Popups

Hi! Thanks for your help in RC patrolling. Be a bit careful with the use of the popups and make sure you revert to the right version. Here you wound up reinstating something which probably should not be reinstated. --Casper2k3 04:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I saw that after the fact. I'm still trying to get the hang of popups. What a coincidence that earlier today, I corrected one of your revisions, and now you corrected one of mine. WODUP 04:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't really believe that you had to vandalize Wikipedia, but please don't do it again. Who knows, maybe you can turn your wikilife around and become a helpful contributor. Also, please sign your posts on talk pages. WODUP (talk) 00:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Today's featured article

Just wanted to let you know a featured article you worked on, 0.999..., was featured today on the Main Page. Tobacman 00:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Female ejaculation

I noticed the note you placed on the talk page of the person who recently added the link to the FE page. What about it is commercial? Anchoress 16:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

The special offers link at the top contains the commercial content. "Here I'll be listing all the sales and different pages I recommend you check out at some point." The site then links to two commercial video rental web sites. WODUP (talk) 16:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

As I said on the FE page, that is not a valid reason to exclude. Anchoress 16:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

(This reply is also posted at Talk:Female ejaculation) Okay. If the link goes in, then it goes in (per WP policy). I feel, though, that the better solution would be to include the information from the web site in the article. WODUP (talk) 16:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Hot Six Revert

I have reverted your revert on the Hot six page. the information that was added is in fact relevant to the novel in question. I will admit that i could probably be better presented though. Kevmin 07:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that revision, thanks for correcting it, and thanks for letting me know about it. At first glance, cars dying seemed like a lot of the nonsense I've seen on here. Again, sorry, thanks, and thanks.  WODUP  ^Talk 19:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

St. Pius X Catholic High School (DeKalb County, Georgia)

You say its vandalism, but I believe the edit you are refering to was an additinonal section I made for the St. Pius X Highschool clearly under the title of "Criticism". Everything put under there was true in the sense that many sources have criticized the school for the reasons I listed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kerouacknows (talk • contribs) 21:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC).

On 2 November, I reverted three of your edits to St. Pius X Catholic High School (DeKalb County, Georgia): [1],

[2], and [3]. I'm not sure that your edits were in compliance with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Verifiability. If you got your information from many sources, please cite those sources. If you'd like to edit without the neutral point of view and verifiability requirements, you might like Uncyclopedia.

Re: The Message on my Anon Page

Yeah, sorry about that. A few of us here are trying to determine if AntiVandalBot has an "Anon Bias" by randomly selecting and vandalising articles, then testing the bot's response time for both reversion and and notification. So far its seems to us that AntiVandalBot is somewhat faster to pounce on anon edits, but not as quick to leave messages on thier talk pages about it; however, that result needs to be taken with a grain of salt because we have not yet controlled for other factors that could be effecting the response time. 129.108.96.221 23:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

problem with edit of Marshan page

In September I put up a page for my band at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshan Before I put it there, there was a disambiguation page. As the links on that page were not exact mayches for Marshan, but merely similar terms, I assumed that I should just replace that page with my exact match. You recently reverted the page back to the original disambiguation page. I'm not a wikifiddler so maybe I did something wrong, but it didn't seem like it to me. What should I be doing? There are no other exact matches for my term (Marshan) so should that page not show my band's information? Boosy 13:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

There are two things we need to discuss. The first is disambiguation pages, and the second is writing an article about your band.

1. Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) tell how disambiguation pages should be set up. There should be a disambiguation page for Marshan because it can have more than one meaning, and the links that are listed fall under misspellings and places in Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages).
2. The first item on Wikipedia's list of bad article ideas is: Yourself or your organization - including a band of which you are a member or employee. Check out Wikipedia:Don't create articles about yourself and Wikipedia:Notability (music).

If you need anything else or have any more questions, let me know, and I'll try my best to help. Thanks for your help on the encyclopedia. WODUP ^talk/_contribs 07:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I have updated the disambiguation page with an extra link for Marshan. I also updated the page with touring information that meets the notability requirements listed in one of the articles you listed. One think I am not sure about - because there is already a disambiguation page with the name Marshan, I had to create the new page with the name MarshanRock, but when the page is displayed the title should really just be Marshan rather than MarshanRock - how can I alter this?

Thanks Boosy 15:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Good news: I believe that your band meets the notability requirements, and I moved MarshanRock to Marshan (band) to meet page naming conventions. You have decided not to follow Wikipedia:Don't create articles about yourself, but it's only a guideline and exceptions can be made.

Bad news: The content seems to be copied from the band's web site or the band's MySpace page, and those sources don't give permission to copy, distribute, and/or modify the content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. I had to replace the page with the {{Copyvio}} template. Either the sources need to have licenses compatible with Wikipedia, or the articles need to be rewritten so that there is no copyright violation. Please read and follow the instructions on the article page. WODUP ^talk/_contribs 05:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

First of all, welcome. You're being bold with your contributions, and that's great! Check out Wikipedia:Vandalism to learn about what is and is not vandalism. I see that the IP user corrected capitalization and removed a section about the city's politics. It doesn't seem that that section was written in a neutral point of view. The user's edit summary was "Attempted to clean up this poorly written article". I don't see a personal dislike of the content. Please see the five pillars that define Wikipedia's character, and when dealing with other Wikipedians, please assume good faith. As you have read or will read in the five pillars, this is a collaboratively written encyclopedia licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, and by editing, you are allowing those edits to be copied and revised by anyone. No one needs your express permission to add to or remove your contributions. I'm going to copy this section to your user talk page to make sure that you have a chance to read it. You can still reply here or on your own talk page. WODUP ^talk/_contribs 05:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

hows that.

and by the way the sources were cut by another editor...you just dont like critizem...as you have shown...and ill bet you remove this and give your self an award.

im going to mention that anmin editors of wikopedia have removed content and sources ...ref: history of artical...its referanced and in wikopedia see artical history

marshan page

You had flagged my Marshan page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshan_%28band%29) a few weeks ago with a copyright violation. I have since placed GNU licence text on the original site (http://marshanrock.com/biography.html) but the page still has the copyright warning on it. Can you remove this please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boosy (talk • contribs) 00:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

I saw that the license changed. An administrator needs to resolve the issue now. Even though it's no longer a copyright problem, it doesn't read much like an encyclopedia article. You might try to wtite it so that it follows the perfect article. WODUP _contribs^talk 02:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

IfD nomination notifications

In regards to the multiple IfD nominations you completed today, you did not notify the uploader, User:Taelmx, that the images had been nominated. I have made that notice for you.

Space food sticks

WODUP you are way out of line deleting space food sticks. 1. I can't see the page you deleted - how do I know someone didn't vandalize it and you have deleted MY hard work?? 2. I only took one sentence from the "fan page" which was advertising copy from the original product launch. that's not copyrighted material - that is historical fact - historical facts are not copyright-able. and I think I did site my source as the fan page.

This whole thing really makes me angry because you show a complete dis-regard for my TIME and EFFORT.

I'm not the only person who edited that page. I did start it.

I start things up - I don't flesh things out. That's what I do. There is nothing wrong with that.

I hope writing this enlightens you a little to my point of view. I'm sure you must think you are doing the right thing but I disagree. --cda 21:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll address your concerns, but I need to remind you of one of the entries under the Policies section on my talk page: Assume good faith. I know that right now you're a bit upset, and that's okay. We all get angry every now and then, but you say that I show a complete disregard for your time and effort. That is not the case at all. We're both here to write an encyclopedia, and I do appreciate your contributions to the project.

I did not delete the article. Angela, and administrator and bureaucrat, deleted it, as seen in the deletion log. I nominated it for speedy deletion because most of it was copied from http://www.spacefoodsticks.com/spacefood/history.html. That satisfies the speedy deletion criterion G12: blatant copyright infringement.

Only administrators can see the deleted article, and I'm not sure that they'll provide you a copy since it was speedied as a copyvio, but you can ask one of the admins in Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles.

If I remember correctly, there was only one other contributor, who added a small addition to the article. It was not vandalized, and if it were and there was a good version in the page history, Angela or I would have reverted to it.

If I removed the copied text from the article, I don't think there would have then been sufficient context, and it may have been speedily deleted under criterion A1.

You are right in that history can not be copyrighted. Specific accounts, however, can be. The text from the web page was copyrighted. There's nothing to say someone can't paraphrase that content and use it as a source.

I hope I've addressed your concerns. Feel free to talk to me about any issues, or you can ask Angela on her talk page. Oh, and be sure to refer to the article as Space Food Sticks, with the first letter of each word capitalized. Any other capitalization results in a different page title and may be more difficult for others to find. Wodup 03:57, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand why you didn't just take out the text you found offensive. The entry, the dates, the manufacturer, the categories - they were all correct. The sentence I took from the fan page "non-frozen balanced energy snack in rod form containing nutritionally balanced amounts of carbohydrate, fat and protein," is just a part of history. It is not the fanpage author's writing. And how can I put that in my own words, that makes no sense at all. The interesting part is the wording that they used.cda 14:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Two examples for you: Salem (cigarette) - pretty much similar to my Space Food Sticks entry. A kind of obscure brand name product, entry includes dates of manufacture, company info, the categories R.J. Reynolds brands;1956 introductions;Cigarette brands;Brand name products stubs and the entry also includes their slogan "You can take Salem out of the country, but...you can't take the country out of Salem." My point is that Salem cigarettes are including in Wikipedia with no problem. Why is something that I enter that is very similar in format not OK?! Here's another example: Slim Jim. How is the Slim Jim entry different from my entry of Space Food Sticks?--cda 16:58, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The article Space Food Sticks appeared to have mostly been copied from that fan page. Regarding Salem (cigarette), this page claims a copyright on the text of the article, however, the text of the article was added collaboratively over time by several users, not all at one time by one user. If the text that appears on the web site were added to the article at one time by one user, I would guess that it was a copyright violation and would tag for speedy deletion. As it is, I believe that that web site is wrong for copying our article and not following the terms of the GNU FDL.

Slim Jim does appear to have been copied from somewhere. Right now, the article very closely matches the product description at http://www.amazon.com/Slim-Deli-Style-Pepperoni-Pack/dp/B000G1BTM6 and may need to be rewritten. Amazon.com says that they've sold that item since June, 2004. Our article on Slim Jim was created in November, 2004. I've replaced the page with the {{copyvio}} template and listed the article at Wikipedia:Copyright problems#2006-12-31.

Also, if you're looking for your article to be undeleted, you need to ask Angela, or if that doesn't work, list it on Wikipedia:Deletion review. Wodup 22:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
