Talkback

John MacLennan Buchanan listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect John MacLennan Buchanan. This proposal will potentially affect the disambiguation of all John Buchanan articles, so you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

Hi, how can I help you? What do you want help with? You seemed to have removed an awful lot of useful/standard stuff, like the infobox for starters, and at least one ref. Be good to get the infobox back, and I note from your edit notes that the refs may be old/out of date. Best Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 10:19, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks. Appreciate your interest and action. Perfect. Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 10:35, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Marine Connection

Hi Trident 13.

Perhaps you can help me, I have a question and do not know how to go about getting the help I need.

I noticed that you update the Marine Connection Wiki page that I originally did. My question is actually about a newly created page for Marine Connection of Facebook. Did you make it, or do you know how I can find out who did?

It is here:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/International-Animal-Rescue/100956029946881?sk=info#!/pages/Marine-Connection/108294055865266?sk=info

Thank you for your help.

Hi, I hope that this finds you well! No, I didn't create the page on Facebook: my edit here simply changed the categories. The information on that Facebook page is simply the[REDACTED] article here sucked in to the Facebook page, which is an option that the Facebook page creator is offered by Facebook within the page editorial controls. Do you represent the charity, and are you trying to reclaim the brand? Facebook have some pretty tough rules on who can claim what "vanity page url" (it used to be 25 likes; as of last week it became a "claim under these rules"). If you are trying to reclaim the page for the chairty, and can prove that you represent the charity, then on that page you directed me toward there is a REPORT button in the left hand column. Follow that procedure, verify yourself as representing the charity, and they will quickly redirect the page to an authorised by the charity owner/editor. If you need any help, come back and ask, and if you do represent the charity I am more than willing to help you polish up and improve the existing article here. With Best Regards, --Trident13 (talk) 16:56, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

List of vegetable oils entry for cassia oil

I just wanted to let you know that I've removed the entry for cassia oil in the list of vegetable oils article. This is because cassia oil is not a pressed oil (which is what list of vegetable oils is about), but an essential oil. I don't know if there's an entry in list of essential oils for it, but that'd be the place to add it if not. Thanks! Waitak (talk) 17:22, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Category removal

Hi Trident13. I noticed that you removed Category:English racecar drivers from Piers Courage. In case you were planning to do the same to any other articles, I'd like to point out that it's WP:F1 convention that F1 drivers are included in both the "<nationality> Formula One drivers" and "<nationality> racecar drivers" cateories - see Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Formula_One/Conventions#Drivers.

Jony Ive edits

Hi,

I didn't mean to remove the whole info box, just to change the photograph. How can one do that without disrupting the info box? My apologies. The other edits I made are legitimate:

Jony's wife Heather is not a historian. The "obvious influence" of Dieter Rams on the first iOS calc function is opinion, not fact.

Pls advise, thx, IDharper (talk) 18:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC) Harper Alexander

Category:Pedestrian bridges in Wales

Is there a definition for these?

If this category is to be useful to readers (or else why bother?) is there any need to distinguish bridges built for pedestrian traffic (often recent and narrow) and old bridges, like Monnow bridge and Over Bridge that were once major trade routes for horse or carriage traffic, but have now been pedestrianised? Both of these were active road bridges until within the last few decades. There are also rare bridges like Pontypridd where the steepness of the bridge required steps (and thus made wheeled traffic impractical) but were major horse routes.

Raised also at Category talk:Pedestrian bridges Andy Dingley (talk) 09:54, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I hope that this finds you well! In summary: great question! All that I did last night was follow the existing categories/precedents, and create a Welsh-bridge structure. I started this exercise on the back of creating at artcile for Hengoed Viaduct - a former railway bridge that is now part of National Cycle Route 47. So should it be a railway bridge, or a cycle bridge (a category that doesn't exist, hence the precedent seems to be to use pedestrian bridge as the preferred catageory). I hope that you get an answer to what is a very reasonable question. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 15:01, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violations in personal stubs

Hi. I noticed that a number of the pages you've listed as "personal project stubs" appear to be news stories and other material copied and pasted from elsewhere on the Internet. For example, User:Trident13/Conyers is copied and pasted from The New York Times, User:Trident13/NAllport from the Western Mail, and User:Trident13/Mathaba from the organization's web site. Other pages like User:Trident13/APNC quack like copypastes. You should be aware that posting this content most likely violates copyright and Misplaced Pages policy. Please look through your user space and remove any copyrighted material. Thank you. Lagrange613 (talk) 00:11, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I see you have only been here for a short while (May 2011), but as I have seen that you have done so little article creation, read the section on personal stub pages at Misplaced Pages:Subpages as that's part of their function!!! They collect - act like storages buckets - of data for potential articles. They hence generally don't fall foul of such rules that apply to the main space. Over an undefined period of time - some of mine are over 4years old - they may or may not create text on subjects which are suitable for the main space (ie: subject may not pass WP:notability, and in creation they use input from various sources, including books and other webpages. Have you ever seen or researched how one source often conflicts another, even creating differences in basic time lines? Hence why in my system I take in the key facts and supporting text (Input1, Input2, Input3 etc - Some of those are straight text copies, and some may take sections, but that's for reference/article build), and then create a new and referenced base timeline above it. Most often these days I then add a suitable infobox, and then use an article format I like/am happy with/has from that team been rated good, and create new original text suitable which could then be placed into production in the mainspace. Do you think after 5years here I don't understand copyvio??? Perhaps try a bit of article creation yourself first, and then you'll understand the difficulty of article creation. You won't get to become an administrator without a bit of article creation in your record here! Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 20:55, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Apparently it is you who needs to read Misplaced Pages:Subpages: "Copyright violations are not permitted on any page in Misplaced Pages." You can pull nonexistent rank and call me "idiot" all you want, but them's the rules. I came here first out of respect for all the good you've done for the project, but if you don't act my next destination is CCI. I doubt they'll see it your way. Lagrange613 (talk) 22:09, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Having been through this a few times with more experienced editors, can I suggest that you reread the section at Rule4? These personal pages are not created to "share" with other editors, they are only created to collect potential content to create potential articles. You didn't as you falsely claim come here out of any "respect" hence my reflection of your attitude. Please do as you wish. Rgds --Trident13 (talk) 19:09, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Trident13. I noticed this discussion while visiting Lagrange's talk page on other business. I am pretty sure that copyright violations are not allowed in user space. As a test, I am going to tag one of the pages for speedy deletion as this will attract the attention of another admin. The page I have selected for the test is User:Trident13/Conyers, which can be sourced to the copyright material at The New York Times. Regards, --Dianna (talk) 06:22, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

And now it's gone. Please recover any urls from the remaining subpages that are copyright violations if you wish to have access to the material, and tag the pages for deletion using {{db-g7}} or {{db-g12}}. Thank you. --Dianna (talk) 14:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Simon Rivers

Hi Trident13, Just wanted to let you know that I saw that you created the new article Simon Rivers--However, I think the article seems to contain a few errors: the article contains grammatical errors. I'm kind of new here myself but let me know if there is any way I can help. Thanks, Amy Z (talk) 20:36, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Tunnelling in Vietnam

Hello Trident13. I'm curious about this edit to Tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers. AFAIK Australian engineers in Vietnam were used to search and clear Viet Cong tunnels, but they didn't conduct offensive tunnelling in the manner that occurred during the First World War. Indeed its difficult to conceptualise how or what that would have achieved (although I admit I'm not an Engineer so perhaps my knowledge here is deficient). I'm not really sure how one can equate the battlefield circumstances of an insurgency/counter-insurgency (i.e. Vietnam) and the tactics the Australians used there, with those of the mass industrial warfare experienced 50 years earlier during the First World War. Could you please elaborate and provide references for your assertion? Otherwise I think it may need to be removed. Of course I'm happy to discuss though. Thanks in advance.

Good call. Definitely preferable to my other alternative: Edward Davenport (bit of a bad egg). Yunshui (talk) 13:51, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of European Anti Poverty Network

The article European Anti Poverty Network has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No independent sources, does not meet WP:GNG. Not clear whether this still exists: homepage is now a blog on very different subjects...

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
