'm pretty sure that a youtube version of a commercially produced music video is a copyright violation, so it just might not be doable. Dina 18:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: . -WarthogDemon 18:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

All you want to say is "this video exists" because you know you have it taped somewhere? I don't think that's a huge issue, unless someone comes back it "rubbish! prove this video exists!" which seems unlikely. Dina 18:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: . -WarthogDemon 19:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Atlanta articles: there seems to be a background, see the author's talk page, and Walfuz's message to him. Some admins, not including myself, see this as making a difference & would be more likely to speedy--I go just by the article as it stands, not the motive I see you've been speedying the other Atlanta articles as A1, which dont think is really right either, but I'll leave to another admin. Personally, I would prod them all instead as no references to support notability.--but if any of them are actually on the Landmarks list, they'll be automatically notable.

Holocausto band

Hi,I believe you marked my article on Holocausto for speedy deletion. I have justified the article on its talk page, I think it deserves to be on[REDACTED] since it was an important part of the 1980s South American thrash metal/Colombian metal scene. The city of Medellin was renouned for several thrash bands, including Holocausto, which all played together. One of the bands, Athanator, is still playing and has achieved worldwide recognition. The guitarist in Athanator was, for a time, a member of Holocausto. Holocausto were not just some old 'garage band' - they played large shows in the city of Medellin and released several albums.

transwiki

You left a comment on my talk page... Just because it doesn't come up in Google doesn't mean it doesn't exist. As for the date - I interpreted that as the article creation date by a newbie rather than the creation date of the word. At any rate, the word doesn't get into Wiktionary without manual curation by an editor; what happens is that it goes into a transwiki log and awaits a person picking it up and completing the transwiki process. So transwikification is not an automatic contamination of Wiktionary. Regards, --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:G4

Well, nothing seems to have happened so I've tagged it as no content (a3). It was deleted as copyvio, and recreated with the hangon tag. What that seemed to suggest was that perhaps a non-copyvio version was being written; sometimes speedy articles (especially copyvios) are deleted and then recreated with different content, which is why G4 doesn't apply to speedies. The reason I replaced hangon with under construction is because I always interpret creating a page with a hangon tag to mean "i'm working on this, don't delete it yet", even though the result is almost always speediable, it's assuming good faith I guess. - Zeibura 23:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedies

I meant to put a prod on them, and Ive just done that. It's usually worth trying--there's a 50% chance that the people realize and don't contest it. Just watchlist and if they do remove the tag, AfD. Frankly, I look at too many to keep track of everything myself & I rely on others--this is wrong of me, but.... (And I was going to mention, yes, you seem to have gotten a little impatient the last week. ) If you want an interesting variation on patrolling, try following one of the subject-oriented new page logs at User:AlexNewArtBot--it will show the ones that get missed in the first round. Lots of missed copyvios in most of them. But even for copyvio, if it's something really important, I stubify & write a note to the author; if it isnt important, it's a clear-cut way to remove it. If they care, they'll rewrite. DGG (talk) 04:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Revert warring (over Ho-Oh)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ho-Oh. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

I protected the page, it's better to protect than to block both of you for silly revert warning. Discuss in talk. Thanks Jaranda 06:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
