List of Kentucky state insignia

Looks like our List of Governors of Kentucky is on its way to FL status. Let me ask your opinion on another list – List of Kentucky state insignia. I recently created this list with the intent of bringing it to FL, but held off on the nom because I thought the lead was too short. However, no one seems to have mentioned this as a problem in the nom for List of state symbols of Maryland, which also has a very short lead. Do you think this list has a chance of making FL? Acdixon 21:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

The only holdups I can see on List of Governors of California would be if someone said the lead was too short or if someone complained about the red-linked amendment. Do you have enough information to stub that in? I wish I had pictures of all the Kentucky governors; that really makes the list look a lot better. Acdixon 21:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

If you're interested, I nominated List of Kentucky state insignia for FL status today. Acdixon 18:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Canada provinces evolution.gif

Hi Golbez!

You've done a really nice job on Image:Canada provinces evolution.gif. It's really impressive. However, I wonder if you wouldn't consider making some changes to it. It appears you used Territorial evolution of Canada for the basis of the map, but British Columbia is drawn with its modern-day boundaries (with no Alaska Boundary Dispute (1867-1903)). On the east coast, it isn't shown that there was a Labrador Boundary dispute; Labrador should be marked as maroon (disputed) from 1912 to 1927, and a small strip of Labrador on its southern border from 1927 to 1949 (or present day). I realize the disputed Alaska boundary would be hard to show, as it's rather narrow, but at least a label with an arrow could make it stand out, and all but a mile of coastal Labrador was disputed from 1912-1927, so it should be colored maroon. Can you fix these? Firsfron of Ronchester 12:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the (incredibly swift!) response, Golbez. The 1949 Labrador boundary decision was odd because Newfoundland was granted more land than it had even claimed in the boundary dispute, and Quebec still apparently claims that southern Labrador strip. Thanks for considering some map modifications. It really is a great map. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 12:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

List of wild mammal species in Florida

Hi Golbez, how are you? Please, I would like to ask, if you have time, for a quick peer review of List of wild mammal species in Florida. Btw, any copyediting would be greatly appreciated to cover my dismal English. :-) Thanks!--Legionarius 05:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits :-). I plan to put it in FLC this week. What did you think about the list?--Legionarius 14:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Questions

Hi,

I am an Assistant Professor of Information Systems at Boston College, and I am researching the development of the Misplaced Pages article on the Virginia Tech Massacre. You were among the top 2% of editors for that article, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to answer a few questions by email. Please also indicate at the bottom if you’d be willing to participate in a short follow-up phone/Skype interview as well.

All of your responses and your participation will be confidential. Please cut and paste the below questions and respond by email to gerald.kane@bc.edu to ensure confidentiality.

I appreciate your help on this project, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Please also let me know if you are interested in receiving a copy of the paper when it is finished.

Thank You, Gerald C (Jerry) Kane, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Information Systems Carroll School of Management Boston College 140 Commonwealth Ave 326 Fulton Hall Chestnut Hill, MA 02478

Questions: 1) On average, how many hours per week do you spend editing articles on Misplaced Pages? 2) Why do you contribute your time and energy to developing Misplaced Pages articles? 3) What types of articles to which do you typically contribute? 4) Why did you choose to become involved in the Misplaced Pages article on the Virginia Tech Massacre? 5) What was your primary role in the process of creating the article on the Virginia Tech Massacre (e.g. copy editing, fighting vandalism, contributing news, managing a particular section, etc?) 6) How was your experience with this article similar to or different than other Misplaced Pages articles to which you have contributed? 7) What were some of the most challenging issues facing the successful development of this particular article on the Virginia Tech Massacre? 8) What do you think were some of the primary reasons that this article was successful (i.e. cited in the press, nominated as a “featured article.”) 9) Is there anything else I should know about the Misplaced Pages article on the VT massacre? 10) Would you be willing to participate in a short phone/Skype interview to talk more about your experience with the article (if yes, I will follow up later by email to arrange it).

Current members of the Maryland House of Delegates

Thank you for your help on the article noted above. I looked through and discovered that you probaqbly had to edit each name one at a time. Above and beyond. from me and geraldk I wanted to say thanks.Marylandstater 18:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help on this article as well as your support.--Southern Texas 21:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting his rantings off my talk page. --Golbez 20:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Gscshoyru 20:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Colours

I swapped two illustrative colours as pink is not appropriate and you had an issue with red. Pink is not appropriate. You said it was just for illustration so I swapped. "pinko" and other epithets have bben used and I suspect the choice for the republican was not by accident. Red, blue or green are all acceptable. Pink and yellow are not. These are political parties and it's silly to ignore that these colors have meaning. Please pick another color that doesn't have an inherently offensive interpretation. --Tbeatty 03:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Not kidding and since it was not offensive to you, why did you revert? I would have thought that a swap would be fine if you didn't really care, but you did care enough to revert the swap. republicans have found it offensive and have made it known to me and I agree that a more neutral color is called for (Neutral as in Neutral Point of View). The colour pink is not offensive. "pink" in the political context IS offensive and it's pretty obvious since Pinko is considered a political epithet. Use pink to highlight numbers on a balance sheet, don't use it to make a political statement about a political party. Find another color. Don't care which. red or blue is historical. Pink is offensive. Yellow would be considered offensive as well. Don't insult my intelligence by pretending that color has no meaning in political or national contexts. Political parties and nations identify with these colors. Please don't offend them by using non-neutral or colors they find offensive. Its no skin off your no nose if it means nothing to you, so why oppose other editors attempts at neutrality? --Tbeatty 03:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

No colours are offensive to me. I just recognize that pink and yellow would be offensive to either republicans or democrats in the U.S. Democrats would be mad if they were portrayed as pink. Pink and progressive have some historical ties though (at least in the U.S., e.g. Code Pink ). Did you read the Pinko article? Red and Blue are historical colors and national colors and would not be offensive to either Republicans or Democrats. Acknowledging that colors have political overtones as you did with your cute rhyme, why would you oppose neutrality? Again, if the colours hold no meaning to you, why do you oppose changing them to a neutral color? Do you not see how the color might be perceived as non-neutral? --Tbeatty 04:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

You are wrong again and your lack of AGF is disappointing. I was contacted by a person who would have a COI if he edited. I have never even seen the shaded articles before the complaint was made. Like it or not, the association of colors exist. Yellow and pink are unacceptable. Red and Blue are historical. No one will care if it's green or other non-offensive color. I don't understand why you don't want to accomodate such an easy neutrality request. This is not an extraordinary request. In politics, image is everything so I don't see what you are opposed to. We accomodate requests such as this all the time. See Pink elephant as well. --Tbeatty 13:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Why are you edit warring over colours you say you don't care about? --Tbeatty 04:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

VartanM

It was not a first instance of an incivil comment by VartanM today. Another one is here: --Grandmaster 07:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I hope he will stop attacking other editors after your warning. --Grandmaster 07:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

There’s another problem I would like to attract your attention to. User:Azizbekov is an obvious sock, which is admitted even by the admins, and he makes repeated personal attacks on other users using obscene language, but no one cares to take any measures. I would appreciate your attention to this issue. Grandmaster 13:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

If you see me act the way I did yesterday, you can block me. Yes I was uncivil and yes I attacked both Grandmaster and Atabek. But if you take a deeper look, you will see that both of them attacked me first and within minutes of each other. That is no way of justifying my actions but I was provoked, and when looking back, I would have no objections if you blocked me yesterday. VartanM 20:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I never ever attacked you. I only mentioned that you made an original research, that’s nowhere near a personal attack. --Grandmaster 04:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

VartanM, would you be so kind to assume good faith and present links as to how I attacked you? I believe the summary here clearly shows who was attacking whom. Thanks. Atabek 05:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Pokemon Movie Articles

Hello, will the Pokemon Movie Articles be unprotected today? Unless I read the edit summary wrong, it should already been expired. Thanks! SpigotMap 15:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know that something about these articles turned up on my talk page. Since you have the good fortune to already be handling this particular operation, I've sort of left it to you :) Hope you're well, Splash - tk 22:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Maps

Hey there, I wasn't joking about the maps on the Nagorno-Karabakh page you know, ;) I was hoping that, at most, two maps are enough for the article. One map showing the general location, cities, towns and neighboring countries (I think this one I made is a good example and one showing the internal divisions. Cheers, --Marshal Bagramyan 23:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Hello, i think the new maps from commons is better then other... and Karbakh is a part of Azerbaijan.. You can see also other rayons of Georgia. Thanks --Baki66 20:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok. but can you show Abkhasia or Ossetien on the map http://en.wikipedia.org/Imereti I dont seen Abkhasia, that reason ich think a new map from commons is ok. Sorry for my English :) Thanks--Baki66 21:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

You write very fast. Ok. the old map can remain there.. --Baki66 21:14, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks. --Vonones 22:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

• I have commented on the noticeboard post. I don't think you should have implemented the block as you were in a dispute with the user, no warnings were given, and no explanation of the block was posted on the user's talk page. Please could you post appropriate blocking messages on the talk pages as soon as possible, while we wait for a decision on the incident. Thanks Papa November 22:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

He is back again; --Vonones 01:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes I'm back, to make "sensible" corrections, as in the Hatay Province article. Read the articles before engaging in a ridiculous revert war, generated by a combination of national pride and "prejudice for the evil other". 151.44.157.161 02:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's why I didn't block you on sight. Stop using inflammatory edit summaries, and adding tags without giving a reason, and there'll be less issues. --Golbez 02:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

What I did was wrong, but I wanted to show how the Armenians get annoyed when a Turk abuses Armenia-related articles the same way in which they abuse Turkey-related articles with an interesting kind of fixation and "prejudice for the evil Turk's intentions". They simply cannot accept the fact that, despite the reality and brutality of the Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman government, Armenian rebels of the Dashnak and Henchak organizations also killed many Turkish and Kurdish civilians with the assistance of the Russian Army in Eastern Anatolia. This is simply "the other side of the coin", and they just can't stand it; with the determination to depict the Armenians as "pure angels" and Turks as "pure devils". 151.44.157.161 02:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

No that is simply the "Turkish side of the coin" this has been heavily documented, eyewitnesses back than would describe it as one of the worst massacres ever (since Genocide was not invented yet) the Dashnak myth you say is OR and is nonsense. --Vonones 11:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a party to this dispute (I noticed the block on Flavius' user page while seeking his assistance on a different topic), though I have had significant interaction with the editor in question. I just added a note to the noticeboard discussion you had up yesterday: I'm not certain how it impacts your decision here, but thought you should be aware of the larger history, as well as the fact that this editor can be reasoned with (if only after a lot of effort). We had a pretty nasty set of run-ins between us, but I learned pretty quickly after my sockpuppet report that its not constructive to deal angrily with this individual. Hiberniantears 14:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Also Golbez regarding the Britannica thing Flavius said that figure he shows is wrong it only shows two years of an estimate and not the full Armenian Genocide numbers so do not feel like you reverted wrongfully it was fully justified I discussed it with him on the Armenian Genocide page, and than he said "However, his estimation of 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 was probably a constant and didn't change much" meaning he is trying to guess the estimates of the full year this is pretty much original research trying to estimate the rest more of a trick reference, since Arnold's estimates are very high than he actual stats. --Vonones 11:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure why you deleted the info I added to this article. The edit summary simply says "fix", so I'm not sure what your intention was.

Question about YouTube videos

Golbez, I noticed you removed a YouTube video link by Patriot77 . I just have a question, is there any Misplaced Pages policy on usage of YouTube videos? I have noticed some other pages, where other YouTube videos were used, so was just curious. Thanks. Atabek 02:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Golbez. Actually, there are several videos documenting Khojaly massacre in 1992, available on YouTube, here are just two: , . These are very graphic, but they are also a valuable material for an online encyclopedia in establishing a strong evidence of this crime against humanity. Even though they may not have to be inserted on every page, they would be directly relevant on Khojaly Massacre page. Atabek 16:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Khojaly external link

You may want to look at this , , , , . Khojaly Massacre, according to Memorial and several other rights groups and news sources, was the biggest and most brutal massacre of the conflict to date. Yet User:MarshallBagramyan keeps removing the link from Nagorno-Karabakh and Nagorno-Karabakh War articles, edit warring and removing the link to factually-recorded massacres in Nagorno-Karabakh. Atabek 00:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I suppose that would be another solution. Also, , no removal of image of victims from the Khojaly Massacre. I don't understand why this group of users is trying to hide someone else's massacre. Atabek 02:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

This group of users? Atabek WP:AGF and don't turn Misplaced Pages into a battleground. If you have a problem with User:Pocopocopocopoco's address it with him, his not part of any group, neither am I. --VartanM 04:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Golbez, can you please respond/address the issue. I think removal of the picture of children victims of Khojaly Massacre, which was there for a while, is close to vandalism along the lines of ethnic conflict. Atabek 07:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Greetings Golbez, I removed the image. Atabek should have discussed this in the talk page of the article but since he brought the discussion here, perhaps I can get your wisdom not just with regard to that image but with regard to wiki policy in general. My understanding of WP:VERIFY is that it applies to everything in the article, ie images, external links etc. The image was from khojaly.net, which is not a verifiable source, hence I removed it. Furthermore, these links should probably also be removed as well:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Khojaly_Massacre#Photographs

http://en.wikipedia.org/Khojaly_Massacre#Videos

Also, there are some images in the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict articles that use abkhazia.com, which is a propaganda site about the plight of the Georgians from Abkhazia. This site also fails WP:VERIFY hence material from that site should be removed as well. Comments? -TIA Pocopocopocopoco 01:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I have no opinion on the image, so I see no reason to continue this here. He may have brought it here, but I have not acted on it. --Golbez 02:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Golbez, do you have opinion of images attributed to "Armenian Genocide"? Is it not clear that Pocopocopocopoco is removing sensitive and well attributed images from a very painful topic to further fuel conflict and insult Azeris? Removal of photographs and videos of massacre, which is a FACT, in this case, is simply engagement in another war along national lines. Atabek 04:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I am not familiar enough with the images and the history of the edit war to get involved at this point. If there's a problem, take it to RFC, but I won't be getting involved in this one. I know the N-K article extremely well; the same does not apply to the Khojali Massacre or War articles. --Golbez 04:07, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Endeavour

yet that's what it is, why not be correct?

For the same reason we have an article at Space Shuttle Endeavour instead of Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour. Even NASA has no problem calling it the "Space Shuttle Endeavour". So "Space Shuttle Endeavour" is not incorrect. Although "Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour" is probably not incorrect either, it's unnecessarily specific and barely a "common name". -- tariqabjotu 01:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Canadian Map

Hi, I just wanted to say, great job on the map but, Image:Canada_provinces_evolution.gif. I don't mean to be annoying or rude but your portrayal of Labrador is flawed. Labradors boundaries came into being when Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949. Prior to that Labrador was only a thin strip of land along the east coast, and was granted land from the Northwest Territories. I do not know how to edit animated gifs otherwise I would fix it myself I have provided links to the official Atlas of Canada 1st and 2nd edition that was produced by the Canadian government 1906 Atlas 1915 Atlas Thanks --Cloveious 14:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't at all claim to be an expert on the subject, but what I do know is that the boundaries of Pre-1949 Labrador shown in the Atlas of Canada referenced, were established by the proclamation of 1763, and due to misreading of the law, eventually allowed Labrador to claim title to land as far inland as the watersheds of rivers that run into Labrador and drained into the Atlantic and St. Lawrence. The 1927 boundary commission as far as I understand, agreed that Labrador was entitled to these claims and advised the King, but honestly I don't see evidence the new boundary was implemented until Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949, but I could be wrong, perhaps contemporary periodicals from that era would hold the answer. --Cloveious 09:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

infobox on Gonzales

If you leave the resignation announced, effective X date in,
then you don't get the random IP editor messing with the date anymore,
or insisting that the actual end date is known, plus you have the advantage that the text is true on its face--merely announced to be effective on X date.
It might save everyone angst. -- Yellowdesk 03:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Let's try this again

One last time. If I wasn't interested in a two way discussion, I wouldn't have wasted my time posting , now would I?

Let me explain why I think you are Kian's pet. It goes way back, years, in fact.

- - Years ago, an editing war broke out over SkyOS. Kian, who has no connection to the project and has never used it, decided to edit it, accusing the developers of using GPL'd code and "stealing" from BeOS. He made sure to make edits that compared SkyOS unfavourably to BeOS.

- - He knew nothing about SkyOS besides what he read on the website and what he heard via rumor and when this was pointed out to him, he attacked us.

- - I, in my ignorance, decided to tinker with his user page. This is where you come in. You asked how the dispute could be settled and I suggested that if Kian refrained from editing SkyOS, I would refrain from going anywhere near his user page. It seemed a fair enough compromise and it would call for trust on both sides.

- - Know what you said? You said "Kian can edit any page he wants". That's right. None of us can go to his page, but heck, Kian can edit anything. That's what promoted a couple of us to leave Misplaced Pages (including Hexydes). Until Kian got his job and didn't have time to edit Misplaced Pages he would verbally assault other people and bend the rules knowing that you'd protect him. After all he could "edit any page he wants".

- - Don't you see? You were more worried about vandalism than looking at the big picture, how disputes could be handled. It was my way or the highway. You vandalized his page! No compromise! See what you unleashed?

- - It's such a shame. Woomia 13:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Sigh

You may have meant one thing but Kian took it as carte blanche to harass me and the rest of the SkyOS team.

You totally missed the point of the discussion and I give up trying to make you see something you don't want to see. I am going back into retirement now. Woomia 12:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Mediation

Can you please see Talk Khojaly Massacre. Atabek is trying to turn the discussion into a battleground. --VartanM 21:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Images

Hello! You posted on my talk page regarding images and said that I could ask you for help. Anyway, I instead uploaded today lower resultion images of Lethal Enforcers and Reel Fishing related software and hardware that do not focus on the game artwork specifically. Would you be so kind to look these over and let me know if they are more acceptable and/or what would be the appropriate label for them? These are photographs of items that I own. Also, even though I only uploaded these two images after your message and I did so in an effort to better follow your suggestion, this thread has been opened on me, which I find a bit outrageous, but anyway, I would like to know if my new image uploads are more what would be okay. Thank you for your time and help! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 23:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Ganja

I added Historic Armenian community section back to Ganja article. Just reporting myself before Atabek and Grandmaster get the chance to do it themselfs. VartanM 01:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Vartan restored the edits of a permanently banned user in violation of WP:BAN. That edit was factually inaccurate as well. Grandmaster 09:50, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

But the problem with the edit is that it is factually inaccurate. Grandmaster 13:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, but I hope you will remain involved as a third party, as I want this issue to be resolved. Grandmaster 14:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Golbez. Grandmaster instead of removing and suppressing the information because it was added by a sockpuppet, WP:AGF and give me the chance to fix it. VartanM 16:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Puerto Ricans Missing in Action - Korean War‎

I will work with those issues I can attend when I log in later today, I was thinking renaming to List of military personel from Puerto Rico missing in action (Korean war), but if you have a better suggestion I will implement it. The issue with the reference is that www.endi.com just moved to www.elnuevodia.com so I guess the info was lost there, I will look for a version of it on archive.org. - Caribbean~H.Q. 10:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you for your suggestions you are right, the list was a mess. I have taken action and made the changes requested. I would like to apologize to you because I had various doctor appointments and I couldn't make the fixes earlier. The featured list is a new concept to me, I have been so involved with writting articles that I was totally unaware of its existence until this nomination. I think it is a great idea and now I have an idea of requirements of an FL. I hope that after all issues are taken care of, that you will reconsider your vote. Take care. Tony the Marine 20:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

• How does it look now? Tony the Marine 02:30, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, we have been working with the list since we received your suggestions, I believe we have attended the points you presented in your second review, if you have some time available can you please take a look to the article and give us a update over its current status? thanks for your time. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: you message left on bnwiki main page talk

Since it is the Bengali language wikipedia, the "contributors" in the "must-read for contributors" are supposed to be Bengali contributors and should have no problem reading the section. I hope that answers your question. --Zaheen 02:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Hurricane Katrina

The Hurricane Katrina article received heavy editing today by unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Misplaced Pages Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee 01:51, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

OTRS based citation

Hi, you changed Thomas L. Thompson based on a reference stating "(removing per OTRS:1083315; the subject of the article states that this was a DIFFERENT Thomas L. Thompson.)" at 12:45, September 14, 2007. I cannot read this for myself as there is no login/registration I have access to. I placed the citation in good faith and would like the correcting information for myself. Can you direct me to some way to see this reference?--Smkolins 13:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

So I guess I can't see this reference for myself - that "OTRS" is some kind of reserved area only some people have access to?--Smkolins 16:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't disagree that it seems I made a mistake - I just wanted to see it myself. Another part is that as an editor you corrected one part of that issue but since I'm alittle more familiar with the article I know there's at least one other part that needs correction. I would be more correct to make this change on seeing the evidence myself. As it is all I can say is you missed something - the Category assignment at the bottom. As for graduate school vs 18 years old - I hadn't done the math so carefully though I think I recall he must have been young but hadn't placed if he was just starting grad school and was very accelerated (but less so than some that have made the news as prodigies) which might fit with his other accomplishments.--Smkolins 16:49, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Look. What I've put is not to say that the family members don't know what's going on. They almost certainly do. But wikipedia is based on verifiable information and at the moment it's just not verifiable. That's why I've been saying it should be kept as it is until the information comes from a verifiable source. Unfortunately hearsay is not that. --81.107.39.205 23:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Excellent maps, translation to German?

Dear Golbez, I am really impressed by the several detailed and informative maps in the Commons:Category:Territorial Growth Maps of the United States. These are really the best maps I have ever seen on this topic. I am working in the German Misplaced Pages and would like to create some articles dealing with historical U.S. territories and Canadian territories. For this reason I want to ask you if you could support me in constructing German translations of your maps (I used some of them, e.g., in the article de:Historische Territorien auf dem Boden der Vereinigten Staaten but I would like to expand on this topic).--Furfur 18-9-07 11:47 CEST —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.89.127 (talk) 09:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

State congressional delegation articles and "Passages"

I see you've done most of the work on these in the past, but your user page indicates you've stopped. My question is more general, i.e. why is the word "passage" used? That term doesn't seem accurate, and is a term I've never heard before (worked for the Senate for 7 years). It appears from the context we are talking about congressmen who have left office before their term expired (died or resigned), and someone else was elected or appointed in their place. If it means "passage," as in those who died in office have "passed on" that's one thing, but is not entirely accurate if you include people who resigned or were expelled. Moreover, only a handful of the delegation articles have this information. I think it would be useful to include, and like you I agree footnotes probably don't cut it. But what about a different name for the heading, such as "changes in membership" like the 110th Congress and other ordinal congress articles? Sorry if you're not the one to ask this question, but I thought I check before being bold and doing it myself.

Thank you

List of Governors of Puerto Rico‎

Hey, I have been working with this article in hopes of getting it to Featured List status, I have done some massive changes to it in the last week but I want the opinion of somebody more familiar with the FL format, and based on the quality of the review you did on Puerto Ricans Missing in Action in the Korean War's FL candidature I think that you are probably the best person to do a neutral and detailed review, are your services available at this moment? - Caribbean~H.Q. 07:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

FL Main page proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello from DonDesignJr

Hello BusterD, Sensei48, TabascoMan77, Golbez

BusterD you do make me feel welcome. However we have unintentionally stepped on a few toes (I should say fingers, typing fingers). We have suspended our Misplaced Pages activities. We will corporate even without the threat of banishment. We believe the other editors are as supportive to tenderFoots (tenderFingers) as you and Sensei48 are, even though they did pounce pretty hard, and rightly so.

SPAM DEFINED. BusterD and Golbez thanks for explaining spam as it pertains to Misplaced Pages. I knew of the common definition of spam but not this meaning. I was surprised. If TabascoMan77 or Golbez had used the term WikiSpam or used BusterD's link to spam, it would have made me investigate the meaning, and I would have found it instantly in Misplaced Pages. Whereas spam left me puzzled: "What spam? I didn't spam!"

Why use the word spam? I don’t see a sufficient connection to share the word. I declare a misnomer. I can think of several more relevant, descriptive names.

WikiSpam I DID. I saw the ability to add links and thought that implied permission. At the very least, it implied adding links was not totally taboo. It didn't occur to me that links in the body of your articles link only to Misplaced Pages articles. Sorry.

RE-WRITES. Sensei48, of course you are correct about the re-write. When searching for information, my first click is on the big "W" on my bookmark bar, because I know Misplaced Pages's information is enormous and not tainted with bias such as mine and has links to "Points-of-View" sites such as ours. However, I dedicate most of my time to achieving the Goals set forth by Ideas4Humanity.com (see External Links) and am driven by forces that appear daily without warning, so I may not return to The Little Bighorn for sometime, especially not knowing that it will be approved. But foremost, I don't have the skill to switch from writing on one side of the fence to walking on top of the fence with my bias lean. Perhaps that is a reason for the original research rule.

MODIFIED OUR COPYRIGHTS. We have several articles that may interest your readers as excerpts or External Links. For our List of All Articles see our External Links at the end of this message.

And since it would be beneficial to your readers, Misplaced Pages editors, and aid in accomplishing our goals, we have decided to modify our Copyright Reprint Permission to offer Misplaced Pages editors our information to use or not use as they see fit (see External Links). If there are any changes you want, let us know.

If one of the Misplaced Pages pros edits in some of our material, there would be no original research violations.

LINKS BACK AND FORTH. We have been adding links from our articles to Misplaced Pages. We will add many more. Misplaced Pages is a powerful resource, thanks to you folks.

Would it be OK for us to add links from your External Links sections to our articles, with link deletion being the worse action your editors take?

ALL EDITORS. Would you pass this message to all Misplaced Pages editors? Or tell me how to do it, if it is permitted.

MORE THAN WELCOMED. We feel more than welcomed. We feel honored to be known by the Bakers of Misplaced Pages's Bread of Knowledge.

LOTD proposal

You have nominated a recently successful WP:FL. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient to change the main page. WP:LOTDP is a new proposal to try to get the ball rolling based on the original proposal. You can voice your thoughts on its talk page. Basically, what the proposal entails is attempting to run an official trial, and then vote after the trial run on whether to change the main page. Support to run a trial requires much less consensus than support to change the main page. Should we succeed at eventually getting such a feature on the main page it would tentatively look like this. Whether or not you support an experimental trial or not you should come discuss the matter at WP:LOTDP's talk page. I apologize if you have either already voiced your opinion on this matter or already tired of hearing about it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

OTRS review request

Hello, I'd like to request a review of OTRS 2007072910002927 (this is my first time dealing with an OTRS request). This is was from several months ago, at the time I felt it had some weird issues, but now its become an issue between editors (I am an admin, but also a party so I'm not acting in that capacity).

Here is the situation, I apologize if this is a little long: You can see the original ticket mentioned here, dealing with the subject matter in the edit here. From my experience as an attorney, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense for several reasons, but primarily this: there is not any legal reason I am aware of that we, as a website, cannot provide facts from reliable sources (and all of these were sourced to the most reliable sources in sports: ESPN, SI, etc) in explaining a situation; to be clear: no party in this situation has ever publicly requested (or received) a retraction from any of these respectable sources. If anything, this information was handled the correct way. There is a bit of extra funny business that went on in private emails, but I'd prefer to initially discuss those by email; in addition, the OTRS person who handled the matter admitted there wasn't a clear resolution and never made any further changes (which seems strange, given the situation). Because I was a little afraid of being punished for asking questions, I decided to stay out for a while. Still, the more I talked about it with other people in my field, the more the situation seemed strange. Finally, this month, more stories were published in reliable sources with new information and confirming the previous information, this time including the text of the controversial emails which were obtained legally through an FOI request (and are now a part of public knowledge; not privileged) while also making clear that the subject of the article is involved. This seems to again follow the standard basis for inclusion in the article --however it was removed under the banner of the OTRS ticket (though not by anyone from OTRS) with a warning that I was doing something wrong. So now I've decided to stand up for something that seems off and ask for a review of the ticket. I hope my explanation makes sense. I understand if we need to discuss this by email. ---- Bobak (talk) 19:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your input (and prompt response!). ---- Bobak (talk) 21:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

This is completely incorrect. The initial complaint centered on the issue of the family of the subject of the article stating that such information caused damage to the reputation of Mitch Mustain and his family, as well as subjecting them to threats of harassment by other parties. That still stands. For those reasons, this information has to be removed. Furthermore, Bobak attempts to link one set of events to another, without knowing the facts that the subject's family is aware of. The subject, Mitch Mustain, has never spoken on this issue, due to his position, and will not speak on this issue in the future. I have informed the Misplaced Pages Foundation about Bobak's attempts to put this information back in that damage Mustain's reputation, while also subjecting his family to harassment, including a statement that there are people who wish to cause physical harm, or perhaps, kill his mother. This is unrelated to football and centers around the actions of others. For those reasons, the initial OTRS ticket stands and this information must be removed. -- Caffehamp (talk) 22:01, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Caffehamp, you cannot be taken as a neutral party in any discussion regarding USC. You have written to me in an email that "As you remember after the Mitch Mustain issue, I have been requested by the USC sports information department to start monitoring articles of current USC athletes and making necessary changes." I retain the copy of this email, that is in violation of WP:COI. Please stop. I am getting tired of this activity. ---- Bobak (talk) 22:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, but I did check the intervening edits--like the proper elimination of the weasel words in the lede. I simply missed the interwikis. I'd observe that it's nice to avoid introducing words like "fight" in edit summaries unnecessarily. We're both trying to maintain and improve the article--let's keep the focus on that and avoid comments like "hi folks, have your little fight, but don't screw up the interwikis while you do it, eh?"

Ah. Well, to answer your question: It met CSD criteria R1.

R1 allows speedy deletes of redirects to non-existent or deleted pages. That it was a redirect from WP: to User: was why I deleted it, full honesty here, but it also qualified under R1. Now I see my original reasoning was false, but the redirect was still a valid deletion.

Help on editing an animation map

Hi Golbez,

This may seem weird, coming from a user you've never met before (but then again, this is Misplaced Pages...), but I was wondering if you could help, or maybe just guide me, in editing an animation map? This is the ongoing peer review assessment. I saw your user name attached to two similar maps (one of the evolution of canadian provinces, the other of the evolution of the csa during the Civil War) that are featured, and my goal is to get this map of the roman empire also featured (the original creator is not responding). You seem to have quite a bit of expertise where maps are concerned (and wikipedia in general, it seems), so I was wondering if you'd be available for help?

Thanks in advance, and again, sorry if this message seemed a bit weird coming out of the blue.

Why did you delete the Rawkus 50 page

You deleted the page before it was even completed less than a minute after it was saved. What's your reason? "(non-notable ad campaign)" is not a valid reason. I don't work for Rawkus.

The apology isn't necessary. After seeing the merits of {{ArticleHistory}}, I decided to utilize the template on all applicable pages in my watchlist. I spent about 4 hours overnight to get it done. Maybe I should have done that when I was a little more awake. This template reduced template clutter at the top of talk pages on multiple pages to where the TOC could be seen in the initial view without scrolling down! Plus, the bot that closes FACs automatically updates this template without human intervention, which is a plus. -MBK₀₀₄ 17:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Wisconsin Governors FLC

I'm really embarassed to have to admit this, but ... here's what happened:

1. You said I had to fix the "acting"/"serving" question in the article for your support
2. While slightly tired, I thought I saw what the problem was and "fixed" it
3. I went to bed, and (of course!) immediately afterwards realized that I had made the problem worse!
4. And, trusting that I knew what I was doing, you supported the nomination before I could fix it.

I have now rewritten part of the acting/serving sentence in the intro, and changed the note for Scott McCallum (second-to-last governor). It is now correct! If you could look it over and make sure you still support, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, and I am so sorry about this ... —Salmar 14:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

You have deleted a page yesterday, the page is linked to the ongoing RfC, I'm not sure if it was linked incorrectly, or if it was named incorrectly or what's wrong with it… I'm pretty sure that I need that page to provide a comment… I'd appreciate if you would restore it, or point me in the direction which will resolve the issue. Thank you. Quantumentanglement (talk) 01:32, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
