[edit] Arlington

First of all, the re-edited paragraph WAS in my own words. I changed some of the wording around and took out some sentences. Plus, I am not violating copyright law because I credited the Arlington Centinial Book at the bottom as a reference. It's not like I am saying it is my own work. I used a reference! And I said so on the bottom of the Alrington page! And, if you are going to delete everysingle thing I put on this stupid Wikipedia page, then can you at least help me?! Put down a long, convincing, detailed history of Arlington instead of just a couple of sentences. That is what I am trying to do by contributing to this website! I am trying to teach people about the city of Arlington, which I live in!!! If you are going to delete everything I put in, then please, please, PLEASE, make the page look long and professional!!! PLEASE! HELP ME!!!!!

[edit] Hikipedia

Hello,

I've noticed that you have submitted a few nice contributions to the article about Mount Si.

I am currently gathering feedback about the Hikipedia project (which also includes an article about Mount Si). Could you please give me some feedback about the Hikipedia site? Would you consider contributing to Hikipedia?

I know that one can add trail descriptions to a regular Wikipedia, but there are quite a few things that would be too difficult too acomplish: trail-oriented search, embedded weather forecast, voting for trail difficulty and enjoyability, trail reports, links and images of guidebooks. Additionally it is impossible to use content from Wikipedia in a leaflet or advertisment (because of "invariant sections" requirement of Gnu license).

Please let me know what you think about Hikipedia (you can use the feedback page, or reply here).

Thank you for your time,

[edit] My Picture

What do you mean not representative? I cannot represent all Asian people from East Asian Americans to Southeast Asian Americans to South Asian Americans. No picture can represent everyone. I don't know how my picture makes the encyclopedia unreliable. I'm not going to re-add it until a full 24 hours to avoid the three revert rule which you have broken by making three reverts in less than 24 hours. --Dark Tichondrias 00:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Style for Talk: pages

Hi, This is moving off-topic with respect to the original post page (Talk:Ravenna, Seattle, Washington), so here.
Re. "Wikipedia:WTF?_OMG!_TMD_TLA._ARG! --Lukobe 17:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)" at Talk:Ravenna, Seattle, Washington, that page was well done : ) Having searched some technical b-boards or lists, I was ready for worse. (WP seems to have some Easter eggs, too, among shortcuts.) As Far As I Know (AFAIK), I'm using grammatical sentences and only the most common acronyms. I use the shortcuts for source references, after first mentioning a full name and acronym, since citing sources is so very rare anyway. WP and MoS (Wikipedia and Manual of Style) are so very common I expected they would be familiar. (Since Wikipedia is officially encouraging citation of sources, I could do that within references on Talk pages, too : ) I used [1], [2] answers to your questions because I wanted to show rather than tell. However, this tangent loses the thread: What is the rest of "leave such information out altogether"?
Thanks, G

PS: I have as yet found nothing showing U-VIllage Seattle is anything but about uvillage.com. Maybe among the maps at Seattle Department of Planning of Development (DPD), but apart from schlepping downtown to the Department or the main library, I haven't yet found anything other than corroboration. --GoDot 04:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of MEChA link

You removed the external link No MEChA No Racism because you believed that the author was non-notable, but the author had two years of experience as a MEChA member, granting the author credibility. This author has more credibility than the other two authors who have never been in the organization. Their speculative beliefs have never been confirmed by actual experience.--Dark Tichondrias 07:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pike Place Market and the First Starbucks

Hey there Lukobe, not sure I agree with you. The pike place market is the building, not the area. My neighbor is one the board of directors and hates it when people assume it is the whole area. a pet peeve of his, not our problem. none-the-less... The website for pike place market does not list Starbucks as being one of the stores there. Though you promtped me to do some more research. According to the Starbucks website their first store was indeed at the market. The starbucks page here on wiki lists it as now being one block south as you contend. I think a fair compromise is to list the first starbucks was originally there but has sinced moved "one block south" to use the same terminology on the wiki starbucks listing. do you think this would work? 66.235.35.207 05:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Market Map

Hey there, Let's be clear here, I'm just trying to make the page as accurate as we can, I'm not doing it to piss you off, and I'm not trying to piss you off. Even common misconceptions are still misconceptions. The map shows many markets and they are all in the vicinity of Pike Place Market but each market is listed accurately (i.e. Sanitary Public Market, etc.) Even that map does not list everything as being Pike Place Market. Perhaps there should be a whole new page about all the markets at the Pike Place Market area, I dunno. Secondly, I am not going to bug my neighbor about this. I think he has better things to do. He's just a human with a wife and children as Wayne Coyne would say. Finally, I looked hard at that map and saw no mention of Starbucks so I think we got it right about Starbucks having moved a block away. Final finally, I took your suggestion and registered. So if you see 'ImpulsivePuppy' thats me. I see you have been doing this for a while so I certainly welcome any advice you have to give. I actually have a personal pic of the pig (isn't she called Bessie?) at the market that I took. I would be happy to upload it to replace the incorrect pic that I took down. But I do not really know how to do this. If you would like to help a novice such as myself that would be great, or even point me in the right direction. Ok brother, take it easy. 66.235.35.207 17:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asian American copyedit vs. cleanup

I'm just curious as to why you prefer the copyedit bug vs. cleanup. I think that some significant editing is needed on the existing copy, plus additions on the rest. Maybe it's no big deal either way. I'm resigned to let a certain user go to town with annoying edits and then see who does what with what results. I'll come back to the page in a few months or so. --ishu 00:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

"Certain user:" You said it, not me. And I hesitated to use the expert tag, for fear that certain users might fancy themselves to be the experts. Let's see who shows up to the copyedit/cleanup jamboree. Cheers, --ishu 01:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seen Seattle_before_the_city ?

Also, GoDot is being intractable at Duwamish (tribe). I am considering giving up... :| --Lukobe 06:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Please, please don't give up. You are a really valuable contributor here. If you need a break, take one! But come back!

Thanks Joe, that really means a lot coming from you. But don't worry. I just meant I was considering giving up on anything having to do with GoDot :) --Lukobe 08:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

The notes on Seattle_before_the_city are impenetrable. I hope they are work in progress.Fixed it, it was a wiki syntax problem.

I've found GoDot pretty consistently uncooperative and very hard to work with. The main thing I can point at is his incomprehensible edit summaries, but the thing I've found really difficult is harder to pin down: an absolute tin ear. And for someone so picky, he's really sloppy and I find myself cleaning up after him. He will bog down an article in minutiae to the point of obscuring the matters that are likely to be of interest to the reader, and he keeps using non-English vocabulary for things that have perfectly common English names. It's more than fine to give the historic native name of a Native American group once in an article, but when they themselves never use it when writing in English, why on earth should we use it as if it's the common name?

Maybe we need to go the RFC (etc.) route? Or just see if we can get somewhere by centralizing discussion at Talk:Seattle? or even (on the names issue) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America. The thing is, I've got plenty else to do, and the Seattle articles really aren't my priority. I'm willing to participate, but not to drive it.

I have no problem if you want to walk away from the issue for a while. But if you do want to go ahead with something probably the first step is to prioritize the issues. - Jmabel | Talk 07:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed that there is no such thing as "Pike Market", at least not in Seattle.

On one level, the biggest issue is probably that he is writing unreadably dull, hairsplitting articles. The problem is, there is no rule against that. It's a real problem when those are replacing lively, readable articles on the same topics, though. - Jmabel | Talk 07:10, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, it's so weird that he keeps using these Native American words without spelling them correctly. I don't know that many of them, but half the ones I knew had wrong orthography. - Jmabel | Talk 07:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I want to know more about the fellow. Anyway, I looked up the RFC process, and apparently it's a good idea to conduct a poll first, so I posted one about how to spell Duwamish. Perhaps that will attract some outside attention, and we can go from there. I don't know really how much time I can devote to this either, but I suspect more than you, since the Seattle articles are my priority...so we shall see. Work is really busy this year...

Bringing stuff to Talk:Seattle, Washington hasn't seemed to have produced many results in the past, but your Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America suggestion is ingenious. I may end up going that route. Thanks Joe. --Lukobe 08:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Speedy deletions

"For pages that need deletion, edit the page and add the appropriate speedy deletion template (depending on which of the speedy deletion criteria the page satisfies) to the top." (Wikipedia:Speedy deletions)

Both are redirects. Since this has incorrect naming convention and capitalization, can this be summarily deleted? (What links here has been corrected, nothing links to it)

No need to delete these redirects--they don't harm anyone. --Lukobe 18:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

True, but they are cruft. No useful purpose is served by them; their form is not correct. If practical, they are better simply deleted. --GoDot 04:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Somebody might type "Duwamish Tribe" in the search box. I'd say leave 'em...but won't fight to keep 'em either. --Lukobe 05:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

It is normal to keep redirects like this. Sometimes we even redirect common misspellings. The idea is that is someone looks for an article under a more or less reasonable title, they will still reach the article. See Wikipedia:Redirection#What do we use redirects for?. Seems pretty clear that these should be kept. - Jmabel | Talk 22:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
