== Sebastiane Award ==

I have been able to read the comments you made to my article.
First of all, I am not an expert in wikipedia, but to show the "relevance" of "Sebastiane Award" I have included two references more.

This is an award equivalent to Teddy Award (International Film Festival of Berlin) or Lion Queer (International Film Festival of Venice) (both ot them in wikipedia), in english.
Sebastiane Award has its equivalent in spanish (and bask) wikipedia ("Premio Sebastiane").

In the first reference I have included the official page of International Film Festival of San Sebastiane where it is mentioned the 2010 winner of Sebastiane Award.

Please let me know if this is enough. Thank you very much <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 09:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:It would really help at this point if you had independent news sources so that you could back up the award a bit. Otherwise the article is pretty solid. ] (]) 07:04, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I have added more references (independent new sources) in order to improve the article as you have commented on

== Collapsing Opposites ==

Hello Kevin,
Thank you for reviewing my article on .
You have said that my "suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject" and that I should see Misplaced Pages's . I have looked at this link and I believe my suggestion does indeed explain the importance and significance of the subject. Misplaced Pages's guidelines for music-related topics states that:

"A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria:

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.

*This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries except for the following:

o Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.

o Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.

o Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.

4. Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country."

The third paragraph of my suggestion CLEARLY meets criteria items 1 and 2 on this list, with multiple independent reliable non-trivial sources cited to back it up. The fourth paragraph of my suggestion clearly meets criteria item #4 on this list with one independent reliable non-trivial source cited to back it up.

This suggestion is worthy of inclusion in wikipedia. Please give it another chance.
Thank you,

:I just don't feel as though it is notable. Yes it is in independent sources, but putting "The band has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works appearing in reliable independent sources such as..." into an article is probably one of the worst things you can do to it (trying to assert notability so blatently is looked down upon here). I'll let someone else review it but not a lot of people are active at the moment doing stuff so it might take some time. ] (]) 22:34, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Okay... I didn't realize that stating something like that was such a faux pas. :) I have edited that part out to make it not so blatant. Could you approve the article now since it does clearly meet wikipedia's criteria for notability? thanks.] (]) 01:31, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

== Re. ] ==
Hi, the creator of that submission came into IRC to ask for help with his article. As far as I can see, the submission is well-sourced, so may I know why did you decline the submission as unsourced or containing only unreliable sources? I checked and it seems that company websites can be used as sources in employees' articles. ] ] 12:43, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
:I guess that was because it was the best one that fit, even though it was quite off so that should've been a custom thing. If you look at the sources, they are mostly the same websites. I would like a diversity of sources though so that we can back up these statements a bit. I know that there are five sources but I would like sources that aren't company information ones. If that is all that is out there, then I guess we can accept it. ] (]) 22:34, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

I suggested marking his page as something that would change based on current events due to recent Wikileaks. As an ambassador for the US, isn't he notable enough to require this? He already had a page, and he may have to be replaced which is significant in US foreign policy in that region.

== Question page move ==

I question the disambiguation ''(musician)'' that you moved this article to
None of the sourced content in the article appears to refer to his musical accomplishments in any way. All of the coverage which makes him notable is related to his "exploits" within the virtual realms of the internet. ] ] ] 00:04, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
:The thing with placing "internet" after it is that it makes the subject appear as a web browser or something like that. Looking back, "internet personality" or something would be better suited for it. ] (]) 01:51, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

== ] ==

I'm a little concerned about the fact you placed this article on hold because of unreliable sourcing- it was sourced to a journal entry and a published book on medical science. ] (]) 21:51, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
:And what on earth is going on with ]? There's nothing wrong with book sources. Yes, there are issues with the article (lack of footnotes, POV, tone) but the lack of "non-book sources" is not one of them. If you're concerned it's a complete hoax, a quick confirms that it isn't. ] (]) 22:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
::And, for God's sake, if you're creating a new user's talk page, ''create it with a welcome note''. Not a great big "fuck you, there are problems with your article". When you're working at AfC, you're the face of Misplaced Pages. As anyone who is using AfC is almost certainly acting in good faith, it could at least be a smiling face. ] (]) 22:14, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
:::The first one I wanted to be cautious on, the second one is showing a personal bias of mine to have a diversity of sources to strengthen it and the third issue could maybe be addressed by writing it into the script. I have done lots of new talk page creations in the past month and a half before but no one has asked me to do that yet. ] (]) 01:58, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
::::That's absolute bollocks, and if you don't recognise it as that, you really shouldn't be working with AfC. What was wrong with the sources of the first one? You wanted to be "cautious" and not accept ''peer reviewed journals''? And I don't care about your personal biases- leave them at the door, or don't edit, the sourcing was fine. As for the last one, you can't blame the script for your own ineptitude. If nothing in the script is appropriate, do it manually. A script does not excuse you from bad editing. Seriously, do you not recognise how off-putting your edits are to new users? These were two articles on academic subjects, and were well sourced. These weren't kids writing about garage bands, these were intelligent, educated people, and the impression you've given them is that the sources they're using aren't acceptable. ] (]) 22:20, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::The reason I've come across this is because the authors in question have come onto the IRC help channel basically saying "I need more sources? Why, what's wrong with the sources I did use?" and, when I check the article, expecting links to blogs, I see ''they're fine''. New editors are to be handled with care; the fact they're putting articles through these processes shows that they are almost certainly acting in good faith, they're just looking for a bit of help. Take your time, be welcoming, help them out, specifically explain any issues and, if necessary, get your hands mucky and help rewrite the article yourself. The scripts are useful for garage bands and such, but articles that stand a chance may benefit from manual editing. It's not a race; you're doing important work, try to give it the respect it warrants. ] (]) 22:33, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::I would be willing to help add a welcome template, and maybe set it up to go with the AFC template if we could get someone to help recode the one that is already there. Personally I would also like to see if we can discuss fixing up the rather generic reasoning templates as they also don't cover everything and are a bit harsh (I just touched up a few of them which are rather cold right now, ). I'm wondering if we should add a parameter that would request that more sources be found or we add a variety because even if it is sourced to a blog, who are we to say that the website won't die next week and it is essentially sourceless (this assumes that the Internet Archive also doesn't have a copy of it). Thanks for your critisism and I look forward to hashing out something with you in the coming few days. ] (])
:::::::My point about the blogs was that they are unreliable, not that they are online... A "variety" of sources is by no means a necessity, as long as there are sources and they are reliable. Plenty of featured articles would not be sourced to a "variety" of sources by your definition, it's not an issue. We need to focus on the issues that already exist in articles, not invent issues of our own. ] (]) 23:10, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::::Oh, sorry for missing the blog point. I do know that they are unreliable and that almost anyone can invent anything and post it with many people believing them. I also don't mean to imply I will fail an article because it doesn't meet expectations, but I only mean to encourage them to make the article better. If they can't do something, then we accept the article and move on. ] (]) 01:25, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm almost terrified to look at your contributions, but I just came across edit. How many reliable sources do you actually want? No way does that fail A7, and I strongly, strongly doubt it would be deleted at AfD. The article now has bordering on a ridiculous number of sources, and it was sitting there languishing because you'd declined it... ] (]) 02:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:Looking at it, it looks like I'm becomming too exclusionist in a way and being overly cautious. See above for what happened but I unintentionally declined it that time after pledging not to touch it. That was my fault and I feel horrible for breaking that promise. Sorry for that. ] (]) 02:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== (12) ==

Just curious — what's the point of the (12) following the author's name in the first citation of ]? It looks like a typo to me, but I don't want to remove it and find that I mangled something. ] (]) 13:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:I originally thought it was the actual day in the citation template thing but realized months later that I was wrong. I'm suprised I missed that one but I'll go correct it now. ] (]) 16:16, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

:{{tps}}Hello; you are referring to ], correct? Place the code {{tlx|db-author}} on the page, which will put it in the category ]. This code will also produce a ] saying that the creator and main content contributor of a page wants it deleted. An administrator will review it and see if it is fit for deletion. Since db-author falls under ], it should be fairly non-controversial, and you can also just request that it be deleted like you did above. I don't think there are any restrictions on deleting AfC candidates (correct me if I'm wrong). I would be happy to delete it if you wish (I'm just not 100% positive what page you're referring to. For future reference, it'd be good to include a ] to the page you mention.) Happy editing, ]] 14:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

::I believe that SusanWynneThomson would like the page ''moved'' because the title has a spelling error in it. I have been away for the past two weeks, just now looking at my talk page. SusanWynneThomson requested I change the title. I looked into it to see if it had been resolved, which led me to your talk page. I can move it now if that is what SusanWynneThomson wants.

Thanks for reviewing my DYK nomination ]. As you may have noticed, that a first for me. I was just wondering, what happens now? Do I just wait until it's selected to be put on the main page? Also, I wondered if my hook was too tame. I almost wrote "...in Brussels, in 1633, a woman died in convulsions and three days later the fetus was spontaneously expelled in a rare event called ''']'''? Would that be too gory or offensive? Does the DYK people watch for that sort of thing? ] (]) 00:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
:At this point, you can just wait. It used to be that they would pick from articles that were the oldest and place them on the main page but now it could be tomorrow or two weeks from now. In terms of the hook, the funkier, the better. Something like, "In 1633, ] a dead woman?" would work because it sounds cool, doesn't describe the situation, and makes the reader want to know why it happened. I'm not sure, but that might even work for the April Fools Day run since it's that odd. If you want to put it there, just tell me and I can see that it will be moved.

Then fill out as much as you can about the Vuilleumier and Vuilleumier reference. When you ok this, it inserts a proper book cite template into the text.

Hello, I am a student at Montana State University and one of my classes is Native American Studies.

Hey Kevin, hope all is well.

I have started editing for the article titled The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, and through some research have discovered some graphs that explain the act pretty well from the American Hospital Association. I was wondering if you know what the process would be to use these images on a Misplaced Pages page. Would that be considered fair use, or would it violate copyright?

:Personally, I would like to see the graphs first because you might be able to find the information and create your own graphs, thus skirting any potential copyright violations as you are the one who made it. I also noticed on the article that you removed a broken link. This is fine, but you also might want to check out in the future so that you will be able to see old pages that no longer might be up. It is a really neat site and really works wonders when you need it. The only downside is that some sites won't allow their pages to be archived. The link that you removed though doesn't even show up in the archive so you are doing quite well for starters. Keep up the good work! ] (]) 21:06, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== 14 Test Squadron / 14th Missile Warning Squadron ==

Hey, I was wondering if I could explain my redirect of the article. Basically, it duplicates the other article in the crucial ways. On top of this, I feel as though having one good article is better than two separate articles. Finally, the real reasoning behind my merger is that this is the same unit. If you look at my reasoning on T:TDYK, you will see what I mean since I am not going to say all of this again. I would also like to continue discussion there but I am honestly suprised that The Bushranger didn't merge it before I did. ] (]) 23:58, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

:Here’s little background on why I created two separate articles. ] had more ] to the 14th MWS than any other un-written article—which is why I decided to research and write article about that unit. Wiki-Calif and Wiki-Maine projects also had red-links to 14th MWS. It was active duty unit engaged in 24/7 Cold War ops with hundreds of troops located around the country--clearly something that needed to be written about. By contrast, 14th TS Test only has 29 troops when they’re fully manned, all located at Colorado Springs; and the only red-link to 14th TS was on a wiki-list of all AF test unit. When I discovered heritage link between the two units I considered consolidating them into single article, but because 14th MWS was far more interesting and important, I decided on two separate articles. That way readers interested in MWS could read about that historic unit without having to read about its successor sqdn. My goal was to offer readers opportunity to read about either unit without forcing them to read all about the other as part of the deal. In any case, you did nice job merging the two articles so I'll leave things alone. However, there were different Wiki-project groups on the two Discussion pages—Wiki-Colorado for 14th TS and Wiki-Oregon, Wiki-Calif, and Wiki-Maine for 14th MWS (wiki-projects with known red-links to 14th MWS). You may want to consider moving those Wiki-project tags over to 14th TS Discussion page—on the other hand, those wiki-projects may not be interested since they don’t have any red-links to 14th TS. Your call whether tags should be moved or not.--] (]) 06:24, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
::Oh shoot, I forgot to do that. I also know that having a ton of "Military in X" categories for places that are no longer hosting the unit is quite weird so I really don't know what to do from there then. I can get onto fixing the rest of this later today though so there should not be a lot of mistakes in the end. ] (]) 06:26, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
::: Doubt if any wiki-groups beside Wiki-Colorado will be interested in 14th TS, even if there is some text about another unit that was once located in thier focus area; but like I said, its your call.--] (]) 15:44, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Greetings! A stub template or category which you created has been nominated for renaming or deletion at ].

Please feel free to make any comments at ] regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first at ]! <small>This message is a boilerplate, left here as a courtesy, and should not be considered personal in nature.</small>

In the case of this particular template, you didn't actually create it, but you changed both its name and scope. Given that stub templates are run uniformly across the entirety of Misplaced Pages, the renaming of one WikiProject doesn't really affect either the scope or name of specific stub templates which may relate to it. Unfortunately, the name of this template was changed to one which runs strongly against WP:WSS naming conventions, and normal practice would have been simply to propose a second template for snowboarding, rather than lumping the two subjects together with one template. ]...''<small><font color="#008822">]</font></small>'' 10:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi. nice charts you've added at ], I've moved them slightly and it would be helpful to add a date in the captions. However I suspect the Pie slices are wrong. The editors in the 3001 to 4,000 group all have roughly 11,000 to 14,000 edits, whilst the 2001 - 3,000 group have between 14 and 20 thousand. So the pie slice for the 3001 to 4,000 group must be more than half the size of the 2001 - 3,000 group. I suspect the ratio is closer to 5-7 but your pie chart is more like 1-7. Would you mind checking that your systems successfully loaded all 4,000 records and didn't some how discard the editors who were between circa 3,200 and 4,000 on the list?

== Marking articles students are working on ==

Howdy, Online Ambassador!

This is a quick message to all the ambassadors about marking and tracking which articles students are working on. For the classes working with the ambassador program, please look over any articles being worked on by students (in particular, any ones you are mentoring, but others who don't have mentors as well) and do these things:

# Add <nowiki>{{WAP assignment | term = Spring 2011 }}</nowiki> to the articles' talk pages. (The other parameters of the {{tl|WAP assignment}} template are helpful, so please add them as well, but the term = Spring 2011 one is most important.)
# If the article is related to United States public policy, make sure the article the WikiProject banner is on the talk page: {{tl|WikiProject United States Public Policy}}
# Add ] (a hidden category) to the article itself. The second phase of the ] has started, and this time we're trying to include all of the articles students are working on. Please test out the Article Feedback Tool, as well. The new version just deployed, so any bug reports or feedback will be appreciated by the tech team working on it.

And of course, don't forget to check in on the students, give them constructive feedback, praise them for positive contributions, award them {{tl|The WikiPen}} if they are doing excellent work, and so on. And if you haven't done so, make sure any students you are mentoring are listed on your ].

will get overwritten by the bot every week. Probably makes sense to switch to a header template or something wherever that list is being copied to/transcluded. --] (]) 01:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
:Ah, that makes sense. By the way, is there any way that we can get the bot to update the master list every week so we don't have discrepancies in data? Thanks. ] (]) 01:48, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
::That poses (or perhaps posed) political problems. I'm not sure what the current situation is. I just know that there was a specific reason that a user sandbox was used instead of a project-space page. --] (]) 01:51, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
:::If you're talking about having a project page with a master list, we have one and people are updating it with your bot's data every so often. ] (]) 01:54, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

FYI, virtually all of the moves you have made to CFB articles (Canadian Forces Base ___) have been reverted. I prefer Official names most of the time, but only when WP:COMMONNAME doesn't take precedence. ] (]) 00:08, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
:I noticed a few months ago, and I really don't feel like starting a war over this. I probably could go at it again and defend myself, but I would need others to help me. What I enjoy is that no one is fixing the main template and that's creating a ton of redirects. People seem to assume that because it is an ex-British colony, all of the bases are going to follow some sort of naming convention. The thing is, even the signs outside of the base are "Canadian Forces Base..." and that is pretty damn official in my opinion. If you want to help defend this, I would be more than willing to move everything back again. Thanks for the notice though as I really appreciate it. ] (]) 01:10, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

::I concur that Canadian Forces Base *** is official, but in this case WP:COMMONNAME makes sense, as nobody uses the full designation unless it is in official documentation. EVERYONE in the CF uses CFB, and the media has picked up on that as well. As long as it appears in the article I think it is fine. I have already reverted the Canadian Forces Base template.

::As a general rule, you should check before making such large, wholescale changes. Usually things are the way they are for a reason. ] (]) 01:58, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Ugh, I'll have to sort this out someday by conducting some sort of straw poll on the Military History project. Thanks! ] (]) 02:04, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

== MBTA South Coast Rail ==

Regarding ], I just wanted to point out that "South Coast Rail" is not the name of a new line, it is just the name of the ''project'' to extend the Commuter Rail from Stoughton south. ] (]) 19:37, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

==RE: 'name fixing in preparation to move' Old Guard article==

Just curious as to what you meant in the edit summary by 'preparation to move'. The article has been moved back and forth several times in the past few years, and the current location is where I moved it to the last time it was moved somewhere else. Since this has been a rather contentious issue in the past -- requiring, among other things, mediation -- I would ask that before moving it anywhere, you bring the issue up on ]. Thank you. ] (]) 06:45, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:I actually can't do anything except move it to some unique title. Furthermore, there should be no abbreviations in the name anyways so it shouldn't be there in the first place. ] (]) 06:59, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually, not only are abbreviations perfectly suitable for Misplaced Pages articles, that's how the Administrators who mediated the case two years ago agreed the article was best named. As a former member of The Old Guard, the abbreviation '(TOG)' is normally what appears as part of the official name. It doesn't need to be moved again, and this ''is'' a unique title. I realize that you're relatively new to this particular article, but there's a group of editors who have been maintaining this page for several years now and have gone through long drawn out discussions on the naming conventions. It's a unique unit in the US Army, so there is a certain latitude for such conventions. Please leave it where it's at. ] (]) 19:03, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:I figured as much as I read over the talk page a bit, just on a whim actually. Oh well, maybe I'll see what others think in a few years and conduct some sort of poll then. Thanks for your information! ] (]) 19:31, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

== ] ==

Hi there, I was reviewing your new article at ] and I think we have a problem. To me, it seems like the article is a ] of the Cape Cod Times obituary. The order of sentences are identical, just a few words here and there have been changed. It is virtually impossible to "cut and paste" and then change an article - you really have to start from scratch your self. Please review the ] and ] guidelines and rewrite the article to avoid infringing on the copywrite status. I will check again in a couple of days, but I don't think it qualifies for DYK in it's current state. Regards, ] (]) 16:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:You may have missed this message, but are you going to rewrite the article to ensure that isn't too close to the newspaper obituary?] (]) 15:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

== Bosnian Genocide ==

Please see ]. You made a bold edit that was reverted. As it was reverted, the page "International response to the Bosnian Genocide " was a content fork of the information contained in the ] article, so I speedily deleted it under "] Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic". If after discussion on ] there is a consensus move the information out into another article only then should such an article be created. -- ] (]) 22:51, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

As you have already found out, PBS is the self-appointed authority on what is or is not a content fork at Bosnian Genocide. He does not always bother to check that there is a consensus before he reaches his decisions. You have probably realised that you have found yourself in a situation which is almost an impasse but in which as Fairview360 notes, there are signs of slow progress. If you have the stomach to stick it out your presence and contributions will be appreciated. And the situation's not entirely negative. Encountering persistent intractability does push you into pursuing a closer understanding of the issues. ] (]) 20:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
:This actually doesn't suprise me much as we always seem to have article issues in the Balkans region. I'll stick it out, but if I ever don't reply within a few days, please by all means feel free to remind me. ] (]) 20:34, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
