FAC review

Hi Spangineer - I request you to please check out Kazi Nazrul Islam (FAC) and Dhaka (FAC). We need your criticism and advice. Thanks, Rama's arrow 12:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spangineer - many thanks for the review! I've addressed (I think) all your points. Please have another look. Cheers, Rama's arrow 22:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again - I've reorganised and copyedited (with Shmitra's help) through all sections [1] Please have a look - thanks for your great review! Rama's arrow 02:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since I am still learning as I go...

I have an another admin question for you. SEGA (talk · contribs), who also edits as 68.112.25.197 (talk · contribs), has uploaded several images of questionable source(understatement!). The images have been tagged by other users for their dubious claims of fair use. However the uploader, who has a long history of "bucking wiki-policy"...mostly WP:CIVIL, keeps rv'ing the images to remove any tags and then re-inserting them back into the articles he intended them for. I tried a 1 time rv on a couple of articles but to no avail. I am not one to edit war over this. Should the pics be PUI'd and the users antics reported? Just wondering. Cheers and take care!

Gas metal arc welding revert

Hi Span,
I seen that you reverted one of my edits (Gas metal arc welding) for product placement. I rewrote the passage without naming any specific product. I was trying incorporate a reference with the passage so that readers would not think that I was making it up or pulling in out of leftfield. Although it looks as if it came off as more of a cheap ad. Regards, —MJCdetroit 20:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beaver Stadium image

I'm not really sure what category it would fit under, but it does appear every year on the Beaver Stadium Parking & Information Guide [2], which is technically a magazine, no? BroadSt Bully 00:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spider Baby

Hi

New here so I'm curious as to why something I contributed got cut. On the Spider Baby entry I added info on the musical version that was produced in 2004. That info is gone. Why is this not noteworthy enough. Just so you know I'm not mad. I just thought it was a new wrinkle in the history of Spider Baby. Boffotaco 00:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Need admin assistance

Problems with a persistent user(and his IP sock) who continues to replace fair use images with his own improperly tagged uploads. I've attempted to provide some words of advice(directing the user to WP:FU and so on) But to no avail. Perhaps some admin persuasion may deter any further article disruption.(or maybe not) The user is Soheil b (talk · contribs) and his IP 85.133.165.177 (talk · contribs). Thanks and take care! Anger22 02:20, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Both user's "haunts" are on my watchlist. The recent user is new. SEGA and his IP sock have quite a long history. I can almost guarantee I will be seeing them again. Cheers! Anger22 03:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible sock has appeared Septic Tank (talk · contribs) seems to have the same kind of edit habits of SEGA and has restored some of that user's incorrectly sourced images back into the articles they were removed from. If you have the time to investigate that would be appreciated. Thanks and take care! Anger22 19:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More on the SEGA/Septic Tank/68.112.25.197 issue. Tonight 68.112.25.197 (talk · contribs) went on an image vandalism spree that was very deep. Not only was he removing tags, deleting over legitime edits to rv back to his own versions of certain articles...etc. His edit summaries included several personal attacks including racial/ethnic slurs directed against one particular user. Can this guy be given a seat on the sidelines for awhile??? He is becoming a painful thorn in the Wiki-side. Cheers. Anger22 05:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In case you're keeping track. The user, today in the form of Septic Tank (talk · contribs) has returned from their block and is back to the same image vandalism that got them blocked the other day. Cheers! Anger22 15:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Manual of style concerning dates

Hello Spangineer,

Um, could you take a look at the policy page on citing dates:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wp:mos#Dates

and then reply with why you think it's worth linking to the year or date of the Surprise Symphony? I doubt that anyone following such links would learn anything of use.

Yours sincerely, Opus33 19:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. Too bad there's no date-formatting tag that doesn't add an unwanted link. Yours truly, Opus33 00:44, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cimento.Org

He's back! [3][4][5]. I've reverted all three edits and warned him again. Argyriou 05:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thnank you

Thank you for leaving the link. 70.106.141.162 12:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Copyedit Requested

Hi there, I've currently got an article up on FAC here, although it's been requested that it gets a brief final copyedit from someone unfamiliar with the text and I was wondering if you could possibly take a look at it. I saw your contributions to other FAC's and you appear to be an active and very qualified copyeditor. I would really appreciate anything you could contribute but don't worry if you can't.

Hurricane Gustav (2002)

Reads perfectly fine to me. Would it be better to say "that was associated with"? – Ch acor 15:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for copyedit

Hi! This is regarding the article West Bengal which is in FAC at present. A copyedit of the article has been suggested, from someone who is unfamiliar with the text. May I request you to kindly have a look at the article and make/suggest changes? Thanks a lot. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! It's absolutely fine. FAC is not the end of improvement for an article, right? Your suggestions at any point of time will be most helpful.Thanks a lot. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be able to help?

I am new to the site and was creating a page - B-Girlz.

I was trying to make it as similar as possible to the page for Lady Bunny and I'm afraid I haven't been overly successful. I got a message about it looking like an ad. Can you give me some suggestions on how to correct this? I will follow any info you can give - and greatly appreciate the help —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Djwgilroy (talk • contribs) .

regarding b-girlz

I can find articles written about them - but not a great deal - one is on the homepage of their site - it leads to an article as follows: http://www.fabmagazine.com/features/296/b_girlz.html I removed all "commentary" or "descriptives" about them but am not sure what else would do the trick.

Thank you so much for the help :)
