Re:Storch's Production Credits "vandalism"
There was no vandalism. I accidentally clicked "Save Page" instead of "Show Preview". It has been fixed. I was only doing some legit and needed clean up. Feel free to delete this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.220.14 (talk • contribs), 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Metropolis Magazine

 * Hello, I am not to sure of where it is appropriate to get a hold of you to discuss the Metropolis Magazine entry. Is this page okay? Wanzhen 08:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I got your message. I hope this is your Talk page. So, in the Metropolis case, to me the key problem is "blatant advertising" and if the author of the Metropolis article is also the owner of the Metropolis magazine, well then this is very significant in calling it "blatant". It seems the previous discussions on the article did not mention at all whether the author was also the owner. In light of this, isn't it a slam dunk case of blatant advertising then?

 * Hi, I too had a look at the Metropolis magazine entry, as well as the (failed) mediation concerning it. I think that the article should go up for a new VfD, as it fails horribly to ascertain it's notability (WP:N: "A topic is notable if it has been the subject of non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject."). Would you help me re-list it? Heatedissuepuppet 17:50, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

DarknessBot
DarknessBot simply uses a modified redirect.py, part of the pywikipedia framework. You can get it over at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot/ though you're probably better off getting it from CVS instead of a snapshot, as the snapshots are a little out of date. Please note though that your wiki will need to support either Special:Doubleredirects, or you'll need a database dump - it doesn't crawl every live article looking for redirects because that's obviously very inefficient.

Avalon (comic)
Hi Simon, Just been through reviewing and speedy deleting a whole load of articles but this one I took the tag off so I thought I'd drop you a courtesy note to explain why. It was a fair try and I don't disagree it technically could meet speedy but a lot of experienced editors have been through over a long time without even prod ing it, it predates current speedy rules and it looks like notability is possible so I left it. You could prod or AfD or I suppose retry speedy and hope for a more aggressive admin...--BozMo talk 07:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi!

 * This is about the change you made to the dota allstars page where you removed the info on Nevermore, with the argument that we must either have articles on every hero or none, to remain more neutral. I partially agree with this, but I think it's not the case, because Nevermore isn't just any hero, it's a hero that has been pretty bad at older versions and has recently been boosted to the point where it's so good it majorly affects top level gameplay. I didn't feel like it could all be reduced to a few lines, but that may be better. However I think we need some sort of information on Nevermore. I would gladly write some quick info on all the most relevant heroes to tournament play, but I can't write info on the 82 different heroes within a short time. In any case I want to add that the whole page is badly written, I have contributed a few things were I thought it would be useful, but a full reconstruction of the page is necessary, I just can't do it by myself. Besides I'm only qualified and interested in adding info on how the game works at the highest level of competition, but nothing more. I'm sorry if this isn't the place to post the talk about this issue, but I'm new to wiki (as an editor, not as a reader) so I'm still learning my way around. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skepticignorant (talk • contribs)

Rod Giobbs 20:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC) Hi, I still dont understand wikipedia messaging, but I wanted to write you as you warmly greeted me when I registered back in Jan. I posted a few links to job sites I use that I think are valuable, and one user in particular accused me of Spamming and frankly was rude and attacked me unprovoked and misquoted his info to boot. I wrote a response on my talk page but not sure how to get that message to the required parties. Anyway, I appreciated your good faith towards me and would appreciate you helping me continue to get my case across (sorry if I got too defensive but the one comment the other guy wrote was so out of line that it really killed all the good I thought about wikipedia that I'd heard up to now

Metropolis (English magazine in Japan)/Crisscross Merger proposal
Talk:Crisscross. There is currently a discussion whether the articles Crisscross and Metropolis should be merged. As a contributor to one or both of these articles, your input would be valued. Heatedissuepuppet 11:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Template: Fox Interative Media
The template is appreciated. However. the template is a comprehensive template that probably should have the information in that template. As such, because it meets criteria 2 as listed [|here]. I am proposing it for deletion, with its information to be merged into the News Corporation template. --AEMoreira042281 17:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC) (talk)

the downside of wikipedia
The current state of the article "Collaborative Software" (not a single reference) and the inane proposal to merge "Computer Software" and "Computer Program" make me wonder whether I shouldn't stop contributing to wikipedia. I do not agree with NPOV as a defensible standpoint as I reject the primacy of the fact/value dichotomy and the moral relativism preached in the wikipedia guide.

I will try to be concise: the proposal would have no merit if either article were more satisfactory. Neither are as poor as the article Collaborative Software where the "Implementation" section is an unreferenced advert.

We have an article on the rejection of science in favor of mere 'facts' by Islamic theologians because it matters. Not because it is a fact that falls into some category.

That the articles are not adjudicated and so flagged by experts is a failing. That articles do not require a link to web document archives is also a failing. Both could and should be remedied.

Today I found that a link within an article about an American disgrace has somehow vanished and the keyword in the link had come to be cleverly mis-spelled. I had to turn to Google to re-establish the facts from an American newspaper archive. Not because they are value-neutral facts, but because those facts are important given our values as an aspiring open society coping with the abuse of institutional power. That is why the newspaper printed the story instead of waiting to print the 'facts' allowed transcription into a courtroom trial transcript.

One improvement would be to see all articles about American cities moved to www.aboutus.org and be replaced by more factual content. I would say the same for some articles on political parties. Any article in wikipedia should meet the standards advocated by transparency.org and be a suitable reference for an article at an amnesty-international website. Or this is just a game that is not worth the candle.
