My Talk Page

This is the talk page of Eagle_101. I now have a linux distro installed!I respond to all comments here, as it becomes difficult to keep up with the volume otherwise; if I believe immediate notice is necessary, I may copy the response to your talk page.
I am an admin on both the english wikipedia (here) and on the meta wiki.
Be sure your request belongs here; most routine requests dealing with permissions (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser stuff) should go to a noticeboard rather than an individual talk page. Disputes between editors, especially content disputes, belong in formal dispute resolution, not here; if you raise them here, I'm just going to say "I don't get involved" and send you to dispute resolution, so save time and head there now.
I archive obsessively, often several times a day; if you do not see a comment you left here, it has probably been archived, please look in my archives. Users are welcome to bring archived discussions back if they have additional comments.
If you left a comment and didn't get a response from me, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, I was busy and forgot to answer; poke me, and I'll be sure to do it. However, if you left a comment that you expected would elicit an angry response, and instead received no response, then I probably didn't forget, I just didn't respond. I reserve the right to archive personal attacks, incivility, or canvassing separately and immediately. Severe instances may simply be deleted.
Others are encouraged to help out and respond to posts here. Plenty of angry and clueless posts find their way here, and to my email; in the vast majority, I find that the writer has misunderstood some difficult aspect of Wikipedia. Though I may seem to have everything under control, I appreciate having others help out and back me up.
I am a VandalProof moderator. If you have problems with VandalProof, please ask.
If you came here because I removed a link that you posted onto Wikipedia. Please read and understand this first.

Auto Lists

Hi, Eagle we have managed to work our way "completely" through the Novels auto list, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Novels/NovelsInCompleteInfobox, and so we are really in need of a refresh. If we can work something out we would be really grateful. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 11:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, some of our editors are champing at the hit for some more work! Are you able to help here. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, ok, I keep forgetting :(. When I get back to my dorm, I will set it up to run, (about 4 hours from now). If all goes well, the run will last 2-5 hours.... it will be up by midnight EST. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 16:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NX Files

If user history is important to you on this one. Check out the history for the guy who nominated it for deletion. Of his 100 edits, the vast majority are votes to delete articles. At best I would describe him as a deletion troll and not someone who is significantly contributing to Wikipedia. --Clausewitz01 00:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still not a valid reason for keep I'm afraid. That article needs some references as to why it is notable. Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 00:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does go to the credibility of his vote. Check my history for veriety and contribution. And I am working on the NX Files page itself in a constructive fashion. Check the sources I have recently added. Links from around the world and in 3 languages talking about it, as well as national newspaper coverage here in Canada.

This is the first ever Martial Arts Webisode series on the net. Others have tried single episodes of martial arts, but never a whole series with multiple seasons like this one.

Keep watching I will add more support to this page.

And just maybe the bunch of the fans that are coming out will get involved as editors in the longer term, everyone needs a reason to start on Wikipedia, maybe this is the reason for these people. There are a lot of very experienced martial artists that are fans of this show, I am sure they could be constructive editors within the subjects of their speciality. --Clausewitz01 01:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There you go, and it wasnt even me that found it. CTV National News covered this on regular TV, and detaile why it is a significant show. Now there has been provided print media examples, as well as Telivision examples. --Clausewitz01 02:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

mmm well I will look in the morning :D. But you might want to reference the article properly, using WP:CITE templates if possible. If you need help with that feel free to ask me. Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 02:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I have taken a first crack at adding sources per the citation guide, with links to the articles on the news webpages as well as a link to where the CTV cast is hosted on Youtube if people would rather watch the cast then read it. Any feedback would be apreciated, I'd like to make sure I am sourcing this properly before I get lost in the shuffle. I am focusing my energy on the main page, if I get that right I can then work on any character pages that are deemed sufficiently notable to keep. --Clausewitz01 23:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy G4

You recently deleted Jean Frye Sidwell under CSD G4 (recreations). I figure that must have been a typo, because the article clearly fit under CSD A7 (but it doesn't fit under G4). I just wanted to make sure you knew that G4 doesn't apply to articles deleted via PROD. In fact, if a PROD'ed article is recreated it should be viewed as a user disputing the proposed deletion and not deleted. Mango juice^talk 04:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, there's a backlog, sorry about that. :( —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 04:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sangreal Sodality

Hi Eagle

Why did you eliminate "Sangreal Sodality" Certainly this is a significant magical order with a well known leader and many books. William Gray is no insignificant figure and Sangreal Sodality has and continues to be a real player internationally I cannot help see this as a very sectarian move

I will look into this, but please do realize I don't appreciate your alluding that I'm part of some "sectarian" group or whatever that is. :P Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 20:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have taken a second look. The article does not demonstrate why that group is important. I don't see any evidence of sourcing or anything. Keep in mind that we are an encyclopedia. If you would like to contest my deletion I would suggest that you take the matter up on our deletion review. Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 20:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOST

When the lost boys get found, often on the side of the road, they are often asking for directions. Directions on posting, syntax, advice on adding to wikipedia... eddykk4@hotmail.com I just created it, as such, a dead address except for this question - here. Lone opportunity to pick up a hitch hiker.

A link. Cars come with a super simplistic user manual. Windows comes with a START button. Linux comes with an easy way to overwrite a system. Wikipedia's start: just mail me a link someone? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.218.61.120 (talk) 10:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

VP 1.31 List of Approvals

I noticed that nobody has been approved for VandalProof since Feb. 2. If you could approve some of us that are waiting, it would be great! Thanks in advance! — Tuvok[^T@lk/_{Improve me}] 22:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Due to program problems, I am unable to work on that list :(. — — Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 03:46, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are there other moderators that can work on the list? — Tuvok[^T@lk/_{Improve me}] 03:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I will ping one for you. Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 03:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I, and the rest of the users who have added themselves over the past few days, thank you wholeheartedly. — Tuvok[^T@lk/_{Improve me}] 03:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Government run company

I am in the process of beginning to add encyclopedic articles on publicly owned Crown Corporations in the province of British Columbia, Canada, and noticed that one of these (Forestry Innovation Investment Ltd.) was hastily deleted a short time ago by this user citing, Csd g.11. None of my additions are advertising, nor I believe can be reasonably construed to be advertising, being publicly owned and run. I simply paraphrase the mandate of the government organization, and am hoping that someone will supplement it in the future. I am re-creating the entry. Thanks--Keefer4 00:22, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Lisboa

Why did you delete Grand Lisboa? Why do you consider the page about a US$300 million brand new casino/hotel opening in Macau this Sunday (11 February 2007) unimportant? If you think this is unimportant, then why don't you go and delete most of the casinos/resorts pages in Las Vegas, too? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ngchikit (talk • contribs) 03:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I will look, but please mind the logical fallacy you just presented above, just becuase one article is deleted does not imply that other articles must be deleted. Cheers! (agian I'm looking at it) —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 03:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have undeleted, I am sorry I was in error. (I have been working on clearing the backlog) —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 03:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of NCIS-episode articles

Hi. You have deleted several pages without looking at them for copyright violation, although they were clearly not, as I wrote them myself. For example Escaped (NCIS) had a extensive plot I wrote myself (as had some of the other episodes of season 4), yet you deleted them based on WP:CSD#g12. I ask you to restore at least those articles which were clearly no copyright-violations because there is no reason for me to continue to write further articles if people just delete them afterwards on false claims. --SoWhy ^Talk 08:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have undeleted that one, sorry about that, but I was given a list of over 80 such articles, all were edited and or created by one user. If there are others that I deleted that should not be deleted, let me know. ;) —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 16:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is the problem, the user took a glance at some, tried to annoy us a bit and then filed the request to delete them all. I would've appreciated if you had not done so so fast but rather opened discussion about it. Unfortunately now that you did so, I cannot find out, which ones I created, those where all self written. If you could have a look at those deleted of season 4 (all those aired after "Escaped") and restore them, there were some with really much text deleted due to this annoyance. Next time, we all should try to discuss it and try to clear up the articles instead of mass-deleting just every article. On the same problem a couple of articles created not by me but by another user who did not copy+paste from TV.com were amongst those deleted. --SoWhy ^Talk 18:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the article was created on copyrighted materials, we are sorta forced to delete, I will check all those past Escaped. If any were deleted in error, I will undelete and list here. Cheers! P.S. Please do give me some time, this is not going to be quick :( —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 20:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Singled Out (NCIS), Faking It (NCIS), Dead and Unburied (NCIS), Witch Hunt (NCIS)... basically I undeleted all the season 4 episodes. The other ones are copyright violoations. I'm sorry for lumping all of them into one group. Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 20:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately only a big bunch of them were. User:Lizzie Harrison swears that all those created by her (those are before season 4) were neither such copy+paste articles, because she claims she never even heard of TV.com [1]. I fear there is another bunch to restore, if you are able to locate all those created by her. Thanks for restoring mine btw. --SoWhy ^Talk 20:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, if you can get her(?) to tell me what article or articles I should be looking at, please do so... otherwise I'm going to be spending hours looking at undelete logs... they can be a royal pain... its not as easy as just navigating to a page :(. Thanks! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 21:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it's hard for normal editors to do so because once deleted the pages disappear from the contributions list. I could tell you mine because I knew I did all those for the new season but Lizzie might not know afterwards. If there is no way to check the undelete logs for who created an article, maybe you could just restore all of them, then I would take my time on Saturday and go through all of them, removing the copyright-violations. It would be a load of work, that's true, but at least the layout would already be in place and easier than to identify those wrongly deleted (my guess is that only 50% of those deleted really were copyvios). --SoWhy ^Talk 08:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can remember that I made Ice Queen, Meltdown, Yankee White, Hung out to dry, Seadog, Bete noire, See no evil, The good wives club, Hiatus, Kill Ari. I did some more but I can not remember.Lizzie Harrison 10:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will dig around. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 16:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Digging

Ok I am working on this step by step, So far

Kill Ari (NCIS) is a (CSD g12), was a blatant copyright violation of tv.com.
Ice Queen (JAG) has since been recreated as a non-copyrighted page.
Meltdown (JAG) has since been recreated as a non-copyrighted page.
Yankee White (NCIS) has been restored.
Hung Out to Dry (NCIS) has been restored.
Seadog (NCIS) is a (CSD g12), was a blatant copyright violation of tv.com.
The Immortals (NCIS) is a (CSD g12), was a blatant copyright violation of tv.com.
Bête Noire (NCIS) is a (CSD g12), was a blatant copyright violation of tv.com.
The Good Wives Club (NCIS) Most of this was a copyright violation, but I was able to find a few versions that were not, and selectively restored them. The copyright violation was from tv.com.
See No Evil (NCIS) Again most of this was a copyright violation, especially more recent edits, again from tv.com. I restored non-copyright versions of the page.
Hiatus (NCIS) Most was a copyright violation, especially more recent edits, Agian from tv.com. I restored good versions of the page. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 17:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did those, I will look up more if you guys remember creating and or modifying parts of them. My log can be found at this page. It is fairly close to where I did the deletions. I will have a look at anything that you guys ask for. On a related note, these articles could do with some citations from reliable sources. Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 17:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since when do articles of already aired episodes need sources? The episodes themselves are the primary source, are they not? WP:V states that sources are needed for material challenged or likely to be challenged. Otherwise tons of articles about movies and episodes would need them, won't they?

Apart from that, thanks for restoring those articles, as I pointed out before at least half of them were not or not completely copyvios which had to be deleted. Unfortunately, some users are over-enthusiastic. --SoWhy ^Talk 18:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It never hurts to cite multiple independent sources about a movie, TV show, ect. There are plenty of news, and other related material to grab at :D —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 18:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Hughes (GAA)

Please undelete this article, Kevin Hughes (GAA), as notability was asserted by the Templates included in the article. I had not got round to actually filling in the copy. also, it was speedied by an anon user, which surely must ring alarm bells for an admin??--Macca7174 10:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that you create the article in your userspace, Say at User:Macca7174/Kevin Hughes (GAA). Make sure that that particular version that you write meets the A7 criteria, then post into mainspace. If you need help with anything feel free to ask. But that article was a very short stub that does not assert the notability of the subject. Would you like me to undelete the current version to your userspace? Again, if you need help, I'm willing to help you out! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 16:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics links

What is the issue with external links to song lyrics (e.g. [2])? Is it copyright, advertising, sth else? — AjaxSmack 11:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its copyright. Have a look at this. Cheers. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 16:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you find lyrics on the artists official website or an official fan club site (one you can prove to be official), feel free to link those in (in moderation of course). -- Heligo land 18:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll avoid adding such links in the future.

Not to argue with you but the court ruling cited mandates that you "not post...addresses to websites that [you] know, or have reason to know, contain...material alleged to infringe...copyright." Certainly, I now know but I didn't before and (reasonably) believed that the widespread, sustained existence of such pages showed, ipso facto, their legality.

Furthermore, enforcement of national mandates is fine but it can a slippery slope -- e.g., linking to the official website of Falun Gong is likely in violation of Chinese law. (And Wikipedia was blocked for a time in China precisely for these types of reasons.) But enforcement of only US laws is rather arbitrary and gives the appearance that Wikipedia is an arm of the US regime. Preferably, Wikipedia should link to anything and let the US or other regimes enforce their own laws.

Nonetheless, your work is appreciated if accomodating US authorities is what is required for Wikipedia to exist. — AjaxSmack 18:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clark Kennington

I would like to appeal the deletion of Clark Kennington. The person passes the notability requirement in that the person is a key figure in a published book 1984 Scots: Team with a Heart: Highland Park Football by Creath Davis, author of over 12 published works. The person is iconic of an important mythos surrounding Texas High School Football, as evidenced by such books as Friday Night Lights, a book, later turned into a movie, about a the Odessa Permian Panters, a football team with a storied reputation similar to the Highland Park Scots.— Preceding unsigned comment added by clarkenn (talk • contribs)

“

Clark Kennington was the starting tight end for the 1984 Highland Park Scots, a team memorialized in the book, The Team with Heart: 1984 Scots: Highland Park Football, written by Creath Davis. Clark's clutch play during the playoffs was a major reason for the Team's success, and was an important focus of the book. Notably, Clark made several important catches at crucial points in several playoff games, enabling the Team with Heart to keep their playoff drive alive. The dream came to an end in Odessa, Texas, where the Scots lost in the state semi finals to eventual state co-champion Odessa Permian Panthers, another high school football team made famous in the book, Friday Night Lights, which later was turned into a movie. What was notable about the game against Odessa Permian was that the community of Highland Park rallied around its team and chartered nine airplanes to transport the entire community to the game.

”

That is the content of that page. If he is indeed notable in an encyclopedia, probably would be best for it to go into the article about the book, or series of books. If you still want to contest this, I would suggest dropping by our deletion review. :D Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 18:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Joe siudzinski blanking

I don't remember exactly, but the only reason I blank pages is to remove offensive language, usually sexually explicit. Wake 03:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: making it hard for the admin. I guess I should have realized you have to spend more effort when the page is blanked. My thinking was to keep the trash from public view, but since you guys do a great job jumping on this stuff it's not in view very long. I won't blank any more. Thanks for being an admin, I wouldn't have near enough time. Wake 03:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

League of Copyeditors

Dear Cleanup Taskforce member,

I'm a member of the League of Copyeditors, a project dedicated to managing the sizable backlog of articles needing a copy-edit. We're always looking for new members, and you'd make a great addition to the project! We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you're interested, you can help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the ready for final proofread section.
Select a different article to proofread from the ready for final proofread section.

Thanks, and happy editing! BuddingJournalist 07:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Burning Rain

Earlier today, I tagged Burning Rain for deletion under WP:CSD#A7 and you deleted it. I find out now that it is a notable band because the guitarist is a member of Whitesnake which makes him and any band he's in notable. The article has since been recreated. Is it possible to restore the deleted article on top of the current article, to merge those two versions? Wodup 08:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done, I leave the merging to someone else, but it is undeleted. Cheers! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 16:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Word of thanks for Eagle 101
Good morning (GMT time); I'd like to thank you for supporting, opposing, taking a neutral stance to, closing, suggesting I close or otherwise contributing to my recent RfA; unfortunately, I felt that although there were more support than oppose votes, the weight of the latter was too great for me to accept the promotion with so many not trusting me with the janitor's trolley -

I therefore decided to end my nomination prematurely. The feedback I received was invaluable, and I am striving to start afresh with all of the advice my fellow Wikipedians offered. In order to meet the aim of adapting to your advice, I've drew up a list of aims (located here) which I intend to follow from this point onwards.

If you have any further advice or comments for me, don't hesitate to post me a message

at my talk page where it will be graciously and humbly accepted. Once again, thank you and I do hope to bump into you around the encyclopedia!

Regards,

Telefanatic.com

Hi Eagle, not sure if I'm in the right place or not. If you are not the right person to speak about this question, please reply me here with the name of the right person / mailbox where I have to write to solve this problem. I was informed through my site about the block of my domain: Telefanatic.com. I don't think I deserve to stay in the international wiki black list if a stupid user used my domain to spam. I'm one of the webmistress of this site and I ask you to delete my domain in the black list. Telefanatic.com is not a porn site or something like that, it's an editorial portal dedicated to serials. Sincerly I don't think it has be listed as a spam or porn site as the others. So please, delete it. Thanks in advance for your reply and I hope that this situation can be solved asap.
