... these concern Giant space magnet of death.

Hi Shoaler, randomly browsing your talk page just now, I came across this curious entry. I would be very interested to know more about the Giant space magnet of death, and I wonder if wikipedia should contain an article which describes it. Bards 22:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain your undeletion of Glamorous cumbia? --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 22:22, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The article is original research and the term itself appears to be a neologism. Moreover, the user who created it was a hoaxer. I'll see if I can revive the VfD and decide what to do with it, since most of the text is salvageable. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:34, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your application of the cleanup tag to "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"

[edit]

You applied the cleanup tag to the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" article. That tag displays a message to readers that says:

"To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup.
See rationale on the talk page, or replace this tag with a more specific message. Editing help is available.

But you didn't start a discussion on the talk page. IMO, that is irresponsible. This is a bee in my bonnet because there was another wikipedian who used to track my edit history, almost like a stalker, and apply all kinds of bogus tags. He wasn't prepared to enter into serious discussions on talk pages, because, I believe, he wanted to abuse the wikipedia to get across his political points. One sign that he wasn't seriously interested in improving the wikipedia was the frequency with which he didn't initiate discussions to solidify the case for applying the tags he used. Alternatively he would boiler-plate in some patent nonsense.

If I am going to challenge his mis-use of tags, I am going to have to question other people, who apply tags, but don't follow through by initiating the discussion. -- Geo Swan 21:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:QuincyParishChurch.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

impressive

[edit]

Yeah, that's totally fine by me. It's just that "5 star" directly implies a rating by one of the major sources like AAA, Mobile or Michelin. It's certainly a notable hotel, if not the most famous nat'l park hotel --its just that to a lot of travellers, 5-star implies a level of luxury that would seem absurd in Yosemite: imagine the Hotel Imperial or Burj al-Arab in a national park ;-) All the best. --Bobak 20:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

APL function symbols

"Take" is currently listed as U+2191, but my Unicode (5) tables show this as unassigned... what is this meant to be? porges(talk) 10:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a Unicode expert but the up-arrow shows up at 2191 on [2]. Feel free to fix it though if you think it's wrong. –Shoaler (talk) 13:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ooops, I made a mistake typing that message. The Unicode reference was right but the character actually in the table was U+088F, which is unassigned. I've fixed it now :) porges(talk) 21:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

It seems odd, but the only links on disambiguation pages should be those to the listed articles.

Don't forget to subst: templates!

[edit]

Hi,

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Thanks! :)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SomeoneLikeYouDahl.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:SomeoneLikeYouDahl.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 12:05, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Virtues & otherwise of 'prioritize'

[edit]

Hi, Shoaler. Not a big deal, but am a tad puzzled why you consider use of prioritize in first sentence of the Libertarianism article "either wrong word or ambiguous." My on-board dictionary gives the following:

prioritize verb 1 we must prioritize pollution control emphasize, concentrate on, put first, focus on, fast-track, expedite, make a priority. 2 they prioritize patients according to need rank, order, hierarchize, triage; grade, class, categorize.

prioritize verb [ trans. ] designate or treat (something) as more important than other things : prioritize your credit card debt. • determine the order for dealing with (a series of items or tasks) according to their relative importance : age affects the way people prioritize their goals | [ intrans. ] are you able to prioritize?

It's not, admittedly, the most attractive of words but in this context, rather than being ambiguous, seems more specific & forceful than your substituted give priority to, with the additional virtue that it chimes by contrast with minimize in the clause that follows. Please illumimate. Thanks :D Wingspeed (talk) 15:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wingspeed, My dictionary only gave the second meaning, to put in priority sequence. I suspected that it was being used in the first sense, to make first in priority, but my first reaction when I saw it was uncertainty as to what was meant. I guess I come from an era when any use of "prioritize" was considered sloppy English. If you have a better word or phrase to use there, I would certainly not object.–Shoaler (talk) 13:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Celia Thaxter

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Celia Thaxter, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

"About" template

[edit]

I saw you added a message to the top of Biding My Time, pointing to another page with a similar title. There is a template that should be used for this. It used to be called "about", and has recently been renamed to the rather bad name of "otheruses4", but the word "about" is equivalent and still works (and I prefer to use it, because I think there is a good chance the official name will change back). Here is some documentation about it:

Template:Otheruses4

In the article, I replaced your change with this one:

{{about|a song by Pink Floyd|the George and Ira Gershwin composition|Bidin' My Time}}

which displays like this:

I also moved it to the very top of the article, before the infobox coding. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 13:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated APL function symbols, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/APL function symbols. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Fair use rationale for File:Dr Frank by Press2.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dr Frank by Press2.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) 14:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Dr Frank by Press3.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

[edit]

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 Wikipedia: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) 18:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Back in 2005, you participated in an AFD discussion this article. It was kept, but I have renominated it for deletion. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Very Secret Diaries (2nd nomination). Robofish (talk) 01:53, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Paul Fargis has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
