Rock-paper-scissors random
I was thinking about reverting your edit to Rock-paper-scissors, but then my brain went off on a "but what does random really mean, anyway? I mean really mean?", and I had to leave your edit alone to shut my brain up. Then you reverted it! Cretog8 (talk) 07:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Mole hill
Hello. I thought I heard him say that when I first watched. I went back and checked the DVR just now, and when the second team arrives at Jon's bench, he says "...good news, you've made it to the halfway point..." It could have been him just being folksy, and some small talk, but if the elapsed time is an indication, it's probably about right. So since he said "halfway point," I think it's fair for us to include that phrase. Doctorindy (talk) 13:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Mythbusters
You took down something of mine and I would like to work with you so I can become better at editing Wikipedia.

It was on the Mythbusters page. I am new, but please assume I know not to soap-box, post original research or loose NPOV. Privately I do have some observations about the recent seasons of the show:

The PETA point is the only one of encyclopedic merit. I believe this is the case because Mythbusters is setting a precedent for other developing media. Mythbusters is a part of semi-mature class of television which has little 4th wall and a lot of internet participation.

I was careful with my change. Berrying in mind, Non-original research is hard to find for most any television show. Also that I want to keep the page only containing the most relevant information. I felt that expanding the sentence on cockroaches to illuminate a general trend was the best solution. I don’t think it was too wordy. The first version is 96 words and my version is 98.

I changed this:

The program generally avoids experiments harmful to animals and people that cannot be tested safely, though in one episode they bombarded cockroaches and other laboratory insects with lethal doses of radiation and the cast addressed this, saying that the insects were specifically bred for experiments and would have likely died anyway. In another episode, Kari Byron intentionally allowed herself to be stung by a jellyfish, though it was revealed beforehand by an expert at the aquarium where the jellyfish was obtained that the experiment they had planned would not be a serious threat to Kari's safety.

To this:

While Mythbusters is science, it also follows the rule of not harming living things for the purpose of entertainment. In one episode Adam was required to be sprayed by a skunk. However the teem couldn’t mistreat the animal in any way. Several attempts and environments where tried until finally the behavior was induced in a PETA approved manner. An exception to this is an episode where cockroaches and other laboratory insects where bombarded with lethal doses of radiation. The cast addressed the morality, saying that the insects were specifically bred for experiments and would have likely died anyway.

Is there any part of this which belongs on Wikipedia? Pstaight (talk) 13:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Usain Bolt
Hi there. Good work on the article. It appears the article took a bit of a beating format wise while I took my eye off it, though! Can I ask what you think about the date format in the article (uses 21 August 2008 standard)? Jamaica is also written thus but Jamaican news websites seem to be favouring the American standard. The article was originally written with British dates and lexicon and I reverted the changes against this but am now unsure about whether this is how the article should be written.

Also, it appears I had misunderstood the purpose of a lead - to summarise the only most important feats of the athlete (not to summarise the article as a whole). I currently have Dwain Chambers at FAC and I think you could really help me out. Only one editor is making suggestions currently and there seems to be little interest in editing athletics articles on wikipedia anyway. Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks Sillyfolkboy (talk) 15:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

You rejected my edits about the outcome of a possible playoff. How is it obvious? Just curious. 98.192.44.39 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 03:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

My reply to yours about Body Language
I just wanted to say that the reason I might've had the one possibly of a playoff is because there is an episode I've seen in which nobody solved the second $250 puzzle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.192.44.39 (talk) 15:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Salary cap and the reserve clause
In response to your / [citation needed] in the article Salary cap: If you are interested in why the NHL had a salary cap in the 1930s, it is because the Great Depression. Two teams (out of ten) folded in the early 30s, while other teams were forced to restrict players' salaries. This should have a reference in the article, though. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 15:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ebo1.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ebo1.png. 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. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:16, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Punch a Bunch
There's an entire section for "History." It isn't necessary to include historical data, specifically related to previous cash distributions, in the main body of the article.

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Bnyok1.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Bnyok1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 14:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Palmer1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Palmer1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 00:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, A couple of weeks ago I modified an image and then uploaded it to the Barenaked Ladies article. You reverted my edit, but gave no meaningful reason in your edit summary or did not leave any message on my talk page as why the edit was inappropriate. I feel that the new image, (with the black background removed), helps the reader see the subject easier.

Re
Thank You for your response, however in the future try to leave your comment on my talk page and not my user page :( . My reason for trying to eliminate the dark background was that others had commented in the past they had trouble distinguishing his hair from the background. I don't care which image is left in the article, as long as it is the version that helps readers the best, something probably best discussed at the talk page of the article.

As a courtesy I would also like to let you to know that I used the image at his profile page, you may review it and use your best judgment to revert it if you feel that it does not contribute to the article. -- GateKeeper(X) @ 19:20, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Candy stick
Hi TheHYPO, On the 1st of December 2007, you edited the Micrurus fulvius article to add a link to candy cigarette, since at the time "Candy stick" redirected to Micrurus fulvius. After that, I changed the "Candy stick" redirect to a disambiguation page and moved your link there. Currently, Candy stick is a new article on the hard candy and the original disambiguation page is called Candy stick (disambiguation). The last question that was raised, however, asks whether "candy stick" really is a legitimate alternative name for "candy cigarette" or not. Since you came up with the association, I was wondering if perhaps you could clarify the matter and possibly produce a reference. I think the best soltution would be to add the name and the reference to the "candy cigarette" article. Thanks, (PS -- Please answer here, as I've temporarily added your talk page to my watchlist). --Jwinius (talk) 01:39, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey J; I checked the talk pages of all of the relevant articles I could find and I didn't see any ask about the cigs. At least one brand has gone this way: popeye candy cigs were changed, at some point, in at least some markets, to be billed as popeye candy sticks. I believe, though this would be original research without a citation, that the move was made in recent years due to the obvious argument against offering children candy that portrays cigarettes as enjoyable. I'm not sure how many, or what other companies have taken similar moves. I hope this helps. TheHYPO (talk) 07:04, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Casa Loma copyright violation
Just wanted to let you know I left a comment regarding a section I blanked out from the Casa Loma article in January over on the copyright violations page. Other than that section that I blanked, I couldn't find anything else that matched exactly, but then again, I was a bit distracted at the time by other things anyway. You might have more luck with it than I did.

Also, the infobox and opening statement should be unmarked, in my opinion. Even if anything in it were copied from elsewhere, it'd be fair use, and it'd be recreated if the infobox was ever added to the page in its rewrite. Likewise, the opening statement, as it'd be difficult, if not impossible, to rewrite it some other way. (BTW, the opening statement may be from http://www.galenfrysinger.com/ontario_toronto_casa_loma.htm but with a slight variation in translation; a Google search for the phrase pulled this up right after the WP article. Other text on that page sounds familiar, too.) --coldacid (talk|contrib) 05:17, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hockey Numbers
Although it was several years ago now, you pulled what you considered trivial information off of the Hockey number section. But if you look at the history of numbers in the NHL the shift to numbers above 30 was a significant change in the tradition of the NHL and so describing how this happened with references is not any more trivial than talking about number of peoples jerseys in general. When I first read the article, it said that there was no basis for number selection in the NHL and that lower numbers were not more valued. This is untrue to this day. However it was very rare to see a number over 40 before the selection of higher numbers by Espo, Hodge, Gretzky. But you chose to delete this information. Well if that is the case, the only non trivial information is: "In hockey you can be any number between 1-98." Any more information is anecdotal. The point is, if you are going to slash articles with this information do it in a consistent manner instead of arbitrarily determining what is and isn't useful information.Kevinskogg (talk) 19:21, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for not signing. After your edits, the full story of how Gretzky ended up with 99 was removed. And one of your edit comments said removing trivial items. I assumed that meant all of that set of edits. My original verbiage had been corrupted and needed to be cleaned up when you got there I agree, for example the parenthetical statement about the NHL retiring 99 like baseball did for 42 was out of place. But the point of that story was to show the direct link from Esposito's decision to Gatsby's number selection which, because of his eventual stature in the game, sped up the inclusion of non-hockey (as I call them) numbers in the game. Also, although it was not my inclusion, I think your comment about birth years is also wrong. My reasoning is this, Gordie Howe started in 1946-47 at the age of 18. He could have take his birth year 28 at that time but the Red Wings only numbered up to 22 and assigned numbers to players. Howe's original number of 17 was only changed the next year because it got him a lower berth on the Pullman car. It was typical in his era to be assigned numbers by the team. Considering that only one more birth year was available above the magic 30 and most number selection was done by the teams at this time, it falls that by the time individual numbers choices were common, only people born after 1930 were choosing so by the traditional "hockey number" system, birth years were not available. Therefore it wasn't really until recently that this became feasible under the hockey number "system," and for the writer to say this was a relatively new trend was correct.

Just an aside to this. When I was growing up my father was a high school running coach. One year, right before Espo went to the Rangers, his team bought extra warm up jerseys and my brother and I got our own with our HS graduation year on them. Boy did 1987 seem like a long way away. Being a little hockey fan I was disappointed by the number on the back. But then that winter Espo changed from 12 to 77 and I could now consider that it was a hockey number. I remember we had cable TV and at the time there weren't a lot of channels even on cable but one that we got was the MSG network. I remember watching the Rangers and want just to see this hockey jersey with such an outlandish number on it so I could pretend my #87 jersey was a hockey jersey (interesting now for me as the Pens are my #2 team.) There was no system, just like the "unwritten rules" of all sports, there was a protocol that people followed because that's the way it was. Turns out it was just because there were about 20 guys on a team and so you printed 20 jerseys with serial numbers and the first one was the goalie. Later as you had different rosters you added 10 more to cover everyone. And the first and last were goalies.Kevinskogg (talk) 20:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Scarborough, Suburban Toronto
My edit to the Barenaked Ladies article was fair. Scarborough was not merely a suburb of Toronto when Barenaked Ladies was formed, but still is. It's no longer a suburban municipality within Metro Toronto, but still a suburb. Why did you revert my edit? A.Roz (talk) 08:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Hodges11.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hodges11.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:TonyRan1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Peepshow tour


The article Peepshow tour has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable concert tour fails both WP:GNG and WP:CONCERT TOUR that has been incorrectly tagged as being sourced to primary references, because the only reference is an "Unofficial Peepshow song tracker" that now leads to a 404 website, for a year.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:TestPattern1.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TestPattern1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:23, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
