Welcome to the discussion page, click to leave me a new message - I love getting new messages!

If I have upset or offended you, it was probably unintentional. I try to go out of my way to be nice, but electronic communication can make one's intentions seem hostile, even when they aren't. I'm just trying to make my arguments persuasive and easy to understand. If you have a suggestion or you think I've made an error, let me know.

I've been lots of renaming recently - if I move something incorrectly please LET ME KNOW. The conventions have been modified several times to help reflect how items are referred to. But be nice! I don't know about every company or TV show world wide.

[edit] ICL

You've changed "International Computers Ltd" to "International Computers Ltd.". However, I don't think either is correct. I believe the holding company was called "ICL Plc", and the main operating company was called "International Computers Limited".

[edit] Anime

I invite you to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga to talk about your move of Sister Princess (anime) to Sister Princess (TV series). There are many pages named like this, what is your view? --Squilibob 23:16, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kefford

Hi,

I noticed you changed the entry for 'Kefford Corporation' to 'Kefford' using the naming rules policy.

The full name of the company is actually 'Kefford Corporation Pty. Ltd.' and the shortened name should be 'Kefford Coporation' not 'Kefford'. The naming conventions are different in Australia to the US.

You can check the entry here...

If you use the following link and enter 'kefford' in the organisation field, you will see there are many companies that start with 'Kefford' in Australia.

[edit] Re:Template:Infobox Irish University

My issue is that it was never discussed. Yes you might have discussed it on the other template, but was any attempt made to notify that their was a discussion on the status of the template, no, their is nothing on the the talk page of this template to alert those who have it on the watch list that their was a discussion also they was no attempt that i can see to put a notification on any of the pages that use the template, nor was their an attempt that ii can see to notify any of the editors of the template, nor was their an attempt to make notify that their was a discussion on a related noticeboard WP:IWNB that would say their was a discussion was under way. No one would know that their was until the deprecation tag was added, which then only signifies that a decision has been made, but with out the idea of trying to at least get opinions by the editors and other that might have an interest on the template. Also on the tfd, how am i supposed to know that their was such a discussion, consider that the template was never tagged with a tfd nor was a notice placed on the talk page of the template, non of the editors were notified, nothing on the notice board. So i consider the deprecation of the template as invalid, an will continue to due to the subversion of process. You know you don't want people to act like their are cabals, but it really hard to do that when activities like cabals are allowed to happen. And don't expect to go into a large discussion with me about how a decision was made, i don't care, the way i dee it is you want to delete this template then go threw process, and not back-door it. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I thnak you for understanding my point. Personaly i am discourage by the numerious back-door and underhanded activites that happen here, i would like to think that this is a colberative project in which various editors should be brought together to help creat a better encyclpedia then the few making decisions with out trying to get at least the minium input from creaters of other works that are sought to be replaced. Considering that i was aware of said template since before it's inception, in the assistance of it's inital creator with it's creation, the decidion to me came as a supprise. I would have no problem in working on a way to create a better tempalte, i do still reserve to the right, to fork. As for me, i am still fighting my fights, including a similar one at Guinness regarding mergeing pages based off a tfd, as well as numerious other things tyat more then keep my busy, and backloged. BTW i though at one time on you user page you had stated something about Maryland, their is an ongoing, and becmoing nasty dispute on this page that if you have an intrest or thoughs you might want to check out. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
Stressbusters
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!

[edit] Naming Conventions - Corporations

Looks like you're doing excellent work on getting these sorted - I stumbled across one and found your list while dealing with its links. I just wonder about Corporations - Bose list their name as "Bose Corporation" on their website, we've got them now at Bose Corp., but perhaps something like Bose (audio) would be better? - I was under the impression that disambig by activity was preferable to by legal status - I recon there is just something not quite right about "Corp." in a title. Just some thoughts really, incidently if you let me know how you keep track of that list I'll jump in after my finals. Ian3055 22:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I was working from the convention, my logic being that there was no need for disambiguation so there was no need to include the legal status of the firm. The firm seems to use TVB as its acronym, which doesnt imply the need to keep the 'Limited', I simply sliced it off on the basis that it was the legal status of the firm. Ian3055 18:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Double Live article move

While I don't have a problem with the article move (there's no question that Garth Brooks is more internationally famous and notable than Rheostatics), the next time you move an existing article like that could you please correct any inbound links that point to the old article at the time? I've only just discovered the move now; the links that were intended to point to the Rheostatics album have now been pointing at the wrong article for over two months. Bearcat 00:25, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...we all slip up sometimes. In retrospect, looking at my writing tone there it might have come across sharper or angrier than it should have, so I also offer my apologies if I offended you at all. Bearcat 03:08, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Politecnico di Milano

Hi,

I've noticed you moved the Politecnico di Milano page to an english translation. This is incorrect. "Politecnico di Milano" does not have - intentionally - an english version of its name. The english name is "Politecnico di Milano" Technical University, that's it. I feel it grossly uncorrect to move such a page to a wrong name just to follow a standard... not every place and organization in the world has an english version of its name.

We do not write "Polytechnic University" anywhere in our bios, our papers, or elsewhere... so I feel it uncorrect to see the page under this name on Wikipedia. Please, move it back !

--Raistlin 18:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I endorse this argument. And frankly, if the goal as vowed in WP:Use_English is easier reachability, then coining new names by transilteration of entities which are historically renowned with their own name appears to be very pointless and counterproductive.

[edit] ARM Ltd

Hello there. AMR never refers to itself as "Advanced RISC Machines", not in external but also not in internal communications or publications. I suggest renaming its page back to "ARM Ltd.". Wouter Lievens 22:21, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Seeing as the legal name is "ARM Holdings plc" then shouldnt it be "ARM Holdings"? Ian3055 23:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing University Pages

Hey thanks for the invite! Can't wait to do all the work, but hey we're all obsessive compulsive here. I've already done a few needing infoboxes. Wasn't sure if you wanted me to delete ones from the list as I complete them. Also, how many people are working on this with you? ArchonMeld 19:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay so I've been doing a bunch and even finding missing ones that aren't on the list if that's okay. But once they are done they won't show up in any searches unless you capitalize properly and put the words in exact order so it's kind of worthless. Is there a way to fix this? ArchonMeld 20:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Fast.gif

[edit] Missing album articles Wikiproject

I think that it'd probably be a good space-saving idea to move the missing album articles into at least two seperate categories. Again, it saves space, but it also makes it easier for people like me to see which articles need to be updated and which need to be removed. After all, if they're all lumped into one category, then some can be accidentally skipped over. Eyeball kid 20:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template changes

I know "Be Bold" is a good motto, but sometimes it is possible to act too fast. Removing a template variable which is in use might have been a little hasty in my view, especially with the history of the heated tfd debate. Also, the new template was designed to superceed the existing one, so removing information that was in the original is bound to upset people. I voted to support the depreciation, so long as the transfer was "without loss", so I am also somewhat concerned at what happened. I do also wonder, looking at the lengthy infobox, with its variants for head/colo(u)rs, etc, that it is becoming a Jack of all trades, master of none. Standardization to a common template is good, but is only possible if there is a common standard to adhere to, it might turn out in the long run to return to separate specialised templates if the unified one gets too complex. Time will tell. Regards, MartinRe 19:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

[edit] Thank you for your nomination offer and comments in Lar's RfA!

We are here to build an encyclopedia!

Hi, and thank you for your kind positive comments in my request for adminship! I would have been honoured to have you as a co nom, but as you saw, it was an issue as it was... With a final tally of (109/5/1), I have been entrusted with adminship. It's been several weeks since the conclusion of the process, so hopefully you've had a chance to see me in action. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again, and I will do everything I can to justify the trust you've placed in me! ++Lar: t/c 03:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed policy template use

I've disabled the proposed policy template you had here:User:Reflex Reaction/TV naming convention The proposed policy template is not for use in userspace as it causes personal pages to show up in Category:Wikipedia proposals. FeloniousMonk 22:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted Image

You removed an image that you said was copyrighted on the nudity page. May I ask your source of the copyright information you found on the image and how it does not constitute as fair use?

I'm afraid that you have it in reverse. You need to show that images you uploaded are acceptable within wikipedia, which is very unlikely because they are professional models and the photographer still retains copyright on the images. That the twins were nude does not constitute fair use. Please check out the policy on fair use. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 21:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "RFA cliche"

Just wondering... when you left that comment on your support vote for Fir0002's RFA, you said "RFA cliche #4" and I was wondering what the RFA cliches are. --Evan Robidoux 23:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA
Reflex Reaction, thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for adminship, it passed with a final tally of (65/3/3) - which I find both amazing and humbling. I wish I had time to thank everyone personally, but I'm afraid all I can offer is this token of my gratitude. I hope to live up to your expectations/hopes. If at any stage you need to contact me, for help or a request or to point out a mistake in my conduct, please make sure to tell me on my talk page. --Fir0002 08:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Television Stations

(Pasted in from User talk:Alexdw.)

Thanks for pruning the TV station list! It's nice to have another editor read, understand and follow the instructions. Thanks again. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 21:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

It was my pleasure. Personally, I just wanted the list cleaned up so I could use it for its intended purpose. Now everyone benifits (hopefully). -- AlexDW 11:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I have made up a new list of full-service/class-A US television stations, called User:Alexdw/StationCounting. I have limited the scope in this way so it would only contain notable or semi-notable stations. Not a perfect method, but it was fairly easy to do. I hope to use this list to update the TV station list further, and to get an accurate count of TV stations in the US (for the progress table). -- AlexDW 18:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you created these as re-directs (Redirect created as part of the Missing Encyclopedic Articles project). I'd like to delete them and move Ashtapradhan to Ashta Pradhan, as that should be the correct location. Just wanted to inform you before I do that. Pl. let me know on my talkpage if you have any issues with that. --Gurubrahma 05:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Hi. I just saw this}. I do not require payment... but I am willing to go halves with you on the work. I am an Atlantis nutcase (overly enthused), and am about to begin my Archaeology degree so that afterward I can start my own quest for it (along with the Holy Grail...). Anyway, I'm in the know when it comes to Atlantis - I have over 30 books (which I have read, lol) on it! Let me know what you think; possibly you can save some money :-) Your one true god is David P.

[edit] Minton or Thomas Minton

Hello, You suggested a discusion on the future of these two articles with a view to merger. The Thos Minton article has nothing to offer the Minton article, not even, as I at first thought an illustration - please see Talk: Thomas Milton. In 19 days, I was a lone voice. Somehow, in upgrading the Minton entry, I have managed to remove the merger flag. Apologies, In a few days, if nothing has happened I will propose Thos Minton for deletion.

[edit] RE: Radio Propagation Models

Hi. Thanks for comment. Actually I didnt make Hata model a single page from beginning because I thought having so many large formulae in one page may look congested. If you think merging would be better, you are always welcome to do it. Thanks again. Sayutee 04:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catholic Encyclopedia Project

I just wanted to say that I thought the idea of entering the articles from the Catholic Encyclopedia into Wikipedia was an excellent idea, but I had one worry. Articles from the original Catholic Encyclopedia are being copied, however, the Catholic Encyclopedia was extensively revised and updated recently. The changes are quite significant, especially in the areas relating to historical research. The updated encyclopedia is not yet in the public domain, so using the slightly outdated articles from the original edition may still be a better idea that having no entry at all. I just wanted to put this issue on your radar screen. Thanks,

CBruney

[edit] Homefront

You (moved Homefront (BBC TV show) to Homefront (TV series): Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television))

The naming conventions page reads:

"Additional disambiguation

Use the following when there are two or more television productions of the same name.

   * Prefix the country of broadcast - (US TV series)

   (write US without periods as per WP:NCA, and "US" is preferred over "USA".

   * Prefix the network identification - (BBC TV series)"

One show was designated as "BBC", the other as "American". You then switched it so that the British one appears to be "normative" - Homefront (TV show). In other words, you went against your own reference. You could have changed it to (ABC TV Series) and (BBC TV Series) or (UK TV Series) and (US TV Series). The "American" has been changed to "US" - fine - but the other is back to a non-matching naming convention. The British series still appears to be the default option. Why did you switch it, when the conventions are to designate multiple TV productions - not singular - with prefixes?

Admittedly, it *would* be a minor issue... but the whole point is to make it easier for Americans to find the article about their show. Originally, the disambiguation page for "Homefront" had nothing about it at all, just the British series. Now it's back to a similar situation, making the page more problematic for people seeking the American show. The whole purpose of the naming conventions are to make things easier for readers.

[edit] Atlantis and Location hypotheses of Atlantis (Reprise)

Hi. I know a while ago I said I'd do these articles for you, but I now have end-year exams for the next two months. I have three months off (Start of November to end of February) school soon, so I shall do the articles then, if no one else has already. I'm doing small edits every now and then, but nothing substantial.

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

[edit] Newcastle Port Corporation

Hi,

Newcastle Port Corporation calls itself exactly that. Not Newcastle Port Corp., and not Newcastle Port. This is clear from their website and media coverage.

The convention you cite says "...unless company literature and logos clearly shows a preference for the unabbreviated title (CBS Corporation). ... Also, "corporation" may be part of the company title rather than its official legal status (Birla Corporation)."

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Image:Ufc49 chuck liddell 015.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ufc49 chuck liddell 015.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 17:24, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dieting

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieting There needs to be a bit more disambiguation regarding measurements, in particular with Calorie, calorie and kcal. Since imperial measures are used for measuring energy, there should be also imperial measurements made for weight. Apologies if this was posted at the wrong place.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bye Bye Brasil.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bye Bye Brasil.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Expandable Articles

Hi, there's a discussion on what to do with expandable articles here. As you've discussed this before I would appreciate comments. JASpencer 18:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NRBQ At Yankee Stadium

Hi. You included this album in the list of missing articles about notable albums. I'm starting work on the article, but I'm wondering if anything specific led to it being included. If it was on a notable list of "greatest albums", that fact should be in the article itself. I haven't found it listed anywhere like that, though. Let me know, thanks! --Skyraider 23:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
