| == Re: Marty Ashby page == | |||
| Hi, | |||
| Marty Ashby came to me for help getting a wikipedia entry recently and I've been using copy that he wrote and gave me. Yes, some of it is directly from his bio on his website, but it is Marty himself giving me the info. I don't know what to do about that. | |||
| I'm a technology consultant to nonprofits by trade. Marty works at MCG Jazz in Pittsburgh - came to me for help. He wasn't able to figure out how to post or format an article on here - asked me to do it. | |||
| If you want to delete the page, that's fine. I'll let him know that he need to re-write it using different language so it doesn't fall under the copy/paste category. I'd like to ask that you don't boot me off here, however, for simply helping someone get an article posted. I may actually want to get more involved on here one of these days. | |||
| Thanks, | |||

Please look over the prose and see about ways that you could re-write the original prose to make it less "About Me" and more a neutral biography. ] (]) 22:25, 13 December 2012 (UTC) | |||

Welcome to my talk page
I treat my talk page as a top level landing page for all discussion and as such archive stale discussions quickly. If a conversation started elsewhere, I will be watching it. If it starts here I will watch it here. Thanks.
Pizza Patrón
Thank you very much for photographing the Pizza Patrón HQ! Are you open to more photo requests? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Within Reason. I've done a bunch of photo requests this past couple of weeks (~20) so I'm probably going to be hands off for a couple of weeks as a 70 mile trip every weekend is not as fun. Hasteur (talk) 22:13, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- It's fine if I only list requests in the Dallas area, right? I have quite a few requests in the Dallas area. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Northern half of Dallas County I can do fairly quickly. South half (South of Downtown) takes longer. I also do some Collin County sites as I'm near the Dallas/Collin county border
- It's fine if I only list requests in the Dallas area, right? I have quite a few requests in the Dallas area. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Alright, so there are some requests. If you already have any of the following, please let me know. If you want to take your time or only do certain ones for now, that's fine too. If you want more than what I posted, please let me know, and I can post more.

Requests for southern Dallas County:
Wilmer-Hutchins ISD admin building (it's across the street from a gas station, so I suppose you can park at the gas station and take the photo from there) - 3820 East Illinois Avenue, Dallas, TX - I fear it could be demolished or have its markings removed (last time I saw it, it was still marked as the WHISD admin building), so I would very much like to have it photographed

Thank you, WhisperToMe (talk) 23:28, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Bad news, the WH ISD building (which I assume was on that little triangle of land between the gas station and the highway) is already demolished. Hasteur (talk) 18:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Just to make sure, was it located on this parcel? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:00, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- If it's the building that's listed as the Imperialist University of America, I got a shot of that. There were no WH-ISD logos on it. I was referring to the little triangle as the 2nd link you sent is what I though was the WHISD building. I'll upload what I have shortly Hasteur (talk) 22:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Okay. I look forward to seeing the image :) WhisperToMe (talk) 22:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

- There is a triangle of land with nothing on it, but maybe that's not where the building was after all... WhisperToMe (talk) 22:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- The triangle that may have been empty was empty back in 2001: http://msrmaps.com/image.aspx?T=4&S=9&Z=14&X=7100&Y=36216&W=3&qs=%7cDallas%7cTX - It seems like the building itself is still standing WhisperToMe (talk) 22:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Please let me know when you post any photos taken over the weekend. I'll add them to articles WhisperToMe (talk) 17:05, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Sorry it took so long to upload. Hardware failure prevented me from uploading quickly. Hasteur (talk) 08:14, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! I just added it to the WHISD article WhisperToMe (talk) 13:52, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

HiLo RfC
Hi Hasteur, can I beg you to bring the curtain down on this - with any wording that suits! It's just an open drain that invites people to keep pouring stuff in and it's clearly not going anywhere. Most of the involved parties seem ready to pursue their quarrel via this AN/I discussion and I don't think we need multuiple venues for this. Kim Dent-Brown 11:13, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Done. I'd like to suggest Full Protection on the RfC's main and talk pages as I suspect that people are going to be very upset that their mud slinging soapbox has been closed down. Hasteur (talk) 12:47, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- I agree. Although they have other venues to squabble in, as noted above. As closer I'd say you have the right to fully protect, go right ahead! Thanks for closing this one down, not the last we've heard from this lot I'm sure! Kim Dent-Brown 12:49, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- But I don't have the keys to the Janitor supply closet. Shall I file for protection the traditional (and potentially delaying) way? Hasteur (talk) 12:51, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- There go my assumptions again. Yes, I think asking someone else is the right thing. If I do it I'd rightly be seen as having been too closely involved, I think. Kim Dent-Brown 13:03, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the implied vote of confidence in me. Perhaps one day (when the MMA drama has gotten colder than Pluto's surface) I'll make a bid for the mop. But I still need to create at least 1 article that can either make a bid for DYK or GA based on the current voting trends of RFA. Hasteur (talk) 13:06, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- I think both would be a good idea. That is, both going for the mop and waiting for the MMA ruckus to die. I agree that a GA or DYK would help. Have you considered going to editor review to help get some outside feedback first? Kim Dent-Brown 13:25, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Hasteur, could you please amend your close of the RfC/ U to use the word "participants" rather than "framers"? It's not Pete and I that are continuing DR at ANI against HiLo48. --Surturz (talk) 15:02, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Done Hasteur (talk) 15:05, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Much obliged :-) --Surturz (talk) 15:29, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- FYI I've thanked you here too. --Surturz (talk) 15:43, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Much obliged :-) --Surturz (talk) 15:29, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Word choice
Hasteur, did you really mean to talk about the "instigation" of the RfC on SchuminWeb at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case? Compare instigate. If you didn't mean the RfC is an evil or criminal action, or designed to goad, set on, or provoke, you might want to choose a different word. Bishonen | talk 21:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC).
- Probably not that exact usage, but more like the "Commenced". If people know what I meant, then I think we're good to go. Hasteur (talk) 22:03, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
WP:MMANOT
Re this edit, WP:MMANOT is an essay, not a notability guideline (secondary or otherwise). It should be used in AfD's only in a way that does not create the implication that it is a guideline. VQuakr (talk) 04:51, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- Try again. From the very top of the page This page is an essay on notability. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how notability may be interpreted within their area of interest..
- Considering that this advice is the synthesis of a concensus, it does make sense that it should be used. Hasteur (talk) 12:35, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- I replied at the AfD. This is an important distinction for you to understand. Isn't it telling you anything when MMANOT is not in the category at WP:SNG that you have linked twice? VQuakr (talk) 17:20, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
SchuminWeb
Regarding this comment - the RFCU was not closed because SW has ceased editing, it was closed because there is an ongoing RfArb. That is a minor, but important, distinction. GiantSnowman 14:43, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- I changed the closing template because you had one that didn't exist. Mangoe (talk) 17:47, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
bias
Hi hastuer. You mentioned a bias I migt have and that I need to check it. Would you care to elaborate? PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
re: user talk blanking
I'm not sure why I thought the policy required that warnings not be deleted -- it is certainly helpful in terms of knowing which level of warning to give to repeat vandals, but I can see the other side. Anyhow, I won't restore warnings in the future. Thanks for alerting me to the appropriate policy. PStrait (talk) 23:01, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
RFC/U for Apteva: move to close
I am notifying all participants in Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Apteva that Dicklyon has moved to close the RFC/U, with a summary on the talkpage. Editors may now support or oppose the motion, or add comments:
Please consider adding your signature, so that the matter can be resolved.
Best wishes,

Hi, your previous experience with the sockmaster BigzMMA would provide a useful insight at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/BigzMMA. IRWolfie- (talk) 12:46, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
