Not reliable

I want to ask you why my link to the cities in North America was unreliable?. Cocoliras (talk) 23:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

You should check the talk:North America page. You are adding information that is relevant to Central America in an article that regards North America about the top-10 cities. No central America city makes the list, according to the UN, which is a reliable source. Your strong bias has been noted here, where you state that "Central America currently has more influence and popularity than North America." Sorry, original research in articles isn't favored. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 20:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

You do not know what I mean, do you? I'm just trying to let people know that these are among the ten largest cities, but that other latter cities are also among the largest. Also, as you said, the list was for metro areas, you changed that, cause it was originally based on the population of the cities, well, you aren't taking in fact their size and extension.

Man this dispute is a headache to me, and possibly to you as well. But I never wanted (well I did at a certain time) to cause any damage. I just want to tell the ones who read the article (readers) in what way do we refer to it, since North America has a dozen of meanings and we just refer to one, that's why the hatnote and to let them seek the largest cities that are above the 10 largest, but that instead, are among the 100th largest.

Welcome to WikiProject Universities!

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Universities! Our goals are to standardize the structure and content of all college and university articles, improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of these articles (hopefully propelling them to featured article status), and serve as the central resource for all discussions and information related to colleges and universities on Misplaced Pages.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The university infobox is one way we hope to standardize our coverage of university articles. All university pages should have this infobox, and relevant fields should be filled in and sourced.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has a few expanding departments, which handle article quality assessment, member recruitment and project awareness and article improvement collaborations.
• We have a Student Affairs task force that focuses on Student affairs-specific articles.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask one of the project participants or post a question on the talk page. We'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! —- Jameson L. Tai 03:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

UK GA Review

Tell me when you are through editing (adding facts) to UK, and I will review the article for you. I am currently in the process of reviewing UF. So, please take your time. (Hint: the UK image in the beginning needs a rationale). Thanks! :-D miranda 10:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I believe it has been adequately taken care of. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

ACTC GA Nom

Thanks for taking some interest in Ashland Community and Technical College. If this article passes GA, we'll have a model for getting the other KCTCS colleges to GA. Perhaps that could even become a task for WikiProject Kentucky and its child projects. Let me know if I can help with the ACTC GA. Acdixon 13:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You're more than willing to contribute! I found some information regarding the consolidation of something in the Big Sandy district, which I'll post and link to here later today. I can find some for Bluegrass, which was a part of UK's system (like Ashland years before) until IIRC, 2006. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, nearly all of them were members of the UK system at one time. Big Sandy used to be Prestonsburg Community College, I think. Let's just say I'm close to KCTCS, so I'd like to see those articles improved. Hopefully, Ashland will become a model so we'll know what we need to accomplish to get the others promoted to GA. Acdixon 15:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, thats good to hear. I couldn't find much in the way of articles for ACTC outside of record enrollment and some plays. I lived only minutes from ACTC for 20 years, and now I pretty much live a minutes walk from UK, so both are pretty personal projects for me. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Regarding..

My article summary. It was a typo, I meant "I've known OF this band.."

Just making things clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Takenforaride77 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Dominican Day Parade

Please assist me not to sure what this means " (Reverted 1 edit by UnclePaco; Per discussion, POV: please introduce something a bit more substantial with more RS. (TW)) (undo) " thanks UnclePaco (talk) 04:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

As stated on the article talk page for Dominican Day Parade, and by others,

• The image is a generic image and provides little to no context to the article. It's not related to the topic of the main article, which is the parade itself, and really doesn't serve a clear, illustrative purpose, per WP:IMAGE#Pertinence and encyclopedicity.
• The text is pushing a slanted point-of-view in an article that has very little text otherwise. While it did have a reliable source, it included nothing of a secondary/opposing viewpoint and very little context outside of some arrests.

Hope this helps, Seicer (talk) (contribs) 04:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

If you look at both the photos on the page you'll see that I am the author of both of them. The image I don't think was generic it was actually one of the individuals who had committed a crime mentioned in the links.

I have actually elaborated on the article and inserted it. If you look at these two articles http://en.wikipedia.org/Labor_Day_Carnival#Violence and http://en.wikipedia.org/Puerto_Rican_Day_Parade#Controversy they have controversy and violence sections that were less developed. Anyway thanks for the help UnclePaco (talk) 05:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Dear Seicer, Thank you for voting in my RfA, which closed successfully with 34 support, 2 oppose, and 0 neutral. I appreciate your support! I promise I will wield the mop wisely, and do my best to improve Misplaced Pages. -- AKeen (talk) 15:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

block

so why dont you block humanusticus--Orkh (talk) 11:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not an administrator, but your edit history shows great incivility towards other editors and you have been warned as such. Given that, Humanusticus may be a bit winded, but hes not overly incivil. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 17:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanx

For the revert .--Sandahl 04:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

No prob. Just noticed it from recent changes. Not like the obnoxiously large header gave it away. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 04:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

False anon IP AIV

I posted a stern warning to the talk page. However, since this has happened before, if you provide diffs for previous spurious AIVs (and their removals) I will block. I take a very dim view of misuse of AIV ... this is the first time I've ever come across one done to try to and harass another user. Daniel Case (talk) 04:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

With pleasure!

I found some of these on my own and blocked the IP for three months and CompScientist for four days. I am really disgusted by this. Daniel Case (talk) 05:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

No kidding. I came across it at WQA and thought that it was a routine content dispute, but it was just one sock after another. Thanks for the assistance, it was much welcomed! Seicer (talk) (contribs) 05:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Cayra

Thanks for your help. That was definitely a situation where I was too lenient because of my own involvement. I'm thinking that in hindsight it would have been best to take it to WQA. Other thoughts? --Ronz (talk) 03:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Prime Signature dispute

please be patient ...I am working on a response ...--Billymac00 (talk) 17:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem, just let me know if you need any assistance. It's on my watchlist as well. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 17:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Romney

You left the following message at my talk page: "You have essentially turned Mitt Romney's history into an elongated rant against his religion, imposing not text relating to Mitt Romney, but to the religion. Please cease and take your discussions to the talk page."

Seicer, if you look at the history of the article, I have been opposed to the exact thing that you criticize me for. On December 4, I wrote: "If it were up to me, his great-grandparents wouldn't be in this article at all."

Others demanded extensive discussion of Romney's religion, and I have always said it is excessive. When others refused to acknowledge the inappropriateness of turning the Romney article into a lengthy discussion of Mormonism, I tried my best to alleviate the undue weight given to that topic. As recently as today, I again urged that the section on his religion be dismantled, and the material dispersed to appropriate sections, including sections located much later in the article.

Would you please reconsider the message you left at my talk page? I am a Romney supporter and contributor. However, I have always tried to be even-handed and neutral at Misplaced Pages.Ferrylodge (talk) 19:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, it was misdirected. I should read further into the WP:ANI case. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 19:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I hope you read about it. This article definitely could use more eyes watching it, IMHO.Ferrylodge (talk) 20:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Mediation Commitee

It is my pleasure to inform you that your request to become a member of the Mediation Committee has been successful. I encourage you to place the Mediation Committee page and Misplaced Pages:Requests for mediation on your watchlist, as well as the open tasks template, which will be updated as new cases are accepted. You are also encouraged to join the Committee's internal mailing list; please email me directly so I can confirm your email before subscribing it. If you have any questions about how the Committee functions, please feel free to ask me. Congratulations!

For the Mediation Committee, WjBscribe 02:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a difference in Misplaced Pages. I assure you that I will strive to be upfront and responsible for my actions and duties. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 02:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Rudget!
