[edit] DYK

I love DYK and it fits my unusual articles beautifully: coming up with a quirky/odd/unbelievable hook is great fun. I've replied to your question on my talk page. violet/riga (t) 08:19, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good article review Johannes Rebmann

Hi, I've reviewed this article, and am afraid that I have failed it, for reasons given on the talk page. Best wishes --Fritzpoll 18:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

When you want to resubmit it, go through the usual procedures, and then drop a line to my talk page and I will look over it. I would try to get some input from other editors to help you. Good luck with the clean-up. Best wishes --Fritzpoll 19:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:You wanna try for adminship?

Yes. But don't create the page yet as my admin coach has stated that he wants to nominate me no earlier than June 7. Thanks for your kind offer, ~ ΜΛGиυs ΛΠιмυМ ≈ √∞ 01:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

 Thanks...
Thank you for showing your support in my recent RfA. Unfortunately, consensus was not really going my way, so I decided to withdraw my self-nomination last night. The final vote tally was (15/7/10). Your support does mean a lot to me, and I will certainly let you know when I go for my next RfA, most likely in a few month's time. Thank you again, and happy editing!

[edit] Bereny

Wow that had to be a world record for tagging!!!!!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 10:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Leemon

Hi, I removed the speedy tag you placed here because the article asserts Leemon is head by over three million people a week on radio, which seems a clear assertion of notability to me. The article reads a bit like crap ATM, but it could be improved, and one possible source indicates it actually understates Leemon's notability (the source asserts he is heard by five million people weekly, has been featured in the LA Times, etc.). Johnleemk | Talk 11:48, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dutch Australians

I will save you the problem of making a comments at the review. Just take care - if you dont know much about Australian history you managed to get perhaps the longest European contact group for the continents history - oops - enjoy yourself and dont take it too seriously - cheers SatuSuro 15:44, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletes and afd are dangerous territory - unless you know the context of the subject of the stub or new article really well the mud or cream on the face can hit back quickly :) cheers - take it easy SatuSuro 15:48, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

ok - just be very sure when you touch on something like that you know the subject a bit better - less likely to get back to you or repeat on you at all. cheers im off now SatuSuro 15:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Electronic communication does not allow for nuances we observe of face-to-face and even discussion. I am not a deletionist, but have nominated some articles for deletion and merged others where appropriate. I looked at some articles you had done and think they looked very good, but on the Dutch Australian AFD it seemed to me you were not taking in the points put forward against deletion, nor reading the article as it developed.

[edit] Rosenberg Brothers Department Store

Has been out of business since the 1970s. It's a historic structure. Do you even read at the articles before you tag them or are you just trying to make a lot of edits? Please try to be more conscientious about the hundreds of tags you apply. You tagged an article earlier as no references even though the templates for buildings on the NRHP gives access to the references. Please stop. -Give Union 18:31, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

Basically, you're right in your analysis. If you spend more time evaluating new pages, you could definitely avoid the possibility for mistakes. Would like me to close your RfA, or do you think you can handle it now? Nishkid64 (talk) 23:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've handled everything. As for your RfA, your final examination was correct. Speedy deletion tagging is always a problem, and if you make mistakes, it will come back and bite you in the butt (it's actually happened to one my RfA nominees). Anyway, I think you need to examine speedy deletion more carefully, and also analyze the criteria again. Remember, if there's any assertion of notability, either leave it alone, prod it or send it to AfD. I think it was your over-hasty tagging that resulted in the opposition for your RfA. Nishkid64 (talk) 23:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm looking forward to giving you a strong support on your next RfA. Keep up the good work and just take this first attempt as an opportunity to get some constructive feedback. —Gaff ταλκ 00:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Thank you Gaff. I aim to better myself and make sure I'm ready for the next shot! Anonymous Dissident Utter 00:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
    • The sorts of mistakes you made are the same one's that I see in myself. There really are a lot of policy issues to understand. I've been trying all day to come to understand fair use policy on image uploads. There are thousands of images on here claiming fair use with no rationale. It seems like the kind of thing that is a lawsuit for Wikipedia waiting to happen. Even if it doesn't cause a lawsuit, it seems that everything in WP should not only be verifiable and NPOV, but also be in line with copyright laws. I've hand to go back and look close at some of the things that I have uploaded (including a handful of images that were deleted). Anyway, you are obviously trying to do the right thing with the strange phenomenon called Wikipedia. —Gaff ταλκ 01:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I am sorry I did not notice in time to comment at your RfA. You are a very valuable contributor to the project, and would be valuable as an Admin. I hope you will try again at some point in the future, but perhaps after a nomination by someone else, and not a self-nom... Yours, Smee 04:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC).
  • Hey there dissident, I am sorry you had to go through all of that, but you're on the right tracks to becoming an admin, and your attitude towards it is top notch, so I'll almost certainly support you next time. Regarding speedy/newpage patrol, have you seen User:Badlydrawnjeff's field guide to speedy deletion? It's really quite a good comprehensive guide with clear examples, and I'd definitely recommend it to all newpage patrollers. Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'll look forward to seeing your name on RfA again in a couple months time! - Zeibura Talk 05:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] German translation

There is no need to attempt to translate proper names such as the names of ships. Also, are you using some machine translation on these articles (as some of the translations are extremely literal). Yomanganitalk 01:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

OK. You need to check the Google output carefully, it is far from perfect. These two phases are suspect "used primarily to assault hostile maritime trades" and "the actual use of the ships at large", they either need further explanation or rewording. Is the article title a machine translation too? I think it is normally referred to as the Brandenburg Navy. Yomanganitalk 01:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
First one is fine. "use of the ships" either needs "lack of" prepending (if that is the case) or some explanation as to why the use of the ships connects to the dissolution of the navy (as this would generally prevent it being dissolved). Yomanganitalk 01:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I would think the other way round. Leave me a note if you want me to swap them, and I'll do it tomorrow. Yomanganitalk 01:35, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My dear Dissident

My dear Anonymous Dissident, first, let me tell you I'm sorry for taking a full day to get back to you; the last couple of days, real life has meade it nearly impossible to edit as much as I use to. I am delighted that you liked the surprise, and know that I wholeheartedly believe you deserve the modest recognition I gifted you. You're a hard working, fantastic editor, and your kind and cheerful attitude makes talking and dealing with you a pleasure. Our mutual friend Bibliomaniac spoke highly to me of your many excellent contributions, which I must admit I wasn't familiar with, even tho your name is well known to me and it immediately gives me a fond smile when I see it; big credit goes to him for helping me to get to know you better, and dedicating you this Day that you truly deserve.
As I write you this, I'm also aware of the recent unplesant circumstance of your RfA. Those are the saddening moments we all go through at one point of our wiki-life, but please, please know that we all think you're doing a fabulous work, and nobody questions yoru commitment nor your writing abilities, which are great. Image copyrights are something we all find difficult at some point, and I was myself opposed at my RfA for messing up monumentally in the matter. Remember my words when I tell you, you're destined to be an awesome admin, and that wil be sooner than you expect.
Btw, I got your email and your suggestion; rest assured I've taken note of it, and I agree with you. That day will come, don't worry! ;) Love, Phaedriel - 05:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the message

I'm impressed by your self-discipline in reacting to criticism. It's clear that you have already absorbed the lessons of today, and they will guide you in the months to come.

I never make commitments longer than two days on Wikipedia because I can leave at any time. But if I'm around long enough to see you at RFA again, my decision is already made. You should be proud of all the "Did you knows". I have two to my credit, but (don't tell anyone!) I mooched them off other newbies when I found some good articles on newpage patrol. :) YechielMan 06:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RFA

Sorry that your RFA failed man. Hopefully decided to keep editing here at wikipedia, and maybe I'll see you up for admindship again, and I'll support you then too. BH (T|C) 06:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

Sorry things didn't turn out as they expected, and I hope you will run again in a few months or so. However, I do feel that some of the editor's concerns do need to be looked at, but to sum it up, don't (nominate for a)delete unless you are absolutely sure. Let me know if you run again, but be sure to include a permanent link to this version of this page (I will put it here in a minute or two), to prove that I said that if anyone notices it (and thinks it's canvassing) at your next RfA, cos I just want to know. Of course, don't tell me if i've already voted! Good luck, and don't be as trigger happy at deletion nominations, and you're sure to succeed! Stwalkerster talk 15:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On 11 June 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Brandenburg Navy, 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.

As a side note, please upload free images to Commons instead of here, especially those you find on other wikis. You can them mark them as {{NowCommons}} (this template exists on all wikis, or at least a redirect does) so that there aren't multiple copies lying around. Regards, howcheng {chat} 23:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dissident. I was wondering about your statement in the new Brandenburg Navy article that "Frederick William's descendants took no interest in the Brandenburg Navy, and it was probably this lack of financial support and interest from William's relatives and the disuse of the ships that contributed greatly to the dissolution of the Brandenburg Navy in 1701." What is your source for this statement? Frederick William was both Margrave of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia, as you know, and he only had one successor (his son, Frederick III) before 1701. It would seem most likely to me that the Brandenburg Navy was dissolved in 1701 not necessarily because of any neglect or decay (I have no idea whether there was or wasn't such), but because Frederick was crowned King in Prussia that year, so that Brandenburg became much less important to him than it had been, and he consolidated his naval operations under the banner of Prussia. I'll leave it to you to judge this information against your other sources and edit accordingly. Thanks for creating an article about an interesting topic I hadn't heard of before. --Tisco 05:53, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit message

[edit] Brandenburg Navy

I've found the answers here and here. Frederick William started his navy not just to project power in the Baltic Sea, but because he was interested in overseas colonies. It was these colonies that his successors had little interest in maintaining, and his son Frederick sold to the Dutch. My understanding of that troublesome paragraph in the German Wikipedia article (with help from freetranslation.com) is in keeping with this. --Tisco 20:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Date on your signature

Hello,

I am always flattered when people ask me about my signature or how to get something like that. Well, it's actually quite simple. What I did was design the signature in a subpage of my userspace (here actually), where I could fully customize the date to my preference. The trick (which I hope is self explanatory on the page) to getting the date to only be added when substituted, rather than on the page is by making the date format look like this, {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTDATE}} for each of the items needed. Like I said, I hope it's self explanatory. Then, in order to get it to sign properly, you put {{subst:User:^demon/sig}} into the "Signature" field in your preferences, and being sure to check the "Raw Signature" option. Then, signing becomes as easy as typing ~~~ (note it's three tildes, not four). Hope this helps. Don't hesistate to ask again if you need some more help.

All the best, ^demon[omg plz] 09:55, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd urge you to reconsider your oppose on DrKiernan's RFA. I was surprised to see you lumping yourself in with the "no use for the tools" brigade. Yomanganitalk 14:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I guess I'd like to add that I agree with Yomangani - I've never interacted with the candidate but I get really annoyed at this idea there are "editors/'pedia builders" and a bunch of other people who are "administrators". At the end of the day someone who writes 6 Featured Articles has done a pretty good job at showing they can be trusted and also a helluva lot more 'pedia building than many editors. Since I have become an admin I have use Protect and Move (uncontroversial MOS) more than block.

I would actually urge you not to use the "no need for the tools" argument in any RFA, as it seems particularly weak. Wikipedia needs more admins, therefore everybody has a need for the tools. In my opinion, whether an editor would use those tools responsibly should be the question, not whether they have a list of tasks that they think potential supporters want to see ticked off in answer to question number one.

[edit] Sassanid Empire

[edit] Alison Jackson

Please at least read the edit summary and look at the differences between articles before assuming something is vandalism. This is the second time I have been wrongly accused of vandalism, both times when I was editing constructively (indeed I am not a vandal). It is not good for wikipedia to operate like this to anons, particularly as most won't know if what they've done has been reverted. 195.137.30.238 09:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

    • My TW messed up - a reversion error I was too late to stop. I trust that has been fixed now. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk -- (dated 09:53, 17 June 2007 UTC)
OK, that's fine, if it was a genuine error. I don't like to think this kind of erroneous vandalism-reverting goes on too much. 195.137.30.238 12:06, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ashbya gossypii Layout

Hi, I added a part to the Ashbya gossypii article and by that could remove one of the "please help to expand ..." boxes. Still, the layout is not satisfying, but I don't really know how to improve it. If you have any idea, it would be highly appreciated. I address you because you left a comment on this topic.

Thank you very much

[edit] Commas or parentheses for scientific name in opening sentence and elsewhere

(Now that was a long header wasn't it?) There's a debate here about commas versus parentheses for scientific names for organisms (well in this case birds). I'm not sure whether this has been raised elsewhere but would be good to establish once and for all here and could apply as MOS across all biology articles. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ashbya gossypii layout

Hi Anonymous Dissident, thank you very much for your reply! Slow? You answered within a day, a weekday, although you said you only had time on weekends. That was a superfast reply of yours!

To the topic: first of all, if you have just general ideas how the layout could be improved, they would be very welcome. I just realize that something is not right with the layout, but I am not experienced enough to know what it is. What particularly disturbs me is that the figure in "Growth, Development and Morphology" is so much larger than the text, forcing me to introduce gaps. Is there a way to make the width of the paragraph less wide? So that the paragraph would be more narrow but contain more lines, fitting better to the figure?

Thanks a lot for helping me!

Spitfire ch

This is indeed a lot better. So the empty lines I introduced rather made things worse than better. If you have ideas how to fix the general layout more: sure, that would be great! (if it's not too much of a burden to ask for)
Thank you so much!

Hi there - just a quick question: did you mean to take out the edit count? [4] I put it in as I was the first there, but as I haven't done it before I may well have made a mistake which you corrected, rather than the removal being accidental, so do let me know! Thanks, Bencherlite 10:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

No apology necessary; thought something odd was happening as your edit summary didn't match what you were doing, which would be unusual behaviour for you! I'll go back now. Regards, Bencherlite 10:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

I object to you saying I was vandalising Lifeblog. I created a new page for the Nokia software as I believe the subject can be expanded. I linked the Lifeblog page to the Nokia Lifeblog page using { { main|Nokia Lifeblog } } as seen here. Coolmark18 11:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: I appreciate your quick response. Although you say you did believe the edits were down in good faith and you believed it to be unintentional, it is annoying that your edit summary states Vandalism. I think I have contributed some good things to Wikipedia and I object being called a vandal as many of my edits are reverts. The reason my edit was so drastic is because I was going to set up 2 individual pages for the Lifeblogs and make Lifeblog a Disambiguation page – this meaning that the main article link would only be there for a short time.

I don't understand why you and exploding boy want to delete what I have written abut Kevin. Please explain.

ZZ —Preceding unsigned comment added by zyzle2 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 21 June 2007

[edit] New yes... but

I disagree. Thank you for your explanation. It makes sense, but from your POV. Ask me about someone playing Major League Soccer and I would feel the same way, but that is not to say I think an article about them should be deleted. Kevin is a big-wheel player on the IFOCE circuit, and though it is a young and often times misunderstood competition, it is a legitimate and televised sporting event with fans and followers. This might be stub, but I am working on original research to contribute to the page about him and his stats and other info. If this is not the forum for tracking someone like this then I don't know what is. hope that you reconsider.

If Takeru_Kobayashi has an entry, then there is no good reason why Kevin shouldn't have one. They are competitors, rivals and contemporaries.—Preceding unsigned comment added by zyzle2 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 21 June 2007

Thanks again. I appreciate the time you have taken to explain. You're right... I re-read again and you're right about the comments. I would like to expand on it but I am currently gathering and writing. How can this not be deleted in the meantime? Should I just re-submit later with more information?

Thanks again.

[edit] User:Raybeard

Please do not nominate user pages for deletion under db-bio. They aren't articles, and they don't have to be notable. I realize you are using automated tools to help in vandal fighting. They give you considerably more power in terms of efficiency. Along with that must come increased case in their use. This is the second time I've had to undo overly hasty edits of yours. Please make it the last - at least for awhile. Rklawton 19:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frederick Augustus Hely

Why did you use {{{PAGENAME}}} a few times in this article? It's mostly used for things in templates, which may have a different value depending on where it is. It's very odd for non-transcluded text, and makes it harder for editors less familiar with wiki-syntax to figure it out. It may also imply that the text was somehow automatically generated. (For example, a vandal could write one "article," using that tag, and quickly produce a number of innocuous-looking pseudo-articles under random names.) Rigadoun (talk) 20:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

It's not that it causes so much trouble as just draws attention to itself. The full name needs to only appear once, right? (After that he's Hely). I changed the one at the top, since that's what I noticed. If you used it elsewhere you might want to change them. It's not that big of a deal, though, I just didn't think it was great style if you do it in a number of articles. Rigadoun (talk) 20:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CSD G11

Hey there dissident, good to see you're still chipping away at special:newpages after your RfA. Just thought I'd make a clarification on what constitutes {{db-spam}} though, as I noticed you put such a tag on the article ESP EXP Series, which doesn't meet the speedy criteria. Speediable advertising has to be really, really blatant, for instance articles about companies written in the first person, e.g. "We are a company who focuses on..." (if in doubt, these often fall under A7 as well) or articles which are just one sentence and a link to the subject's website, e.g. "Get 1000s of ringtones now at www.spywaremagnet.co.uk!!!" Generally, a good rule of thumb to employ with the oft used general criteria (G1, 2, 3, 10, 11) is "if you have to think, at least for a second about whether it meets this criterion, it probably doesn't". There's no harm sending it to AfD or using PROD if you're in doubt. Anyway, keep up the good work, and have a nice day! - Zeibura (Talk) 06:38, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How is Church of Bunny inappropriate?

Greetings,

In regards to your deletion of the Church of Bunny informational page, I do not understand how Church of Bunny is inappropriate... It is simply a new religion which has a different theory of evolution. Do you say that pages about Buddha and other religions are inappropriate? If not, then that is good and it should mean that the Church of Bunny website is appropriate as well. Please explain.

[edit] User:Fatty 2488

You listed this user at WP:UAA for a possible username block, on the apparent rationale that "fatty" was a badword. Although I am not an admin, I reviewed the case and decided that it was not actionable. I checked Special:Listusers and found about 200 usernames that began with the string "Fatty." Apparently some people consider it a term of endearment to call themselves "fat" (as opposed to calling other people fat, which is inappropriate).

I had a similar situation once when I suggested to User talk:Perversedork that he change his username. He explained that he used this names in other forums, and it didn't bother anyone; besides, he's allowed to call himself a dork if he wants to, as long as he's not calling you a dork. I think this reasoning holds water. YechielMan 09:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Johannes Rebmann

AnonDis, the Good Article Candidates page does show the article as currently being on hold. I'm happy to give you any time you need. Geraldk 22:35, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I still feel there are some fundamental problems with the sourcing. I know you trust the foundation, but Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view suggest that sourcing should be to reliable, third-party sources and should be neutral, and a foundation established in Rebmann's memory has a vested interest in making Rebmann sound good (because they do, after all, have to raise money). I'm not comfortable passing it with that source in there, unless another source can be added that is more neutral. Also, you might want to consider splitting the references up into separate notes and references sections or standardizing how you are listing the sources. Geraldk 19:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
No, you're right in differentiating between facts subject to bias and facts that aren't. I'm giving it GA, though with a couple slight adjustments that won't change the substance of the article, I think. Geraldk 22:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

You must have edited in the very short time it takes to actually operate the twinkle application.
