Cleanup Taskforce

edit

I hope you don't mind, but I was bold and did some setup on your desk. Also, you have been assigned the article English Heritage. Please look at the article and either accept or let me know and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 04:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ah, you already knew you had that because you assigned it. And I was at a wrong subpage which was why it didn't seem to be setup (I redirected that page to your real desk, again - I hope you don't mind.) RJFJR 05:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Since you asigned it to yourself, I'll assume you accept the article English Heritage. Thank you.RJFJR 02:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I finally got the taskforce subpage for No Exit (Blondie album) working (the comments were on an incorrectly named page and the correctly named page was blank). Since you are working on that article would you also like to work on the Blondie (band) article? (Which I notice you submitted to the taskforce and which has been assigned though the editor it was assigned to hasn't gotten to it yet). RJFJR 03:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

No Exit (Blondie album)

edit

This article is amateurish. It is badly written, is very confusing - at times it makes no sense at all - and needs a complete overhaul. Paul75 23:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what the problem is off hand. Note, however, that to a degree the names are case sensitive. If you use the copy and paste technique for grabbing article names it should take care of spelling and capitalization. Does that help? RJFJR 20:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hung Up

edit

I just wanted to warn you about what may happen when you attempt to clean up this article. I gave it a go a few months ago, but a circle of Madonna fans reacted negatively to any attempts to reduce the amount of info; as can be seen on Talk:Hung Up, they reverted me without any discussion and became rather uncivil, so I just gave up on it. That said, I know I would appreciate any attempts to cut down this bloated-beyond-belief article. Extraordinary Machine 23:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Gus Black

edit

A tag has been placed on Gus Black, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Gus Black is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Gus Black. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Irongargoyle 02:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Video 040b.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Video 040b.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Chard, Somerset

edit

Would you like to tell me why you reverted my edits please? It looked fine to me? FYI Template:Infobox England place with map redirects to Template:Infobox England place. The use of co-ordinates is a newer addition to the template than MapX and MapY. IMHO: 1. It is a better contrasting map. 2. It is easier for users to edit than MapX MapY. 3. The use of co-ordinates is useful as it allows the article to link into other applications such as Google Earth. Pit-yacker 00:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Agnes-strickland-1-sized.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Agnes-strickland-1-sized.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Richard Marx Edits

edit

Hello... I know that you are a fan of Madonna and I realize that you may not like Richard Marx, but please refrain from leaving uncited POV edits such as the ones you left on the Rush Street and Richard Marx articles. I've reverted the edits. Thank you for, hopefully, understanding and have a wonderful week. --Candy156sweet 05:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Clarification

edit

Thank your for taking the time to respond to me. I want to clarify something about your edits on the Richard Marx and Rush Street articles. I know that you mean well, but calling a song vicious is a point of view statement. I can understand your view of the track. In fact, I think the same thing, but our opinions are not relevant to the article at all. Those types of statements should be kept private and not on Wikipedia, because editing like that is just as bad and is not informative in any way. I cleaned up the edits by leaving the fact without the excess bias and I've left the appropriate citations you've posted. Enjoy your weekend... --Candy156sweet 22:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

The 'high paid trash' portion of your edit was not quoted within the source link you provided. If the lyric was within that quote, it could've been used in your edit. I cleaned it up again, and left the 'pop star' edit you made. Thanks for being such a trooper about this. Take care and have a good week. --Candy156sweet 15:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

You still had bias within the edit. I fixed it again. Richard Marx explained that he wrote the track about Madonna, but he did not say that she was 'high paid trash' in that quote or any other quote that referred to that song. Lyrics and direct quotes are distinctly different. I will continue to revert the article if you continue to make that same edit. If you are interested in finding out more information about Marx's feelings on Madonna, ask him. Every month they take questions for a section called Ask Richard. Again, enjoy your week... --Candy156sweet 19:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Sophierimheden.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Sophierimheden.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

The accursed list of supercouples

edit

I'd appreciate it if you didn't leave the article, though I think all of us are on the verge of throwing in the towel. I contacted a neutral admin that has had very positive interactions with Flyer and KellyAna in the past for a third opinion about the direction of the article and the Mount Holyoke source. Hopefully things will be smoothed over with some good advice and we can all drop our adversarial stances. You really should look at the List of fictional anti-heroes. It has many of the same problems as the supercouple list, and I'd normally be more than willing to take my weedwacker to it, but I'm literally drawing 14 hours a day thanks to a mindblowingly stupid deadline change. Flyer suggested, and though Wikipedia isn't consistent, it could really benefit from some help. Think about it, and also please continue on with the supercouple malarkey. AniMate 10:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sorry things went south so quickly. Lists aren't my favorite thing either, though I do think they have their place when they're structured with well defined parameters. KellyAna's attitude is unfortunate, but equally unfortunate is the tone of some of your comments on my talk page. Let's try to focus on the article rather than the contributors. AniMate 21:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I at least accept your apology. I don't think collaboration with KellyAna is possible (according to her). My removal of the "notable wave" and "disputed by rivalry" sections made her furious, despite assertions by myself and Flyer22 that it made the article more acceptable to Wikipedia standards. Rather than antagonize someone who is so easily infuriated, we can focus on the list as Flyer22 and (perhaps) Elonka are still willing to work on it. Try not to contact KellyAna anymore, as she is determined to be angry with you and her reactions are just going to get angrier and angrier. I'm not going to try and tell you to avoid articles she has worked on, but if you find yourself in another conflict with her contact me or Elonka to help mediate. Neither of you handle conflict well at all and neither seems very willing to back down, so make sure if you find yourself butting heads with her at another article that you get help to calm the situation.

Breaking the cycle

edit

Hi, I'm trying to break a steady spiral of incivility between multiple editors. But it seems as soon as I get a few of them calmed down, someone else comes in and stirs things up again. This particular comment of yours[1] (even if you feel it was true) was not helpful. I can sympathize if you are feeling frustrated with the situation, but generating attacks of that nature at another editor, is not the right way to handle things. About all it does is give one editor (yourself) some momentary pleasure in venting. But it is completely ineffective in terms of changing anyone else's behavior, and indeed, tends to escalate things, rather than de-escalate. Can I please ask you to try and adopt a better standard of behavior in the future? I firmly believe that the best way to handle things here, is for those editors with the capacity for mature behavior, to "practice what they preach" and provide a very civil example. Then those without such capacity can be encouraged (and if necessary coerced) to emulate it. Thanks, Elonka 23:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

This comment, too, was completely unacceptable. Doesn't matter who this is said to, or what you think they did to deserve it, this kind of "pull your head out of your arse" language is not to be used on Wikipedia.[2] --Elonka 23:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Explanation and apology

edit

Saying "if you continue to make personal attacks on me, accusing me of bias and implying I deliberately set about to destroy your articles, I will take this matter further" is a threat. Do not threaten me.

That said, I cannot help it that I feel you are biased when it comes to these articles. Yes, we clashed on the Supercouple and List of fictional supercouples articles, and I know what you said during those clashes. I also know that the deletion of an article here at Wikipedia should not be about opinion; it should be about whether the article has merit to stand on its own. The Reese Williams and Bianca Montgomery article clearly did/does and yet you still "voted" Delete. In fact, you did not change your Delete "vote" even after the article was fixed up by Rocksey. I mean, what am I supposed to think of your involvement in that deletion debate? Even the editor who nominated that article for deletion saw that he was wrong after it provided notability and was fixed up by Rocksey. I later fixed it up even more after that. Saying "disagreeing with your opinion does NOT mean I am biased. If that was the case I would have clashed with you with over every single soap opera article you have ever been in involved in." also does not make me think that differently about you on this matter. I mean, we would have likely agreed on a lot regarding the soap opera articles I have been involved in here, considering that most of these soap opera articles are a mess. It is not like I have fixed up every soap opera article I have ever been involved in here.

I do not see criticism or suggestions on some soap opera-related articles as some kind of unspeakable crime. You remember, don't you, that I was open to the changes you wanted to make to the List of fictional supercouples article? It was one of the two fellow editors maintaining that article with me that acted like you were doing an unspeakable crime. In fact, I thank you for stumbling across that article and doing what you did to help it, even the way you started out there by nominating it for deletion when it was simply List of supercouples. I even later thanked you and AniMate then.

I do apologize, Paul, for making you feel like public enemy #1. I do not want to continue to have you as an enemy here, and I sometimes like your strict attitude regarding some of these articles. Flyer22 (talk) 19:12, 11 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've been away from Wikipedia for a while - according to whom are pre-transmission sources not acceptable and why? It was fine when Billie Piper, John Barrowman, Catherine Tate and Freema Agyeman were cast. Surely when the BBC publish this information through reputable outputs in order to garner publicity for the episode it becomes notable? Both Michelle Ryan and Lindsay Duncan are currently relatively high-profile actresses and Bernard Cribbins is already associated with Doctor Who.

If you disagree with the GA, or the sentence construction, you are welcome for a GA reassessment or explaining yourself at the talk page regarding what you think to be poorly written, however deleting a whole portion without rephrasing is obviously consired as vandalism and hence the warning. Mind, that the article already passed GA and the reviewer didnot find any discrepancy or poor writing with it. This is not a fan writing or anything. It clearly comes from critics and reviewers who have expressed their opinion about the song. Amongst all, the general opinion was about the song's frankness about Madonna's feelings and ballady nature. Hence that is there in the LEAD. --Legolas (talk2me) 09:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
You didnot change it rather deleted the whole structure. Also, as I said before, tweaking is one thing and deleting under controversial pretext is another. --Legolas (talk2me) 09:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
If you are talking about this one, you deleted the main critical review for the song, and kept the subordinate one. Do you think that is valid? WP:LEAD clearly states that an encompassing of the most poignant parts of the article is needed to be put there, hence can you justify removing the most important review? --Legolas (talk2me) 10:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/SAMANTHAFOX

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mhiji 21:19, 5 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

On top of that, I have hardly made any edits to the article anyway. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 21:51, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Because I just looked through the history of BTW and saw that you removed Lil-Unique's compromise. Your edits regarding this issue are on the verge of becoming disruptive. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 15:24, 26 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

GAR

edit

When you raise a GAR, both the nominator as well as the reviewer are supposed to be informed of this. Don't you understand the guidelines or you are unaware that such a thing exists? If so, please refer WP:GA/R for your future endeavors. — Legolas (talk2me) 09:42, 20 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Bananarama, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Venus (song) and Cruel Summer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
