Jetpack (computer game)

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Jetpack (computer game), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Dab formatting

As I'm going through your recent edits, I see you have been formatting disambiguation page entries with a colon:

Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) shows the use of a comma instead, and this is how I have always seen it done:

Sorry to berate you with style issues, but it seems to me it takes far less work to do things right (in this case right meaning internally consistent) the first time, so I'm letting you know for future reference. — Swpb talk contribs 16:21, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Dude, whats your problem?

I'm working here! What is your problem?

  • Sorry, Anthony, the above comment wasn't from me. I have your talk and user pages watchlisted (I don't recall why) and I encountered Wroehl blanking your talk and user pages. I reverted, and then he left the above message with a personal attack in it. I removed the personal attack, and forgot to add the {{subst:unsigned2}} for his comment. He's apparently irked about something that got deleted. I have no idea what, since his talk page didn't have anything on it from you. (It was Alex Roehl, which you deleted, although it was evidently tagged by someone else). I had a discussion with him about NPA, notability and civility. You can see our interactions both on my talk page and his. Please contact me if you have any more questions. Cheers! Flyguy649talkcontribs 01:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me clean up my mess. The redirects that need to be cleaned up are: Template:WikiProject Marching band/Userboxes/project member, Template:Wikipedia:WikiProject Marching band/Userboxes/project member, and User WikiProject Marching band. -- Upholder 22:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Guru Granth Sahib

That large section you moved to Hindu influence on the Guru Granth Sahib appears to be a copyvio of this page. I took a quick look at the version of Guru Granth Sahib prior to the date of the topix.net post and did not see the material, so I am thinking it was added later. I have tagged Hindu influence on the Guru Granth Sahib as a copyvio. If you disagree, please feel free to revert my tag or recreate the article. Thanks! -- But|seriously|folks  18:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Magnecule

However, both the references on the page are Santilli's own work. No reliable secondary sources at all. Also "magnecule" only gets 113 unique Ghits [1] many of which are irrelevant. Since it's referenced and explained in Santilli's article, isn't this article somewhat redundant? EliminatorJR Talk 11:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Dattatreya Laxman Patwardhan

I edited the information so it is now a stub and verifiable. Could you remove the speedy delete marker on this? There are no Google hits, (which is what I think no ghits means), but this is new information on the web, as most of the information was derived from Marathi sources, with references to very old English publications. Niketkp 16:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Dab pages

A few more style issues with dab pages (you should really read over WP:MOSDAB): strive to include only one navigable link per entry, do not include external links on dab pages, do not include periods at the end of entries, and group "see also" entries into a separate section at the end. Also, entries should not usually contain the word "is", as in "Entry is a blah", but rather a comma, as each entry can be thought of as completing the sentence "Term can refer to ... entry, a blah". If you have a problem with these style precedents, bring it up on the talk page. Again, just trying to save some work by getting things right the first time. — Swpb talk contribs 21:23, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Removal of Promisance

I don't believe deleting the article on promisance was necessary, as i found it useful, and would otherwise have been unable to find resources on promisance. i would like to request it either be undeleted, or that you could post the links contained withing that page on my userpage so i could find the resources regarding promisance again Rainfall10110 07:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

James Warner's page

About my article I wrote

I recently wrote an article about a website called fanpop.com, I then got an email from one of the staff at fanpop.com saying this: -

"Thanks for posting this. I did see it when it was up and it looked pretty good"

I then checked Wikipedia and the article had been deleted

I rather obviously have permission for creating that article and I did not write any incorrect information so I do not see any reason why it was deleted; could you please tell me why. 15:24, 8 July 2007 User:James Warner

Must have been called fanpop (without the .com bit)

21:48, 5 July 2007 Anthony Appleyard (Talk|contribs) deleted "Fanpop" (content was:' {{db-web}} Fanpop (http://www.fanpop.com/) is a website made by Dave Lu, Dave (aka Papa), Cliff and Michael. It is network of user-generated fansite...')"

A Simple Heart Redirection

I found the "A Simple Heart" redirection to be useful. I read a lot of the Wikipedia guidelines and it said if someone thinks a redirection is useful then it probably is, even though it may not be to you, and if it is useful to someone then it is not a candidate for deletion, certainly not speedy deletion.

Ultimate Chicken Grill

Hello, I saw that this page (Ultimate Chicken Grill) I created was deleted. I would like to know why this is. All information on the page was properly sourced, and accurate. There was no disputable content. Everything is verifiable against the Wendy's website. If this is because it is about a product, there was nothing that was not NPOV, and there are many articles on food products.

Please see Category: Wendy's foods Which is a cateogry that I am working to broaden on Wikipedia. There are many articles on foods from McDonald's, Burger King etc.

Thanks in advance for your response! --Nenyedi TalkDeeds@ 23:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

To point to a category, write it as e.g. [[:Category:Wendy's foods]] with an extra colon at the start, not with nowiki codes.

Space Patrol

Hi. Sorry about that, I thought you hadn't seen the dablink at the top of the page. It appears there needs to be another dablink up there, and I'm not sure we need to disambiguate both shows called Space Patrol. Is one the primary topic? -GTBacchus(talk) 20:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Alan West histmerge not complete?

Hi Anthony. I still don't see the history of the old Alan West article from before 9 July. It's not in either the old or the new article. I assume it would normally get moved (or copied) to be under the new one? Thanks, EdJohnston 22:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

R.S. Promotion

Would you please restore the article about RS Public Company Limited? Like GMM Grammy and Sahamongkol Film International, it is one of the larger entertainment companies in Thailand. It isn't spam. It was a good faith effort by an unbiased editor to expand English Wikipedia's coverage about Thailand and businesses in Thailand. Thank you! — WiseKwai 02:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I just want to add that the article R.S. Promotion had a lot of links, which are now disrupted because of this deletion. — WiseKwai 05:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring RS Public Company Limited. I can see why it was deleted and why it fell off my radar during my wikibreak. It was improperly moved from R.S. Promotion after a lot of problematic changes were made by another editor. The current name is more correct. What I hope to accomplish is to revert the contents to an earlier, less-spammy version of R.S. Promotion, but under the new name. Some admin magic will need to be worked to properly merge the article histories. Thanks for your help. — WiseKwai 07:50, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again! That's got it. — WiseKwai 08:22, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Requested Moves - Layla

  • Two associated moves relating to "Layla" were placed on the requested move page on 9 July and immediately moved into the incomplete section for lacking a discussion area on a talk page. You have now carried out those moves without there ever being any discussion. Surely that isn't how the RM page should work ? -- Beardo 03:58, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

History of the People's Republic of Bulgaria history move

  • The move of the article to "History of Communist Bulgaria" is abusive and ignores the more common name (as shown by Google Books and Google Scholar). I thought Admins checked the new title before completing a request... Moreover, no double redirects were fixed.Anonimu 07:02, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • That depends on whether this or that reader considers the word "Communist" to be abusive. I here in England have seen many times such expressions as "In Communist times in nation XXX, YYY happened." without it being intended to be abusive or politically loaded. Anthony Appleyard 08:31, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Isn't wiki based on npov and most common names? The new article title respects neither (according to marxist, trotskyist and other left wing movements, calling Eastern European countries "communist" is an insult to the communist ideology; note also that no Eastern European country, Soviet Union included, ever proclaimed itself a communist state). BTW, "communist regime", "communist party rule", "communist government" (all apply to Bulgaria in 1945-1989) doesn't necessarily imply "communist country" or "communist society" (which Bulgaria never was).Anonimu 12:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • In Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen I found this entry: "History of the People's Republic of Bulgaria was cut & pasted to History of Communist Bulgaria. History of Communist Bulgaria needs most of the history merged from History of the People's Republic of Bulgaria. Biruitorul 01:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)", so I obeyed it.
  • We seem also to have run into another UK/USA spelling difference. Most times "Communist" is written in Britain, it has a capital C, and "communist" without a capital C seems to me to be a specifically USA spelling. Anthony Appleyard 14:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • So, you say that if I'd moved the article about Soviet Union to "The Evil Empire" and then I'd ask the merger of history on that page, someone would do it? Anonimu 16:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Someone, perhaps. I would likely have histmerged if necessary, and then moved it back to Soviet Union with edit comment "rv vandalism" or similar. We seem to be back to whether the word "Communist" is to be treated as merely an NPOV descriptor or as politically loaded. British and USA attitudes towards Communism seem to differ: for example, in British newspapers it always has a capital C. Anthony Appleyard 16:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Then what's the use of having humans do this operation? Since this merging of history is based only on request, I think a bot would be perfect for this job. Or maybe even a minor change of the software to allow the merging of history every time an article is moved. As i've said, "communist" in NPOV only in some collocations ("c. party", "c. regime", "c. government"), but it's certainly not in "c. x-country" (except the case when x-country claims to be communist, thing that never happened in Europe, and probably in the World). Also, I thought the title of an article should be the most common name of that subject.Anonimu 17:22, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Whether this page ends up with the name History of the People's Republic of Bulgaria or the name History of Communist Bulgaria, the histmerge needed to be done to repair after the cut-and-paste move that someone made. The edit comments in the history of the page History of Communist Bulgaria give an impression of edit war. After all that trouble, User:Biruitorul's edit comment at 01:21 on 11 July 2007 said "Just stop. Let's use the common, simpler name and use our time more productively.". Anthony Appleyard 21:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I could have agreed with his comment... only if that wasn't a lie... the more common name (as used in the scientific world -Google Books & Scholar- not on personal blogs and forums) is "People's Republic of Bulgaria".Anonimu 08:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Please do not slander me by implying I am a liar. Biruitorul 06:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Anthony! A category on a redirect? Absolutely! What's wrong with that? I've been using this technique quite extensively in order to produce overviews such as these:

The first one has some redirects, while the last two consist mostly of redirects. In this manner it's possible to provide very effective overviews that would otherwise be rather awkward to manage. --Jwinius 23:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Komodo dragon...

Hi anthony. Did you add this:

Sungai, a Komodo Dragon at London Zoo, laid a clutch of eggs in early 2006 after being separated from males for more than two years. Scientists initially assumed that she had been able to store sperm from her earlier encounter with a male, an adaptation known as superfecundation.

Question about combining two templates

I am wanting to conbine the templates for the Elkins/Buckhannon/Weston (in WV) area and Morgantown/Clarksburg/Fairmont (also in WV). The two markets are so close and no one in Elkins considers Elkins it's own market. Most, if not all, of the stations in the Elkins/Buckhannon/Weston area can been heard in Morgantown/Clarksburg/Fairmont and vice versa.

If I do combine them, do I need the histories of the two templates transfer to the one I am making or is it fresh slate? - NeutralHomer T:C 07:59, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • What are the names of those two templates? What name do you want for the new combined template? (I am British and I know little about West Virginia.)
Mixing the edit histories of two pages which before that were edited independently in parallel, is NOT a good idea.
Anthony Appleyard 21:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
The current names are {{Morgantown Radio}} (which covers Clarksburg and Fairmont) and {{Elkins-Buckhannon-Weston Radio}} (which covers the rest of the area).
The new name would be "North-Central West Virginia Radio". The area where all these towns are is called "North-Central West Virginia" and is often used in branding for stations.
Now, there are a couple stations that would fall into a new category, "Central West Virginia", but I can make a template for them.
Sorry for the West Virginia confusion. Take Care and Have a Good Weekend...NeutralHomer T:C 22:18, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

The Gardner School Deleted

Ra mes ses

{{hangon}}


The modern archaeology you deleted and replaced with the outdated 18th and 19th century speculations should be rstored. If you disagree, please give sources and cites for the Capital of Egypt being in the delta rather than at Thebes in the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.

Exodus 1:7-14 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

I can understand your confusion if Ancient Egypt isn't something you have studied intensively. In the 19th century archaeologists made speculations about Pithom and Ramesses being the places mentioned in the story of the Exodus. These have since been corrected at the level of trained Egyptologists, but the myths have lived on among some "biblical archaeologists" and laypeople.

See Baines and Malek,1987, Atlas of Ancient Egypt, Equinox, ISBN 0-87196-334-5 Pi-Riamsese 166,175,177, removal of capital to, 46, 84, 166.

Under San el-Hagar

...the temple is a mass of inscribed and decorated blocks, columns, obelisks and statues of various dates, some of them even bearing the names of rulers of the old and middle kingdoms (Khufu, Khepren Teti, Pepi I and II, Senwosret I), However the majority of the inscribed monuments are connected with Ramesses II and this led P. Monet, the greatest expert on the Tanis monuments to believe this was the site of the ancient Pi-Ramesses, the delta capital of the Ramesids. Nevertheless none of the buildings so far excavated can be shown to have been built before the reign of Pausanes I of the 21st Dynasty and the inescapable conclusion therefore is that all the ramessidand earlier monuments must have been brought from other places.

Under Tell el-maskhuta

In 1883 E. Neville excavated a large brick built enclosure (some 210 x 210 m) with a badly damaged temple at Tell el-maskhuta, in wadi tumilat. (In the late period a canal through this wadi enabled ships to sail from the Nile into the Red Sea) Most scholars, though not all, identify Tell el-maskhuta with ancient Egyptian Tjeku and Pithom, (probably from per-Atum, The "Domain of Athom") of the Exodus and the capital of the Eighth Lower Egyptian nome.

Pithom is an ancient city in Egypts delta. Its mentioned in Exodus as a treasure city in the same breath as Ramesses. You would have to know that from the Hyksos period onward there are emporia in both the delta and Thebes. In the delta cities like Sais served as "Treasure cities" business or banking centers. At Thebes Elim on the Red Sea also served as a business or banking centers for the Red Sea trade in Frankincense, Myhr, bitumen and the perfumes and ointments used at Karnak's mortuary temples.

Pithom and Rameses are located at opposite ends of the kingdom.

If you want to go with the myth perpetuated by P. Monet and E. Neville the basic problem is that following the stations list its clear the Exodus crosses the Red Sea between Elim and Elat. Elim, the sixth station, is Thebes Red Sea port. Elat, the ninth station is at the head of the gulf of Aqaba. There are no stations in the Sinai. The Exodus is dated to the 18th and not the 19th Dynasty. The route from Egypt to Elat across the Sinai doesn't exist.

The term "Red Sea" is Greek (Erythrian Sea) not Hebrew. The term "Yam Suph" or reed Sea is speculation on speculation. The Pharoah of the Exodus is not Ramesses, thats another speculation.

Before you delete the page Ra Mes Ses you should address these objections. Rktect 01:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Trafford Park

Thanks for correcting the location of Trafford Hall earlier today.

I've been wondering for a while about this statement in the article, so that the Governance section can be filled in: "1939: World War II started. Trafford Park became a borough."

I know that in 1907 an application was made to Lancashire County Council to make Trafford Park an urban district in its own right, but that was turned down. Was this reference to the borough something you added, or do you have any kind of reference for it? --Malleus Fatuarum 21:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

    • I'd already seen that link, but it doesn't seem to be very authoritative, and neither does it say that Trafford Park became a borough in 1939. Are there no other references to the borough of Trafford Park? --Malleus Fatuarum 22:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

You seem to be determined to begin some kind of revert war on this article over your view that it should be presented as a list. Please have some respect for the views of other editors who do not share that view. The WP:MOS quite clearly deprecates lists in articles like this one. If you disagree with that style guideline, then the discussion on the MOS is the place to take that matter up. --Malleus Fatuarum 08:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Healthways (medical company) and company articles in general

I have been contributing to a number of existing articles on Nashville-based businesses lately, and I intend to add a number of new ones. One I hope to add would be on Healthways Inc., a publicly traded company in the disease-management sector of the healthcare industry. I see that you deleted a previous article on that company as spam, though I have no way to know what its content was. Before I try to post anything, I would like to know whether you hold a definite opinion that Healthways does not merit an article, or that articles on companies like that one are spam by definition.

I have no connection to Healthways or any of the other companies I am writing about. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is Healthways is some sense notable? Or are you just compiling a list of businesses in Nashville?
If it's the latter, then you should remember that wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not an advertising brochure. --Malleus Fatuarum 23:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Define "notable." I'm not being flip, and I don't want to argue on behalf of any particular company. But is there a consensus that a company whose stock trades on a major exchange is notable? I'm inclined to think there should be, but it's not clear to me whether there is. If not, what about a company that is a component of one or more S&P indices? A company with more than 2,500 employees and operations throughout the US and in Europe? Healthways happens to meet those criteria. But I really don't know what the cutoff point ought to be in defining notability.
The admonishment about "advertising" is unfortunate. I made quite clear that I have no connection to this or any company that I'm writing about. My interest is in covering an aspect of life in my city that is covered quite unevenly at present.

Tom Wood 23:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I was just wondering whether you were familiar with Wikipedia:Notability. Maybe every business in Nashville is notable, I don't know. I was just asking a question. --Malleus Fatuarum 23:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard 05:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying, Anthony. I'm going to create a new Healthways (medical company), and I think it will be defensible. Tom Wood 14:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Bayonne Constable Hook Cemetery page deletion

Figure this out

I'm new here and can't figure out how to reply, so I had to add. In regards to the "Bayonne Constable Hook Cemetery" page deletion. I am the author of the material. I am the chief researcher for the cemetery. I own the Graveinfo.com web site. I am the creator of all the images that were included with the article. The yoursup.com web site is just taking the article from the wikipedia.com web site. Please undelete this article and tell me how I can make it so it does not get deleted in the future.Cmyname 14:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Album disambiguation and Love in Motion albums

Regarding Love in Motion (Icehouse album), note the guideline for disambiguating albums at WP:ALBUM#Naming, per which these albums should be at Love in Motion (1983 album) and Love in Motion (1996 album). I was just going to mention this to you, and move these myself, but then I found the copy-and-paste moved Love in Motion (album). :-/ Can you take care of this? --PEJL 18:26, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:User oxon pmb

Please recreate this template. User:Pizza1512 has been causing massive disruption to the university of oxford wikiproject by recreating these userbox templates, replacing them on user pages, and then having the originals deleted. The user is also subverting the CSD process for his own versions of the templates and is borderline for a listing on the admin noticeboard. Thanks AulaTPN 22:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Support this - after spotting changes on my watchlist, I saw that Pizza1512 had replaced the Wadham college templates with his/her own creations using fair-use, not free, images, then emptied the category the old templates populated in preference for a non-standard name of his/her own choice, before tagging the old categories for speedy deletion on the grounds that they had been empty for four days! I wouldn't be surprised if something similar had happened here too. BencherliteTalk 23:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Small world experiment

Why exactly did this end up here? Anyway, It appears to have come from http://austria.phys.nd.edu/netwiki/index.php?title=Milgram_Experiment a dead site with no copyright licence info on it.

License tagging for Image:Biddulph Grange view along Dahlia Walk from other end.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Biddulph Grange view along Dahlia Walk from other end.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Press Illustrated?

You deleted Press Illustrated and the reason you gave was that the content was: '{{db-web}}/

What does db-web mean? You definitely did not visit the site so I wouldn't think that refers to the site. Was the article drafted wrongly.

Although, I am a programmer, it is very hard to understand how the WIKIPEDIA system work. I thought if an article was wrongly drafted, the other members will edit it.

The article is a good read for many of your readers.

We would be gald if you could review/reinstate the article again and visit the site at [www.http://www.pressillustrated.com Press Illustrated]

Lil Eazy E/Kings of LA Entertainment

I can see why you redirected the various Lil Eazy-E pages to the Eazy-E article (when I started tagging them, the original article had been deleted—while I was busy tagging away, it was recreated as a protected redirect). However, it doesn't make sense to send the various Kings of LA pages there (it has nothing to do with Eazy-E and there's no mention of it in the article). I ask you to re-think your decision, and delete these redirect pages: Kings Of L.A. Entertainment, Kings of L.A., Kings of L.A. Entertainment‎, Kings of LA Entertainment‎. If not, that's cool too.
