User talk:TomStar81/Archive 11



Draža Mihailović
Hello TomStar81, I am sorry to bother you, but since you had intervened in an edit war situation between another user and myself in that page, and since you are an admin, I couldn´t refrain to expose to you a situation that I found myself in.

This is a short resume of what happend:


 * 1) - User:DIREKTOR and myself edit-warred on the article.
 * 2) - You rightfully intervened and blocked us both: (Feb 18)
 * 3) - You also protected the page and left a advice that we start edit "civilly": User_talk:FkpCascais and User_talk:DIREKTOR/Archive_8.
 * 4) - The article was unblocked one month after you had blocked it: (March 18)
 * 5) - In the meanwile I had exposed from the beggining in detail all my edits and its reasons on the talk page whare I continued the discussion, finding complete abscence from the debate of User:DIREKTOR (his last intervention on the talk page was prior to your block of us).
 * 6) - I refrained from editing the article and patiently waited the response from Direktor, so a compromise could be reached.
 * 7) - Some other users edited the page.
 * 8) - User:DIREKTOR completely skips your advice, ignores the discussion, and reverts all other editors putting back the same version he insisted on the edit-war you have blocked him for (March 25).
 * 9) - I reverted him, and pointed him that we should reach a consensus first.
 * 11) - He also unnecessarily provokes me in a completely different article talk page:
 * 12) - He reports me, exagerates, and without me knowing, I get blocked for a week!:

I would really like to have your opinion on this. I was correct, discussed all my edits exaustedly on the talk page, refrained from editing the article, and when the other user (Direktor), after ignoring completely the discussion, makes the same revert we were edit-warring about, and I revert him pointing to the talk page, I get blocked for one week. It is hard to me to understand the situation, since it was pointed to me by the admins that I got blocked primarily for reverting the EE related articles. I think that they didn´t knew about the background of the story, and I get too quikly and too harshly punished. Am I wrong?

I am really sorry to bother you with this, and I will understand if you don´t have time to deal with this but, I would just like to have some advice for my procedure. Thank you. :) FkpCascais (talk) 04:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * "When block ends" (?) it ended long time now, how would I write to you then here?, "Banned" (for discussing on talk page?), "dishonorably discharged from the site" (?). Thank you very much for your kind words, and for your time and advice. FkpCascais (talk) 16:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

1966 Soviet submarine global circumnavigation
TomStar81: When i created 1966 Soviet submarine global circumnavigation, I posted it for consideration at TDYK on March 26th. First, on April 5th, Calmer Waters claims that my "hook" is not in the article, which is ridiculous but I went ahead and changed it. Then, starting on April 6th, Materialscientist have been repeatedly challenged me regarding the reliability and accuracy of this article. Every time I think have addressed the issues that he raised, he comes up with another objection. This is becoming increasingly tedious and irritating. I do not what to escalate this near-flameout situation, but I want this resolved. Marcd30319 (talk) 01:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

A question regarding a tool I am working on
Good day to you. I hope all is well where you are. I am working on making a little tool to hopefully make it easier for inexperienced editors to create biographical articles. Right now I am concentrating on military people because that is what I am most familiar with but if it works out I will expand it. I was wondering if you had any comments or suggestions about this. I understand of course that this is not a perfect solution and not without its own problems but I am trying to make it as easy as possible (given the sytem limitations in place and my own limited knowledge of wikicode). Here is a link to what I have made so far Military biography creator. I am trying to figure out a way to allow the user to input data in the front end before the article is created. For example this first screen would essentially ask for the name of the article then the next would ask a series of questions like When were they born, where where they born, etc so that when they get to the article it will have some basic info already. Again, please let me know what you think positive or negative. --Kumioko (talk) 15:19, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input, you had a lot of good ideas that I will work on. I also think I am goig to change the format to be more in line with Article Wizard which I just found in the last couple days. I also put in a request to User:Eloquence in Wikicommons to allow the use of multiple input boxes so hopefully that will pan out eventually (not expecting that one overnigth). That will allow me to preload the questions and data for a basic article. Thats also why I limited the sections, I don't expect a new user is going to create a GA+ article out of the gate so I was just giving enough structure to maybe be a B class. I am going to try and incorporate a lot of your comments though. --Kumioko (talk) 11:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

University course: help is definitely needed.
A while back, you offered to help, and we are now at the point where we need it. If you go here, to section 7 you can see the list of articles they've edited. Some are up for GA already, but most of them could really use some help on the wikification, etc, comments, reviews, and general encouragement. There have been a few instances of them stepping on the toes of people with vested interests (ownership issues), but generally they are finding wikipedians cooperative and helpful.

1. Avoid heartburn-triggering foods. These vary from person to person, but common offenders include orange juice, chocolate, tomato sauce, spicy foods, mint, garlic, and vinegar. Fatty, greasy foods, like cheeseburgers and fries, are also heartburn instigators.

2. Stay upright for a few hours after you eat. Sitting up works with gravity to keep food and stomach acid from flowing up into your esophagus. Better yet, move about a bit to help speed digestion. "Our grandparents had it right when they headed out for a walk after a large meal," he says.

3. But abstain from exercise right after eating. Intense workouts slow digestion, making reflux more likely. Better to exercise first thing in the morning or a few hours after a meal. If you still experience heartburn symptoms after a workout, drink extra water. Staying hydrated helps improve digestion to keep symptoms at bay.

4. Eat smaller meals. To avoid heartburn, aim to eat up to six mini-meals a day, as opposed to three large ones. The worst? Eating a large meal right before bed. Try to abstain from food or drinks within an hour or two of bedtime. Even a tall glass of water before lying down can trigger symptoms in susceptible individuals.

5. Go easy on caffeine and alcohol-and avoid cigarettes. All three can relax the esophageal sphincter muscle, which normally keeps stomach acid from splashing up into the esophagus. Carbonated beverages can also cause this problem.

6. Don't eat too quickly. Try chewing slowly and putting your fork down between bites. Hot soups are a good appetizer because they take longer to consume.

7. Wear looser-fitting clothes. Tight belts, waistbands, and pantyhose constrict the stomach, sometimes triggering reflux.

8. Find ways to relax. Stress may increase stomach acids, raising the likelihood of heartburn.

9. Aim to lose a few extra pounds. The pressure of excess weight-especially around the abdomen-increases the chance that stomach acid will backwash into the esophagus.

10. Try chewing gum. This can boost the production of saliva, which neutralizes stomach acid.

11. Bend with your knees. Bending over at the waist tends to promote heartburn symptoms.

12. Elevate the head of your bed. Place blocks or bricks under your bedposts to raise the head of your bed 6 inches. Elevating your head and chest during sleep helps prevent nighttime reflux. A wedge pillow may also work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.108.241.23 (talk) 21:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Big Tray Class Land Battleship (Gundam).jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Big Tray Class Land Battleship (Gundam).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 uploaded, 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) 13:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:DD(X) Advanced Gun System.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DD(X) Advanced Gun System.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 18:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hey Tom, just a quick question. Seeing as though you are the lead coordinator on the Military History WikiProject, I have to ask/tell you something. Recently on the Trojan War article, the infobox was removed. Now, I'm not sure what your policies are regarding the use of the box, but the article states that it may be used for any conflict. Since this article falls under the MilitaryHistory Project of Wikipedia, I was wondering if you could convince the editors down there to readd the infobox. The Trojan War was a real conflict, whether or not all the facts are completely straight, and I want this article to be treated fairly. Thank you for your time sir. Reply back on my talk page please.--Valkyrie Red (talk) 00:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Sir, I have made too many mistakes in the past to try and do anything by myself. I would be honored if you would help me reach a new consensus in re-introducing the box. My many thanks--Valkyrie Red (talk) 01:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tom, I was the person who originally added the criticism section. I do think that it was valid and it would be nice to discuss a way to include it while maintaining the standards set for wikipedia. Could you please let me know what was lacking or in what way the section violated wiki rules. The criticism mentioned has been widely covered by game industry media and in one case garnered 250,000 names on a petition to encourage changes. So I do feel that it meets the notoriety requirements. But I am still fairly new to wikipedia edits so I very much appreciate any insight or direction you might give me. Thanks :) Zuchinni one (talk) 17:21, 30 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the good advice and encouragement. I thought about what you said regarding the development section and I believe you are right, that any additions go in there.  After all the product IS still in development and we don't know what the final results will be.  I've been doing a lot of searching on the web for various reliable sources and I currently have 8 original sources that would probably qualify as reliable under the wikipedia guidelines.  They include the original interview with the Blizzard founder and article from four different gaming websites discussing the issues.  Once a final decision is reached regarding inclusion please feel free to tell me if the articles I've referenced don't meet the wiki standards Zuchinni one (talk) 21:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Re:StarCraft II
please forgive my errors in formatting here. i believe you recently reverted an edit of mine to the starcraft 2 page while i was attributing sources. i now understand that 2 of the sources i was using were inappropriate, however the third source which i was putting up as you reverted the article is should be appropriate. in the event you remember the incident in question i present the 3rd of many potential sources, for your acceptance or denial.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=129301

although the source is on a forum, the relevant portion is the transcript of interviews. the forum is merely there to facilitate comments on the article. the site is the premier starcraft and starcraft 2 english language newsite, and trusted throughout the starcraft 2 community. further, the material i was presenting in the edit under criticism is universally accepted to be fact. i understand the need for verifiable information, and it is clear i should have spent more time planning my edit, but the edit was perhaps 15 minutes old when you reverted it.

in closing i appologize for using at least to inappropriate sources, but i would greatly appreciate a thumbs up or down on the source i provided above for future reference.

thank-you in advance for your attention in this matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremysaint (talk • contribs) 09:00, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Centralized Milhist discussion
Hey Tom, I wanted to throw this past you before I toss it to the wolves:

I was browsing the Signpost today, and while I normally merely skim over the features and admins page, I noticed that all too often, I was seeing the results of closed discussions where I would have like to have had some part in (such as Featured article review/S-mine/archive1). I was wondering if there is a centralized place to see military-related discussions? I am aware that WikiProject Deletion sorting/Military‎ exists (mostly for AfD, the other XfDs don't tend to get listed because it has to be done manually), and that most ACR and FAC/FAR tend to be listed at WT:WPMILHIST. In the case of the latter, however, I can't watchlist the page because the edits are so frequent that it would swamp my watchlist, and the notice for the example above was buried anyway. I was hoping that if such a page didn't exist, we could look into creating it so that editors can watchlist one page and get all the updates they need to the status of articles in our scope, and maybe notices to actions on prominent MILHIST editors (such as RfA or ArbCom).  bahamut0013  <sup style="color:#000;margin-left:-1px">words <sub style="color:#000;margin-left:-16px">deeds 20:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Honest question
Can you give me a short overview what you consider bias and more important how people who are bias, work this into articles? Eventually you have to face the "double standart" question. Regarding the fact that you avoided to commit yourself to much to the issue, your postion at the moment is some kind of "pleasent" while other people already are behind the point of no return. So maybe you want to start discuss asap... Blablaaa (talk) 21:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

 * You are supporting, encouraging, and repeating Caden's unfounded allegations that there is an anti-German cabal at Milhist. That's enough for me. I can tell you with certainty that there is no such cabal. If there was, I would certainly know about it and would have exposed it for what it was long ago. As I said on the RfC, I wouldn't stand for shit like that.
 * As long as you continue to repeat and/or believe Caden's ridiculous claims, I will have no further part in dialogue with you, because you are simply slandering my respected colleagues, people I work with on a regular basis to improve Milhist and the encyclopedia. I don't have time to deal with shit like this. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  23:03, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I never said there is an anti german bias on milhist, i claim their is a pro british. I also did not say something how heavy this is, it can be slight like everymens bias or heavy. Your assumption that it is certain that there is NO bias is a contradicting of human psychology. Read wikis of other nations regarding topics of national interessts. The question is the amount of bias. And if it is too much, and i think it is. While my bias was never prooven via diffs i will try this. If correct standarts will be applied one diff alone should be enough because for my bias no diff was needed. Blablaaa (talk) 23:15, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tomstar,

Thanks for letting me know. What I was trying (Unsuccessfully) to do was to generate some footprints to this article. As you can see from the state of the Review, there's been the usual checks but not very many content coverage comments as such.   Perseus 71  talk 00:10, 12 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Apologies for bothering you again. But this article was archived by the BOT as not promoted ostensibly for lack of support. That makes me wonder if it at all hit the urgent marker at all ? Yes I do understand the overwhelming number articles and shortage of reviewers. So here's my question. Should I renominate given that there were no oppose ? More so, is there a point at all for me to renominate it ? This is a first for me that the nomination was archived for lack of response so some advice would be appreciated.

university
I just finished reading through your "what I am up to" section on your userpage, and noticed the bit about your Masters' Degree troubles. I just wanted to let you know I share your angst. It seems as though they deliberately put bureaucracy in place solely for the sake of frustrating people (have you ever tried to find out about Residence room arrangements/applications?). Best of luck; my prayers are with you. Cam (Chat)(Prof) 04:57, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That seems like a rather poor publicity choice on the part of UTEP, especially given that a portion of the tier 1-4 ranking system is based on the assessment of former and current students. It seems even more perplexing given that that's also where you did your undergraduate degree, and are thus an alumnus. I could theoretically see a justification for much of their behavior if it were a university that had no previous record, interaction or experience with you (or if it were the Ivy Leagues or "Oxbridge", I suppose), but that isn't the case. None of that sits well for UTEP's future if your case is the rule rather than the exception (which I'm guessing is the scenario here...); pissed off alumni don't donate to the school. If you are jaded and marginalized by the institution, you're not about to shell out part of your paycheque to it after you're done there. Given UTA and UTEP's relatively close stats in terms of student numbers (21,000 undergrads vs 17,000 undergrads; similar size comparison of University of Calgary and Queen's University on my side of the border), any difference in reputation and funding is purely based on their performance.

FYI, I restored an article that you deleted.
You deleted Angamoozhy, which was nominated for speedy deletion as lacking enough context to identify the subject. At the time you deleted it the first line was "Angamoozhy is a village in Pathanamthitta district located in Kerala,India." which clearly establishes that this is about a village in Kerala, India. I have therefore restored the article. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:45, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I disagree with your undeletion, however I am not going to argue or debate the points of the undeletion. My recommendation would be to go to WP:INDIA and ask there two cents on the matter, as its members would likely be in a position to decide what course of action is best for the article. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:51, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you may have missed the point. Whether the article deserves to be kept in the long term is not really the issue, you deleted it as lacking sufficient context to identify the subject when context was clearly established in the first sentence. I have added it to both the India and Kerala wikiprokjects so that they can asses the article. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

elections
I did promise to look seriously at running for coordinator this September. What are the requirements--did they change based on the 1 election per year decision, or....? auntieruth (talk) 21:08, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing has changed from last time in so far as requirements are concerned: we are still looking for editors willing spend time on reviewing and article assessment, and to help oversee the administrative aspects of milhist as a whole. The only major difference is that this time around the coordinators will hold office for a full year instead of six months - done in the hopes that, with longer terms, we may be able to accomplish more since our lineup will not change as often as it has been. Like Rodger, I too would encourage you to run: I feel that you would make an outstanding coordinator for the project. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:09, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration, but I have to respectfully decline. I simply don't have the time or the motivation to dedicate to the requisite administrative tasks. For one, my participation in content review was limited to two cases: one with minimal input and work from myself, and the other... well, we both know that the naval gunfire debate article didn't go so hot. And though I know it's not a requirement, I don't even have the admin bit. I suppose if you feel you need some more blood after the election, I wouldn't resist being co-oped, but that is out of a sense of duty and need.

And, TomStar suggests we post  to our Talk pages, so that we know about the ongoing reviews.  But, right at the moment, that does not seem to display what it should, at least not how i have it posted on my Talk page now.

Hi, I reworked your lead a bit. Perhaps we could let it stand a bit for discussion and further contributions.

Tom, I goofed in my prior commnets. Betweent he time I read your changes and got in to edit, Parsecboy had saved his changes. I actually edited his work, not yours. I really like the rich information that you brought in and by itself it would make a fairly complete short article. However, I think that you probably have a bit too much information for a lead section. Typically Wp leads are fairly brief overviews, then the meat is in the subsequent paragraphs. Unfortunately in a longer article there is so much detail in the subsequent paragraphs, that the continuity of the "story" is lost. Let's talk more. --Kevin Murray (talk) 19:39, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hammersoft (talk) 18:34, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
