Misplaced Pages

Thanks

Thanks for reverting that misplaced comment or whatever you want to call it on my user page. =) The editor just got indefinitely blocked by another admin. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

no prob, it happens.--ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk|Contribs) 02:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Pokemon

Could you point me in the direction of the discussion that turned most of the Pokemon articles into redirects? Or tell me which policies the Diglett article supposedly violates? Who decides which Pokemon are notable enough to get their own article anyway? I'd like to fight for that Diglett article... I love Diglett and it feels like such a step backward to reduce that whole thing to a redirect. <3 Diglett. TheCoffee (talk) 19:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Though I'm not too familiar with the discussion itself, I believe the conclusion was that nearly all of the individual articles failed wp:note, or wp:fict, or WP:NOT#PLOT, or some combination of those. The discussion is somewhere in the archives of Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Pokémon, sorry I can't be more specific. You can leave a message there and I'm sure someone involved with the project will discuss it with you. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 19:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Human-powered flight move revert

Hey,

You deleted my move of the article, aldough there was a consensus. Please undo it (I wasn't vandalising the article). thanks.

KVDP (talk) 10:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Yea, that was my mistake. I didn't read closely enough. I never thought it was vandalism though. Either way you shouldn't copy and paste to move an article. Read wp:move. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 10:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Propose Move (Human-powered Flight)

I propose moving the article to Human-powered Flight for the following reasons: 1. It's a more accurate description of the subject 2. It would be consistent with the entry for "Human-powered transport" which contains a section "Human-powered aircraft" 3. It is a much more widely used term for the subject as revealed by a Google search

If anyone has any serious objections and valid reasons for not moving please post them here. If not I'll go ahead and move it. Gr8white 03:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I object. The official (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale) description of this subject is manpowered flight. See JMcC 17:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

That site mentions manpowered aircraft but I don't see any reference to man-powered flight, which is the title of this article. In fact ALL the external references (the ones in English) refer to human-powered flight, not man-powered flight. So I don't see that as a valid reason.

In any event, I don't see what bearing the terminology that particular group chooses to use should have on anything else, least of all the title of a Misplaced Pages article. Clearly, the more widely used and accepted terminology is "Human-powered", so why not go with that? Gr8white 19:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

"That particular group" just happens to be the worldwide body for any type of achievement in aviation. They are not just anyone. (Sadly they did not use a hyphen in 'manpowered'.) There are precedents for the less common name being used in Misplaced Pages. Type in 'soccer', the common name in the US, and 'Association football', the correct name, you are redirected to Football (soccer), which no-one calls it by! I suppose I am fighting a rearguard action against the petty PC re-naming of anything with 'man' in it. JMcC 23:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

If there's a rear guard that wants to rename everything with 'man' in it, I'm certainly not a member of it. If there was an established precedent for "Man-powered flight" I'd be totally in favor of retaining the name. I'm suggesting replacing terminology that virtually nobody uses (not even the sporting aviation group mentioned above, which uses "manpowered aircraft") with what almost everyone else does. Not sure why that's considered being "politically correct". Gr8white 21:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I checked the stats. "Manpowered flight" gets 424 hits in Google,"man-powered flight" gets 859 hits (with and without the hyphen), and "human powered flight", gets 24,700. Coincidentally yesterday I read David Crystal's book about the futility of attempts to stop changes in the language, so I have to wave the white flag. Move it if you wish. JMcC 06:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I also agree with gr8white. Please move the article to Human powered aircraft. KVDP (talk) 15:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hovercraft

You recently reverted an edit by User:65.4.103.44 to Hovercraft in which a lot of text was deleted. This was a valid deletion of text that had somehow become duplicated. Bovlb (talk) 01:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. That's why I usually don't warn on the first removal of text. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 01:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the Vandalism

Spanish Haiti

IF you look at the article SavEVe moved the page without bringing it up on the talk page. I'm reverting it because it wasn't talked about. 66.152.198.210 (talk) 08:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

That's fine, but copying and pasting is not the way to move a page back. And talk to SavEVe about it, not me. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 08:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi i actually creating a new article

i didn't understand why you reverted my edit. That Prithvi_missile deserves its own page and i have also mentioned that in discussion page.--Ajay ijn (talk) 14:09, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

My apologies, my revert was a bit hasty. Also, when you're splitting an article from a larger one (in this care Integrated Guided Missile Development Program) wikilink back to the original article in the edit summary. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 14:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure i will link back in the original article. I have to also summarize the content in the original article Ajay ijn (talk) 14:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Please let people use Misplaced Pages for once, do something about all this censoring of 9/11 truth —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.7.182.15 (talk) 13:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

If you disagree about the inclusion of that interview, talk to user:Jacksinterweb about it, not me. I just warned you for attacking him. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 14:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Notenglish

Ah! Good sleuthing. :) I was guessing Norwegian because I found the "Kulturhistorisk museum" in Oslo. I suppose it stands to reason that there's going to be a lot of similar (or same) words in that language group. --Moonriddengirl 15:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, cool. I had a friend once from Sweden, he told me the differences in the Scandinavian languages are only slightly greater than the differences in British and American English.

Racist edits

Obviously the bot was malfunctioning or poorly coded. I have removed the section because it is historically inaccurate and serves only as a racist attack that completely ignores Arab states' involvement and behavior in their deplorable treatment of "Palestinians" as such.

Hint: it's not the State of Israel that has legislation preventing Arabs from the areas that Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq took over in 1948 (area that wasn't even pegged to be part of Israel) from ever holding jobs or becoming citizens of any Arab country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1948remembered (talk • contribs) 16:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The bot has nothing to do with it. Misplaced Pages has ways of doing things. Everyone has a POV and Misplaced Pages needs to be neutral, you don't get to remove a large section that has many references because you disagree with it. You have to take it up on the talk page of the article and discuss it with others. But in the mean time it stays. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 16:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Chile

Do me a favor, then ... at least go and support the move, since I have clearly shown several sources (including the official Gobierno do Chile) that indicate they are municipalities, not communes. Thank you. Rarelibra (talk) 17:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I've added a notice on the communes page, since that's all we need to fix a copy and paste move. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 17:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Copy and Paste moves

Please, stop copying and pasting to move a page. It's against guideline and there are licensing issues when you do so. Read WP:MOVE for more info. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm fixing it, It called Gulf Cup in the UAFA, not Persian Gulf cup. Mussav (talk) 18:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I know, I understand that but it's besides the issue. When you copy and paste move a page you lose the history of that page, and the history needs to be kept for licensing reasons. Read WP:CPMV and WP:MOVE to move them properly. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

So why you didn't Warned User:Shahin.shn? he did all the mess. Mussav (talk) 18:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

His move wasn't done by copying and pasting. He used the move button at the top of the page, which keeps the page histories. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Sunda Kingdom and Sunda kingdom

Dear, I would like to inform you that I am a user who write Sunda kingdom for the first time. I am of an opinion that the tittle must be capitalized, thus I copy the content of "Sunda kingdom" to page "Sunda Kingdom" and redirect the old page to the new one. The content is the same so I think there is no promblem at all.

Sincerely, --Hadiyana (talk) 09:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

The problem is not with your intention. The "K" in kingdom should be capitalized. The problem is in your copying and pasting. Which is not how you move a page and creates issues with the license whenever you do it. The "K" article needs to be deleted temporarily to move the "k" article over the proper way. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

So, would you mind to help me to fix the problem to capitalize the title. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.--Hadiyana (talk) 09:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

The deletion template will get an Admin to come around and do it for us, since I can't do it myself. I'll add it to the Galuh article as well.--ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok. But how long? And, you are an admin but why could't you do it?--Hadiyana (talk) 09:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I'd like to be, but I'm not an Admin. And unfortunately it can take awhile. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

What if deletting the page K by ourselves and then moving the page k by using "move" button in the editing window? Is it possible to do that? --Hadiyana (talk) 09:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Naw, that doesn't work. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'll wait for admins to delete the K pages. Thank you for enlighting discussion. --Hadiyana (talk) 09:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome, I deal with a lot of copy and pasting nowadays. I've asked User:Oxymoron83, who's an admin, to look in on it. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 10:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for causing confusing, but i'm trying to make an edit, but the bot won't let me. i'm moving a large section from Satellite to List of orbits, and it kept reverting me.. it recommended to move it in smaller chunks, so that's what i was doing - now you are about to block me! please understand your mistake.. thanks, 82.6.96.66 (talk) 15:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Copyrights

hi. curious as to the copyright laws you're referring to when you removed my articles. the large one was written 30 yrs ago and the others are short excerpts from books or magazines.

thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Devsdough (talk • contribs)

30 years isn't long enough. I believe it's something like 70 years after the person who created it has died. And any amount of copying excerpts is a copyvio I believe. In any event it wasn't very neutral. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 22:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

reverting my edit

Hello, I'm an employee at OHNY. You recently reverted my edit of the OHNY page, and I'm not sure why. I would appreciate it if you didn't do it again. Thanks.

I reverted your edit because it was a copy and paste from the OHNY website, which is a copyright violation, as well as being WP:NPOV. And if you are an employee of OHNY it's a conflict of interest. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 15:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't see how that could be a copyright violation if we own the copyright. Also its not WP:NPOV or WP:COI because all the information I posted was purely factual and not in any way biased or self-promotional.

If you do work there, that automatically makes it WP:COI, while doesn't necessarily exclude copyright violation. The copyright does belong to one or more people in the company, but not to everyone in it. and what you wrote there isn't verifyable just from the company's web site - does any third party agree? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:38, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand - so other people can edit OHNY's information without getting flagged for COI, but I can't post information which is undoubtedly more accurate simply because I work here and therefore know more about the organization. All I added to the[REDACTED] posting is the mission, history, and core programs, which is available to the general public in any number of OHNY publications. I don't understand why OHNY's mission needs to be verified by a third party - if we wrote it, it is obviously our mission. Do you need written permission from the executive director, because I can gladly provide it. I also don't understand why it is an automatic conflict of interests just because I work here. I am merely trying to expand upon and clarify the information that was already posted. What exactly am I allowed to post? And who posted that original information in the first place? How has their information been verified?

That's just it, this is an encyclopedia, not a place for a company's self-publications. Other editors can be flagged for COI if it's clear that it is so. Even if it is not found as such, all contributions by editors need to be neutral. Now as for your contributions, the mission statement is not encyclopedic even if it is verified by another source and it can be considered advertising. The core programs sections could maybe be kept, if it was rewritten not to be a copy and paste from the website. And the history section absolutely has to have reliable third party sources, or there shouldn't be a section on it. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 21:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Pablo García

Look I'm trying to fix the desambiguation page, so Pablo García would be Pablo García (disambiguation), then Pablo Garcia (footballer) would be Pablo Garcia, all the information will be given on the top of the pages of Pablo García, I would really appreciate your help. Also there's only two Pablo García and Pablo Garcia, the other ones are: Pablo Marcano García and Juan Pablo García, so we olny need to do what I told you before. Please help me finish this. Thanks Rockk3r Talk 12:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

That's fine and all, but there are ways to moving pages around. You just can't cut and paste. Also you may want to read WP:MOS (disambig) to see if what you want fits in that model. I'm not sure exactly what you want, the way I feel it should be is:

• Pablo García (disambiguation) is our top page.
  • Pablo García and Pablo Garcia should redirect to it because not everyone is going to be able to distinguish "í" and "i" and can easily end up at the wrong page.
• Pablo García (footballer) should be about the Uruguayan footballer.
• And the rest should stay where they are at. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I understand what you mean, but when you put on the top of the page, for example, you are on the page Pablo Garcia (which is the footballer) you put on the top: This article is about the Uruguayan footballer for other people with similar name, see
