Your toolbbox warnings
Hi, I noticed your toolbox warnings. Please can you show me the policy about vulgar language? It might be a good idea to include a link to the policy. May I ask when you'd use those warnings? Would you use it if someone used swear words on their talk page? How about if they used swear words on an article talk page? Kind regards. NotAnIP83:149:66:11 (talk) 12:14, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thus far its for been used entirely been used when people replace the content of an article with swear words. As for the vulgarity clause, it's heavily implied by WP:CIVIL. Incivility consists of personal attacks, rudeness, and aggressive behaviours that disrupt the project and lead to unproductive stress and conflict. Maybe I'm misreading it, I didn't think so. User:Nezzadar (speak) 13:29, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, cool. Thanks for the reply.  May I ask why the normal warnings for vandalism and page blanking are not suitable?  Please don't think I'm having a go, I'm not!  Kind Regards. NotAnIP83:149:66:11 (talk) 15:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * None were specific enough for my taste. I felt that if is was something as specific as racism or vulgarity, it deserved a specific warning. This serves two purposes. First it reinforces the policy to vandals. Second, it shows admins that the user has a pattern of highly inappropriate beheavior. This second point becomes important for blocking serial vandals.

redirect Moso (bamboo)
Hi Nezzadar

I am new here so please don't flame me.

I tried to add the page on moso bamboo and used material written by my employer Peter Yee with permission.

It looks like (and forgive me if I am wrong) that you redirected it to the bamboo page.

I see that there are several references to the previously deleted page so I am curious why the page had to be killed?

Thanks CapnRazor (talk) 20:40, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello there and welcome to Wikipedia. I did not "kill" the page. It can always be remade, however the page was on a subspecies of bamboo, and generally subspecies are not notable enough to get their own page. In this case, the determination was that there was not enough difference between Moso and Bamboo to warrant a new page. Instead, I encourage you to contribute about the Moso on the Bamboo page.


 * Secondly, "Peter Yee" is not an encyclopedic source. Unless Yee is letting you use a book he authored, a journalistic article, or something else reliable and accessible to the rest of us, you can't site it.


 * Also, please Assume Good Faith when talking to others. Assuming a person is going to flame you is not an assumption of good faith. While I may not be the best example of a good faith user, that does not mean you can assume that I assume bad faith. Confused? That could have been worded better, but I don't have the caffeine in my bloodstream to think about it. User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 22:27, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Village People page duplication
Hi! I noticed that you'd done some work recently on the newly created "Cruisin' (song)" article, especially with the merging of the Cruisin' (Village People song) into that page. I'm not sure if you're aware or not but there's still an exact copy of the new Cruisin' article listed as Cruisin' rather than Cruisin' (album). Both articles seem identical. Obviously one of these pages needs to go but I think that Wallstreethotrod, who created the new Cruisin' (album) page, did so because he wanted to turn the original Cruisin' page into a disambiguation page. I have also notified Wallstreethotrod about this matter, so hopefully between the two of you, something will get sorted out. Failing that, I will nominate one of these articles for Speedy Deletion and let the administrators sort it out. Anyway, I just wanted to give you the heads-up in case you hadn't realised that this page had a duplicate. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 00:12, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Ah, now I see. Thanks for the drive by posting, it really helps. A quick cut and paste of your edit summary might have been in order. As for group, now I see it. Your article didn't feature it well enough for me to catch it in my scan. I jumped the gun and am sorry. As for the redirect however, it still seems bad. Maybe because I am partial to not taking up common terms for redirects, or maybe for another reason. Eh. Whatever. User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 04:48, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was attacking the redirect, not you. I still think it's a damn far leap of a redirect, especially since Bravo group is a military term as well. I removed the CSD, just so you know. User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 04:51, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I am going to create an article on the Bravo Group lobbying firm in the future, but not yet, so I redirected the firm name to its principal. If you're concerned about this, look at the "what links here" to see User:Adraeus/companies, which has a list of advertising companies that need articles. Feel free to put a hatnote on Chris Bravacos if you feel that is appropriate. --Blargh29 (talk) 04:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Wonderful really. Create the article soon please. Also, you really need to flesh out the page that Bravo redirects to, it has very low EV. As a poly-sci person, I can conclusively say that lobbyists (the scum of the earth) are innumerable and tend not to be noteworthy until they get positions in high government offices as "consultants."

Your signature
...is incredibly long. At 632 characters, it's about two and a half times what the software normally allows (WP:SIG). Such long signatures make it confusing while editing discussion pages where you've commented. Would you please consider shortening it? Equazcion (talk) 17:55, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I really like it, and it isn't nearly as long on the signature section of "My preferences" which is likely why it makes the cut. Is there any way to force it to cooperate? User:NezzadarUser_talk:Nezzadar 18:02, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I know you like it, but it's kinda disruptive. I'm assuming it "makes the cut" because you have a transclusion or subt: in the actual preferences signature line, which circumvents the software's limit.

So settle in and experiment until you find your niche.  And by the way, some restorations are simpler than others.

Re Mentorship?
Hi Nezzadar, I see you have posted this request on a few pages. Makeemlighter provides some good suggestions. Like Durova I was also interested in your use of the term 'power player' - I guess your response to her that it's '...the people that are influential in a subject' makes sense though.

I don't really have that much time for mentoring, but am willing to help out if you have any questions.

As Makeem suggested though it's best to hold off on taking on closing for a while. I've been around for some years now, but it would probably have been over a year before I ever took on closing, and then took it pretty slowly, a few not promoteds, etc, gradually worked up to it. Doing those first full promotions is intimidating!

If you want to become a power player, then your best bet is to get yourself respected by making your opinions on 'votes' meaningful. Don't get too overzealous about things for starters, just take a measured approach. Get involved, but don't necessarily try to be involved in everything. Try to make some good nominations and contributions (photos/edits/restorations) if possible. But again, take it slow - don't try to do too much too soon.

Perhaps I should keep a talk section on your page open to drop you suggestions when I see something. I have a few things to add atm. It may end up getting annoying for you though, but you did ask... :-)

FPC Suggestion Section
Mind if I use this section to drop some FPC suggestions...? --jjron (talk) 07:09, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1. Avoid this. You should not close a nomination you have voted on or been significantly involved in in any way. It's a potential Conflict of interest. OK, this one isn't exactly controversial, but it's not a good look. That's why regular closers often avoid voting, as someone 'neutral' needs to be able to close it. --jjron (talk) 07:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 2. While on that nomination ensure you vote using standard conventions. Support and Oppose are standard. You can 'moderate' your vote by using Strong or Weak. Use of Comment or Question is also quite accepted. However FAILS CRITERIA as a vote is not a convention. Firstly the wording is wrong, secondly use of capitals is considered shouting in Netiquette. Consider the Golden rule - would you like someone else to post that as a vote on your nomination? --jjron (talk) 07:17, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 3. Do not bite the newbies. See Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Biological cell.svg. While perhaps not new to WP itself, AFAIK blurpeace is new to FPC, at best he's irregular. Regardless, your response is a little bitey (e.g., you "angrily disagree"), and certainly so if he is a newbie - if so, he would be unlikely to come back. --jjron (talk) 07:31, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I guess I was a bit overzealous. Here's what I was trying to do.


 * On 1 and 2. I saw that there were several recent closes that were "speedy closed" for the same reason as this "obviously fails criteria." Figured I could. I specificly avoided closing anything else, the only other thing I have closed was a submission I withdrew.


 * On 3. Between you and me, I really wanted to chew him out totally. The "angrily" was a representation of that. Also, this is entirely my fault, I saw the bold text and the "blu" and mentally jumped to BlueCapsian, whos sig looks the same and is not at all an irregular, and would know better. I will go make amends. Thanks.

The FPC nom you closed
I checked over it and corrected two things. First, you didn't need to use the italics at Goings-on. The previous few had them because those were species names.

Featured Pictures
Right! Sorry about the delay.

The first thing to do is probably to spend another month voting on images, stating your reasons, and listening to any feedback. This will help you get used to the norms of the Featured picture process. A second thing that may be helpful is to go to, say, commons:COM:FPC, watch for images you like, and nominate them here, after putting them in articles. It's not image creation, but it'll at least give you some idea of the nomination process.

Learning to make minor edits would also help. I'd be happy to collaborate on a fairly easy restoration with you.

You may also want to consider WP:Featured sound candidates, which has literally hundreds of files at Commons perfectly suited to promotion, but which have never been nominated. I do a lot of the work there, and another participant and closer would help a lot. it's a bit different from FPC - the closing procedure is MUCH simpler - but it's under-staffed so you could easily step into a major role more quickly. ` Shoemaker's Holiday Over 213 FCs served 17:37, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Got an idea for you. Some of the US Government websites contain encyclopedic images that don't need any editing, and a few of those are FP-worthy. It can be interesting to comb archives for that sort of material. Would you be interested in that?  Durova 333 21:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Why not. When I'm done with midterms (I.E. Tuesday) I'll start that.  Nezzadar   ☎   22:00, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's one place to start. Their notion of 'featured' is a bit different from ours, but they're constantly adding more material.  The National Institutes of Health and NASA are also good places to search, although with the latter it's best to read the fine print because some of the material isn't public domain (sometimes due to partnerships with other countries' space agencies).  Durova  333 00:05, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd echo Durova's sentiment, but more broadly. You can also look for CC-BY/CC-BY-SA content on flickr, or start contributing some of your own work in the form of photographs. Even if you don't expect to take featured pictures some decent photos of notable sites in your local area is always useful. In my opinion there are enough people closing and the additional votes are valuable at this point (don't let that stop you learning how). Noodle snacks (talk) 09:34, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. I'll still close the ones that I blatantly am uninterested in, like that postcard with the mountains and the horse. That will give me a balance of both voting and closing. In the mean time, there are plenty of better photographers, and I won't have access to my tripod until Thanksgiving. My best photos, however, I don't intend on releasing to Wikipedia, as that will restrict my ability to use them later for personal gain, and I really don't trust humanity at large, so the fewer places the file is, the better.  Nezzadar   ☎   16:20, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You might be surprised. I've made quite a reasonable amount from sending nasty legal letters to commercial entities that have used my images without any respect for the licence conditions (no attribution or anything). I think you'd find that you would be hard pressed to make money with photography online anyway, unless you want to shoot content suitable for stock photography (yawn). Noodle snacks (talk) 22:44, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking of one particular photo that I am going to have printed and hung somewhere, it is my prize photo and I would hate to lose control of it. Thanks for the advice, and I will eventually be uploading photos to Wikipedia, but right now, I don't have the time.  Nezzadar   ☎   23:04, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * NS, you yawn at stock photography but I've made quite a bit from it as well, mainly with photos also on Wikipedia. The real pain is the amount of time spent removing all possible commercial violations and identifying faces, uploading it, cataloging it, re-submitting it when they reject it for arbitrary things like "oversharpening", when it's simply sharp from downsampling, etc etc. Still, once online, the money trickles in with minimal additional work. &#208;iliff   &#171;&#187; (Talk)  13:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Signature
Hi Nezzadar, your signature really gives me a headache (yellow and fluorescent green gives me a headache). Since you are commenting so extensively at FPC, I wonder if you would consider changing it. Mostlyharmless (talk) 06:02, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree. I'm not quite as sensitive as above, but it's unnecessarily bold and distracts from the flow of text. A bit of colour is okay, but a solid block of green in the sig doesn't really suit the format on Wiki IMO. &#208;iliff   &#171;&#187; (Talk)  13:07, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Perhaps telling you this will have negitive repurcussions, but it is indeed how it seems. In 2006 when I joined I was chased out by a pair of admins who forever poisoned my opinion of the admins. These people were vulgar, bit hard and often, and contacted me primarily off of Wikipedia how they got my email I will never know) so there is little record. I left for two years out of disgust. Now I have come back with a vengeance, mainly because I see work to be done and no one else doing it. (Take the mess of that northeastern list that I fixed). Again, I am running into admins that I disagree with, and believe make horrible decisions, but so far none of them have outright attacked me, so I will stay, for now.  Nezzadar   ☎   17:17, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. It does sound like you've let your emotions dictate your behaviour on occasion, and while I'm not one to judge, it might be something that you need to temper given a few of the recent disagreements that you've been involved in.

 * 1) I think I have helped SH understand what the policy is on OS, and we have agreed to strike/remove parts of our respective conversations. Durova concurred (obviously) with what occurred, so if anything, I think that particular issue between them has been mollified to an extent.

Three pillars of the European Union
What is the advantage of keeping the big triangle in Three pillars of the European Union? All it does is make me scroll an extra screen before getting to the content. I would have trimmed it to 5 rows but I couldn't see exactly which piece of the table and nested divs would do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.170.128.65 (talk) 17:29, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The triangle is quite small, and does not create an eyesore, however it is part of the standard EU imagery, and appears elsewhere in similar form, therefore it has high EV. If you had an objection, it should have been raised in the talk page for Three pillars of the European Union. Honestly, the whole thing seems silly. If it "looks neat" and does not create a problem, why can it? <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  17:33, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah - I see. I was using IE6, where the triangle is a screenful rather than ~4 lines (Firefox).  In IE6 it is a serious impediment to the article.  Note I didn't say "looks neat"; I said "neat HTML."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.170.128.65 (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

FPC Archive
Hi Nezzadar,

Re this edit in the FPC archive I have reordered the noms and reworded the header instruction you added. They are meant to go to the bottom.

Sorry, I think you picked up what I had done and adjusted accordingly, but I was very tired and did it back to front (just copied what I did in the "Recently closed" section, which is adding them to the top). So my error. Just thought I'd let you know of the change and so you'd know they should go to the bottom in the archive. --jjron (talk) 06:37, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Commenting about a FPC that you closed having voted for it!!
Hello! In that picture you voted, and yet you closed it. And I wanted to ask you: Why it may not be right? I mean, even if you gave a support or opposed vote, a closure is but a closure right? so it doesn´t really matter who closes it as long as that user doesn´t break a rule like ignoring the consensus or something. I mean, why many people consider it like as a sin? - <font color="#007BA7" size="5">☩ <font color="#E52B50" size="3" face="Harlow Solid Italic">Damërung <font color="#007BA7" size="5">☩ <font color="#808080">. -- 08:51, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a potential Conflict of interest. Sure there's no rule as such at FPC to say you can't close something you've created/nominated/voted on, but over the last few years it's generally become accepted that it's not good practice to do so. There has been a few cases where a conflict of interest has been apparent. In general, if there's no reason for an active participant to close it (e.g., a complete lack of any other closers) then they should leave it up to an uninvolved party. --jjron (talk) 11:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, hence the message. I am trying to get good at closing, yet also want to vote, so I fiugred "Is neutral really a vote?" and the community has declared "yup." I won't close in this type of case again. Next time I push the bounds, it will be for something I commented on but did not vote on. <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  15:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Neko in Second Life Culture
Forgive me for being so new. I tried to include Neko as one of the subcultures of Second Life, and noticed you removed it. With respect, I believe this addition is warranted. For example, here's one of Torley Linden's many comments regarding Neko of Second Life (e.g., "But where are all the neko? It just isn't a comprehensive virtual world without them. :(" - Torley here: []. Second Life Neko are currently being studied by a researcher at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden, due to their significance in virtual world communities: [] Neko are listed as one of the four primary species of Second Life, as cited in the Mindmeister map by Botgirl Questi here: []. Lastly, given that Neko are considered an entirely different species than furry (by both furries and Nekos), it would seem that deleting Neko from the list of subcultures in Second Life may not be presenting a full story? Thanks kindly, Allison - 71.231.205.238 (talk) 06:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Honestly, the reason I deleted that was because I was under the impression that it was being inserted as a name, not as the theriantropic fetish that you linked to. Next time, to avoid this, add a citation or explain that Neko is a catgirl based subcluture in the edit summary. This will avoid the confusion. Sorry about that. I won't judge you about the Neko thing, although I find it puzzling. Go ahead and put it back in, heck elaborate about it, use the sources you listed here. It is a valid contribution.

Self, thank you for reverting vandalism on my userspace!

Civility
Dear Nezzadar, I believe that your recent behaviour is considerably outside what Wikipedia expects in terms of civility, and what we have accepted at FPC. There is the expression of an opinion, and then there is out and out rudeness. I ask you to consider your behaviour and change it. Mostlyharmless (talk) 00:55, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, yeah, whatever. I am getting tired of the way FPC is handled. The rules are ignored or followed as it suits the opinions of the voters, and therefore good images get shot down for not having "WOW" which is not a criteria, and bad images get promoted despite being of poor quality. I thought that focusing on illustrations would keep me away from the subjective bullshit, but I keep getting dragged back into this. Perhaps Wikipedia is not a place for me, considering that it repeatedly confirms my astronomically low view of human intelligence. <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  01:08, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If human intelligence is astronomically low, you'll have to deal with that wherever you go. Just saying. When I get frustrated with people, I've learned to find it satisfying to remain infuriatingly calm and indifferent in response to them, no matter how hard they've tried to hit the ball to me. Nothing is more defeating than an unrequited provocation. PS. I haven't looked at the particular comments being discussed here, so what I'm saying might not even apply, but it seemed like a good opportunity for some general catch-all advice.

This is not an attempt to berate you, as I only intend to point out a mistake, as I hope others do for me. That said, 63.88.67.230, a large and possibly controversial change like this should be discussed first, and to that end I see you've now put up the merge template which is the right way to go. ::: Equazcion  (talk)  16:45, 13 Nov 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it's fine Equazcion. I guess it wasn't vandalism, although I viewed it more along the lines of a massive unwarranted removal of content, which is vandalism. Ah well, we all make mistakes occasionally. <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  17:18, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes. Yes it does. On a seperate note, thank you for thanking me, it's a rarity to be thanked for helping people, so yours gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling, which is nice, since its 22 degrees outside... <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  19:41, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Gyurcsany
Hello,

I've added something to your article, which according to your judgment is vandalism. In fact you just erased the truth. Mr Gyurcsany was an informant for the Hungarian secret police, doing much harm during his University term as a student. I believe it is worth mentioning. Another thing: Why is this your personal page? Wikipedia is common goods and it should be kept that way.

Regards

 * Right. So here's the thing. You are adding a highly controversial "fact" without sourcing it. Quite simply, you cannot do this. Saying that a person is a member of a secret police force constitutes defamation, so sourcing is critical, as libel charges are serious issues that must be avoided. Unless you can find a credible source, do not put this in again. <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  15:04, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * As for the other part, it's my userspace. To a large extent, I can control it. I can't own things outside of my userspace, but I don't try to. <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  15:07, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Here is your source a documentary made by a well known Hungarian journalist. Among other things you can listen to people who actually know, knew him. Regards

 * Right. It's an hour long and not in English, so I can't make heads or tails of it. Also, home video is not considered a reliable source. I say home video because it is not attached, as I can see, to a legitimate agency. <font face="Courier"> Nezzadar  [SPEAK]  15:13, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Nezzadar, you might consider giving a read to wp:canvassing. Based on your statements about anonymous editors, it might also be good to read wp:five pillars with an eye toward WP's core values about anonymous editing.- Sinneed  17:42, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
