Hello

As I was cleaning up my watchlist a little bit (I had you on there for the Smile at the top of the page) I noticed you have a similar userbox setup to mine (which is awesome). Just a little tip, if you don't mind, I created a seperate page for the userboxes and then wikilinked it to the main userpage. You can take a look at my page for an example. It cleans it up and gets things out of your way. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 21:38, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I think in some browsers it does look a little weird....I need to give it a "makeover" as well. Which I might do today :) I am glad you like the userpage, I stole the userbox section from someone else too and expanded it to the "content" section too :) I am glad you like it.
As for the Smile, it is just something that we here at Wikipedia do. You don't have to do anything. We just pick a random person and give 'em a Smile on their talk page. Just a little something to brighten their day. It happens alot here. I hope it did the trick. Take Care and Have a Good Weekend....NeutralHomer T:C 22:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, if you are using Internet Explorer, my talk page should look ALOT better now. I looked over on IE and I noticed the problem. After much tinkering, I fixed the problem and it looks much better and my talk page header doesn't take up the whole page. Not sure why it did that. I use FireFox, so I didn't notice it, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 22:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
I am glad on both, the Smile and the talk page :) That's what the Smile is meant to do. You can send them to whoever you like, doesn't have to be a random person, it could be a person you know on Wikipedia. Hope you have a good weekend. Take Care...NeutralHomer T:C 23:16, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:U-Boats Westwards.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:U-Boats Westwards.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Until(1 == 2) 05:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:John_Weller.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:John_Weller.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 16:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Question regarding List of counties in Alabama

  • I have argued, at Talk:List of counties in Alabama, that having a blue link provides adequate context to explain the biographical details of a person honored by having a county named for him. Could you elaborate on why you think it necessary to expand on these nano-biographies? What about the case that a county might have been designated to honor Andrew Jackson's leadership in the Creek War rather than his legacy as President, should he be listed as "Andrew Jackson, United States Army General during the Creek War"? --Dystopos 00:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Manchester United F.C. seasons

Hey man, thanks for participating in the FLRC for Frölunda HC seasons. Could I perhaps ask you to also participate in the FLC for Manchester United F.C. seasons? Any response would be much appreciated. - PeeJay 19:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. To be honest, considering the relative lack of "Manchester United F.C. season YYYY-YY" articles that currently exist, I was almost expecting you to oppose the FLC. Nevertheless, thank you for commenting and I hope User:Circeus will withdraw his objection as soon as possible so that the list can get promoted. - PeeJay 15:25, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

FLCs

Hi, you left comments on the FLCs for The Simpsons (season 2) and Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy, both of which I have responded to. If you could please take another look, it would be much appreciated. -- Scorpion0422 21:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

It would be possible to expand the Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy page so that it was 10 times longer, but it would involve adding the NHL Goal scoring leaders prior to the creation of the trophy. This is done in the Art Ross Trophy page, but in that case, NHL.com lists the pre-trophy winners. I was initially against doing this, but if it will help get it to FL status, I will readd them. Several NHL related books list the winners, so it wouldn't be hard to find a reliable source. -- Scorpion0422 18:11, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I have added info about the second season that I think will address all of your concerns, but I have asked for clarification on one question. Thanks, Scorpion0422 03:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
About Lost (season 1), what about List of Lost episodes? It has links to all of the same episodes and it passed its FLC with flying colours. -- Scorpion0422 03:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello! You edited Neutral Milk Hotel discography, which is currently a Featured List Candidate, but didn't voice a an opinion on the article on its nomination page. I was wondering if you could vote or comment on the article, especially considering your prior experience with Featured Lists.

Re: Iowa county list

Before I remove one column of the dates, are you positive that all county lists that are FL use the organized date? I will also do a thorough fact check before I submit this article to any process. If you could provide an answer to my first question I'll gladly fix the things you've pointed out. Thanks, Psychless 01:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, after considering it for a while, I've decided I will remove the organized dates. I don't think they'd be especially useful to someone looking for general information on Iowa counties. I will make sure to add the information to the county articles when I have the chance. I should be getting around to adding the historical populations of all the cities and towns in Iowa as well, but that's another matter entirely. Thanks for your advice.

Charlotte Bobcats all-time roster

Hey, I just thought I'd let you know that I nominated the Charlotte Bobcats all-time roster for Featured List Candidate since you put so much effort into it. matt91486 17:18, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

FL Main page proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1, 2007, voting starting December 1, 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1, 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

LOTD proposal

You have nominated a recently successful WP:FL. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient to change the main page. WP:LOTDP is a new proposal to try to get the ball rolling based on the original proposal. You can voice your thoughts on its talk page. Basically, what the proposal entails is attempting to run an official trial, and then vote after the trial run on whether to change the main page. Support to run a trial requires much less consensus than support to change the main page. Should we succeed at eventually getting such a feature on the main page it would tentatively look like this. Whether or not you support an experimental trial or not you should come discuss the matter at WP:LOTDP's talk page. I apologize if you have either already voiced your opinion on this matter or already tired of hearing about it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment

I am contacting individuals in the order of the number of featured lists that they had created by Novemeber 10, 2007. You have created several. So you are among the first. There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

LOTD experiment

My userpage List of the Day experiment is getting under way at WP:LOTD. One of your lists has been nominated. I invite you to come by and represent it. If you would like to represent your list article please reformat your username in the table so it is normal sized. Among the things you may want to do to represent your list are:

  1. Change the image selection
  2. Add talk page projects to the list and then add them on the summary table
  3. Write a summary of the article in less than 500 characters. I will begin doing this later today for those who don't do it themselves.
  4. Participate in the feed back process when it starts on December 1.
  5. Participate in the voting when it starts on December 11.

You are free to remain uninvolved. Your list was chosen as being the first one produced by one of the most prolific successful FL nominators.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 18:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Un indien dans la ville.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Un indien dans la ville.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Discogs and stuff

Thanks for the note! You're absolutely right, I suppose I have been a bit inconsistent with criticisms of discographies using discogs.com as a source, my own nominations included. For the record, I don't think that discogs is a reliable source, since it is user-generated. So, I'll take a look at the NIN discography, and make a note on the Feeders discog talk page. Thanks for the heads up. Drewcifer (talk) 01:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

First round draft picks ref

There is really nothing I can do about the n-c-systems. I can't find an alternative sourse and the person who write the site has told me he doesn't wish to disclose where he gets his info. The only other option would be to remove the footnote they are refs for. It allso says at the top of the FLC page:"Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to fix the source of the objection, the objection may be ignored." Buc (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: List of Dartmouth College alumni WikiProjects

I don't know about this for sure, but my experience has always been that categorization is an informal process done at the prerogative of each WikiProject. Some of them include class designations such as "FL", "List," "Image," "Category," etc., while other projects choose not to. In this regard, the rating -- similarly to the importance level -- is considered in context of the WikiProject at hand. Neither the Universities, the New Hampshire, nor the Dartmouth College WikiProjects use an "FL" categorization, which is a choice made based on the needs of each Project and the ways in which ratings are used. It seems to me that the decision to add that classification should be worked out amongst (or with) the members of those projects, not imposed from outside.

As a result of your edit, Talk:List of Dartmouth College alumni is categorized into Category:Unassessed Dartmouth College articles, Category:Unassessed Universities articles, and the nonexistent Category:FL-Class New Hampshire articles, meaning that the bot is not going to pick it up and will report it as "unassessed" (or otherwise as an error) when it is not. Youu have suggested that I "then create one" -- those FL categories -- but it's more than just creating the category; it would also involve going into that syntax and working it out there, too, so that it is recognized by the template. As I have said, I don't think that decision should be made unilaterally without the input of each Project's members. But even if not, I think it should be your responsibility to change it if your edits otherwise result in the disruption or malfunctioning of the normal processes of a WikiProject, as they have in this instance. Dylan (talk) 04:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

My point was more that you made an edit without dealing with the consequences of it, which were the errors that it caused in the WikiProject ranking system. I subsequently had to spend quite a bit of time arranging WikiProject Dartmouth College's templates and categories so that FL appears properly. The other two still return the error. Don't get me wrong, I know you were just being helpful, but please try to be mindful of the effects your edits have. If your edits result in errors that can be fixed by formatting other things, it'd be nice if you took it upon yourself to do that work and not leave it to others to clean up the mess.

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Ipswich Town F.C. statistics and records

Hey Crzycheetah, hope you're having a good weekend. I've responded to your question about European qualification at the FLC. Would you like me to add anything further to secure a support? I'm not sure it's really necessary but I'm happy to discuss it! All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 13:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I've responded (I hope) to your question! Perhaps I'm missing your point on the first note about qualification but re-reading what you wrote doesn't make a great deal of sense to me! Anyway, nothing personal but I hope that I'm getting somewhere closer to gaining your support! Let me know if there's anything more I can do. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I've replied again. I can't ever recall saying they qualified for the UEFA Cup in 1982-83, I think you said that. The article has always (as far as I know) said they were in the Cup Winners' Cup. Anyway, not to worry, I've answered your query again at the FLC! Thanks for your detailed interest, makes a change from other editors telling me I've forgotten an en-dash!! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Once more, I never said we were in the UEFA Cup that year, you did! I've responded once more at the FLC. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Ah, so the talk was wrong, not the article? Perhaps that's the root of the problem! I've answered, hopefully with clarity, at the FLC again. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Despite my reservations, I've qualified every qualification. Hope that will reverse your oppose! Good night! The Rambling Man (talk) 22:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Boston Celtics all-time roster

Most browsers other than Microsoft Internet Explorer (Firefox, for example) should show the roster in three columns under each letter of the alphabet.

Hello Crzycheetah, thanks for your note. I'll need some time to re-review List of Tampa Bay Lightning players but I've hidden my existing comments for the time being. I've also had a quick look at Porland buildings, there's an image gone missing over there so that'll need resolution before I can support, obviously.

Boston Celtics colors

I saw you were coloring the titles of some templates related to Boston Celtics from white to gold. I just wanted to help you out. I think we should decide whether to use gold for all templates or use white instead. You can't use gold for some templates and white for others. It should be either white titles for all Boston Celtics related templated or gold titles.--Crzycheetah 09:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree, but the Championship templates have room for white and gold. For other templates, I just added a little gold trim to the sides, but the middle (the title) should be white, so that all three colors exist. If it's too white or too gold in the middle, it doesn't look good, so that why the Championship templates have both color in the title. ● 8-Hype (talk|contributions) 10:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Those links to the [v d e] and show/hide should have the same color as titles. I suggest you use gold as a background for those championship templates.--Crzycheetah 10:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
See, {{Boston Celtics 1956-57 NBA champions}} for an example.--Crzycheetah 10:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Wow, great idea! But please keep the "v d e" of the Boston Celtics template gold, as the "v d e" in the Boston Celtics season and Boston Celtics Head Coaches is also gold. It just looks better. Keep up the Celtic pride! ● 8-Hype (talk|contributions) 10:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, now I see what you're up to. Yeah, keep the "v d e" white and make the background gold. Really great idea! ● 8-Hype (talk|contributions) 10:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I just want to mention that in the {{Boston Celtics}} and {{Boston Celtics roster}} templates, there are subtitles which have gold background, so background coloring isn't needed. By the way, I am not a Celtics fan.--Crzycheetah 10:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks anyway for the help! ● 8-Hype (talk|contributions) 10:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Boston Celtics colors (Part 2)

I thought we had agreed on the colors. Template:Boston Celtics, Template:Boston Celtics seasons and Template:BostonCelticsCoach all should have a gold trim, as gold is even in the team's logo. The Celtics will also wear gold in their St. Patrick's Day jerseys in the third week of March. Besides, you said that green and white are the colors of the Celtics, but gold is the color you added yourself to Template:Boston Celtics (when you click "show", gold is clearly visible). ● 8~Hype @ 10:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

"Gold is the third color for the Celtics after green and white. Gold should be used whenever a third color is needed. I don't see any need to color [v d e] differently, it just makes the heading of the template look like a christmas tree. In addition, all NBA teams use two colors most of the time and use their alternate color for special occasions only, (like St. Patrick's day). Why should the Celtics be different and nonconsistent with other NBA teams?--Crzycheetah 11:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Come on, Crzycheetah, it just looks chicer. ;) ● 8~Hype @ 11:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

We're not here to make things chicer, are we? Two colors should be used in headings: one for the background and the other for text. White and green colors symbolize Celtics better than gold. I hope you reconsider your position and revert your edits--Crzycheetah 11:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Do whatever you feel is needed. If you revert my edits, I won't change it back to gold. I just feel that it looks more appropriate with gold (it's just very little gold, anyway). ● 8~Hype @ 11:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Team name in infobox

Wouldn't it be better to have the team's logo instead of the team name with link in a player's infobox, for the sake of better recognition? It would even be better to have both, the name and the team's logo. ● 8~Hype @ 13:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Notability of Buildings

Hi Crzycheetah. Up until now, there has really only been this discussion at WP:N. Basically, the only answers we got out of that were that 1) a new building notability guideline should not be created, 2) building articles should not be "mirrors of Emporis", and 3) buildings don't have "inherent notability", and there should not be an article on every skyscraper. There is now, however, a proposed Wikipedia:Notability (Places and transportation), which includes a section on buildings. Anyway, up until the passing of List of tallest buildings and structures in Manchester, members of WP:SKY were creating articles for every building in a tallest building list in an effort to get that list to FL status, as every entry needed an article. (You can see how an article was created for every building n List of tallest buildings in Dubai, and this resulted in a slew of AfDs, and most buildings were only kept as it was stated that the articles "needed to exist to keep the Dubai list an FL). But again, that seemed to change with the Machester list, where the nominator used 1a3 to argue that a list didn't need articles for non-notable (shorter, mostly hotel and residential) buildings, and reviewers accepted that rationale. So, to answer your question, there really has not been much discussion on what skyscraper qualifies as "notable". In working on the Albuquerque list, I approached the notability of buildings from a perspective based mostly on height; the top ten tallest were notable based on city rank alone, and then other buildings were notable if they had other claims to notability (Park Plaza Condominiums is the tallest all-residential building in Mexico, and La Posada de Albuquerque is a very historically notable building; Albuquerque Regional Medical Center, meanwhile, is a small hospital serving only 179 patients, not particularly notable (not sure about this, though, as there is no WP:HOSPITAL)). If you have any more questions or disagree with my assumptions on what buildings qualify as notable, please feel free to leave another note on my talk page and/or consult WP:SKY.

Thank you; I didn't know that yet. When we originally changed all FA-class articles to FL-class, it was not included in the worklist, so I changed it back per this discussion. Thank you for informing me that it has finally been added. Cheers, Rai-me 11:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

FLC

Hiya. There's recently been a few supports of nominations by a couple of people that really bother me. User:PeterSymonds has been blanket-supporting every nomination from User:Gary King, and it's obvious from comments at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of tallest buildings in Toronto that they know each other from working together on that article, which makes his supports even more fishy. Without even a single comment at the nomination, it just looks like he's supporting everything his buddy is nominating without even looking at the article in question. The same with User:ChrisTheDude's at Featured list candidates/List of UEFA Super Cup winning managers.

I'm not saying something is wrong, it just looks like something's not right. And I have nothing against Gary King or The Rambling Man, in fact most of their lists I end up supporting.

You seem to be the FLC go-to-person, so I'm coming to you! I think the policy needs to say something like "only supports or opposes should only be given following a review." -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 21:18, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Boston Celtics all-time roster

You have two options: Either you edit the dates for each player properly (e.g. 2006-07, not 2006-2007), or you just let it be. Beside Cassell and Pinkney, there are many more players in need of a change (e.g. P.J. Brown). ● 8~Hype @ 12:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:LOTD

Congratulations! Both 2003 NBA Draft and 2004 NBA Draft were selected as Lists of the Day for April. Let me know if you have a strong preference for a date.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

2007-08 Boston Celtics depth chart

Many other teams' articles have such a depth chart, such as the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers articles. So why does this template get deleted and others are kept? You said all will be deleted, but that was not the case, and instead only the Celtics article had to suffer. ● 8~Hype @ 05:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

So what's the matter? Almost all of the other teams still have a depth chart template. You said you don't pick on the Celtics, but still only the Celtics depth chart was deleted. So what will we do? ● 8~Hype @ 10:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:2007-08 Chicago Bulls depth chart

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Template:2007-08 Chicago Bulls depth chart. The reason I declined it is because it was created before the TfD of {{2007-08 Boston Celtics depth chart}}, so it's not covered by CSD G4. If you want the template deleted, try a new TfD.

Depth chart templates

They would all have to be nominated at TfD, but the way precedent is now, they would likely be deleted. RyanGerbil10(Kick 'em in the Dishpan!) 13:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC) ¼

Replacement

So if the templates all get deleted, they should be replaced in the respective article which has been using the template by the content of the template, just like RyanGerbil10 did. ● 8~Hype @ 17:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
