John Berry (zoo director)
I have nothing against moving, but I made the effort to create the article and giving as a reason him being a zoo director is off base when this is his actual job does not make sense. Hekerui (talk) 13:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No insult was intended, it has to do with our naming protocols and there likely is a better one than either 'zoo director', which I think should be reserved for those whose career paths have centered on such, or 'administrator', which is vague but better than "executive". If they had only worked at the zoo fine but I think their career arch has been more about running companies/ organizations. -- Banj e b oi   22:50, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I was just confused about the wording. Anyway, administrator works. Hekerui (talk) 01:15, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, keep up the good work. -- Banj e b oi   19:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi. I'm the person who originally tagged it, and I'm afraid the current information, while it at least gives a source, still doesn't give the appropriate permissions. If the original uploader is the said Cory M Privatera, then there's no problem, but otherwise the uploader, personally, does not have the rights to release. Thus we would need either an explicit statement that it is licenced under the GFDL by Privatera, either on the source website or via email to OTRS. Thanks. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Cory M Privatera is the original uploader and gave the GNU license. Unsure why I need to prove anything as I was only reverting to the original uploader's own work. If they've released their work is there something else that needs to be done? If so why wasn't that dealt with two years ago? -- Banj e b oi   20:24, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * All evidence points that the original uploader is the photographer. See one of his webpages ; send him an email if it's that big an issue. They have been here for two years uploading their photos but have less than 100 edits over that time. 7 days to delete an imge that has been fine for two years is unjust. I think it's unreasonable for us to force them to reveal their identity on every image or even not to trust that they are the original photographer. Has anyone suggested they didn't take the photo or otherwise have claimed someone else's image? I'm unclear why we are making deletion of images easier and keeping them harder. Many of us who upoad images are genuinely trying to improve articles and not steal images. He's an accomplished photographer and should be encouraged to donate more. From what I see they did everything they were supposed to.  -- Banj e b oi   20:11, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
For the welcome back and the help on the health section at Mississippi. Only wished your hard work would have been taken into more consideration there. I know you, wikiwise anyway. Unfortunately, the others over there apparently do not. ;] - &#10032; ALLST☆R &#10032; echo 01:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Attempt at stress reducing satire
I have formulated a version of the BBL template that perhaps you will find more to your liking. It frames the issue in a clearer and more neutral way. Though getting various SPS's to back up what it says admitted here will be hard. Take a look.

RS Notice board:Commentaries on a Peer reviewed Article.....Again
Hello,

You are being informed of this topic on the reliable sources notice board because you, commented on the question the last time, or are editor of the article The Man Who Would Be Queen, or you edited a related article. This was originally raised in October 2008. This is a complex topic and hopefully you will remember what this was all about and be able to comment insightfully and help us reach a consensus. I have asked that the comments found in the archive of the original discussion be taken into account this time since I am sure those other editors will return at some point. It is my hope that these can be comprehensively settled this time. To see why This is being asked again check out Talk:The Man Who Would Be Queen.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Reliability_of_Articles.2C_Commentaries.2C_etc._that_appear_in_a_Scientific_Journal. This link is to the new request for comment on the reliable sources notice board. (You may have to scroll down to see it)]

Please please don't confuse up this discussion with things about other tangentially related discussions. Please please focus on just the question of sources. (Don't take anything in this message personally as it is being sent to everyone involved.)

Thankyou for your help. --Hfarmer (talk) 12:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Shannon's Rainbow
Glad to have you helping out. I know I was a bit messy, but I wanted to address the nom's issues before anyone else chimed in a delete based upon the WP:ADVERT the original article was. Good job!  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Julianne Michelle
And my quick-fix for Julianne is not perfect... but take a look at the before and after. The assertions of notability were all over the place and just need sources and cleanip. How could the nom not even looked for her awards and nominations?? Sheesh.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Just saw you're there. Damn, you're fast!! Thanks. I owe you.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

What the heck?
This makes no sense. It is perfectly legitimate to respond to comments as I did, and your movement of my response isn't supported. I'm confused why you did it, as my response no longer appears in relation to the comment I addressed. I restored my comments which you refactored without asking me. Please ask an administrator to review this issue before acting unilaterally again. I see nothing wrong with how my comments addressed and replied to your comments, and your refactoring isn't supported. It is perfectly acceptable to respond in the way that I did. Viriditas (talk) 07:50, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Viriditas, I have again moved your comments out of the middle of mine and it should be quite clear that I don't appreciate you inserting your rebuttals between my responses as if a conversation had occurred which didn't; as if you commented then I completely ignored what you stated. These actions, IMHO, seem like the edit-warring behaviours you accuse me of doing so I want to state clearly I don't appreciate it, I find it uncivil and unhelpful. Wikipedia isn't a battleground and discussions aren't won or lost. I disagree with your stance but am unwilling to mount a defense for what I see as a rather silly argument. A BBC health reporter noted the state is humid most the year round and the residents find outdoor exercise uncomfortable, in part due to that climate condition. In an article discussing overall health issues and relating to an obesity crisis in the state this seemed completely relevant. I'm sure some scientist can be found who can verify these rather obvious facts but no bother. I'm sure the needed content will eventually be worked out. By the way, that isn't refactoring although inserting your comments between mine misrepresents the discussion both in spirit and context. -- Banj e <u style="font-size:14px;font-family: Zapfino, sans-serif;color:deeppink">b oi  02:53, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * In other words, you are engaging in purposefully disruptive behaviour in order to accuse me of edit warring when I restore my replies which were made in accordance with policy and guidelines. Benjiboi, I had no idea you had serious issues that it made it difficult, if not impossible to communicate with you like a normal person.  Therefore, now that you have made me aware of this, I will no longer be communicating with you here, or anywhere else.  Good bye and good luck. Viriditas (talk) 04:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, cutting off communication is one solution although it seems rather counter-productive. My main concern was interupting my comments with yours which changes the context of what I wrote. Other folks, admins, as far as I know, did the same to me when I was newer so it was clear who said what and when. To me that is the spirit of communication in this forum. I'm sorry if you don't see it that way or agree. I guess i could have amended my comments by simply adding onto the prior one but that seemed somewhat deceptive so I wouldn't advise it being done without good reason. In any case I wish you well. -- Banj e <u style="font-size:14px;font-family: Zapfino, sans-serif;color:deeppink">b oi   10:37, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * After seeing the edits to the article talkpage I've asked for other eyes on this here. -- Banj e <u style="font-size:14px;font-family: Zapfino, sans-serif;color:deeppink">b oi   11:25, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Viriditas's style of commenting is acceptable. In fact, it's the same as mine. If you want your comments to be treated as one long comment, place your signature at the end of that comment. It isn't deceptive at all, unless you use it to deceive people. If you want your comment to be treated as a response to your previous comment, use one more asterisk/colon than the previous comment. - Josh (talk | contribs) 15:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * So when adding a second comment in a row I can delete the first time stamp so the two comments are bundled together? -- Banj e <u style="font-size:14px;font-family: Zapfino, sans-serif;color:deeppink">b oi   15:19, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. - Josh (talk | contribs) 23:33, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess that's what I should do then, I still feel deleting someone's comments and insulting them isn't helpful but appreciate the feedback! -- <u style="font-size:14px; font-family: cursive;color:#CC00CC">Banj e  <u style="font-size:14px;font-family: Zapfino, sans-serif;color:deeppink">b oi   00:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Didn't see deletes, just comments moving back and forth ... in the future I would just append a new note to the discussion expressing your viewpoint. And yeah, User:Viriditas is a bit strident but I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. Gerardw (talk) 22:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The deletes were in the last edits of theirs - I didn't revert it. I very much appreciate the ideas and feedback, since the other editor has been unwilling or unable to respond I guess we'll have to accept their last statement as their take on this.
