Velvet Underground timeline

Hello Malik Shabazz, I just saw your argument to delete the Velvet Underground timeline. I have different views, and I would like to invite you to react on them. Thanks, Curt Woyte 09:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

curious

would I know you from no-more-songs? Tvoz | talk 00:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Almost certainly. I'm a member of n-m-s. Malik Shabazz 01:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Figured as much. I haven't been reading it regularly of late - sometimes the discussions get so tedious that I can't take it. The best for me are the sightings usually. But I still get it, and sometimes do a marathon read - you may have seen me post there from time to time. I put a fair amount of work into the Ochs wiki page a few months ago and since then have been mostly watching for vandals there while getting beat up (but still standing) on some other pages (see Talk: Kent State shootings for example, if you're interested and feel free to jump in...) and working on a bunch of other stuff like Obama, and a variety of Beatles pages with the most enjoyable group of editors I've encountered on Misplaced Pages, and lots of other stuff. Anyway, Ochs is much more comprehensive now than it was, and I'm pretty pleased with it - but it can always use more. Add to it! 06:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, just realized who you are. Yup, I certainly have seen you on n-m-s, a lot. Cheers. 06:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Actuary

Hello, Malik! -- Avi 01:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I am glad you don't think actuarial science and political science are not sciences. How do I remove those science lables or does the word science appended at the end of a term like creation science mean that it is not science becaue a real scuinec does not need to announce it self to the world as science? like mr Avi who keeps trying to say that removal of the science from actiuarial science is noit right? Who is right? What counts? Is it the correct policy to either point out or not point out that say creation science is not science? Chivista 20:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Noah Fleiss

I know it'll be difficult, but we still need a source. Maybe eventually he'll do an interview? Maybe there is something out there. I do understand it will be hard to find. -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 22:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Szmul Zygielbojm.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Szmul Zygielbojm.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Your edit to Malcolm X

Quote: Hi. I noticed that you added the following sentence to the article about Malcolm X:

The surname of 'Little' was actually given to Earl by his slave masters while he was younger, therefore his true given surname is actually unknown.

I have two questions. First, had Earl Little been enslaved? (I don't think the Autobiography says so, but maybe some other source does.) If not, he inherited the name "Little" from an enslaved ancestor, and you might want to tighten up the sentence to say that. Second, I've done some editing of the slave name article, and I want to edit the Malcolm X article but I haven't had the time. If Earl Little wasn't enslaved himself, you might want to refer to "Little" as his (or Malcolm X's) "slave name" and link to that article.

Also, if you'd like to, please help improve the slave name article. Malik Shabazz 22:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC) Unquote.

Malik...duely noted. I am not entirely sure whether Earl himself was enslaved or his ancestors and unfortunately I cannot site where that information came from. I believe I heard it in a documentary clip with Malcolm himself, but cannot be certain. I will research and update accordingly upon my findings. Thank you for questioning. --Usually Right 20:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

CCA

There was an article that was deleted for lack of notability. By adding the 1100 figure, I hope that shows that the conference is not so unnotable. I would suggest you add some references as to the importance of the CCA, preferably from sources other than the CCA itself. -- Avi 15:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for alerting me to the actual content of that message re Malcolm X. The heading for the template I used used to be accurate, I hope (otherwise I messed up before). It says "may be considered vandalism" but the actual message says "is vandalism." I did want the contributor to think about what effect filling in the blanks on what was pretty obviously an "official document" could do to the process of getting these articles evaluated. I assume that some kind of a task force is responsible for grading articles according to some predetermined standards. If they are looking around for articles to evaluate and the evaluation is already filled in they may fail to realize that it is not work that was done by somebody entitled to do that task. One article wouldn't make much difference in the long run, but what if the user makes a practice of grading ungraded articles? I fixed the contributor's talk page. P0M 07:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I just noticed the discussion about Malcolm X's father. I never read anything that said that his father was a grandfatherly 60+ years old or so when he was conceived. (1925-1865=60) So it's questionable that his father could have been born a slave. P0M 07:53, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
