• Hey, I just had a quick look at Clifton's Cafeteria--nice! Of course, I didn't check to see if your punctuation was plagiarized or not, which is entirely possible. I didn't know it was featured in On the Road, which I read long, long before I ever came to the US (and so many things didn't make sense to me, but it did make for a different and probably valuable reading experience). Speaking of new things, I went to a baseball game tonight, for the first time in my life. The mascot, Big Mo, even came to our box--unfortunately just as my oldest daughter was on the playground, and the five-month old didn't seem to care, haha. But the fast food (and the fried chicken with biscuits and white gravy) was pretty good, and fun, since I never eat that. And I had a couple of beers with my colleague, and forgot all about stuff for a couple of hours.

    • Wow, nice... Thanks for that shot. The summer semester has started here, and I miss being home in the summer, doing (next to) nothing.

As I promised myself I spent Sunday with my family, drank too much beer and even hosted a last minute BBQ (sorry you couldn't make it). I even managed to take a friend of mine to school in Mario Kart. I want to thank you again for nominating my for adminship in addition to all the other support you provided. As for my justification for withdrawal, I felt that the examples provided by BuddingJournalist/TwilligToves showed me that I need to focus on my content contributions before I am ready to branch out in other areas of responsibility. While my opinion was that Ottava's examples were taken out of context (as I showed), the larger ones were not. The decision was not based on whether or not I felt I was in violation of any policy or guideline it was something I felt was the right thing to do. My primary focus here is content and I need to have that down before I can advance further. As I explained I felt that Ottava's examples were enough to point out that I had some work to do but not enough to hang me from the proverbial yardarms. This is in regards to two issues (1) WP:PLAGIARISM was only promoted to a guideline on 20 May (or about 11 days ago), so I feel it is a little early to claim people are in violation of it (since nobody actually did say I was in violation of it I did not bring it up, but I felt the intention was there) (2) as you have stated (and I will bring up again), the definition is far too ambiguous to be used in any discussion regarding an editors actions, and based on that alone in my opinion the guideline does not hold water. I appreciated Ottava's assumption of good faith and his going neutral following my efforts to correct them. I am not sure which way the actual RfA would have gone if it had fully proceeded, and truthfully right now I do not want to think about it. Now I have some serious matters to get to, as I recall there was a request from Bongo to have an article written about some bug, and now that this and the bacon challenge are over I can get back to improving the encyclopedia, which is all I ever wanted to do. I am glad you got to a baseball game, I was at a Reno Aces game a few weeks ago, good times and a great park (brand new too). If you are in the area let me know and we can catch one. Cheers and happy editing. --kelapstick (talk) 16:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-01T16:19:00.000Z","author":"Kelapstick","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Kelapstick-2009-06-01T16:19:00.000Z-Thanks_again","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-06-01T16:39:00.000Z-Kelapstick-2009-06-01T16:19:00.000Z"]}}-->

K, you are a nice guy, and a much better man than I am, I think. I agree absolutely on the two issues. I felt like tanking the whole WP thing, but there's too much work to be done. But right now I'm focusing on only one tiny little thing, one article, and am leaving the rest for what it is--I'm sure that won't be forever. (I did make some minor edits to that Barrock mine article, but didn't feel like removing the template yet--I don't want to appear to spiteful, and besides, who knows what the guidelines are?) As for BBQ, that's always a good thing. I enjoy cooking it more than eating it, haha. I got some hickory from Publix; earlier, I used scrap oak from various carpentry projects. Thanks for the note. You know you have made a ton of friends here on WP--just look at the list of names of supporters. Take it easy!

Speaking of the Netherlands, I forgot to tell you that I watched a whole segment on European Journal about the collapsing pension system in the Netherlands. And it seems they are pushing back the reirement age to 67.

Please stop removing the cover version from this article. "Some other band" (Saint Etienne's) version is notable enough to be included and to have an infobox, as it charted as a top-40 UK single and a number-one U.S. dance single. Song articles within Wikipedia include original versions, as well as notable covers and/or remixes. If you are going to make such a huge, sweeping change to an article, please take it up on the Talk Page first.

Well, I don't think that it is against policy to keep them together; in fact I can give you a zillion examples of song articles that include more than one version of the same song.... although I'm sure you've seen quite a few throughout WP. I will, however, (if you'd like) assist in beefing up the Neil Young portion. I do agree that it is extremely lopsided (that extensive track list section probably isn't imperative) but that's not a reason to spin off the Saint Etienne part. - eo (talk) 20:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-04T20:01:00.000Z","author":"Ericorbit","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ericorbit-2009-06-04T20:01:00.000Z-Ericorbit-2009-06-04T18:04:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-06-04T20:13:00.000Z-Ericorbit-2009-06-04T20:01:00.000Z"],"displayName":"eo"}}-->

Hey Eric, I'll keep it here, so we don't have to go back and forth all the time. The way I look at it, the Saint Etienne version is a spin-off, and so the article should be too, and, as I mentioned before, it deserves its own article. And part of the problem, besides the lopsidedness (which could be solved by editing and writing), is the double set of infoboxes, which I find confusing and esthetically not very pleasing, and the somewhat strange set of categories. Again, it seems to me that the article is about a song, by Neil Young, on After the Gold Rush (and the infobox should be, IMO, for "song" and not for "single"), sure, with one of those "for the hit by Saint Etienne, see etc." lines at the top; and a no.1 hit single should get its own article. Combining them suggests that the Saint Etienne single isn't notable enough in its own right to have an article despite having been a no.1 hit.

I do see the point, but I look at it this way: an article is about a song. Someone writes it, records it, puts it on an album, releases it as a single, has a hit. Lovely. Someone else records their interpretation, has another hit with it. And so on. All of this is part of the history of the song. i.e, in a perfect encyclopedia (I'm dreaming here) there would be info on the inspiration of the song, what went into recording it, maybe some chart info.... then (below) more on what made Artist #2 choose this song to record, how it was produced, etc. (all this assuming of course it meets notability guidelines). I think breaking things up causes more confusion. I do know that, years ago, this kind of thing got wayy out of control with articles being made about every cover version and remix out there (for example there was an article for Whitney Houston's version of "Star Spangled Banner" and Christine Aguilera's "Christmas Song", two songs covered by approximately 50 billion artists). So per the naming conventions at WP:SONG, all of these articles marked as "(single)" were combined and named uniformly with "(song)". As far as the infobox is concerned, I do see how this could look gaudy to some people, but that's (I think) something that could be taken up in a different discussion with editors who would want to improve the look of infoboxes to make them flow better. Neil Young's version should have a single infobox because, well, it was a single. Saint Etienne's should also be there — both versions have varying degrees of success in different realms of the music world, no?

Take a look at some of these and just tell me what you think: granted some of these may also be "lopsided" but most of the time the combining works quite well: I Love Rock 'n' Roll, The Passenger (song), Venus (Shocking Blue song), Valerie (The Zutons song), It's My Life (Talk Talk song), I'll Be There. - eo (talk) 20:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-04T20:40:00.000Z","author":"Ericorbit","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ericorbit-2009-06-04T20:40:00.000Z-Drmies-2009-06-04T20:13:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-06-04T20:56:00.000Z-Ericorbit-2009-06-04T20:40:00.000Z"],"displayName":"eo"}}-->

The current templates on those two articles don't really deal with plagiarism, but with copyright violations, which are different and require admin attention (our copyright pages are policy while our plagiarism page is a guideline). (By the way, do you understand the difference between our copyright policy and the plagiarism guideline? Not meant to be a condescending question, but a legitimate and sincere inquiry [the two are confusing at times, I know]. It just seems that from my previous conversations with you, and your latest message on my talk page, you're mixing the two.) This is because all content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with GFDL, even old versions of articles. Therefore, if there are any copyright violations, admins peruse the history of the article and delete the contributions that contain them. These templates are part of this set process, and I would be wary of touching them. I've never been a fan of how big and scary they look, but I assume it's due to the legal implications when dealing with copyvios; they were created long before I joined WP.

I believe the reason why editors are cautioned not to do further editing on the pages is to just make life easier for the admins who look into the articles, so they don't have to do more work in making sure revisions are free of copyvios. In any case, an admin should be along shortly to deal with these two articles. As stated in the instructions, anyone can continue working on the text elsewhere, such as a subpage in the talk namespace. Does that help?

By the way, if you can point me to a source that actually legitimizes the whole "citation but no quotation marks is OK" point of view, I'd be much obliged. I've seen some other editors too hold this point of view, but I still have no idea where this comes from. No definition/discussion of plagiarism I've encountered considers this to be OK.

• I am aware of the difference, yes. Since neither of the two articles were simply copied from the sources (the charge at the relevant RfA was, I imagine, that they were too close to copyvio to be called legitimate paraphrase) you'd have to make a case for why they would be copyvios, and the answer suggested, though not provided (you were never explicit), was "they're too close to the source.". That can only mean that they are not paraphrased properly, but the yardstick for "proper paraphrase" is quite unclear. (WP:copyvio doesn't specifiy.) And by the way, I never said "citation but no quotation marks is OK." I was talking about attribution and every source I've ever looked at (see my comments elsewhere) makes lack of attribution essential in the charge of plagiarism. That I talk about copyvio and plagiarism side-by-side is because a. they are related (no matter whether one thing is policy and the other guideline) and b. plenty of participants in the RfA accused the candidate of plagiarism (see Durova's comments, for instance).

  I note, by the way, that at the RfA you actually didn't specify what the issues were, precisely: you gave two sets of two passages, and I concluded that you meant to say that they were too close, so close that they should be called copyvio. But that also is a judgment call, and while I freely admit that in my opinion some (though not all) of those passages should have been paraphrased more in the author's own words, the rhetorical power of the copyvio template, which (and I repeat myself) I believe was applied unjustly, was such that the RfA was hijacked, in my opinion. Your use of ellipsis towards the end of your comment is telling in that respect. And that is why I said what I said. While I don't want to make light of the problem of copyright violations, I am still not convinced that that was what we were dealing with here--and we were certainly not dealing with plagiarism. Rather than ask me if I know the difference, I'd like for you to address my charge: that all-too-close paraphrase (a matter of judgment) does not automatically add up to a copyright violation, and that your pasting COPYVIO all over this candidacy helped damn it.

Hi. I see that you've expressed an interest in helping clean up this article, and it would be much appreciated, particularly if you have access to [8]. I can't view it. I can confirm that there is some duplication from [9], as with "the first simultaneous start-up of an underground and surface mine in Nevada", but I don't know what needs to be cleaned from the other source. Lacking access to it, if I am left to address it (and can't find somebody who can access it), I'm not going to have any option but to rewrite or remove the article. Can you help?

No, I can't undelete a copyvio. The article was listed for a week as per process to allow contributors an opportunity to address it, but unfortunately nobody did so, and the copyright infringement was foundational, going all the way back to the first edit.

All right. I'll prop them in your userspace if you'd like. Note that I did also offer the template-blanked version back for a few days at Bongomatic's talk page. I don't know if you read the template, but you are welcome to revise the article in the temporary space if you'd like, alone or in tandem. That stands for this one as well.

No that's fine--if I knew y'all were coming I'd made you coffee and baked some cakes. What is this, the first chapter of The Hobbit?

That's cause I'm often on recent changes these days, and you never edit on anything but bureaucratic matters :/ I made a few comments on AfDs, and am doing cleanup on a couple of things. Well, another longtime contributor apparently left, an admin is threatened with being stripped, nothing new really. But it's always a bit sad to see WP editors yelling and getting worked up, on matters that often, from the outside looking in, seem trivial.

Yeah, Blofeld is back, but Stifle made a no-no, according to some, and Shoemaker's Holiday called it quits. And I didn't say it was trivial--I said it looked trivial from the outside. Our recent RfA adventures were FAR from trivial, but we were on the inside. And for Auburn: the biggest news there is the resignation of Bobby Lowder--and our article says nothing about the enormous amounts of gossip going around!

Maybe you can help determine the future of Animal love (safe for work... at least last I checked) and Jesse Dee. Stifle seems to be more reasonable than ever lately, although I don't think I see eye to eye with the kid. I'll have to look into that.

"From trivial, but we were on the inside"? What kind of yoda-speak is this? Have you been hanging out with my main man GTB? I take it you are high on life? :)

Sure. I don't have the album here so I'll have to get back to you. The Nonesuch website has a little bit of information, but not what you're looking for, I think. There's a short paragraph for each song, and I'll see what it says.

No, I didn't know that--I hardly ever get anything from iTunes (in part cause I don't have an iPod, haha). I thought about that one, but the last couple of articles I wrote on Kronos albums I wrote as soon as I had bought the album, and Terry Riley: Cadenza on the Night Plain is the last one I bought.

Nice new article! I wasn't aware of the tracklist template (not that the Lalit album needs it). As for Lalit, it's not a song but a raga and I thought symphonies don't get italics either (even though these two things have nothing to do with each other), and The Raga Guide doesn't use them, as does Sorrell and others. OTOH the book from Jairazbhoy uses italics, and another one from the 70s I know uses italics and doesn't capitalize. I simply choose what I liked better - perhaps someone else sees things differently and changes them, that's fine too :) Hekerui (talk) 22:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-30T22:09:00.000Z","author":"Hekerui","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Hekerui-2009-06-30T22:09:00.000Z-Drmies-2009-06-30T20:38:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-07-01T01:05:00.000Z-Hekerui-2009-06-30T22:09:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks! As for the tracklist template, that must be a happening topic. See below, User_talk:Drmies#Revisions_to_Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers_albums_articles and User_talk:Drmies#Album_review. The latter section contains a link to an archived discussion that really downplays the importance of the template; I like the way it looks but I don't like other things--the lack of functionality of the "music_credits" entry. Now, since Lalit is the proper name of something that could be considered a song, a work, a text, whatever, it should have something that marks it as such, and all style guides (not necessarily every book that mentions a text, etc.) will agree on that. Since this is a major work, published individually (that is, one "song" on an album), by analogy with books I would italicize it--I typically follow MLA guidelines. Italicize it and see what it looks like: I think it will look better.

• And you decide what's unnecessary, I imagine. Anyway, if prose is what matters--do you really think the following paragraph is legible at all?

  "Just Dance" was released as the album's lead single commercially worldwide on June 17, through digital distribution.[54] The song was critically appreciated with reviewers complimenting its club anthem-like nature and the synth pop associated with it.[16][17] It achieved commercial success by topping charts in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as well as reaching the top ten in many other countries.[55][56][57][58][59] The song received a Grammy nomination in the Best Dance Recording category but lost to electronic duo Daft Punk for their song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".[60] "Poker Face" was released as the second single from the album after another song, "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" was cancelled as a single. It was also well-received by the critics most of whom have praised the robotic hook and the chorus.[61] The single achieved greater success that "Just Dance" by topping the charts in almost all the countries.[62] "Poker Face" became Gaga's second consecutive number one on the Hot 100.[63][64] "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" was the albums third single in Australia, New Zealand and some European nations. The song received negative reviews. Some critics compared it to nineties Europop while the others criticised it for bringing the party like nature of the album to a halt and thus being an embarrassment to the album.[15] It failed to match the success of the previous singles in Australia and New Zealand by reaching fifteen and nine respectively. It peaked at two in Sweden.[65] "LoveGame" was released as the third single in the United States, Canada and some other European nations and the fourth single in Australia and New Zealand. The song was critically appreciated for its catchy tune and the "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" hook.[66] The song has started charting and has reached the top ten in countries like the United States, Australia and Canada and the top twenty in others.[67] "Paparazzi" has been announced as the third single in the United Kingdom and Ireland with a release date of July 6, 2009.[68] However, the song charted on the charts before the release.[69] The song was appreciated for its fun-filled, club-friendly nature and is deemed the most memorable and telling song from the album.[23] The associated music video for the song was shot as a mini-movie with Gaga starring as a doomed starlet who is almost killed by her boyfriend, but in the end takes her revenge and reclaims her fame and popularity.[70]

• Eh--what I can or cannot find isn't really that relevant. What you add to the English wiki needs to be verified, that's really all there is to it, especially in the case of a BLP. Now, that he is the editor of that journal, I just saw that--by going to the WP article on the journal (which is barely English, by the way) and then to the journal's website.

Hey Doc, the thing about that picture, aside from it having the scary:

"Scan of original photo. Copyright © 2007 TRACshovel. All rights reserved. Unauthorized use is strictly prohibited."

on it, the status on flickr is indeed an issue. You might be better off emailing the company directly for a picture that they have and are willing to release (either on Flickr or directly here), sadly I don't know much about the emailing the picture in system, I think it is at WP:OTRS or something, I see it on pictures that have come from outside sources.

Hi! Thanks for your tremendous interest in Taslima. But what makes you think that Islamic fundamentalists from Kolkata evicted her from the city? The chief of Kolkata's Baro Masjid,the main mosque of the city is the religious chief of Kolkata's 3 million muslims. As you can not call a bishop a cristian fundamentalists, you can not call the imam of kolkata an islamic fundamentalist. In fact you should be aware that kolkata is the most progressive city of entire South Asia and that the marxists are ruling there for last 32 years. Ok? I hope you can try to understand my point.Murad67 (talk) 10:23, 24 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-24T10:23:00.000Z","author":"Murad67","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Murad67-2009-06-24T10:23:00.000Z-About_Taslima_Nasrin","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-06-24T15:10:00.000Z-Murad67-2009-06-24T10:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hello Murad, thanks for your note. First things first: I have restored that term (which was in there in an earlier version) because, simply put, that is what the references establish.

There are a few issues here. First of all, that edit takes place in the lead--not that we should play fast and loose there, but a more generalized overview is acceptable. In the section that describes it more fully (and by the way, I really only edited those sections--I didn't write them originally) there is more detail which, I believe, is substantiated by the references given. There are anti-Islam comments, Muslim leaders, Muslim fundamentalists, and militant islamists. It seems to me that "Islamic fundamentalists" probably covers that pretty well. (And some bishops--not all, but some--are in fact Christian fundamentalists!) I am aware of the strange combination in Kolkata of left-wing leaders and extremist sentiment--a nice example of Realpolitik, I imagine. But here's the thing. If these Muslim fundamentalists and militant islamists are there and were responsible, then Islamic fundamentalists is a proper term, and you can't simply replace that without changing the more detailed discussion in the Taslima_Nasrin#2004-2007.2C_life_in_Kolkata section. Moreover, your edit suggests it was only in Kolkata that such stuff happened, but there was Hyderabad also.

Here's what I propose: a small edit to the lead, and for you to find the reference that establishes that a more moderate clergyman (is that accurate?) also called for her expulsion, to be added to the more detailed section. I looked through the references just now, and all I can find is mention of that All-India group, so we need additional evidence. I mean, I'll take your word for it, but it needs a reference. OK?

Thanks, I would think so too - I know that if I were to stumble upon the page for casual reading, I wouldn't bother trying to decipher what the paragraph had inside.

Well, the reviewers won't necessarily tell you what's correct or not, just what they think looks or reads good--and one would hope that their way of reading is more or less the same as ours... I also left you a note to suggest, hey, if you think something is not right and you have good reason to think so, go ahead and change it (see WP:BEBOLD)--and don't allow yourself to be 'corrected' by what was really a bogus argument.

Hi.

Yeah, in fact it meets B criteria, as a matter of fact, the difference betwen C and B is sometimes vague, i rate it C because only has 2 sections of prose, but is well referenced, so i`ll make it a B and trust you will make it a better one to even GA soon; as for hints to upgrading the article, well, while the "spiritual music" section could be renamed to simply "background" i feel the second paragraph of that section truly belongs into the "critical reception" section and a production section would be really good, and if there was a tour for either artist, mention is also good, i think that`s good enough, if you need anything else don`t hesitate to ask.

unsure why you are trying to promote your own standards in contrast to wikipedia.net's notability guidelines for living people. person in question has been covered by several credible news sources and the information, still being thoroughly researched and written hopefully without violent interruption, pertains to significant past political events in central florida. i urge you to discuss your concerns with an administrator or family member and not try to cast aspersions on the effort to reinvigorate florida (usa) political articles —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baxterword (talk • contribs) 06:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-28T06:25:00.000Z","author":"Baxterword","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Baxterword-2009-06-28T06:25:00.000Z-estaseg","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-06-28T06:30:00.000Z-Baxterword-2009-06-28T06:25:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Well, it says "Please do not try to promote your product or business," and even if it's not your business, it sounds like it. It sure doesn't sound like an encyclopedic article. Worse, perhaps, is the fact that the text in the article was not written for Wikipedia; it's copied and pasted from some other source(s). Possibly the winery is notable and can be included, but not this way. I can't find a really good example of a good article on a winery; Hunt Country Vineyards is the best I could find. KitFox Vineyards is a bad example. Remember, an article on Wikipedia is to be objective and to have references from reliable sources that verify the information given in it.

  • I wouldn't do that, because copyright violations are regarded very seriously (it's not my 'department,' but I've seen how strictly they look at things, and rightfully so). The way to start is suggested in the "First article" page. Get the references together (practical tip: stay away from the company's own website, because it will influence you, even when unwittingly) and compose a rough outline of the article (in your sandbox--see WP:Sandbox). Don't put the thing up until it has basic text and references, independent of the company site. If you like, you can 'take' another article (like one from a winery) by copying it and putting your information in the right places, but make sure there's nothing left of the original. Now, since the article in its current state is a copyvio, I think it's best to wait until an administrator has looked at it and either deleted it or done something else with it. When you repost the article, make sure that you note, in your edit summary, that this is an entirely different version, not simply a copy. Good luck, and let me know if I can help some more.

• Ejoi if you have questions about releasing content from a website that you own the rights to for use on Wikipedia, I think user:Moonriddengirl would be the one to ask...

Having looked at the picture that's there, I would say the pictures should of the vineyard. Pictures of your friends are generally frowned upon.

I am in the process of rewriting the page now. I am finding sites to support the accolades. Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo does not have an official website with the wine competition results, whereas wine enthusiast websites have the results indexed in a press release type article. Are these okay to cite? Also, those two are the owners and co-founders of the company, they are a huge deal down in Texas, not just some little winery with a few friends that I'm tossing up.

Hello, Drmies. You have new messages at Moonriddengirl's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I made those edits on through a public IP as I didn't want to sign into my account since I'm not using a secured internet connection. Would you be able to elaborate upon why you reverted the revisions? They were made because the formatting is an unnecessary addition that merely takes up space. There is no guideline that requires their presence, either.

• No, there is no requirement that they be included, nor a demand that they be removed if they are included. I left you a message explaining my reversals; the main issue here is that you did not, as far as I could tell, seek consensus to make these edits. I noted also that all of them are on RHCP albums, and all undid the work of one particular editor, and that strikes me as odd. As for space--well, WP is not paper, and they only take up some 800 bytes each. I hope this explains it well enough.

    • I saw that. And you did real nice work on the ones that I looked at. Look, if I see that an IP with a very limited set of edits is making a whole bunch of edits, all doing one thing and all undoing one editor's work, that's just not so righteous, esp. since tracklist boxes look nice (purely subjective, I know) and take some time to do (MrTaco's time, that is). No, MrTaco did not seek consensus either, but I think generally one would assume that such a change would count as an improvement, plus your edit summaries were a bit terse, and that's why I did what I did. Look, do what you wanna do, but don't be surprised if other editors take offense at such removals. At least a note on some talk pages can let you claim you sought consensus, and I think it's important to at least do that.

        • Oh, I think you're right in principle on the double edge--but did you mean "forbidden" instead of "required"? I really think this would be an interesting matter to bring up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums, because it would be nice to get some kind of consensus from the project, which I'm sure is what they would like also--not all RHCP album articles have a star yet!

Hi. The cultural traditions part of the article is relatively long compared to other aspects of the city. I have not completely eliminated the cultural references but rather direct the readers into the new articles Pintados-Kasadyaan and Sangyaw. These two festivals are distinct from each other.

These cultural festivals are only celebrated two days in a year and form only a fraction of the over-all culture of its inhabitants. These festivals actually include participants from other cities and municipalities as well. While worth mentioning in the article of Tacloban regarding these festivals, it does not warrant writing full articles regarding these festivals inside the article of the host city.

Right now these two articles may be stubs but hopefully they will grow into full articles just like the other Philippine festivals. Other articles for similar festivals and host cities in the Philippines are separated as mentioned in Talk:Tacloban City. Proper labelling for splitting has been done as provided for Wikipedia:Splitting#Procedure.

If there is any copyright violation despite the reference [The text about Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 License.], I already corrected it in Pintados-Kasadyaan article. Please see revision history of Pintados-Kasadyaan regarding the tagging and removal of copy violations. I hope the issue will be resolved soon.

• Hi Dihamsal, you saw my edit summary, I hope, about the consensus on the talk page. Such a big move should be made on the basis of consensus; please see WP:Split for some advice on how to do it, and you should be a little patient. I personally think that a separate article on the festivals is an excellent idea and I applaud you for that. But when you twice removed all that information, you did so without even leaving a "see main article" kind of thing, and that's also why both ClueBot and myself reverted. Go slow, that's a much better idea--or flesh out the festival article more before you cut such a significant section, as it seems you have done now.

  As for the copyvio, well, I do see that license now that you point it out, though I myself am not exactly sure about the effect of such a statement--but I gotta say, licensed or not, copying is not the way to go, because the website is promotional and Wikipedia shouldn't be, and the website is NOT a reliable source on "the Spaniards" and other historical matters. I'll ask an expert, User:Moonriddengirl, to look into the copyvio, OK?

By the way, though I don't often review album articles these days, it used to be a major project of mine. Since we'd just talked, I noticed when you lit up my watchlist at requested review. I took a look at your requested re-evaluation. I think it is very close to a B, depending on who evaluates it (and I do mean that; note that Juju Music, which I wrote, was rated a C because the infobox needed more info), but it is missing at least one important technical aspect as well as having a few minor issues that could bar a B grade. I've left notes in the template at Talk:Terry Riley: Cadenza on the Night Plain. They're in the album box and are viewable by clicking "show." :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-30T20:55:00.000Z","author":"Moonriddengirl","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Moonriddengirl-2009-06-30T20:55:00.000Z-Album_review","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-06-30T21:38:00.000Z-Moonriddengirl-2009-06-30T20:55:00.000Z"]}}-->

MRG, if I weren't married to my job (and my wife, of course!), I'd propose to you right here on the spot. Now, if you REALLY have nothing better to do, what do you think about Eliza Emily Chappell Porter? Drmies (talk)

I made some additions, following your advice. That tracklist template (and see the discussion above, at User_talk:Drmies#Revisions_to_Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers_albums_articles) doesn't do so well for me--that Riley composed the music was duly filled out there, but it doesn't show up as text. Wazzup with that? So I added it in a sort of haphazard fashion. The info from AMG is also available in the booklet: do you think that needs a reference?

If I weren't married to my husband and, well, Wikipedia I guess (I am somewhat disenchanted with my job), I'm sure I'd accept. :) I've never reviewed a biography article, but I'd say it's going to be a total pain going inline with those sources! Seems like the contributor is trying to do that, but doesn't know the wiki way. I've only used the tracklist template once or twice. I prefer the list method, as it's easier to edit, and I occasionally use tables. The tracklist template isn't really recommended by the project in ordinary tracklists: "A track listing should generally be formatted as a numbered list." Consensus at the project has traditionally been that straightforward lists should not be converted to the template without good reason.

  • I don't know where you are working on what. I blanked the version in your sandbox; the place to work now is Messina Hof. Whatever expansion you do will have to be in line with WP guidelines, of course. It's fine to use the Hof's own website (I'm going to pretend I don't know you have anything to do with it--a conflict of interest is not necessarily suspicious, but it might be cause for more scrutiny) for such data as wine production or what grapes are grown, as long as the things that could be seen as positive are from objective, reliable sources (see WP:RS). For instance, if the NYTimes says their Beaujolais Nouveau is the best in the world, then use the original article from the Times rather than the summary on the website (which is the kind of thing you had in the first version).

    Another tip: ask User:ChildofMidnight to help out; he has a lot of expertise with articles on food and drink and is a pretty decent writer, though he wouldn't be able to tell a run-on from a dangling modifier anymore than he can tell his Ayers from his arse--but he's a good person at heart. ;) Again, get a picture of the vineyard and grapes, that's what would really be in line with WP standards, I think. Don't overdo it--don't list every individual accolade. Trim down the history to a short paragraph or two, and refrain from doing too much biography on the founders: the article is about the winery, not about the persons, and the notability (the raison d'etre for the article, see WP:N) comes from the wine, not from the people making it. Good luck, and I'll check in occasionally. Unless, of course, I am delayed cause I found a case of Beaujolais Nouveau on my doorstep, haha.

I added an infobox, it is mostly empty, also I am unsure about the licencing on the logo, even if you (Ejoi), do you personally own the copyright for the logo (and the vineyard picture, in that you took the picture). If not the logo might be better uploaded just to Wikipedia as fair use. Also I am not crazy about this addition, mainly due to the lack of independent (or any) sourcing.

Thanks K, for your comments and the box. I agree about the edit: it is certainly not appropriate either in tone or in lack of references; it is way too promotional, and I am going to delete at least one of the sections, "The Villa." I've made a few edits to the lead also, and to the history section. The Vintage House Restaurant section is likewise unverified, too promotional, and of limited encyclopedic value. The section on Paul B. probably needs to be cut altogether for reasons I outlined above. While some of these edits may seem harsh to you, perhaps, they have to be made to ensure that Wikipedia does not become (or sound) like a promotional database.

The logo is fine to use. But the licensing on the image page (and perhaps at commons?) is wrong. It's not freely licensed. It's fair use. Surely you're not licensing the winery's logo for anyone else to use and copy and imitate? I don't think so.

As far as the biography section, has the owner/ founder been written about? If the content is based on independent reliable sources, then it is okay. If it's just from the winery's website or your personal knowledge then it can be challenged and removed.

Doc here is part of the liberal elite that fancies fine wines and the socialism promoting creative writing that passes for news in the New York Times, so I know he will be helpful. He's even barbecued a time or two, but I'm not sure he and his Toyota Camry would fit in around Laredo.

Doc follows the Al Gore school of environmental policy (do as I say not as I do). And I'd like to point out, all joking aside, that the Camry may soon be the last car that is actually made in America. The future doesn't seem bright for the economy or Government Motors, as its new CEO, Barack Obama, and board of directors, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, don't seem to know much about financial oversight, operating a car company, or balancing a budget...

How typical of Kelapstick to rain on my parade with his sensible comment. I would counter with something about how they were doing okay until the Feds and their Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac operation hit the skids, and that it's tough when you have nonsensical union contracts, or when the 750 billion dollar economic bailout is nothing but more government spending, but Doc has heard it all before. What's a little thing like double-digit unemployment, run-away inflation, and a collapse of the dollar among friends. Let them eat cake! Right Doc?

You think that the sub-prime mortgage crisis and failing banks are to blame for domestic automakers inadequate products and lack of innovation going out of business?

I think the products made by the US auto manufacturers have gotten pretty competitive, despite the legacy costs and corrupt unions. But yes, the economy and financial crisis sent them deep into the red and bankruptcy (after Obama threw tens of billions dollars at them first) by crushing auto sales and other big ticket durable goods. The companies will need to be reorganized based on much lower annual car sales in the U.S. And given the energy policies that are coming, it's going to get a heck of a lot worse before it gets better. The airlines, the restaurants, the solvent banks, and many other private enterprises will be soon to follow.

After the massive bailouts of the crooked businesses that were funding the Democratic politicians onto victory in 2006 with truckloads of campaign cash, there's not much left for the honest big or small business and their employees. And the printing presses propping up big government aren't going to be able to run like this forever. Madoff, Harold Raines and the other crooks at Bank of America, Citi and AIG who were shoveling campaign cash to the Democrats to keep their operations going without any oversight have really done a number on our economy.

• Awww who wants to look on the Dutch wiki. They might already have deleted Kees, for all I know and care. So listen, my neighbors are going to a little town south of here this afternoon, to their Church of Christ family's 4th of July party--where they will have hot dogs, and then hamburgers, and then steak, all while they have a half a dozen whole pigs cooking for the 4th... But no alcohol, haha.

  So I tackled a couple of your requests, but have not yet created an article for Frits. (I did create a redirect for Nieuwe Bouwen--look at the state of the article it leads to...I did not create one for Nieuwe Zakelijkheid, since that is much more than just architecture--see Ferdinand Bordewijk, where it isn't even mentioned!).

Doc, doesn't Christianity teach that people have to accept Christ in order to be saved and that baptism is a process for the absolving of original sin? So wouldn't it be accurate to say that process is one of perfecting people, modeling them in God's image or something like that? It is rather strange wording to say anyone needs to be perfected, but you seem to be unhappy with Christian theology. Have you considered writing a stern letter to the Pope?

• Ha, I don't think that's what she was trying to say, really. The odd thing is that such a phrase would come from this person in America. I personally think that a lot of people need a lot of work toward perfection, and I also think that Christian theology is probably unhappier with me than vice versa--such break-ups are rarely clean. Oh, on another American note, there was a party in the park here, and fittingly, on the 4th of July, the band was playing some raunchy rock 'n roll with really loud guitars. Nice! BTW, we had dinner with my Jewish colleague (they don't like Ann a whole lot either), and they made Mediterranean food, but we had blueberry cobbler to duly honor our nation's birthday.

• See Christian perfection. And have you been to church lately? Because last I checked most of them preach that everyone who doesn't accept J.C. is going to a very hot place, and I'm not talking about Aruba. It always seemed a bit intolerant from a loving God. You'll no doubt be happy to know that the church of CoM has no such policy. But I don't know if it's fair to take out your religious intolerance on poor Ann Coulter. :) She's just passing the word along, such as it is. The religious fraternity system really puts pressure on its members to stay in the fold, and is often aggressive in recruiting. JOIN OR BURN IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY is a heck of a recruiting tool. And Islam isn't too fond of infidels either. I know it makes it rough out there for the atheists. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and not much peace on earth. See you in heaven buddy. Cheerios!

The possible confusion that could arise stems from the usage of "her family" in the previous sentence. All members of her family may obviously be also referred to as Dickinson (even Carlo, I suppose ;) ). "Emily" is used various times throughout the article for differentiation, beginning as early as the very first section; it has nothing to do with familiarity, or a perceived first-name basis -- it just makes for easier reading comprehension.

• I've seen "young Emily" and "Emily Dickinson"--I didn't see "Emily" though I didn't re-read the entire article. Oh, I see now you are Yllosubmarine--I just left you a note. To me, it suggests familiarity since I didn't see (and still don't, sorry) the confusion. I've just read that too often in student papers.

  • Sorry to cause more problems, but I've reverted some of your edits to the refs; the "References" section is meant to only include works that are used as sources, and are therefore not meant to be all inclusive of Dickinson scholarship. There are literally tons of books and articles available, so rather than create list-cruft, we decided to limit the list to works that were explicitly used. The 1981 edition of the fascicles is obviously notable, but it isn't used as a source. Also, the addition of the citation template conflicts with the bare-bones setup we have with the rest of the refs. Please don't feel discouraged from editing the article, and sorry if it feels like I'm policing you. ED was a labor of love, so I tend to take its FA-status rather seriously. :) I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding "the missives" sentence, however, could you elaborate?

    • Well, "Sue" didn't strike me as appropriate for "Susan Gilbert." The section I did a little bit of work on was called "references" and not "works cited," so I thought that some very basic titles would be appropriate--I mistakenly thought these sections were also meant as a bibliography of E.D. (which is why I went to the article in the first place, to find a bibliography outside of what my Norton gives me), given that there is no section giving a bibliography outside what I now realize is the works cited, and given that there is no Bibliography of Emily Dickinson. As for listcruft, I hope you noticed that I didn't just drop in any Barnes and Noble edition, but only the fascicle edition and the authoritative editions of the letters. I see you also reversed the templates, use of which is encouraged on Wikipedia, I thought, and which work was to be seen as a step toward getting away from pure-text references (I'm a bit surprised that FA editors don't seem to care for them), and I don't rightly see how they might "conflict"--the use of templates doesn't even show in the text.

      Don't worry about causing more problems--I can see that I need to leave well enough alone, and as for feeling discouraged or policed, well, this is an encyclopedia, and my personal feelings aren't very relevant.

The fact that including the information, "Nicole Wray performed the song before..." is not an act of vandalism. Now, youtube was added as a source before I got there, and in the video they credited Laurent Gbagbo as the "Head of State". So you might wanna check the sources before reverting again. In addition that comment, I also would like to state that if my edits need references, then so do the others that were already added. So my edits were not considered an act of vandalism, but yours.

Pfff. The removal of unsourced information is vandalism? What nonsense. And it doesn't matter who put it there first--you stuck it back. Sourced to YouTube! Ha, did you really think we needed YouTube to verify that Gbagbo is the president of Cote d'Ivoire? You don't get it--YouTube is not a reliable source and cannot be used to verify anything, not even a person singing a tune somewhere. As for the other references, I looked at one or two of them, and removed two other non-reliable references, which you may have seen if you looked. I don't know if you're calling me or "a previous user" a liar, but I would urge you to mind your manners.

• There was a time when 20 million dollar frauds and related murder suicides were notable. But perhaps with the Democratic congress in power since 2006 and an administration composed entirely of tax cheats, "Friends of Mozillo", and former Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac board members with close ties to ACORN, that type of fraud is just too minor to warrant a mention these days.

Haha, shouldn't the first question be, who vandalized my user page by placing that there in the first place?? The vandal in question did fess up to sockpuppeteering also, and given the display of remorse and WP being primarily an American enterprise, I have no doubt they'll be forgiven. In Amsterdam, a social worker would sit down to talk to the person, incidentally. Now, the canvassing, well, what can I say--it's all part of an evil plot to destroy articles that are meaningful and interesting and that people come to see and that are important even though we can't prove they are and it's just your bad taste that makes you want to delete them and it's obviously the opinion of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about etc. Do I make myself clear? K, your comment is greatly appreciated. CoM, that Parente "case" is a bunch of air and you know it. The investigation isn't even in the news anymore, and it's simply not a meaningful murder. But I accept your apology! (And now I'm going to that AfD to change your vote, haha). Oh, remind me to tell you a bacon star-related Zionist story, later.

Can you clarify what is meant by Reformatory (with a capital R) in the way you've used the term in describing some sort of Dutch institution (allegedly) involved in an educational enterprise? Also, a clarification of the Dutch phrase for that level (even though it's Wikilinked) might be nice.

Good tweak Doc. I think the "in a country" part needs to go too. Can you just say which country? Or is it an imaginary or unnamed country? Is it fair to refer to it as being deeply repressive over that issue without a source? I'm flexible if you think it's fair, but it seems a bit POV for my small "c" conservative approach to encyclopedia editing. Did you ever read 100 Years of Solitude?

Awfully nice of you Kelapstick. Imagine if everyone had as much kindness and caring for their fellow humans. Sadly, there are those trying to push their dependency encouraging values on others through big brother. And what can be done with those warped by the pernicious influences of satanic music, Heronymous Bosch paintings, and a burning desire to push their godlessness and hatred of all things wholesome and nurturing on the rest of humanity. :) Hahaha. I have to be careful what I say because Ched is going to give me another lecture. Speaking of sinners, how hot does it get up there in Reno now? Is that art fair thing going on? It would be cool to visit. But it's a ways away. But maybe, I'll have to consider it. It would be fun to come up for sure and I very much appreciate your extraordinarily generous offer. I hope you're having fun in Colorado. I really like the Four Corners area, for what that's worth. Cool stuff out there. I'm not so big on the New cities of the west. But Reno still has it's roots I think, so it's okay. :) Are you into hiking and biking at all? Rafting? What do you do up in Nevada for fun? I guess you're pretty busy with the kiddos.

Oh, these two guys are the s**t. Re-reading Cavafy again after so many years was a joy, and reminded me of a favorite author of mine, who translated his work and promptly got an article on WP, Hans Warren. BTW, when I was preparing the syllabus for this summer I decided I would open up my big fat Norton at random to decide what to teach--and that's how Cavafy got on it. Two pages further and it would have been William Butler Yeats. Rilke--what can I say. Go read Stephen Mitchell's translation of "Archaic Torso of Apollo," and write an article on that poem.

• Nice picture! But I think you need to practice a bit more perfecting your literary criticism. After all, the wish-dream of building communion with the ineffable, as long as the building blocks of that communion "bridge" are the traditional, stratified elements of the very system that always already creates ineffability, does little more than masking the very socio-economic structures that underlie capitalism's hold on the status quo and effectively transform an essential anxiety (that is, a manifestation of the traumatic quality of the real) into ressentiment.

It's good you're going to be down in Orange Beach so you can check out some rentals for me. What kind of rates do places go for down in that area? I'd like to be able to walk to stuff and especially to be able to run from my apartment or house. A backyard would be excellent, but if it's on the beach that's okay too. Is there an airport type thing in Pensacola? How far is it from there? Is that the best place to fly into? How far are you from there?

I'm not sure. I'm having a hard enough time keeping a sort of Sinterklaas tradition going. A place on the beach is going to cost you a pretty penny, besides, I think it's all condos down there. Do you want me to find out? I can if you want to. I do believe Pensacola has an airport and it's not that far away from me--my folks drove down there in the spring and liked it well enough.

Having lived in both Alabama as a kid, I can imagine how short my lifespan would be if I walked the streets of Montgomery in Zwarte Piet regalia. I'm not sure if leaving the shoes full of grass in the grocery store freezer aisle is a peculiar Bonairean twist on the subject, or common throughout the Kingdom. I expect Spain to get in on the act some day, too: I've managed to assimilate everything about Sinterklaas except the notion that the punishment for being an extremely bad child is to be stuffed in a bag and forced to become a Spaniard.—Kww(talk) 01:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-07-15T01:43:00.000Z","author":"Kww","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Kww-2009-07-15T01:43:00.000Z-Drmies-2009-07-15T01:08:00.000Z","replies":["c-ChildofMidnight-2009-07-15T02:08:00.000Z-Kww-2009-07-15T01:43:00.000Z"]}}-->

I think Doc should give it a try. I'm sure people will understand when he explains it's a Dutch tradition. What's the worst that could happen?

Dustin sounds very nice. No income tax in FL. :) Doc where do you think would be a good place to live if you were me? What does "not that far away from me" mean? Are we talking 45 minutes or 4 hours?

We don't need that kind of negative vibe. If Doc wants to carry on the proud Dutch traditions emphasizing Europe's long history of racial tolerance and understanding he has my full support.

Hey KWW, don't worry. We are so segregated here I would have to ... [let your imagination run wild here]. Our neighborhood association sends out emails when non-white people walk the streets here. (That's not a joke, and also it is not funny.) I didn't know that bad children had to become Spanish--as a child, I guess I always thought they just had to live there for a year, maybe on the ship.

CoM, I didn't know FL didn't have income tax. I know TN doesn't, and that worked out nice for us--I made more money there with lower pay than I do here (and we had better and cheaper health insurance.) Now, Pensacola is a lot closer than I thought, and Destin is just up the road from there. It's nice there, though it is very, very developed. Now, if you want to live someplace nice, hit KWW up!

I was just looking at the version of the article pre-plucking of feathers. The library had a bunch of Dell Computers - ok, fine. How, though, is that supposed to have translated to "improving the aesthetic appeal" of the library?

• Hi Nableezy, you can simply put a note on the AfD--I put it there with a link to your message here. Typically, anything that discusses a subject or topic in any depth, and it pops up with Google News and comes from something big--in this case, national daily newspapers and magazines--will count as a reliable source.

Hello, Drmies. You have new messages at Tide rolls's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Greetings Drmies! I just did a partial revert on some edits that you made to this article, and rather than have you think it was a drive by reversion, I wanted to take a moment and explain.

Some of the sections you deleted are supported for inclusion by the wikischools project. The small gallery of alumni is standard in such cases. The (admittedly) larger than usual listing of athletic accomplishments is a compromise that was reached some time ago to avoid even longer lists from appearing (you should see what happened before .... every single little first or second place finish in every single tournament was listed). This established a criterion that restricts these lists (though in a minority of cases, the list can be longer ... in a few cases, I have put the lists in drop down tables to avoid taking up too much space.

After restoring the article, I went back and restored every other change you made. If there is anything further with this article, I would be happy to discuss this.

• Hi Beacon, thanks for your note. I've had a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines and have seen that the suggestions made there are more generous than I thought they would be. (But that list of "accomplishments," that's a compromise that WP can do without, in my opinion...) That clubs, for instance, would be relevant is not automatically clear to me. For notable alumni, I see that the guideline there also is laxer than I thought (or hoped...I'm a cutter) it would be. I would note, however, that in my view a list of alumni that have articles, for instance, don't need a long resume since they have an article; I am inclined to treat those like dab-lists and remove, for instance, wikilinking, because those links will be found in the main article for that person. But I have no intention of going back and imposing my opinion on an article you have spend much more time on than I have. So thank you for the note, and good luck keeping it clean--which is a hard thing to do with school articles.

Drmies,

Thanks for the explanation. FWIW, I tend to be less of an inclusionist myself (I am still on a long tea-break from AfD after going through one too many heated debates there), and I cannot agree more about keeping the school articles clean. I'm still getting a feel for what people "expect" on school articles. I wish you and CoM best in your editing!

There's a coordinated effort to marginalize Matt Sanchez as a blogger and not recognize him as a journalist. The editors who have done this are doing this willingly and are compromised and should be called into question. Look at the segment below: Matt Sanchez reported on the Iraq War as an embedded blogger.[15] He has provided commentary for World Net Daily[16] and currently contributes commentary to the Fox Forum, which is the blog of Fox News. Please note, Matt Sanchez has written hard news items for Fox News. ([32] and [33]) This is the type of unfairness that is infuriating.

I imagine this was left on others' pages too? Well thanks, IP, for the news. I think you have established that Matt Sanchez has a job. Great. "Unfairness"? I don't get it--if he's nothing but a journalist who does his job he does not have notability per WP:N. BTW, your text, copied from the article I presume, was entirely unclear: you could try using quotation marks or proper block-quote format (which uses indentation).

Henry, I'm not much for conspiracy theories though I appreciate the information (and your conspiracy sounds more probable than the IP's--"there's a coordinated effort..."--and which edits are you talking about? No, IP, don't give me the diffs--I don't care.). If this IP is our subject, it's probably a good thing FOX has editors.

Doc I think you're missing the point. If he's a journalist, then that should be noted in the article. If he's only notable for an Ann Coulter quote then the biography should be deleted. And by the way, the editors working on this article won't even include his actual response to Coulter's quote. I'm a bit surprised that you would think provocative quotes by others that happened at a conference the individual attended and are otherwise unrelated to the subject belong in the opening paragraph of a person's biography. You better be very careful about what OTHER people say at the conferences you attend.

I'm always missing the point, I'm sure, but that he's a journalist is noted in the very first sentence of the article. Maybe you missed my well-nuanced and elegant statements on the talk page of said article, which were based on the premise--for which there seems to be some support--that he wouldn't have been so notable had it not been for the presence of and statements and specific photo-op by your goddess.

The Ann Coulter thing is covered in the body of the article where it belongs. As your statements made clear, it's out of place and inappropriate in the opening paragraphs where it's significance isn't clear and it violates BLP, undue weight, and NPOV guidelines.

Hey, I'm not going to object to the removal of that info from the lead, I thought I made that clear. I objected to its lack of grammatical and rhetorical coherence, and if you read carefully, you'll see I noted that I agree with you on that point. As far as I know, that is how he rose to fame and thus might be worth noting in the lead, though I'll grant you immediately that there is undue weight in that paragraph. As far as his own views are concerned, I thought I noted that I didn't want to read that far into the article--and as nothing in the article relates to Herman Brood or other important things, I'm probably not going to. If I'm going to end up in an editing dispute, it better be over something important, such as Dimitris Melissanidis.

Thanks for your help on articles. What do you have against this unsourced bit taken in good faith from the town's article: "It is thought to be one of the oldest carnivals in the world commemorating the year 1000 when a miller's wife killed the tyrant of the city, King Arduino. Arduino d’Ivrea, Marquis Arduino of Ivrea, (955–1015), also known as Arduin of Italy, Margrave of Ivrea who in 1002, following the death of Otto III, declared himself King of Italy. From that episode began a civil war between the oppressed people and the king's supporters, finally won by people." The candy easter eggs are covered in the main article, but it seems like the candies are notable enough for their own article, no? Can't you take a break from hyped books that didn't sell well and Dutch books that don't address the colonial oppression? Happy No Drama days!!!

Well, I didn't see that in the town's article, cause I didn't look there--and now that I have, I still don't see it. I thought you'd appreciate that we now have an article with web, book, and news sources, and without a clunker like "...King Arduino. Arduino d’Ivrea, Marquis Arduino of Ivrea, (955–1015), also known as Arduin of Italy, Margrave of Ivrea who..." I see now why that rubbed me the wrong way: the erroneous comma after "Marquis Arduino of Ivrea" should be (by law) placed after "Margrave of Ivrea"--one incorrect comma makes one sentence into two sentence fragments. Oh yeah. BTW, I don't know if I agree with you on the candy notability of those Easter eggs, but I wasn't going to change that, as you saw. Power to the people!

(PS: Bougainville does address that colonial bit, though in a roundabout way--any intelligent Dutch novel about that period/colony does, and the protagonist's position as a diplomat in Bangladesh only enforces that. It's really a wonderful novel, and it's a pity there's no English translation. It'll have to wait--I never finished translating Het verboden rijk.)

See Ivrea#Culture. I will change the link to easter eggs since you have no respect for the long candy tradition and cadbury eggs that are distinctly important.

That sentence is not in there. You can leave the eggs any way you like it! (Cadbury eggs are disgusting.) No, we did not own Bangladesh, though the Dutchies have done important work there on water management.

Hello again. I've been systematically referencing the entire list... it's extremely boring, but needed doing. I'll finish doing it, but once it's done the whole thing probably needs reformatting; it needs an introduction for instance, and the flagicons need to go per WP:FLAG... making it look closer to List of folk metal bands or similar would be ideal, but people seem to get uptight about things like this.

Yes, amusing, wasn't it...but I do think there was an objection being made there on principle (and I've changed it since then), which I found sad and amusing. That translation business, I need to look into that--I just don't know if we should translate titles of books that haven't appeared in English translation.

• I find it hard sometimes to remain civil when I see what butcheries are being perpetrated to the English language, and I try to just stick to "ce" or something like that. (I edit, by pure chance, a lot of articles on topics from India and Pakistan--what one finds there is appalling.) But that's difficult for me as well. You are a very careful editor and proofreader and for that I commend you; you make the edits I would make also. So let me apologize again for butchering your name, and if there's a hatchet, let's bury that as well, shall we? As for that statement, I'll leave my comment there.

Thanks very much. I considered the hatchet buried already, since you let me know you weren't making fun of my name. It was an easy mistake to make, and the trouble with edit comments is they can't be edited even for typos.

Dear Preston, thank you for the star, and I'd sent one right back, but it's probably better to let a suitable time period elapse so it doesn't look like we're having some sort of grammar cabal. Among my good friends here I count one who is comma-splice challenged, one who has run-on problems, and one wit speling isues, and I'd like to stay on their good side. As for the edit summary, you might be pleased to know that in the past I have advocated to option to edit edit summaries: "I believe we should be able to edit edit summaries--I've found, more than once, that I made a typo in an edit summary," I said a while back in a comment on a user's metatalk page (a talk page where we could discuss his talk page). I also proposed a talk page for every individual edit summary, but that's probably a bit too much--although some of your comments might provoke some discussion! User Hippo and I have come to terms concerning Ms. Portman's numbers and hair, so all's well that ends well.

Keep up the good work, and thank you again for the barnstar, your sharp eyes, and your good spirit.

There isn't really a category for "Christian artists" although the great majority of stained glass artists obviously worked on religious themes. For some earlier centuries it would effectively just duplicate general artist categories. Setting up Category:20th century Christian artists would be a good idea, with national sub-cats.

Hi. In light of recent events and community concerns about the way in which content is transferred I have proposed a new wikiproject which would attempt to address any of the concerns and done in an environment where a major group of editors work together to transfer articles from other wikipedias in the most effective way possible without BLP or referencing problems. Please offer your thoughts at the proposal and whether or not you support or oppose the idea of a wikiproject dedicated to organizing a more efficient process of getting articles in different languages translated into English.

  • Well (I went for a walk to calm down), it's complicated. Ha! I think MQS and I talked about this--that's in his archive or mine, probably mine, and see also the article's talk page--and he filled me in: there's a couple of IPs (and maybe a registered user?) which are Faerch himself and his mother/publicist who are interested, for reasons unknown to me, to keep the real birthdate something of a mystery. So a bunch of fans, I guess, keep scouring the internet and come up with nothing but blogs and computations based on vague references in various sources in order to fill in that blank.

Re: a proposed List of American Girl dolls to cut down on the clutter in the main article.

I think doing so could help achieve the goal of brevity and keep that section an overview. To clarify, are you proposing linking out to a new List section in place of all the character descriptions, and moving those character descriptions to the new List section?

I would suggest referring to such a List as American Girl Characters, so as to maintain a distinction between the actual named dolls that AG markets and the generic dolls of the JLY line. --Heidilaura (talk) 04:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-07-28T04:48:00.000Z","author":"Heidilaura","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Heidilaura-2009-07-28T04:48:00.000Z-American_Girl_section","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-07-28T05:08:00.000Z-Heidilaura-2009-07-28T04:48:00.000Z"]}}-->

• To your first question: Yes, that is what I had in mind. In all honesty, that that distinction was important was not clear to me from the article at all. If you think that such a distinction makes sense, that would be fine with me, I guess. Just to clarify: there are Characters, on whom two distinct lines of dolls are based? Where do the Girl of the Year and the Bitty dolls fit in? The article is quite confused/confusing, since there's also a section "Retired product lines" which contains both books and dolls--the lead is already a bit confusing to me. Why don't you go ahead and create such a separate list article and move all the relevant information? Then we can sort it out later.

Yes, there are Character dolls (Historical line and Limited Edition Girl of the Year line) which are different from the generic dolls that people can buy (Bitty and Just Like You lines). There are also other retired lines that were sort of pilots for American Girl but were disconintued after a couple years, all of which were also Character dolls. The distinction is that the Characters are named by the company and have books describing their lives and interests, and the products marketed for them are all based on those books. The other lines don't have a backstory. So anyway, I think it is a useful distiction upon which to revise this cumbersome section. I started working on pulling them out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Heidilaura/List_of_American_Girl_dolls but I have to admit that my Wiki editing time and abiliites are limited right now. I am among other things a business writer and consultant, so the writing is not the problem; finding time to edit according to Wiki's coding and formats is! I will do what I can on this and perhaps you can back me up in terms of making sure it's all copacetic as per Wiki before we link to it? I should have more time in a month or so when I finish some other projects. Thanks.

    • Thanks for the note. I'll have a look--when I can devote serious time to it. I got a couple of girls to keep happy here, so I'm sort of off and on.

Wouldn't it make sense to a least mention that that word means a variant of Bhairavi? Otherwise a reader is left in the dark, and a mishra raga can be very different from a straightforward version. I know a version of Raga Mand by Nikhil Banerjee that when compared to Mishra Mand (that one is popular, have many versions) is much more "classical". Am I seeing this too rigidly? It's just that when I read something and don't understand a word central to the topic it annoys me :/ What do you think?

• Sure--specify this any way you want. I rearranged the sentence since it's in a section about the compositions on the album, and the way you had it (a very informative way, sure enough) didn't start with the specifics of the song (-title) but with the generality of Bhairavi. If you want to respecify, so to speak, go ahead--but I think it should follow, not lead. Does that make sense?

The general idea is to find articles on other language Wikipedias that do not yet exist here (or do so only in very stubby form) and create the articles here with good references.

Whoa, stop the presses. I just saw a promo for "Drugs, Sex & Sleaze in Amsterdam," A fair and balanced program from Fox News to "expose the truth." Headlined "Hot Dirty Dam!"...

No such thing as Democratic politicans? Have they all gone communist? Haha, only kidding. You mean no such thing as hell? There's only one way to find out for sure! You go first.

Do you think I should do a sensible rewrite of the opening paragraphs of the Paul Krugman article? I do find the "American liberal" phrasing a bit lumpy (although I see it's been modified now, but still needs improvement). Unfortunately, I expect any efforts at tweaking will be met with more attacks and antagonism. Did you have a look at ProudNation yet (uhoh, now it's up for speedy too! What happened to live and let live? They're treating these new articles the way the Dutch treated Ayan Hirsi Ali). Of course I can't actually make heads or tails of the ProudNation article's content, but you're much better with that socialist newspeak than I am.

And I see you used the phrase "relevant to economical theory," which is a good indicator that it's past your bedtime and/ or you've had a few too many drinks. Also, you agreed with me on the content dispute which suggests I may have erred. I will have to reconsider my position. And I still haven't had a chance to learn more about the dangers thriving in the capital of your native land from our fair and balanced news media. Tomorrow is a new day.

Hey so i'm finally watching O'Reillys report on Amsterdam. Terrific so far... The lead in intro includes a report "GOP self-destruction?" report featuring Ann Coulter criticizing Conservatives for hurting themselves with the "nonsense" about Obama's birth certificate. (Seeing that you, O'Reilly and Coulter agree on this issue, I am rethinking my position. Perhaps there's something to the controversy after all?)

Okay but back to the big show. The lead in start with the song "Why do birds suddenly appear..." and scenic images, then transitions to "You've got to fight for your right to party" by the Beastie Boys with images of graffiti, black alleys, strippers, and dope smoking. "Sodom and Gomorrah or Disneyland East?" Ahahahahahaha! LOVE IT!!!

• Okay. More highlights! The story featured in the "Culture Warriors" segment (one of your favorites). O'Reilly said that Fox reported on Amsterdam back in December because "some American secular progressives want to turn the USA into a permissive culture like Western Europe, that's what's driving the drug legalization, gay and plural marriage, light sentences for convicted criminals." :)

He calls Amsterdam a permissive city and says the Netherlands is "perhaps the most liberal European country." Then he says they are "now shutting down pot shops and legalized brothels" because organized crime is controlling both.

A guest commentator says the permissive culture over there "hasn't worked" despite the "wonderfully naive ideas about teaching their children to have safe sex and smoke grass." Then a parody video is shown mocking O'Reilly's previous report and comparing homicide and pot smoking rate (which favor Amsterdam and the Netherlands)... Anyway, you get the idea. Great stuff. I guess if the "far left" secular progressives get their way Selma will never be the same...

• And if Selma changes...that would be a bad thing how? I could refute some of these statements, but what's the point. I read in the paper today that "socialized healthcare" has destroyed every country that has tried it. Of course, I now live in the bestest country in the world, with probably the highest incarceration, homicide, and infant mortality rates in the West. We were at the dentist yesterday for Elisabeth's lovely little teeth, and one of the dentists gets a magazine from the Living Church of God or something like that, declaring that the end of the world (i.e., America) is near, in part because of "gay rights" (they put that in quotes).

Doc, in case it wasn't clear, I posted the above because I thought you'd enjoy the subtle digs and politics involved interesting, such as the bits mentioning "plural marriage" in the same bit with gay marriage and the digs at Europe as if it would be the worst things in the world to be more like those areas. I think the whole idea of "culture warriors" and "culture war" is fun. There are some legitimate issues involved and some over-the-top flame-throwing.

Given the number of crazies I guess maybe I should take it more seriously, but I think it is really more interesting and entertaining than anything. But certainly there is an element of fear-mongering that is not constructive and feeds ignorance and bias. The same thing happens when legitimate criticisms and controversies are "sanitized" from wikipedia articles because they are some-how dangerous and unwelcome to the powers that be. :)

I imagine it's a big difference between Amsterdam and Selma, and yet they both have a certain magic despite their imperfections. Can't we all just get along?

Oh, I forgot to mention this: the Beastie Boys played in Amsterdam, not too long after Licensed to Ill came out (in Paradiso? I'm not sure, maybe not). They were touring with Public Enemy and caused a bit of a row cause they had a cage dancer--a nekkid lady, I imagine. Anyway, I missed the show, cause I was working (stocking supermarket shelves for minimum wage in Amstelveen), but VPRO aired the show on the radio, and I got the Joe Averages, who only listen to MOR, to change the channel. I stocked quite happily that evening, me and this other "alternative" guy. So, "Fight for your Right to Party" does take me back a bit, yes. Thanks for reminding me!

Truly you didn't miss much. I gave you the best highlights and saved you from having to suffer through a thorough brainwashing session to get to those juicy bits!

I hope the Beastie Boy dealing with cancer is doing okay. I think they are a very fun and positive group. And I'm a big Public Enemy fan. I've been Fighting the Power my whole life.

There doesn't seem to be the same level of political rap and rock these days, despite arguments to the contrary, but maybe I'm just being nostalgic. I don't find the rants and politically correct ravings of the current crop of sheeple and their musician pied pipers nearly as interesting as the issues PE addressed substantively (the malt liquor man for example). I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Cypress Hill and Rage Against the Machine (although they're the best of the bunch).

Hmm. I don't really know what "politically correct" means anymore. It sounds to me like ressentiment, at least when the letter-writers in my local paper use it. Oh, I love Cypress Hill, BTW, but by now I'm so old that when I use "Looking Through the Eye of a Pig" to illustrate narrative mode, students don't know what I'm talking about. School reform...that would be nice. Here's my politically unpopular opinion: keep parents out of it. In that supposedly liberal place I'm from, no parent would ever consider calling the teacher to complain about their child's grade. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. But I'm with you on the sheeple and the rants about birth certificates and the imminent destruction of America--that is what you were talking about, right? ;) Keep the faith!

Haha, when Facebook went to their 'new layout' I practically gave up on it. But I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Hmm it's not too different, and that's good. I was on the French Wikipedia the other day, and I thought that looked a bit different--maybe they're doing that also.

Original post: FYI, that IP whose edits you reverted, they earlier called someone a "kankermogool" in that article--which freely translates as "retarded person with cancer." That probably should have been reason enough for me to give them a level 3 warning, but I refrained.

Ooo I didn't see that I didn't look deep into their history because the edit I was reverting seemed fairly good faith, if I had seen that I probably would have done more.. I agree with you completely.Jamesofur (talk) 02:08, 7 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-07T02:08:00.000Z","author":"Jamesofur","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Jamesofur-2009-08-07T02:08:00.000Z-Drmies-2009-08-07T01:44:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-08-07T02:15:00.000Z-Jamesofur-2009-08-07T02:08:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks for the reply. It was one of those moments where I'm both happy and sad to know a vandal's language.
