E-meter

Hey, I saw your revert on my e-meter edit. I though that the sentence I removed was extraneous and poorly worded.. Daler (talk) 09:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Avoiding contractions

Hi. Basically because it sounds informal, which is the wrong tone for an encyclopedia. See The Misplaced Pages Manual of Style. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 10:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Problem

I have a problem on the other project. --User:Adam.J.W.C. (talk) 11:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi there, I just reverted the worst of it, but you might want to double check to make sure its clean. TRAVELLINGCARI_{Tell me yours} 15:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

No worries. He was a bit touchy about his article being deleted, apparently. Quite mature. He was also on a vandalising spree this morning so I reported him and he's been blocked indef. Good to weed out the vandal only accounts —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travellingcari (talk • contribs) 15:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Bloomfield Hills School District

I removed some of the tags you placed on this article. {{introrewrite}}, {{cleanup}}, and {{expand}} are not really appropriate for stubs. Please reconsider using these tags on stubs in the future are they are really in-actionable for stubs and simply bloat the maintenance categories until someone removes them.--BirgitteSB 15:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

Please do not remove that long section. I added to it, much of what you removed was already there; had been for a long time. As it happens, I am still working on it at this precise moment. If you challenge anything, please tell me which bits, or leave tags on the parts where you would like to see sources and I will do what I can to improve it. Right now, I am still tidying the page and putting some touches to it so please observe this. Thank you. Evlekis (talk) 11:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

If you are still here, I accept that finding sources is a little difficult, but what I am now going to do is go back over the entire section and remove anything which appears POV or written as though to promote certain sentiment. Looking back at what I wrote, I accept that there are a few remarks which I should have checked before I submitted, human instict caused me to save first. You are very welcome to assert yourself or question anything if you are not happy with it, I am happy to cooperate. Evlekis (talk) 11:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

nom

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Historical persecution by Christians (2nd nomination) seems to be the third nomination. cygnis insignis 17:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

The way it was named is my guess, 2nd and second. The template on the article also has a bug that causes the listing to redlink. You might need to get some help from someone who knows about these things, I have never looked into it. Regards, cygnis insignis 18:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nom

Hi Otolemur crassicaudatus, I would suggest you keep the nomination open a little while longer. I really don't see how the article doesn't violate original research policies, and it'd probably be better to see if the wider community agrees... especially given the precedent set by the deletion of the other two "Historical persecution by X" articles. Regards, ITAQALLAH 19:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Reversion of reference requests

What is the reason for reverting my good faith request for references? ✤ JonHarder 19:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand what the problem is with asking an editor to provide the references before jumping to AfD. Can you be more clear? ✤ JonHarder 19:19, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

These are fairly new articles (mostly not BLPs) and I think there are refs out there. Do you believe the articles are better left untagged, and the only appropriate process is AfD? Is it improper to use the "unreferenced" tag in these cases? ✤ JonHarder 19:37, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, no problem. I will probably restore those tags you reverted when I have time (or you can). I generally speedy or prod articles and only AfD as the last resort because it is so involved. ✤ JonHarder 19:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me! I apologise for my forgetfulness. Jump Guru (talk) 22:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Flags

Sorry I reverted your revert on White Eagle Aviation - just to explain my position a user is adding flags to all the airline infoboxes without any concensus, I have brought up the subject at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Airlines for guidance. Thanks MilborneOne (talk) 22:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I have left a note at User talk:Tobibln and invited him to join the discussion at project level, although he appears to be going at great speed adding flags to notice! MilborneOne (talk) 22:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

French communes and references

I think you'll find most information particularly on the smaller settlements will only be in French unfortunately -this is why it is so important that more people are willing to translate on wikipedia. Statistical references are from INSEE -try googling that but it is only a statistical website unfortunately. Many of the communes have their own websites. Perhaps you could try looking at them and try to uinderstand the information given there -or use babel fish to get a rough translation perhaps . I'm gradually working through Yvelines but as I say it will be a gradual thing and not my only area of concentration ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ 22:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Reverts of my edits

Hello. I was just wondering why you had reverted my edits to Ranmoor House and Katy Fox? In the Ranmoor case, the information removed was of no importance - in the Katy Fox case, I removed future spoiler information. In future, please use an edit summary when reverting edits, explaining why you feel it is necessary. Thanks. ~~ 01:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Kitano Station (Tokyo)

Edit summary is not a good place to talk with you. You asked why I was replacing night picture with daytime one in that article.

I understand it is not true that a daytime picture is always better than a night picture, but in this case, I believe the new one, the daytime picture, is better than the previous one, the night picture because it better represents original color of the subject under the daylight. In addition, for this short article, two images are excessive so that I replaced the picture instead of adding one. This is the reason why I tried to replace the picture. I don't want an edit war, so please give your concent or comment to my opinion before I make further edit to that article. --Sushiya (talk) 13:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Mountain Lake (Virginia)

I have rolled back your massive deletion on this article. I believe that the better and customary procedure for an older WP article which has undisputed but undocumented content which need to be improved is to place a WP:sources template, which I have done. This is one of many articles in the scope of WikiProject:Virginia which we are gradually upgrading. I know of nothing in it which is not accurate, we just need to cite sources using the newer WP methods. If you have any specific items you wish to challenge as incorrect, please do so and cite your source, of course. Please contact me on my User Page if you disagree, rather than engaging in an edit war with the article. Thanks, Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia (talk) 13:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Persecution

I have no objection to any article on the persecution of Religion A by Religion B, provided that it is adequately sourced and is significant. Such persecution certainly occured on a substantial scale during the BJP govenment and I hear examples of it continuing. It appears usually to take the form of trying to force Christians to reconvert to Hinduism, and can be extremely violent. Christians are prosecuted for "forced conversions" when conversion is in fact voluntary, whereas Hindus never seem to be prosecuted for attemopting forceably to converty Christians. I refer to India, of course. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Recent Changes

Hi i'm sure you are aware that when you patrol recent changes you should mark them as patrolled. You seem to have forgot on Shift (video games). This saves editors time patrolling articles which have been patrolled already thanks. BigDunc (talk) 20:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Giorgos Markopoulos

• What was the controversial edit I did? User:Odikuas 19:33 11 March 2008
• The fact that the University of Piraeus was called Higher School for Industrial Studies is included in the relevant Misplaced Pages article. All the other information can be found in the external links I list at the end of the page. User:Odikuas 19:37 11 March 2008

Twinkling for instant edits, what's going on here?

I think that a thumbnail size image for this subject Silver line is too small, and I enlarged it slightly. The caption is detailed and there are no other pictures in the article. Before I revert it again, I want you to justify how it is that you are reverting my edit instantly and automatically (twice so far). Looks like an edit war by robot could ensue. Who are you, the Terminator? Weird. Please explain here. JohnClarknew (talk) 22:49, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Ships' pages are handled differently, and the lead depiction is never a thumbnail. See HMS Queen Mary, RMS Queen Elizabeth, RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, RMS Mauretania (1906), etc. & etc. And, BTW, can you keep subject discussion on the same page, so we can all see the thread? To have question and answers on separate pages leads to obscurity, don't you agree? I see you started your contributions just 4 days ago, Otolemur crassicaudatus, and already have made maybe a hundred edits. I respectfully suggest you hang back a bit, and familiarize yourself with the site. And I'm reverting once again, and please stay off my talk page on this subject. JohnClarknew (talk) 12:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Beg pardon, I was wrong, I see that you had archived the past since you signed on last September. JohnClarknew (talk) 12:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Mind holding off a bit, I'm in the middle of a major cleanup. Cheers. NathanLee (talk) 20:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, just trying not to chop so much out of it as to have nothing left. Take a look at the pre-major chop and you'll see what a mess it was. Trying to find if there are any links for any of the stuff. But main thing was to get it looking semi-respectable first. :) NathanLee (talk) 20:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Go for your life, I've done as much digging to try and get references as I can.. Take a look and see what you think. Very poor number of references out there that aren't just chatter on forums. NathanLee (talk) 21:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of slected recordngs box on Madame Butterfly article

Please look at the TALK PAGE and lay out your reasoning rather than just reverting. Viva-Verdi (talk) 18:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

thank you

Thank you for removing the warnings on my talk page. I know that it is good form to provide an edit summary, but I've been replacing {{WikiProject Ballet}} with {{WikiProject Dance|Ballet=yes|nested=yes}} and marking this as a minor edit, which it is. In some cases I have added the latter when the former was not present and in a few rare instances created the talk page where there was none. The other minor edits your Twinkle script has been flagging are equally minor formatting changes, not a word of text. I know it's a bad habit, a wicked thing, to make edits without providing an edit summary, but there's so much work to do and so little time to do it. Thank you again for making your script clever enough to know an incorrigible sinner when it sees one! Robert Greer (talk) 17:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank ya

I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which I'm very glad to say was successful at 81/7/0. Some of the very best that Misplaced Pages has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, here's your very own personal humanoid robot. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 13:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I think I pointed out to you the milhist assesment criteria which are here, I failed this article as it did not meet al of the criteria, it did not have enough inline citations. Hope that helps! Harland1 (/_c) 19:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Whar are you referring to? The info I just added to Palais de justice de Montréal is sourced. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see. You're referring to the merge I did for the sculpture. If you had checked the Talk page, you would see that I was simpy effecting a merge was discussed there as well as at the Canadian Wikipedians' notice board; b) I added the citation needed tags myself.

Academy Award for Best Picture

Are you asking me why? As in, why did I make that edit? I was not sure what your edit summary meant. Please let me know (at my Talk Page). Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 07:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC))

I did not understand this edit. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 07:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

When the edit prior to that edit (which you reference above) was made, I had no idea what the effect of the prior edit was. So, I asked the editor who made the edit. He/She said that it was done by mistake. So, I reverted his/her mistake. This (below) is the conversation between me and the editor. Please reply at my Talk Page. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 07:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC))

Hi. I saw that you edited the Milestones Chart for the Best Picture Academy Award article. You added a notation like "border = 1" or something like that. What exactly does that edit do? I did not notice a difference in the chart at all. Please reply at my Talk Page. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 09:16, 21 March 2008 (UTC))

Sorry about that. I had numerous Misplaced Pages sites open and I accidentally edited it into the wrong post. I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience and I will take better care next time. I'm unsure if I fixed that up or not. Again, sorry about that.Chocaholic29 (talk) 09:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, then I will self-revert. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 07:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

OK. Thanks. Do you have any idea what that command is supposed to do? That "border=1" command. I saw no difference at all in the Chart ...? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 07:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC))

DYK for Crime in Bhutan

On 23 March, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Crime in Bhutan, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Well done! Bencherlite 08:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Utrecht (city)

Could you please be a bit more constructive. I wrote more then half that article and provided ALL the references so far (which IMHO are decent for a B class article). You reverted edits I made just now (this morning). You could at least have the decency to wait more then 10 minutes for me to provide references that make sense. If you think it is not good enough you can always add lack citations tags yourself rather then destroying my work. Arnoutf (talk) 10:31, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

There are different ways to enfore WP:V. Yes, if an edit is WP:NONSENSE it should be removed immediately; if it is insulting it should be removed immediately. However, if it is very very likely there are sources (that are easily found), and there is no harmful information whatsoever (as for example the claim that certain highways connect to a city) you should assumes good faith and not seek conflict. The most constructive way would be to try and find the sources yourself, thus contributing to the atmosphere of co-operation which is the core of Misplaced Pages. If you feel not qualified to find the sources, you migth consider the text, look for statements that are likely to be challenged and mark them with the fact tag (or if you see a whole section such) with the unreferenced tag. You might also consider discussion on the relevant talk page how to take it further.

Removal should be considered the last resource, while it follows the letter of WP:V it goes against the core spirit of the whole of the Misplaced Pages project. Please consider rule 1 in such cases. Thanks Arnoutf (talk) 10:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Please keep in mind that the underconstruction tag is meant for significant changes of a complete article, incremental expansion of a fewsections does not need such a bulky tag. Readers should know that unsourced information is weak. Arnoutf (talk) 11:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Lope de Vega

Hello Otolemur crassicaudatus, I'd like to protest against your recent removal of a large chunk of the text of the Lope de Vega article, with the edit summary "entire article is unsourced", and your subsequent reversion of my "reversion-with the request to you to discuss first". In a quick scan of your talk page above, I see what appear to be similar concerns related to the following articles: Mountain Lake (Virginia), the ? article referred to in the section header "Melbourne shuffle" above; Utrecht (city), Hudson River School, Byzantine Studies? What's up? In the case of Lope de Vega, at least, you have not been deleting newly added questionable text, you deleted longstanding text; yes it needs references, but in my experience on Misplaced Pages, the usual procedure is to seek to add the references yourself, or to tag, not blanket removal of most of the article. Thanks for taking this into consideration. Lini (talk) 12:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Addition of material without providing WP:RS is violation of WP:V and I am aginst any kind of addition of unsourced material. The procedure should be to find reliable sources first, then add information. No matter if the text is longstanding or not, WP:V must be followed. It is better to remove material instead of tagging, if not, then provide reliable sources. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 12:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stop reverting and let's talk

Please stop long enough to talk. - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

If you want me to look up the sub-categorization guidelines, I will. But in general, for cities like this, the main city category and it's sub-cats are much better organized when most, if not all, of the articles are actually well-categorized down in the sub-categories. That's what the heirarchical categorization system of the project allows for. Thus people who want to find things can easily go to the specific sub-cats that they need, instead of having to wade through many misc articles all jumbled together in the main category. I am slowly working down the list of US cities cleaning up their categorization, and it happens to be Atlanta's turn. - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

As for an article like Pace's Ferry, in general articles are not supposed to be in both a category, and a parent/grandparent/etc category of the first one. See Misplaced Pages:Categorization and subcategories for more information. This specific example is already in Category:Atlanta ferries, which is in Category:Transportation in Atlanta, which is in Category:Atlanta, Georgia. Having it also in Category:Atlanta, Georgia is overcategorization, and is clutter on the Category:Atlanta, Georgia category. - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I see you put the media list back in the media category. Are we OK now? Can I resume clearing up the Atlanta category? I'm 3/4 done at this point, though I will certainly not get the category down to zero entries directly in it. Anyway, I'll remain halted for a little while longer (an hour or so) to give you time to voice more concerns. - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, your categorization is OK. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 16:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Blimey! I did not notice this. I created the district articles by clicking the red links in List of cities and towns in Bangladesh. In List of cities and towns in Bangladesh, the word "district" is omitted. If the articles already exists as "X District", then these should be redirected to the "X District" articles. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 16:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Ouch thats rather annoying isn't it!! Can't believe nobody created the redirects. If you want some districts to do, Central African Republic and Sudan need doing.

On assessing articles

Hello! It's the first time anyone has suggested to me that one must be a member of a WikiProject in order to assess an article! Any user can do this, AFAIK. Anyhow, perhaps you did not check out the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Military history/Members carefully. I'm pretty sure I am there, at Nr. 156. Cheers, Cplakidas (talk) 12:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, it is good, concise and well-referenced, but: it is very short and, in relation to its title, very limited. "Science and technology in Nazi Germany" is a title with a very broad scope, not only missiles & aircraft. It should encompass anything from synthetic fuels to radar, and from nuclear research to biology. "Science" in particular is a very broad term, which would also cover the universities under the Nazis, the general attitude of the Nazis towards "intellectualism", and the exodus of German scientists in the 1930s. If you want to limit your scope a bit, I would suggest renaming the article to "Military technology of Nazi Germany", but still, that would cover much much more than is already covered. I suggest using this article as an introduction, listing the various topics, with a brief outline (as is already pretty much done for missiles and aviation), and providing links to dedicated articles, e.g. "German rocket research during World War II". Also, "Aviation research" should cover much more than just the development of jet engines. The Germans were pioneers in air medicine (making tests on concentration camps inmates), ejection seats and much else that has become standard in post-war aviation.

It is within scope, as far as most of the topics in it are military-related, and, let's face it, very little of what the Nazis did was not military-related. ;) Cheers, Cplakidas (talk) 13:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Roman Constitution

You added a tag to my entry on the Constitution of the Roman Republic, which said that it needs to be shortened. I am not sure how to do this without breaking the flow of the article, since the Roman constitution was so interconnected. Do you have any ideas on how to do this?RomanHistorian (talk) 07:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

The article is at present 163 kilobytes long. According Misplaced Pages:Article size, such articles are considered too long. Read Misplaced Pages:Article_size#A_rule_of_thumb. If an article exceeds 100 KB, then the article "almost certainly should be divided up". To maintain wikipedia's standard article size, a length 32 KB is preferred. The article certainly need to be spitted into multiple articles. The History and Origin section should be shortened and the excess information should be mention in a different article. For that, you can create a new article titled History and Origin of the Constitution of the Roman Republic. The Senate section is too long. It should be shortened and details information should be given in the main article Roman Senate. The Executive Branch section is too long. Give information in concise manner and create new article titled The Executive Branch of the Constitution of the Roman Republic where you can give the details. In this way the article can be shortened. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 08:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Currently, the executive branch of the Roman Republic is divided into many different articles, one for each office (consul, tribune ect). What do you suggest be done to reconcile a potential article on the entire executive branch, and the articles on the individual offices?RomanHistorian (talk) 08:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

The Executive Branch section is clearly too long. If there are different articles present, that's fine. But a confined article is needed only for the Executive Branch. Which is why a new article titled The Executive Branch of the Constitution of the Roman Republic can be created and the information in this article should be mentioned in two to three paragraphs.

Why? Because I find that italicising the names of non stations makes the diagrams fractionally easier to read and piping words like and, for and to etc avoids that "black and blue patchy print" effect you can get. Thoughts? Britmax (talk) 18:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Religious violence in India

I noticed that you had contributed a lot to Religious violence in India in a professional WP writing tone. Unfortunately, two users are adding unnecessary long-cruft details in the beginning and spoiling the enhancement of the article. They are only interested in edit warring and not interested in any sort of discussion. I fed up reverting their vandalism and requesting you to solve this issue.

I speedy deleted this article. I just took a brief moment to look past the article into the event itself to check for notability. -- Longhair\ 08:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
