[edit] Nose picking pic

Thank you for your defense. User:Boisemedia is mad that I deleted a link to a website he maintains from the article Boise media. That, I would say is self-serving. He wrote a message on my talk page thanking me for removing it, but has now reverted it, and started this petty controversy over the pic. Please respond on my talk page. Thanks. --[[User:JonMoore|— —JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 03:34, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Howdy!

How about some info on your user page? WikiDon 15:49, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

A simple page is now in place, and I fixed my signature to point to the right page.   — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 15:03, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Since you posted earlier saying that the title should be changed, check out the discussion page. There's a request that the movie be given a separate article and the book the main article. --DrBat 22:48, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Acronym and initialism

I noticed you reverted my change of US -> U.S., and quoted Acronym and initialism. However, that article states that American usage still requires the periods unless it's a pronounced acronym. Since U.S. is always spoken as its letters (as opposed to the word "us"), and the U.S. is certainly an American subject (as is Posse Comitatus Act, the article you reverted), the periods are appropriate and the preferred usage. Additionally, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Acronyms and abbreviations, which specifically endorses the U.S. usage. —Cleared as filed. 23:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I am a native American English speaker, but not an expert, so have mostly just anectdotal evidence that "U.S." is not in general use. I looked quickly for some kind of online style guide that agreed with my experience, and the first one I found was from Canada’s IRDC Style Guide: Chapter 7: Abbreviations and addresses. But the more I look, the more I see that it evidently is not settled which way it should be written, and different groups have a consistent preference over how it should be done. So my final conclusion would be that niether of our edits should have been made.   — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 07:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
However, for consistency's sake, encyclopedias should have a standard usage, and according to the Manual of Style, U.S. is the standard usage here. —Cleared as filed. 13:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caron/hacek vote

There's a vote on Talk:caron where the article should be if you're interested. +Hexagon1 (talk) 10:06, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Split Bean Coffee

Perhaps you noticed, but I just wished to tell you that Splitbean just deleted the entire article. I noticed that you had a large amount of contributions to the article. Would you like me to allow Splitbean to place {{db-author}} on it? I will revert the changes for the moment. Yours, Philip Gronowski Contribs 23:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the article should be deleted. I do think Splitbean must have thought he could get some free advertising for his company, and was a little frustrated to find out that only encyclopedic entries are acceptable. In my opinion the company is on the edge of not being notable, but should not be deleted either.   — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 01:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The City of Lost Children

Hi Chris,

re: French don’t use English capitalization rules from 2006/06/01

I was just following the movie's poster, which seemed like a logical thing to do. The French use your casing, too, but for other films they the English style: fr:Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. Never mind me. --213.196.5.160 12:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

There's yet another vote at talk:caron. +Hexagon1 (t) 04:09, 8 July 006 (UTC)


[edit] Fred Wiseman

Hi Chris. I saw that your discussion page is untouched so i wasn't sure if you wanted people to leave messages there.

removed "Curiously, none of Wiseman's films are available on DVD or VHS in the consumer market." the movies are available, but at exhorbitant prices. $250 to rent Titicut Follies, for example.

That's pretty much what we meant by not in the consumer market. Want to add the info about the prices of the movies? --WikipediaAdventures


I tried adding that information to Titicut Follies, but it was ruled as not conforming to the neutral point of view. See Talk:Titicut_Follies. The pricing information is available at http://www.zipporah.com/sandr.html.   — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 16:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)


interesting. fwiw, zipporah films is wiseman's company, i think it's him and one other person. i'm pretty sure he has complete control over his intellectual property and has chosen to keep his films out of wide distribution. why? i don't know. --Johnjosephbachir (aka WikipediaAdventures)
