Hi. I agree the article needs ce work. I worked on it last night for a while, however, it could use more work. So feel free to have at it. In the past there has been editor fighting over POV but the article has been quiet for sometime now. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 16:23, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello
Ah hello Chaos, how was Christmas for you? To reward your kindness, have this.  The Master of Mayhem has given you some kittens! Kittens promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Kittens must be fed three times a day and will be your faithful companions forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else some kittens, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Spread the goodness of kittens by adding {{subst:Kittens}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message.

Proposed deletion of List of ASIMO public appearances


The article List of ASIMO public appearances has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This out-of-date list was copied from a deleted section of the main article, ASIMO, from where it was removed after a discussion concluded that attempting to list every public appearance of ASIMO was neither practical nor of encyclopedic value – articles should provide a summary of significant information about a subject (such as exists in prose form at ASIMO) and not a complete exposition of all possible details about it.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * In order to keep the conversation in one place, I have responded at my talk page. -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: Your evidence at Civ_enf Case
In the opening statement of your evidence you say that Editor Nobody Ent's sequence of events Arbitration/Requests/Case/Civility_enforcement/Evidence is correct. The thread includes Nobody Ent's characterization of my request of Editor MF to be a gentleman as "condescending". It was not. Not when I made it and not now. Perhaps Ent has an issue with authority and views any stern comment as condescending. I dont know and I dont care how Ent views it. Thats his authority issue. Not mine. I didn't comment at the time Ent posted since I realized that most other editors would see it for what it was-- sour grapes. My request to Editor MF was from equal to equal...peer to peer. I hope I am mis-reading your blanket approval. Buster Seven   Talk  07:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

update
Just to let you know - I've responded at Talk:Speech_generating_device and have popped in a couple of questions at the end :) Failedwizard (talk) 20:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I can see now what the general feelings are towards the perceived subject of the article, from this point onwards I would like to go through all the GA and subsequent comments and see if I can help resolve any remaining issues, hopefully to avoid GAR. If GAR is deemed necessary, it might be best if I did not get too involved with any further editing of it until that process was started. In other words, if you wish to go to GAR feel free to go ahead, if you want to wait and let me peruse then that too is fine - a large amount of work would be necessary to go through them all which would be pointless if GAR was to go ahead. Chaosdruid (talk) 21:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm very happy for you to go through all the issues - it would be very helpful from my point of view and I think it would improve the article. I'm not going to nominate for GAR (I was very happy with Matthew's review and felt he did a good job), but, of course, I can't speak for any of the other editors involved - as an aside - do you consider the name issue to be separate to the GA one? I've really perked up at the idea of making it VOCA again... Failedwizard (talk) 20:19, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem, real life is real life :) I'll give it maybe a week before raising the name issue again in any case - I think it's fair to make sure that it's not done of the cuff while people might not be paying attention (also I've got another acc move request in at the moment anyway... ) Failedwizard (talk) 08:27, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

George Devol
Hi Chaosdruid As you know George Devol died last August. The picture in the George Devol article (thank you for not merging it) is the same as the one on the Industrial robot page. I have found some much better pictures, but I know it is not trivial putting pictures on Wikipedia. Example: http://www.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_606w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2011/08/17/Obituaries/Images/OB-MAIN-DEVOL_1313620202.jpg - its public domain Robotics1 (talk) 22:32, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Please feel free to check my edits
Chaosdruid. I am sorry that I did not understand the process for assessment. I followed very closely the assessments of other similar articles and explained my changes on the talk pages. You can find a list of articles that I have edited over the last seven months on my user page. I cannot recall which of them involved reassessments. Prof McCarthy (talk) 20:30, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your note. I am pleased to help out.  You can find out quite a bit about me and my activities at my website mechanicaldesign101.com and even more at my older site synthetic.eng.uci.edu.  You may also find my recent book Geometric Design of Linkages would help you understand my background.  There is more, my Facebook page is open to the public, but this may already be "too much information" as they say. Prof McCarthy (talk) 23:08, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Can you please construct a sentence about the vibratos and trills for me? But please do it in a way to include the explanation you gave about the semitone. Please Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 19:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Was it really necessary to post all of it at the FAC? You could have simply left a link of section of the talk-page where the discussion took place. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 17:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I am humbly requesting you. Please remove that discussion if you think I have addressed your concern. Please remove it. I mean, instead of the giant post, leave the link where it all took place. Please. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The thing to remember is that FA's are the very pinnacle of articles in Wikipedia. They must be shining examples of everything that makes Wikipedia good, and must have no blemish or suspicions about accuracy or any other such problems. In a GA or B class etc. review, I would not have done this, but as it is an FAC I cannot let that one go. If I suspected OR or SYN and allowed it to go ahead I would be letting the whole project down.
 * I understand that you have worked hard on so many of the articles, indeed I have copy-edited a few, but I cannot treat anyone differently to any other. I am here to make the encyclopaedia better and do my small part in ensuring that quality does not exceed quantity. You have to understand that I cannot bypass my moral compass in such cases and do not think I think anything less of you or your work, as always it is meticulous - though as all humans we are infallible, and such issues must be righted when necessary. Chaosdruid (talk) 02:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. You are right. I think I went a bit too far. But you know I did that because of this. It was like it was never going to end. :D Thanks for everything. Hmm, on a different note, don't mind me asking but which Beyonce article did you copy-edit? I can't remember. Well, it's true I have requested you several times but I don't remember which one you copy-edited. Please don't take me the wrong way, I am just asking. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 04:35, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

I copyedited I Am... Sasha Fierce in June or July of last year. To be honest there were quite a few similar problems, with refs incorrectly cited (or interpreted), and if you look back at the copyedit notes Talk:I_Am..._Sasha_Fierce, I do not even know if you followed up and corrected the problems I had found. Chaosdruid (talk) 19:22, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Lol. I completely forgot about that. And I think I did not even fix the issues there. Sorry, I really forgot. I have so many articles on my watch-list that I often miss things. Sorry once again. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 05:45, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Don't Go in the Woods (2010 film)
Hi. Yes, it's the correct naming convention, per WP:NCF. If there was no article of that name, it would be Don't Go in the Woods. If another article existed (a book, song, etc), it would become Don't Go in the Woods (film). As there are two films with this title, the year is added to become Don't Go in the Woods (2010 film).

European Robotics Research Network
Hi Chaosdruid, I had a message left on my talk page saying I was instrumental in deletion of the above article. (please see). Actually I had never heard of European Robotics Research Network. I went to their site and it seems legit but what happened there? Is it worth trying to upgrade it? Robotics1 (talk) 19:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Update: I have just researched them on google - there are articles about them all over the place. The Telegraph for a start. They even get funding from the European Commission. You don't get that unless you are notable. And ironically there is a wikipedia article on them in German. Why on earth was it deleted? Robotics1 (talk) 19:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

West Memphis Three
Hi Chaosdruid. Looks like there was some mistake in an edit on West Memphis Three - - you marked it as a minor edit, saying you were adding a link, but you must have been looking at an old page because it got rolled back to an old version. I have restored the version to before your edit, so I don't think your link would be added. Do you want to have a look. If, of course, your roll back was intentional, then it would need to be discussed, as it contains some dubious material, and questionable sources. SilkTork  ✔Tea time  10:08, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

BEF and Dunkirk
The official history of the campign, THE WAR IN FRANCE AND FLANDERS 1939-1940 By Major L. F. Ellis C.V.O., C.B.E., D.S.O., M.C. LONDON 1954 HMSO - CHAPTER XVI LAST DAYS AT DUNKIRK (p.248) says; "When the operation ended 338,226 had been evacuated — 308,888 of them in the ships under Admiral Ramsay's orders." The figure that I added last night was for British servicemen only (includes RAF I suspect) and also includes Operation Ariel. I ommitted those evacuated during Operation Cycle, as the great majority of those were taken down the coast to Cherbourg, and then exvacuated again during "Ariel". Alansplodge (talk) 11:30, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes 308,888 is equal to 198,229 plus 139,997 French quoted in our article. I keep thinking about making a "Second BEF" section, but inserting it would be a bit tricky because the final section mostly talks about Dunkirk as though it were the end of the campaign and would have to be rewritten. Also. I read in a blog somewhere that Lord Gort was intended to take command of 2 BEF once it had exceded corps size. I haven't been able to find a proper reference for it, but could press on without.


 * I have a personal axe to grind about 2 BEF and "Ariel" as my father is a veteran, and was evacuated from St Nazaire the day after Lancastria was lost. At school, none of my history teachers would believe that the BEF was still in France after Dunkirk. I have already had a go at improving Operation Ariel and Ark force, also created Norman Force (my first article!) and Beauman Division. Operation Cycle needs more work, but refs are difficult to come by. Alansplodge (talk) 18:01, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

LED Headliner prefix:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/
Just to let you know, there's no patrolling link on the blank page, so there's not much I can actually do at this point.

I do know that there's been a bit of a system bug in recent weeks with deleted pages occasionally remaining listed by maintenance tools even after deletion — for example, there were four deleted articles which remained on the Untagged Uncategorized Articles toolserver for a full month after their deletion in early January, and wouldn't drop no matter how many times I tried to recreate, tag, detag and redelete temporary placeholder pages. Unfortunately, there was no fix forthcoming at the system level; we only got them off the list just last week by having the tool maintainer specifically add the four titles to a manual exclusions file.

The best I can suggest would be to bring it to Village pump (technical) to see if there's anything they can do to help. Bearcat (talk) 18:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just had an idea — I'll recreate a temporary placeholder page. As an administrator, I believe my contributions are "autopatrolled", but I'll still wait until you have a chance to look it over, and then I'll delete it again. I don't know for sure if that will get the page off the list or not, but it's worth a shot. Bearcat (talk) 18:31, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, check LED Headliner prefix:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/ now; once you let me know that you've looked it over (and patrolled it if necessary), I'll delete it again. Bearcat (talk) 18:35, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've now deleted it again, so give the list one more check to see if it's stayed off this time. Bearcat (talk) 19:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Inner/Outer Tibet
Hi, I originally proposed to delete the Inner Tibet and Outer Tibet articles, as I found these two pages in the Tibet (disambiguation) page. By clicking on these pages I was expecting to be brought to some articles leading to the geographic description of both terms, but instead it brought me to the Simla Accord (1914) (for Inner Tibet) and the the Tibet Autonomous Region (for Outer Tibet) created more than 50 years after the Simla Accord.

I have read your edit summary regarding the Inner Tibet redirect and now understand better the idea behind this redirect. So I have also removed the "proposed deletion tag" for Outer Tibet, but changed the redirect towards Simla Accord as well, so that both Inner and Outer Tibet are redirecting to the same page. I hope this is fine so. Regards, --Pseudois (talk) 18:42, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

page rename process and Talk:Massacres of Poles in Volhynia
Would you be kind enough to point to this? I have searched the page Moving a page and have found no mention of a page rename process. Finding concensus is what the various editors of the page have been trying to do for over a year on and off. I think every one would just like to sort it out so that we can all move on. If you have a genuine objection to the name that is emerging as concensus then by all means make a constructive suggestion. If we end up with a deadlock then I suppose we will have to resort to RFC to sort it out. However, I did not see any process comparable to RFC mentioned on "moving a page."

Thankyou for getting back to me on this one, a problem is now solved. Op47 (talk) 16:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
