User talk:CambridgeBayWeather/Archive24

I have two requests for people coming here:

• If you intend to revert to personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
• If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Replying to your PM

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Silkroad forums. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. K3y-J 10:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Just as you asked, i hope we can ressolve this matter.

Question.

Is it wikipedia policy to block people who make constructive edits? How many times are you going to attempt to block me and fail? When are you going to understand no matter what, I will be able to edit wikipedia? Is this all making sense to you? Please, block me again, and see how long it takes for me to come back here and say "Nah nah nah nah nah, you can't block me, nah nah nah." :) 75.41.212.224 22:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

"Nah nah nah nah nah, you can't block me, nah nah nah." 71.157.173.146 22:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Now I'm just going to be be a secret ninja and not write on talk pages. :) That way, you won't find me. :) Do you ever get off wikipedia? Don't you have a life? 71.157.173.146 22:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hockey North

Hello. Can you tell me any info about Hockey North or Hockey Nunavut? Or the 3 "Junior C" class teams that are eligible for the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championships (Kivalliq Canucks, Team Baffin... I can only think of two)? Info on that hockey scene is hard to find. DMighton 03:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I found the blog for the Baffin Jr. C coach and he said in his blog that there was a team from Rankin (Kivalliq) and Cambridge Bay... I take these teams are zone and/or select teams and only come together for the regional tourney. Here is his blog: http://livingincapedorset.blogspot.com/ -- It seems he wasn't happy with the organization of the event. They beat the Cambridge Bay-based team and got smoked by Kivalliq.

"the 1985" deletion

I submitted a very brief description of "the 1985" (band), because they were a group I was fond of in their existence, and I noticed their name is linked (to no description) in about 3 or 4 different articles.

Yet, my description was deleted because they were "non notable." If this is the case, perhaps you should remove the links in other articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tremblehand (talk • contribs) 17:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

Sorry, but ...

Sorry, but the LOVE-chan .. i think in time it will porbably grow and get relatively large. It would overwelm the Ai Otsuka article (pretty much ,now it wouldf end up being nearly half the article) and it would unbalance it. LOVE-chan should have her own article ...

I'm obviously talknig about the LOVE-CHAN article.

And sorry; i have already reverted the article to a previous; previous form. I am consulting you now though ...

Why did you delete the internetz cats article? I was working on it, documenting the internet phenomenon. Just because you might not think something is relevant doesn't mean it shouldn't be documented. Maybe next time I will try to do a full complete page all at once, it's not really that easy though.

Re: Akisha Samia

In that case, could you procedurally list the article at AFD, since you removed the prod tag and the anon couldn't make the page? I currently don't have time at the moment to do so myself. --Coredesat 04:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, this is the anon who placed the latest tag on the "Akisha Samia" entry. Sorry, I wasn't aware that it had been previously tagged and I didn't have the time to go through the proper procedure. I assume I need to register with Wikipedia to list the article at AFD? Thanks for informing me of my error and also for making a proper AFD listing for this entry. I hate to rain on someone's effort at creative writing, but there's no place for something like that on a site dedicated to useful, relevent information. Okay, I'm done babbling. Thanks again.74.12.134.225 08:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, and of course we'll see it on AfD, and if you know of any real magazine etc references it will help all the more. I'm going to take a quick look too,of course. DGG 05:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Belleville, Ontario

I'm sorry, where is your reference as to whether Jason Tam is not an attorney or civil rights activist? I would appreciate it if you would not delete that entry because its improper to assume. The entry was updated since December and only recently been deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matnosaj (talk • contribs) 15:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

Frankly...

Just because there are no internet references (non-internet references can be cited), there is no reason your arrogance should delete a person from a notable person list. Jason Tam is an accomplished attorney and is an active Asian American attorney. This information is for the world and there is no reason why I should have to prove it to you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matnosaj (talk • contribs) 15:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

The audacity...

Now I've cited to sources and you have again deleted it. Apparently you are deleting just for spite and this type of abuse is not necessary for the Wikipedia world. For a person who is not FROM Belleville, you are in no place to edit the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matnosaj (talk • contribs) 15:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

Steve Barakatt deletion

You recently speedied the Steve Barakatt (it had been speedy three time before) in spite of my {{holdon}}, and the article is up again. I'm a little confused why claims of notability weren't discussed given the holdon and talk page edits. Anyway, an anon brought the article back. I'm not sure if its the same anon, as the article was deleted, so there is no edit history, but if you still think it should be deleted, perhaps putting it through AfD would be more fair. That way if the consensus is to delete, it can be protected from immediate recreation... Best, Smmurphy^(Talk) 16:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad...

that you have decided to get others to delete my entries. I can't believe you are so arrogant and racist that you would delete information regarding a successful Asian minority and his hometown. Very childish and immature.

Burgz33

Another editor has alerted me to the return of this blocked user via sockpuppet. The puppet is 15x2+3. I've looked at the edit history and other than removing a sock tag on this user page no "damage" has been done. Though there is no doubt it's the same user which means he is creating more socks to circumvent a block. Yankees76 22:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:Signature

THANKS A BUNCH HOLMES! I was waiting for a mamacita-editor to ask me that! Then I could have answered the question hésé.... :Y But to answer your question, the Association of the Mamacitas of Rama's Arrow (RAISSEXY - ya I know, but they insist on using this acronym) is my reliable source for this. However, this may not conform to a neutral point of view and may be a conflict of interest as it does not include former mamacitas, one-night-stands, pretty sisters and best friends of former mamacitas... The latter group may prefer it if this were not a case of a biography of a "living" person, but that's their POV... Back to the point, my instinct is to report you at WP:PAIN, but I'm not a vindictive guy. RAISSEXY might choose to pursue this matter, however and I can't speak for them...

List of symbols

However we aren't comparing nations, we are comparing Statoids. And ones on the same continent too. If there was a list of Australian state symbols or list of French region symbols we'd link to that too. There is no common cat for Can Prov symbols and US state symbols but clearly they represent a related phenomenon. Kevlar67 03:34, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Quite agree there should be a centralized page for sub-national symbols. But until there is, a web of links will have to do. Kevlar67 03:21, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Vancouver Harbour Water Aerodrome

I'm afraid this isn't my area of expertise or a usual topic I edit so forgive me. My main fault with the article was the fact that the coordinates landed within the water. Would 49" 16' 26.44 N 123" 07' 08.90 W the location of the dock or 49" 17' 09.54 N 123" 06' 45.95 W the 200 Granville Street location of the control tower be more appropriate? RichMac (Talk) 06:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

An hour to reply on wikipedia is pretty good, I've waited days to weeks for updates. Anyway the 49° 17' 26.44" N 123° 07' 08.90" W for the dock and 49°17' 09.54" N 123°06' 45.95" W is formatted better for Google Earths liking. Put down a 16 instead of 17 on the first one. Don't know where aerodrome coordinates are usually pointed, so I'll leave it in your hands. Thanks. RichMac (Talk) 07:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Your edit looks fine to me. However, I know next to nothing about harp seals. I just happened on the article and noticed that floe was misspelled, then decided to fix the unnecessary capitalizing of animals' names as well. Deor 12:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

James Arreak

Hi,

I was going through adding some biography's to mid 70's NWT MLAs, and I noticed that someone named James Arreak was elected to the Legislative Assembly for Baffin Central in 1979. I am wondering if this is the same James Arreak currently in the Nunavut assembly, the thing that makes me confused is the article lists a 1968 birth date I can't find confirmation of. If this was the same James Areeak that would mean he was elected at 11 years old and became mayor of Clyde River at 14 years old such as the article states which i doubt. Do you have anyway of finding out if there is 1 or 2 Jame's Areeak's? --Cloveious 00:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

MLB Records

I'm sorry, I mis-read your changes somehow. I see you reverted back to your first version, and that seems fine. Be aware, meanwhile, that some guy named Ron Liebman, along with various IP addresses, keep attempting to push this idea that hitters' streaks should not be considered to be interrupted by military service. That is strictly his/their opinion, it has no bearing on MLB's rules and certainly no place in wikipedia. It could be true for a personal streak, but not for MLB overall, which did not shut down operations during WWII. Just letting you know about this ongoing hassle (also with birthdates, such as Christy Mathewson) in case you get entangled in it. d:) Wahkeenah 21:30, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Actually, I had attempted a revert to your first version, but my changes did not appear, which means your second version exactly matched your first version. Perfect. Meanwhile, if you look at User:Ron liebman's "contributions", you'll see that he's messing around with a lot of date-related stuff, all of it based on information he allegedly found in hard-to-reach sources. That is against wiki rules, and I've already asked an admin about it. The guy might be right, but he's not providing any verifiable documentation, and his stuff about the streaks casts a shadow of doubt over all of his edits. So far I've only reverted Mathewson and Casey Stengel, but he's done a lot more of them, and refuses to respond to questions to him, which also casts doubt on his worthiness as an editor. Wahkeenah 21:52, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop blanking edits.

These are constructive and insightful edits you have been blanking. Please stop. I hope I don't have to tell a higher admin about this. My guess is you're just going to delete this anyway. 70.239.214.254 19:22, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop, I have had proper sources for all these edits, and all you're doing is vandalizing Wikipedia by reverting these. I'm trying to be civil with you. 69.150.84.232 19:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Stop blanking without a valid reason then, it doesn't have as source but has the {{fact}} tag by it. Also, I had a source from ufc.com for Phil Baroni's height/weight, yet you reverted it. 69.150.84.232 19:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

infobox again

I'd like to avoid an edit war on this, so do you think you could step in before it starts up again? As you may recall, less than 3 weeks ago we discussed this and 4 editors agreed on the header - one editor who hadn't participated in that discussion is objecting now, but instead of waiting for discussion went in and made the change according to his preference. I think it should be reverted and discussed, and let's see if the thinking of the editors has changed in the last 3 weeks or if others weigh in, and go with consensus. I thought a neutral admin might be a better person to say so, as I was involved in the last discussion. Thanks Tvoz |talk 00:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Terry deRoy Gruber

Hi! So how can I change the article so it can be added? The source is from Terry Gruber himself, not a textbook. How can I attribute that?

Also, can you send me or paste the page I created? I didn't think I would have a problem with it and did not get a chance to save it before it was deleted. Thanks.

Editting user's page

Were my editting harmful or insulting to the users..?? OF COURSE NOT!! So, why did you send me the warning...i have no idea

About Film categorization

Please, see the discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films/Categorization. I have spent most of the day today repairing the Category:Canadian films. It is our Canadian film index and we need it to include all films. The same is done for all country films. Please discuss. Hoverfish Talk 22:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

This thing about reducing categories is only one way of looking at things. My understanding so far is that it is true in some cases whereas in others it is good to keep all inclusive categories. It has even been very seriously proposed that all films are attributed Category:Films, which (category) I have personally worked to reduce to a minimum. For the time being, WP Films consensus has rejected this mega-category proposal. I have worked in several gigantic film lists and list series and I find it most important to have all inclusive categories by country (which is the way things were being organized in films before I joined Wikipedia). Trying to create a list for it would be extremely shaky and already we get the argument "That's what categories are for". So we do lists for where intersections may get too diverse and we try to make them as informative as possible, as the AfD's are coming from all directions lately. Even if you don't agree, I hope you see there are serious problems behind all this and we are doing what we can to combine categories, lists and navigation templates to meet the needs. There is also progress being done in software that enables a fast listing of any category intersection. Well, this is not yet, but the moment it is applied, a lot will change in the categorization logic. Hoverfish Talk 23:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, have you seen Lists of films#By letter & number? It took us a very very long time to it set up. As for keeping it updated... Now to do the same for all countries and to keep such a mega series of lists proprely updated and maintained... We would need to create multiple task forces only for this. And film gnomes don't usually stay too long on one line (in my experience). We are just in the middle of creating the Lists of films#By region and country of origin, which is by country arranged by decades and years. If it looks simple simple from the outside, I can reassure you it's not as easy when you are trying to coordinate it and work for it from the inside. I will consider your suggestion however. Being in the middle of all this work shouldn't make one blind to new ideas. Hoverfish Talk 23:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I have tried to get AWB but my system has a glitch and doesn't download it (though I've been approved). So until I reinstall Windows... This new software development, when it gets ready, will do this for everyone, without the need of special browsers, plus much more. Let's hope they get it ready soon. It will save us plenty of work. Late here now (UTC+2). I'll be glad to discuss things further in the next occasion. Cheers! Hoverfish Talk 23:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Nice work!

What do I do next?

Sorry to bug you about this but you were the first admin involved in this. I did a RFC on the city issue on Halifax, Nova Scotia. I went and found references, not the least of which being an Act of the Legislature. I have tried direct contact, I have tried pubic dialog, I have suggest compromises that are closer to the truth than we have now, but not what I would like to see. Lonewolf BC just doesn't care. What do I do now? He just broke the 3RR again on the Halifax, NS page, there are at least four users who he has reverted the same edit on. Who do I complaint to, what do I do? Help me find a way through this. WayeMason 18:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thats good as far as it goes, but the page is factually incorrect, his only source secondary source and we have two primary sources that refute it. Do I do a RFC/user? WayeMason 21:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Let me be clearer then, I was asking for guidance, as an admin... not for you to take sides. What is the appropriate escalation if users are unable to reach consensus? WayeMason 22:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

God, that is so much easier... why didn't I notice that in 2+ years of editing? BahahahaWayeMason 22:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Now he's trying to 'mask' this behavior of his by showing interest in pictures of other stuff too: [3], [4] so later he can protest "I've shown interest in all pictures, not just in this case"). Definitely a troll as many have rightly called him and a dangerous one. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 13:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. The 48 was to buy some time for a discussion. I don't have the capacity to look into his edit further, but if you feel a longer block for disruption is warrented, feel free to refactor.--Isotope23 20:00, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
