[edit] Dvirgueza again
Hello. Yeah, I can see what you mean. It is becoming a real problem. If the user touches any of those articles we've been reverting lately and return them to his version, I will block him for a period of one month. I think it's the least that can be done now, considering he gives other users no ears whatsoever. One month sounds good enough to me. Long enough for someone to forget about things and stop kidding around. But that won't do much, since he's using sockpuppets and all. I think in that case, I should probably open a discussion about him on the Administrators' noticeboard, so that other sysops would get into it.
I'll wait until he goes out of line again, then I'll take that action. Better that way, or people might accuse me of being a fasty blocker. It has happened before.
About regular users having a "one-click reversion button", I'm not sure. If they used to have that, I really don't remember. I actually think that would be dangerous, since it would put admins and regular users in the same level when it comes to this. For things to stay stable in Wikipedia, I believe administrators have to always be a step forward. Otherwise, vandals win.
Thanks again for your input. If you need any help again, just send me a message. See you.--Kaonashi 23:58, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Primary candidates VFD
Many of the candidates for the June 14, 2005, congressional primary have been proposed for deletion. I am writing those who worked on those articles to request that they offer their votes against the proposal. The VFD's can be found starting at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Log/2005_August_8#Peter_Fossett. It is my view that we ought to provide a complete record of the election and my deleting so called "minor" candidates we do a disservice to them and the historical record. Please vote against all these proposals.PedanticallySpeaking 14:54, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

I have absolutely no idea where the list came from. I would guess, if I had to, that it came from here. No idea the source for that. One would assume that the latter part of the list comes from Josephus, but I have no real idea. Surely some of them must be mentioned by Josephus. john k 06:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

hi, i hope u don't mind me contacting u like this. maybe i'm misinterpreting the situation, or maybe i'm just a bit stupid, but i don't think the argument to remove is coming across clearly. i'd genuinely like to understand why you want them removed. if you have time, could you add more detail?

[edit] Thanks
Hey, thanks for your support for the Tim Lynch article! You've worked on it before I even knew it existed, and I don't think it would be doing as well without you involved. I honestly think Lynch is notable enough for a wikipedia article, and based on an interview I had with him for a school newspaper, he is quite a remarkable guy. The editor who wants to see the article removed seems extremely biased, and downright malicious at times, it's a shame some people on Wiki have come to that! Anyway I just wanted to say thanks! Flypanam 03:19, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tim Lynch
What's wrong with the material on the novel character named after him, and the clarification that the characters from the movie and DS9 episode were not? I'd like to hear your POV on this. Nightscream 06:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I asked you the above question almost a week ago, and you never responded, yet now you're again deleting info from the article. Why is this? In what way does any of that info violate NPOV? Nightscream 17:26, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dragon Ball movies
FUNimation's dubs aren't the only english dubs. "Bridge Entertainment" has also released english dubs of the movies & they have their own titles as well. Does that mean that the pages could be named after Bridge Entertainment's titles (Example: "Dead Zone" would be "The Pursuit of Garlic"). The reason I used the translations of the original titles was because that way it would be more universal.Linkdude20002001 10:01, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Harry Whittington
Hey. You removed [[Category:People shot by standing Vice Presidents]] from Harry Whittington with the edit summary "removing contradicted info on his religion, see Talk".

[edit] Zen Kyo Shin
I was planning to put Zen Kyo Shin up for AfD, but I noticed that you had previously nommed it and then removed it. I don't see why it shouldn't be deleted. What was you reasoning? - Nat Krause(Talk!) 23:11, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- My reason for wanting to nom it is not really that it's not significant, exactly. The problem is that it reads like bad historical fiction. The author doesn't seem to be able to make up plausible Chinese names nor does he know very much about the history of Chinese Zen. There's nothing to indicate that this is other than a work of fiction. Since it doesn't say anything else about Zen Kyo Shin other than this fictional history, I don't see any reason to leave the article in Wikipedia. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 04:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification, Joe. Frankly, I don't have an opinion as to whether the AfD should be closed under "keep" or "withdraw". While the clear consensus was indeed "keep", the nominator withdrew the AfD before five days was over. And if I'm not mistaken, the article can still be taken to AfD again either way.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:The Broadway Melody Poster.gif)
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:The Broadway Melody Poster.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. meco 02:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] First female cabinet member?
Your user page is the second Google hit for "site:en.wikipedia.org female cabinet united states", so I think it's worth getting this right. Was Frances Perkins not the first female Cabinet member? The current Anne Armstrong article only says Armstrong was Counselor to the President. Please consider looking into this and repairing your user page or the Perkins/Armstrong articles. Thanks, k.lee 18:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I need to review my source for that article, but Perkins was the first full cabinet member, yes. But other positions, such as Counselor to the President can have "cabinet rank", which is what Armstrong refers to. Or, so I recall from my research. JRP 06:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Dragon Ball Canon" article
As far as I know, there are no official sources that go on to state what is "canon" and what isn't in the manga. obviously, fans have developed their own sense of what is and isn't over the years, which largely falls along the lines of "manga" vs. "anime and everything else;" Unfortunately, I don't know of anything you could really point to that actually spells everything out. Sorry I can't be of any more help...
[edit] Bureau of Insular Affairs
I just created Bureau of Insular Affairs, an article about the former agency that administered Puerto Rico and the Philippines from the 1900's through the 1930's. (Tomorrow or over the weekend I hope to create Bureau of Territorial Affairs which was the next successor to that agency.) I noticed that you had just the other day created a redirect from Bureau of Insular Affairs to Office of Insular Affairs, so I thought you might be interested to take a look at what I've written and please feel free to expand and improve.

Besides, I'm not the one who originally closed the survey. It was another Wikipedian.

If you want to work to improve the article even further, the New York Public Library catalog lists two books on Magoon: Gustavo A. Mellander & Nelly Maldonado Mellander, Charles Edward Magoon: Panama Years (Rio Piedras, P.R.: Editorial Plaza Mayor, 1989, 115 pp.), and David A.

[edit] Harvard Extension School
Hi Jrp, I saw this article this morning and it read quite a bit like an advertisement so I edited out some of the fluff and it seemed some anon users had changed the GPA requirement that doesn't seem to match what is on the admissions website. I also removed claims that don't seem to be cited by independent sources and didn't really add to the encyclopedic nature of the article. Instead, it seemed as if the article was one giant plea to be considered the same as every other program at Harvard. While I don't doubt that the program is challenging, I would like to see some balance brought to the article and I noticed your previous work on it. The lead was completely to large, filled with fluff, advertising material and seemed to be at odds with WP:LEAD. Do you care to take another look at it? Thanks, --Ave Caesar (talk) 21:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Peter Wall
Hi. I've responded to your comments at FAC. I should say that I recognize that this article isn't like most such articles on WP. But I do think there are good justifications for trying to do things slightly differently. Perhaps some of our differences rest on diverse interpretations of the word "maverick"? Meanwhile, I think that my comments to Carcharoth also try to address points you've made. In this light, I've also done a thorough revision of the lead, to better reflect what the article is actually setting out to do. Any further comments you had would be most welcome. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: Tilley
Thanks for the update. I will be interested to see if you come up with anything about the "master" rank since naval history is an interest of mine. --Laser brain (talk) 23:32, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- See an example here: seems to be a rank used during and after the Civil War.[2] Trying to get a date on when they switched it. JRP (talk) 01:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] HES not Ivy League?
Ok, there are no good references calling HES ivy League? I understand that you meant that its not traditionally an ivy league institution but then again its not going for that. All it is is a continuing education program administered through an Ivy League institution. This is where I believe that HES suffers from a social stigma rather than a legal stigma. Most of the amnetities affored to College and GSAS students are given to ES students and they all earn the same accredited degree from the same University. Yet, no matter how much this is made known, the social stigma of it being cont. ed. will always hinder it from being seen for what it is. No other non-traditional program has this much of a stigma and pretty much ALL of the major Top 20 institutions have cont.ed programs. The program was never meant to be seen as equals with the College, by all mean, no. But it was never supposed to be a reject school on the other side of the Charles with little to no affiliation with the rest of the university. The school is very integrated, and offers more then what is made known by detractors. You should help the article as much as possible by eliminating false notions that its not what it says it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Firstinline2009 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- First, this discussion should be on the article talk page, not on user talk pages. Secondly, Ivy League has nothing to do with academics or the quality thereof. The term references a specific athletic conference comprising eight schools - the only schools that rightfully hold the title, "Ivy League." --Ave Caesar (talk) 23:20, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
