Incorrect mathematics

Your comment on DYK was proven false. There is 14,000 characters on the current page. The fact that you would put it at such a low number, in addition to your recent actions as of late, is highly incivil and very questionable. I have also received many complaints in my email box about you from people who feel that you are doing a disservice to DYK. Must I proceed to having a topic ban of you from reviewing? Or will you cut this off now? Ottava Rima (talk) 18:41, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I counted with prosesize.js, the count is accurate, and nothing has been "proven false" unless you take your own word to be the capital-t Truth. I have responded to your comments at T:TDYK.

This morning I tried to leave you a message at your talk page politely saying that I was willing to put this fight behind me and I was hoping we could move on, but you have clearly chosen not to do so. Even though my note at T:TDYK did not at all challenge your hook and did not say it should be rejected (in fact, you can see that I said the hook is fine and may be reviewed), you have instead chosen to continue to pick a fight. Therefore, I humbly ask that you not post at my talk page anymore. If you want to continue fighting or if you ever need to engage in Wikipedia-related communication with me for any reason, you may e-mail me. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 23:59, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tomber la chemise

Hi Politizer ! Thank you for your message on my talk page and for having nominated this article for DYK. However, my English is not very good (French is my native language). Sorry ! But I will check the English translations of the covers / parodies after all. :) Europe22 (talk) 21:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok ! "Solder" is a French word that means "to sell at sale price". Cheers, Europe22 (talk) 21:19, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neurolinguistics

Do you have a handle on what this article is about? All the references are very technical and I would have to do some major learning to get this right. Do you think the article is actually combining more than one topic? Could you outline what I could be most helpful at doing? Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 01:11, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have enough of a handle to write introductory-level stuff, but I'm not a super-expert yet. I agree that it would be nice to bring in some more accessible references.

As for what you can do...I was mostly just wanting a second pair of eyes to let me know if there are any major concerns that need to be addressed before going to GA (but it will be a while before I take this to GA anyway, so there's no rush)...and also if there are any particular sections that are really confusing, you could point them out. I imagine that the references we get are going to be pretty complicated, even if they're not journal articles, because that's just what the field is like...but my ultimate goal should be to take all that complicated stuff and dilute it into something that a WP reader can get something useful out of.

My main plan for the article right now is more or less as follows:

Add a section on some of the big issues that are being researched a lot (for example, the question of how information in sentences is processed, and how neuro uses specific brain responses–the ELAN, LAN, N400, and P600, note the redlinks—to piece that apart)
Add a section, if possible, on the applications of neuro to other fields and to real life
Possibly spin the "experimental design" section out into a separate article

That's about it for now. It's hard to go into stuff like the models proposed about how language processing works, because that is really more the domain of psycholinguistics (the way I like to think of it is, people in psycholinguistics propose a model about how the mind processes some language-related thing, then people in neurolinguistics test it...of course, there's a lot of overlap, but the general thing is that a lot of neurolinguistics is just knowing about brain imaging, and figuring out clever ways to see what the brain is doing; they just happen to do it with the goal of attaining linguistic knowledge rather than other stuff). —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 01:21, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oi, butting in rudely, I'd be very happy to work on Neurolinguistics. But it will be at least one week, possibly three before I have any time. Later! Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 02:05, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem; it's not going anywhere! —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 02:19, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Usuki Stone Buddhas

Thank you for your kind remarks about my efforts on the Unjusa article. A bit more to add yet. I must confess that I have no special or in depth knowledge on any of the subject mater covered here, or have any knowledge at all on the Usuki Stone Buddhas. My interest is basically learning more about sites that we visited while on extended trips to Korea (we've been to Japan but only Kyoto and Nagasaki). I took a lot of photos here, and other locations of cultural interest in Korea, and thought sharing what we experienced with others could be accomplished through the Wikipedia project. There is so much that is beautiful and unique in Korea that it is a shame the rest of the world is so unaware it. I am basically regurgitating information that I have gleaned from being at these sites (Unjusa in this case) and other references. I'll look into investigating the Usuki Stone Buddhas after I get through with some of the other things I'd like to do. If I feel I have something that I can contribute, I certainly will.Steve46814 (talk) 04:10, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

The only method I have found in the past that works with this person is to cease responding completely. That has worked on AN/I and on other talk pages. This person has the ability to provoke responses that feed into the situation like shark bait. I am very guilty of falling for this but I will now cease. Everything has been said, I think, unless further "polls" are proposed. Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 05:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK feedback

I was planning to get involved in DYK again, helping out. I remember I contacted you not too long ago about how complicated it seems now. Over the last few days I considered helping out with checking articles, sources etc. and rewriting ALT hooks, as I used to be very good at that. However, when I look at the DYK page, it does not seem possible for me to just help out without screwing things up. I am not good with templates and technical stuff. If I get a desire to enter a DYK of my own again, perhaps I will be motivated to read all the directions that now seem necessary.

I looked at a hook to check or write an ALT for and find I can't just do it. If I tried, I would screw up something.

I know you said nothing had changed and it was still very easy, but it doesn't seem that way. There is no way to just join in anymore? (I feel sad about this situation.) —Mattisse (Talk) 00:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Featured Article

In your opinion do you think the article Jessica Alba could become a featured atricle in the near future? I ask you becasue you seem that you are quick to fix any mistakes in the article. Hda3ku (talk) 01:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much it’s really hard to find wikipedias as yourself that really gives you a good answer to a question. I will contact you if I need any further help. Hda3ku (talk) 01:48, 18 December 2008 (UTC

By the way would you find the tools granted to an admin helpful I would be happy to nominate you. Hda3ku (talk) 01:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Garden Gnomes

Looks like the Garden Gnome hook is attracting pranksters to the article. I see you've been monitoring, and I will try to do so as well. Thanks for your help. Cbl62 (talk) 00:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Undercover gnomes, perhaps? Or, rather, I guess they're more like gnome anti-liberationists... —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 00:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Foxxy Love

In the episode, she CLEARLY said 'Certified' and not 'trained'. You need to rewatch the episode. -- 75.38.251.84 (talk) 04:09, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't even watch the show. All I know is your edit replaced "I'm trained in..." with "I'm certained in..." (not "certified"), and that's not even a sentence. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 04:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I made a mistake. Thats why you bring mistakes to the person's attention instead of saying it's not constructive and a test edit. -- 75.38.251.84 (talk) 04:14, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I brought it to your attention with the message I left you. I had no idea your edit was supposed to say something else; I'm not a mind reader. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 04:15, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another look at WJBE's hook

Pardon the intrusion, but could you please take a look at Suntag's alt hook for WJBE? He modified the article and wrote an alt tag that reflects the contents of the article, includes a relevant photo, and has been sitting unloved for more than 24 hours while the nomination itself is aging like a fine cheese. Thanks in advance and, again, sorry to interrupt with the big orange banner. - Dravecky (talk) 06:57, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Main Page hits contest

Since you vetted The Swimming Hole, perhaps you would want to set up and run a Main Page hits contest on the DYK talk page similar to this. -- Suntag ☼ 13:28, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Giant huntsman spider

Thank you for your quick points on the DYK nomination of the Giant Huntsman Spider article. We've done some cleaning up and added some references. Would you check it again and see if it's up to par? Many thanks --DarkAvenger (talk) 14:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion template

Copy-and-paste the suggestion template over to Next Update is a great idea! I never thought of that. My Wikipedia:Bot_requests#DYKCheckbot doesn't seem to be going anywhere anyways. -- Suntag ☼ 18:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Laogai Museum

On 18 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Laogai Museum, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Re: Comments at T:TDYK

Hi Politizer! Firstly, thank you very much for participating in the discussion at Talk:Nitzanim as an impartial editor. I will reply to all content-based comments there shortly.

About Gatoclass: I was not aware of tensions at DYK or of other personal attacks, and apologize if my comments worsened the collaborative mood there. However, I still believe that Gatoclass acted in bad faith, both by threatening to oppose the DYK nomination based on his personal opinion ('if the quotes aren't removed, I will move to oppose...'), and by removing the quotes and ignoring the previous discussion on the page (and finally by using the 'X' mark on DYK, which usually means 'not ready', to state his personal opinion, although this is less important). This, on the background of tensions in Israel–Palestine-related articles, where Gatoclass is involved as a pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel editor, is especially concerning, just like what you said about my statements on T:TDYK, and led me to believe that he was acting in bad faith. I appreciate the fact that Gatoclass is a frequent DYK contributor and may know better than me what should or should not be on the main page in this section, but as I said, my comments weren't made because of his opposition to the DYK, but because of the way in which it was conducted, especially on the contentious I–P background. I hope this clarifies the issue. Cheers, Ynhockey ^(Talk) 03:16, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ynhockey, I think these comments just demonstrate your ignorance of how DYK works. DYK reviewers are constantly engaged in assessing articles, and the templates are there precisely to indicate those assessments. Since I believed your article would not be suitable for the mainpage if it included the quoteboxes, and you insisted on reverting after I had explained my POV, I had little choice but to go ahead and voice my opposition.

As for editing the article - I am constantly engaged in editing articles submitted to DYK in order to make them eligible. Shortly before the edits to your article, for example, I made multiple edits to this submission in order to bring it up to speed. 99% of the time users are happy to have me help bring their articles to DYK standard, occasionally as in this case they contest the edits. I haven't acted any differently in the case of your article than I have for hundreds of other articles at DYK, your perception that your article was singled out for some kind of special treatment is simply incorrect.

User talk:Oprahwinfrey24 - my ears are burning!

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?!

For what it's worth, I don't have a strong opinion on whether we should use "Scotland" or "Scotland, UK" - I simply revert the Nimbley6 troll on sight. I believe consensus is to prefer "Scotland, UK" however. From this new user's use of "Doesnt" and "Constuient" I'm tending strongly towards the "thank you for reverting yet another incarnation of Nimbley6"-view. Thanks for spotting this.

Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 17:05, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm now 100% convinced the user is User:Nimbley6 - or at least a sock of User:Cyrusmilleyhannana. I've added User:Oprahwinfrey24 to a current RfCU, based on Oprahwinfrey24's edits to Leon Jackson here and on other languages' Wikis.
