User talk:Captain Assassin!/Archive 8

I was about to Prod the article, but saw it was written by you. Could you find some reliable refs for the article. I tried to goto her record publisher's (nons records) website, but it has been hacked with malware on it.

I haven't seen you around in awhile. How is school going? Bgwhite (talk) 00:51, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh hi Bgwhite, it's good to see you, I'm trying to get reliable refs.


 * School is just messed up man, I'm not going anymore. What about you, what's going on?-- Assassin'S Creed T -  E  -  C  -  G  - 06:29, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Nothing new. Just the usual.  Winter is coming here.  I see snow in the mountains from my window.  I learned the other day from Titodutta about the state civil service exam he going to take.  I thought China and Japan were exam crazy, but those Indian civil service exams have to be the worst.  There are only two ways to get ahead, use your head or use your connections.  So, atleast stay in school and graduate in something.  Bgwhite (talk) 06:37, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Hmm good for Titodutta :), I'm trying to get in school again to graduate. Actually I just have some problems with my dad. I'm hoping he'll allow me soon to go to school again.-- Assassin'S Creed T -  E  -  C  -  G  - 06:46, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter


We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. currently leads, followed by, and. However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Cinestar logo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Cinestar logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

WikiCup 2012 October newsletter
The 2012 WikiCup has come to a close; congratulations to, our 2012 champion! Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: (2007),  (2008),  (2009),  (2010) and  (2011). Our final standings were as follows:



Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.


 * The featured article award goes to, for four featured articles in the final round.
 * The good article award also goes to, for 19 good articles in the second round.
 * The list award goes to, for three featured lists in the final round.

 * Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article frog to featured status, a biostar has been awarded to.

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January! J Milburn (talk • email) and The ed17 (talk • email) 00:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * A query: why can't you achieve the same object by collaborating through the Wikipedia Pakistan project? Setting up a Facebook group to improve Pakisan-related content here is likely to be seen as divisive. - Sitush (talk) 09:52, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, it's just a community page on facebook, we can freely talk and comment there. No one showed disagreement before so let it go, cheers :-). -- Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 12:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

About Constituency NA-91 and so on
Hi Captain Wikipedia! I think it might be a good idea to rename National Assembly constituencies to some more descriptive name, like Pakistan National Assembly Constituency NA-91. This might be per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA policy, but I think it might also be just plain old WP:COMMONSENSE. Your thoughts about this?--Shirt58 (talk) 11:25, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it is better in the way like Constituency NA-91 because it is usually known as it is. And on the other hand you moved article into "Pakistan National Assembly Constituency NA-91" which is basically wrong because NA is meant by National Assembly and it's already describing that so not need to make a longer name...Is it correct?-- Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 11:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right, the "NA" in "Constituency NA-91" does indicate that it is a constituency in the National Assembly. I have no doubt that as you wrote, that "Constituency NA-91" is known as "Constituency NA-91", in English, in Pakistan. That would fine for Wikipedia readers who are familiar with the structures of the Parliament of Pakistan. I would suggest that cohort is very few readers. For that reason, I still suggest the article names should have the "Pakistan National Assembly+n" qualifier.--Shirt58 (talk) 12:32, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah I understood you what you mean...you think it's a Pakistan's constituency and it should be described like "Pakistan NA-91" or "Pakistan National Assembly 91" but look there is no other countries articles this time similar to "Constituency NA-91" so I would suggest to remain them in their ways because that's the way people searches or calls the constituencies. And when there is any article coming in same name then we'll move them to "Constituency NA-91 (Pakistan)" or "Pakistan constituency NA-91", like that...hopefully for a +ve response :-).-- Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 21:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * My goodness - I'm actually involved a dispute! It's a long-established Wikipedia tradition that we should now stop discussing the merits of the matter at hand and start calling each other names.  If that's OK with you, I'll start first: Captain Wikipedia!, it is obvious to me that you are a Wikipedia editor in good standing, and somewhat of an expert about politics in Pakistan. We may possibly have to agree to disagree about some matters raised here. And you are a smeg-head. --Shirt58 (talk) 12:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ooooh, a fight. I love a good fight.  Dang, I wish I knew some derogatory Pakastani terms.  Assassin is so ugly, the family dog keeps trying to bury him.  Shirt58 is so ugly, he got his name because his mom kept his head covered in 5 to 8 shirts.  If shirt58 left England for Pakistan, both countries IQs would go up. (Nothing better than insulting both of you with one joke).  Bgwhite (talk) 18:54, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hahahah, oh my God. I laughed out loud after a long time, it's hilarious. Hello Mr. Shirt58! Bgwhite got us man, he is really good at this :-). Alright enough, so now what do you want?...Just tell me straight forward.-- Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 20:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ignore Bgwhite, Captain Wikipedia!, he's just annoyed that for him "hockey" means a combination of Ice dancing and MMA. In our more civilised nations, after a proper hockey match, the opposing teams sit down to have a spot of tea and cucumber sandwiches  rather than starting up the Zamboni.
 * Seriously, though. Having had a think about this, I agree with you: if the "Pakistan National Assembly Constituency NA-91" is best known as Constituency NA-91, then "Constituency NA-91" should be the article name.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:48, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm good thought...I already told you it's best known as simply "Constituency NA-91", by the way thanks for your consideration and replying very soon... :-)-- Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 10:04, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello again. I was about to start, but it's already created. At present it only includes constituencies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad and the federally administered territories.  PS: Bgwhite: you are a smeg-head --Shirt58 (talk) 10:56, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes I started the template, but it's containing all the articles which I created about constituencies in Pakistan. I'll add all one by one when I started others. Now it's containing the constituencies of KPK, Federal and a number of Punjab. -- Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 11:17, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Captain Wikipedia!", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames including phrases such as "wikipedia", "wikimedia", "wiktionary" may give the incorrect impression that the account may be officially affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation or one of its projects.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Sionk (talk) 12:25, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * He already has changed his username once before. The Captain Wikipedia name was allowed by a bureaucrat. Bgwhite (talk) 20:52, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh God, you're kidding me :-). I've already changed my username two times last month, and this one was allowed by a bureaucrat as Bgwhite said. -- Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 18:51, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It was a pretty poor choice, based on policy however (✉→BWilkins←✎) 19:02, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hahahah, yeah but I think it'll work because it's not harming or confusing anybody. -- <span class="smallcaps texhtml" style="text-shadow:#666666 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Trajan Pro; color:Green;">Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 19:23, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed that it had been changed. But it seems very strange to allow a name that is blatantly misleading. Sionk (talk) 20:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm I know what can I do man...? I just like this name so I changed to it, now I'll suggest let it go on as it is. -- <span class="smallcaps texhtml" style="text-shadow:#666666 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Trajan Pro; color:Green;">Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 20:25, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * As I just said on my userpage, I interpreted the request as being allowed under policy because there is no position of Captain on Wikipedia and the exclamation point indicated to me that it was meant as a joke, like Captain Underpants. As I haven't heard that this user is running around ordering people as a captain, is it that big of a deal if his username says it?  MBisanz  talk 21:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess if Captain Wikipedia! has to change his name every month, he'll get an identity crisis ;) Sionk (talk) 21:28, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You will always be Assassin to me. Combine a word from each user name... Captain Assassin or my favorite:  User with no name
 * Do the Troy McClure routine. Your username would be: Hi, you may remember me with such usernames as Assassin's Creed, Captain Wikipedia, I'm not changing again and Wikipedia stole my name.  Bgwhite (talk) 22:56, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Hahah, it's being a big talk on my username. I'm thinking that Bgwhite you are right, I should have keep my Assassin name...but I remember there was also an issue on that name too. And Bgwhite I like your idea of Troy McClure, I should do that for a while or always :-).-- <span class="smallcaps texhtml" style="text-shadow:#666666 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Trajan Pro; color:Green;">Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 05:50, 12 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify, the name wouldn't be allowed under a proper reading of policy and it was my error that let it go through. As such, you aren't required to change names again, but please do try to avoid any confusion under this name's meaning.  MBisanz  talk 06:53, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's really very goodness of you Mr. MBisanz, I'll try my best to never let you down, thanks to you for letting me go through with this name.-- <span class="smallcaps texhtml" style="text-shadow:#666666 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Trajan Pro; color:Green;">Captain Wikipedia!

 * in case you missed the hint, Captain, an RFC/N could indeed make you change it (✉→BWilkins←✎) 09:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry Mr. Bwilkins, but I don't understand about the "in case you missed the hint" you said. I'll be pleased if you make me understand it better by explaining the phrase a lil' bit. Thank you. -- <span class="smallcaps texhtml" style="text-shadow:#666666 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Trajan Pro; color:Green;">Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 11:13, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You were clearly advised above that the username is against policy. So, if someone wanted to force the issue and take you to RFC/N, then you would indeed be forced to change it yet again.  My personal suggestion would be to do it voluntarily before the grief of being forced to, which would only cause negative feelings all around. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:09, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Agh! But MBisanz has allowed me to use it when I'm not making any confusion by this name. So if you insist then suggest me some names starting with "Captain", if I like I'll jump to it. :-) -- <span class="smallcaps texhtml" style="text-shadow:#666666 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Trajan Pro; color:Green;">Captain Wikipedia! ( T  -  C  -  G  ) 12:23, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * What was wrong with Assassin's Creed? All joking aside, Wikipedia's username policy is written for a reason. I've got no problems with the Captain part. But newbies in particular may assume someone called CAPTAIN WIKIPEDIA (in big flashing capitals) is not just another ordinary Joe. Sionk (talk) 12:33, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm...User:Captain Obvious was the first one that came to mind, but you would have to WP:USURP it because it was registered but has 6 edits back in 2005. A variant that is User:Captain Oblivious seems to fit for some strange reason that I just can't put my finger on right now.  User:Captain Assassin would of course combine this and a previous name.  It's not my role to find you a policy-compliant name, but if any user created an RFC/N and linked to MBisanz message above, that would seal the deal and you would be forced to change it.  Why not be smart - you seem to want to be part of this community, so live by the rules you agreed to. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, give me a some time for a better name...I'll change it soon. Thanks to you all. -- <span class="smallcaps texhtml" style="text-shadow:#666666 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Trajan Pro; color:Green;">Captain Wikipedia!
