User talk:Willy turner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Willy turner may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. --W.marsh 23:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I just moved it to your user page, at User:Willy turner. Biographies in the main article space need to comply with the WP:BIO guideline, while on your user page you can basically write about yourself however you want. So there's no problem with what you wrote, you just put it in slightly the wrong place, so I fixed it. --W.marsh 23:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
It's somewhat of a complicated issue, but most people feel that Wikipedia is only for writing about topics that have been covered somewhere else, e.g. in newspaper articles, books, etc. Otherwise there's really no way for us to realistically check whether what you're writing about is true. See WP:BIO, that defines what biographical articles are about on Wikipedia. The idea that you can write about absolutely anything is not really correct, sorry. --W.marsh 23:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

You have recently re-created the article Gape shot. This was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not re-create the article: if you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a review at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

[edit] Population of Isiro, DRC

Willy, I saw that you added the information that Isiro (in Democratic Republic of Congo) has a population of 81,000. Could you add a reference to the article showing where you got this information? Or tell me and I'll add it. Thanks. Dblomgren 05:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adygea

Hi! I had to revert your edit to Adygea (formatting the population number in the infobox) because this number is used further down to calculate population density. Formatted numbers cause the density calculation to error out.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 02:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Südweststadion

Hi Willy turner. First: Sorry for my bad English! Now my quastion: Why you remoted Südweststadion from this list? There is definite a capacity of 41,383. Look just on the homepage of the city Ludwigshafen. "Fassungsvermögen" means "capacity". In the stadium plays FSV Oggersheim (German Oberliga) ([1]). It wasn't just a joke, but a usefull addition. --Kuemmjen 22:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I can understand, that Olympiastadion München is remoted, because it's still unused. --Kuemmjen 22:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I added Südweststadion again. There is definite a capacity of 41,383. I asked the Club, too. --Kuemmjen 10:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Helicopters template

Good work. I made a comment in the template talk about the inclusion of the AH-1, which I think is debatable. Can you also fix the capitalisation? I amended the template, and it might be easier to transclude the template than to copy-and-paste it into the articles. --Guinnog 06:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

{{Modern Attack Helicopters}} should do it. --Guinnog 06:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I have fixed the noinclude (I'm not 100% sure why you were using it in the template to begin with) in the template. And have included the template in the helicopter articles. You might want to do the same thing for the SSBN template you are now working on. Megapixie 07:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CVN and Typhoon infoboxes

Good job adding the "currently in use" information to the various CVN and Typhoon articles. But that probably needs to be in a template, and not on each individual article like here and here. This way, any maintenance only has to be done in one spot, instead of many articles. Also, stop in over on Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history, there are probably editors there who can help with any template questions you have. Thanks for improving Wikipedia! — MrDolomite • Talk 11:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alistair McConnachie

[edit] Notability of Alistair McConnachie

A tag has been placed on Alistair McConnachie, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hi, I added it because he meets none of the other notability guidlines for inclusion in wikipedia. The other small party leaders that are included (and there are only two or three of them) are notable as a result of being elected to the Scottish Parliament or have gained notability from some other activity. If you feel that there is some notable reason to keep Mr McConnachie's article please detail them on my talk page. Ta.GiollaUidir 23:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

hi. please explain why you added notability tag to Alistair McConnachie article. There are articles on the leaders of other very small scottish political parties. Please explain why he is significantly less notable than them. thanks.

Other than nominating himself for election he has done nothing of note. Robin Harper, Tommy Sheridan and Colin Fox are leaders of small parties that have been very much in the public eye over the past 4-8years. Plus, the onus is not to show his relative notability to other politicians-the onus is to prove that he has done enough of note to deserve his own article.GiollaUidir 00:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regional power

Thanks for your note on my talk page. I put your note and my answer in article's talk page. I think its good to have discussion there so other intrested wikipedians can join too. cheersFarmanesh 03:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

In reply to comment on my talk page: Oops, sorry, missed that earlier. The only thing I can recommend would be to have the page semi-protected at WP:RPP. If someone's really dedicated to editing an article even when they've been told they're doing it wrong several times, the only ways to stop them are a civil discussion, protection, or a block. Since the discussion isn't working so well, that leaves us with the last two. Hersfold (talk/work) 21:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Willy. I just want to point out that the template "border" was created to improve the looking of certain images of white background, to help these images to be noticable different from the page background. This is the case of the Flag of Japan. Look the difference:

Without the border, the flags seems to be just a red circle, not the actual flag of Japan. That's why I added back the border template in the article regional power. Thank you. AlexCovarrubias ( Talk? ) 07:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Willy. I wasn't aware about the position problem, and it is because it doesn't affect Internet Explorer. I opened the article with Firefox and then, I was able to see what you mentioned. I'm not sure how we can fix it, but I think there's some bordered versions of the Flag of Japan. Thanks! AlexCovarrubias ( Talk? ) 00:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi again Willy. Your changes in the Brazil section were reverted by Limongi. I tried to help by reverting to your version, but he reverted again. See what I mean? They are only using boosterism practices to "talk up" Brazil. AlexCovarrubias ( Talk? ) 17:10, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

For your efforts of improving the Superpower article.

User:Daniel Chiswick 4 June, 2007.

[edit] Your American military uniform question.

You asked about U.S. Marines and soldiers wearing the American flag patch on their sleeve. U.S. Marines do not wear this patch; the only sewn-on adornments on any uniforms are name and service tapes, velcro patches for IR tags, and enlisted rank insignia on service and dress uniforms. The Army wears the flag with the stars and stripes on the upper right of the flag because the stars always are at the side of the flag touching the flagpole and, as soldiers are walking forward, it gives the flag the appearance of moving forward with them as though it were on a flagpole. Why they don't just put it on the left is beyond me, but the flag on the right shoulder is the way they've done it for longer than I've been around and is probably the way it will continue to be done for quite some time. If this did not adequately answer your question or you have any others, feel free to message me back on my talk page and I will be more than happy to answer your question or direct you to an article on Wikipedia that can.

[edit] Mearns Castle High School

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mearns Castle High School, by SteelersFan UK06 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mearns Castle High School fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

fails second sentence of WP:N - The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mearns Castle High School, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Mearns Castle High School itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Tag

The above bot contacted you regarding the speedy delete tag i placed on Mearns Castle High School. As I have since realised, I placed the incorrect tag on the article - it should have been prod'd. Please accept my appologies, you should have received this:

[edit] Mearns Castle High School

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Mearns Castle High School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. Thank You, SteelersFan UK06 02:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:40841669_livstadium_inside203.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:40841669_livstadium_inside203.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. MER-C 06:20, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Gest estadio olimpico.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gest estadio olimpico.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your addition to Alligator

Hi! I noticed you recently added a fact to Alligator, complete with a reference and everything. However, I'm not sure if its a very useful statement. What size of alligator has this bite force? What size of truck falling how far down a cliff is the bite force being compared to? Does the alligator have the entire force of a falling truck in one square inch of its bite? Does your average truck have the same force per square inch as an average alligator bite? As you can see, the statement you added to the article isn't very specific. Please improve it using the source you got it from, or remove the fact. Alligator needs a lot of work, though, so if you're interested in contributing to the article, please continue to do so!

Hi, You recently removed Strahov Stadium from the List of Stadia, due to its apparent disuse. After viewing the main page for this stadium, it is not clear that the stadium is no longer in use.

[edit] Chechen War is a part of War on Terror!

George W. Bush said so, when he called Russia "America's partner" in the War on Terror! And are you implying Basaev's henchmen are not terrorists?

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be extremely low:

Edit summary usage for Willy turner: 15% for major edits and 80% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 5 minor edits in the article namespace.

Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 11:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 199.60.112.15

Thank you for making a report about 199.60.112.15 (talk · contribs · block log) at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. TigerShark 20:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italy/Regional Power link

http://www.carabinieri.it/Internet/Editoria/Rassegna+Arma/2001/3/Studi/02_De_Marchi.htm

Besides this link, I think Italy should be included as a Regional Power, based on the definition itself and by comparing it with other lesser powers that are considered Regional. Italy is part of the Contact Group for Kososvo, along France, USA, UK, Russia and Germany. It has regional influence in the balkans, note that Greece or Turkey are not on this group and are close to Kosovo too. If it wasn't a reginal power, Italy wouldn't be included.
Italy is also founder member of Central Europe Initiative and leader of that group. It has considerable influence in countries like Poland, which is closer to Germany, even in germanic Austria, Italy has great influence. Slovenian Air defence is done by Italy, Russia's third biggest partner is Italy, and so on.... It isn't a Regional Power?

[edit] Alistair McConnachie

A Proposed Deletion template has been added to the article Alistair McConnachie, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. Oo7565 20:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Olympic Stadium Wroclaw.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Olympic Stadium Wroclaw.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/United Nations Parliamentary Assembly

Hello, I have created an article about the UN Parliamentary Assembly, a proposed world body that would be similar to Europarl. Please review and vote on the WP:FAC nomination. Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 01:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Direct democracy userbox

I haven't edited it, because it's in your own userspace and I could be wrong, but I assume that the Direct democracy userbox links to the wrong article. Direct Democracy is a group within the Conservative Party, whereas direct democracy is the concept of policy-specific mandates granted by means of referenda, etc. Bastin 14:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julius Gius

I just went a removed a ton of cruft from the article then wikified and cleaned what was left. I'm pretty sure it passes WP:N now, assuming that the references are reliable. Just thought you might wanna' take a look at it now. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 100,000 seat sporting venues

I remember you started a bunch of articles on the capacities of all the stadiums. I've started a similar list, but have expanded it to all sporting venues, including motor racing and horse racing. The list is currently in my sandbox here. Can you take a look at it to see if I am missing any stadiums or anything else? Thanks. Patken4 (talk) 21:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV-pushers reported for checkuser

Hi there, I have noticed that a lot of our POV-pushing friends are almost identical to one another, so I have reported them for checkuser here. Let me know if you know any more users that could be added to that request.--Sir Anon (talk) 11:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Well that didn't prove anything, but now there is another issue of User:Top Gun being back and he does not seem to understand WP:V, from my previous interaction with him I have little hope of a fruitful discussion. So if he still persists and we're getting nowhere I plan to file a case with WP:MEDCAB, as I have not carefully looked through the rest of this poor excuse of an article it would be great if you could participate.--Sir Anon (talk) 10:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:B stadium 03.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:B stadium 03.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
