Your recent edits to various skyscraper articles

I would like to applaude you for your tireless efforts to re-write these articles, especially Taipei 101. Allow me to introduce myself, I am one of those "skyscraper nuts" who comes around here and does the same thing like you do. I also draw high resolution skyscraper illustrations for magazine use and I am an illustrator in SkyscraperPage.com and Emporis.

If you're interested, there is an article that requires validation and help: Skyscraper

Currently this article doesn't provide any sources and I feel it needs a rewrite. It has been changing rapidly, and I can forsee with your great knowledge about skyscrapers, this is a proposal for you to help out in the Skyscraper article. I have contributed tirelessly in this article in the past 2 months, especially the Singapore Skyline and the images on the right, and I need your extra help in cleaning up this article together.

If you're willing, provide sources if you can, and I'm sure there'll be many cleanups in this. Looking forward to hear from you.

Your edit to National Theater (Taiwan)

Hi, you made this edit [1] with edit summary "Removed article text and linked to new (merged) entry. Admins: please change this page to a simple redirect" - you may be interested to know that ordinary users like you and I can create redirects - see my edit to it [2] or the guide at Wikipedia:Redirect.

Taiwan Independence

Good work on Taiwan Independence - I for one really appreciate your efforts to clean that article up. Alexwoods 18:06, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Rate on quality scale

Hi, I am working on Taiwanese opera and trying to expand it.I would like to ask you to watch that article and rate on the scope of Wikiproject China or give me some opinions or comments on this article. Thanks Qwaszxfish (talk) 04:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, Someformofhuman, David, Alex. I had some time and got downtown a lot this summer. It enabled me to learn some details and post them. I will continue to do what I can for our Taiwan articles. Let me know if there's something in particular we need that I can help with.

A lot of UN activity in Taipei now. Do we have an article on that?

I'd like to help with the skyscraper article but would prefer to collaborate with an architecture specialist on that. Can you recommend anyone? It's a high-traffic article. We want something good there. Alton 11:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, before we start, you can actually go down to a user's talk page and leave them a message there too; you can start a new conversation with them by clicking on "edit this page" and creating a new headline. Well the reason for this simple, a new message will be alerted to the user whom you are talking to, and also alerts them of a new message. :-)

You can also join projects on Taiwan and other wikiprojects too. Get involved, you're doing it great! Well for myself, I am a college student and time isn't very kind to me lately, even during the holidays... Therefore I can't edit much.

Try leaving a message to a user's talk page, it's great! Just remember to type in the search box for example; User talk:Someformofhuman and you're done. "User talk:" is the code that brings you to the talk page of the user. Just also remember to add the user's name after the code.

Well actually, the Skyscraper article is quite "bad" as of now, but all we need is to cite references and sources to it, and it's done. There seems to be alot of unnecessary images that clogs up the entire article; I would suggest to handpick the best images wisely to be in the article, especially the Panorama section. But yes, it's also wise to choose a knowledgable architectural specialist. (That's what I'm aiming to be after graduation, -insert laughter here-). Well from what I know of, we could possibly get hold of specialists from Emporis and CTBUH. But again, these are highly skilled, professional busy people & disturbing them might cost them their jobs. Another option we can choose is read up from books that only pertains to skyscrapers. But I guess that will take a while.

P.S, are you a musical conductor?

Someformofhuman 01:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey Alton, just to let you know that the article Taipei 101 is already rated under GA status, which is a good thing.

Hello, your edits made to Taipei 101 are again, excellent. However, I would advice that you use the "Show Preview" function before saving the page, works well for us and also, to curb identical-username-flooding in the history page if you know what I mean. It's best that you do all your edits all-at-one-go especially the minor edits, then save it. Also, that animation of the tuned mass damper, as a civil engineering and arch student I wouldn't celebrate its addition too early; as I question its correctness and verifiability. I'm doing alot of extensive research about it... If it doesn't live up to its vibe I'll have it removed. There is also an article pertaining to how tuned mass dampers in a skyscraper works, so I don't think its necessary to repeat similiar and detailed content twice in a row.

Thanks again, and keep those edits coming!

Someformofhuman Speak now! 00:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

---

Sorry about the incessant tinkering. I just end up doing more than I think I'm going to. I will heed your advice.

It's great to know a civil engineer is putting eyes on everything. I did notice after I praised the animation that it actually shows the building doing a lot of rocking while the damper remains still. Doesn't that get it backwards? Skyscrapers aren't supposed to be shock absorbers for the dampers!

Alton.arts

Ah yes, the impetuousness of editing Wikipedia. That's the spirit!

Quote: It's great to know a civil engineer is putting eyes on everything. Well don't say that... I would like to clarify that I don't consider myself an experienced professional, or in anyway qualified on the job. :) I do make mistakes in my lifetime, and yes, I'm just a student; we're all learning and on a road to our goal. Anyway you were right to notice such awkward oscillations in that animation! That was what made me ponder all ever since the day it was placed in the article. Anyway, I usually don't go very much into factual debates who's right or wrong, so I'll have it removed from the article, like I said above, there is an article that pertains to the detailed explanations of the tuned mass damper.

Someformofhuman Speak now! 13:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah yes, where are, my manners? :)

Hello, Alton.arts. The move you have made from A-Mei to Amit is not an uncontroversial move (note the the singer's website continues to call her A-Mei).

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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan

The article cites authoritative sources: the Ministry of Education, the university itself, and others.

It's common knowledge in Asia that this university exists. It's a big place. Really.

Evidence: the article at the Taiwan Wiki site (zh-tw) site or even the PRC site (zh).

More evidence: http://www.google.com.tw/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=national+dong+hwa+university+taiwan

As you see, no shortage of information exists about the school. Except at English-language Wikipedia.

So why don't I cite more of these sources? Because Wikipedia doesn't let me. You've blacklisted citing nearly everything that goes beyond the government sources I've already mentioned. Flickr, Picasa, travel sites, message boards, Google Maps? Not allowed. You say you want more references, but then you don't allow them.

If you get this article posted, I can contribute photos or add more information as I get it to help fill it out. For now, you've got a solid article backed by authoritative sources. It's enough to get started.

Your call.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Taiwan.ntnu.plaque.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Taiwan.ntnu.plaque.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Image copyright problem with File:Taiwan.ntnu.plaque.altonthompson.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Taiwan.ntnu.plaque.altonthompson.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 (talk) 22:14, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Mister Ed, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --McGeddon (talk) 12:07, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Miami MLS team

Thanks for your improvements. First, you can't copy and paste content from one Wikipedia article without providing attribution. Second, you're not explaining what you're doing. That's what the edit summary is for. Finally, you might want to check your edits before your save them. You're adding links to articles that don't exist or to disambiguation articles that don't discuss the subject. I will be reverting further edits that do this and add templates to your talk page to explain the issues individually when I do. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:15, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Pleas read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section. This biggest take-away from it should be that ledes should summarize the most important points of the article. They should not add new content not addressed in the article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:34, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

August 2018

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Miami MLS team does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Stating "code" as an edit summary that removed references is not a good edit summary. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:11, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for using edit summaries!

May I, in the friendliest possible way, draw your attention to WP:OVERLINKING ?

Speedy deletion nomination of File:National-taiwan-democracy-memorial-hall.2007-05-21.altonthompson.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:National-taiwan-democracy-memorial-hall.2007-05-21.altonthompson.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --TheImaCow (talk) 13:32, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
