I added some more content on my article on Jake Warga including a reference to a New York Times article about how he got his start in public radio. As a result, as based on ChildofMidnight's belief that Warga is probably a notable figure, are you willing or able to remove the notability tag?

Thanks,

• George, thanks for your note. I can't say I'm all that convinced, though the NYT article helps. However, I have found some other references to his work (besides all the NPR mentions), and I think you should add whatever you can. I'll remove the tag, but another editor might not be so convinced. CoM feels differently than I do on these matters; he says, rightly, that one doesn't easily find sources on journalists given the nature of their work, but that their importance can be established nonetheless (though in different ways); I say, and I think rightly, that the regular requirements in WP:RS and WP:V should apply here as well. Fortunately, I think that in this case the standard can be met, though the article needs to add a couple more of the things delivered by Google News, and I've just emailed you the text of an article that devotes at least a couple of sentences to him (that you can use in the Transom section). Still, other editors might require more. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 19:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-04T19:55:00.000Z","author":"Drmies","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Drmies-2009-11-04T19:55:00.000Z-Grbrumder-2009-11-04T19:33:00.000Z","replies":["c-Grbrumder-2009-11-04T20:37:00.000Z-Drmies-2009-11-04T19:55:00.000Z"]}}-->
  • Thanks for your help (I added the reference you sent) and for removing the tag, though I'm aware another editor might restore it (my fingers are crossed, however). I absolutely get your point about the difficulty of establishing notability for a journalist but there are a ton of other journalists on Wikipedia several with few sources beyond their own web page. Anyhow, New York Times or not, what I think matters most in this case, as CoM noted, is that we're talking about someone who has produced work that millions of people have listened to (and he's been asked to produce more of it). Any other thoughts as to how I could establish bulletproof notability? You can't believe that NO journalist is notable. Thanks again, George R.

    • Don't get me wrong: I do not believe that journalists are not notable, far from it. But the rules for Wikipedia are outlined in WP:N and that is what we should stick to. Many journalists meet that threshold, easily--see Category:American journalists, for instance. (And there might be journalists there with fewer references than Jake Warga, but that's beside the point: see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists.) Bullet-proof notability will come from a sufficient number of sources that discuss the journalist in question, and while CoM may be right about someone (possibly! potentially!) being listened to by millions of people, the first proper question to ask is, is it verifiable? and the second, how relevant/important is this person? Millions of people, no doubt, look at that woman who's in the TV ads for that insurance company--Progressive?--and that could conceivably be verified, but that in itself does not establish notability, in my opinion: notability comes from a subject being mentioned and discussed in secondary and tertiary sources.

      • Thanks. Your wikilink to "WP:Wikipedia:Other stuff exists" doesn't work -- is that b/c of the WP: you added? I've seen that before but I don't know why people do it and why it didn't work this time. Anyhow, I found the reference and I knew you'd "say" that, and you were quite right to do so -- my error (if there is one) isn't excused by someone else's. In fact, I almost didn't mention the other articles b/c I know it's not a valid argument. Your pointing me to the link confirms that. So, thanks. As for the Progressive example, you're right that millions of people may see her but she's not necessarily the *subject* of the commercial so I'd agree she's not notable. With Mr. Warga, however, he's the creator of the work so if people hear it on the radio, it's HIM their hearing. However, I also get your point about people "possibly! potentially!" hearing his stuff since I have no proof that anyone other than me listened to the radio when his stuff aired. But, doesn't the fact that it's on a major outlet like NPR make it *likely* that millions of people heard him and doesn't the fact that they keep buying his stuff mean the people who hear it want more? Sorry for taking up so much of your time. I'm just getting used to the world of Wiki and, so far, I love it! Thanks again! George R.

        • Sure, that's likely, of course--but again, that doesn't automatically translate into notability. The article, I should imagine, is safe, and you've done good work, so congratulations.

I couldn't get past the first sentence of your Opzij article. What does it mean to say something is a "mainstream" Dutch feminist magazine?

Why is Wayne Warge wikilinked? Is it expected that he will have an article?

Hi, saw your edit comment on Suhr Guitars, and just wanted to point out that as a relatively new contributor to Wikipedia it would've been helpful if you linked "OR" to WP:OR. As it stood, I read it straightforward as "what is either or or praise", and that was quite confusing. Apart from that, I agree with your assessment, I'm hoping to rewrite that section of the article to be a little more useful, without becoming an ad.

I'm just thankful you didn't use canadian bacon, or add ketchup and gravy to the mixture. Doc, do we need to revise interception per the new definition implemented in the Bama game? ;) Also make sure not to lead with your head when tackling quarterbacks, unless you're playing at home! Hahahaha. Looks like you're going to pull this one out. Darn sloppy game all the way around, I would say. I didn't think that pick off your QB was totally his fault. The receiver has to LOOK back if he's going to try to catch passes. And then the other guy drops a ball and there's a safety on the next play. But your QB could work on getting the ball to uncovered receivers. Still, with a little luck and some help from the refs it looks like you're going to pull this one out. I guess it will make the upset that Auburn throws down on y'all in a couple weeks that much more epic (story)?

Drmies: I do think that the sentence on the counter-intuitive nature of cangiante ought to be restored. The whole heart of the matter is that brightness information is more important than color information in viewing and understanding a scene. Cangiante is not just an obscure painting term of 500 years ago. The visual concerns of the Renaissance artists are exactly the concerns we have today whether we're using Painter XI or Photoshop. By removing the sentence you take out the entire point of the article.

• Hello Dante, thank you for your note. The problem, as I see it, is two-fold. First, the article lacks inline references; the one reference you give is at the beginning, and that begs the question of whether the rest of the article is verified by that source or by any other--or that it's either unsourced or original research. Second, the tone of some of the sentences (esp. toward the end), and particularly the "it might seem counterintuitive" sentence don't sound very encyclopedic. Combine these two issues and you have, I believe, a good reason to remove that sentence.

  I think you should look again at your source, find some others, and provide good sourcing for all the statements in the article--and if your source contains that "counterintuitive" statement, by all means, stick it back in: but edit it for tone, and give it a good reference.

• Thanks--but I think I'm not going to change.

I am continuing in my quest to gather suitable references for editing the Missing Persons (band) and the band member pages. In some cases, I am not finding the information that could be used to add to existing content from generally accepted resources.

I am not sure whether I should pose the question as to the acceptability of referencing the Warren Cuccurullo/Duran Duran fan magazine, "Privacy" (example here) on the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. The author is an assistant librarian at Vincennes University, and has contributed to the bands' and members' Wikipedia pages. What do you think?

• Hey Doc, I think it really depends. I don't see how fans' responses to something should ever be cited, and this wouldn't be a very reliable source for it. A more interesting case is the BAM Magazine article--I assume it's not available online from the source, and the information in that article could be interesting. So the question is, would we accept the online version, on a website that is not the magazine or (say) the LA Times? I think I would--it's not much different from accepting, on good faith, a printed source that not every editor can look at. Now, the Cyndi Glass stuff, I don't know who she is, and this particular website does not add to her credibility, so that is not something that I would accept as a reliable source. Go ahead and pose your question: I am not sure at this moment which way I would swing--but in as much as they appear to reproduce (hopefully faithfully) material from other reliable sources, I would proabely accept that. Does that help?

• • Thank you. Yes it does help. I will contact her, and ask if she still has, or can direct me to, any source material from which some of her information was derived. It is apparent that a fair amount of her information came from first-hand interaction with the band members at concerts, etc. After I get information from her, I will pose the question. Finding good references that touch upon the issues that are worth noting in the encyclopedia is challenging in the case of the band, and Dale Bozzio. But then that's part of the fun of it all!

Yeah, I saw that. Not wanting to step on anyone's toes, I do have to say that some editors and some admins made asses of themselves. At the same time, I look for the positive also: some editors really latch on to stubs and make something out of them. CoM worked on one of those mentioned in WP:NEWT, and LadyofShalott was a trooper. I myself have speed-tagged too speedily: see Unthanksgiving day, but there I hope I made up for that (look at the history)--it's in the queue for Thanksgiving DYK. And look at this one: I'm pretty proud of that one, which arrived as a stub with great problems and great potential. In other words, I hope I have atoned for where I may have nominated too quickly or in unfriendly terms, and in the last month or two I've become much more careful (I hope) in the CSD field.

I'm sure we all have incidents we wish could be oversighted (I won't bore you with my extensive list). I will say that your "net positive" is heavily weighted on the "positive" end of the scale. I think I told you I took a shot at new pages once. Very challenging but a bit beyond my depth. I think it took more than an hour to check three articles, and two of those were stubs...lol However, I did make contact with one of the editors and we had an enlightening (for me) exchange.

• Hi Mathew, thanks for your note. If you look, you'll see that I did in fact explain, in the edit summaries--you, on the other hand, simply reinserted that material (using no fewer than 30 edits!) without giving any kind of reasoning. Now you reinserted it again, this time with some edit summaries, but some of the problems I pointed at still remain.

  One example: you say that there is no need to mention characters/actors twice: that's silly, and your removal of these roles from the one-paragraph summary has removed valuable information--your very lengthy play-by-play account takes no heed whatsoever of the relationships between Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven and the current subject: that is a disservice to the article. In one edit summary you said there's no need for a reference for a plot summary--well, with such a convoluted account, that doesn't hold water. Consensus is that there is no need for a reference for a short summary. The problems I noted in the writing remain--for instance, the "then...and then...and then" structure, which indicates merely placing one event after another. That's not summarizing, that's listing every single detail.

  As I suggested in one of the edit summaries, your time is much better spent trying to find some reliable sources to improve the article. No article on Wikipedia was ever raised to a higher level by expanding the plot summary: higher quality comes from better writing and better sources.

  If you want to do the article a favor, and probably the movie as well, reinsert some of the information about characters and roles, in an elegant way. The producers consciously made decisions based on their model--that George Peppard was cast is incredibly important, but you deleted why that was important. At some point, I or another editor will return to that plot, and trim it for economy and rhetorical tightness, and reinsert what was there earlier: unless you do that first of course, which I challenge you to do.

Thanks for being more constructive. I made sure to add mentions of how characters are similar to TMS, and I tried to copyedit some of my run-on sentences and get rid of the "then"s...

Mathew, writing is revising, that's a fact. (And your last version is better than your first, absolutely.) And summaries can be tricky: how much detail to include? Usually, less is more--the plot for Seven Samurai is huge, as is that for Hamlet: but the latter is a featured article, and a lot of meaningful things happen (though I would divide that summary into parts, for the five acts). But like I said before, much improvement comes from finding reliable sources. Drop Google in favor of Google News and you're likely to find fewer things, but of higher quality. Happy editing, and drop me a line if I can help.

"perhaps the status of vendler as a critic of keats ought to be included" - All of the critics included at the critical response section of Ode on a Grecian Urn are critics of Keats, as I tend to include only the major scholars in the list. There are a few more works of scholarship that I left out (see the talk page where I am compiling some more). Mostly, it deals with the reception among the critics, with emphasis on the major views/important views.

• Ottava, I know what you tend to include, since I have studied that poetry also, and Vendler happens to be one of my favorite readers of poetry. What I would ask is some explicit statement on the status of these critics--verified, of course, and to the point. If critic Y says something about the Ode, and you add that critic Y should be listened to (I had a phrase for Vendler but erased it), that would help the reader--certainly it would help the reader who knows less about the Romantics than you do. I mean, Vendler is one of the leading scholars on Keats, and one of the most renowned close readers of our time; surely that bears mentioning. And if you or I say, for instance, that Milton was of the devil's party, who would care? But Blake said it. Everyone knows, or should know, who Blake is--but not many people know who Vendler is.

I'd just get tired typing in "literary critic" every other sentence. :) To Autumn begins each section with "___ century critics say ____" with a generalization.

Oh, I understand. Before you know it, listing one critic after another, you've written a perfectly adequate sophomore paper, but you (I mean you) could do more. In the lead, you've hinted at some varied responses, and to use that statement as a sort of a frame to organize those responses would increase the coherence and usefulness of your very comprehensive overview of criticism. And the first two paragraphs of that response also follow an arc, though it's not made explicit--early responses were negative, twenty or thirty years later critics found much more to appreciate in the poem. From Richards to Rylance, you discuss the final lines--that's also an arc, and a topic sentence would tie those sections together. The final two paragraphs are a bit harder to make a general statement about, but surely the critics you cite agree on one thing: a century and a half after publication, the important critics agree that the poem is a thing of beauty (enigma, great structure, etc.). The chronological organization of many of such sections in a lot of WP articles is often correct and sometimes quite inclusive, but not always very telling: I personally like a combination of topical and chronological organization, and often it is simply true that different eras are interested in different issues; just think about how Abrams changed the game for critics of the Romantic period, or how pace New Criticism some of the best readers of Keats (Coleridge, Wordsworth) are not afraid to use the letters (letters also for STC, autobiographical poems and DW's diaries for WW) in the interpretation of poetry.

How about this - when I have a chance tomorrow, I will put up the last of the critics from seven other books I have (making 12 on the talk page) and we open up a discussion on how to craft them together into nice, tight fitting groups in the critical response that recognizes both chronology but also organizes some into theme?

Sure--but honestly, I don't think you have to do that much work, really. The section is pretty complete already, though mo' is better, I s'pose. Here's what I like to tell people: if you put a whole bunch of stuff together, you probably did so because of some reason, even if you didn't make that reason explicit to you or to the reader. Bring out that reason, those principles on which you organized the material in the first place, and you probably have a pretty tight thing. (I am, I realize, echoing what my dissertation director told me ages ago--stop it, you have enough, start writing.) BTW, that's also the kind of thing I would want to see in an FA, though I don't know if my standards or perspective would be shared by any of those reviewers. I haven't looked at the FA review, but I certainly think all the basic elements necessary for an FA are in the article. BTW, wasn't there some discussion on the quotation marks in line 49, related to the manuscript? Is there anything interesting to say on the textual history, besides the publication in Annals, Examiner, and the collection? I'll grab my books and will meet you tomorrow, if I can--depending on birthday party, nap time, and, ahem, football game. I really like this conversation; you and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but I've always had great respect for your work, though I'm kind of pissed that you beat me to it: you didn't even leave me Songs of the Pixies.

If you want to work together on the Songs of the Pixies and some of the Coleridge works, that would be very helpful. The textual history for this poem, unfortunately, is only a little remarkable regarding the quotation marks placed within the final lines. Most critics seem to ignore it even when mentioning it to focus more on the "Ye". As Motion points out "Critics have long debated the question of who speaks these last two lines" but mostly focus on the possible relationship between speaker/audience rather than who the speaker is. However, a section could be started dealing specifically with the last lines with a small expansion to explain the variation in editions (moving the section out of the critical response). There doesn't seem to be any controversy about declaring the final lines as a quote from the urn (more like a musing before arguing the standard interpretation).

Drmies,

Yesterday, using TMZ.com as a reference, an editor posted information in the Missing Persons Featuring Dale Bozzio section on the Missing Persons (band) page concerning Dale Bozzio's having gone to jail for the animal cruelty charges.

The band is currently not her's alone. Both she and Warren Cuccurullo are now involved with it, and of course other band members, both original and more recent, have made significant contributions. In order to maintain a proper encyclopedic perspective for the band, I think that the information about her case should be moved to her page. Given that there have been different iterations of the band, under differing ownership, it would be logical to move the entire Missing Persons Featuring Dale Bozzio section over to her page, also.

A challenge in moving the text and reference about her case to the logical location on her page is that it compounds the existing problem concerning the information in her Personal life section, that issue being skewed context with most of the write-up focused upon her court case. Other significant events in her life are worthy of note in the encyclopedia, however, noone to date has added that information. Having read through Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, I see the need to quickly add information to her Personal life section. I have a couple of generally acceptable references, however, to offset the volume of text devoted to her case, I will likely find it necessary to source from some of those issues of "Privacy" that we recently discussed. I have not yet had the chance to post the question about "Privacy" yet.

Does an approach such as moving the information to her page, adding info to the Personal life section, and referencing both accepted references and possibly "Privacy" issues with the hope of either having that magazine allowed or finding additional better sources in the near future sound reasonable?

I saw that meatloaf and mac and cheese are considered "upscale" down there near where you are. What a sorry state of affairs. I was happy to see USC get rolled pretty good. Why isn't Pitt getting any respect? And they're going to try to work Ohio State back into the mix? And I guess TCU and Boise are in.

For someone "done hanging out at my talk page", you couldn't resist one more round of incivility, apparently. The other editor felt you were overzealous, and I agree.

No pardon necessary. Stop acting like an ass, by reporting people for things that aren't vandalism, and we'll all be fine. You may not realize this, but reporting someone at AIV for a clumsy edit, that's hostile. You're like the little kid crying that the teacher who punished him was being mean--after you tried to blow up a frog; your definition of "incivility" is having your actions being brought out in the open. Also, it is clear that your actions were guided by Geronimo's earlier actions: here you call the substitution of 'vegetable' for 'seed' a good faith edit, and here, all of a sudden, it has become a level 3 offense. And this is something for which that editor should be blocked? Stop whining, and return here AFTER you have explained your grievance to User:NuclearWarfare, who rightly denied your request that the editor be blocked. And then I'll gladly accept your apology.

What is it with you? Incivility is incivility - and everything we all do here is "out in the open". As for calling it Good Faith in my revert, so what? As for level 3 - he had two prior warnings. Why is this such a big deal for you, anyway - and why must you argue on the original editor's talk page, of all places. As for an apology, you'll not receive one from me for other than wasting my time discussing this with you. You seem intent on "punishing" me (and threatening me) for reasons that are not actionable. And, as you yourself stated, describing my motives is inappropriate. You seem very angry for reasons I cannot fathom - but I'm uninterested in engaging with you henceforth.

Haha, OK. I guess this is classic "playing the victim"--reporting some guy for vandalism, three editors and one administrator at AIV turn it down, and then start crying when you're called on it. I did threaten him, by the way, with hauling him off to the etiquette board if he restored the level 3 and 4 warnings he left for that editor at User talk:Quahog10, and then he sang a different tune. I have seen a bit too much of it, this overzealous anti-vandalism. Note how they think it goes from 1, to 2, to 3, as if these levels have no content.

(Trying to deescalate here). OK, shall we call it a truce? A draw, perhaps? Or whatever. I'm really not interested in forming up "sides" or having an extended battle with anyone, regardless of your take on how things should work here at WP. (BTW, I don't know what "Fortuyn" refers to.) Regardless, I think this discussion can't be good for at least one of us, and doesn't help the encyclopedia. I infer from your commentary that you take issue with vandalism patrolling. I'll, in good faith take to heart your comment about going directly from levels 1..4 without pause. I would ask that you consider two points: (a) [made previously] false positive are part of the WP:AIV process. It seems to work well. (b) (a big issue for vandalism patrollers, like me) it is hard to distinguish, sometimes, from persistent all-out vandals and editors who don't know better - fresh vandalism-only and/or trolling acocunts are setup all the time, and its a bit of a game for them, I guess. For me, I'm neither a deletionist nor an inclusionist, I aim for stability of editing environments - which vandalism (and POV-pushing and incivility) make for unstable, and hence in my opinion, unproductive, editing environments.

Thanks. Look, I have no problems at all with vandalism patrol: just look through my edits. I do it all the time. But after reading up on WP:NEWT (you should really look at it), I realized that some of us are too quick on the draw, and I count myself as one who was quick to react. I brought up AIV because you did--you asked that an admin review whether a block was to be denied, and I told you that an admin did in fact do so in this case. But every time someone is hauled before the AIV court, two things happen: people have to spend time investigating, and there is the possibility of scaring off the newbies. Now, considering the edits this editor made, I don't have high hopes for them, but we could be wrong, and I felt--and still do--that those warnings were too strict (and level 1 and 2 have the advantage of not implying bad faith). Tonight even I have gone from mild to final warning--it depends on what a user does, in what kind of environment, etc. Some edits are just beyond the pale, as you know, so this one is "3 after 1". What I meant, and I hope you understand, is that it isn't just simple addition--a user got a level 2 already, so next time it's level 3, etc. BTW, the Pim Fortuyn painting remark was in reference to User:William S. Saturn's page--look on the right. Alright, let's bury that hatchet, and get back to work?

Hatchet buried, work resuming. Cheers - time for a Whiskey neat and Guinness draught. Thankfully, the bars are still open in my time zone.

An amusing true story - I was in an Irish pub in Annapolis years ago. I ordered a Black Bush neat and a Guinness draught. The very Irish publican says "Ah, a man of me own heart". I tell him I always drink Bushmills. He says "Ah, yes, they sure do make fine whisky,for thieving, murdering Protestants". I had no idea until then that Jameson was made by the Green, and Bushmills by the Orange. Sorry for the digression, I think of that story whenever I imbibe.

Thank you for your message. I happened to take a look at the "New Pages" sectin and saw that article. At first glance, it seemed to be an unnotable article, and being unable to remember the CSD template coding from memory, I put {{db-notability}} - which seemed reasonable. Upon seeing that this was the improper code, I switched it to {{db-g7}}, the proper code for lack of notability. Its my understanding that this was either wrong or overlapped with another CSD (copyright), and the other CSD took priority. While I believe that the end result would be the same, I understand that the distinction is important.

I apologize for acting too quickly and will try to show more restraint in the future. I would like to point out, however, long successes with CSD, nominating several of such articles for deletion under their proper categories.

Again, I apologize for my behavior. --Delta1989 (talk/contributions) 03:16, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-18T03:16:00.000Z","author":"Delta1989","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Delta1989-2009-11-18T03:16:00.000Z-Re:Speedy_care,_please","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-11-18T03:23:00.000Z-Delta1989-2009-11-18T03:16:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Delta, don't worry. But indeed "notability" is not a category, and A7 (not G7) does not apply: even if there were no copyright issue, it wouldn't be correct: see Template:Db-a7. There's a category even for non-notable animals (!), but not for books. What you could do is install WP:TWINKLE, but you still need to know what all's covered under what (Twinkle doesn't have "db-animal", for instance). So I usually keep a window open with the WP:CSD page, just to make sure...

Hi Doc. Thanks for working on the Doughnut Drive this weekend. Much appreciated. I know you'd like to get your shopping done instead so it's something of a sacrifice to cover the A-L countries. You're the best! Also, what does "Do not look at the vessel, but what is in it; there is a new vessel filled with old wine and an old vessel that does not even contain new wine" (Avos 5:27)" mean [17]?

Well it says do not look at the vessel but what is in it. There's old wine in the new vessel. And there's nothing in the old vessel, so maybe someone drank it already? Is this an early bird catches the worm thing? Or that I shouldn't look at the new vessel and be fooled about this old wine that's offered when there's the alternative of an empty vessel? Is there more wine in the pitcher? I think a margarita sounds good right now. What kind of vessel will it be served in? Does it not matter because I'm not supposed to look at it? Will it affect the way salt is distributed on the rim? I need help with scripture. Why won't you help???

That article says not to put new wine in old wineskins because of leakage issues. What does that have to do with not looking at the vessel and disgruntled editors? I'm more confused than ever.

The tourism opportunities in one of Europe's socialist states were featured in the Sunday Times (the real one, not the tabloid). That was an impressive win over Chattanooga's well respected football squad. Impressive! Maybe you can get Samford on next year's schedule?

Thank you for your welcome message when I logged in for the first time. I am new to the internet and am slowly finding my way. I am currently researching an expansion / revision to one of the articles, while at the same time trying to figure out from the explanations how things are supposed to be done. Would it be an imposition if when I have completed my research, I call upon you for help in those areas of editing I am not confident with?Coralhue (talk) 12:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coralhue (talk • contribs)

Can you take a look at this article please? One editor doesn't like any content on this page and keeps reverting, I was approached on my talk page to assist the original editor who inserted the content, and it looks like nothing is wrong. Now there's another removal of text from this page to completely corrupt the sentence, because apparently the word "sensitize" is POV when used in the context of what the organization is trying to do! No shortage of refs, but any attempt by the original author to do anything on either this page or that of the founder M. B. Nirmal is reverted. I know the org as they've kept the streets near my home clean, and I've met the founder, so I'm possibly not "unbiased" enough, but there's no shortage of gnews or gbooks sources to write something. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 22:25, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-23T22:25:00.000Z","author":"SpacemanSpiff","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-SpacemanSpiff-2009-11-23T22:25:00.000Z-Exnora_International","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-11-24T14:36:00.000Z-SpacemanSpiff-2009-11-23T22:25:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Spaceman"}}-->

Congrats. That was a very exciting and interesting game. Javier Arenas did a heck of a job for y'all on special teams. And there were some good running backs on both teams: Ben Tate and Trent Richardson. Julio Jones and Darvin Adams made some plays. McElroy was mistake free. I don't think there is a reasonable argument that anyone except Colt McCoy should win the Heisman, but certainly Alabama has affirmed that they are a top-ten team and deserve to play in a significant bowl game if they can avoid getting routed next Satuday by Florda. :) Did you deep fry the turkey?

I couldn't help noticing that BYU beat the team that you guys couldn't handle in your last bowl game. And you should lay off Charlie Weiss. His Notre Dame team lost to Michigan 38-34, USC 34-27, Navy 23-21, Pittsburgh 27-22 and U Conn 33-30 in overtime. They played everyone tough and beat Boston College, shut-out a potent Nevada offense 35-0 (something Boise State couldn't manage), beat Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Washington and Washington State. They didn't have Chattanooga, North Texas or Florida International on their schedule, so their record isn't as good as Bama's, but you should show some respect for a competitive team that shows up week in week out and competes against legitimate opponents. The poobahs yammering about their "easy schedule" don't know what the heck they're talking about. Those are the same foolios trying to hype up Mark Ingram Jr. as a heisman candidate.

I don't care about USC or UCLA, they're losers this year thankfully. The Oregon State v. Oregon game is interesting though. Is it too early to speculate on how the QBs will go in the draft? We've got McCoy, Tebow, the injured guy from Oklahoma, the guy from Boise State, Clausen, will the Stanford guy go? Who else? And what about Bama's QB? Will he stick around for another year. Stephen Garcia looked good for SC, but of course it's hard to tell against a rival since that whole conference is so weak :) Tough loss for Weiss. But a great game. He needed to go for it on 4th and 2.

That Auburn - Bama game really was a good one wasn't it? I really enjoy games like that where both teams play well. Did you see Notre Dame - Stanford? That was a good one also. I hear Hawaii - Navy is on now. I have to go check that out. I do like USC's young quarterback, but I think it's best not to encourage them.

Dennis Dixon gets the start Monday for Pittsburgh. A second coming of Kordell Stewart? Will his Oregon alma mater be able to handle OSU? That should be a good one too. Lots of offense. Might be hard for you to understand, but try and keep up...

I thought you'd find it an interesting subject. I agree it would be good for a DYK. How do you deal with the "blacks" v. "African-American" issue? On the one hand, it's usually deemed correct to use African-American these days, on the other hand it can be misleading to use terminology retroactively that didn't apply at the time. Perhaps we can mention something to make the distinction clear about what terminology was used then?

I'm sorry you're embarassed about Robert Byrd's Ku Klux Klan membership and the long history of Southern Democrats supporting segregation. I will try not to bring the Democratic party's long history of abusing government policies for big spending cronyism while actively disenfranchising and oppressing the underprivledged if it upsets you. Hopefully with charter schools and school choice, we can finally dismantle the monopoly system of government controls and corrupt unionism that holds so many of our young people back. Clearly educational opportunity is the civil rights issue of our time, and it's not going to be easy to overcome the economic mismanagement we're seeing that is resulting in dramatic increases in poverty, a dramatic decline in the value of the dollar, as well as enormous debts that will be difficult to overcome.

I finally made it out Doc! I felt guilty after telling you I was going and then getting sucked in and being lazy the other day. It was tough to tear myself away from the discussion I was having with Sky Attacker about the prizes and money you're putting up for the Bacon and Fakon International 2010 event. He wants to make up some awards and have it be competitive (see the relevant discussion pages).

It was kind of chilly actually, and I'm grotesquely out of shape. But I got some photos at Cefiore and their yogurt/ toppings, as well as chocolate covered potato chips, and some shots at a candy store of candy dots and chocolate covered bananas. And I have some shots of fried calamari and bacon wrapped shrimp with andouille sausage from Thanksgiving dinner (I did the Turkey and all at lunch on the beach, literally, on the beach). They had recession special drink so I tried a sarzcanac or something (licorice flavor, not my thing) and some sort of delicious hot toddy, as well as a bloody mary.

Did you notice that new Welsh stew bacon dish article? Seems like something a Canadian might enjoy.

I thought it best to wait a day or two so we could expand it properly. For instance, don't you think it should link to George H. Peck (1856-1940) and be fleshed out with some more content on who these people were? I thought you knew about cooking things slowly, simmering, saucing properly, and smoking to achieve proper flavorings and texture?

Thanks for helping with the article buddy. I really appreciate it (it's been almost as enjoyable as giving you a hard time). I expanded an article Bongomatic prodded earlier too.

Your characterization of my Bo Dietl edit as VANDALISM when (1) I quoted a website that has images and text of his racist behavior was very much evident and (2) the facts are STILL in the page anyways, under a registered user and folded into another paragraph, is completely spurious. There is nothing in the text I placed that can be characterized as an unsubstantiated personal attack on Mr. Dietl, and to be blunt, your excise of that line I placed is nothing short of whitewash of a man who went on national television while I was watching it and made racist gestuers and commentary.

My response to your message to me is two upraised fingers or one, depending on country of origin and personal preference. I suggest you take into consideration the hard facts next time and resist the impulse to act with both haste and imprudence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.206.86.159 (talk) 05:07, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-02T05:07:00.000Z","author":"24.206.86.159","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-24.206.86.159-2009-12-02T05:07:00.000Z-Bo_Dietl","replies":["c-Drmies-2009-12-02T05:11:00.000Z-24.206.86.159-2009-12-02T05:07:00.000Z","c-Drmies-2009-12-02T05:13:00.000Z-24.206.86.159-2009-12-02T05:07:00.000Z","c-ChildofMidnight-2009-12-02T05:22:00.000Z-24.206.86.159-2009-12-02T05:07:00.000Z"]}}-->

The Mafia informant accusation is sourced. A New York Post URL is tagged. The Fox News racist commentary is also sourced with a URL. If it were something along the lines of "Bo Dietl is a douchebag" I can completely understand the vandalism charge, but no language of that sort was used. Both these incidents completely alter Bo Dietl's public persona in a radical way from what it would be were they not included. If these aren't relevant, you might as well kill the entire entry, which is stub-class anyways.

My response to the "I'm sorry you feel this way" is still the same as the first.

Ha, yes. Well, I've worked on some articles that I don't care about at all--like actors and politicians, but there are two good reasons for me to do so: a. BLP issues, which I think are moral issues; and b. I want Wikipedia to look good. Hey, Peck's Pier, I haven't browsed the web, but Google News has nothing else and Google Books has nothing at all. We can expand a bit (I haven't looked at your edits yet) on Peck himself, of course. But that was also a great topic, and I wouldn't have started if you hadn't redlinked the term in Bruce's Beach.

What do you think about the idea of merging Peck's Pier with Manhattan Beach Pier so more people read it and are aware of the "pier" history? Just an idea.

Also I left a comment for you on the BB talk page about the Los Angeles Urban Rangers which could also be a fun DYK. And I assume we're going to write up an article on the Pacific Beach Club (is that what's it called? Something like that.) I added some content on the "Ink Well" to Santa Monica State Beach if you want to give it a once over and see what you think. I was a bit tired so it may need copy-editing and context. Cheerios. I hope the family is well. How's the diet going? Buckwheat and farina can be delicious and there are lots of ways to make kale. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:26, 3 December 2009 (UTC) See also Sand Dune Park. And I worked up what I could find on Pacific Beach Club.

Doc, would you by any chance know if there's something equivalent to {{Harvnb}} for journals? I have to cite a couple of journal articles multiple times (at least 10 each) within an article, and to different pages; doesn't make sense to use {{cite journal}} so many times, but at the same time citing the same 30 pages in all spots would be absurd.

  • Flag of India is up for FA removal, needs a significant rewrite before it can be considered GA level. The article was filled with a lot of stuff about other flags (I split it off to List of Indian flags -- which now needs to integrate that content well); another problem is the refs within the article aren't exactly great quality, funmucnh and stuff like that, but it does have a few good refs.

I see that you've reverted my inclusion of several prominent members of the Family and initiated a discussion of this issue here and here. You may not be aware of widespread media coverage about the Family -- I suggest you begin with these sources:

• Terry Gross (November 24, 2009). "The Secret Political Reach Of 'The Family'". Fresh Air from WHYY. The legislator that introduced the bill [imposing the death penalty on Ugandan homosexuals], a guy named David Bahati, is a member of the Family, appears to be a core member of the Family, he organizes their Ugandan National Prayer Breakfasts, and oversees an African student leadership program.
• Ruth Gledhill (November 29, 2009). "Archbishop of Canterbury in 'intensive' efforts to combat Ugandan anti-gay death law". The Times. David Bahati, the Ugandan MP who introduced the legislation, is reported to be a member of The Family, The Children of God, The Family International, The Fellowship.
• Sharlet, Jeff (2008). The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power. HarperCollins. p. 25. ISBN 978-0-06-055979-3.

A list of prominent members of the Family listed in WP:CITE sources available at The Fellowship (Christian organization)#List of prominent Family members. Also see Category talk:Members of the Family also known as the Fellowship#Rationale for category. I do not wish to engage in revert-warring with you or other editors, so I will wait a day or so for your response before I add these facts back to the appropriate pages, which I believe have been deleted in error.

• Thank you, but I don't need to be lectured or patronized. If you have a reliable source for any individual being a member of the organization, that's one thing, and I fail to see why you didn't include those in the first place. Second, the category is under discussion but not at my talk page. My response, in short, is that the burden lies on you, in every individual case, to provide the evidence in the article for your claims. Re-add them, and they might stand, or they might get deleted again. I think the discussion on the category should indicate sufficiently that more than one Wikipedia editor is troubled by these edits.

Did you do a nom for the article? I was about to do one, but then I remembered you did one (I think), but I didn't see it on the Dec. 2 list. Did it already run?

I added an article on bomboloni (pastry). I'm thinking it should be the main article instead of bomboloni. I'm giving you and K-schtick a head-start on the bacon since you'll need it if you're going to have any chance to compete with me awesome and astronomical scoring (does that mean I'm scoring in space?).

Congrats on the big win. A dominating performance. Saban prepared them well. Maybe Utah taught the team some humility?

• Thanks. Hernandez is a fantastic player, and so is Tebow--Hernandez, with Kellen Winslow and a few others, is among the best tight ends I've seen in college. And Tebow is beyond compare, really. Hanging with UT, that remains to be seen, as of time of writing. Yes, I did nominate Bruce's Beach, right after we wrote it, here--where I also left you a now-prophetic football comment.

You almost sound down bro. Congratulations on the huge win. It was really an awesome team performance in all aspects. Tremendous preparation and coaching. It's amazing how much things change game to game, so going undefeated against some impressive competition and dominating Florida to cap it off is impressive. That's the best they looked all season. I expected more gloating from you. I didn't expet them to be able to stop Florida, but McElroy keeps getting better. Of course Texas made it in too. Prayer and faith Doc, sometimes that's all it takes! I know you're probably intimidated by Texas, since they're clearly the best team in College football and have a heisman quarterback, but you guys should just go in and do your best. And if McCoy finishes second in the Heisman race, despite winning a national championship and demonstrating why he's the best, a la Vince Young, that's okay too. In that case you can think of the Heisman as a consolation prize. There's nothing to be embarassed about in falling to mighty Texas. :) Muahahahahaha.
