[edit] Moving pages

JoseRodriguez → Jose Jorge Rodriguez … Rationale: I'm too new to move and didn't realize URL and name on top of page were same. Plus want to clearly separate from another Jose Rodriguez in wikipedia. - User:Carolmooredc

Hi Carol. Yeah I can see you're confusing some different things here. Let me sort this out for you. Hang on a sec...

...OK I've moved the page you created. It's now at Jose Jorge Rodriguez as it should be. I also created some wiki links (links to various other wikipedia articles) from that page. Maybe you can see some more of these that should added, just to mesh it into wikipedia nicely. You should also create one or two incoming links to this page. If you look here Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Jose_Jorge_Rodriguez, it shows that there are no incoming links (well apart from this discussion page). If you can find an any appropriate article in which Jose Rodriguez could be mentioned (and linked to like this [[Jose Jorge Rodriguez]]), then this will help to mesh things together nicely too. See how that works?

There are some other points which are maybe confusing you. Most 'users' (people editing wikipedia) have a user page, prefixed with 'User:'. Only very few wikipedia editors are sufficiently notable, that they have an actual wikipedia article written about them. It's an honour to be chatting to you :-) You have and article Carol Moore which should be written (and has been written) in a balanced neutral point of view, by many wikipedia editors. You also have a 'user page' User:Carolmooredc where you're free to write about yourself, as you see fit (if you want). This gets automatically linked to, in page 'history' displays and 'recent changes'. Moving/renaming a user page technically tricky thing to try to do. But the pages Carol Moore and Jose Jorge Rodriguez are not user pages. They are regular wikipedia articles. You can move them yourself, using the 'move' tab at the top.

hmmmm hopefully that makes things clearer. Anyway welcome to wikipedia! -- Nojer2 13:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Joserodrigueznucleardeath.jpg - higher resolution?

Regarding Image:Joserodrigueznucleardeath.jpg, could you upload a higher resolution version of this image? Images can be uploaded to Wikipedia at any resolution (the higher the better), and then can be sized to the proper screen resolution when you link them into the articles. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Never mind... I replaced it with one of my own images. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DOB

What is your date of birth? Usually, on articles about people, we include the full DOB next to the name in the first sentence of the article. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding DOB, that's fine. You're also the first I've hit up about a DOB, and so it's never come up before regarding similar reluctance. You do raise a good point, though. I went ahead and put the birth year at the top, and added the article to Category:Date of birth missing. Otherwise, regarding the NPOV tag, it's actually not a lot of stuff that's causing it, and I've been thinking about how to reword those areas. One that I'm particularly trying to reword is the part where it speaks of "wars of aggression". And lastly, I moved the quotes off onto a Wikiquote page. More quotes there = helpful, but we just need to source them. SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources and such

First of all, thank you for your contributions of all the links and such. They will be valuable in filling out the article should it survive AFD.

Also, I invite you to read over WP:AUTO, which is a guideline about how people who have articles about them should conduct themselves regarding those articles. I think a large part of the reason that the article about you was submitted for AFD in the first place is because the perception was that you were a major contributor to an article about you, which is strongly discouraged. In other words, that's a bit of a no-no, and I was deficient in not bringing this to your attention sooner. Basically, in most situations, it is considered proper for you to make contributions and suggestions via the article's talk page (Talk:Carol Moore), and to let others edit the article.

[edit] Deletion of Jose Rodriguez (Activist)

Haven't been back lately but was very active today and decided to check Jose Rodriguez (activist) and low and behold looks like sometime in last 6 weeks they decided he wasn't important enough to keep. However, they still have the disambiguation with the OTHER Jose Rodriguez. And they still have the shell of a page entitled Jose Rodriguez (activist). I'm not going to fight for it or anything but am just curious as to whether this was an official dropping of the page; if I can easily find an explanation just to send him; and anything else of interest you might have to say. You may have been watching the page and more on top than I was. Have made some big changes to and important page and will continue to do so, so will be paying more attention in the future :-)

According to the deletion log, Jorge Rodriguez (activist) was deleted after a proposed deletion was allowed to expire. The article was deleted by Srikeit, but I don't know who originally posted the proposed deletion. For that matter, I also don't know what the reason was for the proposed deletion. I have/had the article watchlisted, and I don't even remember the prod nomination going in, and so I should have seen it. I'm considering contesting the prod, which would get the article restored, though it might be subject to an AFD after that. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and listed it on deletion review, and so the article should be restored soon. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jose Rodriguez restored

The article on Jose Rodriguez has been restored. The prod reason, now listed in the history, states that Rodriguez's notability was questioned. We now need references to satisfy WP:BIO. That's the kicker now. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

After the problems I had with mine almost getting dumped I WAS surprised that it had lasted as long as had. I don't think his most noteable accomplishments are on the web except as noted on his web site. But will throw in a few things and see if that satisfies whomsoever Carol Moore 21:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC) carolmooredc (Talk)

Do you know of any third-party references? That's what the article really needs. SchuminWeb (Talk) 10:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I have seen the original articles and video tapes referred to but they are too old to be on line. Actually he could put the two news videos on line. And even copies of the articles. For now I guess giving them dates would help, and I actually might be able to find a few, but he's away for couple months so can't check his files. ALSO: note that the business about children's books on Carol Moore entry was the OTHER Carol Moore who rates high on google. Will email that person about that.

[edit] POLICY ON TRASHING PEOPLE IN DISCUSSION SECTIONS??

Someone shared obnoxious opinions about me in the discussion section of a page I had edited, based merely on false accusations. Can one claim POV etc and remove such comments from a discussion section? I'm too annoyed to do a lot of research on Wiki policy on it right now myself. Tomorrow. Meanwhile, for any opinions, THANKS! :-(

Carol Moore 02:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)User:Carolmooredc User talk:Carolmooredc

May I take a slight leap of faith and say that the page you are referring to is Talk:DC Anti-War Network? On that page, I've added {{talkheader}} to it, as a reminder that it is a talk page for the article, and not a discussion forum for DAWN. As for the content of the comments there, I don't think there's much you can do except counter it with your own message, which it seems you did. Just please remember - play nicely. SchuminWeb (Talk) 22:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that and hopefully whom so ever will take the hint. And I was on my best behavior cause I have lots of pages I want to fix up -- but so little time to do it!! :-)
