User talk:KPalicz

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (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).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

The archivist and creators' rights activist in me wishes that every comic-book illustration we put on Wikipedia could have the artist and source credited. I greatly appreciate your work adding images, but could you provide this information in the future? Thanks. -leigh (&#966;&#952;&#8057;&#947;&#947;&#959;&#962;) 01:23, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)

Userbox
Hi there KPalicz; I think you still have some bugs to work out in your userbox. I'd also encourage you to be careful in editing other user's user pages; not everyone is who you'd expect. -- AlexWCovington  (talk) 20:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I would love to create a template for discrimination against young people that would include Ageism, Adultism, Adultcentrism, Fear of childbirth, Fear of children and Fear of youth. Is that a legit creation? - Freechild 07:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Yer a punk, replying to a conversation I tried to start almost a year ago. Jeez. For what its worth, I know now that I could write up an article on youth liberation in a New York minute, and that it would stick to the wall with no problem. I think I've almost got this process down to a science man, and, well, yeah. Maybe that'll be my project tonight. • Freechild   'sup?   23:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hirez NYRA color.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hirez NYRA color.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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. 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 19:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:GreenGoblinMovie.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:GreenGoblinMovie.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Teen dating violence
I noticed that you had redirected "teen dating violence" to "dating abuse." I also noted that there was consensus with your actions but would ask that you please undo this change. While "dating abuse" is a term used by some groups, its use is in the minority. Below is some data supporting my claim.

United States (the U.S. leads the world in efforts to identify and prevent this problem and so the majority of the literature and research is necessarily skewed toward U.S.-based organizations)


 * Congress has proclaimed "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month" to be the month of February (http://www.ncjrs.gov/teendatingviolence/)
 * Other Federal legislation also uses this phrase (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-789)
 * States also use this phrase for legislation:
 * Texas(http://www.house.state.tx.us/news/release.php?id=2142)
 * National Conference of State Legislatures (http://www.ncsl.org/?tabid=17582)
 * the Centers for Disease Control uses this phrase (http://www.cdc.gov/ViolencePrevention/intimatepartnerviolence/teen_dating_violence.html)
 * the Dept of Justice uses this phrase (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/journals/261/teen-dating-violence.htm)

Canada


 * the term "youth dating violence" is used interchangeably with "teen dating violence" or just "dating violence" (http://www.ucalgary.ca/resolve/violenceprevention/English/reviewprog/youthdintro.htm) (http://www.harbour.sfu.ca/freda/events/teenviolence.htm) (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/85-002-x/2010002/article/11242-eng.htm)

U.K. (the U.K. launched their first national campaign this year on February 15, 2010 and are using "this is abuse" as their tagline (http://thisisabuse.direct.gov.uk/) but this should not be construed as adoption of the phrase for classification purposes)


 * (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/sps/news/2009/34.html)

Australia


 * the term "teen dating violence" predominates (http://www.aifs.gov.au/acssa/whatsnew.html) (http://www.aifs.gov.au/acssa/pubs/newsletter/n5.html)

Other


 * LiveStrong (http://www.livestrong.com/article/13801-teen-dating-violence/) uses the term "teen dating violence"
 * Google hits for the phrase "teen dating violence" are 518,000 as compared to "dating abuse" of 354,000
 * the media (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29843113/) (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/24/teen.dating.violence/index.html) (

This is not the first time that I've had to have this reverted and it's not clear why it continues to happen. If I could better understand the rationale behind the change I'd be happy to clear up any misconceptions / misunderstandings. 24.126.193.118 (talk) 18:35, 22 July 2010 (UTC)


 * The reason it continues to happen is that dating violence happens to more people than just teens. It is clear from your edits that you are pushing an agenda and not interested in having this be a high quality, neutral article.  I encourage you to read about what Wikipedia is and the purpose behind it.  Copy & pasting bullet points from your organization's brochure is not acceptable on this website.  Teen dating violence is just a small subset of overall dating violence, and your efforts on this site skew that reality by giving the impression that teen dating is somehow unusually violent or abhorrent or dangerous and that nothing dangerous occurs between adults.  This is simply false and misleading.  You should not take over neutral pages by pushing your own agenda.  Once again, that is not the point of Wikipedia.  I will once again revert your changes (as everyone else agrees should happen).  Do not attempt to edit the page again or I will recommend that your IP be banned from Wikipedia.  Thank you.

 * First, WP:AGF. Second, WP:Dick. Third, I documented my point and would appreciate a response that addresses my well-documented concern: "Teen dating violence is a more appropriate term than dating abuse; the merging of the article does not appropriately frame this issue and should be reverted." 24.126.193.118 (talk) 15:12, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, you called me a dick? Haha, way to handle this maturely.  No, "teen dating violence" is NOT a more appropriate term.  Do you truly believe that individuals over 18 do not experience violence or abuse in their relationships?  Whether I do or don't assume good faith regarding your intentions, the quality and tone of the dating abuse article you produced is entirely inconsistent with the accepted quality standards of Wikipedia.  I am far from the only person to have said that.  You simply need to accept that.  KPalicz (talk) 15:18, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I did not call you a dick. WP:Dick is a commonly accepted tenet of Wikipedia (along with "assume good faith"). If you had read through my well-cited information (supra) you would see that the phrase "teen dating violence" is the nationally recognized phrase in the United States. Since 2006 the U.S. Congress has declared February to be "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month" (more specifically 2006 - 2009 the first week was "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Week" and for 2010 the entire month of February was "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month."


 * In addition to U.S. references I supplied references from other English-speaking countries (Canada, Australia, and the U.K.) to show that although those countries have not been actively working with this problem for as long as the U.S., they still support this nomenclature.


 * I asked to understand your specific issue with this phrasing in order to supply you with the proper information. For example, if you are from a country other than the U.S. you might believe that the phrase is country-specific and I could then address that concern; if you instead believe that this issue simply doesn't exist then I could address that. Instead you assumed bad faith on my part and that has gotten us nowhere. I have been attempting from the start to handle this is an agreeable manner and ask that you do the same. 24.126.193.118 (talk) 15:39, 23 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Multiple times I have explained the issue with your term. Multiple times you have ignored my attempts to explain.  "Teen dating violence" may be the recognized term to describe teen dating violence, but that is not all this page is about.  This page is about dating abuse.  Dating abuse occurs in teen relationships and adult relationships.  I am frankly at a loss for words as to why I need to explain this so many times.  "Teen dating violence" is too narrow a term to cover dating violence among both teens and adults and thus it is inappropriate to use.  It would be acceptable to have, within the dating abuse page, a small sub-section about teen dating violence in particular, but to erase all mention of dating violence that occurs among adults is simply not-factual or reasonable.  It is also inappropriate for teen dating violence to have its own page or for discussion of it to overshadow the treatment of dating violence or dating abuse overall.  Just as it would be inappropriate to have a section or article about black dating violence and ignore the fact that dating violence occurs among couples of all races.  It is inappropriate to ignore the fact that dating abuse is a reality among couples of all ages.  I have explained this point over and over again, I don't understand why it is so difficult to understand. KPalicz (talk) 15:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the clarification and have responded on the article's talk page but in summary: "Teen dating violence" is a professionally recognized subset of IPV. From a legislative perspective, the U.S. has officially recognized this distinction since at least 2006 and the U.K. began its own efforts earlier this year. These governments have distinguished "teen dating violence" from non-teenager dating violence because the issues with awareness and prevention are unique for this age group. I'll also add that "teen dating violence" was exactly what the article was about when it was written. It may not reflect that anymore but that's the result of merging with other articles. This is a noteworthy subject worthy of its own article regardless of the merits of the article as it currently exists. 24.126.193.118 (talk) 16:27, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Civ series
Thank you for your edits, but fan sites are generally not linked in articles. See WP:ELNO. CivFanatics is an exception because it has been discussed by the project community and had a level of notability established. Thanks DP 76764  (Talk) 15:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no reason to link to CivFanatics, or a Wikia page and not Apolyton. You may not be familiar, but Apolyton is older and more established than CivFanatics, and even the lead developer of Civ5 was recruited from the Apolyton community.  KPalicz (talk) 15:18, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, check out the Apolyton Civilization Site for more information. KPalicz (talk)
 * Ok, I'll buy that this is a reasonably notable fan site, but you may find others are skeptical. DP 76764  (Talk) 16:12, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
