BC/AD vs. BCE/CE
Hi,

A user asked me not to change CE to AD and stated, "date formats should be left the way the original creator intended them to be."

Hasn't BC/AD been the original format for the last 2,000 years? Why this historical revisionism?

Best regards,

Happy belated B-day! I was scrolling up and saw this.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-04-27_Dead_Kennedys
Dear Bottesini, you're on break, so I'm not sure how to proceed. But anyway, in accordance with your verdict, 2006-04-27_Dead_Kennedys, an attempt was made to reach a compromise on the following articles: Dead Kennedys, California Uber Alles, Holiday in Cambodia, East Bay Ray, Alternative Tentacles, Live at the Deaf Club, Jello Biafra. With much difficulty, a few facts were left to stand to balance the partisan viewpoint, but it is not much and new negative material keeps being added, keeping the articles negative and unbalanced. These articles are about living people and clearly violate Wikipedia’s NPOV policy and Biographies of Living Persons policy regarding negative material. Wikipedia is being used to promote Biafra’s agenda by his fans. (The Jello Biafra page continues to have irresponsible libelous statements up regarding Decay Music and Provident Financial based solely on a biased press release.) Three compromise offers were made, see below, but they were turned down by Lgagnon, CJ Marsicano, and Rsm99833. There appears to be no alternative but to have the above articles stubbed and a NPOV rewrite done according to your verdict. Thank you. - Bob 18:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Compromises offered, from Talk:Dead_Kennedys:


 * Another way to end this battle over negative material is to remove all the negative material, ON BOTH SIDES, leave a simple and short statement about the trial outcome, and leave the back and forth to the blogs and chat rooms, here it is supposed to be an encyclopedia. - Bob 23:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * If I email Dead Kennedys and can get them to show the backs of the checks, will you three, CJ Marsicano, Lgagnon and Rsm99833, agree to my compromise and agree that Biafra is a very unreliable source, to say the least, and then work to set the Wikipedia record straight? What do you think? - Bob 01:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


 * However, if you [addressing CJ Marsicano], Lgagnon and Rsm99833 also recuse yourselfs, I would to. Maybe we could give some room for other people to have a go at it for a while, what do you folks say? - Bob 19:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Kevin Parratt
Hello Bottesini,

You helped me some time ago relating to an article about 'Kevin Parratt' which has now disappeared levaing a dead reference in the article 'Gouache'. Can you help me restore the blanking someone has done?

Regards,

Oliver Naturalhomes

I've checked the criteria for natability and he passes so I have restorred the article. Thanks for your help. Naturalhomes


 * Just a note for this situation - please do not advise people to recreate deleted articles from mirrors. First, its important to check why the article was deleted and second, if an article merits being in Wikipedia, for GFDL compliance the article needs to be undeleted so we maintain the editing history.

picture
Your picture was great! Why do you want to delete it?-- E d Trick? or Treat? 01:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * But you did modify it, right? Can you tell me exactly what you did to the painting? (What photo editor did you use? What modifications did you make? etc.)-- E d Trick?  or  Treat?  01:32, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * You are in fact the "artist" of the image, since a reproduction of an artwork does not produce a new copyright. The only thing you can't do is take the actual painting in Chicago (that's where I live!) and deface it with the EA logo. ;) Anywat, it's your "property", so you can list it under something other than fair use.-- E d  Trick?  or  Treat?  02:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh no! Did my putting it up because I loved it make you decide to delete it? :-( — E ditor at L arge  ( speak )  03:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Tell me about it. It's good that we're trying to protect the original creator's work (I'd hate it if someone posted something of mine and claimed it as their own or used it without my knowledge), but for something like the Coffee Lounge picture... it's just for fun! Really, who is going to mind??? — E ditor at L arge  ( speak )  03:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Duke et al
Thanks much for agreeing to look into the case - I saw that you also saw the compromise had been reached and closed it. Sorry that I didn't know how to undo it without breaking any policies! In any event, definitely wanted to let you know I appreciate the work you and the MedCab do in building an encyclopedia. DukeEGR93 00:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Sweet Edit Statistics
Thanks for them :)

There's probably no excuse, but I think you have to find peace of self before make peace with the world. I know I should main edit more, and because I don't I'm sorry to everyone. Randfan 04:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Mark as stub
I think the article on the North Central Correctional Institute should be marked as a stub. I am not, however, sure what type of stub this should be marked as; could you provide some insight?

(I'm hoping for this to be a chance for me to learn something more so than to critique that article) NMajik 00:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, I can't think of any reason not to delete it. I wasn't sure if it should have been a prison stub because it had mentioned it was a hospital. Thanks for the clarification!
