[edit] Your new article

Hello! I'd like to thank you for contributing to wikipedia, and complement you on a good looking page! I did want to make a few constructive criticisms, however:

  • Article doesn't cite sources. This is an easy problem to solve, although it might be hard to find english pages on this. Just check the guides on referencing, and it should be pretty easy to find some sources you can use.
  • Pictures are always nice. While they're of course not a requirement, when used in moderation, they make pages look better. If you have a digital camera, you could easily take a picture of people playing, upload it under public license, and use that for the page's main picture.
  • External Links: sort of fall into the same category as references. Again, probably can find this with a quick google search.

Well, that's about all I have to say. I checked your user page and saw that you marked yourself as having a basic level of english. If this article was written all by you, i'd say that's at least a notch or two too low! But, if you need want any help with it, leave a note on my talk page, and i'll be happy to do some proofreading when I get around to it (Probably 10-12hrs from the time on this message, as i'm starting to get dizzy from lack of sleep...) Nice job again on the page! -- febtalk 10:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, i've noticed that as a problem with non-native english speakers. Usually, the english they're taught is more 'stuffy' than day-to-day english, although that's not as notable on wikipedia. As far as the accent over the 'o', what I usually do in that case is make an article with standard english letters, and set it to redirect, as I've just done with Valencian fronto. The article should be with the correct spelling, but also easy to access. I'll clean up Valencian fronto for now, Could you make me a list of other articles you've made so I can clean those up too? Thanks! -- febtalk 17:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
No problem! Thanks for making the pages nice and orderly too. From what I picked up in editing fronto, it sounds kinda like racquetball here in the states, though i've never played it. -- febtalk 18:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The "referee" Mountolive

He is not connected 24 hours, you know? he is busy in real life and also quite busy discussing in the talk page of Valencia (autonomous community) while other editors fan el que volen in the article without looking for consensus as I'm trying to. He is also busy translating articles and doesn't have time to revert the blaverist edits which he is sure you or any other use would revert, because that is all some editors do, just revert blaverist edits. I have nothing against you, but just per favor no em toques els collons massa, ok? Mountolive | Talk 21:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way, you did a great job with the pilota article. Mountolive | Talk 22:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
If you want to play the role of a referee, then you could at least try to look non-partial. In this case, if Maurice27 is pushing to the limit with his uncivil comments you could warn him instead of scolding me for replying him politely.
Good faith, I'll believe you revert non-scientifical vandalisms wherever it comes from, too.
per favor no em toques els collons massa. Is that a threat? I don't think I deserve it, just watch my comments (very civil), and my edits (very neutral).
Thx for yor congrats regarding my job at the Valencian pilota articles. Have you noticed I'm not into flag wars? I prefer to explain in my bad English the few things I know than wasting my time with stupid wars. Try to find any clue for my political ideas in any of my articles and I'll clean up them.
Pilota is a Valencian sport, no matter what language players talk or what their political ideas are. I could name Álvaro Navarro Serra as Àlvar, but he regards himself as Álvaro, so who am I to contradict him?
Be fair, my friend. --Casaforra (parlem-ne) 10:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Who said taht I want "to play the role of a referee"? I just want to reach consensus and I'm hoping that we all enter this mood, because actually it is possible if we all abandon the maximalist proposals. I don't want to start a debate about this, but, Casaforra, you know that "politely" doesn't exactly define your reply to Maurice...
I don't know why I am doing this because I am free to do what I want (as you are free not to translate articles yourself) but I just reverted one of those blaverists edits in the Kingdom of Valencia article. As for the Comunitat Valenciana article, I know there are many candidates to do this kind of reverts so you guys don't need me that much, right? ;)
Per favor no em toques els collons massa is a request. A request to, for example, not make edits summaries like "where is referee Mountolive" or similar. On the other side, I can't imagine how someone would feel threatened in wikipedia. At least that would not be my case.
What you're saying about pilota being sportive no matter political considerations is the perfect example of what we should do in the rest of the articles. Again, congrats for that interesting contribution. Mountolive | Talk 07:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I was just looking at the above post and looks like things are quite better these days ;)

Anyway, the motive of this post is that I am trying to upload the covers of the Radio Futura records in this article but I just find the whole thing quite confusing. I opened an account in commons and I uploaded these covers only to be warned some minutes after that "copyright bla bla". I said that they are only record covers, which means that they are eminently public, but they said that no way, that most record covers are subjected to copyright...so am I supposed to swallow that B.S. when I see all the other bands articles displaying the covers of their records?...

I don't know if the problem is that I am supposed to make a picture myself of the record cover and then upload it, instead of copying the cover from any other website. But, in any case I don't have these records here with me.

Now, do you know if there is a way to "smuggle" these covers without meeting "the copyright police"? I understand that there are copyright policies but in this particular case looks to me like non sense to claim that these covers are protected by copyright.

I see here above that you have had similar experiences, so I am just wondering if you have any suggestion.

Thanks! Mountolive | Talk 00:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pelota Players

Hola.

Sorry I haven't written you sooner, but I haven't visited the Wikipedia for some time. No problem with the change on the Julián Retegi page, and thanks a lot for being interested in it. I will try to write new Basque pelotaris pages, but it will be a slow work, since I don't have much time to visit the Wikipedia with my current situation, and it takes my a lot of time to write a simple phrase in English. However, I will try to do it, but I don't promise anything, sorry.
