[edit] Spanish transition to democracy

¡Has hecho una traducción fantástica del primer apartado! ¿Sabías que el artículo de la Wikipedia en español lo escribí yo? Tenía pensado traducirlo pronto al inglés, ¡pero jamás me hubiera salido tan bien como la traducción que has hecho tú! ¿Dónde has aprendido tanto inglés? :P Seguro que juegas con trampa. Me encantará ayudarte. Intentaré subir algunas fotos.

Ánimo y enhorabuena por tu trabajo. --Waninoco 23:04, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Petición de ayuda

Saludos. Siento no poder expresarme con corrección en tu idioma, pero me dirigo a ti, porque no sé a quien recurrir y sé que dominas en gran medida el español. Soy un antiguo contribuyente de la Wikipedia en español, que hace alrededor de un año volvió a ella. Se encontró entonces con que la Wikipedia en español estaba dominada por administradores que violaban sistemáticamente las normas de wikipedia, como la de la neutralidad y la de no borrar informacion útil. Me he rebelado contra su censura, y he reivindicado el sentido original de las normas. Uno de mis contertulios en mi página de discusión y que ha renunciado a participar en la wikipedia hispana resume así la situación que se vive en la enciclopedia en español:

Una vez que me convertí en escritor y no sólo en lector comencé a descubrir la realidad que esconde este proyecto. Ediciones honestas que buscaban enseñar a quienes quisieran aprender fueron eliminadas inmediatamente. Mis intentos de diálogo se vieron contestados por insultos y acusaciones injustos y por la extendida costumbre de recuperar la versión "oficial", es decir, la de eliminar todo incluyendo la corrección de errores ortográficos. Sólo he sido capaz de conseguir algún avance tras interminables discusiones, mediante la búsqueda de docenas de referencias a revistas, periódicos o documentos oficiales capaces de demostrar la insensatez de las críticas absurdas que con frecuencia se hacen y, principalmente, recuperando una y otra vez los datos que se intentan ocultar. Es decir, la cantidad de esfuerzo que hay que hacer es inmensa.

El gran problema es que las causas de la situación son muy profundas. Por ejemplo, es verdad que hay artículos larguísimos que describen cómo aplicar la política de neutralidad pero no hay ningún sitio donde se establezca breve y claramente qué es lo que no se puede hacer. Así es absurdo que se permita eliminar una edición completamente recuperando la versión anterior sin dar ninguna explicación. Si yo añado algo como "el 12 de marzo Aznar dijo que se estaban siguiendo dos líneas de investigación" cualquiera lo eliminará inmediatamente sin dar ningún motivo. Si lo vuelves a añadir y preguntas en la página de discusión por qué lo han borrado, que lo que has escrito es verdad, que se miren los periódicos que tienen edición digital accesible de ese día y todo eso el resultado es que te lo vuelven a quitar. Y no puedes hacer nada salvo volver a recuperarlo hasta que tú o ellos se cansen. Y es absurdo que esto sea así, porque la política de no neutralidad se resume en dos puntos: sólo se pueden incluir (1) hechos objetivos o (2) teorías existentes descritas indicando que son teorías. Si alguien elimina una contribución que no es puro vandalismo debería justificar que lo ha hecho porque no es ni un hecho objetivo ni una teoría existente. Si no se está eliminando el esfuerzo de una persona que ha querido participar en la Wikipedia lo que desincentiva dicha participación cuando se debería fomentar ya que en realidad se trata de generar un enciclopedia seria.

Yo no quiero rendirme. Y no he dejado de debatir con esos administradores. En mi página personal, he escrito un ensayo donde denunció las practicas que se cometen en la wikipedia hispana. Lo puedes leer en [[1]]

Temporalmente he conseguido algunas mejoras, consiguiendo, por ejemplo, que algunos usen la página de discusión antes de borrar lo que no les gusta o no concuerda con su ideas. Ayer estaba añadiendo información al artículo del 11-M y acababa de discutir con un administrador que quería borrar el artículo dedicado a Leonor de Borbón Ortiz, primogénita de los Príncipes de Asturias, Felipe de Borbón y Letizia Ortiz, y segunda en la línea sucesoria de la Corona española. Este administrador decía que en la wikipedia no debía haber artículos sobre la recién nacida (cuando otras wikipedias lo tienen). Puedes leerlo en Discusión:Leonor de Borbón Ortiz. Ahora no puedo escribir en la wikipedia hispana, porque otro administrador, llamado FAR, que se declara amigo del administrador con que discutía, me han bloqueado la IP, tachándome de vándalo. No me dejan ni el derecho a réplica. ¿Puedes ayudarme, por favor? ¿Con quién debo hablar para solucionar esta situación?

Usuario:Visitante, 12:41, 1 November 2005 (UTC). I Blocked him because he did vandalic editions in another article. I even unknow he was in that discussion (although I have just read it, and he wrote offensive words) And be care, here, we think he is a troll.--es:Usuario:FAR

Just wanted to let you know that I've made some improvements to the Dave Moulton article (bicycle builder). Please take a look, you may want to change your vote on "articles for deletion."

[edit] Your Intimidations and Threats

You forget, sir, that this site is about contributing information or deleting bogus information from articles. If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, and smells like a duck, it is a duck. And that is why I presented the facts that I found, since egg-heads such as yourself have trouble seeing the forest for the trees.

Francis Crick was an atheist, and is appropriate for the Religious Beliefs section of the article. It is not appropriate to talk about a "talk show hosts" freudian analysis of him (which I attempted to delete since it is not appropriate, poorly written, boring, and was pointless). It was deleted by myself. If you have a problem with it, then you can change it back if that makes you feel good about yourself. Francis Crick also felt it was impossible for life to have come into being out of a primordial soup, and is appropriate for the Panspermia section of the article. It is not appropriate to say that he didn't have a belief or interest in it especially given the fact that he cowrote a book about it. These are facts, sir, not opinions.

I am not surprised, however, that a handful of "know it alls" such as yourself would threaten me with "we will find him and intimidate him with our knowledge of his IP address." Are you perhaps going to try to initiate an attack on my computer? Just let me say that I am not afraid of egg-heads such as yourself who spend their lives trying to destroy the only hope that billions of people have (i.e. God or some other universal spirit). So go ahead, egghead, do what you gotta do...

[edit] You Need to Look Up the Definition of "Vandalism" BKWillmn

What vandalism is not Although sometimes referred to as such, the following things are not vandalism and are therefore treated differently:

Newbie Test New users who discover the "Edit this page" button sometimes want to know if they can really edit any page, so they write something inside just to test it. This is not vandalism! On the contrary, these users should be warmly greeted, and given a reference to the Sandbox (e.g. using the test template message) where they can keep making their tests. (Sometimes they will even revert their own changes.) Learning Wiki Markup and Manual of Style Some users require some time to learn the wiki-based markup, and will spend a little time experimenting with the different ways to make external links, internal links, and other special characters. Rather than condemning them as vandals, just explain to them what our standard style is on the issue in hand—perhaps pointing them towards our documentation at Wikipedia:How to edit a page, and the like. NPOV violations The neutral point of view is a difficult policy for many of us to understand, and even Wikipedia veterans occasionally accidentally introduce material which is non-ideal from an NPOV perspective. Indeed, we are all blinded by our beliefs to a greater or lesser extent. While regrettable, this is not vandalism. Bold Edits Wikipedians often make sweeping changes to articles in order to improve them—most of us aim to be bold when updating articles. While having large chunks of text you wrote removed, moved to talk, or substantially rewritten can sometimes feel like vandalism, it should not be confused with vandalism. Mistakes Sometimes, users will insert content into an article that is not necessarily accurate, in the belief that it is. By doing so in good faith, they are trying to contribute to the encyclopedia and improve it. If you believe that there is inaccurate information in an article, ensure that it is, and/or discuss its factuality with the user who has submitted it. Bullying or Stubbornness Some users cannot come to agreement with others who are willing to talk to them on an article's talk page, and repeatedly make changes opposed by everyone else. This is a matter of regret—you may wish to see our dispute resolution pages to get help. However, it is not vandalism. Harassing or Making Personal Attacks We have a clear policy on Wikipedia of no personal attacks, and harassing other contributors is not allowed. Some forms of harassment are also clear cases of vandalism, such as home page vandalism. However, harassment is not in general vandalism. Hoaxes Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point with Hoaxes. This has been done before, with varying results. Some Wikipedians suspect that the majority of hoaxes here are attempts to test the system. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a less destructive test method is to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia, and then to check to see how long they have been in place (and if possible, correct them).

I am aware of Wikipedia's policies regarding vandalism and new user edits. I try to distinguish between new users making good faith edits and those causing problems. If I have labeled or responded to something unfairly, I am sorry. Is there a specific mistake I've made that you have found? Please let me know. Do you have a Wikipedia SN?

[edit] Opus Dei in Spain article

As regards what you said that the all the text of the Opus Dei in Spain article taken from the Library of Congress's Country Study on the topic, I read the Country Study on religion [2] and I didn't find much of what is said.

But I found that this article is taken in toto from the Atheism article on Religion in Spain. I hope this has an explanation. Thanks. Lafem 06:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foreign Aid

Hi there,

I noticed your new articles you've created called "Foreign aid to...". I presume these are part of the wikiproject using Congress Library data.

If so, I wonder if the names of these pages can be altered. I presume the information relates only to aid from the United States and not all foreign aid received by the country? Therefore should they be renamed "United States overseas development aid to ..." or such like. What do you think? AndrewRT 11:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

These articles are part of WikiProject Library of Congress Country Studies, but their content isn't limited to the United States. The source documents usually include information about aid from the US, multilateral sources such as the World Bank and IMF, and other donor countries (see examples Foreign aid to Bolivia and Foreign aid to Indonesia). I do not think a name change is appropriate.--Bkwillwm 16:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok fair enough. Thanks for getting back to me AndrewRT 18:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversions of Bernie Sanders Page

Bkwillwm said: "Regarding your edits on Bernie Sanders, please respond to POV concerns on the talk page. Also, take a look at Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. If you make the same or similar change to an article 3 times in a 24 hour period, you can be blocked. I don't mean to threaten, but someone may try to block you if you keep reverting.--Bkwillwm 02:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)"

There are no valid POV Concerns, the Three Revert Rule does not include restoring vandalism. The vandal has had editors restore the comments before with the note that he was confused by the reasons for the edit.If you don't mean to threaten me, don't.--Anon User

Very well, Bkwilliam, it seems that you have contacted an administrator in recruiting your friend Heah to protect the article so you may edit it and I cannot. Therefore, I have requested comments from Wiki peers, and would request you restore the deleted information until concensus can be reached. Also, I request that we call a truce, and refrain from further edits here until that time. Agreed? Straightinfo 08:12, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I did not recruit Heah. I don't know him at all. I have not worked with him before. You broke the 3 revert rule. I posted a complaint, and he responded. I don't like having people blocked, but you continued edit warring. Heah decided it would be easiest just to protect the article rather than block you, which is fine. I think you just need to realize you have to address others' complaints; you cannot continously revert. The claims of POV in your text have been made by several people, not just me. Several other users have tried removing POV which you restored without trying to compromise. If you would like to propose a compromise text we can agree on, I will add it to the article. Otherwise, I will leave the article as is while there is page protection.--Bkwillwm 10:25, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral Point of View

Hi Bkwillwm,

I have noticed that you have been reverting edits on Bernie Sanders, claiming that they are biased and not NPOVed. However, as the policy states: The neutral point of view is a means of dealing with conflicting views. The policy requires that, where there are or have been conflicting views, these are fairly presented, but not asserted. All significant points of view are presented, not just the most popular one. It is not asserted that the most popular view or some sort of intermediate view among the different views is the correct one. Readers are left to form their own opinions . . .


Therefore, facts which may not present Sanders own opinions are still allowed in the article, as long as they are reasonably presented, and the reader is not forced to believe one thing. That way, readers can make there own opinion, which makes it a whole lot easier—there aren't as many edit wars, because both sides have their views presented.

I ask that you would stop reverting edits which are technically NPOVs, instead, editing them so that they are reasonably presented—and the opinion of which side to take is left to the reader.

Thanks.

—Primate#101 02:19, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

If you feel that User:Straightinfo's edit are consistent with the NPOV policy, please explain why on Talk:Bernie Sanders. I am well aware of the NPOV policy; Straightinfo has misrepresented my complaints. I am fine with criticism of any figure in any article. However, Straightinfo has used original research (see W:No original research), used information selectively in a negative manner, and used POV language. I am not the only person that feels this way, at least 7 other users have problems with all or part of the text Straightinfo has been reverting to in his edit war. I have also made several attempts at compromise. Straightinfo has simply reverted these. While I admire you for advocating on behalf of a new user, I suggest you take a closer look into the situation.--Bkwillwm 20:57, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Self-references

Left a note at Talk:Juntas Españolas. ~ PseudoSudo 05:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Would you mind doing the same with other articles you've translated? It's fine if you're not convinced; I'd suggest asking a third opinion. ~ PseudoSudo 17:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I'll definitely go back and change my other articles if this is standard practice, but I'm not convinced that it is. Take a look at Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week/History. Most of these former translations have references that go Spanish Wikipedia.--Bkwillwm 00:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marx's theory of alienation

Heya - it's good to know someone else will be looking to update it as there's still so much to do to the article, and it's such an important one. I reckon that among the new sections should be some exegesis of the changing emphasis of the presentations of alienation throughout Marx's work. And of course the other two or three types of alienation that Marx describes.

I'm not sure I quite get what you mean about the difference between species-being and species essence. Is there a quotation of Marx writing on species-essence in which he describes the concept differently to the characterisation of species-being you pasted on my talk page? (Because I would have thought that describes them both just fine.)

Also, by citations, is it enough to have written what work it's from after the quotation, or is something more needed? (I don't really know much about the Wikipedia requirements for different things). Looking through it, the few unreferenced ones are from The German Ideology I think, and in any case, you can use the Marxists Internet Archive search facility to find and reference them fairly easily. It would certainly be good for it to be a feature article! Breadandroses 10:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, that's interesting - about species-essence. Wood quotes him (p22): "To ‘produce as a human being,’ Marx says is ‘immediately in the expression of my life to have created your expression of your life, and therefore to have immediately confirmed and actualised in my individual activity my true essence, my human, my communal essence (Gemeinwesen)’." (Which seems to be defining human essence in similar terms as your definition - which I think is entirely correct - of species-being.) But on p21, which seems to support the view that they are not the same, he quotes Marx as saying that alienation is when people's ‘being does not correspond to their essence’. I don't know. I hope that's some help anyway, and good luck - I didn't quote anything directly from Geras in the article, so that shouldn't be a problem for you. Breadandroses 14:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hey, I've noticed that you've edited quite a few articles on Marxist theory. Can I ask that you work on Wage labour? I know it's not specifically Marxist, but since the two are related somewhat, I was hoping if you knew something about it. I started the article a few months ago, and wrote a stub based on the little that I know. However, at the moment, frankly, it is a piece of crap, and I don't really know enough to be able to write it up properly. Could you go have a look? Thanks. :) -- infinity0 20:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America Newsletter - July '06

The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal has been established, as a starting point for those wishing to learn more about the subject, with information and links on a wide variety of issues. It also contains news regarding the continent's various tribes and nations. It's a graphically pleasing site, and everyone is encouraged to check it out.
The project's home page has a new design, featuring tabbed subpages on participants, templates, articles, categories, and the to do list.
The Article Classification lists have been moved to their own subpage due to size. This is a sign of progress in the ongoing work of this project.
The project's talk page template has been updated, along with the classification system, to include the assessment on the talk pages of the articles that have been classified and assessed.
Balance
As the Project reaches its first six months of activity, the great effort all of you have invested in it has turned the vast information available on Indigenous North American topics from a deorganized cumulous into an excellent and easy to consult database. Although much work is still in order, few WikiProjects are able to obtain the amazing results we are proud to show today. To all of you, thank you and congratulations!
The assessment of articles within the scope of the project is still an ongoing process. We need people to help in this who are not contributors to the articles they are assessing. Also, there is the ongoing need for identifying and cataloguing articles that fall within the scope of this project. As of today, nearly 1,500 have been identified within the Project's scope.

[edit] Detalle

Ante todo salúdos y gracias por haber creado el artículo "Galician people": ya pasaron varios meses desde que lo creaste en marzo de 2006, pero espero que aún te acuerdes. A pesar de que discrepo en otros puntos, creo que hay uno objetivamente es criticable: me gustaría que contrastases la afirmación del artículo "None of the provinces was densely populated" con el mapa de es:Demografía de España#Distribución de la población y otros datos de esta misma página. ¿Crees que se sostiene frente a "las zonas de costa y los valles próximos son las más densamente pobladas y donde se encuentran los principales núcleos de población y sus áreas metropolitanas (exceptuando a Madrid), por ejemplo [...] Vigo-Coruña"? Doy más estadísticas:

  • municipio de Vigo (293Khabitantes): el 14º más habitado de España
  • municipio de A Coruña (243Kh): el 17º
  • municipio de A Coruña (6613h/km2): el 5º más denso
  • municipio de Vigo (2692h/km2): el 12º
  • área metropolitana de Vigo (423Kh): la 15º aglomeración urbana
  • área metropolitana de A Coruña (396Kh): la 18º aglomeración urbana

  • provincia de Pontevedra (208h/km2): la 9ª más densa
  • Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia: la 5ª más poblada (y segun mis cálculos la 9ª más densa, a mucha distancia de las 6 primeras pero en un grupo de 5 segundas mucho mayor que las 6 últimas)

Quería saber que pensabas sobre modificar tu original, porque creo que es una traducción de la "Library of the Congress". Gracias por tu atención. --Sobreira 11:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Object-oriented programming

You reverted 12 revisions to Object-oriented programming without comment. Some of those were vandalism, but not all of them. I presume you were just trying to kill the vandalism and didn't intend to revert the other edits, so I reverted to what I feel was a more appropriate revision. But since I'm essentially re-doing what was probably a good-faith edit I thought I should mention it in case you disagree with my judgment. --Craig Stuntz 03:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Turning stone oneida casino.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Turning stone oneida casino.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. ccwaters 16:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:John sweeney aflcio.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:John sweeney aflcio.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree 20:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Autograph book

A tag has been placed on Autograph book requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article consists of a dictionary definition that has been transwikied and the author information recorded.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kkmurray (talk) 04:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Economy of the United States

Thanks for your recent contribution to that article. I'm far from an expert in economics; I was attempting to neutrally reword that passage. What do you think of the current intro? OhNoitsJamie Talk 05:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the rewording was generally good, you just happened to use a word according to English common usage instead of its technical, economic definition. I noticed I made a mistake too since the sentence talks about output and the data was GDP per capita. Generally, I think the intro is OK. New economy changes frequently, so it seems hard to maintain a high quality static version on articles like these. I'll take a closer look and see what else I can find.--Bkwillwm (talk) 18:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Proposed deletion of Environmental issues in India

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Environmental issues in India, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Beeblbrox (talk) 02:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • This talk page is becoming very long. Please consider archiving.

[edit] Your revert on Gift economy

Pls. read Economic system and give reputable sources where the expression "gift economy" is referred to an economic system. As long as you are not able to provide this, I will delete this POV. --Meisterkoch (talk) 12:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
