User talk:Dr.frog

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
 * Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck! Jrdioko

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).

I strongly disagree
I wrote an article about an ice show troop from Canada "Le Patin Libre". The sources are cited. The information is verifiable. I don't understand why you are talking this way about my article.

Can you please verify what you say, and proove the information I post false before editing and changing the encyclopedy's content? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salvador de la glace (talk • contribs) 16:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Let others have their say too
The beauty of Wikipedia is that it is a collaboration of many different users. You're taking away certain additions to certain articles which is not nice when they when takent he time to do the writing for it.

Also, why is a certain fan page on a certain skater favored over another. I think that is favoritism.

Please be open to other people's input in articles.

Hello!
I haven't forgotten your email I swear, it's just that this WP thing is so addictive, it sucks up all my time... BTW, don't forget the frog articles, we have only a couple dozen of the 4,800 we should have! Been working on beetle families lately so they'll have something crunchy for dessert! Stan 05:33, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

?
Are those frog tracks I see behind me? Or do you have some humongous list of articles lacking in essential arcane Wiki symbols? Whichever - thank you. It's nice to see somebody is paying attention to these things. I just wish you'd rewritten that spongy sponge (food). Onward! --Mothperson 11:53, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you so much - great link! --Mothperson 14:56, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

I am not a candy bar
When you put Heath bar into the category candy bars, what did you do, exactly? My talk page is now listed under U (User:Mothperson) in the candy bar category. Please fix! --Mothperson 03:28, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much, but I'm still at a loss. I never put any category on my user talk page. It just appeared out of the blue. I don't understand how that linkage occurred. --Mothperson 11:40, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Oh. Ah. Soooo......figure skating, huh? (rapidly changing subject) A sibling of mine is a fanatic, so I'm half of one by default.

Anyway, duh, and my bad. --Mothperson 13:31, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

stubs
I think your idea of what is "no longer a stub" differs from most everyone else. Certainly Pinto bean is still a stub. I see others that are marginal. Do you suppose you could change your parameters a little? -- WormRunner | Talk 21:28, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

Bombs
Yeah, "bomb vessel" is probably a better generic term, a little bureaucratic-sounding but not much reason to make separate articles for subtypes. Naval stuff has kind of receded into the background lately, as I've been crunching through the 8,000+ pictures of desert plants I took this spring... Stan 19:20, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Elaine Zayak
Anyone have an email or contact info for Elaine Zayak now? Im an old friend that would like to say hello somehow...thanks Dean

Tara Lipinski
You did a great job finding the quoatation and all. But somehow, I don't find the article neutral even though you found these things in newspaper, magazines, etc. You don't see such things on other people's bio on Wikipedia (eg: Nicole Kidman saying that Tom Cruise didn't treat her kindly, etc), which might be true. I think these infos do not belong into an encyclopedia. Just by selecting some quotes over others is a bias. Iniminimagimo 15:23, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Sandwich category
Aloha. I noticed you added Category:Sandwiches to San Francisco burrito. Perhaps you could help me understand this categorization, as I noticed the Sandwich article has been changed as well. For example, I know from personal experience that you will not be able to find burritos in most sandwich shops, however you can order a mexican-style sandwich (a Torta) in most taquerias (and they are pretty tasty). I was just wondering if you know why a burrito is classified as a sandwich. --Viriditas 10:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi, again. I wasn't arguing that a particular kind of burrito should or shouldn't be classified as a sandwich. I was merely wondering why burritos in general are classified as a sandwich, aside from the changes somebody made to the burrito page.  As I said above, in the real world, sandwich shops do not recognize this categorization, and mexican restaurants carry actual sandwiches called tortas. --Viriditas 19:45, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, see wrap (food). Some types of wraps are in fact similar to a sandwich, but many are quite  distinct from a traditional burrito. In any case, thanks for your help.  Eventually, I'll get to the bottom of this. --Viriditas 21:02, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Copyright Examination Rejected
You requested a copyright examination regarding Michelle Kwan. Sadly copyright examinations is not the right place for your request. The most common reason is that the content has already been added/uploaded to Wikipedia. Such cases (violations or not) are taken care of at Copyright problems.
 * If, after careful reading of the copyright examinations page, you still think it is the right place for your request, use the copyright examinations talk page to discuss the case.
 * If you have problems trying to find the appropriate place for your request, consult the copyright problems talk page.

Your request will eventually be moved to List of requests which don't belong here on the copyright examinations page. Please try to find the right place for your request as soon as possible. We hope that your request will find the right place and get answered. --Easyas12c 02:26, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:1961-us-team.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1961-us-team.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use or fairuse. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. -- SCEhard T 04:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Figure Skating
I note you have removed the flags of the members of the ISU from the Figure Skating page on the grounds that the information is repeated on the ISU page. Where, pray, should the flags of the non-ISU figure skating nations go? Rhyddfrydol 21:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * With respect, I find your attitude to countries which are not members of the ISU very arrogant. Just because they are not members of the ISU doesn't mean that Ice Skating in those countries is of no worth.  Many of those federations (such as the Singapore Figure Skating Association) are asiprant members of the ISU, and take part in non-ISU events - in the case of Singapore they take part in Skate Asia.  Just because nationals of certain countries are not up to the standards of Joubert and the like, doesn't mean their efforts are of no worth.  Even Joubert had to start somewhere!

Re: Ladies v. Women
I appologise for your not being able to find the page. It is on a tag on the medals pages because that is what the page officially started out as. It is unfortunate that you were unable to join in on the debate, but if you have seen the discussion, it wasn't an arbitrary decision. It was decided among us all. I see your point, but the decision has been made. If you feel strongly against the current state of this argument, then I suggest you put it up for re-inplacement on this page. From there, it will possibly get re instated as a resolved. I appreciate your concern. Reply to this message if you still have comments or questions! -- Jared  [T]/[+ ] 21:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Reduction of categories for Futurist meals
Why were the catefories reduced for Futurist meals? Only the broad category of cuisine is listed however, the article does describe the Futurist idea of equipment for preparing those meals, cooking mthodology e.g., meat sculptures and methods. --jadepearl 19:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification on music in ice dancing!
As I noted on the Talk page for ice dancing, I've cleared it up on the page itself to make it more clear which competitions allow what kind of music for which kinds of figure skating. Will probably make a similar change to the figure skating page. BTW, wow. That is a LARGE range of interests! Runa27 22:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

New wikiproject
Hi Dr.frog. I noticed that you edit a lot of figure skating-related articles, so I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Figure Skating, which I just created. It needs work, and any help would be appreciated. Cheers! --F a ng Aili 說嗎? 21:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

comments at pair skating
I was wondering if you had any further comment at Talk:Pair skating. It looks like, however, that this issue has already been decided. If the Olympic WikiProject is using "women" throughout (for figure skating and other sports), I think we should be consistent. Let me know what you think. Thank you! --Fang Aili talk 14:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Notice
I have opened another debate regarding ladies/women here. Please feel free to edit your arguments, as I just copy/pasted them from Talk:Pair skating. Thank you. --Fang Aili talk 20:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Roitr/sockpuppeter
I am not him!!! It`s wrong!!! Please see my contributions and you can be convinced that I am not it. Clauses changed by me and him in the majority different. And only one or two clauses at us coincide.--N.i 07:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

note
Just wanted to tell you I added some informative notes to the pair skating article. This is just to inform the reader about why "ladies" is used, because it is sure to raise eyebrows. I do not consider this a "permanent" solution (as permanent as Wikipedia gets, that is), as I'd still like to get more opinions on the matter (hopefully when User:TheProject gets back online he can comment). However I'd like to ask you--in exactly which articles do you think we need to use "ladies", and in what context? I agree with you that "ladies" should be use when refering to the ladies' event, or as in "ladies' champion", but I am unsure on where we disagree elsewhere. Thank you. --Fang Aili talk 21:13, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Am I to assume you don't wish to discuss this any further? --Fang Aili talk 14:40, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem, was just wondering. Cheers. --Fang Aili talk 21:51, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Tonya Harding deletions
From the template/summary for the recently revised policy concerning biographies of living persons, "This article is about or directly concerns one or more living people, and the biographies of living persons policy must therefore be adhered to. Specifically, unsourced or poorly sourced negative material about living persons should not be posted to this article or its talk page(s). Such material must be removed without hesitation. The three-revert rule does not apply to such removals." The material I removed was completely unsourced. Part of the reason for the new policy, I think, is to push editors familiar with a subject to provide references. All I know about Harding comes from TV, so I didn't qualify to repair it. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 20:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Rather than get into an ongoing saga of undoing each other's edits - let me tell you why your use of the phrase "an American Former Figure Skater" is wrong. When associated with "Figure Skater", both "American" and "former" are adjectives. As such, they should conform the correct grammatical order. In this instance it is grammatically incorrect to place "American" (origin) before "former" (time). You could, if you so chose, change the phrase to "an American and a former figure skater" as a conjunctive now separates the two adjectives. If, however, both adjectives are placed next to each other the correct way of saying it is "a former American figure skater". If you disagree please let me know and I will refer it on. If not, please reverse your edit. David T Tokyo 13:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply - much appreciated.

John Curry
Thanks for fixing than. It's curious; the BBC article is mistaken. Or perhaps they mean 'first gold medal in men's figure skating'. --Fang Aili talk 19:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Fish sauce
I reverted your edit from sauce->fish sauce on the oyster sauce article. But when I really thought about it, I guess I don't really have a problem with it being put in the category of "seafood-based sauces", it's just that "fish sauce" is a bit limiting and inaccurate. The same goes for XO sauce, which does not have any fish in it. Maybe we can change the name of the category? Sjschen 18:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Geez, word gets around fast! Yeah, my last day was last Friday - going to work on Firefox at Mozilla Corp, starting there in two weeks.

Taboo food and drink
If you'd like to contribute constructively to the taboo food and drink article, please don't delete sections that has appropriate references.

Food science categories revert
I just wanted to let you know I reverted to the Food science article with the category foods and agriculture for the following reasons. 1) The science of foods is known as food science. 2) In many universities with this major, the department is classified under their college of agriculture, or agriculture and life sciences. Noted universitites with food science departments are the University of California, Davis, Michigan State University, University of Georgia, Rutgers University, North Carolina State University, and Ohio State University. Please let me know if you disagree with this. Thanks. Chris 22:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I see your point. I will move food science to the Food and drink category and removed it from both the foods and agriculture. Chris 22:35, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I am afraid that I have had to remove your prod notice. The criteria you invoked are comments on a talk page; they are not Wikipedia policy or even recognised guidelines.

Diaper Genie
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Diaper Genie, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Eastmain 17:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Converting an Advert
Although the Drip Coffee Lounge article needs work, it does contain references to awards and article(s), which is part of Wikipedia's NPOV and non-advertisement principle, as I understand it. As the original author, I am not involved in the ownership-or with the owners-of the company, and simply find the place to be unique in the Phoenix area (thus the article). I also (hope to) identify DCL as an example of the change in culture that is taking place in Downtown Phoenix (note the editing of that article, as well). Any suggestions on how to edit/write the DCL article to better reflect a NPOV would be appreciated. Cheers azwaldo 02:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

re: notable competitions
I have no problem getting rid of most of those, but I'd prefer to keep regionals and sectionals in. They are qualifying competitions for Nationals, and so while placing at one of those doesn't make a skater notable, it does mean the skater gets to go to Nationals. I also think it's interesting to see, at a glance, how a skater did at Nationals vs how he or she made it there (like winning sectionals, but placing 14th, or placing 4th at sectionals and getting on the podium). Of course regionals and sectionals don't establish notability, but I think they're important enough competitions by virtue of feeding into nationals. Sure, they don't make a skater notable, but I think they deserve to be in a list of highlights. Kolindigo 19:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:DickButton-1990.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:DickButton-1990.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 19:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Redirect to chicken and waffles, rather than Deletion
At 17:43(UTC), 9 November 2007, User:Dr.frog made the edit: "mark for deletion due to lack of notability/external references to establish notability", and clarified this comment with "Doesn't seem particularly notable as a business; owners being notable for other endeavors doesn't make the restaurant itself notable".

Coffee Cup: Drink Stub -> Coffee Stub
Hi.

I'm not savvy with the nomenclature and classification of stubs, but are you sure Coffee Cub should be changed from drinks-related stub to coffee-related stub? After all there are a variety of other drink 'containers' ranging from mug, tea cup, coffee cup.

I'm not going to revert you because you may be correct, but perhaps you can re-assess your decision.

Figure Skaters
Hi there. I noticed that you've been contributing to articles on figure skaters and seem to have some interest/knowledge/books on the subject. I've been working on the biographies of Olympic athletes, and I was wondering if you happened to have any sources/knowledge of certain figure skaters were still alive or not. The ones I've been wondering about are Fraser Sweatman, Toshikazu Katayama, Audrey Garland, Stewart Reburn, Margaret Bennett, Kazuyoshi Oimatsu and Ryuichi Obitani. Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers, CP 02:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I think you were a bit harsh. "Corn brat" gets a few dozen Ghits, which while not enough for its own article, is verifiable.  I also have eaten one of them at a local fair in upstate NY.  So I'd like to insert some real cites back into the corn dog article. Bearian (talk) 16:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll just let it go. I guess it's my fault for trusting the original poster for the facts. I still believe it's probably worth noting somewhere (notes or footnotes perhaps?), but we could work on that maybe latter after your done cutting down some of the stuff you don't like.

Fair use rationale for Image:CarloFassi-ChristaFassi-JillTrenary.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CarloFassi-ChristaFassi-JillTrenary.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Johnny Weir Edit War
Please stop with the edit war on the Johnny Weir page already. It is very tiresome. I realize from reading the Discussion page that you have a longstanding history of not liking users other than yourself to add information to the Weir page, but life is tough. There are many people who have a great deal of factual knowledge about Weir, and all of the information I have added is both factual and relevant to the particular subject headings. It is properly referenced and linked.

Your OPINION that information about what memorabilia he collects or pets he owns does not belong under the subject heading of "Personal Life" because it does not relate to his "life as a skater" is simply wrong - there is a very long section about his life as a skater under "Career". Wikipedia articles about individuals are NOT limited to information about one singular aspect of their lives, and you are not the sole authority on what is too trivial to be included. Now, stop with the immature editing war already. It is not up to you to revert an article several times a day because you have appointed yourself the Emperor of All Things Johnny Weir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.244.219 (talk) 22:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I am a professional Archivist, archiving information is what I do. The Johnny Weir article contained a large amount of both incorrect and improperly referenced information (not to mention poor grammar and sentence structure) and I have been working on cleaning it up in my spare time, along with several other articles about other figure skaters. It still needs more work, and I will be making more edits to add more references and make sure all of the statements are correct and written as clearly as possible. I never said you were picking on Johnny Weir in particular, just being a royal pain deleting the exact same information dozens of times without discussion. After you had done it a couple of times, you could have at least posted an explanation for why you felt the need to keep deleting it on the discussion page.

I do not agree with you that the information you are deleting does not belong under the "Personal Life" heading because it is unrelated to his skating - if it were related to his skating, it would be under "Career". It is comparable to information that is posted on the Wikipedia articles of other eligible figure skaters, such as Evan Lysacek ("his favorite possession is his Greek Orthodox cross") and Stephane Lambiel ("his good luck charm is a ladybug").

We can argue with each other until we are both exasperated, and we can engage in an editing war until Kingdom Come, all without resolving anything. You are a copy editor and I am an archivist; we both have legitimate reasons to believe that we know what we are doing when it comes to what information should go onto the page. Any chance we can resolve this peaceably? 64.222.244.219 (talk) 00:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, you say you don't care enough about Johnny Weir to get into an editing war over his article, but I've read the discussion page on his article and you've already had a couple of drawn-out editing wars with other people on that very page, so that seems unlikely. At any rate, if you are willing to stop deleting the same things over and over, we can just let this drop then. But since you do seem quite knowledgeable about figure skating and skaters and are eager to edit, you might want to take a look at some of the sloppier articles about skaters on Wikipedia that could really use some slashing. Some of them are clearly being written by the presidents of the skaters' personal fan clubs and consist of little more than gushing. The Weir article is, even at its worst points, generally fact-based. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.244.219 (talk) 03:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Worlds-End-Hingham.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Worlds-End-Hingham.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:11, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dr Frog

I disagree with the placement of tags at Bacon Explosion. The sourcing is sufficient to demonstrate notability, and I doubt if any other sources will be more demonstrative of notability that what's already there.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:LoopEntry.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:LoopEntry.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mormegil (talk) 14:53, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Additional information was added to the article before it was closed, showing that Michael Solonoski indeed fits the qualifications for inclusion, as he is competing at the "highest level of his sport" 2010 United States Figure Skating Championships.

If his article was removed, other athletes such as Jordan Miller (figure skater) should be most definitely be removed, as they have even less notability in the sport and even more limited international experience.

Replaceable fair use File:NicoleBobek-1995.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:NicoleBobek-1995.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

help on another famous pizzeria
Hi Dr. Frog- I recently created a wiki entry for Pizzeria Bianco, a pizzeria in Phoenix which has only been around since '94 but has been rated by multiple serious people as the best in the country. I've eaten there once (I live in MD) and was impressed and surprised that while Pepe's and Sally's and some others had entries that this one didn't. So i did some research and wrote one. Although I am just a grad student on the other side of the country and have no vested interest in the place, and I tried to write imparially, i've been told it's on the edge of sounding ad-like. So I was wondering if you might take a moment and edit/view the page to help make it more neutral. Thanks ps. it's cool to see that once someone gets a phd they get a special wiki acknowledgement for it. about 3 years from now i should be able to join those ranks.

Hi, Could you please explain why you removed my brief reference to the interview that Plushenko gave to Izvestia? You said "disputed quotes and translation"? I simply quoted Plushenko himself in the article published in Izvestia. ThanksJosya (talk) 21:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Plushenko
Thanks for responding. Actually that was me who edited the paragraph. It was late and I forgot to log into my newly created account. As u can see the changes were minor. I am a perfectionist by nature so I just wanted to reflect more accurately Plushenko's words. I purposely avoided summarizing and quoting everything he said so as not to clutter the article. Logically, I placed my paragraph right after his widely quoted expression about Evan Lysacek's gold medal and before what Irina Rodnina said. It seemed to me the only best suited place in the entire article. My reasons for inserting this paragraph are as follows: Even though Plushenko is widely quoted on the importance of having a quad in a program, I am surprised to see how little is mentioned about what he's been saying about the judging at the Games or not being fought for by the skating union of Russia. Since Vancouver, Plushenko has given literally scores of interviews to different TV stations and newspapers,(mostly russian)drawing attention to these issues. Some of the details he reveals are quite interesting. I omitted most of them. Instead of creating a separate section on the judging controversy, which would have been very interesting in my opinion, I simply decided to add a few of his statements to this article. Statements which Plushenko himself 'considers very important and ignored by the western media.'

As far as the accuracy of my translation - I can vouch for that.The statements I translated are almost verbatim.

Please let me know if u have further questions or concerns... Thanks... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Josya (talk • contribs) 01:59, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

WP:NSPORT
Hello. I changed the figure skating requirements for notability. For the most part it was just getting rid of redundancy, but I also did a compromise for the world junior championship. I noticed that in several of the big non olympic/senior world championship events (including the junior championship), that a handful of athletes never qualify for the free skate. Looking through the figure skating pages most of these athletes don't have pages and the ones that do qualify in some other regard (being national champion of a weaker country). I made the requirement for notability that one must compete in the free skate in these competitions (did not add this requirement to the Olympics or senior world championships). Of course notability is still granted if they qualify in any of the other categories. I don't think a figure skater who scores 20 points in the short program of a world junior championships and does not go on to skate the free skate is inherently notable.MATThematical (talk) 22:34, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Was Michelle Kwan an alternate at the 1994 Winter Olympics?
I noticed that you reverted my statement that Michelle Kwan went to Lillehammer as a alternate. I respectfully refer you to 1994 Winter Olympics, specifically the Section on "Figure Skating." Please read the following excerpt:

On 6 January, Tonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly conspired with Shane Stant to club fellow female figure skater Nancy Kerrigan in the knee.[35] Both Harding and Kerrigan were selected for the Olympic team. After Harding admitted to helping to cover up the attack, the United States Olympic Committee initiated proceedings to remove her from the Olympic team, but Harding retained her place after threatening legal action.[36] Michelle Kwan, who would go on to a stellar career with multiple World Championships, began her Olympic career as an alternate for the United States in Ladies Singles. In the ladies' singles, Ukraine's Oksana Baiul won ahead of Kerrigan, with Harding finishing eighth.[37] In the men's singles, Russia's Alexei Urmanov won ahead of Canada's Elvis Stojko.[38] Relaxation of the amateurism rules led to several former stars returning, such as ice dancing 1984 Champions Great Britain's Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, who took a bronze behind Russians Oksana Grishuk and Evgeny Platov, and Maya Usova and Alexander Zhulin.[39] In pair skating, the Russians also took a double, with Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov winning ahead of Natalia Mishkutenok and Artur Dmitriev.[40]\

It looks to me like Michelle Kwan went to Lillehammer as an alternate.

Tonya Harding
I was going to revert that same edit, but, while it looked fishy for being unsourced, the prior text had no source, either. I infer from your edit summary that you have a copy of a Skating magazine that would be a source. Could you add that as a reference? TJRC (talk) 23:58, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Sabena Flight 548
Hi Dr.frog. I'm currently doing some work on the Sabena Flight 548 article which you created in 2008. There is one sentence in the first paragraph of the Investigation section that's marked as unsourced: "The pilot had to circle the airport while waiting for a small plane to clear the runway" – please can you tell me where you got this information from as I would love to be able to remove the [citation needed] tag which has been sitting there for 10 years.

I've recently added a new citation (https://historybecauseitshere.weebly.com/light-and-radiance---figure-skater-laurence-owen-and-her-team.html) which includes the following:


 * Just before 10:00 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, February 15, 1961, Pilot Jacques Genot filed his flight plan in the Brussels airport briefing room since his plane was scheduled to take off next. He cringed as he watched Flight 548 abort its approach to Runway 20 and try to land on adjoining Runway 25 which wasn't operational...

I suspect this is taken from an eyewitness statement (that I can't find) which might mention the 'small plane' blocking runway 20. I wonder if maybe you know of an alternative source that does say something more specific about that? Thanks, Rodney Baggins (talk) 08:45, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
