Now I understand why you have time to edit so many articles -- first they scare you to death (1L), then they work you to death (2L), then they bore you to death (3L). Morton devonshire 00:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will indeed attempt to clean this one up a bit; I haven't forgotten about our Supreme Court of Norfolk Island article, either, and I'm hoping to tackle each this weekend. Why not tomorrow, Joe? You don't work, you don't go to school, what could possibly take up your days? Well, Judge Judy, Divorce Court, The People's Court, Judge Joe Brown, Moral Court, and Judge Alex don't air on the weekends but are on each weekday (sometimes twice). You do the math... :) Joe 05:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sticks db

[edit]

Sorry in advance for the lengthy email...

Not exactly. If you look at the page List of martial arts and find "bakbakan" it does not know to link to "bakbakan international" although they are one and the same. Technically, the organization has "international" in it's title, though is sometimes simply referred to as "bakbakan". Also, if you type "bakbakan" in the search bar, it does not know to offer the "bakbakan international" page.

I've noticed a similar issue with Lameco Eskrima, for example on the Dog_Brothers wiki, they mention "Lameco" - while an appropriate name for the style, it is not the full formal name "Lameco Eskrima" - and since it does not match the wiki, it will not properly link there.

Aside from going to all of these sites and changing the links to match names for the wikis, I was hoping there was some way to embed additional (hidden) names in the code for the wiki pages I create. Sort of like the old REM statements, that would catch searches or links for "Lameco" and direct them over to Lameco Eskrima. Does any of this make sense?

Sorry, forgot to sign my last message. Sticks db 14:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks for your help! I'll take a closer look at WP:MOS. Sticks db 15:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help I'm blocked!!

[edit]

Hi, thanks for showing up!

I've never edited a page before, and the first page I try it says I am blocked. The weird thing is it only says I'm blocked from the discussion page, not editing the article. But I would like to see the discussion to see what other peole have written.

It says Sango 123 blocked me for vandalism, but I didn't do any editing yet! I'm not a vandal! Kaley c 01:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to edit the Jean Marsh page, but now it's allowing me to view it. Do you know why I was blocked for no reason? Kaley c 02:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing, sorry about that whole...me being...something thing... Yanksox 03:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC) Well, I guess we tickled each other's ego. :P Yanksox 03:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But seriously, it's pretty funny, I used to always visit Wiki just to gather information and just more general knowledge. I joined late November and didn't do much in until Feburary, I know I encountered you in an argument, but I want to show my appreciation for all that you have showed me and taught me about Wiki. Of course, this sucks away at my life and my blah summer job, but it's worth it. Thanks! Yanksox 03:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm entering College, I work as a staff member at a day camp. I also try to get films made when people aren't busy. Well, my first encounter with you involved This guy, then we engaged a little over Michael Axlerod. Yanksox 03:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here, I feel bad for that kid, though, he dropped out of school because his life was so miserable. Though, I really have to question why he filmed himself doing that. Yanksox 04:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabeth Macarthur

[edit]

Not eligible for speedy deletion - please check what links here before you delete in future and you would have found out a bit more about this referenced article and the notability of its subject.--A Y Arktos\talk 04:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC) The barest modicum of research would have revealed to you that she gets her own entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography [4] - which is a scholarly work produced by the Australian National University and the University of Melbourne. She is also the sole subject of at least three books [5]. I think meets criteria for notability you put forward on AWNB as "the subject of individual scholarly works"--A Y Arktos\talk 06:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was previously unaware that you were a candidate for RfA. I have opposed your nomination and tried to explain why. Although my vote is unlikely to make a difference, I hope that I have expressed my concerns clearly. Any further questions, feel free to ask. (And no I don't believe DRV is appropriate for this case - see my version of the story with particular reference to the policies around deletion of vantity articles for reason why - it was properly disputed by an otherwise non-involved editor and allowing time for {{hang on}} would have solved a lot of stress.)

Re:Welcome

[edit]

Thanks Crzrussian, though I'm not really new to Wikipaedia. I've started a few other entries, and edited numerous more, though I can't for the life of me figure out why they're not listed in my contributions - maybe there's a time limit on them? *shrug* AngelThane 23:14, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Ah no, you misunderstand, I meant a timelimit not in the sense of lag time, but auto-deletion after a certain period of time. I can't remember all of them, but off the top of my head Igor_Ryjenkov and Product_Consultant were two of them. *shrug* doesn't really make much difference anyhow, I don't imagine. I'm not in it for fame and/or fortune. ;) AngelThane 23:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why so I did. Doeth! I'm not quite sure how that managed to happen. Methinks that Angel_Thane would work better; less confusion about words that way. Yes, I'd appreciate having the contributions merged. Thanks. Angel Thane 23:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, what is the substring you added to Eli Cohen suppose to do? I dont see any different in my browser. Is it helping users that dont see hebrew font? if so how? Thanks --TheYmode 00:26, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So is it preferred to use this: ([[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: name) and not this: ({{lang-he|name}})  ?
I read WP:SUBST, I think i got the general idea, so as ([[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: name) is not a template (correct?) it "solve" the problem right?

LogMeIn Deleted?

[edit]

Before amending the LogMeIn post I made the following comment: "Probably the trigger for speedy deletion is the word "free". However, the most popular version of LogMeIn is a product called LogMeIn Free. It is an important part of the definition." I revised the post accordingly.

Wikipedia provides useful definitions of many terms. Revising terms is much more helpful for everyone than deleting them. Thank you for your help and understanding. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TwoTone22 (talkcontribs) .

Strange policing

[edit]

How could you vote to remove a free product like LogMeIn and leave a paid product like GoToMyPC?

Crzrussian nominates LogMeIn to be deleted

[edit]

Crzrussian nominates and votes LogMeIn to be deleted; but he doesn't respond to enquiries about why he has not nominated GoToMyPC to be removed. LogMeIn is essentially the same thing as GoToMyPC but is free. Any attempt to have a very uncommercial definition of LogMeIn is struck down with "this term has been submitted in the past and is not allowed to be listed". Yet GoToMyPC doesn't get challenged. I really value Wikipedia and fear for its future with these inconsistent policies. I just hope this isn't a "sponsorship" thing - if it is, GoToMyPC should be clearly marked as "advertisement".

RfA

[edit]

Well, I was going to nominate you, but you failed to tag GoToMyPC for deletion; clearly, this must be part of some Jewish conspiracy. As to the article, I really will get on that; I undertook to fix a few chess-related articles yesterday and spent more time than I'd intended. In any case, you may check out Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Crzrussian at your leisure. Be forewarned, though, that my nom is a bit wordier than most (although not unnecessarily), but I think it's sufficiently clear as to be a good one. Of course, if you think the length is likely to deter readers, I can redact some. I'm not certain if Yanksox wants to be a co-nominator (such co-nomination would be altogether fine, except that the nom section would become a bit long); if he doesn't, I'll move his comment to the first support vote. Finally, if you think my nom is altogether too wordy and would prefer to go with his, I'd be fine with that as well. Drop me a line when you've a chance and we'll go from there... Joe 21:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Harsh

[edit]

Joe, that's something that is not even funny to joke about. Someone might think you are serious. I would not attack Crzrussian personally. I am just trying to have a rational discussion about the policies on Wikipedia. In fact, I admire the time he (and apparently you) donate to monitoring the definitions. I have a strong connection with Russians - I married to one and spend a lot of time in Russia - so the last thing I am going to do is get personal. But I do think Wikipedia should have a clear policy about definitions for commercial products and enforce them evenly. To block a term because it was submitted in the past doesn't make a lot of sense - unless all terms of that nature are blocked. LogMeIn is a free product used by millions of people. To block LogMeIn permanently and allow a commercial competitor to be listed looks bad for Wikipedia. I think it is worth discussing. TwoTone22 21:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Newark Express

[edit]

It wasn't my reaction. My reaction was to cut and paste the info from the players and to put them on the Newark Express page. I thought the other pages would just be deleted if they were blank. I didn't have more info on the players so I just moved them to the Express page under 2005-2006 roster. I was deleting everything because I thought it would delete the pages. I was going to add the deletion things back if not because I obviously wanted them to be deleted, but I saw you already reverted back. —The preceding unsigned -Agc7528

Co-nom

[edit]

I am going to withdraw my co-nom. Yanksox 02:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC) I already did, besides, Joe's nom is just amazing. Yanksox 02:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, I think my name being up there would be a potential hinderance towards the process. Yanksox 02:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Made the requisite change (although your fondness for truthtelling is disconcerting). If you indicate acceptance of the nom, I will format the time and list it at RfA, in order that the skewering outpouring of support may begin... :) Joe 04:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting follow up

[edit]

Hi...I have noted a lot of good work on reverting vandalism and thank you for your efforts to improve and protect our project. I did have one request/concern...I note that you have a few reverts without notifying vandals of the errors in their ways (such as with a "test 1," "test 2," and so forth). Here are a few examples [6], [7]. I am sure they were oversights, but I never know what to do when I run into this situation. Is it appropriate to "test 1" someone that has been reverted by another editor? On another note, I also note that you make it a regular policy to welcome new editors into the project. I really appreciate this practice and thank you for that. Respectfully from a fellow RC Patroller, Kukini 04:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you kindly for the explanation. Best wishes, Kukini 05:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, again, maybe I'm having a guilt trip or maybe I had too much Diet Dr. Sweepes (How do you spell that name?), but I want to just put forth my apologies in advance for tinkering around with what I shouldn't have placed my hands on. I know it seems unwarranted, and I'll probably regret this in the morning this after noon. But, eh what the hell, thanks for teaching me so much bloody crap and I hope the RfA's pattern keeps going. Yanksox 06:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You know when you put for instance [[de:zug]] on a page on trains, this will add a link to a page on another language Wikipedia on the same subject. What I was wondering is: Is it possible to make a link of the sort for an ordinary link instead of having to write, for instance [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/zug]'

Thanks, Jean-Paul 07:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Thanks for your response. If you get a moment, I ask that you please enter gotomypc, logmein into www.google.com/trends . You will see that LogMeIn is substantially more popular than GoToMyPC. In an average day, twice as many people search Google for LogMeIn compared to GoToMyPC. Again, the primary difference being that LogMeIn is a free product. I won't bother you about this anymore, I just ask that you please nominate GoToMyPC for removal - or accept LogMeIn for addition. Thanks.

Hey

[edit]

Hey, I'm just asking you for your help. I'm just curious what your feelings about this article are. Yanksox 13:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought about my vote a while. At first, as soon as I just wanted to just go in and vote support, because I truly enjoyed editing with you. Then I made the mistake of reading the oppose - and noticed there does seem to be a pattern of occasional unfortunate actions. Then I thought - what the heck, adminship doesn't require perfection, as JzG so often writes, it's "no big deal", and you are so active that 98% of the things you do are correct, and the other 2% are wrong, but the community can make up for them, and you take that in stride, and in the end, editing with you is a pleasure.

I recently came across an article on Snapfish. I curretly use a small company that has a similar service. I tried posting an article about, but it keeps getting deleted as an "advertisement". It it no more an advertisement than the Snapfish article.

Why does my article keep getting automatically deleted?

Jgreen6 04:35, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote in the history of the article "does it matter that it's his own copyvio? I don't think so...".

Well, I do think so, the idea behind speedy deletion for copyright violation is to deal with copyright violation by removing the evidence, so to speak, however, if he is the author of the website from which this was extracted, then there is simply no violation of copyright, he agrees to the licencing. No reason not to assume good faith here either. I suggested he licences the content of his web site under GFDL, which he seems to agree with, which will remove any possible doubt. Equendil Talk 04:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Hey Crzrussian I wanted to introduce my self I am the author of the backgammon chouette article and wanted to thank you for bringing all this information to my attention about copyvio and various other wikipedia fact that I needed to learn before answering to any of you guys.

Well after listening to Equendil Talk and asking him a fair few questions I made some amendments to the site which now includes the GNU Free Documentation License.

As far as it being a game manual that is also not a valid point, a chouette form of backgammon which is played socially, and the explanation tries to show what is it all about. You might also be able to debate weather any explanation of a game is a manual for it as well, well ofcourse you have history and important people but you will still have to explain how to play the game in order to make it interesting for the user. As well as you have to assume that a person, whose looking for backgammon or chouettes on wikipedia, might want to learn what is the term as well as get a general idea of how backgammon is played by reading rules and game forms of play.

I hope I conveyed my thoughts in trying to explain why this article is important for wikipedia and that the simple and short explanation on the backgammon article is not enough for someone who is trying to really figure out what is the chouette is all about.

Hey, how did these people get away with it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_Club_at_MIT. Is it possible to put a wiki page about a club without getting it taken down?

Is Azykh Cave considered controversial to the religious community?

[edit]

Hello, Crzrussian. I just tried to submit and save an article entitled, "Azykh Cave". It is already deleted because of the copyright violation. It is all right with me, because I am a beginner. I should write properly before submitting. I am wondering if Azykh Cave should not be added to Wikipedia. Probably it is something political about this cave. I know nothing about it until yesterday. I just tried to add it for education purpose. I am sure that you are an expert on this religous matter. Thanks. --Rdyrchrdsn 16:55, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, please remove all contributions I have made. Please though do not quote back to me that I have no rights on the material I used - on that you are 100% incorrect.

Another user has drawn my attention to the other rule regarding posting about yourself. Ok, so you also don't want factual information from the horses mouth. That is your and the readership of Wikipedias loss, not mine. I presume I have the right to monitor what IS written about an organisation of which I am a member? It otherwise seems a bunch of strangers who have no knowledge or connection with the subject have set themsleves up as police in this matter. No very healthy for ensuring accuracy! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Woolera (talkcontribs) .

A tiny information about Azykh Cave (Reply)

[edit]

I am not only talking about Judaism, but also Islam and Christianity - all three in one. Azykh Cave is located in Fizuli district in the Republic of Azerbaijan. Seems like Azykh Cave is becoming a battleground of creationism and evolutionism. It is apparently a hot archaeological site. Many animal fossils, human bone, and first human statues were found there. There were some scientists from Armenia who tried to falsify the history of the Azykh campus (http://www.azerbaijan.az/_History/_Ancient/ancient_02_e.html) . Isn't Armenia a place where Adam and Eve lived - Garden of Eden? This information is from Wikipedia. Azykh Cave is probably known as "Azokh Cave" in Armenia. You can get more information about this cave by using Yahoo! or Google Search. I am not a religious person, although. --Rdyrchrdsn 17:55, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the {{db-group}} tag from the above article, as I disagree with the criteria. Feel free to {{AfD}} if you feel it appropriate. Isopropyl 18:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles can be speedy deleted for copyright violations if they meet a set of requirements. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion (A7). As this and the other deletion reason was disputed (with good reason) then I removed the speedy tag. It can still be taken to Wikipedia:Copyright problems (that page also has more info about author's releasing their own work), or articles for deletion. Does that answer your question?

Yeh, don't really know... sorry. Copyright issues aren't exactly my speciality (unfortunately that's also true for a lot of admins). You could try asking on the talk pages of the links I gave you above, as you've got more chance of finding someone there who does! I just removed the speedy, as there being enough grounds to argue the case for it being kept, I'm not saying that it shouldn't be considered for deletion (just not speedy deleted).
