User talk:Bluefist/Archive 1

Some questions (Mostly new post policy that I need)
1. What is the policy for albums? Should they be deleted, redirected to author, or something else?

2. What is the policy for players on sports teams? The only reference is that they're listed as a member of that team on an official website or something similar.

3. What is the policy for schools outside the US?

4. What is the best possible way to find out if someone is notable?

Thanks. Bluefist (talk) 04:48, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Hundred More Years
Why have you redirected the article? I know that it doesn't have real much content, but it's from a notable artist with lots of awards. There's room for expansion. The album is set to roll in about a month, and Francesca Battistelli had several songs chart on her last album. I think you should have at least explained why to the author of the article. If you're using automation to do new page patrol, maybe you could step back a little and think how it looks on the other side to the person who started the article. Just imagine if you had just spent at least 1/2 hour on something worthwhile just to find it vanished within a few minutes by someone who didn't even explain why. I know that new page patrol is fast paced, but it shouldn't be this fast. If you watch the admin nominations, people often get criticized for being too quick.  Royal broil  02:01, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand, but I was told that if an album is not independently noteworthy, it was to be redirected to the artists page. Sorry for the error. Bluefist (talk) 02:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine, verification is very important. I understood why you did it, although I thought it was marginal to redirect this article. If you read WP:MUSIC, which I'm sure that you've done, you'll see "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article." So you probably should have merged it. I probably would have found reliable source(s) and kept it. Or else you could have marked it for one of the deletions. But that wasn't my point. I was really asking you to explain to the author, User:Welsh-girl-Lowri, that this article had problems that needed to be solved. It's a good opportunity to teach this person about reliable sources and the need for verification. If she really wanted to see the content stay, then she needs to know that it will get deleted if you don't provide sources. If you've read the Signpost over the past year, you've seen that Wikipedia keeps getting criticized for deleting articles so fast. We are discouraging otherwise good people, who hopefully will turn into productive editors. Discouragement is a huge problem if we want to see Wikipedia keep growing.  Royal broil  02:29, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I took care of contacting her. Here's what I wrote .  Royal broil  02:43, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, I'm not very good at putting words in to a clear and concise paragraph. Which is why I want to help Wikipedia by patrolling new pages, I don't have to do a lot of typing. Bluefist (talk) 02:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the templates at WP:UTM would be helpful? They were written by the wordsmiths to be clear using simple language. All you have to do is cut and paste. Uw-refimprove would work in this case.  Royal broil  03:01, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Pau-Pyrénées Whitewater Stadium
I saw this same article yesterday, I don't know what happened to it, but from this new article, I assume that it was deleted. Bluefist  talk 19:34, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I changed the name of the article I am starting from Whitewater Stadium Pau-Pyrénées to Pau-Pyrénées Whitewater Stadium and redirected from the old title to the new.  (Note: The old version was not deleted after discussion, as you assume.) The new title is a better English translation of the French name.  Assuming this clears up the misunderstanding, I will remove the speedy delete tag. (Or post a hang on.) HowardMorland (talk) 19:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that clears it up very much, thanks for the clarification. Bluefist  talk 00:47, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

caps
I'll bite. Why did you capitalize Stellar Engineering and Astronomical Engineering? —Tamfang (talk) 03:48, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks more appealing to my eye, you can change it back if you want. (Plus it's a proper noun, they are always capitalized.) Bluefist  talk 04:16, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * What's proper about it? —Tamfang (talk) 05:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh, I looked at Electrical engineering and it seems that you don't capitalize engineering. I was always taught to capitalize everything but articles in a title. Bluefist  talk 23:48, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia custom is to capitalize only the first word plus whatever would be capitalized within a normal sentence. That way we don't have to pipe every link. —Tamfang (talk) 04:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Church chairs for deletion
The article Church chairs is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Church chairs until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. JamesBWatson (talk) 23:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Time spent driving
Hi, I see here that you were involved with the deletion of Time Spent Driving. Therefore, I thought you might be interested in this article. I'm not sure how to proceed here. It may be legit but I figured someone with more experience should check it out. Would you mind...? Thanks. LordVetinari (talk) 14:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ha, I'm pretty bad at this, but the reason I tagged the article for deletion was because it copied material directly from it's one reference. In addition to that, the band might not be notable (see WP:BAND) to have it's own Wikipedia article.  I don't have time at the moment to prod it for being not notable, so use your best judgment.  Bluefist  talk  19:31, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice. Former copyvio seems fine now. I've only added a notability tag. It seems too borderline at the moment for a prod. I'll give it a few months and see what happens. Anyway, thanks again. LordVetinari (talk) 01:13, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

would appreciate your help
Hi ! I am new to wiki so i hope I'm typing this in the right spot! I'm reaching out to other users for help. As I understand it, I need to track down an established wiki editor to help me rid the first article i've created ("Stone and Stone")of the ugly box that was posted on top "This article has multiple issues....".

I know exactly how these complaints came about. In my ignorance on how wiki works, I gave myself the same nickname as the subject I was writing on and then a whole drama ensued, as it was assumed that I was my subject and that I was writing an autobiography! In truth, I am a huge comedy fan and biographer and was dipping my toes for the first time in wikipedia waters!

Any help or solutions you could provide me when you get the chance would be greatly appreciated! This poor little article certainly doesn't deserve such an ugly heading box because of my wiki-ignorance! Thank you in advance for your time! Comedybiographer (talk) 10:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I used TW to AFD the the article, then left the page. It normally does everything, it must not have completed the process this once. RAIN*the*ONE  BAM 22:40, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Premature decision to scrap Fascism and anti-communism article
I just created this article minutes ago, I don't understand why it is suddenly being selected to be deleted. I will add more material in a short while.--R-41 (talk) 20:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Frankly, it's better off in the Fascism article. Why does this need a whole article? It's just stating that Fascism is anti-communist, which sounds like OR, although I can't prove that as I don't own those books.  Perhaps we compromise and merge the article to Fascism?  Bluefist  talk  23:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The Fascism article is already bloated as it is and admins are encouraging articles that go indepth on specific subjects involving fascism.--R-41 (talk) 23:30, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should rename the article to something like "Fascism in relation to other forms of government", I don't know. The current article just doesn't seem right to me (Granted I'm relatively new, but on the other hand I'm learning alot about Wikipedia policies)  Bluefist  talk  01:19, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

BLPPROD of Mirko japan
Hi Bluefist,

I removed the BLPPROD tag you placed on Mirko japan, as the article clearly said he died in 1963, making it not a BLP and not eligible for deletion by BLPPROD. However, the article is obviously very poorly written and I'm thinking it might just be totally made up. If you think the article should still be deleted, feel free to place a regular PROD tag on it or nominate it for deletion at AFD. Calathan (talk) 17:40, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Your request for rollback
Hi Bluefist. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing!  F ASTILY  (TALK) 01:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Thank You!
Thanks for removing that vandalism from my page. Just noticed it, seems someone was angry I reverted his (or her) vandalism. Vishnu2011 (talk) 02:14, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Amit Apollo Barman
Hello Bluefist. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Amit Apollo Barman to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. <font color="#307D7E">Phantom <font color="#55CAFA">Steve /<font color="#008000">talk &#124;<font color="#000080">contribs \ 23:50, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm still learning Huggle, so I keep messing up on CSD's. I wasn't even mine to begin with, I just wanted to revert and warn the author who kept removing the CSD tag.  Thanks anyway, I think prod is better.  Bluefist <sup style="color:DarkSlateGray;"> talk  23:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's more that re-reading the article, there is a claim of significance. However, I do not believe that it belongs in Wikipedia, hence the PROD. If that is contested, I will take it to AfD unless someone else beats me to it! <font color="#307D7E">Phantom <font color="#55CAFA">Steve /<font color="#008000">talk &#124;<font color="#000080">contribs \ 23:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

The IP arbitrarily slapped a speedy tag on an article calling it patent nonsense. Then he complained it was unreferenced. Once it was referenced, he continued to revert it back to the unreferenced one. PTJoshua (talk) 19:55, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well you should know better than to edit war then. Discuss on talk page or you will both be banned.  Bluefist <sup style="color:DarkSlateGray;"> talk  19:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hope it's OK if I drop a note here. Thanks for reporting to WP:AIV, but a more-appropriate messageboard would be this one; AIV is geared towards blatant vandalism, not edit-warring. All the same, thanks for bringing this to our attention! I'll check it out and see if the editors would like mediation. Cheers, m.o.p  20:12, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I suspected that would be a better area to report them, but I'm horrible filling out forms like that. If you wouldn't mind, I have 2 questions for you.  Do you think it was right to revert to last revision before the edit war started? See the history.  My second question is, how do you list diffs?  Do I copy &action=historysubmit&diff=433934087&oldid=433933939 this part?  Or &diff=433934087&oldid=433933939 this part?  Or some other way I do not know?  Bluefist <sup style="color:DarkSlateGray;"> talk  20:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Reverting, while admirable, is never the greatest idea when there's an edit war going on - most of the time, the other editors may get agitated even further. Rather, wait for an administrator to come and step in - we generally don't take too long if somebody notifies us.
 * As for listing diffs, this page can help you out in that regard.
 * Cheers, and thanks again! :) m.o.p  20:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Please don't reinstate comments on another user's talk page - as per established convention, a user's talk page is theirs to use how they will (barring making personal attacks on others), and that includes deleting what they'd like to. After all, if they delete it, it's only proof they've read it. Your good will is appreciated, but probably not the best idea in this case. Thanks, though! m.o.p 21:15, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Stephen Bleecker Luce entry
Hmmmm. My overarching criterion for encyclopedia entries is accuracy rather than "constructiveness" (whatever that might actually mean). The fact of the matter is that the US Naval Academy is in Annapolis, MD, NOT Newport, RI, and that Luce retired from the Navy almost 10 years prior to the Spanish American War. He may have received the campaign medal issued for that conflict, but if so your readers deserve to know on what grounds he did so. I don't expect you to restore my text, but you owe it to readers to correct the error in the existing entry re: his Civil War service, and clarify WHY he received the Spanish War medal, if indeed he did.

In response to your question and an explanation
Hey! Thanks for your contributions and questions. It's nice to see someone new! Anyway, the reason that I have "annexation" listed first is because from all the sources I've seen, both pro-Russian and pro-Other, it is stated as "annexation", with a vast minority of the world calling it "accession". My thoughts for the article were to reflect the global opinion (for if every side is covered, we can call it "neutral"). From what I can tell, about 80% of the world calls the process an "annexation" (in one of my sources for the title [5], Russia even tells the United States to "...accept the annexation...") with the other 20% calling it "accession". I've also posted this information on User:Moscow Connection's page (he is the strongest resistance) to inform him of this. The title of the article is actually supposed to say annexation, but due to a very tough non-consensus (and I personally think biased) fight from certain people (including M.C.), this was prevented from happening [yet]. Does this clarify things? :D  მაLiphradicus    Epicusთე  
 * He could claim the same thing if he was in your position. Regardless, I think we need some sort of high level decision about this.  Bluefist <sup style="color:DarkSlateGray;"> talk  21:39, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Well now the page is titled "Incorporation of" (this is a title both he and I agreed we would be content with); this seems reasonable, right? :)  მაLiphradicus    Epicusთე  
 * I changed the opening paragraph to reflect this. Hopefully  and other opponents will find this acceptable.  Bluefist <sup style="color:DarkSlateGray;"> talk  21:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Wow, we're seeing eye-to-eye. I edited the text to be a bit more informative of who calls the process what, check it out! Anyway, thanks so much for your contributions to the page and helping me! I'm off to work now. haha.  მაLiphradicus    Epicusთე

Request for opinion
Hi Bluefist: Sorry to trouble you, but I could not help but notice your expression of affection for TOS on the Wikipedians who like Star Trek: The Original Series page, and so I would be curious of your thoughts on the notability of a Star Trek author for whom I just created a Wikipedia article -- which may be promptly destined for the trash pile. As a newcomer here at Wikipedia, my first article attempt was indeed recommended for deletion within hours of its creation by a senior user named JzG who seems to me to be overly hostile and dismissive of Star Trek, calling it fancruft (= trivial, obscure, of importance to just a tiny group of fanatics). Since you are a Trek fan, if it is also your good faith opinion that my subject is in no way deserving of an article on this site; and you could let me know, I would feel much more comfortable with the justice of the pending deletion action. My proposed article may be seen here, assuming you visit the page soon enough ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Gurian Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 05:13, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

86-DOS
Hello Bluefist. Wikipedia is reality detached and its rules are beyond retarded. This is not personal in any way. I have provided the facts on 86-DOS talk page to support my argument, which can't be countered by anything rational - although I invite to do it. If you consider it not worth of wikipedia, ignore it, I don't care in slightest about this project in its current state. Best. 89.1.182.19 (talk) 17:41, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You should give a reliable source and your information will gladly be included in Wikipedia. Bluefist <sup style="color:DarkSlateGray;"> talk  17:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Regarding a brigading
Regarding the revert you posted here. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_ethnic_slurs_and_epithets_by_ethnicity&action=history

I believe this is where the brigading is happening from. https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/xm41to/hasans_community_changing_definitions_for_optics/
