Third opinion request

Hi Ucla90024!

You listed a request at WP:3O that was malformed. I would like to get the request fixed for you, but there seems to be no talk page where any discussion is actually taking place on the issue. I am going to remove the request for now, but please relist it once you have begun a discussion (preferably at Talk:United States Army) about the issue. Other editors there may help to decide concensus without needing the third opinion. If you need help listing the discussion correctly, feel free to ask. Jim Miller (talk) 01:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks. But the discussion was at his talk page: [[1]]. He just keep saying a picture is bias when other unit pictures are not provided. It's an impossible job to have a picture of all units and every picture is bias in one way. Ucla90024 (talk) 17:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rick Neuheisel

Thank you very much for your quick attention to my revision (237204266) of this article. I made this edit quite on the spur of the moment. If in my haste I committed a factual, stylistic, or grammatical error here, you need not hesitate to bring it to my attention--if you prefer, by all means point it out on the discussion page of article Rick Neuheisel. I will be glad to revise my work if I am in error. Let me know what I can do to reach an edit satisfactory to both of us. We seem to share a kindred spirit in our support of Bruin football, and I look forward to conversing with you!

Rick Neuheisel

Please look at the edit history of this article and its related "diffs." I had nothing to do with the "goat" nonsense, whatever on earth that is. I did not include it, did not re-insert it, and I can assure you that only by some accident did that line reappear in the article; perhaps I was inadvertently working on the wrong version and saved it. My edits were as follows: I added to the story of the 1984 Rose Bowl by including the date (January 2, which I thought was a significant point because January 1 was a Sunday, which moved the Tournament of Roses to the next day); I also included the fact that the Bruins' victory, an entirely unexpected rout over the "Fighting Illini", made the team worthy of a national ranking. I embellished the summary of this game and Neuheisel's efforts in part because I was there, and I still cherish the memory of that afternoon. A closer look at the history of this article shows that the "goat" foolishness was added by User 24.124.127.57, whoever he is; with additions like this he understandably wishes to be anonymous. I approach the Rick Neuheisel article, and your page, with all good faith, support, and friendship. I have taken the liberty of reinserting my edits to the article. Thank you, Nick.

Los Angeles areas

Hmm - I understood that neighborhood councils and community areas are distinct - but I'm trying to figure out which is better to describe the community - Or we could mention both (i.e. XX Neighborhood council and YY community area) WhisperToMe (talk) 04:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Communities are the legal names. Additionally, sub-communities are noted in the community plans and signs are put up. For example, you can see "Pico-Union" signs are put up in the Pico-Union area of the Westlake community. There are many sub-communities in a community. Ucla90024 (talk) 04:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • West Adams serves South Central, Wilshire, and Westlake communities. West Adams is located at Washington Blvd and Vermont Ave., southwest on the Pico Union Neighborhood Council map, whereas Pico Union is the brown area in Westlake community on the map., as outlined by the blue dotted lines. I will have to take a look to see what community area signs are put up by the school. No question the Pico-Union signs are not located there. Pico Union signs should be located east of Hoover Ave. Ucla90024 (talk) 05:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • This sentence for Los Angeles High School "The attendance boundary consists of a contrasting spectrum of economic diversity ranging from affluent Hancock Park to the low-income, densely populated immigrant community of the Pico-Union District." is totally wrong. Don't know there such thing as "Pico-Union District". See Pico-Union. Ucla90024 (talk) 05:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Regarding West Adams, its address is indeed 1500 W. Washington Blvd. - The address, though, appears within the brown border in this map: http://cityplanning.lacity.org/complan/cnc/citywd_nc/pdf/picounion_nc.pdf - The school is next to the intersection of South Vermont and West Washington. The map says that the Pico Union Neighborhood Council extends to the Santa Monica Freeway - the brown border exists within the Wilshire, Westlake, AND South Los Angeles community areas. However this also proves that the school is within the South Los Angeles Community area, NOT the Wilshire community area. I corrected that in the article. Now as for LAHS and Pico Union, this is likely no longer true because of the fact that West Adams opened. I think the "Pico-Union District" thing is just casual speech. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:20, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1. The templates give community names, but there is not much else that I see. In other words, does the Los Angeles WikiProject have guidelines on how to determine the correct community? What are the tools that a user can use?

2. Regarding "correct" communities and neighborhoods, this will have to have a reference. The neat thing about community neighborhood or council boundary maps is that they provide a reference for saying "X is in Y community or Z this." As per WP:V things generally need to be referenced, so having these maps really help. Of course address name in the case of the San Fernando Valley help too.

  • "Even with these communities, there are number of errors. For example Temple-Beaudry in not located within Pico-Union." - Is Temple-Beaudry where the Belmont Learning Complex is? If so, the map that I used, which was published on the City of Los Angeles website, does not show that particular area as being within Pico Union (I used the map with the brown in it, which doesn't match the map you cited at laalmanac.com). If not, then is there a correct or "correct" map published by a different agency in Los Angeles?

3. I am aware that definitions of actual neighborhoods can vary depending on the source. Sometimes I like to use homeowner's association maps. Other times I go by the address.

So, how can we determine which object is in which neighborhood? Some neighborhoods have homeowner's associations (i.e. Hancock Park), but there are some that do not. How are we to "define" the neighborhood in the cases of the homes that do not have neighborhood associations? In other words, if there is a verifiable source that gives "narrower" boundaries of a particular community, we could use that source instead of a neighborhood council, etc. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC) WhisperToMe (talk) 00:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, this one http://www.crala.net/internet-site/Projects/Pico_Union_1/upload/2008PicoUnion1and2Map.pdf is a good source - I suppose we can use that to define what is in Pico Union and what is near Pico Union. BTW, I was looking for something like this map - A Wikipedia list of neighborhoods couldn't be used to necessarily "cite" anything since Wikipedia cannot use itself as a source; but this Pico Union map here is great. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:29, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You might be interested in the current LA Times Mapping Project [2] if you haven't come across it yet. It's not perfect, but it's the best effort I'm aware of. G Sisson (talk) 00:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Westlake

I'm not convinced that Pico-Union is a subdivision of Westlake... the PU neighborhood council map that you link to above seems to put them at the same level, as separate districts, no? I live in Westlake, and never imagined it stretching below Olympic – cacahuate talk 02:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But if you look at the Westlake plan map [3], you see the same area on both maps [4]. And the PU Neighborhood Council Map [5] shows the three communities (blue dotted lines) -- Wilshire, South Los Angeles, and Westlake (Pico-Union district not even mentioned). I was vice-chair of the advisory committee and we went through all that and still has the fancy scroll of Pico-Union Committee on my wall. Ucla90024 (talk) 02:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well then, I stand corrected. Welcome to my neighborhood – cacahuate talk 02:55, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I must say different people use different name for different area of Pico-Union and Westlake. Media have use Pico-Union incorrectly for years, stretching them all over the place when reporting incidents. Like I said, why Temple-Beaudry listed under Pico-Union and Byzantine-Latino Quarter in Echo Park-Westlake on the List of districts and neighborhoods of Los Angeles? I have tried to correct LA Times and others, but reporters said people called themselves Pico-Union. Pico-Union is third worst area in LA, and why would anybody want to be associated with it? The late LA Times columnist Jack Smith (columnist) and another columnist hated it when Westlake park was changed to MacArthur park. They campaigned to have it changed back. BTW there's a movement to bring back Westlake Theater. Ucla90024 (talk) 03:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oooh, tell me where and when, I'd love to see the theater revived... people can buy their discount socks elsewhere! – cacahuate talk 04:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images

The image guidelines/policies on dead people is that one may use a fair use image of the person as long as there is no free alternative. If you have photographs of the subject, think about if the photographs represent the popular depiction of the subject. If it seems that your photos would portray the subject as he would be known throughout the US, then the guidelines would prefer your photos instead of the FU photos. However I am not the most experienced on photo policies, so please see Wikipedia:Non-free content, Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Policy, and the associated talk pages if you have any further questions. As for --Then you wanted "This section does not cite any references or sources." for list of alumni. That would be hard to do with a long list. I have a list from the LAUSD and have verified with some high schools-- If there's a list from LAUSD then it should be easy to reference most of them - Just repeat the same reference over and over for those that the list covers. See what I did at Lamar High School (Houston) WhisperToMe (talk) 19:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User BRUIN ALUM

On the UCLA talk page you mentioned that you preferred the previous color scheme of this template. I can't say I disagree with you. The graphics standards document offered the official color choices, so I tried them. I'll be curious to see whether there is consensus to observe the standard or revert these colors. Thanks for your input. Newportm (talk) 17:23, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned

True, that's the official university color. The athletic department use their own True Blue color of blue. They have used different shades of blue and called different names. The current color of blue polo shirts by Adidas is best. Ucla90024 (talk) 17:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Newportm"

Overland Avenue School

The school seems to be in the Palms/Century City/West Los Angeles area. I'm not sure what boundaries would put it in exactly what community, but the school seems to be in one of the three communities. I think it is most likely in "West Los Angeles" - I wonder if the LA Times did a report on West LA; if so it could mention what schools that are considered to serve West LA. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Overland Avenue School is in Rancho Park, Los Angeles, California, which in turn lies within West Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, which is inside the Westside (Los Angeles County). Clear as a bell, right? Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 22:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alumni list

The reason why I did blanket removals like that is because of WP:BLP (I know not everyone on the list is alive, but some people are) and WP:V - Our criterion for inclusion is verifiability, not truth - i.e. we have to be able to verify that such is the case. Anyhow, if there is a list of notable LAUSD alumni, please campaign to make it public so we can reference it. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:21, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP OWN and edit warring

You seem to suffer from WP:OWN on Tournament of Roses Parade. Your edits to the article today have not been productive. If you'd like to take it to the talk page to discuss them, fine. Your two edits here and here show that you are now edit warring by making simple reversions. Let this note serve as you 3RR warning. Newport Backbay (talk) 18:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UCLA player/coach pictures

Hi, we both seem to cross paths with our interests in LA football and our associated schools. I saw your note that you saw Norm Chow --I assume you're sometimes on the UCLA campus. Have you considered visiting a practice to get key player/coach photos? I've done it once for a USC practice and covered nearly all the key people on the roster --just by politely asking to take their photo (I really only had one shot since I live in MN but was in town that day). Since I know you're into these topics, I thought I'd throw the idea out there. All the best. --Bobak (talk) 14:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The key to having pictures stay on Wikipedia or Commons is using the proper licensing (i.e. GNU or CC). If you want a template for photos that you've taken, feel free to use one of mine, like this one, as the basis. If you don't put all the information at the bottom you can quickly get the wrong attention because there are bots and programs that allow reviewers to quickly find images with incomplete licensing information. It doesn't take long to become old hat. All of my photos have been with a simple point-and-shoot, of course that often means I have to get pretty close (and at that point I end up asking for permission --which I've never had anyone deny as long as I smile and ask politely). --Bobak (talk) 18:04, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photo uploading

Hi, UCLA! I'll check out the deletion. If pictures are proven to be copyrighted, they can be deleted. But if your picture was not copyrighted and it was made by you it should not have been deleted. I'll check it out :) WhisperToMe (talk) 01:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to, please talk to commons:User_talk:BrokenSphere on the commons: he has a talk page and he can say more. I cannot look at the image as I am not an admin on the commons. However, I understand that if you take a photo of a statue solely showing the statue or a photo of a work of art solely showing the work, you cannot claim public domain if the work of art is copyrighted. However you should be fine uploading school photos. School photos can be claimed as PD. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Rose Bowl, the photos themselves weren't deleted. This is a Wikipedia:Content dispute over which images to include in a particular article. I would either talk on the other guy's talk page and/or on the talk page and ask why. Anyway, this should not affect uploading of school images. Please upload the school images and put them in their articles. I'll look at the parade article. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the new photos! :) BTW have you tried to get LAUSD to publish its alumni list on the web or in a publication? I would love to see the list, and it would really help as per WP:V things need to be verifiable. Therefore having LAUSD publish its list would make longer alumni lists possible. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:36, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I asked is because the Houston ISD published a list of notable alumni on the internet - See http://www.houstonisd.org/HISDConnectDS/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=c3783acb02efc010VgnVCM10000052147fa6RCRD and click on "Distinguished HISD Alumni" - I was meaning that LAUSD could do something like this and list them by high school.

Rose Bowl

Sorry for reverting your edits on the Rose Bowl pages. The more I thought about it, I like the edits. Just don't change the name of the pages, that's how the games are refered to and known by many, as the "XXXX Rose Bowl" (XXXX=year). Bcspro (talk) 13:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand yor reasoning behind it. How am I changing the name of the Tournament of Roses? How is "2009 Rose Bowl" your name? And how does reverting the edits not make me "BCS pro?" Bcspro (talk)

You can contact me on my talk page, but what for? Bcspro (talk) 18:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It looks odd to me having the Longhorn logo over the Trojans name, same thing for the USC logo. Nothing against it otherwise. Bcspro (talk) 03:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles and Names of the games

Thanks for the encouragement on the Rose Bowl articles. There is a lot of cleanup I could do, I just got into a very time-consuming project and my free time went out the window. There are some new stub Rose Bowl articles I would like to tackle. Regarding the naming, if you have not already, you could take up that question on the Wikipedia:WikiProject College football discussion. I have tried to include ordinal Rose Bowl in all the articles. I suspect there is a reason that that there is a consensus on YYYY Named Bowl. My guess is that it makes them easy to classify and compare: using 2008 Rose Bowl and 2008 Orange Bowl would make it apparent to the reader that they occurred in the same season without having to look at the articles if they were 94th Rose Bowl and 74th Orange Bowl respectivly. There might be some style changes that could improve the articles that could come out of such a discussion. Thanks, Group29 (talk) 13:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. It does say 2009 Rose Bowl in the Official Tour paragraph on the tournament site.[6] Group29 (talk) 13:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As per the 2009 Rose Bowl, it has been confirmed that Penn State will be playing in The Granddaddy of 'Em All, so I suggest that it be left alone. The team was formally invited following their 49-18 win over Michigan State on November 22. After December 6, the Pac-10 team will be put in place. NoseNuggets (talk) 5:58 PM US EST Dec 2 2008.
Perhaps you should check NCAA Football Bowl Games 2008-09 as Yahoo! had a story citing the ToR indeed have a representative there following the game officially extending the invitation. NoseNuggets (talk) 9:29 AM US EST Dec 3 2008
    • As per 2010, from what I have been told, they will do the same things for the BCS Title Game as they usually do with the Rose Bowl. So much so, they will not only have the two bands from the Rose Bowl Game in the 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade, but also the two bands from the schools that will play in the BCS Game as well, and Disneyland has also planned to extend their annoual Christmas Displays an extra week to accomadate fans from the two schools. Another Lawry's Beef Bowl and another Disneyland presser are indeed planned, and they will occur on Janaury 4 and 5 respectively. NoseNuggets (talk) 1:03 PM US EST Jan 11 2009.

Can you explain why you keep deleting the comprehensive total of Pac-12 vs. Big Ten games (Pac-12 leading 34-30) and only allow there to be a total between 1946 and 1997? It doesn't seem right to only have a total during a certain portion while Big Ten and Pac-12 teams played before as well as continue to play to this day. As far as Penn St. playing USC in the 1923 game it should count as teams bring their records with them when they join a conference. Kevallen (talk) 05:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ucla

why do you keep deleting my changes to the establishment of ucla? i have researched the topic at great length and it seems pretty clear that 1881, is the correct date, given that the state normal school was changed to the southern branch of the UC. please compare this history of Ariz State, SDSU, SJSU, SFSU and chico state, and you will see they are all former normal schools and trace their establishment to the creation of the normal school. same thing should be true with ucla. also, take a look at the history of the outlook, the forerunner of the daily bruin; and the history of the ucla's graduate school of education - both trace their roots to the los angeles state normal school

USC-UCLA photos

Yeah, I think I was able to get some good photos. I lucked out and was able to be in LA for the game (I live in Minnesota). I haven't looked through them yet, but I think I was able to get a good photo of the blue/red players and fans. --Bobak (talk) 16:38, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was a bit low, row 3, which made the closer photos more difficult (ironically) because of how many people were standing on the sideline. Traveler has traditionally visited the UCLA game, it dates to the co-habitation of the Coliseum (back before the Raiders had the track removed, it would gallop around). It'll probably show up for the RB game too. --Bobak (talk) 16:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I took a look at what I had this evening, these two stuck out: Image:2008-1206-USC-UCLA-007-RB-redblue1.JPG and Image:2008-1206-USC-UCLA-009-RB-redblue.JPG. --Bobak (talk) 00:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Studio City and Rampart

1. The Rampart Police Station would be a great photo, especially for Pico-Union 2. I am aware that NH and SC are within LA; the Studio City Neighborhood Council does have a boundary for Studio City. I use this boundary to indicate if something is "in" Studio City - if there is a different map I would be more than happy to use that one. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orange Bowl TV ratings

Thanks for trying to update the TV ratings. I looked it up, and the 5.4 rating was for "major media markets" only, according to Nielsen. That kinda makes sense, since neither Cincinnati or Virginia Tech are in any of those major markets. Nationally, though, the game got a rating of 8.12. That was revised upward from an initial overnight rating of 6.1 (overnight meaning a quick calculation given the next day). If you think it's worthwhile, I can put the 5.4 figure in the section where ratings are discussed, but it might prove to be a bit too confusing for readers. What do you think?

The sources are the two ones I listed: From the NewsBank newspaper archive, one from the Los Angeles Times and the other from the Alameda Times-Star. I've also got this link from the Rocky Mountain News, which I haven't added yet. I did manage to dig up the Associated Press ratings report, which jives with what I've got. It reports 9.32 million viewers, and since a ratings point is 1.145 million, that's where I get the 8.12 from. JKBrooks85 (talk) 00:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Where does the 1.7 multiplier come from? That's the main thing I'm uncertain about. JKBrooks85 (talk) 00:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's the thing ... those articles say that a rating point is 1.145 million viewers, not 1.7 million. ... This would be a lot easier if Fox would update their damn BCS football ratings page. JKBrooks85 (talk) 00:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (disambiguation)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (disambiguation). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. If you believe the best course of action would be to move the page, please add a comment attesting to that on the AfD discussion page.KuyaBriBriTalk 21:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC) [reply]

You replaced the AfD template as I was leaving this message. I have, however, undone the move. If you believe that moving is the appropriate course of action, please indicate that in the AfD discussion. KuyaBriBriTalk 21:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing the LA County Seal

Just a quick note to let you know that the info removed by OrphanBot was referring to the source info being missing from the graphic page, and it's NFU media rationale, and not source citations on each instance. What it was, was that when the image was uploaded, no source info was included in the description. I've repaired that for all three instances where it's referenced, but OrphanBot already had it queued for deletion, I guess.

2008-09 Pacific-10 Conference men's basketball season

Based on your hard work on the 2009 Pacific-10 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament and 2008-09 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team, I thought you might be interested in creating an article for the 2008-09 Pacific-10 Conference men's basketball season. The 2008-09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and 2008-09 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season articles have been going since before the conference tournaments and recently 2008-09 Big East Conference men's basketball season and 2008-09 Big 12 Conference men's basketball season have recently been created. I hope to encourage all the power conferences to create such articles this year or at least by next year. In fact, next year I hope to get all the mid majors in on the action too. I do the 2008-09 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team and the 2008-09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and am willing to respond to any queries.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it will take a few years. You might consider just making a basic page with a rankings summary, infobox and standings template. That is all the Big Ten page was for several weeks.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see I got you motivated to create something at least. I noticed that your conference still uses the old school standings template. You might want to reformat like the Big Ten's so you can link your new page to the top of the standings template.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 18:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most conference standings templates use the AP Poll.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed your conference standings template so it links to your new page from the other articles it is included in. If you use this format you don't have to manually calculate winning percentage.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Favorites pref

Wanted to clarify about the whole debate between using the "-3" or "by 3" in the "favorites" line of the bowl entries. This was discussed, as you may be aware, at the College Football project talk page. No consensus was ever reached as to which was preferred, so the basic agreement was to leave them as is. Unfortunately, Bband11th continued to mass change the articles to his preference while X96lee simply reverted them to whatever they were originally (he prefers using the minus sign but has not mass changed articles to his preference). While this could simply be considered a "content issue" and edit warring, because many others have repeatedly pointed out the basic agreement to leave them as is and the repeated attempts (almost daily) to change it to "by" that could be considered vandalism simply because it is disruptive (and conversely, Bband11th has also used the "vandalism" label on his own edit summaries). In the end, though, the agreement to leave "as is" makes the most sense to me rather than this daily changing. Bband11th and you are certainly free to your own preferences, but there is no consensus for a mass change to one way or the other. The 2009 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl is the only such page on my watchlist. --JonRidinger (talk) 20:15, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Other Asian country do practice"

I was working today on the Talk section of the Bonsai article, addressing some of the elements that mark it as an article specifically about the Japanese practice and art form of growing small trees in pots. (Please see Propose merge with Penjing articles for the discussion.) The request in question was a proposal to merge Bonsai with Penjing, an ancient Chinese art. The culture, history, and aesthetics of bonsai and penjing are (understandably) very different. The two articles have been crafted over the last couple of years to place the correct material in each of the primary articles, and in articles that support them. In short, the Bonsai article is about the Japanese practice of bonsai, the Penjing article is about the Chinese practice of penjing, and we're hoping to see a full-size article on the related Vietnamese practice of Hòn Non Bô at some time in the future. If there are other, similar practices from other cultures, we would also hope to see them described in appropriate articles as well.

You deleted the phrase "the Japanese tradition in" from the opening sentence: 

  error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required (help) (盆栽 Japanese) (lit. tray cultivation) is the Japanese tradition 
  in the art of growing trees, or woody plants shaped as trees, in containers.

The equivalent sentence in the Penjing article is: 

  Penjing (Chinese: 盆景; pinyin: pén jǐng; lit. 'tray scenery'), also known as penzai (Chinese: 盆栽; pinyin: pén zāi; lit. 'tray plant'), 
  tray landscape, potted scenery, potted landscape, and miniature trees and rockery is the ancient Chinese art of 
  growing trees and plants, kept small by skilled pruning and formed to create an aesthetic shape and the complex illusion of age.

As you can see, the Penjing article uses the phrase "the ancient Chinese art" in the equivalent spot.

Your comment on the deletion was "Other Asian country do practice". I believe it is clear in these articles that there are other related arts, and that the Bonsai article's focus on the Japanese practice of bonsai does not imply that other Asian countries do not practice related arts. You may have noted that the Bonsai article contains a history of bonsai in Japan, that it uses the Japanese terms for bonsai styles and bonsai size categories, and that it summarizes and points to the article on Japanese Bonsai aesthetics. Similarly, the Penjing article relates to the Chinese art. If your concern is that some of the material in the Bonsai article may apply to several forms of potted-plant cultivation, that question has been raised in Propose merge with Penjing articles and may lead to some modifications to the Bonsai and Penjing articles.

I believe the Bonsai article needs the same clarity about describing the Japanese tradition as the Penjing article has regarding the Chinese tradition. Would you consider allowing the phrase "the Japanese tradition in" to be put back in place in the Bonsai article?

The Amazing Race 17

I saw that you edited the finale episode's section to change 2009 to 2010.

Hi, I'm working on the JazzReggae Festival and am wondering if we can negotiate another image (other than the early morning picture) to place on the JazzReggae Festival at UCLA wiki.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Orange Bowl 2011.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Orange Bowl 2011.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

removing references from 2011–12 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team and 2010–11 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team

Hi Ucla90024. I noticed the references I added were removed by your edits at [9] and [10]. Perhaps it's just a difference in style. My intent was to add other references that could 1) give the reader more perspective if they wanted more background 2) allow myself or others to potentially expand the article with the additional information later 3) eventually be used for separate articles on Honeycutt and Lee.

I guess I didnt see an extra footnote or two as being too cluttered as in the extreme described in Wikipedia:Citation_overkill. Would like to hear your perspective, especially since I'm sure to run into you if I edit UCLA articles, which you have done a great job contributing.
