Drottningholm Palace Theatre

Thanks for your kind words. It's been fun to research some of these wonderful opera houses and to update and improve the list which appears on Wikipedia. I've tried to visit as many of them as possible over the years, and now have long-lost English friends living in Stockholm. So ne day, I'll make it...

Swedish Socialists

Thank you very much for the encouragement on my articles about Swedish socialists. What I’m doing with these guys is that I’m reading their autobiographies, one by one, and as I read I write new info for the wiki articles. I’m basically done with Ture Nerman, and right now I’m in the middle of Zeth Höglund’s 3 volume autobiography. After that I will read the 3 volume autobiography of Karl Kilbom and then the 2 volume autobiography of Fredrik Ström, and finally the much shorter autobiography of Anton Nilson. So these articles will grow. When I’m done with that, which of course will take a while, I have a newly published thick book on the early Swedish Communist Movement (Hemmabolsjevikerna) by historian Aleksander Kan, which will help fill in some stuff and maybe give a little more critical input on some of it. Bronks 14 November 2005.

• Hello again. I just wanted to say that I’m basically done with the Zeth Höglund article, and have now started the process of expanding the Karl Kilbom article by reading Kilbom’s own autobiography. So that article will slowly grow, day by day, as I read. Bronks 21 December 2005.

Norse mythology naming convention vote notice

A new proposal on the representation of Norse mythology names is now up for a vote. Some people object to it on the grounds that it would use non-English characters in some article titles.

Richard Gregg

You've changed the citation style. There has been a big row recently about changing styles that made it to the village pump. It's not considered something that should be done without agreement amongst all editors of the article. My preference is Harvard style, but I didn't change the style for that reason.

Your style is non-standard. The normal citation styles are plain anonymous URL, as originally, Harvard, and footnote link. I think the footnote implementation is too flawed to use. If your citation was obvious, you would not have needed to use "see below".

Also, the reason that I duplicated the inline link is that I actually failed to spot the reference at all because it was too far from where it was needed (there are two facts). With your more bulky reference, the link the reference may be more obvious, but I still feel that the quote needs referencing separately from the MLK association as it is not obvious that both come from the same source.

--David Woolley 12:23, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The reason I changed it was simply that I didn't think that there would be any particular reason to emphasize exactly who made the claim, as long as it is sourced - it would been a different matter if we would have used a direct quote from MLK himself, or some other generally known person, rather than just a historian. In either case, saying that a journal has said something looks strange. It is, after all, the author of the article who makes the claim, not the journal itself or even its editors. Tupsharru 12:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The reason that I used the Journal was that I was basically working only with the provided references (albeit they weren't then in the References section). I thought of using the author, but I had no idea what their reputation was, but it was fairly clear that the journal had a reputation. I'd still say that the quoted part looks like it might come from a different source than the indirect speech part. The Harvard reference would have been (Kosek 2005). --David Woolley 13:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

If you look at the latest pair of edits you can possibly see why I wanted the citation to be close to the fact. Because the editor hasn't noticed the citation, they've added a new fact that is not consistent with even the freely available abstract of the citation, but, by your interpreation of the citation markup, all the facts in that sentence are covered by the one citation. Baiscally thay have said that the influence on MLK was indirect, but the cited abastract says that the influence was the result of his reading RG's book. (I haven't subscribed for the full text.)

Harvard style, or similar, would probably have helped, by making the citation more obvious, but we need to get agreement from the original contributor before making such a change. --David Woolley 18:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Hello. When you wrote “You should be more careful about calling other people vandals when they obviously are not.” Did you mean to tell that to me, or was this aimed for Yopohari.

Bronks. 19 december 2005.

Thank you friend. Bronks. 19 december 2005.

I thought indentation and context made that clear, but I clarified it anyway. Tupsharru 20:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

• Yes, I thought so, but I wasn't 100% sure. Thank you. (Maybe you should post it on Yopohari's own talk page so he sees it.) Bronks. 19 december 2005.

The context is very simple: He can no german, but starts 1-sentence-"articles" in the german Wikipedia and wants someone should write really these articles. There are de:Wikipedia:Artikelwünsche and de:Wikipedia:Übersetzungswünsche for that purpose.

I can for example no Japan language so i write no "articles" in the Japanese Wikipedia. Some other examples: de:Benutzer:Duti99, de:Benutzer:Sarcelles, fr:Utilisateur:Sarcelles - all they are infinitely banned for the same reason. Yopohari 08:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Rankingcruft

I do not assume that "the rankingcruft" is necessarily contributed by Harvard students, and I certainly do not believe that "all" the Harvard students hanging around here share that fetish. Boosterism is, of course, a problem with all of the articles about major universities (and some not-so-major ones). I admit to some curiosity about the identity of the editors who do this. My own wild guess is that they are either high school seniors who have recently been admitted to the university, or freshmen who are still impressed by their own accomplishment (and, yes, it is an accomplishment) in getting in. These are folks who have recently been quaffing deep drafts of Roger Tory Peterson's Field Guide to the Colleges, U. S. News and College Report, and glossy promotional brochures from the admissions office of the last six campuses they've toured. Their bloodstream contains near-toxic levels of rankingcruft. A few nearly-flunked midterms, and being shot down a few times by would-be romantic companions who, having themselves been admitted to the same school, do not find it impressive, has a detoxifying effect. See my sardonic take on the phenomenon. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

List of unaccredited institutions of higher learning

How wise you are. Jason Gastrich (n.b.: don sunglasses before viewing user page) has been packing out the votes on a number of people of tremedous standing and unassailable notability who had (quite coincidentally) managed to avoid the notice of the community until he created an article on alumni of Louisiana Baptist University - one of those on the list - with a load of redlinks. And several of them turn out to have degrees from other schools on the list! Well well. And some of them run other schools on the list. Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.

Student cap

Hi Tupsharru, I am Rabe! of German Wikipedia. I have meanwhile extended the German article de:Studentenmütze and added some Scandinavian information. It would be nice if you could check and verify. Do you understand Danish? I have some qustion regarding the Danish system but cannot understand the article da:Studenterhue quite well. I will help then to complement the English article by adding German information. Thanks for your help. Rabe! --84.170.221.178 17:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I will translate da:Studenterhue and work it into the English article in the next few days. You may also be interested in looking at Uplands nation, which I started work on a few days ago. It is the only Uppsala nation I have posted yet, but I have rough sketches for articles on a few more and will add them eventually. Tupsharru 17:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I will be interested in the translation of the Danish article because I am not sure about some words in the text. My Danish is poor and the translation of a friendly German user speaking Danish left some questions. So I did not understand what the studentereksamen was. And what the difference was between studentereksamen and the hf. My assumption was that studentereksamen was/is made at the end of class 9. I guess you will clarify that.

The delightful Ril

He also seems to have taken the edit war over Authentic Matthew into its eighth month. I've been gathering some evidence, and at this point I'm fairly certain that -Ril- is actually user CheeseDreams, and is thus already hardbanned. I've presented my evidence at WP:RFAr. Have you had some dealings with CD, do think -Ril- might be a reincarnation? - SimonP 14:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

During his first few months here he mostly kept to himself, and did quite good work on Egyptian mythology related subjects. (Though some of these now seem to have been copyvios). In the six months since his last arbcom he seems to have done little more than try to stir up trouble. Consider in the last couple weeks his efforts have included the creation of User:-Ril-/Nudity, Wikipedia:Centralized_discussion/Verses_of_1_Kings_4_and_5, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Clerks, and Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion/FARC. - SimonP 22:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Speedy tagging

I removed speedy tags that you had added to Jim Black and Jason Bittner. Both had some reasonable claim to notability, but I decided to redirect the second one for the time being. I later saw that you went back and edited these articles, apparently agreeing with me that these articles are not speedy candidates. Please consider that a too hastily added speedy tag may actually lead to some perfectly decent article being deleted by a hurried admin. Unless the non-notability is really clear, it is better to use {{context}} or {{importance}} tags or to take it to AFD.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. I was working on a project of renaming and consolidating Category:Berklee College of Music alumni and correlating it with List of Prominent Alumni of Berklee College of Music. It's quite regular for names to be added to these lists who do not meet the notability criteria for musicians and ensembles. Going through these lists helped weed a few out. In my haste, I did not research these two enough. Thank you for pointing my error out to me. --malber 13:14, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

If you feel some of these are decent enough to deserve recognition, you are encouraged to nominate them at Wikipedia:Swedish Wikipedians' notice board/Swedish quality articles. In the end, our articles should be comparable to what is expected from the Encyclopedia Britannica. If it currently isn't, but you feel you have spent a considerable amount of time on it, you are still encouraged to nominate it, so that your work will be recognized and others can continue to improve on it.

Upphovsrättscruft and thinskinned users

Tups, I've never heard of either of the users you mentioned, but taking such umbrage at the whole of en.wiki because of one brusque remark from one user seems excessive to me. As for the upphovsrättscruft, outstanding! :-D It'll be a while before I can actually upload the state funeral and the other one I've got in mind, but I'm pleasurably planning the captions as we speak. I don't believe the Impossible Man can mind, either, as they're for a pretty long section that has no images (well, it has one irrelevant one, that will of course go) and are highly relevant and enhancing of the points made in the text. And maybe I'll rm the balloon factory, even though it's kind of fun how idyllic it looks—are those Singer sewing machines? Thank you so much for ferreting out this valuable legal cruft!

Link repairs - trying to help

Sorry for all the trouble you've been having with that article. Thing is, the "repairs" were done by three different users and they probably weren't aware that someone else had already been there. Also, at least two of them are still fairly new to the pedia and probably brand-new to the project of trying to get links to direct to real articles (and if you've ever been to that page you'd know it's work akin to that of Sisyphus). So please be patient.

If I could make a suggestion for cases like the one you were dealing with, if there is no article written yet, and you do want to link it for "the future" (sort of) why not link to what the article may be called when it is written. This will create a red link and be a reminder that that particular article needs writing. Also, if you do that, it would be good if you add the red link to the disambig page as well. This would serve as a note to, admittedly sometimes overzealous, link repairmen that one of the existing options may not be all it's cracked up to be. ok? --Mmounties (Talk) 18:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

John Kenneth Galbraith

Hiya, I thought I should explain why a second article was started on this topic. This article concerns the multitude of articles whereas the main article deals with books only. I did some work on the John Kenneth Galbraith article making the partial bibliography into a complete one. During the course of this I posted on the talk page to see if people thought that we should cover/include the articles that JK Galbrath has written, as there are hundreds of these I thought it made sense to start a separate article and no one had responded on the talk page. Someone had previously redirected the article but changed their mind and asked me to revert it. Sjeraj 12:40, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice images, shame about the text - it's the rehashed and corrected German - see what you can do to it. Giano | talk 17:16, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• The page is growing - could we have a few illustrated words on Swedish Neo-Renaissance buildings please? If you are stuck, I'm sure Bishonen is very rich and has a very palatial residence you could describe. Giano | talk 19:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Oh, definitely, one of the justly famed 1940s Södermalm Neo-Renaissance walk-ups! The tastefully restrained size is a defining feature of this style. But it really deserves a FA of its own. Bishonen | talk 10:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC).

• Now perhaps you understand why the suggestion to write Neo-Renaissance was a poisoned chalice. If you look at how true Renaissance buildings can differ country to country, then merge those styles together, then throw in some Baroque for interest - you see the problem. If you look at your picture, you have written "Florentine and Venetian" well those two terms are at odds to begin with compare Palazzo Pitti which is Florentine, with Ca' d'Oro which is Venetian, you will see the Venetian influences (in the central bay) of your building are in fact Gothic, and the roof hints at Baroque (see Linderhof) which is Neo-Baroque. However the Swedish building can still be described as Neo-Renaissance. somehow I suspect this has not made you any clearer. Well, it was your idea to write the page in the first place, so you only have yourself to blame. We will definitely add your picture to the page with a few words;-) Giano | talk 10:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• [2] It's no use you complaining that your screen is not big enough. You should have thought of that before you suggested I write the page. When it is finished there will be a lot more text and things will fit perfectly - I assure you. We have Dutch Renaissance to fit in yet, and quite a lot more of other stuff too, besides the Swedish including Anglo-Indian Neo-Renaissance - life just gets better my the moment!

Oh, but the article is getting better all the time. And it was a very needed article. How can we have an encyclopædia with an article on Bulbasaur but none on Neo-Renaissance? Tupsharru 04:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I am leaveing it as it is and if people want to change it then fine. (The Green Fish 03:27, 27 April 2006 (UTC))

unter null etc.

Hi, Tupsharro, thanks for writing =P
How did you find out about my unter null article? Well yuo see I'm quite new here and I'm not that good of fixing up facts and information about things, I'm just doing it the best I can. Where from can I get more ppl willing to revise the page with me? Btw, are you Swedish, and if so, is it allowed to write comments in Swedish on user talk pages, cause I'm from Sweden,,,thanx for all..peace Shandris 14:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I saw it on Special:Newpages (where you can see the newest pages coming in) and checked it at random, wondering what it was. Yes, I'm Swedish, but it is usually considered more polite to write in English even on user talkpages, as it enables other people to follow conversations on topics they may find interesting. Tupsharru 18:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

To reply or not to reply, that is the question...

Hi Tupsharru. Regarding your comment on the Village Pump "However, when Ryan Lanham asked about the motivation for the nomination on Redvers' talkpage, Redvers just archived the question and the rest of his talkpage the same day without a reply. This is not how I expect a Wikipedia administrator to behave.".

Please note:

• the post from Mr Lanham was unsigned and I make it very clear at the top of the page that I won't reply to people who don't sign their posts. I even give instructions for how to sign posts.
• the post from Mr Lanham was a personal attack, using words like "a sad little thing to do" and backing up his unpleasant and incivil attack in the AfD itself. I don't feel the need to reply to personal attacks as there is no reason to get into an edit war with someone. I'd rather rise above it.
• the post had a nice splash of racism in it. 'Nuff said.

I note you don't take issue with Mr Lanham's attacks on me, preferring to tacitly approve of them when not in possession of the full facts and then not withdrawing your points when those facts were presented. This is not how I expect an otherwise respected Wikipedia editor to behave. ➨ ≡ЯΞDVΞRS≡ 11:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

UI Design: Edit then List vs List then Edit

Hi! Thanks for removing my article from speedy deletetionUI Design: Edit then List vs List then Edit I can see how it can be interpreted as how-to but it is not, the article is not about how to build UIs, is about how UIs are built. This is not a how to, I am not explaining how to build a UIs, I see that my page was moved to may "user space" I am not sure what does that mean... I would love to recieve some critique of my page to know how to improve it so that it can be considered a good article for the Wikipedia --Luxspes 03:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
