==Notability and Licensing and Independence and Reliability== | |||
== Headstrong Deluxe is true now! See the source! == | |||
I think we have to accept that any reliable guide to Pokemon will have to be licensed. I think it is evidence of notability in itself that so many different publishers license the intellectual property of Nintendo to write pokemon guides and they are published and apparently sell well. Any detailed article about pokemon would have a legal obligation to be licensed or else it would be in violation of copyright law, which I think would make it unreliable. So I do not think it's legitimate to require books about fictional characters to not be licensed in order to be considered independent 3rd party sources. It is the legal obligation of anyone writing about a copyrighted fictional character to get licensing unless they're writing criticism or parody which would not require it. ] (]) 15:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

* Thanks for your reply, that was very nice. I think I did not fully convey what I meant. I think it's completely possible for a topic to be notable without having parody or critique written about it specifically. This is especially the case for items that are primarily directed at children, who are less likely to be interested in creating criticism. So that if fifteen different authors write about something, even if they are (as adults) not interested in it themselves (which would lead to criticism or parody) but mainly in the money they can make off kids who are interested in the documented minutia of the subject matter (what does it eat, what are its powers, etc), that still estabilishes notability of the subject matter and is independent enough to be consulted for an article even if it is the only source. Since the only reason it is being licensed is that it would be illegal not to, then I do not think the licensing should discount it. ] (]) 15:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
** WP:N says: " "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including (but not limited to): self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc. " and note 5 says: "Works produced by the subject, or those with a strong connection to them, are unlikely to be strong evidence of interest by the world at large. See also: Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest for handling of such situations." This shows that the purpose of independence of sources is to be strong evidence of interest by the world at large. And it is true that a single licensed guide would be hardly any evidence of interest by the world - but you note that "licensed" was not one of the affiliations listed by name, and I believe this is because licensing needs to be taken on a case by case basis as to whether it constitutes affiliation. I therefore think my interpretation is legitimate under the current wording of WP:N. | |||

Hi Kww. Yes, you are quite right to challenge me on this. I made a very quick edit to the STH page andf afterwards thought I may be asked for a ref (following). The reason I chopped the edit was it was preposterous to claim that Page always made three recordings and chose the best one in all his songs. | |||

I don't understand your change.

:I changed it because the image caused the article to have a large ugly-looking white space. This is because the text will only begin again when the picture can be shown on the right side of the article, and that is when the table ends. You probably don't see this because you use a low resolution (800x600 for example), but with a resolution of 1152×864 it looks very ugly. Cure to this phenomenon is to group together images and tables, or to place them lower in the text. ] 15:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC) | |||

== Re. Rename request for Sint Maarten == | |||

Sure. St. Maarten should be allowed to have its recognizable, official name left alone and not transformed into some new, odd, made-for-wikipedia name space entity. But about the song: it was written in English by Father Kemps, a Dutch priest active on the French side and I believe he wrote ''Saint Martin'', you know. At least that's what they put on in 2005. They use ''Sint Maarten'' here: (and the French sing "Saint Martin, Saint Martin, si jolie en tous ses coins!"). But I believe ''Saint Martin'' is also the correct form in Kemp's original version because it's a song meant to inspire pan-island unity and includes the French side. Notice that the wikilink doesn't work as it is. Cheers, ] 08:35, 2 June 2007 (UTC) | |||

Hey, thanks for pointing it out. I wasn't aware that the user had already been listed at WP:AIV, and had added my warning as a last one before a block was necessary. The warning your provided stated further edits ''may'' result in a block, while the one I provided, was a last resort with ''will'' block. Additionally, it looks like the user has stopped editing so a block is not necessary. However, if any additional edits the user has are not constructive, then he would qualify for being blocked. If you see that the user does so, I'd say post it again or WP:AIV or let me know and I'll block him.

I hate to say this because you are doing great work with catching these new non-notable articles... but be careful with the A7 criterion. It is not for all non-notable articles, it is specifically only for non-notable "people, groups, companies and web content." The vast majority of your CSD noms seem to be right on the money, but I found at least a couple where you technically misapplied the criteria because it did not apply to one of those four things. In one case I left the db tag in place anyway as per ], but ] really should not have been CSD'd. | |||

: Hi Kevin, so as background I spent a lot of the first five-six months of 2007 "in the trenches" at AFD and I often came away not very happy about the project. I was never involved in many fiction AFDs, that I can recall. The thing about Bulbasaur is that it always seemed impossible to ''even find'' this sort of article unless you were looking for the information in it. But for reasons that I don't comprehend, these articles instill not just passion but ''rage''. And it spilled over into this horrid war. The highly-partisan notability wars left a very bitter taste in my mouth. TTN could do no wrong. LGRdC could do no right. All the socking made me ill. I remember Jack Merridew was a nice guy to me, even helped me fix up my user page, but when it was revealed he was a sockpuppet, virtually none of the editors who had fought on Jack's side apologized to the editor who exposed the sockpuppetry. The uninvolved admin who brought it to the noticeboards was also savaged without apology, as I recall. (I seem to remember you were one of the fair-minded ones in this, but the episode illustrated to me how ridiculous the partisanship had gotten.) When I saw your name at RFA I remembered the months of bitterness. I looked through your Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages Talk edits for the last couple months, and saw that a huge number of them were still around these issues. Mostly the RFC and TTN, true. I'll be honest, I didn't consider that the RFC is very much disengaged from the day-to-day trenches, and I think it's a fair point. But the first diff of yours I clicked on was one where Phil Sandifer said he felt like his proposal was getting a toxic reception and your one line response was that the only toxicity was coming from Phil. It looked like more of that horns-locked, bitter and unproductive partisanship to me. --] (]) 16:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

Aside from the bunch of "got milk?" images he uploaded, his Talk Page is ''filled'' with prior image copyright problem templates.

==Papiamento/Papiamentu/Papiament== | |||
I just wanted to introduce some consistency in the article. It's not that "Papiamentu" is not in an English form because both spelling forms are actually correct. The reality is that it doesn't look good in an article to be switching between one form and the other with no apparent reason as it can introduce confusion. We could have them ''ALL'' be changed to either "Papiamentu" or "Papiamento", but since the article about "]" is titled with an "o" and is referred like that through the entire article (even when it is specified at the beginning that it is also correct to spell it as "Papiamentu"), I decided it would be best to use "Papiamento" as the "non-Papiamentu" spelling, (i.e. "English spelling"). An explanation can be introduced that tells the reader about the validity of both spellings but the usage through the articles must be consistent. I apologize for stating that "Papiamento" was the "English form" of the word. That was incorrectly used to describe the edit. Please let me know what you think. ] (]) 15:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
== Scrubs (My Bad) == | |||
:I believe that "Papiament" is considered to be the Dutch form of the word. Natives from Bonaire might have adopted that from the Dutch language. What we must do then is determine the difference between what the actual Papiamento/Papiamentu ''language'' is and its three different dialect forms on each ABC island. Since the article is written in a single language (English, in this case) and it's referring to the ''language'' and not specifically to the different ''dialects'', I think we should adopt only one form of the word for the articles. A clarifying note on each article can specify the differences between the three adaptations of the ''single'' language "Papiamento" or "Papiamentu". ] (]) 16:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

==Re: My Shoes== | |||
Thanks. I wouldn't have said "carefully keeping to hard copy references to avoid scrutiny", though. Something like "using only hard copy references" would state the facts without telling readers what inference to make. Let the facts speak for themselves. Asserting what someone else's motivation could be perceived as bordering on incivility. Anyway, I was about to ask that person for a link to the previous AfD, but your information - which answered my question - kept my question from appearing due to edit conflict. If someone recreated the article, that could have been grounds for a speedy delete. Regardless of that, though, the last thing that happened prior to this was the eventual deletion review. If fans piled in to subvert the process, that sucks. Such a quick re-nomination was still wrong (we know what two wrongs don't make) - and I realize you know that. It's not like you're the one who re-nominated it. Now, people just need to let it go and wait a ''long'' time before getting back into it. If a long time passes and the article remains unfixed, a new AfD could eventually be appropriate. Ironically, this third attempt to delete it might actually innoculate it against future deletion. I know if I were an admin, I wouldn't be quick to delete it even if I were one who focuses on the strength of a case rather than the sheer number of !votes. ] 22:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

I'm not sure RFPP is the way to go as page protection might be overkill. But I do think a "Articles for Redirect" or using AfD to discuss redirects would be good. The thing I'd want is someplace to discuss them that either the person doing the redirect or the person wanting the redirect undone could go to. As it stands the "redirector" can go to AfD (and TNN is doing that all the time) but the other side of the discussion can't do anything other than edit war. So any solution that both sides can use would be great by me. AfD isn't that, and shouldn't be used for that IMO. If it became "articles for discussion" as some have proposed that would work, but I think it needs to be something like "Articles status as delete, redirect,or keep". I'd be fine with page protection if it was needed for a redirect as long as there was a clear way to get that protection removed if it could be shown new things had happened or guidelines were otherwise met. | |||
::It probably would have gotten deleted if the second ] nomination had explicitly said at the top of the page to speedy delete it as a recreation. Sure, you might think that was clear from "Second Time", but that can mean a lot of things, and since it didn't say speedy based on deletion, that wasn't the basis for that particular AfD. Reading over the "Second Time" (which isn't what we call a 2nd nomination anyway), I was surprised not to see numerous speedy delete votes by other people trying to make that their own basis. So it wasn't just a matter of fans flocking to the AfD. Non-fans weren't saying enough of what they needed to say about it. Anyway, it exists. It survived DRV. It needs to be left alone for a long, long time. -- ] 23:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

Perhaps you misunderstood, I was trying to say that the Dutch only had contact with the sultans and other nobles in those days (perhaps ''residenten'' (Dutch) and ''regenten'' (Indonesian) ring any bells). Those nobles ordered the farmers to produce coffee etc. Of course, the Dutch intervened, but it was never their first intention, only when England gave Indonesia back it gained the official status of colony and thus the Dutch were somewhat obliged to intervene more, but again not much, with affairs such as education. In Batavia there were only a few thousand Dutch people and in some places along the shore were some Dutch ''factorijen''. Many locals never saw a Dutch person. From that perspective, the Indies were never a real colony such as the Latin-American for example were for Spain and Portugal. Understand my point?

I saw your question to Durova about the 4.0.0.0/8 netblock. First of all, be careful what you wish for, wading through contribs from 16 million IP addresses might turn out to be somewhat daunting :) | |||
I'm posting here. This doesn't belong on the main page if I'm going to discuss my specific case, but you're a good detective. Thanks for paying attention. You saw what spurred my interest in this particular topic of discussion. The user in question who edited my remarks in a talk page has been a very busy beaver. I know he's asked my permission subsequently to edit my remarks, but I'm not so certain he's ever found it necessary in previous cases. | |||
Anyway, if you don't get anywhere with the Misplaced Pages developers, let me know. If you want to see <u>anon-only</u> contribs from 4.x.x.x and '''IF''' you run Windows :( I can build you a client-side tool, it looks pretty easy using API calls and I can set the parameters so it doesn't hog the servers when the site is busy. ] (]) 07:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
His overbearing edits made me curious. Upon examining the edit history of changes he's made attributed to "not a forum" (which are numerous) very many of which are on talk pages and some user pages. I do not have the experience to determine how justified these edits are. All I can say is that they had the effect of scaring me and shocking me. | |||
:Ask and ye shall receive. I put together a hack job to test the concept. There are about 45,000 IP contribs/day in mainspace, takes about 3 min. to scan each day. I ran it back about five days and found these 9 edits: ] ] ] ](multiple) ] ] ] | |||
:Send me an email to establish a channel for sending executables. Also you may want to watchlist ] - I've created a stub there for this project. I'll be putting questions onto its Talk page about input parameters, output formats, etc. | |||

In one case, he had gone into a user's space that was being used to work on a Misplaced Pages page and took away the entire page. Again, I am not knowledgeable enough in these matters to say how this could have been justified. All I can say is that I cannot see how someone could ever be justified going into someone's personal workspace that is being used to work on a Misplaced Pages page, summarize "not a forum" and take out all of that person's work. I'm not actually complaining at this point, I am just absolutely bewildered about this situation. --] (]) 05:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

:''I work heavily in , and a lot of the episodes from past seasons of the show do not have articles there.

Then I would transfer the information from here to South Park Wiki. The ones who were notable enough for Misplaced Pages, however, I would have to write for the wikia from scratch.

Have you considered taking some of the redirected articles that you are fond of, putting them into your userspace, repairing them, and '''then''' putting them back? No one can object to you putting up a repaired version of an article that meets all relevant guidelines. Simply shouting "TTN IS BAD!" doesn't help anything ... it just helps edit wars happen. Point redirects like we were talking about in your last ANI report don't help either.

:Articles are not written in userspaces. ] are not banned. We do not expect articles to be in featured quality when placed on mainspace.

:::Certainly an episode or movie that received no award is not automatically non-notable. There are plenty of movies that received no Oscar awards. Having an article on every movie made does not seem to be a problem on my end. Misplaced Pages is not paper. Just like how we do not exclusively have articles on physics theories that won the Nobel prize we do not expect nor require every movie article to have an award. Wining prizes has not a whole lot to do with notability but instead about the reception the particular movie received. Also, just because something has real-life impact or won an award does not make it notable. | |||

Hi, I notice you said that there are so much mysticism and pseudoscience on wikipedia. I feel I have a fairly neutral stance since I am interested in alternative hypothesises to unexplained science. However, I feel that pretty much everything is slanted towards a hard scientific worldview which I find foreign and problematic. Articles such as Bleep is more about the criticism than the movie and its claims, so that can't be an example of that. I actually find the policies work in the entirely opposite direction. ] (]) 02:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
Hehe, the irony is that I feel the same way about skeptics really. I have to teach them that there is more to the world than mainstream science ... :) But I still haven't seen many problematic fringe editors. Obviously there are a few newbies that aren't good at using WP:RS, but most of the debates I've been following has been between people who seek a neutral writing, and people who are trying to rewrite the entire article into a rational skeptic POV (which might be a completely idiosyncratic if you are familiar with the subject). I also notice there is a much bigger infrastructure in place to "catch" fringe theories. Of course the mainstream science view is often wanted and catching outright lies is indeed a job of WP:FRINGE. But everything with a measure; claiming alternative hypothesises pseudoscience is to go to far for example!

== Hoaxes == | |||
Disclaimer: I haven't checked the Bleep page recently, so I'm assuming you're still acting civily and treating other editors with respect. That said, of course the system isn't broken. Most editors, like yourself, treat other editors with respect even when you don't agree with them. You seek consensus for, or at least comments on, massive changes that would inflame other users. In other words, you realize that Misplaced Pages is a collaborative encyclopedia, versus a top-down edited encyclopedia, and you strive to work well with others despite disagreeing with them. Now, that's about ''actions'' at Misplaced Pages. Let's look at content. | |||
"Am I just getting better at spotting them, or are there more and more of these things?" Maybe both. By the way, someone's nominated me for a 7th rfa without asking me first. Should I run with it or just say no, not now? ] and his otters • <sup>(] • ] • ])</sup> 04:17, 6 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
What people are saying when they say the system is broke is that the system doesn't protect their all-dominant view. That's a two-part claim. The first part assumes that their view is actually the dominant view, and the second part assumes that the view must be protected ''at all times'' by the system. The problem with the claim is that 1) They expect everyone else to assume that their view is the all-dominant view as well (many of them just expect people to take their word for it without any evidence), and 2) The system is an open system that is continually fixing itself. In other words, even if an article is incorrect on a view at any given moment, based on the view of a set of editors at the time, it's not a locked article. Whatever the actual dominant view is will be discovered, and the article view will be fixed accordingly. To say the system is broke because it's not the "correct view" at the exact moment the editor arrives is a pretty narcissistic view of the system. It's saying the system's effectiveness and ability to "work" is dependent upon it's ability to accept ''their view'' (even assuming that it's the correct view) ''at that moment''. They place a lot of emphasis not only on their view, but on themselves, assuming that the system won't correct itself if they're gone. That's completely self-centered. | |||
== Singles, songs and music videos == | |||
The people who claim the system is broken are self-styled "defenders of the wiki" who believe the wiki's effectiveness is completely centered on their edits. They're nothing more than ] that are impatient and self-centered. Perhaps the reason articles are f-upped is actually because they pissed off so many editors that editors finally stopped taking their word for it and stopped listening to them. That's not a broken system, it's a broken editor. Given the eventual turn around of editors it is more likely that the article would be fixed in their absense than in their presence. That's how the system actually works. --''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 02:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

:Kww, this may be a legitimate issue. The question of reliable, verifiable information regarding LDS temple ordinances or sacraments is virtually impossible to ascertain. The LDS church will not confirm or deny what takes place in their temples in as far as specific wordings are concerned. The question then becomes where does the information come from, which inevitably evolves into hearsay. However, I do think that Misplaced Pages policies continue to guide in these instances. There are undoubtedly statements published by individuals outside of the LDS church. Wording becomes of utmost importance; who said what and under what circumstances. If written in such a way as to not put Misplaced Pages in the position of stating "facts", then the path is made acceptable; that Mr. X, a .... has stated.... would seem acceptable. | |||

It's also confusing that the site name is something that you ''intend'' to add to the list, but are already deleting entries before completing that task. It's also confusing that the depreciated list appears to be a list of articles that have been deleted, with the presumption that if the article is gone, that automatically blacklists the chart, and I don't see that as being necessarily so. It seems to me that charts, websites, and WP articles about charts and/or websites are three different things, and are being confusingly meshed together. I also wonder if the arguments against these charts, as presented in the article deletion logs, apply to the site or collection of charts as a whole, or just portions of it, and other portions might be reliable. I note that the depreciated chart list describes it as "United World Chart/Global Top 40 Albums" which could mean only a list of top 40 albums is in dispute (which is not the particular list being removed as a reference in the Wish You Were Here article). Hopefully these issues can be cleared up, otherwise deletions like this are going to be contested. --] (]) 16:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
::The discussion was at ], and the consensus was that all those charts were to be deleted. The text we are talking about says "<nowiki>The album sold 21 million copies worldwide.<ref name=mediatr></ref></nowiki>. I don't know how much clearer a reference to the United World Chart can be. The reason I do this work ''before'' getting it on the spam blacklist is that it's confusing to people. They make another change in the article, and then can't save it because it contains the blacklisted URL. If I get all references out of article space first, that doesn't happen.—](]) 17:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

In the past I've argued quite strongly for third party sourcing and for ], creating the essay linked to there as well as suggesting ] and the no third party sources in ]. I think the differences tend to be in approaches. I want articles to be improved to such encyclopedic standards. I don't care so much about notability and the rest of it, I think they are red herrings. I would oppose the removal of information on Misplaced Pages because that is against ]. I would support the improving of articles and where an article improves Misplaced Pages, the flexibility of guidance to be taken into account. I don't believe in hard rules, and I don't believe commentaries are self published. I'm interested to hear how the actual episodes are not self published though. I would support any consequences that emerge through a collegiate ], and ] any which were enforced arbitrarily. I think it's not so much recognizing your point as you recognising mine. :) ] <small>] </small> 21:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
*And yet they have chosen to publish those views. Tricky one, granted, but I think a lot of that is legalese to protect against possible law suits. My thinking on it is this: A newspaper seeks the opinions of people to publish in its pages on its commentary pages. Are those self-published? If not, then how are the opinions of these people which the publishing company has sought to publish any different? ] <small>] </small> 10:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
**Newspapers publish opinion by commentators because they know readers will buy the newspaper instead to read that opinion, not because they have any interest or exert editorial control over them. It's exactly the same. The same as comic strips published in newspapers. It's about making the product marketable or attractive to consumers, so there is an editorial choice in there, based upon commerce, agreed, but there none the less. I would also expect that one couldn't directly libel in a commentary, I would expect a legal department to have authorised release, therefore there is editorial input over content. Of course if you have evidence of a dvd commentary being the target in a libel source, I'd be all ears, since that would clarify the position. I hope I have detailed for you why I believe commentaries are the same as any other content which is published by a third party to that which created it. We're not going to have to move into discussing whether a newspaper is self-published, for example, are we? ] <small>] </small> 11:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

Hi - thanks for your comments on my comments. I decided I would agree with you for the sake of unity in disruption &c but I don't really like it, just for reasons of style. Btw Dean Radin clearly makes assertions about the paranormal in the film, so there is a citation there, though I agree 'legitimate science' is harder to put your finger. I absolutely hate 'quantum mysticism' for the usual reason, i.e. to general and vague to be useful. It can mean 'philosophical' interpretations of genuine science - something that genuine scientists are prone to - which is suspect for philosophical rather than scientific reasons, or it can mean blatantly inaccurate or bad science.

Unless it is on ANI, I don't see discussion as wasted time.

'''HAPPY New YEAR!!!'''</br> | |||
As I commence on my annual New Years ritual of cleaning out all the junk in my room ( I tend to be a pack rat) I realized I have more than just materials to clear out before 09. I have lots of emotions both good and bad that need to be put in their proper place. Many of you gave me great memories and pictures, scrap books, and letters and bottles of patron, lol, that I got caught up reminiscing for hours on my bedroom floor. I re-lived moments, remembered some of my favorite fans, wondered how they were doing and how they feel about the changes that are taking place. | |||
In these last two years I've experienced some great accomplishments but also some of the deepest depression and unhappiness I've experienced in my life. Going through the pictures I remembered how hard the fight was to look that happy for our fans. replayed all the different issues going on under that top layer that was presented to the public. And how getting those reactions and letters was the only way I could do it again in the next city. Our blessing sometime come in disguise, so being fired doesnt always mean what you think.</br> | |||
I know there's probably no way I can really make you understand, but what I found you guys understood about me in the things you wrote to me is "you seem very honest, down to earth, and real". You guys always asked me to keep it real and stay true to myself, so I hope you understand I am doing just that, and to continue the way I was I'd have to do the opposite. | |||
You won't see me on whatever the next installment of MTB will end up being or a apart of what DK will become, but when you do see me next there will be no doubt that I'm doing just fine! (In mary j blige voice lol) you guys will recognize this representation of D.Woods from the split second glimpses I was able to show over the past two years, I hope yall will stay down and continue to support. Happy New Year!</br> | |||
PS...shout out to Carlos from d.woods web, anthony from the Bay, and imelda from Ireland, and all yall I can't name cuz there's too many! Xoxoxoxo</br> | |||

If I violate the 3RR, then you will indeed have reason to block me, but ] isn't policy so even if it does list creationism as a "fringe belief", it is just the opinion of the writer of the page and also only your opinion. The edits to the page are also not pro-creationism in any way (they don't even mention creationism in the article). They simply let it be known that a large minority of creationist scientists does exist.--] ] 22:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
I accept your comments as done in good faith. I don't doubt that you want what is best for the article. But I think if you ''honestly'' compare my edits, reverts, etc. to those of ABH, there is a vast difference between the two. Although I don't think you intended this, I think you message to ABH and me will inspire ABH to ignore any legitimate reverts or warnings I make. That's his style. But again, I respect what you say and I don't mean any of this to be a personal attack on you. I can take the high road and stay away from ABH for a while. But since you have volunteered, I hope you'll do what needs to be done about a problem editor who, although at times well-intentioned, clearly does not understand Misplaced Pages and often makes no effort to learn.

From the limited reading I've done (much of which has been young-earth creationist publishings) I have been at the conclusion that there are many holes in the big bang theory and old earth theory and that the belief in that the universe was created as is and the belief that it is only several thousand years old are equally valid theories. If I have been wrong and science has recently (or not so recently) proven otherwise, I apologize. And I also recognize that it is Misplaced Pages's duty to report strictly what has been accepted by the scientific community, not what many people simply choose to believe in spite of the facts. I personally do believe in the big bang theory and in evolution, and am not sure right now whether I believe in a creator or not, but I previously considered based on my limited knowledge young-earth creationism to be an equally valid scientific theory. So in conclusion, I've learned something new and won't continue to try to insert people's personal beliefs into a factual article. I think that the article's header, which now contains a link to ] is fine and makes it known sufficiently that there are other beliefs about the earth's age and origin without getting in the way of fact.--] ] 12:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC) | |||

First, if you haven't already, I'd suggest reading the footnotes to ]. There you will notice part of the purpose of some of those "sub" parts (i.e. how NSONGS is a sub of MUSIC). Part of the purpose of these "auto include" parts is to ensure coverage across the political spectrum and throughout history for like topics. But it also talks about how these people likely do have sources out there that would eventually allow for these people to pass the general N guideline. This helps address the issue with recentism of content. Most media produced in the world in the history of time is not available online, and large chunks that are online are only available via paid access. This means that say a song from 1959 that charted in 1959 could be included under the SNG guidelines (assuming a source for that is located), even though it could fail the GNG (a Top 40 chart does not provide substantial coverage to pass under N). And the song fails the GNG mainly because the content is not easily accessible. In essence the SNG guidelines are developed to help people determine what is notable in the absence of notability via N. They are designed to be more inclusive, not exclusive as each states at the top of each of these notability sub guidelines. As to forbid, it doesn't forbid any other than those that already fail N. Its more the other way around. And V (if proper applied) will kick out anything else as unsourced. Hopefully that helps. ] (]) 22:43, 20 January 2009 (UTC) | |||

Thanks for your message at my talkpage; yes, I can confirm that it is the latter. While I appreciate that anyone is free to express an opinion, I am making the point that White Cat is also allowed to express an opinion that there is the appearance of a concerted off-Wiki effort to re-instate JM given both the comments indicating outside communication ''and also'' a body of opinion that indicates that WC is considered to be partially responsible for JM's violation of various policies that had previously given rise to some blocks. Whether or not WC is over-reacting, it is not an unfeasible conclusion based on the merits of the comments already made. I am trying to make Ryan P. aware of that.

Notability and Licensing and Independence and Reliability
I think we have to accept that any reliable guide to Pokemon will have to be licensed. I think it is evidence of notability in itself that so many different publishers license the intellectual property of Nintendo to write pokemon guides and they are published and apparently sell well. Any detailed article about pokemon would have a legal obligation to be licensed or else it would be in violation of copyright law, which I think would make it unreliable. So I do not think it's legitimate to require books about fictional characters to not be licensed in order to be considered independent 3rd party sources. It is the legal obligation of anyone writing about a copyrighted fictional character to get licensing unless they're writing criticism or parody which would not require it. Felisse (talk) 15:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply, that was very nice. I think I did not fully convey what I meant. I think it's completely possible for a topic to be notable without having parody or critique written about it specifically. This is especially the case for items that are primarily directed at children, who are less likely to be interested in creating criticism. So that if fifteen different authors write about something, even if they are (as adults) not interested in it themselves (which would lead to criticism or parody) but mainly in the money they can make off kids who are interested in the documented minutia of the subject matter (what does it eat, what are its powers, etc), that still estabilishes notability of the subject matter and is independent enough to be consulted for an article even if it is the only source. Since the only reason it is being licensed is that it would be illegal not to, then I do not think the licensing should discount it. Felisse (talk) 15:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- WP:N says: " "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including (but not limited to): self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc. " and note 5 says: "Works produced by the subject, or those with a strong connection to them, are unlikely to be strong evidence of interest by the world at large. See also: Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest for handling of such situations." This shows that the purpose of independence of sources is to be strong evidence of interest by the world at large. And it is true that a single licensed guide would be hardly any evidence of interest by the world - but you note that "licensed" was not one of the affiliations listed by name, and I believe this is because licensing needs to be taken on a case by case basis as to whether it constitutes affiliation. I therefore think my interpretation is legitimate under the current wording of WP:N.

re "...intrusion."
No problem - in fact it is probably a good thing to have the occasional sysop action queried so that I can ensure that my criteria is valid. It is sometimes apparent that when an admin does not care for their actions to be subject to criticism (in the proper sense) otherwise good actions get picked to pieces for not being "perfect". So, if you spot anything else don't hesitate to bring it to my attention. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Suspected sock puppets.
- HHNRecordsPR was banned from posting any more infomation on this site. Since that was everything I wanted to say, I placed my signature at the end of the comment. Also, since you are looking into the posting history, you can clearly see I placed my signature there after they were banned. Question, If I was HHNRecords, Why whould I disguise my identity if I thought I was posting the comment under the GhostDog21 user name? I know the person HHNRecordsPR, and just like me, they are not with the label either. I'm not sure why they picked that name, dumb idea. That person told me the reason they were banned was due to them having the label name in thier user name, and it seemed like they worked for the label, which is B.S. I noticed on the history of G-Unit Records and Shady Records that there are user names with the label in them, Heck, there is even an administrator with G-unit in their user name, and they make contributions to the label articles. • GhostDog21 (talk) 12:07:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

False vandalism charges
Hi. Please note the IP removed many chart positions and even a source on V (Vanessa Hudgens album). It was the same thing on Vanessa Hudgens discography. As you can see, these edits *are* vandalisms. Therefore, my warnings against this editor are totally justified. For the sales in the U.S., I don't know if this info is true or false, but this change came from a vandal, and I've supposed it was false. As I see you have reverted my changes, I will request arbitration by a third person. Europe22 (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but frankly, I have a doubt on your good faith, as, for example, you let the IP do this change, that was clearly a vandalism (= ref removed and false chart positions)... I've asked an administrator, Garion96, his opinion. Europe22 (talk) 21:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- The IP has added the entry positions, not the peak positions. For example, the SNEP, that compiles French singles, albums and digital charts, says "Come Back to Me" was #12 on January 2007. See this link. You can find the same information on aCharts.com (see: "Peak positions" column) and on Lescharts.com, with the same chart trajectory. However, the IP user added #15 as peak position. See : this edit. As it was probably a mistake of the IP (he has mixed up the two colums "Entry positions" and "Peak positions"), I think it was not a vandalism of his part, but changes made with good faith. And it's probably the same thing in your case. Sorry. (Nevertheless these chart positions must be corrected). Sincerely. PS: Sorry for my bad English, and if you want, I will correct the chart positions and add references! Europe22 (talk) 22:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Fantasy userpages
Regarding the userpages, if the user is making constructive edits in the encyclopedia, then I'm willing to let them have a little latitude with their user pages. The ones I get on are the ones where their only edits are to their userpage. I saw a user today who was using his user talk page as a blog, and that's explicitly covered under WP:NOT. There's another one I watch who tends to use his userpage for some kind of classroom Survivor standings page; I think one of those pages was sent to MfD. Again, it was once it got to be that he wasn't editing the encyclopedia but was here just for the tracker thing. —C.Fred (talk) 02:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Rationale for warning
Hey, thanks for pointing it out. I wasn't aware that the user had already been listed at WP:AIV, and had added my warning as a last one before a block was necessary. The warning your provided stated further edits may result in a block, while the one I provided, was a last resort with will block. Additionally, it looks like the user has stopped editing so a block is not necessary. However, if any additional edits the user has are not constructive, then he would qualify for being blocked. If you see that the user does so, I'd say post it again or WP:AIV or let me know and I'll block him. Let me know if you need further clarification and happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: ANI, AIV, acronyms unite
Hey there! I'm glad we have a chance to talk, because I think you misunderstand the issue. It's not that everyone has a desire to discuss things (though I certainly prefer that route), but rather, at that time, I and another administrator did not see reasonable grounds to block Jdxboom. Some administrators probably would've issued a block, but only the trigger-happy ones. This way, we got to see if he was truly going to make an issue of this; then he was blocked. So you see, it's not an issue of too much discussion, but rather just the time which you reported him at.

Lindsay Lohan
I'm still skeptical about things being sourced from MySpace on this article, but that wasn't, and isn't, the fundamental issue. The issue is, as they have it, there is no source given for the statements about Lohan calling Palin homophobic and anti-environmentalist. That is a rather large WP:BLP issue. There are sources given at a later, relatively innocuous statement that Lohan criticized media coverage and urged voting for Obama. That isn't much of a WP:BLP issue. It goes much further than MySpace good or MySpace bad. It's a liability as it is in the link above. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

- Hi Kevin, so as background I spent a lot of the first five-six months of 2007 "in the trenches" at AFD and I often came away not very happy about the project. I was never involved in many fiction AFDs, that I can recall. The thing about Bulbasaur is that it always seemed impossible to even find this sort of article unless you were looking for the information in it. But for reasons that I don't comprehend, these articles instill not just passion but rage. And it spilled over into this horrid war. The highly-partisan notability wars left a very bitter taste in my mouth. TTN could do no wrong. LGRdC could do no right. All the socking made me ill. I remember Jack Merridew was a nice guy to me, even helped me fix up my user page, but when it was revealed he was a sockpuppet, virtually none of the editors who had fought on Jack's side apologized to the editor who exposed the sockpuppetry. The uninvolved admin who brought it to the noticeboards was also savaged without apology, as I recall. (I seem to remember you were one of the fair-minded ones in this, but the episode illustrated to me how ridiculous the partisanship had gotten.) When I saw your name at RFA I remembered the months of bitterness. I looked through your Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages Talk edits for the last couple months, and saw that a huge number of them were still around these issues. Mostly the RFC and TTN, true. I'll be honest, I didn't consider that the RFC is very much disengaged from the day-to-day trenches, and I think it's a fair point. But the first diff of yours I clicked on was one where Phil Sandifer said he felt like his proposal was getting a toxic reception and your one line response was that the only toxicity was coming from Phil. It looked like more of that horns-locked, bitter and unproductive partisanship to me. --JayHenry (talk) 16:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Need help on Natalee nomination
I left the below on AuburnPilot's talk page, however he emailed me from his blackberry that his internet is down. Can you manage it? The vacancy will occur sometime between now and midnight Greenwich (I think 9 pm your time). Usually, Raul puts it in later in the day, within a couple of hours of the witching hour. I'm using a computer in a public library in England, and odds are I won't be on when it happens. If worst comes to worst, there's another vacancy when the Oct 9 article clears. Anyway, here is what I wrote him:
- I suggest that we nominate as soon as Raul schedules October 3. For the quickest word, I suggest watching here. Then replace noitulovE with the code you will find in my sandbox (there is a link at the bottom of my user page). Nominate on behalf of Kww or yourself and claim 5 points. I am in Europe right now with limited internet access or I would do it myself. If we don't, I think the Grand Prix article will be nominated and we will have to replace the fairly popular U.S.S. New Jersey, which could lead to spite opposes.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

re:Ilikestella
Understood, but to me this is someone who clearly has no regard for any policies whatsoever and ignores any communication left on his talk page. Note he was blocked for 48 hours because of the Brazil information he kept adding to music articles, then once his block expired he went right to a discography page and added Brazil. Aside from the bunch of "got milk?" images he uploaded, his Talk Page is filled with prior image copyright problem templates. I certainly don't expect editors to have every Misplaced Pages policy memorized, but this editor in particular has been around for months and obviously doesn't care to at least read the page(s) about image use. - eo (talk) 11:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- Don't even worry about it - RfAs are tough and rather flawed in my opinion, but there ya go. We just have different approaches to how we would have handled this editor and that's fine. I just feel that it is extremely unfair when a specific editor constantly requires other people to clean up after them, especially if s/he makes no effort to learn how to do it correctly... whether they read guidelines or just reach out to someone to ask for help.

Pedrovip's images
I'm inclined to agree about the images, especially the Headstrong one. The only way I can see him claiming copyright is if he did the mashup, but even then, there are underlying rights held by the label, so the image isn't usable. I think you're on the right track, giving him a few more days to see how (if) he responds. I don't remember MSoldi's edit history off the top of my head, but I certainly agree that this isn't new behaviour. —C.Fred (talk) 01:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

A thought
Words have value in context. Please allow me to remind you of the number of supporters your RfA thread did attract. It would be easy to over-value those critical or neutral observations in this context. Your evaluation of constructive criticism needs to remain balanced. You shouldn't under-value the judgment of those who were favorably impressed. --Tenmei
- Responding to your subtle and familiar choice of words in the best of all possible worlds: See this link to Bernstein's 70th birthday frolic -- Christa Ludwig sings "I am so easily assimilated." In my view, the best part of this YouTube excerpt is the enthusiastic delight of Bernstein himself at the end of the clip; and perhaps this becomes a good context in which to remind you that Candide was not at all well-received when the operetta first appeared on Broadway in 1956. --Tenmei (talk) 14:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry it worked out that way. It is true though, that you will be more knowledgeable and experienced in 6 months time. It will also give you time to clarify how you feel about things. In any consensus based discussion, make sure all you write is firmly based in the polices and guidelines. Take time to help you users. A firebrand or zealot, however well-intentioned, is more likely to abuse the tools than someone who is patient with newbie mistakes, who looks to improve rather than delete, looks to buid/expand rather than fault find.

Re: double redirect elimination
Oh, all right, that makes absolute sense. I think I came to the page through a link, so I experienced the double redirect firsthand. Next time I'll fix all incoming links to the correct capitalization, that's something I should have done anyway. If there's no incoming links, the only thing left is that the search box ATM directs you to If I Were A Boy if you enter "if i were a boy", so a reader would still drop out at the double redirect.
I kinda wonder, that's just another case where multi-redirects would be very useful if they were supported by the software. I can't imagine that implementing them in MediaWiki is that hard, or taxing …

Reply.
I'm not sure RFPP is the way to go as page protection might be overkill. But I do think a "Articles for Redirect" or using AfD to discuss redirects would be good. The thing I'd want is someplace to discuss them that either the person doing the redirect or the person wanting the redirect undone could go to. As it stands the "redirector" can go to AfD (and TNN is doing that all the time) but the other side of the discussion can't do anything other than edit war. So any solution that both sides can use would be great by me. AfD isn't that, and shouldn't be used for that IMO. If it became "articles for discussion" as some have proposed that would work, but I think it needs to be something like "Articles status as delete, redirect,or keep". I'd be fine with page protection if it was needed for a redirect as long as there was a clear way to get that protection removed if it could be shown new things had happened or guidelines were otherwise met.
Good thoughts, and good discussion. Thanks. Hobit (talk) 02:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Marliesposter.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Marliesposter.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stifle (talk) 09:34, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm confused as to why you rejected my fair use claim. The girl is missing and presumed dead by the police. Although technically she is still a "living person", this problem seems sufficient to permit fair use of the image. The article in which the picture is used makes specific reference to the poster, as well. Or is this just a problem with me filling out forms incorrectly?—Kww(talk) 11:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- It's a reasonable fair use image, but you need to add an appropriate image tag as well. {{non-free fair use in|Marlies van der Kouwe}} will probably do it, but WP:TAGS/FU has a full list. Stifle (talk) 12:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

My reason is that her impression list has been on her page for a very long time and then you decide to come in and delete it, i understand what you mean...but you are basically telling me that she as a impressionist is not as big as Frank Caliendo or Darrell Hammond.
Now she has done all her impressions on MADtv since she first came on the series, and too me it is a slap in the face...because it makes no since because you have Mo Collins, Stephnie Weir, Michael McDonald, Aries Spears, Etc who all have Impressions on there list so can you please just not focus one person when there are allot other talents...no offense but your basically saying Nicole Parker impressions are not out there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madtv12 (talk • contribs) 01:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Removal of reactions of Danity Kane breakup
As I stated on the other editor's talk page who removed the fan reactions, your removal of the reactions by fans simply because they are fan opinions is unwarranted. I could see if these reactions were a lot or were not sourced, or both, and do not enhance the article, but they are not a lot, are sourced (with valid sources) and do enhance the article. Not to mention that I made sure to word the reactions in an encyclopedic manner. There is no Misplaced Pages policy that states such reactions cannot be included. There are plenty of articles on Misplaced Pages, including Good and Featured articles, that have fan reaction information.
If you would rather I not include the exact quotes, and instead relay what fans thought in my own wording, like I did with a bit of the reaction some fans have had to Dawn Angelique Richard in regards to the Danity Kane's breakup, then I am fine with that. But information on what fans think is absolutely allowed. Flyer22 (talk) 19:38, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

What Misplaced Pages's Not, "Not a Forum"
I'm posting here. This doesn't belong on the main page if I'm going to discuss my specific case, but you're a good detective. Thanks for paying attention. You saw what spurred my interest in this particular topic of discussion. The user in question who edited my remarks in a talk page has been a very busy beaver. I know he's asked my permission subsequently to edit my remarks, but I'm not so certain he's ever found it necessary in previous cases.
His overbearing edits made me curious. Upon examining the edit history of changes he's made attributed to "not a forum" (which are numerous) very many of which are on talk pages and some user pages. I do not have the experience to determine how justified these edits are. All I can say is that they had the effect of scaring me and shocking me.
In one case, he had gone into a user's space that was being used to work on a Misplaced Pages page and took away the entire page. Again, I am not knowledgeable enough in these matters to say how this could have been justified. All I can say is that I cannot see how someone could ever be justified going into someone's personal workspace that is being used to work on a Misplaced Pages page, summarize "not a forum" and take out all of that person's work. I'm not actually complaining at this point, I am just absolutely bewildered about this situation. --VictorC (talk) 05:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Ahh... okay, I should have assumed there was history there. I was in the States the whole time, but I assumed since it basically became an international incident, nearly leading to trade sanctions, etc., that most informed Europeans would be aware of it. I saw on his user page that he was from Spain and thought he possibly just wasn't aware of the significance of the whole Holloway story. Thanks for the heads up.

How will the album/single cover be used in Misplaced Pages?
- in an infobox about the album/single.
- in a header at the top of the article about the album/single.
- in a section devoted to the album/single.
- in an article about the album/single's artist, used to identify the artist's work.
- for some other use.
- You see? I was going for option #3. Although I was not for both album covers being within the article. A different editor had recently added the second album cover. But having the first album cover...I feel is an enhancement to the article's readability, seeing as it is their debut album. Plus, it is in the section about the album. Flyer22 (talk) 00:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Besides that, I provided a fair-use rationale for that second use to go along with the fair use rationale for its first use. Flyer22 (talk) 00:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Responded on may talk page, of course. Remember that I only want to use one album cover in this article, their debut one, when you list this issue at NFCC. Flyer22 (talk) 17:02, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

How come the article was improved, it now has lesser references and besides the length of an article doesn't really matter, read one of the guidelines in wikipedia, it says that putting information in this site is unlimited for as long as it has references. --Geniusdream (talk) 05:55, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Montage images as navigational elements
At least five administrators (User:Coren, User:Edokter, User:Fish and karate, and User:SoWhy) disagree with your application of that guideline. Please, read the discussion at Misplaced Pages:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2008_October_23#Image:Companions.jpg before reverting again. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 13:53, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- No. You're oversimplifying my position, again. I agree that a serious reexamination of exactly how much fair use is "minimal" is appropriate, but you are being repeatedly pointy in trying to impose your own position on the matter. You might want to note that you score very few points by building up strawmen to knock down. I've commented on the image debate as well. — Coren 18:46, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please do not misrepresent my opinion. As each image is unique in it's application, you cannot simply transpond my arguments for the Companions image to the Cheeta Girls image. — Edokter • Talk • 20:04, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- To both Coren and Edokter; I mispresented nothing. Both of you are in support of fair use images as navigational elements. That's what I was reiterating. Regardless, it's a moot point. There's been so much fury created over the image that the disruption (which isn't me) is the fury over it. I've responded appropriately. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:38, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Just to confirm that Hammersoft is misrepresenting my views, to add to his continuing disruptive antics. I wonder if an RFC may be appropriate. fish&karate 23:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Copyright violation?
How would it be a copyright violation if the photo was taken by ME during her concert in LA? Im gonna put it back since this is an up to date photo of Tina. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WalaCce (talk • contribs) 14:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Its not possible to post it directly from my camera anymore since everything was already backed up in my computer and deleted from the camera. What does OTRS stands for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by WalaCce (talk • contribs) 16:35, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Well all i did was move the images to my computer and save as a bitmap to gain a higher resolution but when I tried to upload it here that format was not accepted, so I used a program to turn it into a Jpeg, I dont know why but that infos about the camera model and etc disapeared.
When I changed the format the images were all duplicated and I probably deleted the original ones or at least some of them. Im new here and when i was uploading the photo I was asked to put a copyright tag, but it has no copyrights! Its just a photo taken during a live concert, one can even see that the quality is not that good too.--WalaCce (talk) 17:26, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Singles, songs and music videos
Were disputes over what qualified for singles, songs and music videos ever get resolved? I think it's a stretch saying someone singing some silly song on some show satisfied specs for a music video. Gimmetrow 18:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not aware of any broad consensus on the topic. Can you be specific as to what performance you don't think qualifies?—Kww(talk) 18:47, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- To be specific, "Really Great" is performed in character (poor singing voice) to the melody of "London bridge is falling down". I also find it very odd to think adding a soundtrack to a movie clip makes a "music video". Gimmetrow 18:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'll support you that in-character performances don't count. As for soundtrack addition: if they just take a 2:30 second section of a show and run a song in the background, I would argue that that isn't a video. If they take a song and build a clip montage over it, I think it probably would count.—Kww(talk) 19:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

That's alright - I "go by the book" simply because I then don't have to make value judgements, but I have no problem if an admin takes a different view. I noted that one report hadn't vandalised since the final warning, and then checked it again with a view to removing it, found they had resumed vandalising after my comment was made - so I blocked them for 31 hours... In the end, we all work to the benefit of the encyclopedia. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- I suspect that if there was a "separate book" for death hoaxes then the number of such incidents will increase; there is nothing better a troll likes than being noticed. A death hoax is vandalism as much as "is a poopy" stuff - warn 'em, report 'em, and clear up the mess they made. I have a fairly standard blocking notice for vandals, "X hours standard vandalism block", to try and cut down on any thrill they get for being found out. It comes down to personal approaches, and this is mine. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- Protected for the requested 3 days, but if the hoax is taken down speedily then it can be returned to semi. If you are keeping an eye on things, let me know if you need the status changed. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:10, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dd deluxe.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dd deluxe.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Brandy Article Reply
- Just In Case You Don't Get Back To The Article, I Decided To Post My Reply Here. I Hope You Don't Mind. And I Took Out The Bold & Spaces In The Sentences For You.
Firstly, What I Meant Was To Rename It "Brandy (entertainer)" Instead Of "Brandy Norwood", My Mistake For Forgetting To State That Part. Simply Because According To Wikipeda & I Quote "...use the most common name of a person or thing..." Basically The Most Recognizable Name. I See What You Were Saying Too. "...that does not conflict with the names of other people or things...". That's Why I Meant "Brandy (entertainer)" I Searched That Title & It Does Not Exist Or Redirect Anywhere. I Also Checked "Brandy Disambiguation" Just To Make Sure.
Brandy Is Not Only The Name People Know Her By But It's Also The Name She Uses Professionally As A Singer (On Her Albums) & Actress (Movies & TV Shows)
Secondly, Calling Her "Norwood" Throughout The Article Makes Sense, I Apparently Wasn't Fully Awake When I Made That Edit (lol)

- (This discussion is in connection with changes made to Wish You Were Here (album)) I'll leave your latest revert as is, but some comments as to why another user probably reverted your change, and I did it as well: It's a little confusing to point to a list of depreciated charts when the site name is not the same as the chart name, especially since part of that list deals with site names (URLs). It's also confusing that the site name is something that you intend to add to the list, but are already deleting entries before completing that task. It's also confusing that the depreciated list appears to be a list of articles that have been deleted, with the presumption that if the article is gone, that automatically blacklists the chart, and I don't see that as being necessarily so. It seems to me that charts, websites, and WP articles about charts and/or websites are three different things, and are being confusingly meshed together. I also wonder if the arguments against these charts, as presented in the article deletion logs, apply to the site or collection of charts as a whole, or just portions of it, and other portions might be reliable. I note that the depreciated chart list describes it as "United World Chart/Global Top 40 Albums" which could mean only a list of top 40 albums is in dispute (which is not the particular list being removed as a reference in the Wish You Were Here article). Hopefully these issues can be cleared up, otherwise deletions like this are going to be contested. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 16:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- The discussion was at Misplaced Pages talk:Record charts#Deprecated charts, and the consensus was that all those charts were to be deleted. The text we are talking about says "The album sold 21 million copies worldwide.<ref name=mediatr></ref>. I don't know how much clearer a reference to the United World Chart can be. The reason I do this work before getting it on the spam blacklist is that it's confusing to people. They make another change in the article, and then can't save it because it contains the blacklisted URL. If I get all references out of article space first, that doesn't happen.—Kww(talk) 17:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- Didn't notice one issue: "Global Top 40" is a mirror of the UWC album chart. I'll see if I can make that clearer in the listing.—Kww(talk) 17:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a heads up, a proposal I informally made a while ago has now been formally offered at Misplaced Pages:Notability (fiction).

I realize it's not a pages-long review, but my argument is that The Times is a very reputable publication and the review's length should not matter — this is not a blog we're talking about here. There is a discussion on the album's Talk Page, if you want to chime in. This is not a huge deal, I just want some fresh eyes on it in case I'm being ridiculous. Thanks. - eo (talk) 12:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
stop vandalizing
Please, stop vandalizing the article Enjoy the Ride (song). There are many, many other song articles which haven't charted in any of the charts and are still separated atricles, so I don't understand why you keep wanting Enjoy the Ride not to be a separated article.

I had a question from Tau'ri278
Hi i am Tau'ri278, I am from the Stargate Wikia and we just had a problem with someone whos name was 'Kwwsucks' and we assumed he had a run-in with you. Have you had any problems here with anyone of that name? or anyone at all? This guy/girl seems like they just want attention and are willing to vandalize pages to get it.
If you have any infromation on this please write to me on my Talk page. Thank you for the help in advance.
Tau'ri278 (talk) 01:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Kww, I looked into it and i think you might be correct in assuming this leonhart/zbeeblebrocks guy. I will inform some people at Stargate Wikia about him, I don't know if he has changed as it looks like he did here or if maybe a younger sibling or idiotic friend got the same idea. Oh well, thank you and we will continue to have our eyes out on his progress.

Independent sourcing for Elements of Fiction
I believe you have expressed the opinion that current draft of WP:FICT is too lax on the grounds that independent sources are required to demonstrate that an element of fiction is in some way notable. Instead, could you accept the arguement that an element of fiction that is the subject of substantial real-world coverage from a reliable source could demonstrate notability at some point in the future? It would not be unreasonable to assume that if there is good quality coverage from sources that are not independent, then an element of fiction may be important enough for independent commentators to write about it as well. If you agree this may be the case, then perhaps we can compromise on the current draft of WP:FICT, and this guideline can be rolled out for community approval. I feel agreement on this version is close, so I would be grateful if you could give serious consideration to making you willingness to compromise on this point at WT:FICT. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

HAPPY New YEAR!!!
As I commence on my annual New Years ritual of cleaning out all the junk in my room ( I tend to be a pack rat) I realized I have more than just materials to clear out before 09. I have lots of emotions both good and bad that need to be put in their proper place. Many of you gave me great memories and pictures, scrap books, and letters and bottles of patron, lol, that I got caught up reminiscing for hours on my bedroom floor. I re-lived moments, remembered some of my favorite fans, wondered how they were doing and how they feel about the changes that are taking place.
In these last two years I've experienced some great accomplishments but also some of the deepest depression and unhappiness I've experienced in my life. Going through the pictures I remembered how hard the fight was to look that happy for our fans. replayed all the different issues going on under that top layer that was presented to the public. And how getting those reactions and letters was the only way I could do it again in the next city. Our blessing sometime come in disguise, so being fired doesnt always mean what you think.
I know there's probably no way I can really make you understand, but what I found you guys understood about me in the things you wrote to me is "you seem very honest, down to earth, and real". You guys always asked me to keep it real and stay true to myself, so I hope you understand I am doing just that, and to continue the way I was I'd have to do the opposite.
You won't see me on whatever the next installment of MTB will end up being or a apart of what DK will become, but when you do see me next there will be no doubt that I'm doing just fine! (In mary j blige voice lol) you guys will recognize this representation of D.Woods from the split second glimpses I was able to show over the past two years, I hope yall will stay down and continue to support. Happy New Year!
PS...shout out to Carlos from d.woods web, anthony from the Bay, and imelda from Ireland, and all yall I can't name cuz there's too many! Xoxoxoxo

Don't forget WP:GNG
In the AfD for Get On Your Boots you state the article should be protected against recreation until its release date as that is the earliest it could chart. However, this doesn't take count of the general notability guideline which any article can meet (and this one does) at any time. Given that this is U2's first proper single for a while it is obviously getting coverage in reliable sources which a quick google news search shows. --JD554 (talk) 09:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

RE: Can I get both of you to cease reverting for a while?
I accept your comments as done in good faith. I don't doubt that you want what is best for the article. But I think if you honestly compare my edits, reverts, etc. to those of ABH, there is a vast difference between the two. Although I don't think you intended this, I think you message to ABH and me will inspire ABH to ignore any legitimate reverts or warnings I make. That's his style. But again, I respect what you say and I don't mean any of this to be a personal attack on you. I can take the high road and stay away from ABH for a while.

My Life Would Suck Without You
Hi
You'd really have them drag that one through DRV? That seems like a waste, too. Typically, if the reasoning behind a deletion debate changes significantly enough, I'd always think that the history can be more ore less ignored. The question that remains in this case is whether it already has with the release, or if it clearly needs to pass WP:NSONGS.
Sorry that I'm leaving you alone in that debate, but it doesn't quite seem worth it; if someone wants to work on it in earnest and not just post the typical two liner then he has my blessing, it can always be redirected or brought to AfD again in a week if it doesn't chart.

WP:NSONGS
First, if you haven't already, I'd suggest reading the footnotes to WP:BIO. There you will notice part of the purpose of some of those "sub" parts (i.e. how NSONGS is a sub of MUSIC). Part of the purpose of these "auto include" parts is to ensure coverage across the political spectrum and throughout history for like topics. But it also talks about how these people likely do have sources out there that would eventually allow for these people to pass the general N guideline. This helps address the issue with recentism of content. Most media produced in the world in the history of time is not available online, and large chunks that are online are only available via paid access. This means that say a song from 1959 that charted in 1959 could be included under the SNG guidelines (assuming a source for that is located), even though it could fail the GNG (a Top 40 chart does not provide substantial coverage to pass under N). And the song fails the GNG mainly because the content is not easily accessible. In essence the SNG guidelines are developed to help people determine what is notable in the absence of notability via N. They are designed to be more inclusive, not exclusive as each states at the top of each of these notability sub guidelines. As to forbid, it doesn't forbid any other than those that already fail N. Its more the other way around. And V (if proper applied) will kick out anything else as unsourced. Hopefully that helps. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:43, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Boldness
Bold does have its limits. On the other hand, I confess, I'm surprised to see you back in the guideline discussion. After nearly 48 hours without you contributing to any of the major threads on the talk page, I had assumed you had abandoned the discussion.
My hope, of course, is that by the time you read this you will have already posted something to the talk page indicating a better sense of how you can be persuaded that this is the best compromise available and that it has consensus, or that you will finally present the much-awaited example of an article that would be wrongly kept under this guideline.

- Do not refer to renamed users by their old usernames. Doing so is incivil and unnecessary. It adds nothing to constructive discussions. --A Nobody 20:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Labor Pains
Hi Kww. When you get a chance, would you mind looking at my comments at Talk:Labor Pains#Release date? If you agree perhaps you could make a change. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 22:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Another one
Sorry to bother again, but could you take a look at Talk:A Little More Personal (Raw)#WP:CRYSTAL and see if any action is needed. I've also just created three sections on Talk:Lindsay Lohan that you might want to take a look at. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 16:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
WP:RS
I think I was reading an old revision (when I last read the guideline closely) that didn't include the bolded phrase in the lede. However, it seems to have been bolded in the "nutshell" since before I got here. That's really very odd because I can remember a few dozen AfD discussions which would have been easier (maybe) if I had just said "RS==independent" and linked to that part of the guideline. Hmm.

United World Chart
Ooops! sorry didn't realise, just saw it used on some other articles and thought it was official. Wneedham02 (talk) 22:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Kww. You have new messages at Elizabeth Bathory's talk page.You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
head up
Get your tinfoil hat out. Apparently you are in cahoots with Phil to make a stir about FICT so that it will be "canvassed" on AN/I. Protonk (talk) 13:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
TLC
Hi. Just to let you know, you restored some content I fixed here on the TLC article. After reading WP:BADCHARTS, I'm guessing you wanted to remove the content about the United World Charts which falls under that policy. I went ahead and rolled back your edit because it added some inaccuracies (TLC has only won four Grammys, not five), an incorrectly formatted reference to a fansite of all things, and a wonky version of the awards chart that some IP tinkered with. I did however manually remove the United World Charts content per WP:BADCHARTS. Pinkadelica 01:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
support for fiction
I want to tell you that it is your somewhat unexpected support which at the last minute has caused me to also support the new WP:FICT. A good compromise is something that neither side really likes, but would prefer to the alternative of continued fighting and risk of total loss. What of course I will continue to defend is full and detailed content, whether merged or separate. DGG (talk) 03:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Opinion?
What is your opinion on the notability of American Idol Hot 100 singles? It was just created on 20 January; quite frankly I was about to nominate it at WP:AfD but thought I'd get another opinion beforehand in case I was being a bit too critical. Seems too AI fangush-y to me. - eo (talk) 21:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, I didn't notice it was started in 2008 - a year ago - still not sure of its relevance. Thoughts? - eo (talk) 21:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I went ahead and nominated it - apparently it was nearly deleted before. Chime in if you feel like it, we'll see how this one goes, either way: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/American Idol Hot 100 singles (2nd nomination). Later - eo (talk) 23:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Brexx
Hi, can you please give me the low down on the edit behavior of Brexx, so I can spot his socks. Just found out that "Anywhere But Home" was a sock. — R 14:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
American Idol Hot 100 singles
I have made some changes to American Idol Hot 100 singles and since you voted Delete in the AfD, I would appreciate you looking at the article and telling me what you think. Aspects (talk) 19:57, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Could it be?
I think so: Special:Contributions/4.224.186.180
Alis.Payan: contributions from the range
Hello Kww. At ANI you mentioned going through the last 100,000 edits to find anon contributions by this editor, so you may not have seen the CIDR gadget yet. The option is called: Allow /16 and /24 – /32 CIDR ranges on Special:Contributions forms.
When I checked Special:Contributions/200.88.94.0/24 I found hundreds of edits to show-business articles, so most likely they are all Alis.Payan. There were some scientific-looking edits from 2007 and earlier, but very few.
The block log for this range shows that the last previous block was only a softblock, but I agree with you that a 6-month hardblock is worth doing if checkuser approves it. EdJohnston (talk) 14:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- The AnonEdits tool does sound useful; how can I get it? EdJohnston (talk) 14:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
And...
The creator of the Katelyn Wyler article was User:BreeHills12, no other contribs, blocked per WP:DUCK (note the "12" in the username). Cheers, Black Kite 19:23, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Neuro emotional technique
Hi I am the original poster, and was wondering what you didn't like about my research? I spent a lot of time and effort into it, only to find it keeps getting deleted. I thought encyclopedia articles were supposed to be explanatory as opposed to a paragraph or two. If you are familiar wit Neuro Emotional Technique and have better background knowledge of it, I would love to talk with you and perhaps we can come up with a better post. Please contact me if you would like to do so, as I think it might make for a post that we would both be happy with.

Neuro emotional technique
Thank you for your response, you have some valid points. I will spend some more time with the article and see what edits would work for the benefit of the article as a whole - not just for you and me :) KBenSDKBenSD (talk) 19:33, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
an elaboration on that "good article" bit
Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Good_article_status
I get the feeling like my proposed change isn't much different from the previous wording that wasn't acceptable to you and Gavin (I was gone for that debate and I can't be arsed to dig through the archives). Can you drop by and take a look at it. GG seems to be pushing back against the GA thing and it is a battle I'm not interested in fighting if we don't actually mean GA status, but rather "this article could never possibly be improved from a permastub without huge masses of PLOT info", then we should probably yield a bit. Let me know if I'm giving away the cow w/ the milk. Protonk (talk) 00:06, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Princess Protection Program
With respects inre this edit diff, The cast listing at IMDB for this completed film lists Allison Liddi as director. It also shows she is also know as Allison Liddi-Brown. While certainly IMDB has credibility problems in many areas, consensus at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Films accepts their cast listings as reliable once a film has been completed. The listings in the provided New York Times source also confirms Allison Liddi-Brown as director, so we have confirmation and further verification. Further, the cast listing at IMDB and at the New York Times both WP:Verify the information. Since neither is a primary source and the information is not controversial or inflamatory, with respects I will be returning it and show it as attributed to the Times. Good catch.

File:Mr._Krabs.jpg
I'm curious as to your standard of evidence. The image is clearly a screenshot from a Spongebob Squarepants, and "Mr Krabs" is the name of a character in Spongebob Squarepants. What do I need to say to persuade you that the image is speediable as a copyright violation?—Kww(talk) 12:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with children's cartoons, and not having seen your edit summary there was no way for me to connect the image with Spongebob Squarepants. Deleted now. Stifle (talk) 13:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
