Mammals
You may be interested in this collaboration project. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah, I check WP:MAM every now and then... I just never got around to putting my name on the list! Anaxial (talk) 18:48, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Panthera crassidens
Hi Anaxial, You made a good edit on Panthera crassidens. Thank you. Have some detailed information about this? I have no access to that paper.--Altaileopard (talk) 11:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I only vaguely remember typing that, but I think that I found the paper online - although I can't find it now (or at least not in a form I can access). Judging from the small amount I wrote, I suspect that I only found the abstract. Anaxial (talk) 16:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Skunks
Hi. I see you recently removed some info from Skunk. I agree with you about NOTGUIDE, however we also have Ignore all rules for cases when we think we should make an exception. I'm personally not certain whether that info should be in the article or not. Therefore, I posted a note at Talk:Skunk to see if anyone else has any comments on this. Thanks. -- 201.17.36.246 (talk) 23:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for alerting me. I've posted as to why I don't believe this should be an exception at the Talk page. Anaxial (talk) 17:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Request reference for controversy re: bat phylogeny
Hello Anaxial. Noticed your request for a reference to the effect that the debate about the relative merits of the DNA versus morphological (versus protein sequence, versus physiological, etc.) in the "Bat" page. Not sure I follow you. This fact is to me self-evident in that studies supporting the monophyletic and diphyletic theories continue to be published in the scientific literature, and even in the dynamic state of the DNA literature. Ideally one would need a major, balanced review article to refer to here. In practice this seems to be a field where people are polarised and quite defensive of their techniques, so I am unaware of any "unbiased" study. Do you have any suggestions, other than to refer to the "Flying Primates Theory" and "DNA" pages?Fluminense (talk) 22:23, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I think all it needs is a recent cite that disagrees with the earlier statement; as you say, that will show that competing theories are still being published. Anaxial (talk) 16:51, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Birdies
Hey, I've been watching your various contributions, and I'm wondering if you'd like to join The bird wikiproject? I am a particular fan of anyone that works on family articles! Sabine's Sunbird  talk  08:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm really just passing through. I felt that the family pages could need a little care and attention, but I've focussed mainly on mammals, where I have more information available. Anaxial (talk) 19:58, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Tropidophiidae etc.
Sorry for reverting your recent edits to a number of snake articles, but you were deleting information and altering a format common to some 500 or more snake articles. I admit that the articles you were busy with are somewhat short, but a better example of what it looks like when it's filled in properly would be something like Agkistrodon piscivorus. Cheers, --Jwinius (talk) 14:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I wasn't intentionally deleting anything (bar some repetition and empty spaces), so apologies for that. Anaxial (talk) 21:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Age of Primates

Eutheria
Hi, thanks for your interest in Eutheria. I've over-written your edit with a cynodont-mammal phylogeny in bullet list form, as that requires a lot less width. I think I've done all I can with the article except a lead, which will take only 5 minutes. The greatest remaining weakness is eutherian synapomorphies - most of the others are in jaws and teeth, but Ji, Luo, Yuan et al (2002) are not specific about these and I'm no paleo-dentist. -- Philcha (talk) 21:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the bullet list seems to work better. Still not ideal, but I'm not sure how to improve it. Anaxial (talk) 21:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the 2 diagrams say all there is to say about the evolutionary history at present. Some day there may be more - most probably as a result of further discoveries in China - and then a right-floated proper cladogram would work. -- Philcha (talk) 21:46, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was referring to the page format. But, like I say, I don't have a better suggestion.Anaxial (talk) 22:06, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Straw Poll

Change article name to plural?
I checked a couple of other pages with multiple types of animals and they all listed the subject in the taxobox as singular. I changed the pural because it seemed silly to picture one skunk and say the box described more than one. If you think it's correct, fine with me, I'm no expert, it just sounded odd. Maybe the page name should be changed to plural as well? Maybe some other editor knows format for sure. Thanks Bob98133 (talk) 15:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The particular pages that I'd checked with before writing that were Great ape, Primate, and Armadillo. On checking, I can now see some that use the singular, as you suggest (Mongoose, for example), although it does appear that usage of the plural is more common. It seems to me, though, that the taxobox describes the group, which includes multiple types of skunk, and isn't a caption for the picture underneath. (Obviously, this wouldn't make sense if we were talking about a species - there is only one species of Lion, so the taxobox header should obviously be singular there). I don't think the page name should be changed, though - that always seems to be singular. Anaxial (talk) 18:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

felidae edit
hi. i understand why you undid my edit, but i am somewhat in confusion about the matter... the split seems to be fairly split on articles either one way or the other about the subfamily of the marbled cat... is there a definitive article that decides it one way or the other? and if there is some confusion, is it right that it should be listed as anything?

specifically, i found a protein database suggests that they belong to pantherinae... http://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/61409 Ivo herries (talk) 21:01, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Jaguar reading
nice reading. There is a minor technical problem: a kind of squeaky crosstalk audible as background noise. It might be an artifact of some electronic effect such as compression. You might want to look into that. Regards, Leotohill (talk) 02:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Review of Spoken Article, Jaguar
Hi Anaxial, I've just completed a review of the recording you uploaded of Jaguar. You'll find the review here, on the discussion page of the file. Thank you for the recording, it's a great addition to the Project and to the article, :-) I hope you're happy with the review and in agreement with it, but if there are any problems, please let me know and we can discuss or re-review if necessary.

I see that you've added a notice to the Jaguar talk page to say that you're currently working on the recording, but as it is completed, uploaded, and reviewed, you may like to change the notice to.

Again, let me know if there are any problems or if you have questions, and thanks for the good work! Maedin \talk 13:52, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * No problems with that review; it's actually rather more generous than I had expected for my first effort. For future recordings, I think I have fixed the background noise, which should also help with the volume issue. As for the US pronunciation of 'jaguar' - I simply had no idea, and so should obviously have paid more attention to the IPA provided in the article!


 * The one part I am unclear about though, is the missing introduction... what exactly is missing here? Whatever it is, I'm fairly sure I must have missed it out with Cougar as well, so it would be useful to know so that I include it next time!


 * Overall, though, thanks - useful advice for making future improvements.Anaxial (talk) 14:08, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The introduction is to make the listener aware of the name of the article, where it can be found, and the identity of the reader. It isn't necessary, but it may be of use to listeners, perhaps those who have downloaded several recordings at once, for mobile listening.  The other reason the introduction may be of use is because the actual title of the article isn't always the same as the article beginning, whether that's because of parenthetical disambiguation or something else, but I realise that's not an issue with jaguar!  If you read the date, as well, it acts as a sort of "disclaimer" that the recording isn't necessarily up-to-date.  The reader generally begins with: "This is a recording of an article on Wikipedia and was recorded by user Anaxial.  The material recorded is current as of the October 25, 2008 revision of the article."   "Jaguar, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia, at en dot wikipedia dot org."  ...


 * I'm glad that you're ok with the review; I certainly enjoyed listening to your recording. Besides, the jaguar is such a lovely beast!   Maedin \talk 16:13, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Friendly note regarding talk page messages
Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:75.108.73.219, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 00:27, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ooops, never mind! I just saw that you reverted yourself .  Good work!  --Kralizec! (talk) 00:30, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Anthracotheriidae
Hi. You look to be more knowledgeable about this than me. I would appreciate it if you looked at the comment I left on the above article's talk page, concerning the possible evolutionary relationships between anthracotheres, hippos, pigs and whales. Robin S (talk) 21:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Hutia Edit
Thank you for recognizing that my edit on the Hutia page was "good faith." When I visited the page, there was a slew of red text, as though the conversion tags had gone insane. Glad they are working now, and thank you again. Grumpy otter (talk) 20:47, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Templates and tags
Hi Anaxial,

You're adding a lot of templates and tags to dinosaur articles. Are you planning to clear these up yourself, or were you expecting WP:DINO editors to do the sourcing? I ask because the number of articles you're tagging is quite large, while the number of active editors on the project is quite small. Since you obviously care about sourcing in Wikipedia's dinosaur articles, I thought I'd invite you to add sources as you go along. Feel free, as well, to add yourself to the list of participants here. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester  15:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I will certainly add sources where I can find them, but I don't have everything to hand right now. But, while its obviously better to fix something than just tag it, I do think it's better to tag something than to ignore it altogether. I'm not trying to bomb the articles with individual tags, but, if an article has no refs at all, I believe that's worth mentioning - and somebody presumably has the source already, or they couldn't have written it. So, yes, I will fix what I can, but that may not always be immediate, and I see no reason not to tag something in the meantime. Unless there's some WP policy I'm missing here - in which case, mea culpa. Anaxial (talk) 17:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, you're not missing any WP policy that I'm aware of. I am only concerned about the tendency for maintenance tags to build up on articles with no subsequent improvement. The author who re-wrote most of the ankylosaurid articles, User:Sheep81, is no longer active, meaning he probably will not be adding sources to those articles, despite his having authored several FAs. I have quite a few reference works in PDF format (which you are welcome to), but adding in-line citations in takes much longer than tagging. Firsfron of Ronchester  17:22, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, I've replied to your comment here. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:08, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Date_formatting_and_linking_poll/Autoformatting_responses
Regarding your comment in opposition to date autoformatting, I'd like to point out that discussions on a replacement system included the requirement that dates be formatting for anonymous/unregistered users as well as logged-in users. Due to some issues about how Wikipedia's servers are set up, the only actively supported approach was to allow both site-wide and per-article default formats that anonymous users would see (rather than the ideal of allowing everyone to set individual preferences) but nonetheless, date autoformatting can be made to work for everybody in that sense. --Sapphic (talk) 00:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

What did you mean by "try that again.."? tedder (talk) 23:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So you were repeating "Removing Talk:Smiley face murders#Theory by Mike Flaherty - at least 6 people already involved)"? I'm still a little confused on your intent and if it had to do with the Smiley face murders or with my 3O. (replying here is fine, easier to thread message that way) tedder (talk) 18:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking at the edit history, it looks as if the edit I was "repeating" actually never registered at all, for some reason - I thought I had mistyped it, but, in fact, nothing happened. So: I had removed the AGV Sports Group request, since it appears to already be the subject of an RfC, and thus not suitable for a 3O. The lack of clarity is entirely my own fault, so sorry about that. Anaxial (talk) 18:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, got it. Yep, it's the subject of an RfC, so I'll remove it (since I re-added it). Thanks. tedder (talk) 19:11, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Elephant Shrew
What changes can be made to the elephant shrew article so it does not seem like a personal essay? Since the topic is evolution, it is a theory and has a journal referenced which did a study on the proposed evolution. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks! "Jfluckey (talk) 20:47, 2 May 2009 (UTC)"


 * It's just the style of the entry, not the factual information presented. It says things like "one can conclude...", and asks rhetorical questions like "so where does the elephant shrew fit...?" These make it seem like a personal reflection. Statements like "the results were shocking!" need to say exactly who was shocked (ideally, including their names), in which publication they used the word "shocked" to describe their reaction and so on, rather than making a bald statement. Plus, the fact that these specific people were shocked has to be notable, of course. And so on. It's not that the facts in this section don't belong here, of course, but they could be presented in a more neutral way, without making it read like a discussion or an essay. Anaxial (talk) 21:02, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I'll try and revise it over the next few days. "Jfluckey (talk) 03:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)"

Excuse me for trespassing on your time.
I'm a student at Seoul National university doing a research on Wikipedia. My focus is on how disputes are resolved with regard to the Wikipedian policies and culture. I'm also interested in the issue of NPOV- namely, how the manner controversies are settled contribute to/affect the article's neutrality. As you would probably guess, these issues require profound understanding. Explicit things won't give much clue. What I need most is live experience and insight, and for that I'm trying to borrow wisdom from active users.

I see you are a very experienced and active user, and that you are involved in 3O. So, I thought you could provide me with much insight...Would you, by any chance, be able to give me an email interview? If you are willing to give help, please e-mail me and I'll mail you questions. Your help would mean a lot to me.

Thanks for reading.

Some new gastropod articles!
Wow, thanks for the great new articles on the gastropod digestive system and respiratory system; what a pleasant surprise! These are really excellent additions to WikiProject Gastropods. I imagine you have a lot of other interests, but we would be honored if you would like to join us at the project, so here is an invitation:

Best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 15:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I might put you on the "honorary members" list, or the "adjunct members" list or something, if you don't object. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 00:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I also wanted to say one more thing, and please do forgive me if this is not relevant, but I don't have access to the (print) reference you are using, so I can't check for myself. I just wanted to say that all prose has to be re-written in your own words from scratch, not used directly or almost directly from the sources. Sometimes this is quite hard to do, and a lot of us do make the mistake of copying stuff verbatim or almost verbatim when we are first starting out on Wikipedia, not understanding that that is unacceptable. So, as I said, please forgive me if you already know this, but I guess it doesn't hurt to make policy really clear up front. All my very best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 19:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind reply. Sorry to go on and on about the same topic, but the reason I am all over this idea is that in March we discovered a copyright problem from one editor in 1000 of our gastropod articles, which all had to have surgery as a result. It took 3 months to cut out all the unacceptable stuff, even without re-writing it.. So I just wanted to say that paraphrasing text can be a bit tricky, and it isn't enough when it is close paraphrasing. Quite often the info has to be read, understood, and then re-written from scratch. So there you go. Sorry once again if this communication is unnecessary. Very best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 23:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks for listening to me rant and rave about this and for replying politely! All very best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 18:47, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Quantum mysticism
First thank you for providing a third opinion. Based on comments at my talk page LikeBox has not changed his tune. Do you think its fair to initiate formal arbitration at this point?--OMCV (talk) 23:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, I think OMCV is jumping the gun a bit. The owner of this talk page has not given a definitive third opinion yet, just asking some questions. By the way, I think that OMCV is sincere, but wrong. Excluding the Dennett example would make the article less informative in my opinion.Likebox (talk) 02:57, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I would consider my statement of 20:15 25th August to be definitive: "this does, in my view, constitute synthesis". You're free to disagree, of course, and 3O opinions are in no way binding. Should you wish to take this further, RFC is one option short of arbitration, which is usually the very last step in dispute resolution. Anaxial (talk) 12:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I do disagree, and I explained why in the talk, but I respect your decision. I modified the page to remove the specific mechanism of copying. Is this satisfactory?Likebox (talk) 21:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There is currently something of a "vote" at Quantum mysticism regarding the text you offered a WP:3O on. It would be appreciated if you could take the time to offer a one sentence opinion.--OMCV (talk) 03:36, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
Regarding your post on Talk:Hominidae (not responding there as it'd be off-topic), let me know if there are any pages that you think should get semi-protection; I'll have a look and apply the protection if I and the policy agree. Ucucha 20:44, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Been fairly quiet of late, to be honest. Bat has been getting the most recently, but I don't know if it's enough to justify protection, or I'd have requested it myself. Thanks anyway. Anaxial (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps people are still in the Christmas spirit? You're right about bat; it gets quite a lot of vandalism for a biology article, about once per day. It's locked for three months now. Ucucha 21:56, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Sea Shepherd
I stand by my decision to change the article, as I believe it adequately represents their idealism in an unbiased way (after all, how could anyone not think they are stupid even if they support what they do). Thank you. 128.180.237.39 (talk) 21:42, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Nonetheless, that qualifies as a WP:POV statement, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. If you describe what their beliefs are, the reader will be able to determine for themselves whether or not they believe it to be stupid - it is not the purpose of Wikipedia to tell them. Anaxial (talk) 21:47, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I choose to disagree - as stupid can also be a synonym for troublesome, which, once again their direct actions cause regardless of one's point of view. I feel that the term "direct action" is biased towards them. Thank you. 128.180.237.39 (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it's very difficult to argue that "stupid" is not a loaded term, and that nobody would take it as being inherently critical.

Final discussion for Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Hello, I note that you have commented on the first phase of Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

As this RFC closes, there are two proposals being considered:
 * 1) Proposal to Close This RfC
 * 2) Alternate proposal to close this RFC: we don't need a whole new layer of bureaucracy

Your opinion on this is welcome. Okip  02:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Jillian Becker
Hi Anaxial. I hope you can remember this edit of yours. I have been trying to confirm that Jillian Becker really did go to Roedean School and not the sister school, Roedean School (South Africa), because she was living in South Africa at the time. Unfortunately, I could find nothing to confirm either of these schools as the right one. Did you find any information at the time of your edit? Coyets (talk) 20:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I am only attempting to revert vandalism, not start an edit war. The anon in question is removing text from the article for no reason. I also have requested help from the admins. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 18:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought that would be your reasoning, although I don't really agree - it doesn't look like obvious vandalism to me. (Clearly, it would be vandalism if he were asserting factual accuracy, but he could just as well be saying that its sufficiently obviously fictional that we don't need to mention that in every paragraph). Anyway, if you've already requested help from the admins, I won't go ahead with a 3RR report (on either party); they can make their own judgement and proceed from there.

Your note
There is nothing wrong with the image on Erection. What you are complaining about is the wording of the caption. I do not understand the caption to mean that both images are the same person, and there is no need for them to be the same person. The caption only tries to describe the state on the left and the state on the right. It is irrelevant that they are two individuals, and irrelevant whether the one on the right is circumcised or retracted. Instead of deleting the images, you should edit the caption. —Stephen (talk) 21:40, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * One image exists of circumcised in both a flaccid and erect state. The other, contentious, image purports to show un-circumcised in the flaccid and erect state. The un-circumcised erection is disputed, we have no evidence that the image is as it purports to be (or as in the other pairing a single unique individual). We have anecdotal evidence that such a state, an erection with no foreskin whatsoever is neither likely nor the norm. Therefore, as a challenged image with a relevant basis the image requires a supporting ref. And, hence, its removal. 99.141.241.60 (talk) 21:45, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I can barely understand your English. The image on the right is erect with no visible prepuce. That is what it is and that is what the caption attempts to say. I have no idea what you are disputing or what reference you are requesting. —Stephen (talk) 21:51, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * The image on the right, "erect with no visible prepuce" does not appear to be an un-circumcised penis. The image caption's claim to be otherwise is disputed.99.141.241.60 (talk) 21:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I still cannot understand what you are trying to say. You seem to dispute something in the caption. Please cite the particular words that you disagree with and then restate them the way you think the caption should read. —Stephen (talk) 22:04, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not arguing for a re-write. It would be the encyclopedically accurate "Image on left is a flaccid and uncircumcised penis. Image on right is an erect penis. It appears likely it is circumcised." The image is useless for our article there, and the current caption is  unsupported and disputed. Other images are available, including the Wiki commons image here earlier.99.141.241.60 (talk) 22:15, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I see you've re-written the caption. What is your basis for claiming that "the foreskin is retracted"? Whose to say any foreskin exists? How do we know it's not circumcised?99.141.241.60 (talk) 22:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * It is not about foreskins or circumcision, it is about erection. As I said before, it is irrelevant whether it is circumcised or retracted, it is only to show the state of erection. I put retracted because that, to the best of my ability, was what I believed you were attempting to say. If you don’t like the word "retracted", describe it in another way. If you have better images showing flaccid and erect states with prepuce, replace the image. The caption can be fixed or the images can be replaced. —Stephen (talk) 22:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. 99.141.241.60 (talk) 22:32, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you have to have both flaccid and erect together as in the earlier image. Otherwise it’s just a penis. —Stephen (talk) 22:46, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * "I think you have to have both flaccid and erect together as in the earlier image." We already have that in the image lower down the page, showing the states of circumcised. The image you've re-written is not a trusty source for the two states of un-circumcised, ideally we need an image that is. The one I removed just has no purpose, it's not like the other image, it's just an untrustworthy mishmash.99.141.241.60 (talk) 23:58, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I didn't warn him about vandalism, I warned him that he was getting close to the 3RR limit - which, indeed, he has since stopped short of breaking. Of course, that doesn't give him the right to vandalise the page (if indeed that's what he's doing), but you'd have to report that yourself at WP:AIV once he's had sufficient warnings about it, or at somewhere like WP:ANI if it's something other than vandalism. Better yet, engage him on the Talk page, if he's willing to discuss his edits - and I note that this does look more like some sort of dispute over sources than deliberate addition of false information on his part.

Your warning about edits to Siula Grande
Dear Anaxial,

I most humbly request you to READ before undoing edits and posting warnings on talk pages. The edit that you "undid" was an "undo" edit to revert vandalism. Just because I don't login, doesn't mean my edit is incorrect.

Here is why:

22:40, 1 November 2010 168.156.43.239 (talk) (4,457 bytes) .... The vandalism edit Which says "1936 July 28 North Ridge by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Erwin Schneider from Germany."

17:58, 4 November 2010 117.195.211.24 (talk) (4,451 bytes) (Undid revision 394263717 by 168.156.43.239 (talk))... This was my edit, which was nothing more than an undo of the last edit above

Then you undid this... so if you really think Arnold Schwarzenegger climbed the fucking mountain, then best of luck as a Wikipedia editor.

How long have you been editing? You depend on automated tools to determine if an edit was vandalism or not, and then post warnings too? This irrational discrimination against Anon posts, is what made me hang my shoes and stop logging in, long before you came to know about Wikipedia's existence.

Removing old templates
Pretty sure getting rid of tagcruft is covered in WP:PRESERVE. -- 67.98.206.2 (talk) 22:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, I believe WP:PRESERVE says the opposite; that problems should be fixed where possible, and tagged if they can't be. It doesn't say (at least by my reading) that if a problem is left unfixed for a long period of time, the tag can be removed. The issue in this case was that the maintenance tag still applied, and therefore should not have been removed without fixing the problem to which it referred. Anaxial (talk) 22:14, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Kevin Trudeau
I agree with your rejection of the phrase "con man" in the lede, but it's not unsourced. The article has many sources for convictions, jail time and civil settlements establishing Trudeau's involvement in pyramid schemes, credit card fraud, false and misleading marketing claims, and pushing junk science for financial profit.

Also, he's included in the WP list of real life con artists.

Because it's amply sourced and reported in the body of the article, and described sufficiently in the lede, I agree with your reversion on WP:BLP grounds. But I think I'd lean on WP:WEIGHT rather than WP:RS. "Con man" is reliably sourced, unless there's some nuanced distinction between "con man" and "con artist" I'm not getting.

I know I'm picking at nits. But the page needs a lot more BLP attention. I hope to avoid wikilawyering about the reliability of the sources when the real problem, even with oodles of reliable sources, is the potential for giving those sourced derogatory facts undue weight in the bio of a living person.

I'm planning to try to do some more copy-editing on the page over the next month. I expect pushback from editors like the one you just reverted. I'll welcome reality checks from other editors concerned about BLP policy. I have no corner on the wisdom market. Hell, some days, I'm pretty sure I don't even have a stall there. Happy editing, David in DC (talk) 22:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Fantastic Four
The death of (at least) one of the Fantastic Four has been hyped up for MONTHS now. The fact that it still doesn't have a single mention on the Fantastic Four page, the day before the comic's release, is ridiculous. I didn't source it properly and I don't know exactly what would be a reliable source here, or what the proper way to cite it would be, but a quick Google search can prove that I'm not just pulling this out of my arse.

Citation suggestion
In case you haven't already seen this, please check out User:Diberri's Wikipedia template filling tool (instructions). Given a PubMed ID, one can quickly produce a full citation that can be copied and pasted into a Wikipedia article. If you want to include the citation "in-line", be sure that the "add ref tag" option of the template tool is turned on. If you want to include a reference in the further reading section, the "add ref tag" option should be left off. For example:

Cheers. Boghog (talk) 20:06, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I'm not really clear what the advantage of this would be. And what if I don't have a PubMed ID, or can't figure out how to get one? Anaxial (talk) 21:36, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * The advantage of the tool is that it can save you a lot of work and the citation templates produced insures that are citations are displayed in a consistent manner. The tool works with ISBN numbers (which you included in the book citation you added, you can find these at amazon.com for example.)  The tool also works with PMIDs for scientific  articles which you can find by searching PubMed. Boghog (talk) 12:18, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, so you're saying that I got the formation of the citation wrong? That's possible, since I don't often edit biomedical articles. If you could explain what I did wrong, I'll do my best to change it. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. Anaxial (talk) 21:57, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Margaret Henderson
Hi,

I notice that you copyedited Margaret Henderson as part of the copyediting drive. You might have noticed that the original article was created by a relative, and as such included many unverifiable facts and eulogised constructions not suitable for an encyclopaedic entry. I have excised these and given the article a complete rewrite, with appropriate emphasis. -- Ohconfucius ¡digame! 03:01, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I noticed that it was poorly referenced, but it was already tagged to that effect, so I concentrated on the copyediting - and removing the more obvious POV statements. Was that insufficient? I can remove it from my word count, if you feel that the fact you needed another rewrite would make that appropriate. Anaxial (talk) 20:54, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm not challenging the wordcount nor the copyedit work per se. As I said above, I was a little surprised to see the eulogy, which I prefer to see cleanly and aggressively removed – but that's strictly clean-up work. -- Ohconfucius ¡digame! 02:43, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Finnish parliamentary election 2011, give your thoughts...
Hi! Seems like you've been involved in writing about the US elections. Therefore, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the talk page of the article Finnish parliamentary election, 2011. To the point: I re-wrote the first sentence of the article, because I thought it was somewhat poor English. Afterwards, my edits have been reverted, on (IMO) dubious grounds... I'd like to hear your opinion! :) Regards. -- Frous (talk) 05:32, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

vandalism - Old World monkey
Hi Anaxial, I've noticed that you've reverted an edit to Old World monkey by User:208.111.239.105 which you marked "AGF". Please be aware that this appears to be the latest work of a serial IP vandal - I've described some of his past history here. Part of this vandal's MO is to insert spurious scientific classifications - in this case, he assigned a fictitious subspecies name (of a South-east Asian monkey species) to a legendary Aztec creature!

You seem like a great person to tell me if I edited incorrectly.
I saw you were the most recent editor on Brush Script before I made a change to an external link as well as being a long time editor. Could you double-check the edit I made and let me know what I did right/wrong? I'd like to help with making small cleanup edits as I see them, but the task has always seemed daunting as I don't want to create even more that needs to be cleaned up.

Hello Anaxial. On 23 May 2010 you left a message on a Talk page asking a User to behave in a more civil manner. See your diff

Unfortunately, that User has not taken adequate notice of your advice, and has continued to taunt others, including newbies, with uncivil comments. For example, see this recent diff.

In recent times there have been more messages on this User's Talk page, and a couple of approaches to Wikiquette Assistance, and finally Requests for comment/DocKino. In this RfC, you are mentioned by name, and your message from 23 May 2010 is among those cited as evidence of other Users having tried unsuccessfully to influence this User's behaviour.

Thieffry Metro Station named after Vietnamese beauty
Hey there,

sorry, I'm new to (the editing of) Wikipedia.

What would you consider a reliable source?

[I'm the guy who changed the article about Thieffry Metro Station yesterday - just with a new dynamic-range IP]

Best regards, Jones — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.183.126.235 (talk) 06:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)


 * (Responding here since you'e not using a single IP). The guidelines at WP:RS and WP:V should give you an idea of what's required - essentially, you need a reliable, published, third party source. Wikitravel does not count because it is circular and a facebook page does not count because it is self-published. Furthermore, the source should actually support the claim being made. Presumably you have gained this information from somewhere - where was that? Anaxial (talk) 09:07, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Pardofelis vs. Catopuma
Hi Anaxial, and first, thanks for your dogged and ceaseless work lo these many years on the Felidae articles. Your contributions are invaluable to the improvement of these pages.

Regarding the subject issue... at some point, "we" need to resolve the species classification of the bay cat, marbled cat, and Asian golden cat on the Felidae and Felinae pages. The species lists in both these articles place only the marbled cat in Pardofelis, with the other two in Catopuma. Is there any zoological/taxonomic consensus on placing all of them in Pardofelis? Does this need to be discussed somewhere, or can "we" just achieve concurrence amongst all the articles, perhaps with a note or something outlining the "evolving" or "disputed" classification of these cats?

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this when you have a moment. Cheers... --Seduisant (talk) 14:37, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi there: Earlier today you (quite rightly) restored an AfD template to the above-captioned article. I'm hoping you can help me work out what needs to happen to it. I think what's happened is that an IP editor attempted to open an AfD on the article and then was unable to complete it, since IPs cannot; the IP apparently added a brief note to the article's talk page, as the template suggests, and then left the article in disarray (and left a line in today's AfD listings that is a redlink). I was going to go ahead and delete the AfD template but the line on the talk page has left me not knowing whether this is appropriate or not, especially since I can't decide if the article should be AfD'd. Any thoughts you have on this matter -- or perhaps bold actions -- would be appreciated. Ubelowme U Me  22:50, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Since you wrote the above, a discussion has begun at AFD, so it's no longer appropriate to delete the template. You may, of course, which to participate in the discussion (linked from the template). Anaxial (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your kind attention to this -- I'm happy to let it run its course. Ubelowme U  Me  18:59, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Spoilers?
Sorry I do not know how t use a talk page I could not find instructions.

Exposing magic does not belong on wikipedia. Below is the wikipedia definitions of a spolier.

A spoiler is a piece of information in an article about a narrative work (such as a book, feature film, television show or video game) that reveals plot events or twists, and thus may "spoil" the experience for any reader who learns details of the plot in this way rather than in the work itself.

The method to a magic trick is not its plot. It is not a twist. They are not intended to be known by anyone but someone that is performing the magic trick, or by someone that has the necessary tools and equipment to perform the illusion. Hundreds of thousands of dollars go into designing and building illusions. Most illusons cost $5,000 or more to purchase. Some illusions cost more than $25,000. Months and years of practice and rehearsal go into preparing an trick or illusion for audiences. By leaving methods out in the open, it makes it harder for magicians and illusionists to entertain, and their hard work goes to waste. If people do not want to be entertained by magic, they have no reason to know the methods to tricks and illusions.

Plain and simple. Methods do NOT belong on wikipedia. If someone wants to know how a trick or illusion is done, they can go out and buy the trick or prop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Q642a (talk • contribs) 20:54, 11 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Whether or not is a spoiler, it is referenced information, published in the public domain, and, for that reason, should not be deleted. If they didn't want it to be known, they shouldn't have published it in a book for anyone to read. Once that has happened, WP is fully entitled to repeat the information (so long as it isn't libellous, which clearly doesn't apply in this situation). Anaxial (talk) 21:02, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Doesn't matter if it is published or not. Published books are copyrighted, and are published for MAGICIANS. WP is NOT entitled to reveal secrets to magic tricks, and neither are you. Unless you have written permission from the person that designed the trick or illusio Wikipedia will have NO right to repeat information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Q642a (talk • contribs) 21:06, 11 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Not true; WP has every right to repeat published information. It's not a violation of copyright unless it's a verbatim copy, or a close paraphrase, in which case, yes, it should be altered (not removed). According to WP:CENSOR, "Wikipedia will not remove content because of the internal bylaws of some organizations that forbid information about the organization to be displayed online." While this is a profession, not an organisation, the same principle applies. Anaxial (talk) 21:21, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

It does not matter what wikipedia says, it has no right to publish secrets to magic tricks. Why doesn't wikipedia publish recipes for people to make home made generic medicine? You have absolutely no argument. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Q642a (talk • contribs) 21:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)


 * If you wish to change WP policy, I would advise you to take out an RfC. There's nothing further I can do on that front. Anaxial (talk) 21:39, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

It has nothing to do with policy, it has to do with respect for the lives and careers of others, which you have NONE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Q642a (talk • contribs) 21:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Dispute Resolution IRC office hours.
Hello there. As you expressed interest in hearing updates to my research in the dispute resolution survey that was done a few months ago, I just wanted to let you know that I am hosting an IRC office hours session this coming Saturday, 28th July at 19:00 UTC (approximately 12 hours from now). This will be located in the IRC channel - if you have not participated in an IRC discussion before you can connect to IRC here.

 * Any double redirects should be fixed automatically (if, indeed, there were any), but, yeah, the regular ones will remain on the system unless someone else chooses to change them - although they'll still work, so it's not a great problem. There were, after all, a similar number previously pointing to giant peccary and being redirected to the capitalised version. So, swings and roundabouts, really.

Hi, Thanks for your comment explaining why you had removed my edit. I did not provide a citation because I looked for guidance through the rest of the article, and saw that similar words such as "buck", "doe", "stag", "bull", "cow", "herd" and "fawn" were not given a citation. Looking closer, I see that this is not consistent, and that "hind" and "hart" are cited from the OED online. I do not have access to this, and all my books are in storage, but having had a quick look online could cite from, say, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/havier?s=t or http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Havier. I don't know whether these are acceptable sources? Thanks for your guidance on this. OnHawkspur (talk) 21:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Sword of Marathon
The novel 'Sword of Marathon' is a complete description of the Battle of Marathon, however in the form of a novel. To my mind this makes it perfectly suitable to place on a Wikipedia page called 'Battle of Marathon'. I think it is valid that it appears somewhere on this page. Where would you think most appropriate? Or should I create a new section entitled 'Novels based on the Battle of Marathon'. There are about three, that I know of. I would put all three in this new section.

For instance, on the 'Battle of Thermopylae' Wiki page, there is a 'See Also' section, which contains a link to this novel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_of_Fire. Perhaps I should create a 'See Also' section, to mirror the 'Battle of Thermopylae' page? Let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JackEngland (talk • contribs) 13:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Also, forgive my lack of Wikipedia formatting knowledge. It was as much as I could do to get this far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JackEngland (talk • contribs) 13:48, 19 August 2012 (UTC)


 * My concern is that the page you linked to only seems to be selling a copy of the book, and doesn't actually provide any information on the battle itself. A section on fictional depictions of the battle would be perfectly reasonable, IMO, so long as you provide references (to reviews of the books, say) rather than links to where you can buy them - that's considered spam, unfortunately, and will only get deleted. Anaxial (talk) 13:53, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that - It might be best if I create a Wiki page for my new novel, such as the one on 'Gates of Fire' above, which provides the detail you would like to see above, also one on myself, as the author, in the manner of the page on Neal Stephenson, and then use those Wiki pages to link to. I will try to avoid any accusations of spam, once I've figured out how to decently edit and create Wiki pages. I will try to follow the style of the similar series of linked articles on the 'Battle of Thermopylae', to create a sense of consistency. I've used about ten different non-fiction books as references, to make my fictional account as accurate as possible. Will also wait until some reviews start appearing, for this new novel, which should be over the next few weeks. Right, now I've got to learn how to create a Wiki article! :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JackEngland (talk • contribs) 14:41, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've put some links on your talk page; hopefully you'll find them helpful. If you're intending to write about yourself, you'll probably also find this page useful. Anaxial (talk) 14:54, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

RE: IE 8200 Class.
Hi, Anaxial. The link I posted on the page (named above) is confirming that the 8200 Class is indeed for sale now. Apologies if this seemed inappropriate, but would mind explaining to me why? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.28.251.179 (talk) 19:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * While it might be legitimate to add a link confirming that the item is for sale, it can't be to the actual site selling the item. It is important to ensure that nobody clicking on the link might be taken to a sales site, since this would be considered spam. If you can find a link confirming the fact, published in a reliable third party source (covered in a newspaper, say) but from which it is not possible to make a sales enquiry, that would be fine. Anaxial (talk) 19:37, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Request to Clarify Past Third Opinion
Hi, awhile ago you generously provided a third opinion at La Luz del Mundo article. This was your opinion Since your opinion a new section was added to the article called "Criticism." The section "Silver Wolf Ranch" was the subject of your opinion where you expressed that it should remain as a controversy and not be deleted. The Silver Wolf Ranch subsection was since moved into the new "Criticism" section. An editor states that you meant that the subsection, "Silver Wolf Ranch," should not be anywhere else but in the Controversy section. See his comment here Can you please clarify your third opinion? Did you mean that the Silver Wolf Ranch subsection ought to always be in the Controversy section and thus bar it from being moved elsewhere in the article? Thank you for your assistance and your time. Have a good day. Fordx12 (talk) 03:57, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Laden
I consider your inclusion of my name Barry Laden in the Arabic surname Laden as wrong, and poorly researched. I was born Ladenson and my name is German meaning shop. I am also Jewish so you are wrong in every way. Barry Laden — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barryladen (talk • contribs) 14:59, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

So it's just in the wrong section of the dab page? I'm sure that can be fixed. Anaxial (talk) 16:16, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
