Re. Funny Vandalisim
Hey Dfrg. I also wish you a belated happy Valentine's. Good to know VP is finally working for you. I've been using VP2 again as vpbot is now back on track. I haven't seen any funny vandalisim recently though. ;-) Cheers, Hús  ö  nd  20:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Ken Fujimoto
There really is no such user. Please note that on there is no "user contributions" link for that user. Instead of treating my edit as vandalism, you should really be doing a favor by deleting that page. 128.2.247.153 10:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * To tell whether a user exists, simply look for the "user contributions" link on the left panel. If it does not exist, then that user does not exist. In addition, the creator of that page appears to have created that page for vanity purposes, judging by his contribs. 128.2.247.153 10:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Various articles on Graffiti
Hi, Happy for the PROD tags to be removed. I will nominate the articles for AfD. Apologies for not notifying you. Nothing personal. Just an oversight. (There were a lot of articles!) I'm sure if the artists really are notable they will clear an AfD easily enough. regards Marcus22 11:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Mountain Biking on Mount Tamalpais
Hello, An article that I created as a part of Wikiproject Cycling called Mountain Biking on Mount Tamalpais and linked to the Mount Tamalpais article, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Mountain Biking on Mount Tamalpais.

Please don't change E@L's userboxes
Hello, please don't change E@L's userboxes, as you did in this edit. It may not have been your intention, but your edit changed the contents of the AMA membership page. Her original status was "slightly busy" and not "available", as your edit made it seem. Thank you. --Kyok o 23:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Considering that it wasn't my page but E@L's, you really should apologise to her and ask her if she likes having other people change her page with hidden comments and other stuff. I tend to be a bit defensive about my page because of all the time it took to format it. I don't know how E@L feels, but it's generally considered bad practice to alter another user's page without their permission. That's why there's a list of vandalism warnings about it. And please, call me Kyoko. --Kyok o 00:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, I've made mistakes with copy and paste too... in the past week, even. Take care, --Kyok o 10:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Empathy
There is a general feeling by many wikipedians that articles are often deleted prematurely and without the valid reasons. We seem to have a lot of cases of people not having the opportunity to fix articles, admins don't bother putting up tags within the article (which by now should be compulsary for anything other than a speedy-delete), and there is a general level of unrest and frustration about article deletion.

In my case for instance, regardless of the validity for deletion, tags should have gone up, and had I been wiser and more experienced I would have put them up myself and asked them to give me some more time. Also in my case, one of the complaints was that it read like a how-to-guide (bulldust if you ask me) which was also very easy to fix.

Another completely bogus claim in my case was that the article should be deleted because it's a dicdef. What nonsense! I'd say articles like 'tenacity' or other such words should be called dicdefs.

You are in the fortunate position of being an experienced wikipedian, and have the knowledge and wisdom to argue for non-deletion. You may even ask for the input from some of the wiser admins (not that there are many on Wikipedia -- they're a mixed bag).

In your case however it seems to be primarily a notability/issue. As someone that is very clueless and uninitiated about graffiti I have to say I don't know if I would want every graffiti artist on Wikipedia - surely you understand that notability does factor here? (On the other hand there are many 'inclussionist' users that encourage notability leniancy because they believe having more articles is a good thing for wikipedia). We can philosophically ask questions like

"Would you want to find this article in an encyclopedia?" and

"Is it "fair" to the highly notable graffiti artists to include lesser known and mildly notable ones?" and

"How do graffiti artists compare with other street artists, do we start to include other run-of-the-mill street artists that have been reported on in their local newspaper but otherwise aren't very notable?".

The good news is that there may be some controversy at play here. You will probably find some admins and some users willing to lean to the inclussionist policy on this, while other bully-headed trigger-happy deletionist admins will insist that your articles simply don't meet notability requirements and should be deleted forthwith. In that case, try maybe adding a note on Jimbo's userpage for his feedback on this issue, and also try finding some prominent users that would support the inclussion of your articles. Another tactic is to separate your 10 or so articles into a rank of notability; find the ones that are the most notable and as a compromise, insist that those ones stick, while the least notable ones go.

In closing, one of the tests I do to determine notability, is to ask myself if I would find myself looking up that article on wikipedia in the first place. I believe there may be several users that would look up 'anal stretching' for example and expect there to be an article. So ask yourself, would there be users out there that may look up the graffiti artist known as 'Civilian'? To be fair, I don't think people outside Australia would, so the next question becomes, would Australians in general be expected to look up Civilian? If Civilian is only known to people in Canberra, or New South Wales at best, with only very limited notability, it becomes questionable whether the article should be included.

Looking for ID of Melbourne street artist.
Hi Dfrg. You seem to be up on the subject, I'm trying to find out about an artist who has been stencilling short phrases onto hard rubbish (matrasses, couches, fridges etc...) that's left on nature strips in the St Kilda/Balaclava area. Been seeing it around for quite a while now and was just wondering if you'd heard of it, had any idea who it was, whether they were notorious or still anonymous.

Invitation to join WikiProject Graffiti
Hi, Thanks for the invite and I hope all goes well with the group AfD. I've added some reference links, but don't have time for much more. The good news is: it's incredibly easy to find quite a lot of info, photos, exhibitions on the web. CityLights has several, Rash, StencilArt shows up several of these artists names, Outside the Square 2004 has a few pages of photos and can be used to reference the artists that participated, not to mention several of these artist run their own flickr sites (like the Meggs link in the AfD discussions). Anyway, break a leg and I hope I helped these articles along a little. :-) --Greatwalk 07:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Miniature images
Hi. I've just seen you've uploaded some pictures of Tau minis, licensed under a free license. Assuming these are of official GW minis, copyright subsists in the miniature as well as the picture, so they need a fair use claim to be used on Wikipedia. See Commons:Derivative works for the legalities of the situation and eg Ultramarines Dreadnought.jpg for an example of how to license these things on Wikipedia. Cheers --Pak21 10:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me, although there are a couple of typos and the fair use rationale needs tweaking: "It adds significantly to the article by displaying a characteristic miniature of the vehicle being discussed" (my emphasis). Cheers --Pak21 09:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Rone and others
Hi defrag, I missed seeing the Afd for this but it seems that all of the Melbourne street artist articles you created got listed, then survived as it became a messy argument with no conclusion. Have you considered, as an article on one artist is never going to be very long, creating an article with a name like Street art in Melbourne. Then all the details from the articles could be in one place and the current ones changed to redirects. Otherwise I can see some of these revisiting AfD eventually. If one artist section like Rone gets large enough then it can be split out into it's own one and it gives you space also to talk about the art and it's evolution. As for Rone as a standalone ... the article is going well but I think GA is going to be an issue regardless of the effort put in. Unfortunately there is unlikely to be enough information published on him to allow the article to ever be broad enough although I could be wrong - Peripitus (Talk) 11:41, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism to Milton, Ontario
You've just left what I think is an unwarranted "test1" message on my talk page. I'm using Lupin's Anti-vandal tool and working through edits of the last 30 minutes or so. I clicked to revert Sharpy11's 20:47 edit of this page. Unfortunately, because there had been further edits since, involving the same sequence of editors, the effect was that it undid his last edit at 21:03, which was actually something constructive - so it actually looks as though I'm putting in the rude word, which I wasn't. I don't deserve a warning (look at my edit history if you want - lots of vandal fighting) so I'd be grateful if you remove it. Bencherlite 21:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In fact, your reversion has accidentally left in "who makes kick-ass apple blossoms!" at one point and other nonsense - which was the 20:47 vandalism edit I was trying to remove! I'll stay clear of this page and let someone else sort it out. Bencherlite 21:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ta - no hard feelings. Sharpy11 is misbehaving again, so I'll try and clean up what he's doing and probably end up with an AIV later!  TTFN Bencherlite 21:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I saw that you re-created Category:Economic Left and Social Libertarian Wikipedians. However, there was a consensus to delete these categories here. I have speedy deleted the category as recreation of deleted material. I've asked the creator of the userbox to make it so it no longer adds people to the deleted categories (the code is complicated, and I didn't want to break it by doing it myself) so people wouldn't be tempted to re-create the categories but they haven't done it yet.

The problem with fence-sitting

 * From: User:Badlydrawnjeff/DRV_is_Broken


 * About: Anal_stretching


 * I normally wouldn't contend this kind of decision, but I'm having a couple of problems with it. It was nominated for AfD by User:SamKinney with the justification: "Wikipedia is not a how-to guide nor is it a dictionary. Nothing within this article is actually referenced and the bunch of external links at the bottom are not valid citations so I say delete this and salt the earth.". The article is encyclopaedic. Even if it were not the case, the subject has the capacity to be encyclopaedic. The rest of the justification is concerned with referencing: deletion seems like a rather destructive way of dealing with a lack of references. The article now seems to have been protected from recreation so even if I wished to create a fully referenced encyclopaedic article, I can't (being an administrator I could, but I won't). The subject of the article is notable (375k Google hits, several mentions in scientific journals), it is verifiable and referencable (the journals). I hope to have this article recreated so that the community can deal with it in a constructive manner . Oldak Quill 17:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Part of What Wikipedia is not.

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a slang, jargon, or usage guide. The goal of this project is to create an encyclopedia. Our sibling project Wiktionary has the goal of creating a dictionary. It is the "lexical companion to Wikipedia", and the two often link to each other. Wiktionary welcomes all editors who wish to write a dictionary.

Both dictionary articles at Wiktionary and encyclopedia articles at Wikipedia start out as stubs &mdash; stub dictionary articles on Wiktionary and stub encyclopedia articles on Wikipedia. However, the full articles that the stubs grow into are very different. One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a stub dictionary article, and stubs are often poorly written. Another perennial source of confusion is that some paper dictionaries, such as "pocket" dictionaries, lead editors to the mistaken belief that dictionary articles are short, and that short article and dictionary article are therefore equivalent.

Wikipedia articles are not dictionary articles, are not whole dictionaries, and are not slang and usage guides.

The differences between encyclopedia and dictionary articles
However, note that dictionary and encyclopedia articles do not differ simply on grounds of length. A full dictionary article (as opposed to a stub dictionary article, which is simply where Wiktionary articles start from) will contain illustrative quotations for each listed meaning; etymologies; translations; inflections; links to related and derived terms; links to synonyms, antonyms, and homophones; a pronunciation guide in various dialects, including links to sound files; and usage notes; and can be very long indeed. Short dictionary articles are artifacts of paper dictionaries being space-limited. Not all dictionaries are limited by the size of the paper. Wiktionary is not paper, too.

Fixing bad stubs
A good stub encyclopedia article can and should begin with a short explanation of what the subject of the article &mdash; the person, place, concept, event, or thing that its title denotes &mdash; is.

However, sometimes, a stub encyclopedia article will be badly written. Its introduction will say something such as "Dog is a term for an animal with the binomial name Canis lupus." or "Dog is a word that refers to a domesticated canine.". Such articles are not dictionary articles. They are badly written stub encyclopedia articles, that should be cleaned up in accordance with our Guide to writing better articles. Simply replace the cumbersome phrasings such as "is a term for", "is a word that means", "refers to", with the very simple "is": "A dog is an animal with the binomial name Canis lupus." "A dog is a domesticated canine."

Sometimes, also, a stub encyclopedia article will be badly named. Its title will be an adjective or an inflection of a verb that isn't a noun. Such articles are only dictionary articles if they discuss the word or phrase, rather than what the word or phrase denotes. If they discuss what the word or phrase denotes, then they should be renamed or merged to the title that adheres to our Naming conventions. For example: "supermassive" is an adjective, and doesn't by itself denote an actual subject. Supermassive black hole is an actual subject.

Stubs with no possibility for expansion
All stubs should have the potential to develop into full articles. A stub that has no possibility whatsoever for expansion beyond stub status is presenting the verifiable information in the wrong way. Wikipedia should not have single-fact articles.

This does not mean that stubs that have no possibility for expansion should be copied to Wiktionary. They are still encyclopedia articles, not dictionary articles. Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia, and the solution for an unexpandable stub encyclopedia article on Wikipedia is not to create encyclopedia articles on Wiktionary.

Per our Deletion policy, stubs that cannot possibly be expanded beyond perpetual stub status should be either renamed, merged, or refactored into articles with wider scope, that can be expanded beyond perpetual stub status, or deleted.

Dealing with mis-placed dictionary articles
Sometimes an article really is a mis-placed stub dictionary article, that discusses the etymology, translations, usage, inflections, meaning, synonyms, antonyms, homophones, spelling, pronunciation, and so forth of a word or an idiomatic phrase.

If Wiktionary doesn't already have an article for the word or idiom (which, with Wiktionary now having over 116,000 English language words is less likely now than it used to be), it can be copied to Wiktionary using the transwiki system, by marking the article with the Copy to Wiktionary template.

However, after copying, the final disposition of the article is up to Wikipedia. If the article cannot be renamed, merged, or refactored into a stub encyclopedia article about a subject, denoted by its title, then it should be deleted.

Wikipedia is not a usage guide
Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, phrases etc., should be used (but it may be important in the context of an encyclopedia article to discuss how a word is used: e.g. freedom).

Articles that have been heavily cut to avoid becoming usage guides include gender-neutral pronoun and non-sexist language. Articles with information on how a word is used include singular they, homophobia, and sexism, SNAFU.

By a simple extension of the latter, Wikipedia is not a hacker/computer usage or other slang and idiom guide. We aren't teaching people how to talk like a hacker or a Cockney chimney-sweep; we're writing an encyclopedia. See Knocking her dead one on the nose each and every double trey for a historical example. But see also jargon file; articles, even extremely in-depth articles, on hacker culture are very welcome, and insofar as guides to some particularly essential piece of hacker slang is necessary to understand those articles, of course articles on that slang would be great to have.

Wikipedia is not a genealogical dictionary
There are special reference works known as genealogical or, more often, biographical, dictionaries. These tend to focus primarily on the immediate family connections (parents, spouses, children and their spouses) of the article subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such focuses more on the actions and contributions of an article subject. This means that many genealogical details may be omitted in exchange for a better-flowing, more rounded article.

Biography articles should only be given for people with some sort of achievement. A good measure of achievement is whether someone has been featured in several external sources. Minor characters may of course be mentioned within other articles (e.g. Ronald Gay in Persecution of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered).

See also Criteria for inclusion of biographies.

Good definitions
"A definition aims to describe or delimit the meaning of some term (a word or a phrase) by giving a statement of essential properties or distinguishing characteristics of the concept, entity, or kind of entity, denoted by that term." (Definition)

A good definition is not circular, a one-word synonym or a near synonym, over broad or over narrow, ambiguous, figurative, or obscure. See also Fallacies of definition.

 * Thank you for your through reply... Regarding:
 * I can't give you much help at all with the user on Wikipedia. It seems apparent that this came from an editor, and possibly an established one. It is possible though to find a user on Wikipedia with their IP address. For example, my IP is: 220.236.205.132. I think check user ect. can link the user with the IP address. I can get someone to look at this option if you request.


 * Here is the crux of where I'd like assistance. I'm not sure from a Wikipedia policy framework where to start on this.  I know there are privacy implications cross referencing the two, so I understand that perhaps this editor could be contacted and counseled on this, even if I wasn't allowed to  learn who the user in question is. -- so I guess what I'm saying is that could you have someone take a look at this option?


 * I of course will keep editing, but cowardly acts like this one just annoy me. —Cliffb 06:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Re cats on your subpage
I'm on a sort of quest to clear out old and broken categories, and one of yours (Category:AGH MY EYES) showed up. I was going to remove it (And the other redlinks ones), but I'll leave that decision to you if you want to. Logical2uReview me! 23:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Attribution/Poll
Hey dfrg.msc - I just thought I'd make sure you're aware of the poll taking place at Attribution/Poll - check the top of your watchlist. By the by the by, it seems my edit for Anal Stretching in my userspace was deleted by (guess who?) Guy! Citing that it hasn't been touched since January - although he himself I believe made edits to it in February - although I could be wrong. Sigh, not that I'm coming to *you* for any help! I know an admin or two that strongly feel the article shouldn't have been deleted and that it should exist - they're both on haitus at the moment, so let's see what I can do - all I need is an admin to step in and unlock the article from recreation - it's been 3 months already - and there's no risk of *me* reposting deleted content. If nothing, concede that the article should be unlocked. Rfwoolf 21:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Referring to your entry on WikiProject Lego's talk page, could you please help out in converting the sprawling lists to tables in the following articles: Lego Space, Lego Town & Lego Castle. I've already done so for a few in Space & Town, if you want examples.

Portal peer review
Hello, Dfrg.msc! Since it has been a month since you nominated the Graffiti Portal for peer review, I hope you received good feedback on how the portal could be improved. If you would like, you could keep the portal listed at the portal peer review for more suggestions for improvement and ask the Wikipedians here for feedback. Also, if you think the portal is ready, you could nominate the portal for featured status. Either way, I hope you've received helpful reviews! Cheers, [ sd ] 15:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
