== Sommelier entry, re: commercial pitch under Education and certification == |
|||
First of all, I apologize if the talk entry is in a weird format. I'm new to editing in Wikipedia. What I don't understand is why my entry that expands on Education is considered a commercial pitch, when the current information is basically a commercial pitch--and a monopoly on information--for one education institution among many, The Court of Master Sommeliers. Is it against Wikipedia's policies to expand information to cover more than one instituion in a category? And if so, then how does Wikipeidia decide which institution gets to represent them all? I'd write more about other sommelier training centers if I knew anything about them, but the point of Wikipedia, I thought, is to enable users to input knowledge that they are expert in. Please let me know why my entry keeps getting deleted, but the Court of Master Sommeliers information is fine. |

Thanks!Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 14:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC) HergéMurgh, my update to Hergé was marker as "(rv revision by Mapryan (talk) until sources are presented)". I'm new to Wikipedia, so could you point me in the direction of what I need to do to resolve this? Incidentally, the changes are made are direct quotes from Remi recorded in the interviews presented in the program "Tintin et Moi". Cheers Mapryan 17:41, 25 February 2007 (GMT)

Rene GoscinnyI can agree about the reference section. But in the categories you must put the surname, otherwise it'll be listed under the R of René instead of the G of Goscinny. Bye and good work. --Attilios 12:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
"previous commentator ... his criticsims"On Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirate Cove (webcomic) you wrote: "Furthermore the previous commentator ought to cool it with getting personal as his criticsims stands some criticism themselves." Was that directed at me? I'm the commenter right above your comment. -- Dragonfiend 05:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Commons POY 2006I confirm vote for pic 4 from my normal en:WP account, same guy as commons:User:Murgh MURGH disc. 16:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC) Hi there, re this edit, the anon editor was probably not vandalising. Venereal is indeed an archaic adjective relating to Venus, as is Venerean. I'm not sure what version had the greater historical usage when in reference to the planet, though, so I won't think of changing your edit back. Best regards, — BillC talk 19:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

How can you possibly think Manchester United is anything but a world-famous club? The vast majority of people around the world know of the club, and I should know, having been to many different countries worldwide. Please stop removing the "world-famous" statement on the Manchester United page, or I will have you reported for vandalism. PeeJay 18:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
TeckWiz's RFAHey Murgh. Thanks for supporting my unsuccessful RFA this week under my old name, TeckWiz. I'm now known simply as User:R. I hope to keep helping and improving Wikipedia alongside you. --TeckWiz is now R ParlateContribs@(Lets go Yankees!) 21:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC) Requested movesA few weeks ago, you began to make several requests to have articles about comics moved to names which were compliant with WP:NCC. These were not listed at WP:RM, and so have not received any attention. Most of the targets appear to be red links, so there should be no obstacle to your making the moves yourself, or, if you think discussion is necessary beforehand, you can complete the requests according to the instructions at WP:RM. I have found nine, although I may have overlooked a few:
I only came across them in clcearing out the half-formed proposals and so on that accumulate in Category:Requested moves. So, just make sure that you remove the {{move}} tags once you're finished, and everything will be hunky-dory. --Stemonitis 15:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads upWow, that's scary. Thanks so much for the heads up, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
BédéthequeMurgh, I think we better not use Bédétheque too much as a source or external link, since it is basically a Wiki (i.e. not a reliable source), where most of the relevant info can be found in the BDM catalogues anyway, or at the homepages of the editors (Dupuis, Casterman, ...). I know that Bédétheuqe is often correct, but I don' think any of the info is really indispensable. The BdOubliées is perhaps not much more reliable, but the info on it is often not reproduced by books or more reliable publications, so can be kept as a reference until then. I have removed Bédétheque from the Hubinon article, and I think it is perhaps best if we remove it from every article that has been checked against the BDM (or the Dutch Matla catalogue where applicable). Fram 19:01, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Re-creating deleted articlesA tag has been placed on Sore Thumbs, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Sore Thumbs is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Sore Thumbs saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. /Blaxthos 06:16, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Calm down. The message you received was placed on your talk page by me. Additionally, nothing states that you recreated the same article, or that you recreated your own deleted article. It was simply a courtesy to let you know that the article was already created and subsequently deleted due to notability concerns. It doesn't meet our criteria for inclusion, and so has been removed. Please check out WP:AGF. Thanks. /Blaxthos 14:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Userfied Sore ThumbsOkay Murgh, I userfied only your revisions of Sore Thumbs to your user space, User:Murgh/Sore Thumbs. Did you want the associated talk page or can I delete that? Steve block Talk 19:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Yoga pollHi! There's some discussion on whether using "asana", "yogasana" or "yoga asana" as the article title. If you are acquainted with the subject, you are invited to drop your opinion at Talk:Yogasana#Opinion Poll on this article's name. Davin7 09:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC) 07 (UTC) Thanks, I was a bit hasty there. Thanks for all your other work as well, by the way. I would have to check more of your contribs to see if all your work is up to the same standards, but assuming it is (civil, neutral, helpful, ... and so on), would you ever consider becoming an admin? If so, I might nominate you, as we can always use more admins. Fram 16:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
VandalismYou have been reported for vandalism. Do not remove information that has a reputable source. 122.49.166.14 19:45, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
1. HMV is one of the most respected names in the music industry. 2. Sources do not have to be written in English. 3. Registering a Wikipedia account does not make you more special than editors who do not register. 4. I do not remove any sourced information that is from a respected news publication, industry company, or from anyone that is a representative. Furthermore, according to your opinion, lead paragraphs like "Since the 1980s, his legacy has been firmly established." should not be included, nor should references to the "guardian" Remove this information again without consensus, and you will be reported for edit warring, and also vandalism again. This is a warning! Your above comment will also be taken as bad faith. I suggest you read the Wikipedia guidelines. 122.49.166.14 00:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Image Size Selection(Is this the appropriate page for this discussion? If not, feel free to move. If it's all been gone over before, could you supply a reference?) What are the Wiki policies on image sizes? On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirou_et_Fantasio, for example, the albums photos are 300 pixels wide. On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crab_with_the_Golden_Claws, the book cover image is 200 pixels wide, but the frame it's inside causes it to take up 290 pixels of the horizontal space for the text. The right and left picture margins are twice the size of any other margin on that page... There are still some that think everything should be easily visible on an 800x600 laptop, Web-safe colors, and paint quickly when seen on a dial-up line, but checking the figures, the viewers for whom all those considerations are true are under 5% and have been dropping every year considerably. On the other hand, average screen size is getting larger, and many graphic cards don't even have a setting anymore that allows using as few as the "Web Safe" colors. In such situations tiny thumbnails look miniscule. Another consideration is the owners themselves -- generally they like their work represented in the most favorable light; for example, being able to see the publisher's name, logo, text, expressions on faces. Regardless, resizing a photo downward from the uploaded Wiki version isn't optimal. The quality sometimes drops considerably between the thumb and uploaded full file size: For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin_and_Alph-Art and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achille_Talon are noticable. Maybe one has to be sitting in dim light and have an LCD with a 800:1 contrast ratio or greater for this to be noticable? One solution, it was pointed out to me, is to upload the photo at the resolution it will display. But that works only if there's some fixed standard so the photo isn't resized later. Thoughts?

Re:Stub type proposalI'm sorry that the Franco-Belgian proposal ended as a withdrawn request, though I certainly understand why. The idea of a Euro-comics-creator-stub (as originally suggested) is still a viable one, though, and is likely to be created at some point, probably in the near future. Hopefully that will make it at least somewhat easier to keep track of the stubs. Grutness...wha? 23:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Hm. It looks like Peg must have misunderstood you. I'll re-propose it - with any luck it shouldn't cause any problems with it just being for a Euro type. Grutness...wha? 00:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC) BarksWhy do you insist on having that silly flag there? According to all the reasons described in WP:MOSFLAG there is no reason to have a flag. People really can read the words United States instead of seeing also a pretty picture. Also, Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics has no separate manual of style. At least not one I could find on the project page. Garion96 (talk) 19:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for the late response. I am glad I made another convert. :) Even without a bot removing all the flags, I do think (hope) they slowly will disappear since I am not the only one removing them from infoboxes. I am glad it is gone from the Carl Barks article though, my favourite comics artist. I hope some day to really improve that article, have enough sources here at home but for some reason never have the time/energy to do so. Garion96 (talk) 20:51, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
You're edit warring over whether a flag is left or right justified at the above page. I've created a section on the talk page for a discussion regarding the issue. In the meantime, if you are at a loss for other things to do, can I suggest Category:All pages needing cleanup? Happy editing. Steve block Talk 17:06, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Gaston Lagaffe: in-universe?Hi Murgh, I just removed the "fiction" parameter from {{comicsproj}} on the talk page of Gaston Lagaffe. I see that you recently updated the parameters of the template on this talk page as well, but didn't change this parameter. If you think the article is still too in-universe, that's fine, but I would recommend using {{in-universe}} on the article itself to indicate this. Cheers, GentlemanGhost 20:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Bordeaux second wine articleHey Murgh, I really think the work you are doing on the Bordeaux wine articles is really awesome and you certainly seem to know you stuff. That's why I want to ask you about what you think about having an article on the Second wines of the Bordeaux chateau. I've been tinkering with the idea for a while but had a hard time finding enough reliable sources to make a worthwhile article. I can find sources that define what a second wine is but I think a really good article on the subject would be more a list noting things like Bahans Haut-Brion is the the second wine of Haut-Brion, De Marbuzet is Cos d'Estournel, La Croix is Ducru-Beaucaillou, etc. What do you think? Is there enough there that would warrant an article? AgneCheese/Wine 14:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaning imagesFYI, when a non-free image is orphaned, it is better to tag it with {{subst:orfud}} rather than merely blanking the page. By tagging it with {{subst:orfud}}, but leaving everything else intact, you (1) automatically queue it for deletion and (2) allow for it to be easily reused should there be a need. --B (talk) 05:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting Talk:VenusThough I'm not sure what to do about creationists on Wikipedia. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just wasting my time trying to counter their arguments, but I think it's best for anyone reading the discussion who might be "on the fence" as regards this lunatic argument to see both sides. Serendipodous 12:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Quick requestIn the future, if you could use {{Film}} instead of {{FilmsWikiProject}}, I'd be very grateful. Although the latter one automatically redirects to the former, it has been deprecated, and we're trying to phase out its usage as task force tagging slowly occurs over the next year or so. Knowing that it's not being added to new articles would put me greatly at ease. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Pics of Lascombes Sr & JrHi Murgh, I just noticed that you had posted Image:Lascombes-grand & second.JPG as an illustration of Second wine. Some time ago, I was thinking about a similar illustration - first and second wine next to each other - and I realised that the only pair where I had a bottle of both was... Château Lascombes! But I soon realised I only had the 1982 and 1983 of the Grand Vin (which I believe have changed label design somewhat since then) and 2003 of the Second Vin, so I didn't do this picture, since I thought it would look strange with such an old wine next to a younger wine. So you can imagine what a laugh I had when I saw your image! :-) Perhaps I should bring one of the youngsters of the 1980s and we can compare with the 1929, and see if it's still drinkable?
New French AOC articlesHey Murgh, I noticed in your sandbox that you have a lot of nifty new French AOC articles in the works. When you transfer a few of them over to mainspace, let me know. There is a lot of good potential DYK material in there. Or you can feel free to nominate them as well. :) AgneCheese/Wine 02:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
New category in Wikimedia CommonsHi, I go here per the instructions over at Commons. I'd just like to draw your attention to the newly created commons:Category:Wine labels which I created to take a dent out of the overcrowding of the commons:Category:Wine bottles (especially when taken together with commons:Category:Winebottles). My intention was that full-bottle images could go into the "old" category while closeups of the labels could go into the new one. And you've probably been the most prolific uploader of such images recently. A lot of old Bx, by the way! Tomas e (talk) 13:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC) (commons:User:Tomas er)

Château Cantemerle
Haut-Médoc (AOC)
MédocHello Murgh, there seems to be some confusion about the AOC Médoc in relation to AOC Haut-Médoc. The AOC Médoc only covers what once was called Bas-Médoc, i.e., the less notable northern part of the Médoc peninsula, but which apparently didn't want to be called "lower...". Thus, Haut-Médoc is not an appellation within AOC Médoc as you wrote in the H-M article. The only AOC which covers the entire Médoc peninsula is AOC Bordeaux (and the other AOCs which follow the same border). To cover the entire area of what is colloquially called Médoc you have to consider AOC Haut-Médoc + AOC Médoc, which do not overlap. If you have the World Atlas of Wine, check their overview map of Bordeaux! I have the second-latest edition (2001, reprinted in 2005), in that one it's on p. 83. Perhaps we need to explain this difference between Médoc (general geographic term and colloquial term for a subregion of Bordeaux) and AOC Médoc clearer in a some of the article? Since you're engaged in editing anything Bordelais with gusto, you're probably the right person to include such pedagogical comments where they belong... Tomas e (talk) 18:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Very interesting reading! As a left bank fan (those days I'm not a Riesling fanatic to the exclusion of everything else, that is), who tends to appreciate Margaux the most, I've noticed that the 1855 classification doesn't say everything. While I've read that Parker has opined something like "ditch the whole thing", I wasn't aware that such a comprehensive attempt at reclassification had been made. Of course, today the probability of achieving a reclassification of Médoc must be much lower than 40-something years ago, considering that the price spread just seems to have increased. Anyway, this article proves just how much interesting wine material that can be added to our 'pedia. Tomas e (talk) 01:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Infobox title parameter apologyHi, I noticed over on Template:Infobox French Winery that you got momentarily tripped up by the change in the meaning of the "title" parameter for {{infobox}} that I just recently implemented.

Oxford CompanionHello Murgh! In the entry on The Oxford Companion to Wine, you included it in the Category:1989 books.

1855 prehistoryHello Murgh, I don't know if you're a happy owner of a copy of Hugh Johnson's The Story of Wine, which I read rather recently. On p. 197-199 (2005 ed), about 1.5 page is devoted to explaining the prehistory of the 1855 classification. Apparently the classification was much more a codification of something that already existed, including many of the terms used. I think it would be interesting to include this material somewhere in our articles. But where? Should the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 article be updated with a history section, or should classification history be added to History of Bordeaux wine? As something of our Bordelais-in-chief, what is your opinion? Tomas e (talk) 20:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Chasse-Spleen & 1855About the intro of Château Chasse-Spleen, which I just stumbled on while browsing through the Start-class articles for C-class candidates. Did the 1855 Classification actually include properties below the 5th cru??? Wasn't the whole Cru Bourgeois thing informal? Also, it seems unencyclopedic to speculate on a reclassification; wouldn't it be better to state something like "in today's wine market it generally trade on par with Fifth growths"? Tomas e (talk)
Confusion on the right bankHello, saw in Decanter that this week, the 1996 StE classification is back after the entire classification seem to be scrapped last week. I've updated the Classification of Saint-Émilion wine article with the information on the legal turns. Since you polished the article's table to its present form, perhaps you'd be interested in finding a suitable way to present both the 1996 and 2006 classifications in the article. Bearing in mind, of course, that neext week something completely different may be valid. :-) Tomas e (talk) 11:05, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

VegaGreetings, I have undone your "undo" and reverted back to a version similar to that of User:24.234.153.69 about Vega. The thing is, according to the article on Qi Xi and to a few other sources I have read, it does happen that once a year, magpies make a bridge so that Vega and Altair can "meet" - probably a reference to the Perseids around that time of the year. I have kept the magpie story outside of the book reference, though. CielProfond (talk) 03:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I was planning to have a go at Bordeaux supérieur as well, but then I started thinking. Separate articles for Bx sec and Bx moelleux (which so far are redlinks) would not really make sense - the are basically the same as white Bx and Bx sup respectively. Also, a lot of info would be repeated between the articles, since there are rather minor differences in official requirements between them. So I was starting to think that we perhaps should put all "generic" Bordeaux AOCs together into one article, with redirects from all individual AOCs. (With the possible exception of Crémant, which should probably go into a Crémant article.) Perhaps Regional Bordeaux AOCs is the best name of such an article; my impression is that generique not is an official term. Thoughts? Tomas e (talk) 14:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Bordeaux picturesHello Murgh, it turned out that the dewiki pictures of Château Margaux were part of a lot of several Bordeaux pictures taken in 2002 and uploaded by the same user in September 2005. I've transferred them all to commons (using the nifty tool CommonsHelper) and categorized them - some were from estates that have enwiki articles, and some of other estates. So far I haven't included them in the articles - I thought I'd leave it to you to choose. The simplest way to find them is probably to check in my user contribution on commons, and focus on today's date. I think you'll be able to find them although I've also transferred and edited some other files. Tomas e (talk) 13:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Château d'Angludet
DYK for Château d'Angludet
AssessmentHello Murgh, I saw that you have reassessed a lot of château articles from mid to low. I just wanted to add that I agree with you, and I noted these overassessments before - but since they were many I never bothered to do anything about them. Being in the 1855 classification means that a separate article is justified, but >low requires something else IMHO. Château Palmer is a case in point - long considered the second finest Margaux and probably standard-setting when Château Margaux was underperforming. Thus, mid seems justified for them as a humble 3me cru. Tomas e (talk) 19:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

--Dravecky (talk) 22:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC) Assistance please: Lagrein article editsHi. I'm a very low tech and inexperienced Wiki user/contributor. As a grape grower and winemaker of Lagrein in Australia I've been attempting to put some of my first-hand knowledge of the variety and relationships with the Australian viticultural players into the Lagrein entry. Your edits and comments have left me somewhat confused and wondered if you could assist me? Given I'm the source of much of the information, how do I reference it? One of my early attempts was to reference my entry to myself with something like 'unpublished notes from viticulturalist and winemaker N. Clark of Amietta'. Then I read that entries should where possible be verifiable. So I instead added some notes to our Amietta website and referenced/linked to those notes. You have subsequently deleted that reference/link: your entry explaining your deletion was that 'amietta.com is a commercial link (click to buy) and can't count as WP:RS'. I haven't been able to find anything in the 'Wiki policies and guidelines' section that precludes linking to a site belonging to a commercial entity - but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place. Yes, the page on the Amietta website where I'd written the notes does have a 'buy wine' link at the bottom of the page, but this just takes you to our 'buy wine' page where you need to click on another link to download an order form. Not likely to suck the credit card from the wallet of the unwary user I wouldn't have thought. I also wasn't sure how having the information on our website made it an unreliable source.
Lagrein once moreHello Murgh. Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I've considered Wiki as a centralised source of credible information rather than an encyclopedic document; also I had only skimmed over the various areas of advice for new contributors. The problem with Lagrein is that there are very few published sources that mention the variety or the wine at all. In history we regard first-hand oral sources as valid, but not apparently in Wiki. Hopefully, the information I provided is of use. Vintage is upon us, so perhaps when the wines are safely in barrel I'll see if I can make any useful additions.

Chef disambiguation
Hi,
if an "esoteric programming language designed by David Morgan-Mar" is considered a relevant disambiguation by you, then why isn't the CHEF-Gel-Method? Just because there is no article about it yet? I was going to write one soon and just made this little entry because I might forget it. Anyway, are there any general rules concerning the relevance of an edit, or was this just an arbitrary decision? Shinryuu (talk) 23:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. No, not arbitrary, just going by WP:MOSDAB, and specifically MOS:DABRL. A DAB entry with a redlink may be fine if it is supplemented by 1 bluelink that gives a directly relevant context of notability. In cases of doubt it is best to wait for an actual article to be in place first, since it is a guide to disambiguate existing articles after all. If you might forget, why not start a draft on your userpage? Cheers, MURGH disc. 23:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, it's good to know that. I edit Wikipedia just once in a while and don't keep track of all the new rules. When I started five years ago I studied all the rules, but back then Wikipedia was still in a state of near anarchy ;-) Shinryuu (talk) 00:03, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- Sure thing. Yes, somewhat more rules and structure has crept in since then. MURGH disc. 00:56, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Peter Suschitzky
(Peter Suschitzky: rv revert 79.81.50.212: good, but please produce WP:RS and don't revert deletion of weasel worded sentence)
Murgh,
My intervention was only intended to rectify a false information contained on Wikipedia.
If you prefer hold on the Wikipedia Site this false information, I cannot do anything more for you.
The mentioned error is reported since several weeks on many sites on the internet and I'm convinsed that the initial author of the article about Peter Suschitzty had no reliable source about the place of his birth.
This problem is exactly the limit of the free encyclopedie.
Nobody had a problem to accept a false information, now you are asking for reliable sources...
Incredible but through!
Good luck!
— Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.81.50.212 (talk • contribs)
- Well I was hoping you would be motivated to put a source to justify the change, since your relationship to the subject can't help Wikipedia per WP:V and WP:RS (and WP:COI), and then there isn't any reason to revert the removal of weasel word sentences. Applying a reliable source and making the fact attributable may not be a difficult to as your note seems to state. The only RS I could find supported the birth place as Warsaw. Feel free to contest the source, on talk page, because if you know a truth that sources have wrong, surely it must be published correctly somewhere. MURGH disc. 00:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Spirou et Fantasio
I like your work on the Spirou et Fantasio albums. Have you read the French versions? I see that we are both Norwegians. I would have written the articles on the remaining albums myself, if I had read the French versions. I hope that you, or someone else, will continue the good work and write the remaining articles! --Oddeivind (talk) 05:41, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you, Odd Eivind. I started on those very motivated by the thought that WP needed the articles, and especially the Franquin work that was so important to me when I grew up, read in Norwegian. As I fell from the albums during the Fournier period and had a revisit with Tome & Janry, this pattern was mirrored when I went through these articles, and I couldn't see myelf finishing the list alone. I found that in making articles especially on the later work it became too tough to find reliable sources, and I didn't just want to start stubs with fiction summaries. I actually do have nearly all of them in French, but unfortunately I'm not that good at the language. I can't see myself writing the remainders unless it is based on good RS, and preferably in English, which to date seems unlikely. MURGH disc. 03:07, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- By the way, maybe you could comment on the nomination for deletion of the article about José Luis Munuera. I was, to put it mildly, pretty surprised to find it nominated for speedy (sic!) deletion! --Oddeivind (talk) 22:00, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- Glad to see the hastily and very inappropriately applied speedy tag was quickly dealt with. Getting that type of reaction with a 3 minute old article is quite annoying, but considering there are several newpage editors who act similarly, there is something to be said for userfying the page first and not putting it into public namespace until the core references are in place. Cheers, MURGH disc. 02:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
COI
Hello Murgh, Yesterday you undid an edit of mine (on the Tyler Colman article). What did you mean by "a COI link"? Fabiena (talk) 19:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Fabiena. The edit you made, which deleted a reference, a WP:RS, replaced it with a blog url, one which has in the past been rather aggressively inserted into wikipedia. The action (with the edsum "Current source", when the existing RS was not outdated) bore resemblance to a series of edits made by several user accounts last year with an agenda to use wikipedia to promote exposure for this blog. These edits were of a WP:COI nature, in addition to being contrary to WP:RS and WP:EL, but there was no reason to assume your edit was COI, so I am sorry about the insinutation in "seemingly replacement w a COI link". Had you not deleted a RS in the process I would have reacted otherwise. MURGH disc. 20:14, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Murgh. Thank you for taking the time to explain. Now I understand what is COI and how you might have thought it was involved in this case. For me a 2005 article is dated for showing notoriety on the Web, but I suppose it is my opinion. Cheers. Fabiena (talk) 16:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Kjell Erik Killi Olsen
Hi Murgh. You recently reverted a change of mine to Kjell Erik Killi Olsen. I appreciate I may not have been 100 percent correct, but I can find no reference to an entity called Kundskolen in Trondheim. I'm sure it should be either be Art Schools, remembering this is an English encyclopaedia, or it should be Kundskole if it is a proper name. Can you help? Jan1nad (talk) 11:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Jan1nad. I reverted that edit as it is a given name not open to translation, and that you couldn't find any references could be down to the above misspelling. Correctly translated "Kunstskolen" is in English "the art school" with a specified article (ie. art school = kunstskole, art schools = kunstskoler), and Kunstskolen i Trondheim is the former name of Kunstakademiet i Trondheim (KIT) prior to 1987,[11] now a faculty under NTNU. Reviewing it, it seems best to alter "Kunstskolen in Trondheim" to its entire name "Kunstskolen i Trondheim". Hope that helps. Cheers, MURGH disc. 16:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- That's great, thanks! Jan1nad (talk) 19:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

The Category tree looks like a smart list and worthwhile endeavour. MURGH disc. 12:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Syrah
Hello, I put back the source I used for some statements on the history of the "corruption" of Syrah to Shiraz. While not an ideal source, it contained details on the evolution that I haven't found elsewhere, such as OCW, and those details fit nicely into an overall picture available in other sources. In this case I feel that it added to a narrative which makes the variety's history more understandable to those other editors and readers who may be inclined to disregard solid facts from DNA analysis and ampelography and forever try to introduce. But I let the "cn" tags remain due to the type of source. Cheers, Tomas e (talk) 21:42, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. I see the temptation with this research, but I feel forum posts by someone I don't know to be published are a very hard sell for RS. Instead, why not apply as references the Google books pages to the actual works that are referred to, such as Journal of a recent visit to the principal vineyards of Spain and France, James Busby (1834), A history and description of modern wines, Cyrus Redding (1836) and Gentleman's Magazine Vol. 156 "History of Wines" (July, 1834)?

If you get a chance will you take a look at Irrigation in viticulture and tell me if anything "catchy" jumps out as a potential hook?

Sommelier entry, re: commercial pitch under Education and certification
First of all, I apologize if the talk entry is in a weird format. I'm new to editing in Wikipedia. What I don't understand is why my entry that expands on Education is considered a commercial pitch, when the current information is basically a commercial pitch--and a monopoly on information--for one education institution among many, The Court of Master Sommeliers. Is it against Wikipedia's policies to expand information to cover more than one instituion in a category? And if so, then how does Wikipeidia decide which institution gets to represent them all? I'd write more about other sommelier training centers if I knew anything about them, but the point of Wikipedia, I thought, is to enable users to input knowledge that they are expert in. Please let me know why my entry keeps getting deleted, but the Court of Master Sommeliers information is fine.
