There are many, many bands. To show true notability, and to earn a place in our encyclopedia, a band must satisfy one of the criteria in WP:MUSIC--Anthony.bradbury 23:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Art Film
Hi, I have been trying to improve the Art Film article. You stated that it looked like I had added in some Indie films. I don't think I have added (or taken away) any movies. I am trying to put the list of movies in order, by decade, and put a little info with each movie (year, writer/director, genre). Before I started, the movies were in Alphabetical order. This is only helpful if you know the name of a movie, and you are trying to find it. I think that an alphabetical list is not useful, because it puts a 1929 film right beside a 2005 film, and then after that is a 1950 movie, and after that is a 1919 movie. It doesn't make sense to me......Anyway, I am not trying to add or remove movie titles at this point. Once the movies are all in, I will put a discussion page on the talk page to discuss removing directors that have too many movies. As far as the content of the article, about the features of art films, they are referenced to source webpages on film. I'll go check and see if it's done properly. Thanks for your letterNazamo 21:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, also, the big bunch of movies at the bottom are the movies that haven't been put in the decade timeline yet. How do you feel about sticking to a simple, uniform approach with the movie info (year, genre, writer/director).Nazamo 21:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, I just relocated Magnolia to the proper decade. I also put the comments into a reference note. Adding pictures for some well-known films would be great. About adding more info...I believe that it would be fairest, and simplest to stick to undebatable FACTS (like year of production, writer, director...hmm.. even genre is very debatable.. what one person calls a drama, another calls a war film..........anyway, I believe it will look more uniform if the same info is put for each film. If there is a discussion on each film, it will be a) too long and b) subjective discussion, with opinions not desirable for a list of bullets...I think just a short "sound bite" of facts. These are some ideasNazamo 21:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Importance tag
I have replaced the importance tag on two chemical compounds. Though I agree, both {{importance}} and {{notability}} do and should categorise into the notability category, the difference is that the notability tag states that the article may not be notable enough for wikipedia, the importance tag says that the content of the article is not adressed, though the article may be notable enough for wikipedia. These two articles do not tell why they are important, and may be not notable (but probably are). Removing the importance tag does not remove a backlog of notability, adding contents does, and we, in the wikiproject chemicals, are working on adding content to these articles, but there is a lot of work to be done. Thank you. --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Aquino Page Truth Suppression
When I posted corrections to the numerous lies "Sherurcij" preserves on the page about me, I see that you overwrote it with those same lies seconds later. What about the truth frightens you? This is a classic example of why Wikipedia regularly comes in for public criticism in terms of bias and unreliability of its articles, I might add.
If you don't like the "format" of my analysis - quoting and correcting each lie in turn - then how is that different from "Serurcij"s original posting, which lists lie after lie and represents them as facts?
I have repeatedly requested Wikipedia to delete its page about me, because I am tired of such endless lies and character assassination. Since you seem to be interested, I now make the same respectful request to you. I have no wish to argue publicly on your website; I simply wish to be left alone and not slandered, and incidentally not to have myself or my family endangered by the promotion of such lies.
I rather think you would wish the same were such hate campaigns targeted against you and your family.

[edit] Response from Michael Aquino
Grosscha sent me personal mail, but this discussion page appears to be the only way to answer it:
[Grosscha] >>> My Goal here on Wikipedia is to present the facts in a neutral light. Thanks for your massage about the Michael Aquino page. here is what happede when I removed the changes you made: I was watching pages for edits that did not give or show References sporting the new materal on the page. I could not find any References sporting the changes you made, I am vary sorry if I have missed the References you added sporting the changes you had made. I will be looking in to Serurcij"s original posting's, which you clame "lists lie after lie and represents them as facts". If you can Find references that support what you clame than feel free to change the page but with out facts to back up what you are saying you have no grounds to stand on. Do you understand this?? so I ask the Question to you "What about the truth frightens you?"Max 22:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC) <<<
Thank you for your response. As the page is about me, and I personally attest to each and every correction I made (which were all very specific), that should be an acceptable "reference" unless I am pre-designated to be a liar. And I don't think I should be. See my vitae at www.xeper.org/maquino for my lifelong professional record. Additionally, the documentation supporting every point to which I spoke is often extremely large. My wife and I were under this attack for about four years, and my files are bulging. I had already sent two long, point-specific summaries to "Sherurcij" by email (which he ignored), but they would have been far too long to paste into the article. Also, as indicated in the "discussion" section of that article, I had by then realized that "Sherurcij" simply had a character assassination agenda, and anything else sent to him would only be used for that purpose if he could find a way to do so.
The Wikipedia editorial staff has now removed the malicious material and locked the page into a simple, fair, and truthful minimum, for which my wife and I are very grateful, so the problem seems to have been positively solved.
As an aside, in the "history" of that page, the almost-instant overwrite of my corrections was initially attributed to you, but a short time later your name in that "history" entry was replaced with "Sherurcij"s, leading me to think that you and he are the same person [or alternately that he has access to your Wiki account]. That's incidental at this point, but I thought I would mention it in case there's something happening here that you need to know about.
Sincerely, Michael Aquino

[edit] Water ski articles
Hello Grosscha,
I saw you contribute to Jimmy Siemers article, that's why I'm writing you.
I'm editing the Italian Wikipedia Project with all my knowledge about Water Ski, and I think you and all the other english users can do it too.
I hope you'll take a look at this category, so you can have some inspiration and information to grow up the articles.
Since I'm using a lot the English Wikipedia, I think it is right to give my contribute.
Feel free to [send me an e-mail] if you need something or if you do not understand somethins ;)

[edit] Re:Unusual articles
I see your reason, but Nose-picking is indeed on Wikipedia:Unusual articles in the science section, so it is a relevant photo. I would like to add it back if you don't mind. It is not my photo, nor am I in it; I just think it is rather funny. You are right, Stanislav is interesting, although not exactly unusual. Thanks for liking my favorite quote! Why was the new section added to my talk page added in the middle? It took me a moment to find it, so it is better to use the + tab at the top. Cheers! Reywas92Talk 19:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] regarding orphaned article Anti Marketing
[edit] Anti Marketing
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Anti Marketing, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. i kan reed 04:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

On 2 April 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Red Forest, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
