Actors categorization
Nareek, thanks for your participation in the discussions regarding Actors categorization. You contributed in a significant way, especially for a relative Newbie to Wikipedia (if you don't mind my calling you that :) In answer to your request on Category talk:Actors, yes I will spell out there what I'm intending to do (but first I have to figure it out myself ;) - that was mostly meant to be facetious; I have a pretty good idea of what I intend to do. I will take a little time and give an example with an explanatory note, within the next 24 hours - right now I'm kinda mulitasking between Wikipedia and other things - I need to be able to concentrate on WP only to give a good answer. --Cheers, Lini 23:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC) Thanks, Lini. I've been impressed by how well Wikipedians work together--for an online community composed of thousands of strangers, it's remarkably harmonious. I appreciate the welcome.

Bruno and Crowley
Hi Nareek,

Thank-you for your message! I've only started learning how this messaging system works -- you'll find a version of this note over on my discussion-page. I've known about Wikipedia for years, but this is the first time I've spent any time here. It's very cool!

Crowley IS daunting -- I've edited him! But you're right, Wikipedia is a marvelous experiment, and if you're inclined to improve on the Crowley articles, go for it, I know you'll do him justice!

Hey, I just added a link to the monad picture-caption on the John Dee article, and just discovered that the artwork at the end of that new link looks great when saved as a desktop-background.

Cheers,

Darwin Tallhouse

Nice identifiers for Bruno and for Dee/Kelley, Nareek.

Whoever wrote the material about how each of the first three volumes of Ægypt pays homage to a book from the Renaissance is onto something. What I'm wondering is -- if Crowley has continued that pattern, then what Renaissance book does the title Endless Things refer to? I don't know.

Do You Believe in the Rapture?
Hi, where did you find out about the tentative Sonic Youth album title change? Everywhere i look "Do You Believe in the Rapture?" is listed as a song, not as an album title.--Amir E. Aharoni 17:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I was working from the edit made before mine, which cited a CMJ interview for the release date--I assumed that was the source for the title as well. I sorta got the sense that that was posted by an insider, though--maybe it was the dreaded "original research." Nareek 18:49, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Red links
Re: Jack's Big Music Show - The two pages that drove me to this thinking are Build the web and Make only links relevant to the content. Neither of them mention red versus blue links specifically, but I believe it's more in the sprit of building the web to create the links for the relevant content, even if they end up red. I also believe that the red link is an enticement for someone to make a new article, or at least a new stub. adavidw 18:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Poe link
Hi. The problem wasn't specifically with the Poe link, but rather that had inserted a link to a couple of sites, identically formatted, to ~30 pages. I noticed one cropping up on Rudyard Kipling (I trimmed the external links there a while back, and every now and again someone tries to add a link to their own site), reverted it and had a look at his contributions. Each one added a link, but no content added, no attempt to tailor the descriptions or anything... it rang all the linkspam warning bells, in the five or so I looked at, so I used rollback on the lot.

Hope that explains things. Shimgray | talk | 21:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Poe's woes
Hi. Left a reply to you on the talk page for poe, but said I would explain a case where articles need semiprotection. If we were getting hit by multiple ip addresses, and in a very short frame of time, then the article could be semi or full-protected (no edits by anyone other than admins) in order for us to get a jump on reverting the vandalism and to hopefully shoo the vandals off. However, one or two an hour from unconnected people tends to be below the threshold needed for protection imo. I can list the page on vandalism in progress, but I am not sure that would get the article any more eyes than it currently has on it. :/

In any case, I'm not trying to be dismissive... I'm just trying to give you my honest opinion as an administrator. --Syrthiss 16:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Bagoas
You might be interested in the account of Bagoas' destruction of Orsines, here. Regards, Haiduc 17:48, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello there. I have to ask you for a source besides speculation that Bogoas was Alexander The Great's lover. I do personally believe so, but for the sake of verification. Firegirl223 16:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The sources are cited in the article: He's explicitly in a sexual relationship with Alexander in Curtius, while in Plutarch it's implied by the public display of affection. I don't think there's a great deal said about him by history outside of his relationship with Alexander; that's what he's remembered for. Nareek 16:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Grant Morrison
Hi, i found the decade breaks to be much better, when i first expanded that page months ago i tried the same as you did and found it quite cumbersome. Its far easier to leave it as it is (as Morrison has spent most of his career flitting between various companies) and let them expand (i still have loads to add in the 1980s for example) naturally.

The "wankathon" thing was a publicity stunt as well as a 'magical ritual', there's more information on it onThe Invisibles page which is more appropriate for expanding unpon it.

The All Star line is an odd one, it's easy to say it is DC's version of the Ultimate line but it is and it isn't at the same time. It's easier again to let any comparison of these lines remain on the relevant pages.

I find it easier to make it simple and keep it simple while trying to be as unspeculative as possible on Wiki. It makes things easier all round really. Incidently, i'm putting up a few Morrison related pages today (The New Adventures of Hitler and The Liberators so far) so if you can help fill any gaps feel free to jump in.Logan1138 13:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I see what you're see with the headers being arbitrary but it makes the thing easier to edit for all and avoids situations such as the Alan Moore page from about a year or so ago which was virtually split into headers outlining everything he ever did in his career. Of course one way to do it is create sub-headers within the decades which keeps it fairly structured and easy to read.

The 'wankathon' thing was something a few of us were considering going into greater depth with on The Invisibles page. We can perhaps call it a sigil on Morrisons page but we should really leave the fuller explanation on The Invisibles page.

The All Star thing isnt a big deal but if it's purely speculation we should avoid it.

As said there's a load i've still to stick up, including Morrison's musical career, his plays and his other interests. As it stands the page is still a wee bit away from being featured article level, but give it a bit more work and it certainly could be. Logan1138 17:55, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I've been wracking my brain trying to work out how to put his non comics work into the article.I can't quite work out how to slip it in as his work outside of comics is barely touched upon. Basically the article is improving slowly and surely and it is turning slowly into one of the better comics articles on Wiki (a lot seem to turn into horrible examples of editors talking about 'canon' or speculating wildly) but yes, NPOV can be a pain in the arse at times but once you get your head round it then it helps greatly in improving articles.

We'll get there in time..... Logan1138 12:16, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk page signature
It was good of you to leave word that you had altered the lead of NSA warrantless surveillance. You did not sign your comment there. The lead is an important part of an article. There is a section in Talk for discussing changes to the lead before making them. There is a template on the talk page asking that substantial changes be discussed before they are made. Your not bothering with any of that makes me wonder if you dislike like the absence of the NPOV template on the article. Metarhyme 00:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry to forget the sig; it happens sometimes.


 * I guess I interpret "substantial" as meaning "major" rather than "involving any matter of substance." I didn't think of any of the changes I made as being major, or having particular significance as to POV one way or the other.  I'm sorry if I overstepped.


 * I'm afraid I don't understand your last sentence. Nareek 00:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Attacked from left and right, the article has writhed beneath this POV label for much of its existence:


 * I agree that the lead has needs, it's just that it has to be extremely neutral. I foresee bullshit blasts that will put what has gone before to shame. Rove is worried about impeachment, and was cracking the whip over the republicans in congress, but he's had time since then to consider his next ploy, which will find its way into the article. If the article is kept neutral it may not degenerate. I'd like you to do two things:
 * delete the template I put on your talk page, because it doesn't belong here; and
 * go to =>this linked article Talk space<= and, way down at the end of the section, comment on deleting paragraph two.
 * A lead accepted by both impeachment advocates and neocons as neutral is the aim. No slanting. Hope to see you there. Metarhyme 10:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Achilles
Thanks for the heads-up. It was only one (fairly minor) edit that got caught up in the vandal-fighting, but I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't drawn my attention to it. Thanks! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use
''I have some acquaintance with fair use law, but I'm unfamiliar with the "no better image" aspect (per the Typhoid Mary debate). Can you fill me in what that's about?''
 * Wikipedia policy is that if a better image can be used, either one which is free of copyright or one for which a better fair use rationale exists, we are to use that. I hope that helps. Steve block talk 22:06, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Alphabetization of categories
Hi, Nareek. No, as far as I know, there isn't a Wikipedia policy that categories should be alphabetical, but I think it's a good guideline since it makes the categories section look less cluttered, helps people find the category they're looking for easier (especially on the pages that have tons of categories), and avoids in advance any conflicts over which categories should come before others due to importance. If you have a good reason to change the order, that might work out better. I tend to think categories sections are more practical and more neat when alphabetized, but you're certainly free to have another opinion. --Rocketgoat 20:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Soul article
Hi Nareek. You reverted out in the article on Soul two significant quotations by the great classical scholars, Erwin Rohde, from his classic work on Psyche (Soul), and Francis M. Cornford, from the article on Soul, citing NNPOV, without any discussion. I don't understand. These are highly respected scholars for decades and have important observations to make on the soul. It's not my point of view, they are direct quotations on their scholarly works about the soul. I will have to put them back in unless you can furnish some justification. There should be some discussion before such an action. These are literal quotes by famous and accepted scholars. Also, Cornford's passage is just quoting Pindar, one of the ancient sources. Also, your removal of the accepted point of view on Dr. MacDougall is unclear in motive. Please explain. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 16:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Nareek. Thanks for your kind and quick response. I had no idea what was going on ! I appreciate your taking the time to fix it and provide me with some re-assurance. Again, many thanks. I can understand how it could happen to any of us. Best Wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 17:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Nareek. Yes, WP is amazingly good about self-healing ! In this case it is my habit to discuss before reverting out changes such as the ones you made, except in really exceptional cases, to discuss it and find out if I blew it and what the motivation was ! Someone I know from the WP arbitration committee once gave me that tip which was a good one. I might add in a very strained situation at the time. Our WP community is very decent that way. Keeping things cool-headed. And what's life worth anyway without some enthusiasm or even occasional over-enthusiasm ? ;) Best Wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 17:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Ware Tetralogy
Sorry about that, it just seemed to me that the article was rather sloppily and unevenly done, and could use some revamping by someone that has read the series. -- Gizzakk 18:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I myself have not actually read any of the books, i was just going through the novels that have won the Phillip K. Dick memorial award and checking the ones that actually have articles and noticed that this one could use some help; if you feel like really revamping it/improving it, i would probably suggest changing the page itself to a summary of the whole series, with links to the individual books. WP:NOVEL has some usefull templates for starting book articles, and think about joining as well if it appeals to you. -- Gizzakk 18:30, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Severn valley
Regarding the dashes... After rereading Manual of Style (dashes), I'm still not exactly sure what the preferred style is (I suspect that the guidelines have changed since the last time I read the article). However, I did take special note of this section:

A pair of hyphens -- either spaced or unspaced--like that. These are simple to type, but are regarded as ugly by some. They may be taken care of in the future by automatic conversion bots or scripts. Editors who do not want the bother of keying in special characters or HTML entities are free to type their dashes in this fashion.

This would seem to give you carte blanche to use double dashes (and most certainly you can freely use them on discussion pages). However, since the section says that these characters may someday be "taken care of" by "conversion bots or scripts", this leads me to believe that "&mdash;" is preferred in articles. But I don't want to step on your preferred style; if you would rather use -- instead of &mdash;, then go ahead (and I won't take offense if you change all the &mdash;'s back to -- in the Severn valley article).

BTW: In "Severn valley", I turned your web link into a footnote. I did this just in case the web site suddenly goes away (a frequent occurrence) or the url changes. By having a footnote and a web reference, this gives the reader some context (without having to follow the link). This would also be useful if (and whenever) the article is printed. -,-~ R 'lyeh R isin g  ~-,- 02:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I wish WP had more style rules--a lot of these things it doesn't really matter how you do them, but you ought to do them consistently (serial commas, for example). I'm used to doing the double hyphen m-dash; I can see the aesthetic appeal of the &mdash; ; I'll try to use the latter, but chances are I'll sometimes forget, and you should feel free to change them.

I haven't figured out how to do the footnote thing yet; it does seem better than merely having numbered html links. Nareek 03:20, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks like Wikipedia changed the method (see Footnotes). I had been using my own template, Rn, which is non-standard, instead of the Ref template, because the latter messes up the formatting. But I suppose I should change to the new style &mdash; it seems to be easier to use and you don't have to worry about keeping the notes in the right order. (Although I notice it does mess up the formatting&mdash;oh well...) The way the new method works is fairly simple. You put wherever you want the footnote to go, and then you put ''' to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Isilanes 14:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Question/comment on trichloroethylene article
From my brief skimming of the history, it seems like you added the "popular culture" section of the article on trichloroethylene, which has now been removed by another user, who says you had the wrong chemical. I thought it was a great contribution on your part, and am confused by its deletion. Can you clarify? Thanks! Chrissy385 18:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Here is your old version-- seems you added a small paragraph on popular culture (at bottom). http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tetrachloroethylene&oldid=124367599 This isn't critical or anything, I just thought it was interesting and a good contribution for the non-chemistry inclined....but I see it was removed not long ago.Chrissy385 15:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I am a newbie, and apparently a bit of an idiot, because on further examination, you didn't WRITE that part, you just edited it. Sorry about that. But still, if you have a take on whether that section should be added back in, that'd be great. As far as I know, it is accurate, particularly the part about Woburn, MA and the book/movie A Civil Action. Chrissy385 15:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Johnny Appleseed
Hi, thanks for your edits to to the Johnny Appleseed article. I added a reference for the book The Botany of Desire. However, a wikilink to an article about a subject is not a valid reference, and does not justify removing fact tags - please see the guideline on reliable sources.

Fair use rationale for Image:Respecto_Montalban.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Respecto_Montalban.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 17:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Feinglass.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Feinglass.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Speedy deletion of X-tal
A tag has been placed on X-tal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

WTC Twin Towers 2 (tense)
Didn't want the lack of response on WTC Twin Towers 2 talk to imply your comment has been ignored.

The page is in what might be called "stasis" while World Trade Center 1 rises. (This design was never officially proposed, but there were, let us say "complex emotions" surrounding rebuilding the site -- e.g., early on the decision was firmly made that the original two towers would not be rebuilt, but there was an understandable emotional desire to see them rebuilt).

As long as the rebuilding was not visibly rising above ground level (which was the case until recently), there was a (futile) hope that a plan like WTC Twin Towers 2 might still find its way to reality.

BOTTOM LINE: The rise of World Trade Center 1 is the irrefutable answer to this never-to-be/never-submitted design. The time will come to do something appropriate with this article, but there is no rush (or so it seems). Proofreader77 (talk) 03:51, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Plateosaurus vandalism
Hi, it pays to read the entire article, not just the lead: in fact, there was no vandalism! Plateosaurus is usually mistranslated, and Markus Moser did a thorough study of what the name was supposed to mean: But thanks anyways: I'd rather have people erring on the side of caution than not caring! HMallison (talk) 22:43, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Normally, I'd agree. However, there are no "conflicting views" and no "consensus", because before Moser nobody gave a damn about this. Moser was the first to really look into the matter, and ever since nobody ever gave a flying piece of dino feces. Additionally, nobody ever gave any Greek source words (AFAIK). Thus, there is one opinion, and otherwise just blabber and repeated blabber.
 * Overall, I'd say we leave things as they are, because a cite or footnote in the lead would only lead to others removing that, pointing out that there are not to be any citations in the lead, thus me or you replying.... rinse and repeat!
 * Plateosaurus is going to the snake pit soon. Maybe someone there has the ideal solution! :) HMallison (talk) 22:22, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Héloïse's surname
Hi Nareek, I just removed the sentence you had added to the introduction Héloïse (abbess) giving her surname as "d'Argenteuil". After discussion on the Talk page, no one has found or cited a source using "d'Argenteuil" that isn't derived from Wikipedia. This was my rationale for renaming the page to "Héloïse (abbess)" from "Héloïse d'Argenteuil", as well.

If you have a source for "d'Argenteuil", by all means, please add it! It certainly seems like a name someone could call her, but no one has uncovered evidence that anyone (other than Wikipedia) actually does. The lack of sourcing was brought up in connection with a move request in July 2013. I then questioned it on the talk page in April 2014. It was also questioned on French Wikipedia in August 2013. Since no one has come forward with a source in over two years, I think at this point we need to err on the side of not perpetuating pseudo-"facts" — unless, of course, you've finally found a source!

Thanks--I was trying to reconcile it with the disambiguation page, so I've edited the disambiguation page instead. Nareek (talk) 12:02, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Game Theory
I don't think I've encountered you on Wikipedia before, but anybody who knows and cares enough about Game Theory to edit Dead Center as you did today is a friend of mine and a True Gamester indeed! All the best to you! Lwarrenwiki (talk) 19:06, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I just read Don't All Thank Me at Once, and hope to incorporate some of its info into Game Theory pages. Nareek (talk) 21:06, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Wonderful — and you'll save me a lot of effort if you do! My real name appears among the acknowledgments on page 171. Are you in contact with other fans of Scott via the Facebook group where his fans (and bandmates, and Kristine, and Brett Milano) hang out? Lwarrenwiki (talk) 21:35, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Delaware in Dixie
Nareek,

I reverted your change to the Dixie article. If you look at the map in the article: Mason–Dixon line, you will see that, though Delaware is mostly south of the line between Pennsylvania and Maryland, it is, in fact, on the same side of the line as Pennsylvania. This had nothing to do with slavery, and everything to do with a property dispute between the original owners of the colonies in question. Yours was an understandable mistake. Most people have no idea (I didn't before I started researching the line).

Keep on editing! Paulmlieberman (talk) 14:18, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
