San Diego Zoo
Please do not remove the "United States" link from articles as you did with the San Diego Zoo article; I reverted that removal, since it is relevant to specify the nation, and you reverted again, even though your FAQ says, "If you revert, and place "United States" back into the article, don't worry, I won't edit war with you over this issue." You're edit-warring. Please stop. Omnedon (talk) 15:12, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You are constantly accusing others of assuming bad faith. In this case, this article was on my watchlist; you made a change with which I disagreed, and I reverted it.  You are now calling me a stalker and wikihound; you are the one who is assuming bad faith and launching personal attacks.  You need to learn to have discussions with people about issues instead of stubbornly calling them names. Omnedon (talk) 16:01, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring
In your FAQ, you now state, essentially, that you will engage in edit warring if you find it necessary. This is absolutely against the way Wikipedia is supposed to work, as is another statement you make in your FAQ: "I'm not changing my mind, so any discussion is futile, and redundant." If you are going to participate in Wikipedia you must be willing to discuss. If you don't wish to discuss this here, it can be discussed elsewhere with or without you. Please participate; thanks. Omnedon (talk) 18:39, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Regarding this recent edit I would ask you one last time to discuss this issue, and to stop assuming bad faith by calling me a stalker and a wikihound. If you refuse to deal with this, I'll have little choice but to take this issue up elsewhere, and I would suggest that your behavior will not be viewed positively.  Thanks. Omnedon (talk) 01:48, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You my friend are the one who is perusing my edit history looking for edits in which to revert simply because you don't like them. Although you lack any policy or consensus decision that supports you. Please stay away from pages that I am editing. You can't tell me you had this hole in the wall high school on your watch list too. I don't go around reverting your edits and I wish that you afford me the same courtesy. Your behavior is disrupting my enjoyment of editing wikipedia.--Jojhutton (talk) 12:32, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * So you are saying you enjoy removing pertinent information from articles? You may feel that having the "United States" link is not necessary, and that's your opinion; but why do you insist on actually removing it and claiming that some policy supports you?  Why is it so offensive to you to have that link in articles?  Since Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, it makes sense to mention the nation in an article about a place.  Not everyone in the world is going to automatically know these things.  Yes, the nation can be discovered by clicking on a city's link; but I still don't see why you feel it is actually wrong to include the link.  In your eyes it is more than is necessary; but surely it hurts nothing to include it.  Our goal here, surely, should be to improve the encyclopedia for the reader.  How does your action do this?  That's the real question.  How does removing "United States" make an article better for the reader? Omnedon (talk) 13:11, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I will ignore the insult. BUT ONLY ONCE! As far as wikipedia being an international encyclopedia, articles are to be written in the common language of the country it is being written about. We don't use British English for every article nor are articles written in purely American English. The local spellings and idioms are respected.
 * As I said before, unless you have some policy or linked consensus to say that every article should be written "your way" then stay off articles that I am editing and please leave me no more messages on my talk page. Any more deference from this request will only be interpreted as continued stalking. --Jojhutton (talk) 00:05, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * "Local spellings and idioms" are irrelevant to what we are discussing. Specifying the nation in which a place exists has nothing to do with local spelling or with "idiom".  If it did, then you would not expect to see the nation specified for places in, say, Zimbabwe or New Zealand or Iceland, and you expect an article about Austria on the English Wikipedia to be written in German because it is about a place where German is spoken; but that's not how it works, as you know.  By your logic, you should also not specify the US state (or city) in which the San Diego Zoo exists, because you would assume that everyone will just know that it's in San Diego, California; yet you do not remove this information -- only the nation.  You are purposely removing relevant information from articles, and you are the one that should find some way to support your action, or else cease.  Thanks. Omnedon (talk) 04:38, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * For the record, I have no problem with most of your edits, and I do believe that your intent is to improve the encyclopedia (just as mine is). I do not call you names, nor do I assume bad faith on your part.  I simply disagree that removing "United States" from United States place-related articles improves them; and I would suggest to you that leaving the "United States" in place does no harm based on your position, and improves the article based on mine.  Can we not find some common ground here? Omnedon (talk) 04:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I agree
Hi. I agree with you about the revert at WP:NCGN. If there is no response, are you willing to file an ANI about it? I will watch for a reply here, thanks. --Born2cycle (talk) 00:21, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd rather not do a whole ani on this. Yet I wouldn't rule it out completely belts hope that t editor decides to do the right thing and follow policy rather than go beyond it.Jojhutton (talk) 13:45, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * On my talk page, the claim was made that this revert was justified due to an edit war allegedly going on since Dec 6. I've left a detailed analysis of the edit history of that page explaining how that was not so.  --Born2cycle (talk) 20:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem was that other edits that had nothing to do with the current dispute were also reverted, leading me to believe that there may be anterior motives to the fully protected revert. Alas, I digress. I plan to revert the edit as soon as the article becomes available to edit. I do, however, have no opinion on the dispute as I have only briefly looked it over. That does not, however, excuse the fact that a fully protected page was edited against policy. Jojhutton (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

My note at Night in the Museum
Hello Jojhutton. I wanted to let you know that I made my post on the talk page for the NatM's is an attempt to cover all of our bases. In my five plus years here I have seen admins who would consider the IP's removal of (uncredited) as a content dispute and not vandalism. Thus, my post gives us the ability to point out that the IP is edit warring and not responding to requests to explain their editing. Hopefully, if they continue then they will be blocked for blanking vandalism but we now have options if they don't. BTW I don't want you to get dinged for 3rr so I have added the page to my watchlist to be able to help with future protection. Thanks for your vigilance in helping to protect wikipedia and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 18:49, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops forgot to mention that I have already added a 3rr warning to the IP's talk page. MarnetteD | Talk 18:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Completely understood. I knew where you were going, even if my message wasn't very clear. Sorry. Otherwise, its not a big huge deal as far as that page goes. The final warning seems to have cooled the ip, but who knows at this point. Besides in my opinion, I think the experience of two veteran editors sorta trumps an ips removal of information, especially without an edit summary.--Jojhutton (talk) 18:55, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note and your understanding. Hopefully normal (whatever that is :->) and happy editing will fill the rest of your day. MarnetteD | Talk 19:02, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Notability regarding Obama Tucson speech
Hello, You expressed the opinion that much of the material in the article, specifically about the writing of the speech, is "not notable". The general notability guideline says that topics that have been discussed in depth in reliable, independent sources are considered to be notable. The references in this article amply demonstrate its notability. Historians who win Pulitzer Prizes and write presidential biographies are indisputably reliable sources for determining the notability of a given presidential speech. The process of writing a notable speech is part of encyclopedic coverage of such a speech. Presidential speeches have been topics of genuine interest by students of U.S. history ever since George Washington. Requiring that presidential speeches be somehow as famous as the Gettysburg Address sets an impossibly high threshold, and is not a reasonable notability guideline for articles about such speeches. If the article survives AfD, it can and will be improved. In conclusion, I respectfully request that you reconsider you opposition to this article. Thank you.

I was just editing away and this happened.

Picture
I noticed you reverted the edit of Gayendorff on Pope John Paul II. (His edit was adding a picture.) You commented "Please provide more information on the talk page for this pic addition." I was just wondering what you found wrong with this picture especially since when he put the same pic on Pope John Paul II assassination attempt you reverted it and warned him about vandalism.Etineskid (talk) 22:47, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * it wasn't so much the picture, but the caption referring to the other person as his future attempted assassin. Pretty sure that that person never attempted to assassinate the Pope. Most likely a vandal just trying to be cute. I've seen it before.

San Diego Zoo
There definitely have been some attempts at "humor" in listing the animals at the Zoo. However it is much less than the vandalism on some other pages I watch. I'm thinking it is still at a level that can be handled by a few attentive article-watchers. And maybe we should be a little more aggressive about posting vandalism or joke warnings on their talk pages? About deleting the lists of animals, I don't think I'd favor that - even though as you say the info is completely unverified, and also likely to be changing all the time as animals are acquired, sold, and die. The lists still seem to me to be (like the Planet Earth in the Hitchhiker's Guide) "mostly harmless." However, it might be an interesting idea to bring up on the talk page. Thanks for keeping such a good eye on a subject dear to many hearts! --MelanieN (talk) 16:25, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

TESB and ROTJ
Please don't start an edit war over something that you are obviously incorrect over. These tho films have always been released with the full titles including episode numbers. Marketing is another thing, and even then you'd still be incorrect, as you're leaving off the "Star Wars:" before each one. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 19:22, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You have shown me nothing that would be considered proof that the original release titles of the movies were in fact the full titles that you are suggesting. This is based solely on your own interpretation of the Primary source material. Also as a side item. You should only use WP:Rollback to revert vandalism and it appears thet you may have misused it on one occasion. If you want, we can go to arbitration over this matter, but without a plethora of sources to back up your claim, I don't see how it would matter, since your single 1980 source cannot and will not overrule the hundreds of thousands of secondary sources that say exactly the opposite.--Jojhutton (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * This discussion is now over: original copyright records for the films show the full titles. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Case closed. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 19:50, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

February 2011
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Irvin Kershner. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 14:36, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
 * 3) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * actually you specifically requested an additional citation and I provided one. Then you warn me about 3RR when you made the same about of recessions and removal if sources to the same article. Looks as if you are trying to use a warning template as a way to win a discussion. TSK TSK. Jojhutton (talk) 14:59, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

May I edit on a news story?
I just heard on the radio that the actress who played Melanie in Gone with the Wind died, if it turns out to have been a faux report, my apology's. Tinki Winki (talk) 23:52, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It can only be added if it is accompanied by an inline citation. Just because you heard it on the radio, doesn't mean it can be verified by anyone who reads the article.--Jojhutton (talk) 23:55, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Alright and my apology's, I take such matters about one of my most favourite of actresses very seriously too!, It was an honest error. Tinki Winki (talk) 00:00, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I like her too,which is why she is on my watch list. Yet you see wikipedia gets a reputation for not being accurate because anyone can add anything they want. Well thats only half true. Wikipedias policy is that anyone can edit, but there are policies and guidelines that determine how to edit. One of the biggies is verifiability. Especially when it comes to potentially libelous and damaging information. I give you credit for contacting me and asking for clarification. I looked online and couldn't find anything, but that doesn't mean its not true. My advice to you is to keep looking through the internet and something may turn up one way or another, but until it does she's still alive according to wikipedia. Just to let you know, we kept Richard Winters alive for ten extra days because no-one could confirm it with a source.--Jojhutton (talk) 00:08, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding this edit, there is an established consensus at the Baseball WikiProject not to link team names to team seasons in this matter.

Post on my Page
Hello Jojhutton,

what bestows me the honour (that's shi* or? got it from the dictionary) that you posted on my talk page? I'm not very much active in the English Wikipedia, more in German. But I also did some edits in the English Wikipedia of course (If I see errors), because I use the English Wikipedia as a Source in many cases I see quite a lot of errors or outdated information :) However, how did it come you choose me?

And by the way, is there no "sighting" needed generally in English Wikipedia? In German Wikipedia any change has to be checked by someone who got the right to "sight" changes, and some sites can be only changed by special stuff (I think pages like Adolf Hitler of course, George W. Bush and so on, problematic sites) but after a while if you fulfill some criterias (a number of correct edits, of which not many have been rejected) you get the status that your edits are "auto-sighted", thats my Status in German Wikipedia... here anyone can change everything?! Kilon22 (talk) 13:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You are correct. Anyone can edit the English Wikipedia. I'm not familiar with other versions and how they operate, but u can tell you that the English version has similar policies towards editing. You call it "auto-sighted" we call it "auto-confirmed". This means that a new user must have at least 10 edits and 3 days before they can edit "semi-protected" pages. Most pages on Wikipedia are not protected, so it's not hard to get the 10 edits you need. Your account seems to have achieved these goals, so congrats and I hope you have funJojhutton (talk) 13:41, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

1900
Right, but not quite for the right reason. The American League in 1900 was the renamed Western League, a minor league operating under the National Agreement. In 1901 they broke away from it and declared themselves a major league. If the NL champion had played the AL champion in 1900, it would be like if the 2009 New York Yankees had had a "world series" against the AAA champion Durham Bulls. If there were to have been any "world series" or equivalent in 1900, it would likely have been between the first and second place teams in the National League. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:04, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but there certainly wasn't a 1900 Chicago White Stockings season that played in the American League that year, which is what the article was alleging.--Jojhutton (talk) 17:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Such an article could theoretically be written, especially as the club won the league championship. But the 1900 season is typically considered a footnote, as the league made no claims to being major... although, if the National League weren't so clueless, they should have seen it coming. The question at this point is whether there was any kind of intra-league "world series" in 1900. I don't know the answer to that question. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:03, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It could be written for that team, but as you said, the team played in a minor league, so its best to keep the article focused on the major leagues or else we will open up a huge can of worms. As far as a series between the two leagues? I've never heard of any.--Jojhutton (talk) 18:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I meant intra-league as in the first and second place teams in the NL squaring off in a "world series", as they had several times during the 1890s. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

NL pennant winners links
I reverted the change for now as it'd be a pretty big shift in how we write baseball articles (but that's obviously easily undone if the project decides it likes the change). Posted a straw poll on the issue here to try and settle the matter. Staxringold talkcontribs 23:28, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * this was already resolved as the links were found appropriate.--Jojhutton (talk) 00:37, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing was "found", and there was no resolution as you claim. There is no finding of fact involved, only discussion which stagnated with no clear consensus. Perhaps you should read WP:CONSENSUS to see what's actually involved in generating one. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  00:49, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Only the two of you disagreed and apparently only the two of you don't think that there was a consensus against you. Not a coincidence, in fact in most cases I have seen, that would be labeled as disruptive. Time to get on with it. You didn't get support in the first consensus, so you try try again. How many times will you try until you get the result you are looking for?--Jojhutton (talk) 00:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Brent Noon
You removed two portions of the article, with no sourcing or documentation to support the removal. 1) you removed the word presumed, which was describing Noon's current status as retired. Is he, in fact, retired?  Has Noon made any announcement to that effect?  Do you have a source?  I've been looking for it for a while.  As I have documented in many other articles, athletes without results for a span of time can and do return, after drug suspensions, possible jail time or just after they get their head together.  So without specific documentation, all we can do is presume, so in an encyclopedic, truth in information sense, that word is quite appropriate. 2) you removed the fact that Randy Barnes was also suspended, actually a lifetime ban, for a second violations of performance enhancing drugs. Why is it relevant? As documented earlier in the article, Barnes was a mentor to Noon. He actually lived in the family house for a period of time. This isn't a court case, in the court of public opinion, guilt by association is significant. In the seedy, hidden world of PEDs, we report what is known. There is a clear association between the two stars at the time of both of their successes. Both were suspended. Barnes twice, a sourced statement (which you removed). Noon, the younger, now 39, has not participated (or been tested subsequently) since his ban went into effect. Trackinfo (talk) 17:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * First off, thanks for the article. I was looking for information on Noon and the article actually answered my questions. Sceondly, I removed "Presumed" for WP:BLP reasons. It is the job of the editor adding information to an article to provide the source, not the other way around. Third, as far as the Barnes removal goes, yes they have a connection, but the sources didn't confirm that their positive tests had anything to do with one another. Its undue weight and original research to attempt to connect the two without a specific citation that says so.--Jojhutton (talk) 17:43, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe "former" would work better. Although if he hasn't competed since the mid-1990s, it seems likely that he's as good as retired. The OP could have maybe gotten around the implications about Barnes by saying, "coincidentally". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ya, I found mentioning the Barnes banning as a bit odd,since the two bans were not connected, despite the other connection. As far as being retired, I hadn't realized that there weren't any sources proclaiming him retired, so it may in the best interests of BLP to still refer to him as active.--Jojhutton (talk) 18:11, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * When did he last compete? Was it in the mid-1990s? Keeping in mind that he turns 40 this year, although that didn't stop Al Oerter. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:13, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * In re-reading the stuff about Barnes, it's clearly an attempt to connect the dots between them, and does seem like "original synthesis" (which the OP actually acknowledges) unless there's a source that specifically links the two men. As you said. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:18, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I would be ok with refering to him as retired, given his inactivity, but would be more comfortable with a source, if you know what I mean?--Jojhutton (talk) 18:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Is "retired" better than "former"? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:37, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Not sure. They are on in the same as far as I know.--Jojhutton (talk) 18:44, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * With no sourcing, what is wrong with the original phrasing of presumed retired? He hasn't been active during his 30's, the peak years for many shot putters. His last official act with the sport was getting banned for 4 years in 1997 (expiring 2000), but I haven't found a source where he said he's retired.  Whether the word is there or not, sans sourcing, that is what we are doing. Trackinfo (talk) 18:52, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I like "former" better if the guy has never overtly announced retirement. I don't like "presumed" because that's an editorial comment. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:54, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict)"Presumed" may be appropriate in some cases, but I am personally concerned with WP:BLP in this case. If I was Noon, and I saw that, I might be offended. Either he's retired or not. Perhaps saying "inactive" may help.--Jojhutton (talk) 18:57, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, that's good. "Inactive" is verifiable by any reasonable use of the term. I think that's a winner. In fact, maybe it should become the standard for guys like Bonds who have not (as far as I know) officially retired, but have not been active for, say, 2 or more years. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:04, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, lets try inactive, because thats easily verifiable.--Jojhutton (talk) 19:34, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

The Fox and the Hound
The editor responsible has been chased to hell and gone for over three years now, socking through mobile networks. It wasn't a rash decision on my part. I commented at WP:ANI if you want to comment there.&mdash;Kww(talk) 01:35, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * In this case I'll have to quote exactly what WP:FULL says:
 * Brief periods of full protection are used in rare cases when a large number of autoconfirmed accounts are used to make a sustained vandalism attack on an article. Persistent vandalism, or the possibility of future vandalism for highly trafficked articles, rarely provides a basis for full-protection.
 * The key words are Sustained vandalism attack and Brief periods of full protection. Todays vandlism was not a sustained attack by auto-confirmed users, but was simple persistent vandalism.--Jojhutton (talk) 01:45, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There's no rush: even if you think a week would have been better, that won't make any difference for five days. Let's let the ANI discussion run a bit longer. LessHeardVanU and I seem to be aligned; you, MuzeMike, and N419BH seem to be aligned on the other. What would help persuade me would be if you could point out any harm that you expect the protection to cause. Looking at the history and the article, I would bet that protection or not, there wouldn't be any meaningful change in the article over the next 6 months. If it's just a philosophical issue, I can respect that too, but it obviously isn't as persuasive.&mdash;Kww(talk) 17:53, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with discussion, but my question was whether or not that the current ANI is the best, venue to continue the discussion. Perhaps AN would be best to get a better scope to the protection question. Jojhutton (talk) 18:48, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

MOS:FLAG
You'll be fighting a losing battle, because you'll have go through between 10,000-15,000 team articles worldwide where flags are used in infoboxes. MOS:FLAG says "As a rule of thumb, flag icons should not be used infoboxes", not "Flag icons should NEVER be used in infoboxes". It has been the standard practice for editors attached to the WP:FOOTY project to allow flag indicators in team infoboxes because editors and readers consider the nationality of owners/coaches to be integral to the identity of the team, and something that is important to convey. It won't just be me - every time you try to remove flags, a footy editor will revert you immediately. JonBroxton (talk) 01:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Well it looks as if I have a lot of edits to get done. Its best you don't revert back against the guideline, unless you have a policy, guideline, or previous consensus discussion that supersedes MOS:FLAG. And by the way, EVERY guideline says a rule of thumb, or should probably follow, so its pointy to try and twist the guidelines wording to work in the favor of flags.--Jojhutton (talk) 01:13, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no written policy, it's just standard practice, and has been for years and years. I'm not twisting the words - just following the spirit. Unless something is explicitly forbidden, there should be leeway to not follow the manual of style, if not following it allows information that is important to the topic at hand to be conveyed. After all, Wiki is supposed to be useful. I don't know how much you know about soccer, but nationality issues are very important to the sport due to its world-wide scope. Indicating the nationality of the coach in the infobox can, in many cases, allow readers familiar with the sport to quickly have an insight into the way the team plays, amongst other things. Again - this isn't just a "me" thing. This is a project-wide thing amongst the vast majority of soccer editors across the world. JonBroxton (talk) 01:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Still, I would feel more comfortable with something that was written and in concrete detail. Even a past consensus I could respect, but without anything other than, it's just standard practice, I can't see how the guideline should not be followed. I was looking through WP:FOOTY for a few minutes, hoping to find something that would say that would say that the flags should be in the infoboxes, but couldn't find anything, but I'll keep looking. This template is from the wikiproject on clubs and doesn't say anything about having flags in the info boxes.
 * I'm not trying to be difficult with you, I am just a strict follower of policy and guidelines and try and clean up the wiki as best as can, when I can. Perhaps you should try and get some guideline or consensus passed at the wikiproject, so as to have something to link to when this occurs again.--Jojhutton (talk) 01:32, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, It was recently suggested that WikiProject US Presidents might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 02:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

a request
Your comment was indented so it looks like you are replying to my comment, the comment that started this thread? When you left it did it occur to you that it looks like you meant to imply that I was one of those who took one stand WRT allegations against Al Gore, and took the opposite position here.

For there to be hypocrisy participants on Herman Cain or Talk:Herman Cain would have had to have taken opposite positions wrt the allegations against Gore and those against Cain.

Actually, your comment is the first I have heard of these allegations against Gore. If the allegations against Gore were covered in RS, if Gore replied to them, and I had known about them I would have argued for their inclusion.

BLP doesn't say this kind of material can't covered, in a neutral, non-sensational manner -- provided it is backed up by sufficient RS.

If no one here took different sides in the two discussions, there was no hypocrisy. If someone did take opposite sides, they may have had a genuine change of heart over the last year. The discussion last year may have changed their mind.

May I suggest that if you felt challenging hypocrites was appropriate it would be better to have challenged them via their talk pages. Are you going to hold it against anyone who took a stand a year ago, and had a genuine change of heart? Geo Swan (talk) 22:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, just a general comment on the ways and means of wikipedia consensus building. And if you had never heard of the Gore allegations, then I guess the vocal minority rewrote history successfully.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  22:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Nah. I don't think so.  Cain's hush money has made the evening news on the BBC and CBC for night after night.  It is an international story.  If Gore's story was of comparable impact I am sure I would have heard of it.


 * Did Gore pay hush money?


 * If you go back to the Al Gore article, and find that vocal minority is still pushing for excision, let me know and I will voice my support for inclusion. Geo Swan (talk) 23:24, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

 * With all due respect, its not that I was trying to ignore you. Sorry my reply comes so late. As far as the article goes, there's no right or wrong way to format an article. Articles do not need to look the same as others, although some people like to see consistancy throughout.

Flags
I thought better of you, to be honest. There's a discussion ongoing, in which you have admitted that there's no consensus to remove flags from these article infoboxes. There is no prohibition in the MOS, and you have failed to produce any part of the MOS anywhere that prohibits these flags. Don't start an edit war, for everybody's sake. Bretonbanquet (talk) 14:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think much of your edit summary either. Who do you think you are? You don't get to enforce any rules, particularly in cases where it is YOU who are not following them. Provide evidence that these flags are prohibited in the MOS or just leave the damn articles alone. Bretonbanquet (talk) 14:47, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Broadway Open House
Tape did not exist then. Tape was not used by CBS and NBC until 1967. There are a few kinescopes of "Broadway Open House". However, my point is that one cannot use present tense when talking about a 1950-51 live TV series which does not exist. Two or three representative shows that do exist do not change this fact. Pepso2 (talk) 18:04, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That does not and should not change the fact that the show can still be viewed today. The MOS makes no distinction, to my knowledge, between live shows filmed on kinescopes and later shows taped.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  18:13, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The series cannot be viewed today. It does not exist. Pepso2 (talk) 23:07, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

The flag was before the Alexa figures for the main market which is the united states. If you're goint to remove things like that then please replace at least with the name.

 * Hey that's great, knock yourself out. Just know that MOS:FLAG only discourages the use of flags in the info box and not in banners at the top of some users talk page, or in lists in the body of articles. One of your previous statements just made me feel that you took absolutely no time to read the MOS at all and I really have no time to waste on comments like that.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  17:04, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I view your action to remove the flag as a positive action on your part. You are not driven by the MOS to go around doing anything about it but you did. That's why I put in the original comment about the seeming inconsistency. Dmcq (talk) 17:22, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Tom Mix
Yes, I stuck the picture in there when I wrote the article a couple of years or so ago because, even though it was from a much earlier film, it would let people know what Tom Mix looked like since he's being lost in the mists of time. Not improper to remove it, though, of course, and I knew someone would do so eventually. It's a rare picture that can stay up long in Wikipedia. Upsmiler (talk) 06:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Harold Dean
I have reverted your edit because the consensus is that it is only necessary to identify the type of football where there is possible confusion with American football, etc. As Dean's two match career was all in England there is no confusion. Your apparent logic would require every single article (of which there are tens of thousands) about any player of American Football, "Soccer", Australian Rules football, Gaelic Football and any variety I've forgotten, to have this spelt out in the lead. Can I suggest that rather than play games with the Harold Dean article, you explain your logic at this discussion. Thankyou. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 07:12, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Please place Talk header only where appropriate
Why are you creating pages just to add Talk header? This notice is posted:

The template's documentation makes the point further by saying:
 * Talk pages that attract frequent or perpetual debate, articles often subject to controversy, and/or recent-and-highly-visible topics are usually appropriate for this template. Calm talk pages do not need this template.
 * In accordance with Wikipedia:Talk page layout, this template should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages. That changes the "discussion" tab at the top of the page from a "redlink" into a "bluelink", which may mislead people into thinking there is discussion.

There is even a WikiProject that removes Talk header from all but the most controversial pages. Given the clear language of these guidelines, (and unless I'm missing something), I'd ask you to stop placing this template on talk pages. Senator2029 ║  talk  18:47, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The talk headers are informative messages at the top of talk pages, giving users and readers brief guidelines on how to use the talk page. Every talk page is a potential for discussion, not just controversial or frequently debated ones.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  18:54, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, every talk page has the potential for discussion. However, the guidelines specifically address this, and state, "this template should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages." If you disagree with this, please discuss the issue and obtain consensus for a re-write the of usage guideline.  Senator2029  ║  talk  04:39, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You have stated twice that In accordance with Wikipedia:Talk page layout, this template should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages. This, in accordance to Talk header. But Wikipedia:Talk page layout, says no such thing. So its not really in accordance to anything.
 * I've been adding these templates for years, and you are the first person who has ever thought it wrong. If I stopped making improvements and changes to Wikipedia every time someone disapproved, I wouldn't be making any changes at all. Honestly, these templates are not disrupting the project as much as you feel they are.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  13:25, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

England: 17 December 2011
Clearly there is a difference between Jojhutton (US Citizen)and Hayden120 (Australian Citizen) on the one hand; and myself - Synaptic peach (UK Citizen/English born-bred) about the semantics describing the geography at the time referred to in Prehistory. In fact it is common for the term Britain to describe the whole of the British Isles. Moreover the other expressions used (France, Spain) simply did not exist at the time of the Roman invasion (which might be regarded as the end of pre-history in the context of geo-political development of England). If the article had been written using descriptions that might have been extant at that time, reference would have been made to Britannia, Hibernia, Caledonia, Gaul, Hispania and so on. However I didn't author this section and was correcting what seems to be tautology in the usage of modern place-names. "Great Britain" is a place-name that should not be confused with the simple term "Britain". The former is rightly a political geography term that describes certain parts of the British Isles as in "Great Britain and N.Ireland".

I've now rewritten the section to eliminate some of the nonsense and put things in a better perspective. That includes separating stuff about languages from a piece about metallurgy. The original wasn't very well constructed...! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Synaptic peach (talk • contribs) 21:13, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2

Inaccurate statement in something you said at WP:ANI
Jojhutton, at ANI, you stated "The only reason I would see for Jayron asking for this ban is to keep PMAnderson from voicing opposing opinions to his/her own." Please revise this statement. I have never been involved in a content discussion with PMA. I have never, as in not even once, been in conflict with him over any such issue. Your statement implies that I am trying to keep him from disagreeing with me in such discussions. Since I have never (as in never meaning not even one time in the history of Wikipedia) been involved in such discussions with him, that is simply not possible. I have no objections to you voting "Oppose" in the discussion. I fully support your right to do so. But you have stated a blatant untruth in your rationale, something which is demonstratedly not true, and I would appreciate if you revised your rationale to remove your statement that implies that I have a vested interest in seeing such a ban enacted on PMAnderson. I do not; since no article or area of Wikipedia I work in has ever overlapped with his work, and we have never had any direct contact except in discussions about his behavior, your speculation as to my motivation isn't possible. My motivation in starting the discussion is to stop disruption to Wikipedia. -- Jayron  32  20:38, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That is why I said, "The only reason I would see for Jayron asking...", instead of saying "The only reason Jayron is asking...". I purposely stated it as my opinion, not as a fact. It's still my opinion and I see nothing in the text or on any message board, that would change my opinion, so I see no reason for revising my opinion at this time.

 * It's a shame. If you are going to accuse me of impropriety, it would be nice if you backed up those accusations with evidence.  If you are going to publicly state that your opinion is that I have behaved improperly, it would be nice if you provided evidence to support that opinion.  -- Jayron  32  01:50, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Association football
Hi there. There is no need to remove piping links to 'association football' - i.e. changing from football to just association football. This is especially incorrect with players - no player would ever be described as an 'association footballer', they are a 'footballer' (unless they are US/Canadian/Australian, in which case it would be soccer regardless). Cheers, GiantSnowman 15:55, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Football has other meanings outside of England. Its too confusing. It needs to be disambiguated from other forms of the sport.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  15:56, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you familiar with WP:ENGVAR? Because in most countries that use British-English, "association football" is rarely, if ever, used. The sport is football and the people who play it are footballers. GiantSnowman 16:02, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thats fine, but the term Football is not owned by association football, but has many meanings outside of the sport. In any country in which each particular incarnation of Football is played, the locals usually just call their sport Football, not by the dismbiguated name. But this being an international encyclopedia, the shorter localized version can be too confusing to many readers.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  16:06, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You're missing the point. Piping - football - is not only fine, it's actively encouraged over at WP:FOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 16:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * So you are arguing that the wikiproject made a decision to own the term football? Even the wikiprojects name is not neutral, and appears to claim ownership of a word that has many meanings all over the world. And I fail to see how WP:ENGVAR somehow denotes ownership of the word Football to one particular variety of the game.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  16:22, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Who's claiming ownership?! I've never said that once, stop being so ridiculous. It's clearly obvious within the context of the articles what sport it refers to. Btw I'm not the only one to disagree with your edits - - and if you want to take this for wider discussion, please feel free. GiantSnowman 16:25, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It may be obvious to you, but not to everyone who reads the articles. What part of WP:ENGVAR supports using the term short term Football only, while all other sports have to use the longer disambiguated terms? Since you brought it up?-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  16:30, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The very first example that ENGVAR gives is "soccer vs. football" - I think that's enough to rest my case. GiantSnowman 16:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Not really,since we are discussing Association Football vs American Football, Australian Rules Football, Canadian Football, ect...-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  16:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Uh, no we're not. This is about an article related to association football, and whether it should be called 'association football' or 'football'. GiantSnowman 16:36, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, in order to disambiguate it from other forms of the sport. Don't lose focus. If there were no other sports called Football, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. So why should association football articles use only the term football, while all others have to disambiguate? Why does the wikiproject WP:Football get to use the term football while, for example, the American Football wikiproject WikiProject American football, have to disambiguate?-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  16:46, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

But it's already disambiguated, isn't it - all you are doing is removing the piping, which violated ENGVAR, as (as I have said multiple times), the sport in British-English is never called 'association football'. The sport is not in question here. Did you really look at the article on the Southern Football League and think it referred togridiron?! The other sports don't have to do anything - if you want to edit an article on a NFL player, and put football then go for it. As for the name of the WikiProject, I suspect it's partly a case of first come, first serve, and partly a case of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. GiantSnowman 16:53, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation would read Association football, not Football with a pipe link. Yes, one could hover over the link and see what the pipe link really is, unless of course that person is using a mobile device (ie: Smart Phone, iPad), which happens more and more these days. Or they are reading a physical transcript without links, or an off wiki website that is quoting Wikipedia. I understand that personally your first instinct when seeing the word Football is to associate it with Association Football, but many people, outside of Britain, would see Football and think of a completely different sport. Pipe links are fine, but can be way too confusing, especially when the word(s) have so many other meanings. The first mention of the sport should always be a direct link to the sport, while subsequent mentions could easily use the shorter Football. And yes, I originally thought that the Southern Football League was American Football. You can't tell me that American Football is not played in Britain. It really could have been an American Football league. There is nothing in the lead that would have lead me to believe differently. I understand that from your point of view, its simple, but your point of view is not the only one reading the article. Others read these article too. -- JOJ  <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  17:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * My interpretation of WP:DAB seems to support me, but you're more than welcome (as I'm sure you will do) to disagree. No, actually, my first instinct when seeing 'football' is to locate it within its context - so if I saw football on an article about a NFL player, I'd know it wasn't referring to soccerball. But 'football' refers to 'association football' in the VAST majority of the world - it is, after all, the most popular sport in the world, whereas gridiron is pretty much limited to North America. You say that "The first mention of the sport should always be a direct link to the sport" - well it is. If the reader is unsure, they can click on the link and it will take them staright through to the correct article. Your removal of the pipe doesn't affect that. GiantSnowman 17:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I am glad that your first instinct is to locate the context of the term Football within the article. You are a very rare person indeed, but most people don't have your divine intellect and will not always do as you do. I must admit that I'm just not as smart as you are then. Bravo.
 * Not sure what exactly in WP:DAB you are referring to. Its a large guideline, and appears to spend most of the page discussing articles and disambiguation pages. There is a small line about Football, but appears to be in reference to creating articles, not linking to them. Again, I'm not as smart as you, so could you help me out and perhaps explain it a little more?
 * And I'm all for certain pipe links, but if I am reading the article straight out, and still cannot determine from the text, which type of football the article is referencing, without needing to click on a link, then perhaps the article has a problem.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  17:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Regarding WP:DAB, in the introduction it says "Making the links for ambiguous terms point to the correct article title", and their example would is Mercury - yet you would not pipe that, in case someone mistook the planet for the element, for example. Regarding your last point, are you honestly telling me that you couldn't tell that Southern Football League was referring to association football? It's a question I've asked before, and never received and answer... GiantSnowman 17:53, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought that you may have been referring to the Mercury example. It's fair to assume that you feel this way for all Football articles?
 * I thought I had made it fairly obvious that I did think that the article Southern Football League was about American Football. There is nothing in the text that described which type of Football, the league played, unlike the article Premier League, which states it very clearly in the first sentence.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  18:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe in consistency, as does the community, and community precedent supports me - all the articles named "(footballer)" for association football players, for example. GiantSnowman 18:28, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant all football articles, not just what you consider football.-- JOJ <sup style="color:#CC9900;">Hutton  18:37, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * So did I. GiantSnowman 18:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
