Yeah baby, Archive 10 will be MINE!

Aaanyway... I just went through our pride and joy Velociraptor. Didn't really add anything new, just copyediting and formatting, general cleanup and so forth. Would you mind copyediting my copyedits if you have the time? Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestions on Daspletosaurus. I'm actually working on the refs right now so I'll work those changes in. Personally I think I'm ready to defend it for FAC, but I wanted to have the peer review to back it up (not that anyone responded of course). I'm working realllly long hours right now (left in the am and didn't get home til almost 10pm tonight) but I'll have time off in 2 days... I think I'll put Daspletosaurus up for FAC on Wednesday night. Just so you know what I'm thinking. And I'll be more than happy to look over the K-T article, I really want that one to be good actually since most of my fieldwork has been in the Hell Creek. I'll check it out some time in the next few days... right now I am gonna finish what I am doing on Daspi and then hit the sack though. Night!

That was a good move, but I'm just sorry it had to go that far. You have to admit that I tired to communicate with Fightingirish, but it seemed he was more interested in getting his own way. I may be tough to deal with, but he hasn't exactly been an Wiki-angel himself.

BTW, is there anyway to find out of anyone is using an anonymous IP address to make the same kind of edits? I think Fightingirish and "75.73.209.164" are one and the same.

Stop trying to blame this all on me! I only post under my username. The anonymous IP reverted my work. As far as I know, it could be you. Look, I'm trying to make this a good article. I revised the whole thing and added references.
And again, you were the one who started the revert war. Stop trying to pass yourself off as innocent! I think it's appalling when people try to bully their way around Wikipedia.

And you have to admit, I was the one who initially reached out to find out why my edits were being reverted. You did not. Stop trying to blame others for your own mischief. --Fightingirish 16:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-06-14T16:48:00.000Z","author":"Fightingirish","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Fightingirish-2007-06-14T16:48:00.000Z-KMSP-TV_page_protection","replies":["c-Firsfron-2007-06-14T17:00:00.000Z-Fightingirish-2007-06-14T16:48:00.000Z"]}}-->

I think I'll just respond here, as both users have posted to my talk page. It seems unlikely that 75 is Fightingirish, but a check user can be performed on request. Similarly, it seems unlikely that Rollo is 75, either, as the edits resolve to a Minnesota address. Still, a RFCU can also be performed. Leave a request on the checkuser page, and then when the results come back negative, let's discuss this on the article's talk page.

Sorry to litter your talk page with this crap. I took the liberty to redo the article this morning. I added updated information, along with references and cites, as you have complained that most TV articles lack. This is my last edit here, prior to the anonymous IP who reverted. I think this would be a good starting point for analyzing the article, to see what could be added or subtracted. So far, I think this is heading in the right direction. --Fightingirish 17:09, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-06-14T17:09:00.000Z","author":"Fightingirish","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Fightingirish-2007-06-14T17:09:00.000Z-Firsfron-2007-06-14T17:00:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

OK, my favorite dinosaur expert, I've put in a lot of edits to begin cleaning up this POS article. I've reworked the sections into something resembling an encyclopedic article. The writing is atrocious. In addition, I think I found an article from which much of the writing was plagiarized, which is a major no no. So, I'm beat. It's your turn. I'll clean up and add references, but I've struggled with the lead, and maybe you can rework it. Despite my obsession with post-KT dinosaurs (and Noah's Ark), I think that we gave undue weight to those animals, so I've cut a lot of the writing on it, and moved the best referenced parts to the bottom. It also appears that a couple of POV editors (with or without good intentions) added a lot about the Shiva crater, which from what I read probably isn't a crater. Anyways, I know you have made a lot of GA and FA articles. If you can spend an hour cleaning up some of it, I'll put in a few hours, and maybe we'll have something.

(Now that was a long header wasn't it?) There's a debate here about commas versus parentheses for scientific names for organisms (well in this case birds). I'm not sure whether this has been raised elsewhere but would be good to establish once and for all here and could apply as MOS across all biology articles. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-06-18T21:05:00.000Z","author":"Casliber","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Casliber-2007-06-18T21:05:00.000Z-Commas_or_parentheses_for_scientific_name_in_opening_sentence_and_elsewhere","replies":[]}}-->

You know that you can add the project to the new projects section of the Wikipedia:Community Portal once in a while, right? That sort of advertisement might help out a lot. I'm basically in a somewhat similar situation to the one you described with Wikipedia:WikiProject Saints, so I know where you're coming from. One thing that I have mentioned elsewhere is possible creation of a virtual "temp group" to help fulfill some of a given project's functions in the event of dormancy. Implementation of such an idea, of course, presents so many problems that I can see why no one has ever tried to follow through with it. One other possibility would be to maybe try to propose (somehow and somewhere, because I don't have a clue as to how either would be done) the creation of some sort of Vital Projects list, listing those which are and are not most important relative to content. I think that one will probably wait a few months before a bot which has been under discussion for something else is created. It's supposed to try to provide some sort of indication of the comparatively "objective" importance of a given article to wikipedia as a whole. Like I said, though, that's still in the development stages. Let me know if you can think of some specific tasks you want help with though, and I'll see what I can do.

One idea comes to mind. I know that some projects have an additional category which the presence of the banner places articles in. If the banner could be constructed to include that category, then a "recent changes" specialpage could be created which would more easily allow even one person to at least somewhat check on changes. Unfortunately, the only banners I know that do this also include some assessment criteria as well. Would you want to change the banner to accomodate assessments, and thus include that category, or not? There probably are other banners which do it as well, of course, but I honestly don't know of any right off. If you also want an assessment department, let me know and I should be able to set it up by the end of the day.

I'm becoming an old hand at assessments. If you wanted any particular help in that department, I could do at least some of the quality assessments. The importance assessments would be another matter entirely, but many projects only assess the top and High importance articles anyway, so that might not be as difficult as you might think.

Threats? What threats? Perhaps if you'd actually bothered to read the paragraph in question, instead of quoting it out-of-context, you'd see that the user in question made the same dumb-ass mistake you have made yourself, namely making the blanket assertion that any well-formed argument based on an essay is ipso facto nonsense.

I've let myself cool off after the unnecessarily heated KMSP and WNBC battles, but here's another of those small things that just sticks in my craw: TV9 has apparently done all he/she can to claim ownership of the WGN-TV article, to the point of nitpicking over correct use of capitalization (whether the word The should be capitalized within a sentence). But my main problem here is TV9 continues to incorrectly change the Wikilinks for both The WB Television Network and The CW Television Network to The WB and The CW. I correctly fixed the links to avoid redirects, but every time I've done this, TV9 changes it back, using claims of improper grammar as his/her excuse. I have commented to TV9 on how the links should be written in the article, but he/she has ignored my advice.

I am tired of coming to you complaining about small things like this, but I have no other alternative.

I just checked edit count & noticed that the count only had me down for 288 edits to the article Dinosaur. This is odd because I specifically remember that's the only article I've ever made over 300 edits to. How could my edit count for that article have gone down by 12 edits?

Gentlemen (I assume), you are both being defensive and I think unnecessarily so. I'm no newby and I have worked on (gasp) Dinosaurs before, even on the (much earlier) T-rex article. I even created a dinosaur article on a new find in Utah. But your pop section reads like a list because it came from a list and so I formatted it as a list to see what was really in there. As written, it is not worthy of a featured article. It needs to be rewritten in a historical context, i.e. the initial popular imagery arising from the representations/models of early finds and how that image has changed (slowly, since about the 1960's if I remember it right). I have a book by Horner (I think), that talks about the popular image of T-rex, its origins, and errors. That would be a good start. Then, I would eliminate all "pop" examples, except those that represent examples of how T-rex's image changed over time, i.e. King Kong vs Jurassic Park. The list article needs a great deal of work, and is way out of balance, but "popular culture" is one of Wikipedia's biggest weaknesses. As for Garcia, he came to the top of my head as I was thinking about what else could be added, so he can stay or go. Sawyer is a much better scifi example. If you think your "army" of reverters would stand for it, I'll add the section to my to-do list.

Is he saying that T rex isn't FA worthy, or that T rex in Pop culture isn't FA worthy. If it's the later; everybody knows that & you're welcome to rewrite it & expand it. Despite this, your above comment is confusing: First off, which article are you refering to? Secondly, Do you intend to remove all pop culture references from all dinosaur articles, or just T rex in pop culture? Thirdly, Garcia is not even close to being notable enough to put on the main T rex article, but he could certainly go in the T rex in pop culture article instead. Very confusing indeed...

Hey Firsfron, thanks for the note. Don't worry, I'm not going to let my feelings about Spawn Man curtail my Wikipedia activities. I'll stay just as active on the actual articles (as you say, there are thousands of them). There are other reasons I haven't been too involved with the project - I'm something of a lone-wolf by nature, and I'm so sporadic on the Wikipedia that I don't think it's worth putting my name down for actually doing jobs. I can't be bothered dealing with Spawn's kind of aggravation, so I'm not planning get any more involved with the project than I have been.

Hmmm, I smell treason about me.... It's always nice to know people never stop talking about you behind your back eh? I don't need you apologising for me Firs, I'm quite capable of doing it myself, as I already have in a way. I'm not a toddler any more; I don't need people cleaning up my messes & help getting to my feet or people apologising or fixing things when I trip up. If you have a problem about how I act, place it on my talk page, not someone elses. And if you feel like you're kowtowing around me, or trying not to upset me, that's you're fault & I never said you had to. I'm quite capable of taking a bit of critisism. This goes for everyone, as there's been this whole thing of "don't upset Spawn" going around. I've asked JC if he wants my name removed from the participants list on the project & I'll quite happily accept whatever decision he makes. I wouldn't want to be a problem or a hinder to anyone wanting to get things done around the project. In any case, it's good to know who your friends are...

Ya know what, if that's what you think of me then fine. As per my post on JC's talk page, people assume that my descriptive words are actually emotional. You're not really being a friend by saying stuff like that I can't go a week or so without an argument. People come into a situation with me and they've already got me in a bad light. They assume they'll have an argument with me, they assume I'll be critical, they assume I'll be nasty. And we all know what you wish for in your mind comes true. If you think negatively your subconscience reacts. For example, if I told several people that Firs was mean, and then told Sheepy to tell them that Firs was mean, those people would come into the situation thinking you were mean & act accordingly so without knowing your true nature. So not only do I not get a second chance with most people, I don't get a first chance & it really is tirng because of "friends" like you who can't fathom me going a week without an argument. I've been a lot longer than 40 days without an argument thank you very much, that counter was only there for a short time because I wanted to show an admin I was behaving, so that is not even close to how long I've really been without fights. So that's all I have to say really. You don't have to deal with me.

I've noticed that there are quite a few Todd Marshall images uploaded by User:Benosaurus on various articles. See Majungasaurus and Rajasaurus for instance. He says on his talk page that he asked Todd for permission to use the images in Wikipedia. I am... skeptical. How would be a good way to go about resolving this one way or the other?

While I was doing some editing for a task force, I added an environmental report published by an environmental organization which Reuters reported it regarding 56 companies and their policies on climate change. Of those 56 companies, some are fast food chains. An editor reverted all my additions to all fast food companies that the report mentioned, saying the report is published by a small environmental group and inappropriate to the articles. What I believe is that Reuters has at least checked the news for accuracy before publishing it, and fast food chains produced a lot of wastes which resulted in low marks in the report. I hope if you can intervene on this matter and suggest what to do next.

You can read more of the discussion between me and that editor at Talk:Burger King#Environmental report and both users' talk page.

I've been reworking Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event--yes the lead is improved. I've been digging up references for these dinosaurs, and short of a lot of Cryptozoology articles (talk about junk science), there's one hadrosaur femur in New Mexico, some supposed research in China (can't find references), and some information that dinosaurs existed above the K-T boundary in the Hell Creek formation. But really, there are precious few references supporting it, but a lot in opposition. Thinking about undue weight, I'm beginning to wonder if this needs to be a POV fork (and away from Living dinosaurs). Just a thought that maybe you can consider as we move forward.

Hi there. I am the webmaster of Tulsa TV Memories.

I noticed a dustup over the authority of some material presented on my site. The material in question is a University of Tulsa masters thesis, which I scanned, OCR'd, and painstakingly corrected, keeping every superscript and footnote exactly as they appeared on the printed copy.

Am I required to be a publisher for that material to be credible?

As you noted, my site is not a blog. It does have a "group blog" to allow readers to contribute.

I'm just curious; I don't intend to become involved with the Dumont article.

Hi Firsfron! Sorry I haven't been much help with the dinosaur project lately. I've been super busy. But I completely intend to go back to it and continue. You may have noticed that I wiki in short spurts before disappearing for months at a time. Anyway, I can't remember how to get rid of that box that shows up whenever you hover over a link. I believe you're the one who told me how to set it up, and at the time it was useful, but I'd like to disable it for a bit because it is seriously inhibiting my ability to edit anything. (I don't know if it's because I'm on Opera or what but it won't GO AWAY once it shows up.) Anyway, could you remind me how to turn it off? THANK YOU!!!

I've gotten myself in a kerfuffle (just read my talk page) over an aggressive editor who, for some reason, has appointed him or herself as the keeper of archiving. They went at Talk:Creation science pretty badly, and the fallout has been tremendous. I've got an ANI, totally unfair, although I admit my tolerance of bad behavior is minimal, a warning on my User talk page, another editor User:ConfuciusOrnis has been blocked for trying to clean up the mass archiving of a contentious article, and another editor User:Filll has be slapped around too. I'm coming here because I think you know me well enough to know that I'm not here to destroy articles, kick around noobs, or even to cause mass trouble. I've been attacked by sockpuppets who have vandalized my page (and the user who is the root of all of this trouble, Fatalis, actually vandalized my talk page, although some people are AGFing him, which I can't, especially after several reprimands of his archiving and reverting issues). I'm not whining here, because this has been a major waste of time. I was so frustrated by Fatalis, that I didn't focus on the K-T article which I think we've made some headway. If you think that this garbage is best left in the dump, then so be it. It's just not fair when someone goes off the deep end like Fatalis, calls people names left and right, whines to several admins, who don't spend more than a nanosecond looking into the record (yeah, my AGF skills are shot today), and one editor (a good one) gets blocked (thereby killing any support he'll get to be an admin himself), and I get a warning and an ANI (thereby killing my chances to ever to be an admin). I trust you, so if you have any sage advice, or you've got a T. rex to sick on someone (other than me of course), I'd appreciate it.

I was wondering if you could review this post and warn the editor that this type of attitude is inappropriate. We've spent a goodly amount of time on Herpes zoster cleaning up the unscientific mess. Two editors, in plain violation of NPOV and undue weight, are attempting to add unscientific and frankly fringe theories to the article. They have engaged in slow edit warring, but several editors have reverted the mess. Her posting sounds like a threat, so I hope a gentle warning from an admin will help out. Thanks.

Herpes Zoster Fishtalk

I first posted a section on the botanical treatment of herpes zoster, with 24 reliable pubMed references. I treat patients and have had success using reliable, documentable botanical treatment, which in most of the developing world, and even in parts of the developed world, is the standard form of medicine. Orangemarlin reverted it saying that "Homeopathy is fringe medicine". I had not mentioned homeopathy, which is fringe, despite better than placebo trials published in the Lancet, but frankly I don't do homeopathy nor do I have much interest in whether it works, I do material botanical medicine, which was the standard US hospital medicine my father practiced before WW2. His entire premise for reversion was "Homeopathy is pseudoscience, and herbs are homeopathy", a premise that is pretty darn ignorant. I even defined the terms and referred him to Wikipedia articles that defined the terms, but he shrilly held to his "homeopathy is pseudoscience" which while probably true is irrelevant to the edits in question. (Does the guy even care if he can't define words properly?) He similarly held that vitamins, posted by Jagra, with a long list of pubMed references, were akin to crystals. Not a good faith edit in either case. When he started implying that the German pharmaceutical studies were Nazi studies, he lost any pretense to good faith.

Now it is true that some (not all) of the studies have focused more on herbal treatment of H. simplex than H. zoster, but the medications derived from them have been used since the 60s for zoster and are hardly considered fringe in say Germany or most of Europe. Jagra makes good points that in his part of the world, patients are rarely diagnosed within the 72 hour window when antivirals are useful and tend to be too poor to use them, so use other means. However treatments that he and I have posted about, with decent scientific backing even when not 100% proven, have been used clinically throughout India, Africa, Europe and Asia and can be used when antivirals are either unavailable or medical care delivery is delayed. In fact as Jagra pointed out, many of the vitamin treatments work on the immune system, and help people throw off the shingles. While Orangemarlin may not think that is relevant, I don't know a single doctor who treats shingles without a patient attached, and the patient's immunological function is certainly relevant, and may pointedly predispose them to zoster in the absence of specific nutrients as the pubMed references Jagra mentioned implied.

It would be acceptable to have a separate section on botanical and nutrient treatment, stating that the gold standard is antivirals, but that they must be given within 72 hours and other treatment is complementary or useful when those conditions cannot be met. Frankly I have no interest in preventing patients who have access to antivirals from doing so, unless their livers are shot, although I have seen combination botanical and pharmaceutical treatment be more successful than either alone. Zoster hurts. It is also perfectly acceptable to state the strengths and weaknesses of any studies. However reverting them and calling them fringe or not preponderant weakens Wikipedia and hides knowledge used in the rest of the English speaking world, and which is of interest to pharmaceutical companies seeking new products or people unable to access US style care. The ethnocentrism and selective ignorance used to revert the edits, in lieu of improving the descriptions does not further the goals of Wikipedia, and certainly do not meet basic NPOV.

If the liver is shot, Herpes Zoster is the least of one's concerns.
Realistically speaking, herbal remedies are of highly debatable efficacy, and the studies undertaken to prove efficacy are generally very poorly done. Note that I said prove, not determine: as with homeopathy it seems very much to matter what the stated purpose of the study is.
In any case, a section on herbal remedies, assuming it does not violate undue weight, would be acceptable to me. Keep in mind that other editors will be free to point out the debatable efficacy of herbal remedies, including the facts that H. zoster is a self-limiting disease and that herbal remedies are likely to address the symptoms, not the underlying disease. •Jim62sch• 15:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-10T15:36:00.000Z","author":"Jim62sch","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Jim62sch-2007-07-10T15:36:00.000Z-Ksvaughan2-2007-07-09T23:21:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"•Jim62sch•"}}-->

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

You have received this message either due to your membership with WikiProject: Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. --Nehrams2020 03:45, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-11T03:45:00.000Z","author":"Nehrams2020","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Nehrams2020-2007-07-11T03:45:00.000Z-July_2007_GAC_backlog_elimination_drive","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks, Firs.

I am new to this and quite shaky, especially in formatting my entries, and especially my references. Please feel free to tidy my stuff up wherever you feel I need it.

Your own work is impressive and prolific.

Since I have access to almost all dinosaur monographs (with the exception of some of the journals published in mandarin) I thought that I could help out by contributing material directly from them.

Firsfron, I appreciate the opportunity to clarify my situation with you. I am an contributor, having edited radio station pages in the U.S. for some time now... admittedly, one such article regarding a radio station where I've worked for the last 17 years -- contributing what I hope is unbiased fact.

Recently, a section of an article that lists the current on-air personalities and the shifts they fill was removed by a user claiming the info was a "promotional schedule and listing". I undid those changes, noting that "programme lists and schedules may be acceptable". Subsequently, the user once again deleted my info claiming that "WP is not an electronic program guide". I undid the changes again, noting that the info "is NOT an electronic programming guide, it is in fact a significant programme list/schedule". This time I added a section in the discussion portion of the article, where I went into more depth about this topic -- citing your recent discussion about schedules and program lists. You can also see the history of the article in question here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WNCX&action=history.

My question to you is that the recent discussion on this topic centered primarily around current Television schedules -- with only a casual mention of Radio. This seems to have started some confusion perhaps, on the clarity of this topic for radio. There are thousands of radio stations in the USA -- with MOST articles having their on-air personality schedules on them (I believe what you in the UK refer to as "presenters"). It is important to note, that most radio stations schedules do not change for very long periods of time... for example the radio station that I edited this article about (as in years). Thus, the information could and should be considered historical, should it not? To have it removed citing this policy really makes me wonder what is the policy here? So I am seeking you out for clarity, so that this other user and I don't continue changing each others changes. I note that this particular user changed many of the articles about radio stations in this particular city -- and has made numerous other changes to many other articles about radio stations throught the US, citing this same policy. So where do you think radio schedules fall? Current or historic?

Thanks again for the opportunity.

I'll chime in here, since I have been one of the people that has been removing these promotional schedules from articles. I really do feel that there needs to be some discussion of this topic, so we can sort this all out once and for all.
I am of the mindset that this stuff is mere clutter, and just duplicates what is on the station's website. And while the odd station here or there may have some solidity in their on-air roster, that is certainly not the case for most of the stations out there. Articles for TV stations don't have the whole on-air schedules on them, so why should radio stations? For large markets like New York, L.A., San Francisco, etc., I have been more lenient, since at many of these stations, a good deal of the on-air talents are actual celebrities, and are well-known in the industry. But Cleveland? No offense, but I just don't see the mention of the early Sunday morning public affairs show to be of vital importance. There is no real credible reason for schedules of this type to be included in an article. I will say that I have compromised a bit and rewritten some on-air schedules in truncated paragraph form.
I just posted the following at Wikiproject:Radio Stations. Here's the text:
I've run across quite a few of these things. These are long lists and schedules listing every on-air shift and every on-air personality at the station, even down to the Sunday morning public affairs shows. I've noticed that many of these have been put into the articles by radio station employees themselves. In fact, I'm currently involved in an editing conflict with a radio station employee who obviously think that adding this stuff is of vital importance. Take this one for example:

Quite frankly, I feel this is rather excessive, is promotional, long, poorly laid out, irrelevant, filled with names of people few people really care about and merely duplicates information found on the stations' web sites. These are too directory-like and full of unimportant information. I think it's time to address this issue and see what others involved in the project think about schedules on radio station articles. Personally, unless we're talking New York or L.A. or some talk station, this is really useless information, particularly for a market like Cleveland. Especially when one can find this on the station's website. And it's certainly not a place to promote one's buddies.
In closing, many of the radio articles suffer from massive bloat. Take WCBS-FM for example. I tried paring this thing down, to be straight to the point and a nice read, without all the rambling. This was even after many people complained about how poorly written the article was prior. The thanks I got? People reverted all the changes and added even more crap, including a whole list of the station's management and sales department. Unreal! My goal is merely to help make these articles to the point, easy to read, free from spam and advertising, factual, filled with key historical and technical information, and above all, an interesting read for casual visitors. And quite frankly, I think this should be key to any article. Correct me if I'm wrong. --Fightingirish 00:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-18T00:02:00.000Z","author":"Fightingirish","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Fightingirish-2007-07-18T00:02:00.000Z-Djockers-2007-07-17T22:42:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Howdy Firs! Quick question for you: What do you think of this article? I think the "Notable Personalities" and "News/Station Presentation" sections should be removed, but I was recently questioned after taking a similar action on some other stations. Does the TV wikiproject have a consensus on these kinds of sections?

Hey Fang Aili!
First off, thanks for your quick action regarding the Mmbabies IPs. I did receive your e-mail and Isotope's, and am looking into it. I knew I could count on you to help find a solution.
Regarding KRQE.. what do I think of it? Well, Bergmann (2002) indicates it was a DuMont affiliate until 1955, but that's not mentioned in the history section, naturally. Instead, there's an emphasis on recent events (the station jumps to 1995 in the third paragraph!). It seems to me that the "Trivia" items could be combined elsewhere, and the section heading removed. There was a compromise about on-air personalities, that if they weren't truly notable enough for their own articles, they would just be mentioned in the station article. Some station articles are so list-crufty that I have even removed janitors and secretaries from station staff lists. For now, WP:TVS has decided to list only on-air personalities: people who are recognizable in that market (some markets cover entire states). The rest of the article seems to conform to WP:TVS#Article_structure (yes, even the FCC links and the News/Station Presentation).
Yes, a lot of these articles are cruft-filled, but the WP:TVS editors fought long, hard, and ultimately unsuccessfully to keep their galleries of Fair Use images, and are still stinging from that. If you'd like to restructure these articles, for your own sanity I'd reccommend you discuss it on the WP:TVS page first so that a compromise can be reached. There's so much work to be done on these articles that I don't even know where to start, but I can certainly support a clean-up effort (or, you know, even basic citations!).

Hi Firs. I recently found the mentioned portal after it was placed in the related portals section of the dino portal. I checked it out & saw it had a number of problems which were in violation of the fair use policy among others. Firstly, none of the pictures on the portal (all of which are fair use) have fair use rationale. I expressed this to the user (User:Cuddly Panda) who has been the sole contributor of the portal with no reply. On closer inspection, it seems the user has been uploading & adding fair use images to wikipedia for some time now, possibly upwards of a year, & despite numerous warning from automated bots etc, has now seemed to learn from this or the links provided or ceased their image infringements. Just check out the user's talk page - nearly every message is a message about the misuse of uploads. In addition to this, the portal is very poor in quality, unmaintained and relies heavily on unfree images and poor portal sections (some of which have already been nominated for deletion). So I wanted to ask you what action I could take next. There's a few options:

1) Obviously the user is not listening to warnings & my messages, so could I possibly bring this up at the administrator's noticeboard? They could then decide what to do next.
2) Since sections of the JP Portal are being nomianted for deletion already, I could potentially nominate the whole portal at MfD with a vote of "no opinion". This would see what other editors think of the portal & even if it is kept, the portal's fair use pictures problem would still be sorted out by the end of the nomiantion.
3) I'll probably do this anyway, but the user is on Editor Review & I could also place a note there explaining what the user is doing wrong & how to remedy this.

So, I'd personally like to do all three, but if you can think of something else & help me decide which of those, if any, to carry out, it would be appreciated. I'll post this to another admin just to get a second opinion as well.

Lol - Kinda funny we both thought we were mad at each other... Anyway, I feel kinda useless around the Dino Project at the moment. I think I've done my dash in regard to Dino FAs as we move into the more specialised dinosaur genera & not many people seem to like me anyway, so I'm thinking of withdrawing. I've given it some thought, especially after the John Conway argument & I've decided I'd rather have him than me in a project any day. I don't want to keep him from joining and the whole argument with him unnerved me a bit, so I think it'll be for the best. Hopefully I'll find some other project to latch on to lol. Anyway, I wouldn't neglect my responsibilities at the dino portal, but I'd probably go solo on here. Anyway, just thought you should know.

Geesh, you stay up late! Nah, he specifically said he wouldn't join because I was joined too. Silly I know, but I'd rather you guys had him than someone who have run out of enthusiasm & was never really that good at writing dinosaur articles anyway. I've just realised that I'm not really that liked on here; I'm never going to make admin & I might as well tuck myself away, not answer my talk page & just disappear. It's either I leave the project or just leave Wikipedia altogether. There just seems to be this big anti spawn campaign where people don't let things go & I really don't want to deal with it right now. It's been a really hard year for me - deaths, sicknesses, my whole family split up effectively, job issues, and now this place seems to hate me. Don't try & console me, becuase I probably wont hear you right now, but that's just how I feel & I know it's more or less true. I just can't put up with the stress. Anyway, I'm sure I can live without human communication on here for a while...

Thanks for the kind words. :) As the article states, yes, the Alaska dispute would be too small to show up, but I'll probably add some mention of it. As for Labrador, if I recall, I note that for the purpose of simplifying the map, I use Newfoundland's definition of "coasts of Labrador" instead of Quebec's. As I understand it, Quebec had no physical claim to the area anyway, which was shown when the border was set even further back than Quebec expected. I may think of something, though. --Golbez 12:44, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-19T12:44:00.000Z","author":"Golbez","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Golbez-2007-07-19T12:44:00.000Z-Territorial_evolution_of_Canada","replies":[]}}-->

This may be outside of your current interest, but you should read this crap. I'm a big time pro-Gore, anti-destruction of the environment liberal, but I had to delete a statement (unsourced of course) that says the Holocene event was the largest of the six extinction events. I'm hard-pressed to consider Holly an actual extinction event, but maybe it fits the definition. So, do you want to help write about mastadons, and other mammalian species? Or are you more of a dino-dude?

Katie is getting ready to have her Bat mitzvah and become an adult. What do you think? I haven't gotten the peer-review that I wanted, but I did get a bot peer-review, and I made a number of changes. I also reviewed WP:MOS, and it appears to be there. I got rid of a lot of weasel words, cleaned up the language here and there, checked the references, and got her a new dress.

Hi Firsfron, My wife, a former student of yours and now admin, suggested that I contact you. She's been pushing me for months to become an admin because she's tired of taking care of issues I identify. So I've decided to take the plunge and explore the possibility of becoming an Admin. I currently have close to 5000 edits and 40-50 new articles. I tend to drift around between AFD/GAR/DYK and writing new articles. It is the DYK that has lead me to decide to become an Admin. I'm very active in the Poker Project and somewhat active in the Scouting/Military projects. I have one article that made it to FA, a few GA, and 15 or so DYK. As an FYI, I should mention that we are going to a wedding this weekend and won't have much access to WP.Balloonman 04:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-03T04:35:00.000Z","author":"Balloonman","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Balloonman-2007-08-03T04:35:00.000Z-taking_anymore_students?","replies":["c-Balloonman-2007-08-10T04:05:00.000Z-Balloonman-2007-08-03T04:35:00.000Z"]}}-->

Codyfinke6 (contributions) has been making unhelpful edits to various television articles. For example, s/he continues to incorrectly edit WNYW to add the "What New Yorkers Watch", a newscast slogan no longer used by the station, as the meaning of the WNYW call letters. And, s/he also added a useless redirect to "Jennifer Lopez (meteorologist)" to the Weather Channel entry.

I have asked him/her to refrain from making unconstructive edits, and to no avail. Could you please intervene?

Perhaps I should have clarified that WNYW rarely uses the "What New Yorkers Watch" slogan on-air these days, especially since the Fox News Channel-like rebranding. I can't really stand to watch their product, but I saw enough of it to know how its being used -- or more accurately, not being used. I did leave a comment for Codyfinke6 for verification, but s/he never responds to any messages.
Also, Codyfinke6 has been repeatedly and inaccurately alterating WABC-TV by adding the incorrect branding for its newscasts ("ABC 7 Eyewitness News" instead of the correct "Channel 7 Eyewitness News"). What he/she really needs to do is start commenting on their talk page.

Thanks for leaving the message on Codyfinke6's talk page. But as I told you, he doesn't respond to messages. He readded the slogan again to WNYW in this edit ([2]), and also readded the incorrect news branding at WABC-TV ([3]). I reverted those changes in both articles for the umpteenth time.

Thanks for blocking Codyfinke6, even if it's just for 24 hours. Hopefully he/she gets the message. But, me thinks Codyfinke6 is an alternate user name of another editor, Finkefamily (contribs), who has made very similar edits in the past (though none since early July) and also doesn't answer talk page responses.

Hi Firs! I think I've done pretty well staying under the radar recently - heck nobody even knew it was my second first edit day bar one guy! Mind you no one would have remembered anyway lol. ;) Anyway, I've still got a nagging feeling about that user User:Cuddly Panda. Firstly, I get blocked on site for any incivilty, however it ergs me that this user has been abusing the image and uploading system numerous times for a long while without even a single warning. After I came to you with this problem last time, I gave the user a comment about the uploading rules, which they ignored, and as I said I'd do, I placed a complaint on the admin's noticeboard. This went without any comments on it and nobody warned the user. Since then I've seen the user place at least one fair use image (without trying to look for more as I've got better things to do) on Tyrannosaurus in popular culture without fair use rationale (I've noted on the article's AfD that it needs rationale) so this indicates that the user has not responded to any of the messages I've left or the bot warnings. I'm coming to you not as a friend, but as a user who is citing another user for abuse of the system. A simple warning would make me happy, as the user has not recieved one despite my best efforts. And the noticeboard hasn't been useful either times I've managed to use it, so I thought I'd see if you could do something. People listen to admins. Cheers Firs. :) Spawn Man 05:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-15T05:02:00.000Z","author":"Spawn Man","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Spawn_Man-2007-08-15T05:02:00.000Z-Breaking_my_vow_of_silence:","replies":[]}}-->

P.S. I also have a hunch that the user is also using a sockpuppet - I'd do it myself, but I don't know how, but is there a way we could check user User:Not an anon anymore? The user has the same user boxes, has been in contact with Cuddly Panda, has had the same problems formatting their signature, writes in similar articles and has a similar mannerism. I thought this might be enough to warrant doubt? And none of their edits overlap by the looks of things. Anyway, please get back to me.

Hi there,

You recently decategorised this image, possibly among others. Is this a temporary move? Is there a more appropriate way to categorise images? I personally find it very useful to be able to find images via categories, so would prefer that the tag stayed.

Thanks,

Creating a separate category sounds like a good idea. I think I'll put in a bot request to move all images to an associated image category.
And thanks for the comment! But I'm afraid I'll have to decline the offer. I'm one of the very few Palæontologists who doesn't have the slightest interest in the beasts! The project's done some brilliant work though - I often wish a similarly dedicated and enthusiastic task force could be mustered to counter the lack of good articles about "interesting stuff", i.e. things that happened before it all got boring about 400 million years ago… Verisimilus T 17:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-25T17:35:00.000Z","author":"Verisimilus","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Verisimilus-2007-08-25T17:35:00.000Z-Verisimilus-2007-08-25T13:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-J._Spencer-2007-08-25T20:29:00.000Z-Verisimilus-2007-08-25T17:35:00.000Z"]}}-->

No way! I only happened to notice that the article was listed on FAC and chipped in with a f<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s">ew comments because it's a subject that I know a wee bit about. I was not expecting the level of vitriol, aggression and downright abuse that has come my way since....looking through my edits I'm genuinely not sure what exactly I did to deserve it, but I must have done something. Anyway, life is too short to put up with that sort of nonsense, I think I'll just leave it to others to edit that particular article. I have listed the situation on WP:AN/I in an effort to get someone to calm things down, but I don't think I'll be editing anything to do with the KTB in future. Thank you for your kind words however, and I do think the article is good - just not FA good, at least at present.

Thank you again. Yes, I made a few changes. I'm almost afraid to open my mouth here, but here goes anyway...(in my opinion) there is still quite a lot to do. Those were mainly minor wording/stylistic changes that are easy to do (and of which there are many more, I only stopped because I was tired and needed to go to bed); the main work is a) expanding the "evidence" section to remove the parochial focus on North America and dinosaurs; b) expanding upon the issues of sea level change as an actual killing mechanism or as inducing a false pattern of extinction as a preservational artefact; c) going through the references and checking that they actually correspond to what is written in the text and haven't been misinterpreted; d) repeated minor fixes/stylistic changes; e) adding a few points and including a few more references (although in terms of number, I think the article is quite well referenced already). There may be other things that come to mind, but those are the major points that spring forward to me at present. To do that lot would take me at the very least a couple of weeks if not longer. To tell you the truth, I don't enjoy editing geology articles and if I hadn't been bullied into it I wouldn't be doing it, it's a lot of work. But given the circumstances I will obviously do what I can.

Well, nil desperandum. It's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into the page and it is much improved. I'm a palaeontologist, but not a specialist on this particular subject. I don't have first-hand total recall of sources or facts - a (very rough) two week estimate is based around the fact that some time would have to be spent getting hold of papers and references and, given the problems with the dinoflagellate source, checking references to make sure they are quoted accurately. In reality the actual work involved is 2-4 days of reasonably solid editing, or two or more weeks of part-time editing, but I'm afraid I have a job and a life and I'm not going to spend 2-4 days solidly editing this article, which in truth I'm not really that interested in and which I only happened across by accident on FAC....however, now that the situation appears to have calmed down a bit, and having undertaken to help, I'll do what I can.

And per this, I'm not going to be editing that particular page in future. It's just not worth the continual hassle.

And again. In filing an RfC, the rules specifically stipulate that: Before requesting community comment, at least two editors must have contacted the user on their talk page, or the talk pages involved in the dispute, and tried but failed to resolve the problem. Because the attacks have kind of been flying in from all sides here, I'm not sure that this is the case this time (I would name Filll, Orangemarlin, and ConfuciusOrnis as the principal attackers, per WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL, WP:AGF, etc. I think this is a fair assessment and I'm no longer willing to let the matter slide and let the next good-faith editor who tries to help be bullied and abused in this way.) As an admin and a person more expert in these things than me, can you (if possible) advise if an RfC (which seems the most logical course and has been suggested on AN/I) is indeed possible, or otherwise advise as to the next step to take if it isn't?

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Specimens of Tyrannosaurus, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: CM 9380. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

With regards to edit summaries like this, could you please consider using "apostrophe misuse" as opposed to "apostrophe abuse"? I'm sure 95% of editors wouldn't care, but for the 5% that would, removing a lone apostrophe with that edit summary could be construed as an unnecessary slight.

Please don't stop with the feedback. You are most welcome to ask me anything. I can't speak for everyone, because there are those that seem to take all criticism as negative, but I personally think it is the only way to grow. I am old enough to know that nobody knows everything, and those who think they do probably stopped learning long before they were finished. That is not to say that it doesn't help when your intentions are obviously good, which your demeaner shows.

Petey is a major mess. It's further along than Katie was, but the major problem is poorly formatted references, some references that don't actually support the statements, some prose that is poorly written, and lack of detail. I'm wondering if Katie is a good "template" (not officially, but you know it is FA) for how we should write Petey?

Hey Firs, I "followed" the discussion....and I seen no external (off Wikipedia) proof that PTEN was an actual television network (like CBS or NBC) and not just a syndicated program distributor. I reverted Spshu's changes to the WWOR-TV page and posted a Warn 1 warning on his talk page. He continued to state that he would revert changes (which would constitute vandalism) and I told him that if he did so, I would report him to AIV. If he would show external proof, a NY Times article, an old TV Guide (those are easy to find online) something...I would be convinced, but he hasn't and I am not. I stand by my statement that if he readds the information to the TV station pages I will report him to AIV. - NeutralHomer T:C 15:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-09-21T15:48:00.000Z","author":"Neutralhomer","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Neutralhomer-2007-09-21T15:48:00.000Z-Spshu-2007-09-21T15:40:00.000Z","replies":["c-Neutralhomer-2007-09-21T17:37:00.000Z-Neutralhomer-2007-09-21T15:48:00.000Z"]}}-->
Which is what I told Spshu. When told that he would readd it as a network, not a syndication distributor, then that (in my opinion) would have been vandalism. If he had showed me something that said PTEN was a network (ouside of Wikipedia) I would have been convinced, but when even the Chris-Craft Industries page says PTEN "was planned to expand into the fifth television network but fizzled into a syndication brand" and he continues to push it as a full-blown network, then what am I supposed to do? Him calling myself and Rollosmokes also wasn't helping his case.
Regardless, if PTEN is a syndication distributor, then Spshu should not add it under "former affiliations" in the infobox. We don't classify CBS Television Distribution, Disney-ABC Domestic Television, or KingWorld as an affiliation, so PTEN shouldn't be listed as an affiliation. - NeutralHomer T:C 17:37, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-09-21T17:37:00.000Z","author":"Neutralhomer","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Neutralhomer-2007-09-21T17:37:00.000Z-Neutralhomer-2007-09-21T15:48:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Once again, I have tried to correct longstanding problems at WGN-TV regarding punctuation, grammar, and redundancy. However, TV9 has continued to revert any and all changes back to his/her preferred version rather than acknowledge the corrections. TV9 has also used IP addresses "163.192.21.44" and "163.192.21.43" -- both of which are registered to the Tribune Company -- and "144.74.1.134" (registered to a Chicago hospital) to make similar edits to both mine, and others', work on the WGN-TV page. In the past, I have tried to reason with this user and it has been to no avail. TV9 and his/her sockpuppet IPs are clearly in WP:OWN and WP:POINT territory.
