Basque page

Dont worry, I wasnt insulted or anything, i just saw the word "hillbillies" as unensyclopedic and unneccesary for the sentence considering it alreay talked about them being mountain people. --Joebengo 23:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding and wikifying

Sorry about the slow response! By all means edit any article in any way that will improve it. You can certainly add people you know, but be careful that the article is neutral and not a Conflict of interest. The best way to avoid any problems is to cite your sources. See WP:RS. You cannot put in information told to you directly by the article subject. It has to have been published in a reliable source. Again, sorry I took so long! Your note did not have its own header and I thought it was part of another message. You can start a new section by hitting the + sign in the tabs above. Jokestress 00:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure that the source for the statement on David Standish Ball's opinion on same-sex unions is properly sourced, i.e., it is from Integrity, the LGBT group within the ECUSA, which is (properly) biased (I am a member). Should I remove that statement and sourcing as POV?

Sandi and the Sunsetz

In case it's deleted later, here's today's info on this page:

Sandii & the Sunsetz - Japanese band -- This looks like a good article -- can anyone tackle it? If not, I'll try on/after 3/30/07.Bearian 18:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll start, but please do add to it when you can. Pkeets 03:07, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I started, but was victim to a speedy delete. There's still no page for them. Pkeets 13:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Why was this article deleted? Bearian 18:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I saved it before it was complete, and it had a some text that was copyright infringement in it. Also, there was a comment that it lacked in "notability." However, I've worked this out with Centrix and you can now find it safely in place. Check it out and see what you think: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandii_and_the_Sunsetz Pkeets 22:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SUNY New Paltz

Hey man - nice edits.

The only thing I was calling "vandalism" was the removal of legit text, such as the link to WikiPaltz. I know that you did not do any of this.

One thing I notice about your edit: Poskanzer was Vice Provost, not Counsel, when he worked at SysAdmin. RadicalHarmony 19:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, I think his title was Vice Provost, but he was really SUNY Central high legal advisor, counsel, and potentate. :-) 20:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Visual Kei bands

Hi, B. Hi, I've written some articles on Visual Kei bands that are in danger of deletion for lack of proper references. If you read Kanji, could you help find me some? Here are the links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missalina_Rei http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliene_Ma%27riage

Here's another I didn't write that also seems in danger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noir_Fleurir

Also, I see complaints that "notability" has not been established, which would be evidence of national hits, national or international tours, awards, etc. I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.Pkeets 21:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I can't read Kanji. But I'll see if I can help. I'll cross-post this comment on your page. Bearian 23:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia College

Hi. In case you haven't seen it, I've replied to your comment on my talk page and suggested that any further discussion should be on the article's talk page. Smalljim 22:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sandii & the Sunsetz at Visual Kei

Hi, B. I notice you're put Sandii and the Sunsetz in the Visual kei list. I think they seriously predate the Visual kei movement. Do you think this is a better list for them? List of J-pop artists Pkeets 13:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done today. Bearian 18:38, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dealing with vandals

Thanks for checking in on this. Vandals can be very annoying, but we have ways to deal with them. You can read about the policy here: Wikipedia:Vandalism. Be sure to read about types of vandalism and what isn't vandalism.

After you correct vandalism, warn the editor on their talk page. We have a bunch of templates for warnings that you can use. If you copy this:

{{subst:test1}} ~~~~

You can paste that onto an editor's talk page for a template. I usually make a new topic heading with the name of the article for reference. If they vandalize after the first warning, change "test1" to say "test2." Using "test4" is a final warning, so use 1, 2, or 3 first. If you have warned people repeatedly on their talk pages, you can report them here. Please note that you have to have warned them according to policy before reporting them here.

Once you have more experience, there are even special tools you can sign up to use that let you automatically revert and warn vandals. It sounds complicated, but you can revert and warn a vandal in seconds after a while. Let me know if you have other questions! Jokestress 01:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The previous block expired and the IP editor returned to vandalize, so the IP editor has been blocked a second time. If they persist, they may be indefinitely blocked. Jokestress 20:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have accidently failed to log in, and edited articles from, IP 71.245.156.223 ... which means I can be traced to Bryant and Stratton ... which means I need to declare my potential conflict with editing that article. OOOPS. Bearian 23:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization

Hello. I've moved your question to a new thread at the end of my talk page. Thanks, Clicketyclack 08:06, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Granata - hangon tag

Just a tip -- the {{hangon}} tag means that you are objecting to an article's being tagged for *speedy* deletion. The Kevin Granata article is not so tagged -- it's at AFD instead. The hangon tag is unnecessary for AFD'd articles, because AFD debates are supposed to last a minimum of five days. All the hangon tag does is make the page show up at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, where it doesn't belong. Thanks, NawlinWiki 19:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD: Tim Bowles

In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Bowles (fourth nomination), you supported deletion and listed as one of your reasons as "no other clients, as far as I can tell". I have updated the article with a list of some of his firm's clients (with several wikilinks to them) and was wondering if this is closer to what you were looking for?

Do you have access to web of science or shall I get the citation counts? Isn't strictly necessary with that many papers but it cant hurt. DGG 06:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Browne

Sorry, mate, I don't really know where one would link him from. My main (current) interest on here is former countries, I just happened to be looking him up after reading the NOL article. And "some court in London" just pissed me off ;o) — OwenBlacker 20:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Young Digital Planet

Why do you find this article sounding as an advertisment? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Digital_Planet Why do you think it is not neutral? I can find many articlces in Wikipedia which describe direclty "exceptional; unique" features, services, etc. and they do not get tagged. Examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard_Inc ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Machines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod - prices shown —The preceding unsigned comment was added by YDP (talk • contribs) 08:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fechnerian Pschophysics

"speculative" is not a reason for speedy--the best course for this article might be if you were to submit it to AFD. I've removed the tag.DGG 18:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Total permanent disability insurance

The edit performed by Magnus animum is this one; he was merely reverting some vandalism to the page. What portion of the edit history of that page were you taking issue with, exactly? Jouster  (whisper) 21:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Total_permanent_disability_insurance

This did warrant a revert, but I am glad that you are writing articles — unlike myself ☺ ~ Magnus animuM Brain Freeze! 22:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for external links in Sigmund Spaeth article

Thanks for adding the external links I had put on Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music to the Sigmund Spaeth article. Cheers! --Lph 15:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moving content to user pages

Hi there! See Wikipedia:User_page#How_do_I_create_a_user_subpage.3F for the basics. Usually, I am absolutely certain an article is an autobiography that will probably be deleted, I will move it to (as an example) User:Bearian, making sure to to erase anything that's already there. However, I believe the safest bet is to move it to User:Bearian/Sandbox. To create that page, go to their User page, type "/Sandbox" right after their Username in the URL, then paste the content you wish to move into the box and hit save. Be sure to let them know the new address and why you did it on their talk page. If the content has anything inappropriate (such as an attack on an editor or libel about an article subject), you may wish to edit that out and make a note of it, too.

Glad I could help! Jokestress 03:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT Project To Do list

Hi, Bearian! I noticed your edits to the LGBT to do list. Just FYI, that list is automatically generated every night, so if the article in question has a cleanup tag, it will be put on the list. Thanks for your help! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 02:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just as an added note, there's no need to actually add to the "to do" list, since it's automatically generated every night :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Entries

Hi Bearian. Thanks for your advice regarding my contributions. If you feel my entries are inappropriate or slanted, please delete or edit them. Thank you. --Horntz 18:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About the article Duane Otani

Hello. Sorry, I am not Duane Otani. I'm a newbie student who's just trying to learn how to make Wikipedia articles. I thought I had to register a username under his name because I thought that was going to be a title of the article. Otani is my music teacher, so I thought it would be a load of fun creating an article about someone I know. Also, I was still learning how to maintain a neutral point of view, without using any first person or second person pronouns. So far, I thought I was good at editing, and I thought I could make a great article. I'm sorry I posted resumes; I didn't really read thoroughly through the sources. I thought those pages were those references. And I had no intent on advertising either. So, again, sorry for my big mistake. I'm not going to edit the article any further, so you can delete it if you need it. Thanks for reading. 5/29/07

About the article Duane Otani

I understand and am aware about the fact that anybody else can edit articles (I've edited to a few other articlees so far). I already saw another person edit the article. On to my question:

How do I do anything to make the article more "notable"? I do use search engines for sources to prove the facts are true, but I know there are other ways. Can I please have more tips? Thanks!

Edit: Random question: Are you one of the Wikipedia staff members? I see you have the power to put up tags delete articles, and monitor almost about anything on this site.

Duane Otani student. 23:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have exactly the same powers as he has. It is a case of how you use them. ArtLit 14:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Meltzer article

Can you tell me in detail (with specific examples) why you put those tags on my article? ArtLit 15:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment on my talk page does not answer my question to specify in detail your objections to my article. You describe yourself there as an 'experienced editor' but I note you have been contributing for 4 months. I have been editing and writing for books and professional journals for 26 years.
The way you have wikified the article I wrote shows you do not understand the purpose of the words and have not even checked the links, one of which is red.  Eg, 'supervisor' in the article refers to an academic supervisor not to a factory supervisor as in the Wikipedia entry under that heading; ‘the Tavistock’ refers to the Tavistock Insitute as already linked, not to the town in Devon.  Wikipedia guidelines for making links are: "If I were reading the article, would the link be useful to me?"  On that basis I have reverted your links apart from the date link for which there is a special guideline, and I have retained the original links I put in, which would actually help a new reader to get a grasp of the subject. This is the function of any encyclopaedia. The article will look less wikified but the links will actually be meaningful.
  • You say you are worried about the effect on a 'possibly uneducated public'. At the top of your own user page is a non-grammatical and meaningless sentence. Perhaps you should edit your own work more carefully before correcting other people's on behalf of the non-educated.

Put me down with the others on your list of people (are they all professional women writers?) with whom you have a personal conflict of interest. ArtLit 14:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tags

At Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts, the various tags you put on the article make absolutely no sense. There can be no conflict of interest, as it is is a fictional martial arts school that appears in a Japanese TV series. There are multiple references that verify the information within the article. Additionally, notability is covered as it meets the notability guidelines for fiction. As such, I have removed these tags you placed on the article. Unless I am missing something here, tell me why the tags were necessary.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Immigration law

I'm almost inclined to nominate it for deletion. Right now the article really doesn't say anything. It's hard to write general articles on topics that are so inherently national. I did see that it's part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Law, so I've added it to their "to do" list. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 01:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
