Thanks for your help on saving the Dario Poggi article from deletion. I greatly appreciate it. Chris (talk) 20:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

The Simpsons Ride
Could you please take a look at the article? I think it's pretty good on sourcing, but it isn't very well organized (as far as I can tell, there is no theme park MOS, and there are no simulater ride GAs, so the format was done from scratch) so if you could look at it, it would be mucn appreciated. Thanks, Scorpion0422 15:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I think that whenever we deal with fictional accounts we need to be careful. There are accounts of this particular creature that are clearly fictional, yet the reporting in that article is done as though the accounts are not fictional. ScienceApologist (talk) 16:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Many of the legends associated with this creature should be treated as fiction. The expeditions happened, of course, but the basis for them is fictional. ScienceApologist (talk) 17:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The very first sentence describes the thing as a creature as opposed to a story. ScienceApologist (talk) 18:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * You're missing the point. We wouldn't have an article on elves saying that they were creatures "reported" to live in clothes closets that steal socks. The major pieces of notable literature on this subject treats it as a story, not as a reported creature. ScienceApologist (talk) 18:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * You're serious with using a shitty book like that as your main source? Try Google scholar instead, especially look for compilations of folklore and mythology. Those are better sources. ScienceApologist (talk) 18:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm suggesting the reliability and the weight that we should give to claims that this creature is real is about as much as we should give to those advocating for the reality of elves. ScienceApologist (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry. You're just wrong. ScienceApologist (talk) 19:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Bill Russell FAR
You'll be interested to know that I have started my first-ever plagarism check on Wikipedia (or anywhere else, for that matter). No plagarism yet, but I left a couple notes at the FAR on other source matters. I've made a couple changes to the article, in areas that were somewhat close to the source text, as I firmly believe in playing it safe when it comes to this matter. The first 10 references are checked, and hopefully it won't take too long to complete, so attention can be paid to the other fixes the article needs. Giants2008 (talk) 23:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've finished the source check, and left a bunch of notes on the FAR page. I'm particularly concerned about the Personal life section, especially items from the Counter Punch article that was the original problem. Giants2008 (talk) 21:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hee, hee. Yeah. I saw that a few moments before I read your note. I went back up to try to do something about it, but the entire paragraph in question was gone.

thanks for help on List of RHPs in Chicago
Hi -- Thanks for your help on List of RHPs in Chicago, which should be a DYK later today or tomorrow. I am very pleased that it now shows more than 100 photos, and i think it should do well in guiding other article development.

Along those lines, I notice you created Gold Coast Historic District (Chicago, Illinois)... i noticed it included an infobox that varied in some fields from what i would have expected. So i ran the http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php Elkman NRHP infobox generator, and used the output to make some additions/changes. Perhaps you are not aware of the Elkman tool? Hope it might be helpful to you for other articles, as a starter. Sorry if i did edit any deliberate differences you meant to express. Thanks again. doncram (talk) 22:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

References for The Simpsons episode articles
Hey, I'm just curious, where do you usually go to find references for The Simpsons episode articles? Gary <b style="color:#02b;">King</b> ( talk ) 06:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

What do I do?
I wrote an article about Janelle Quintana aka Janelle Manahan. Formerly Janelle was one of the contestants of the reality-based talent search Star Circle Quest in the Philippines. Janelle is now well known outside the contest. In fact, she was on top 6. She currently appears in a TV Show, My Girl. My problem is this user, ISWAK3, who always redirects the article to Star Circle Quest. The Janelle Quintana article is notable and is well referenced. What should i do with ISWAK3? I think he or she is being biased. Most of the article he\she wrote or watches are from the rival network of Janelle's home network. Drakesketchit (talk) 11:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I fixed some of the links.  But sadly, there was one or two links that no longer exist.   There goes ISWAK3 again, he/she redirected the article last night...

List of The Simpsons TV ads
Hi. You participated in the AFD for the list that is now called List of The Simpsons characters in advertisements. I have tried making a lead for that article by finding some sources, but the ones I have access to does not mention anything useful. Could you find something for me? I don't expect it to be more than a couple of lines. It could also be useful to have these lines in the main article. --Maitch (talk) 16:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I leave you with free hands. I just need a few lines for a short lead, to justify the rest of list. I imagine at least a source on the butterfinger campaign. When did it start? When did it end? What effect did it have? You could also have a source saying that the Simpsons are advertising icons as you said. Again it could be nice to know what kind of effect the Simpsons has when advertising for a product.
 * Note, that these are just suggestions. Anything will pretty much do. --Maitch (talk) 09:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for the help. --Maitch (talk) 08:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Bartman
It's getting better but still has a long way to go. I still think the biographical info needs to be gone entirely.

Trump Chicago
Trump International Hotel & Tower (Chicago) recently failed at WP:FAC. Since you have significant past service at WP:CHICAGO and participated in the debate, I am requesting your opinion. The substantive issues of debate seemed to focus on the following issues:
 * 1) Should the article contain a section on the spa. My argument has been that the current plans call for it to be a business consuming two floors of the hotel and the the article can not pass WP:WIAFA 1b without describing it.  Some say the spa is a trivial part of the business and its inclusion represents a form of advertising.  I argue that describing a business operation is not per se advertising, but the perception on WP is that it is, which is why a project like WP:APARKS has no WP:GA or WP:FA articles.  With that in mind do you feel the current section should 1. remain as is.  2. be slightly edited for POV tone. 3. be significantly trimmed for over emphasis 4. eliminated for irrelevance.
 * 2) Should the article contain a section on the bar. Although the case is not as strong for the inclusion of the bar, my argument has been that the easily found WP:RS have described it and the the article can not pass WP:WIAFA 1b without describing it.  I concede the sources are less important sources than for the spa and most of the rest of the article.  With that in mind do you feel the current section should 1. remain as is.  2. be slightly edited for POV tone. 3. be significantly trimmed for over emphasis 4. eliminated for irrelevance.
 * 3) There are three well-sourced (3 New York Times and 2 Chicago Tribune refs) sentences describing the role of Trump's Children. Should they be in the article? Should these sentences 1. remain as is.  2. be slightly edited for POV tone. 3. be significantly trimmed for over emphasis 4. eliminated for irrelevance.
 * 4) There was debate over the need to have links to both List of tallest buildings in Chicago and List of tallest buildings in the United States in the article and further debate on whether to have these same links in the See also section. Please state your opinion on both issues.
 * 5) There seems to be an issue on whether the second setback lines up with Marina City. Do you know of any WP:RS on the issue? If not do you think this should be mentioned in the text?
 * 6) There are numerous words that I have linked that remain contentious with my rationales.
 * see WP:OVERLINK - geography: London, Australia, New Orleans, Louisiana, North Africa, India, United States
 * see WP:OVERLINK - relevant connections to other articles to help reader understand this article:
 * Many readers will be looking for information on the restaurant and they should understand the terms: cocktails, sushi (I have mentioned before that I did not know what the term meant when I was in high school), cuisine, decor, entrees, appetizers,
 * I want readers to understand the features of the building: VIP room, pool, saunas, health club, spa, antennas, parking garage, hotel, swizzle sticks
 * see WP:OVERLINK - references to a page with more information: gemstone, diamond, ruby, sapphire, emeralds, billboard, standing room only
 * see WP:OVERLINK - technical terms: wine racks, wine rooms, architect (I link professions when relevant as technical terms. This particular link has been hotly contested yet I don't believe most people actually know exactly what an architect does), hedge fund, floors (links to storey), business district, interior design, divers (although this goes to disambig page it is difficult for me to say whether to link to scuba diving or surface supplied diving)
 * see WP:OVERLINK - Word usage that may be confusing to a non-native speaker: course, union
 * Please list all of the words above (and any others you may see in the article) that you feel should be delinked.
 * Also, please state whether you think full dates should be linked in this article.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your prompt and helpful responses to most of the questions above. However, Question 6 was one of the most hotly contested topics in the discussion.  Your opinion on linkages would be more helpful than any assurances that you wouldn't object for links.  Whether you would or not, what is important is which links you think should be in the article.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I forgot to state that your opinion on linking full dates is also important.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you generally leave dates unlinked when you author?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought we were suppose to as well although I know nothing about the user preferences argument. Why do you now think I am not suppose to with this article?
 * Is it your understanding that user preferences on dates would matter for July 162008, but not July 16, 2008 I do not understand what the relevance of user preferences is in any way to the argument about whether dates should be linked.  Maybe I will start going to every WP:TFA and delinking dates until I can get an answer.

Alex Ribeiro Garcia
Hi, I moved the name because I feel like using a middle name is better than simply using his occupation or country as a disambiguator. I am currently constructing 2002 FIBA World Championship squads and used this and this as references for his name. Admittedly, Alex Garcia may be more common, but since it is a link to a disambiguation page, I thought this was a better name. If you feel vehemently otherwise, I won't object to moving it back.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 01:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand the naming conventions, but I also see the redirect from Alex Garcia (basketball) as a good way to avoid having to know his full name while still maintaining individuality. Apparently, in international circles, he is known by the current page name, so a Brazilian looking for their countryman might look for his name as such anyway.--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 01:54, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor
Thanks for the heads up. That's the craziest thing I've seen in my 16 or so months on Wikipedia. The contention is that a list of award winners is copied from a list of the winners published by the University of Michigan. The list of winners is not protected by copyright. But more importantly, the text in this article goes FAR beyond what is on the university site. I spent two months refining this to include additional information about each Hall of Fame member. This strikes me as crazy. How/where do I contest this?? 22:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The introductory description was taken from the M Club's web site, but the M Club site was listed as a source. I have now reworded some of that. However, the Club's criteria for admission should probably be listed precisely. Accordingly, I have put that single sentence in quotations with a direct cite to the M Club site. The M Club site was already listed as a general source.  I have also, at your suggestion, left a note about this on the talk page of the person who added the notice.

P and the P
If you have no opjections, then I'm going to nominate the article again. As well, we need 2 season 8 FAs in order to save our FT.

Thanks, Scorpion0422 16:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do about the reviews, but I really think the controversy section should go first. In A Streetcar Named Marge, it is 100% seperate from the reception section, but in this article I think the reader should read the stuff in controversy first so they will better understand the reviews. Do you think that reception should become a sub section of controversy? And I don't think we use too many quotes, the Chris Turner quotes are quite important, and I think the others work well. Could you give an example of one that you think should go? -- Scorpion0422 21:11, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:List of tallest buildings in Columbus, Ohio
Sorry about getting back to you so late - I just got back from a wikibreak. It turns out I put the wrong link on the Columbus list - it was supposed to be this diagram link, which clearly shows that the structure was the tallest in the city at the time of its 1900 completion.

WP:CHICAGO leadership
This month you have indicated new or continuing interest in WP:CHICAGO as either an active or semi-active member. The response to the project membership survey was strong enough that we should attempt to organize it in a more fully functional way. Please sign up at CHICAGO/leadership if you would be willing to serve as a leader of the project from September 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009. The various leadership responsibilities are listed there. The roles will be somewhat similar to the roles of WikiProject Military history/Coordinators. We are a less mature and developed project than WP:MILHIST however, so our division of roles will be slightly different. Please respond by the 23rd.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 18:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Come again? A major character in a long-running series gets unmasked as a fraud? It was cheap, idle storytelling" As far as I know, The Guardian is useable.

Basketball articles
Hi, i would like to ask you to help me with some basketball articles such as Vassilis Spanoulis as it has been overrun by Spanoulis' fans and contains many needless details. Plus the user who edits this article, i believe, is a sock puppet. Can you also discuss the issue of depth charts as many users keep adding them back. I would really appreciate your help. Should you need anything address me at my talk page.Thanks in advance. Sergiogr (talk) 11:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes it's still being discussed and you know what bappens when i ask that they be removed. I get attacked by users like Wiki Greek Basketball and Apollon Hellas (who is the former's sock puppet). As far as Spanoulis article is concerned just see the way it's written and take a look at its talk page. Cheers. Sergiogr (talk) 12:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I would also like help with a user that harasses
He follows nearly every legit edit you make and reverts it. He then accuses you of making previous edits to a page which was someone else doing the edits. he then says those bad edits were yours and reports it to a mod as vandalism. He also accuses people of being "fan boys" if he ever sees an edit he does not like and uses this as justification for "reporting acts of abuse". Such as stating that a player plays shooting guard - he might say "no I disagree only a fan boy would think he can do this, you have been reported for abuse".

Also on the subject of "depth charts" he gets votes deleted off the discussion, something against site rules and constantly deletes depth charts saying "they are NOT allowed and is against site rules". He reports people for abuse if they put them there. Even though it is discusses and they were never "not allowed". He also chooses to only do this for depth charts of a couple teams and completely allows depth charts for numerous dozens of other teams.

On the subject of breaking site rules the violations are numerous and eggregious. Wiki Greek Basketball (talk) 16:32, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Re:Homer Groening
Yeah, I decided to try giving him an article although I was unsure about the notability. He was pretty borderline, he directed a NN film, created a NN comic strip, worked for and created a NN ad agency. Just about the only notable things he did was have Homer named after him and win an award. But put together, you have a slightly notable person. I asked an admin about it, and he thought it should be speedily deleted, so he did it. If you like, I can have the article copied to my (or your) userspace. BTW, I've been doing a lot of work on Homer Simpson as of late. It needs a copyedit, but I'm not too worried about that right now because I'm still expanding it. What do you think of the article? -- Scorpion0422 19:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So what do you think of the article so far? I think the reception and influence sections could still use some expanding. But, you'd be amazed at how hard that kind of info is to find. I've been combing reliable sources using google searching for any mention of Homer, and have had some success, but not as much as I'd hoped. -- Scorpion0422 19:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have the books Leaving Springfield or The Simpsons & Philosophy: The D'oh of Homer? I may have to go to Chapters tomorrow and order them because they probably have some good stuff for an analysis section. -- Scorpion0422 19:42, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

One change I decided to try with the article is adding the season # and year an episode aired after every title mentioned (ie. "Treehouse of Horror XIX" (season 20, 2008). I decided it might not be a bad idea to add it because someone may say "Radio Bart? When the hell did that air) and the answer will be right after the name. What do you think? -- Scorpion0422 22:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know, I would like to nominate the page this Saturday, so could you please take another look so I can address any concerns you might have before then? Thanks, Scorpion0422 14:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've started a copy of the section in my sandbox here. I tried adding (episode, season, year) after each mention of a detail. What do you think? -- Scorpion0422 21:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If it's possible, could you come onto IRC? We'd be able to discuss things quicker. #wpsimpsons Anyway, the section has always had a big question mark on it as to what should go in it and whether or not it should be merged with personality, etc. It is on the small side, can you think of anything that could be added, or would it be better to just merge it? -- Scorpion0422 00:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Anthills.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Anthills.jpg. 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) 03:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

The Principal and the Pauper
Hi, I noticed you undid my comment about Harry Shearer with the note "Not sure what you're getting at". My point is that Shearer's observation is somewhat nonsensical, for the following reason. To buttress his claim that the episode was a mistake, he asserts that the writers never mention it. This supports his claim only if there are other episodes that they do mention. I think it's valid to point out the weaknesses of his criticism. If you agree with my point, I politely request that you revise as you see fit to make it more appropriately.76.94.45.139 (talk) 00:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a fair argument. However, we probably couldn't include that sort of original analysis in the article, because it would violate our original research policy. If an outside source made a similar comment about Shearer's argument, then you could restore what you wanted to say. But otherwise, it's not going to work. Sorry.

I just wanted to thank you again for all the work you've been putting into the copyright problems at User:Moonriddengirl/sandbox. The ones listed at WP:CP are starting to show up now (there's a bunch today), which is a bit time consuming since most of them have to be rewritten completely from scratch, but it looks like we're making serious headway on the list, and at least there will not be any more from that particular contributor. (I don't believe he'll be unblocked unless there's evidence that he understands what's wrong with his contributions.) I have seen some extensive infringement before (all of the articles subsectioned here are by the same contributor), but this is the hands down most time consuming cp issue I've ever encountered.

A Good day to you; I had a look at the article history (and we are now 2 people watching the page :)) ), and if you take a closer look at our protection policy, about 10-15 reverts in a month is simply not enough to justify semiprotection. And not all IP-edits are vandalism, either. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 09:10, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

I did not disbelieve what you wrote, nor did I say that he was telling the truth. I said that the truth or not truth of his statement was irrelevent; even if the source did say what he said it did, he would not have gotten an unblock regardless. Edit warring cannot be justified by being "right".
