Assesment
It'd be useful, though I don't have/use AWB. I'm just using tabs from monobook.js that auto-add a start tag and nifty edit summary, or copy-pasting the |class=. Open up 5 firefox tabs at a time and I go pretty fast. --PresN 05:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Islamophobia
Thanks for the link Jacoplane. I have to admit that I actually didn't knew that such a report was released these days, and I appreciate that you mention it to me. There is of course no doubt that we can mention something from that report in the article, but unfortunately my "wikitime" is still a bit limited... I'll read the "highlights" though and properly some selected parts of the report itself, and see what I can do about it. -- Karl Meier 17:21, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Tweede Kamermembers-templates
Hi! With the creation of these templates like Template:D66 Tweede Kamer members you seem to imply that, like the Dutch wikipedia, the English wikipedia should have a page for each Dutch MP. Did you imply this? Because if you do I have some doubts whether that is a good thing to want and to enact now (seen the development of other articles on Dutch politcs). C mon 18:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You are only citing the secondary criterion, the primary criterion is that "newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, scholarly papers, and television documentaries" should be made about these persons. Furthermore the current policy implies that we can also make an article about each member of a Provinciale Staten.
 * My doubts are dual:
 * Should we intend to create an article on each Dutch MP is it worth the trouble? Are readers searching for this? Interested? I can see why the Dutch wikipedia has an article on each MP. But on the english wikipedia it seems logical to create articles on fractievoorzitters, ministers etc. instead of on MPs.
 * Should we do it now. Seen the state of the rest of the field, articles are lacking on Dutch ministers, ministries, cabinets, etc. I would prefer to concentrate my energy there instead of on MPs.
 * C mon 19:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * First off I do think it is interesting to create small articles on more MPs, the current selection is very concentrated. It will also be an interesting way to create some coordination in articles on (politics of) the Netherlands, as the wikiproject we both signed onto also intended. But I have to note that most MPs are backbenchers, which will not become minister or state secretary, or reach foreign media, it is questionable whether many will gain prominence in the Dutch media. So I am not sure whether to create an article on each of the 150.C mon 20:00, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: GuildCafe
I've nominated the article GuildCafe for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that GuildCafe satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/GuildCafe. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of GuildCafe during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarinth (talk • contribs)

Image:Alizee.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Alizee.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. MECU ≈ talk 02:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Johann Hari pic
Hi JacoPlame - The picture of Johann Hari that you agreed to post has now been given the correct copyright-free status at flickr:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/75377964@N00/?saved=1

It turns out the picture of Hari currently on the article is not actually him (I e-mailed him, and he looked at it and informed me of this - see the discussion page) so as soon as you could correct it, that would be great.

It's probably best not to unfreeze the page though. There is still no consensus since the user Felix-Felix, who has in the past inserted libellous falsehoods and the current fake picture into the entry, is refusing any offers of a compromise. As you can see if you check out the discussion page, he has declared that he wants to unilaterally delete any of the critics he disagrees with, and wants to quote only the one group he happens to agree with, Medialens. David r from meth productions 17:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jacoplane-the flickr picture of Hari is genuine, as I think I've established here My position was always that this picture should stay in the article-even after the portrait photo is non-copyvio, which other editors supported too. Could it be replaced?Felix-felix 10:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Ralphbaer.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ralphbaer.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU ≈ talk 20:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

CVG IBMaker
Thanks for finding those bugs! I've updated the page to 1.07 now. Also, for future suggestions/bugs, a while back I made this page, which adds some context to the actual page and has a space for comments. Might also be better to change the link on WP:CVG to that (which I appreciate you adding, never got around to it myself).

Thanks again! --ADeveria 23:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Tagging articles
Hey, one of my personal projects is going through and rating all of the unrated cvg articles. over the last few months I (and some other people) have brought it down from 6000+ to less than 800... so imagine my surprise when look at it today and see that over 400 new articles have been tagged!

GuildCafe
It appears that the closing admin decided to delete GuildCafe. As the original creator of the article, you may wish to ask them to userify the article to your space, because it is likely that there would be additional independent media coverage over the next couple of months that would justify its re-creation, and it may be worth preserving the edit history.

Government simulation game
On an unrelated note, and since you're quire active on the CVG subjects, I was hoping you might take a peek at Government simulation game. This is an article that I rescued from nearly-certain AfD deletion about a week ago, and have since completely rewritten with new content and a lot of sources.

I'd love it if you had any comments/contributions to this article. I think it could eventually become a good article on the genre. Tarinth 20:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Your help with Felix-Felix
Hi JacoPlame - I wanted to get your advice. Felix-Felix, who has been trying to negatively change Johann Hari's wiki entry for ages, appears to have crossed a line.

He now claims Johann Hari advocates "the detruction of untermenschen", and has started saying it is not anti-Semitic to say "Jews rule the world". He has inserted libellous falsehoods into the article, including the claim hari went to Harrow School, one of the most expensive public schools in britain, when i fact he is from a workign class family.

I think there is a strong case for banning him from editing Johann Hari's entry since he clearly is motivated by extreme malice. Who do I appeal to to get him banned? What is the process for this?

A category that needs alot of CVG tags
The articles in Category:Computer and video game characters by game need alot, I've added some manually. If you could use AWB (since I don't have it/don't use it) that would be appreciated. RobJ1981 21:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That was quick, thanks. Here is another which I don't think is all tagged: Category:Computer and video game characters. The subcategories at the top, as well as the articles listed below that. I've done some of the articles at the bottom, so that will save you some time. RobJ1981 22:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well as I was looking through some articles, I noticed plenty didn't even talk pages. Here is another category that should provide many untagged CVG articles: Category:Computer and video game genres. Lots of sub-cats as well. I think this could go faster, if more people used AWB. I would use AWB, but I'm trying to cut back on Wikipedia.. I spend too much time here. RobJ1981 08:15, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Category:Computer and video game websites. I went through some, and found they didn't have talk pages at all. I'm assuming there is more untagged in that category. RobJ1981 05:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well here is a pretty big category with lots of sub-cats (many untagged articles to find I bet): Category:Computer and video games. Don't feel pressured to do all of these at once (unless AWB is quick), I'm just posting them so you know about them. RobJ1981 06:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Niet van iedereen, van recente jaren kan je er bijvoorbeeld niets vinden. Na 1984 kon ik er van Feyenoord bijvoorbeeld niets meer op vinden, waardoor ik fair use afbeeldingen ben gaan zoeken op andere sites met een mooie summary, maar daar zijn inmiddels toch al vraagtekens bij geplaatst en (tijdelijk?) uit het artikel verwijderd. Je moet trouwens wel een beetje slim zoeken. Bij Feyenoord was het bijvoorbeeld zo dat ze de ene keer Feyenoord en de andere keer Feijenoord gebruikten, niet alleen na 1974, maar ook ver daarvoor. Ook als je bijvoorbeeld zoekt op Rinus Michels, dan krijg je niet alle foto's van hem te zien, aangezien er ook foto's staan waar hij alleen met Michels wordt beschreven, dus zonder Rinus. Dus een beetje puzzelen moet je nog wel, maar ja het is een mooie site inderdaad :) SportsAddicted | discuss  00:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Pas even op met de URL die je meegeeft. Om de een of andere reden verschijnt er een andere foto wanneer je de URL aanklikt, zo ook bij de door jou geuploade foto van Piet de Visser bij RWDM. Ik merkte dat het bij Jan van Breda Kolff ook het geval was, dus ik heb bij de Feyenoord afbeeldingen de URL van het directe plaatje eindigend op .jpg gegeven in plaats van de html pagina waar deze op stond.

Fair use rationale for Image:Goldeneyesource.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Goldeneyesource.png. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as or , 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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.

Hi Jacoplane! I see that you have just removed the oldest entry from Template:In the news. I have left a comment about this edit at Template talk:In the news.

Most of the time it's just maintenance or glaring errors that I feel compelled to fix. There are certain articles for both Bond and CVG I look at, but I haven't checked my watchlist since maybe September of last year. :/ I'm trying.

Hi
Hi. Its been a long time since we last conversed. How are you? I was on a self imposed sabbatical and I think I am now ready to wake up from my long hibernation. And resume the task of improving the Alizee article, though I realize until her third album comes out there wont be much to write about. Meanwhile, I thought of few areas where it can be improved upon.
 * 1) In the Career section, the third para (which talks about the single L'Alize) can be expanded to speak of her other two singles from the first album.
 * 2) In the same way, coverage of her second album could be expanded to two or three paragraphs.
 * 3) Rather than having the information about her tour/live mentioned in passing, we can have a paragraph or two speaking about accumulated statistics about the concert attendances, promotion as well as market stats about the live album.

And if the section becomes too large, we can split the section into two subsections - one for studio albums and the other for live performances, and can throw in info regarding her non-tour performances as well. Also, two-three paragraphs per album seems to me as a good way to set up the prelude to the albums' own articles.

If you agree with the necessity, I will start working on it (since I was lying low for quite sometime, I may not be in a good position to judge what path other editors' are taking for this article, and thats why I am asking for your opinion; I am not seeing much work done, though :D). And if you need any help converting the inline refs to cite webs, just tell me. Regards, -- soum সৌমো yasch  19:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * On other thoughts, the page will undergo quite a significant restructuring once her new album comes out. So, it may not be a bad idea not to disturb it till then (which, I hope, is not too far, btw :P). What do you think? -- soum সৌমো yasch  18:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
