Cat and subcat

Hi. I'm contacting you as an administrator. I found tha all or almost all of the articles in the category International Trade Stubs are also in the category International Trade. However, International Trade Stubs is a subcat of International Trade. Is this a problem? Thanks--达伟 (talk) 20:29, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know...but as a general rule, are there are any guidelines I should be aware of, with respect to overlapping categories or anything like that? Thank you--达伟 (talk) 08:32, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Great. Makes sense. So what you said about Category:International Trade and Category:International Trade Stubs is something of an exception?--达伟 (talk) 09:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Excellent. Thanks for the information. That helps a great deal. I hope you don't mind me being chatty--do you live in Cambridge bay? I'm an American but I'm extremely keen on Canada and love learning more about its geography. Until a few minutes ago I knew nothing about Nunavut geography but now I know about Victoria Island and Ellesmere and Baffin Island. Is Cambridge Bay located on the "mainland" of North America?--达伟 (talk) 10:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. That's cold! Nunavut is really fascinating. You must like it otherwise you'd leave? It's so unique...and it's the size of Western Europe! According to Wikipedia, flights from your side of Nunavut to the capital are $2200! Will air travel be expanded in the future? Also, it's quite interesting that the capital was founded as an American airbase in 1942. Also, if you have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do and want to explore some random intellectual musings, you can check out my "blog" of sorts, though a lot of it may be uninteresting to you: User:达伟/pensieri--达伟 (talk) 10:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I will try not to take up much more of your time. I imagine things must be expensive, kind of like Alaska (as far as I know). In towns in the low-population central belt of the US, and in southern Canada -- for example New Mexico where I've lived before -- prices are low, but when you get to be rather isolated geographically (no offense), I guess the costs really go up. I looked up Ulukhaktok, and it seems you have the most northerly golf course in the world, and many of the town's inhabitants are descended from a Danish explorer. Not bad :) How much Inuktitut do you speak? Do you mind if I contact you for time to time with questions about Canada? If you have a busy life please don't hesitate to say no! --达伟 (talk) 11:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Deh Cho BridgeWiki

I recently became somewhat interested in the Deh Cho Bridge project, and spent some time trying to figure out the various bits of the agreement. I set up a little wiki site to help organize things for myself, and I'm doing some cleanup in hopes that it might be useful for others. I put a link to the site into the Deh Cho Bridge article, but I've temporarily reverted it out again (here). I'd like to have someone else add it back in to avoid any conflicts.

Perhaps you could swing by the article and re-enable the link? Thanks. NorthernRaven (talk) 04:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I was referring to Crete#Climate. Peter Horn User talk 16:23, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

The source is wrong. The template:convert does not lie: 49 cm (19.3 in) & 490 mm (19.29 in) Peter Horn User talk 17:23, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Add up the cm or the mm manually and then convert. Peter Horn User talk 17:32, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

The person who drew up the chart was "full of prunes". I only get a total of 42 cm (16.5 in) or 420 mm (16.54 in) for the year. Double check my arithmetic, Crete#Climate 17:49, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

The revers: 19.3 in (49 cm) or 19.29 in (490 mm) as well as 16.5 in (42 cm) or 16.54 in (420 mm). The source table is a royal foul up. Peter Horn User talk 19:24, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot. 19.6 in (49.8 cm) or 19.6 in (498 mm). template:convert works just fine, it is the source table that is in ludicrous error. Peter Horn User talk 19:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Trouble Down Under

Your Grace, the minions are squabbling again. Sadly, a small group of what appears to be New Zealand based article owners have planted their national flag here: Russell Crowe [1]. Well meaning, foreign crusaders for truth are quickly identified and their edits reverted into oblivion. I pray that you will, as time allows, visit said article and liberate her from the death grip of the Kiwis. As always, I remain your most humble servant, Eudemis (talk) 02:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

It is entirely improper to try and raise support by canvassing in this manner. And you are entirely all wet, I am not a New Zealand based editor, I live in the United States, and your continually stating I have ownership issues is a personal attack that simply must stop.

Why I Changed My Username

I want to tell you the truth about why I changed my username from User:Bowei Huang to User:A1DF67. But there is a problem. The problem is that if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. I mean, I don't think you would believe it. Nobody would believe it. I don't think anybody would believe it. If I told you it, you would probably think that I was making it up. I think that that is what you would think if I told you it. That is the problem. That is the reason why I didn't tell you the truth about why I did it before. That is the reason why I lied about it. Sorry. I should have told you the truth before. I should told you that before. It is very hard and difficult for me to explain it. I don't know how to explain it. I am afraid that if I told you it, you wouldn't believe it and nobody would believe it.

You should have a look at User talk:Bowei Huang again.

If you are the PR person for the company then please take a few minutes to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and this has some excellent suggestions as to what you should be doing as does the US government. What I suggest you do is create an account for yourself, just you and not to be used by your department or anyone else that works for the company, but don't make the name anything like Play N Trade, see Wikipedia:Username policy#Company/group names for more information. Then start by pointing out your concerns and suggestions on Talk:Play N Trade. Thanks. something lame from CBW 21:35, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Russell Crowe

I appreciate your quick action to protect Russell Crowe to push the discussion to the talk page. As you can tell from there, there is now a clear consensus not to use the name of the other person involved in the lawsuit. Only one editor disagrees, and although he's been asked numerous times to make his case there (or on other relevant boards), he is refusing to do so. He's claiming that everyone who has commented on the matter is a meatpuppet, basically.

In any case, there's no longer any discussion over the matter, so there's no need to keep the page protected. As such, I'm requesting the unprotection of the page. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 01:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

This is patently false, of course, if you read through the talk page. Wildhartlivie has canvased everyone who weighed in on the issue- all supporting her. This vote stacking attempt included her friends Dayewalker, XLerate, MikeAllen, Victor9876, Nil Einne, CrohnieGal. After I exposed that they were all connected giving citations, they continued on as if in a few hours I would forget. [2] I asked if anyone in the room was not connected in some way to Wildhartlivie and outside her network, no one responded. Worse emboldened by her army of friends in the room, Wildhartlivie called me a "Dick". The others chimed in as well with varying levels of insults. I believe Wikipedia has an interest in enforcing its canvasing rules and putting this type of gang action to an end. If you will look, there was no neutral person in the room to discuss anything substantive (i.e. Wildhartlivie's reversions of my cited edits). If some poor soul ever did look into the talk room, they would never have felt free to comment. It's been a farce. Long, tedious yes, but I would encourage you to take a look. Thank you. Eudemis (talk) 03:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

You have absolutely no grounds to make canvassing accusations here and your attempts to attack every single editor who responded on that talk page is sufficiently severe to warrant action. You were guilty of unsoliticited canvassing to editors who you do not know and then you posted a RfC, where you have proceeded to attack every single editor who has responded. Your behavior is toxic and assaultive. You attempted to create connections between me and every editor who responded, even down to trying to prove a connection between me and an editor who posted once to Talk:Judy Garland in May 2009 after I last posted to that page in February 2008. You have attacked every editor who has responded with your specious accusations of canvassing, canvassing behavior for which you were reported to AN/I. You have waged personal war and cast unfounded aspersions against every single editor who responded, down to even dragging in posts to a Star Trek bulletin board where an editor thanked me and another editor for helping on an article. Your behavior is noxious and attacking and there is no valid reason why you haven't been blocked for tenditious editing yet. Your personal attacks spread to each and every editor who responds there. Something needs to be done about you besides your refusal to respond to an WP:AN/I complaint about your behavior. CambridgeBayWeather, could you please take a look at the voluminous evidence posted at WP:AN/I#User:Eudemis, personal_attacks, improper canvassing and edit warring for the evidence and do something about this editor? He even attacked an IP poster for being an IP. This has become untenable and yet, no one at AN/I seems to care enough to take action against this assaultive editor. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I understand that you consider this matter defused (and you're busy) but you mentioned that I, as I am the sole person on my side, had attacked someone. While the "personal attack" claims are made with virtually every post by the group of 7, I am curious as to anything personal or inappropriate I posted. Other than pointing out that everyone commenting was connected to Wildhartlivie. Any nucleus of friends can control each's pet article through cluttered talk pages, sheer numbers and personal attack claims. Nil Einne, the editor she's claiming she's not connected to, is related to XLerate [3]who is related to Wildhartlive[4]. Nil Einne entered with Xlerate and was canvased to support Wildhartlivie. It wasn't hard to figure out their connections. I can't see how Wikipedia would want Wildhartlivie with a disabled sock puppet [5] to control articles by sheer numbers this way. Eudemis (talk) 13:57, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I am going to say this once, Eudemis, and then I expect you to stop. STOP ATTACKING ME. First of all, you keep finding obscure pages that mirror pages from Wikipedia. Those are frigging EVERYWHERE. I have never posted to the website http://www.theskyiscrape.com, that is a MIRROR site of a Wikipedia page. You are garnering NOTHING by continuing to hunt up your supposed connections. STOP trying to cast aspersions based on what you believe are connections. You cannot link me to Nil Einne. Your contentions are as specious as the connections you allegedly are finding. Sort of like when you claim you can link me to Nil Einne from a posting she made to Talk:Judy Garland 15 months after the last time I posted there. It means NOTHING. That two editors posted to a very long and drawn out discussion on Basically like Xlerate posting a response to a thread wherein I also posted, but she did so the next day and no one responded to it. That means NOTHING regarding anything you are trying to make it into. STOP IT. You have nothing to support your contention that ANYONE was canvassed to post on the Talk:Russell Crowe on my behalf and frankly, I'm sick and tired of your persistent attacks against editors. YOU were the one guilty of canvassing other editors to come in and support you. I posted NO request that anyone come in to post on the Crowe talk page, unlike you who did that exact thing. What YOU did was canvassing. If other editors come to that talk page from various points does not prove or support your bad faith accusation of canvassing on my part. STOP IT. I did nothing of the sort and you have nothing to support your bad faith accusations. What the hell is wrong with you that you feel the need to attack every editor that showed up on the Crowe talk page? WHAT makes you think, even for one second, that this sort of behavior is acceptable? You have NOTHING to support your bad faith attacks on, and it's far and away absolutely time for it to stop. I have no clue why administrators haven't taken you to task for your conduct, but it's frigging time for you to STOP. Oh, and for the record, I did my block time for the sock thing, and I submitted proof that I and the other editor are different and distinct people. There is no valid reason for me to be "run off" Wikipedia. You are reaching and launching attacks against me and I'm sick and tired of it and expect it to quit. Actually, I expect administrators to take you to task for your extremely poor conduct regarding this whole situation and I expect you to desist from attacking each and every editor who posted against you. What makes you think this is acceptable or appropriate conduct. I'm sick of it and I demand you desist from making attacks on me and the other editors on that page. There's something completely wrong with someone who spends his time searching out mirror sites and trying to use them to prove something. This is specious and horribly inappropriate attacks on various editors and your attacks MUST STOP. STOP IT. Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and in case you missed it, dick is linked to an essay about that sort of behavior. It wasn't calling you names, it was a commentary on your clearly incivil and personally attacking posts. CambridgeBayWeather, what can a person do to get something done about this editor? He has clearly attacked each and every person that posted to Talk:Russell Crowe, makes unfounded and unsubstantiated accusations of violations of WP:CANVASS, after his own attempts of clearly obvious attempts to canvass support was exposed, and keeps running around the internet, posting links to pages that mirror pages on Wikipedia, and claiming that it is proof that editors routinely communicate in more than one place. And his continued assertions that Nil Einne and Xlerate are "proven" connected to me because I posted a response to Talk:Judy Garland in February 2008 and Nil Einne did the same, ONCE, in May 2009 to an entirely different thread. His continued attacks on me and on the other editors who responded to Eudemis's own RfC to Talk:Russell Crowe went over the line. Can someone please make this editor STOP attacking persons who respond to his own RfC and his specious accusations that I canvassed the responses has gone beyond the sublime into the clearly spiteful search for "proof" based on responses to talk page threads 15 months apart and his specious and unfounded accusations of improper canvassing simply have to stop. He's still carrying on and it's been days since this all started. Why won't administrators respond to Eudemis's blatant attacks to other editors? His crusade to undermine the consensus on his RfC is both bad faith and his continued attempts to stir trouble by attacking everyone who responded is incivil and quite disruptive. This needs to be stopped. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

The problem with using Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts is that he flatly refused to respond to the rather length postings on AN/I, despite the fact that several serious points were made by a number of different editors. If he won't respond to AN/I (which essentially was blown off by any and all administrators on that page since NONE responded to the complaints) I can't see him taking WQA seriously either. I'll drop a note to another editor to garner feedback on going for a WP:RfC/U. It's rather sad, and not just a little ironic, that all of his attacks were launched against editors who responded to the editor's own RfC on an article issue. It's intolerable. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:07, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

(OD) Everyone, I sincerely doubt CambridgeBayWeather appreciates this going on here on his talk page. Eudemis did make some out-of-line accusations of collusion, but the article is unprotected, and he seems to be respecting the consensus, so there's no other trouble for now. If anything else comes up in the future, it can be reported to the proper noticeboard but for now, I'd just advise everyone to let this one go and get back to editing. Dayewalker (talk) 22:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

In fact, after the first sentence of my post at 21:06 above, my post was to CambridgeBayWeather and the post I made just above the one by Dayewalker was directly a response to something CambridgeBayWeather posted to me from the 21:06 post and was directed to him. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

What's Wrong?

Dear Mr. Cambridgebayweather, I would like to apologize if I angered you by my changing of the page. The part I changed was the route of a link, not deleting parts of the article, as you wrote on the Inukshuk history page. In the contex of the Inukshuk,the article was saying where Canadian Inukshuks were brought to other countries as a means of a gift. One of these places was to Washington D.C.. Rather than the link for D.C. to go to the D.C. page, I thought it more fit to redirect the link to go to the Canadian Embassy in D.C., where the actual statue is located. I did not delete any of the actual words on the article, as you wrote that I did on the Inukshuk history page. Again, sorry for any inconveniences, just please be more specific to what I did wrong, so that I work make such horrendous mistakes in the future.

Wudu

Hi- Why did you delete the section from Wudu? I believe you are in error.

Please do not try to make these changes because there are obviously three translations at the USC Quran source which you noted. Sunnis believe one is correct and Shias believe the other is correct. That is why there are 2 separate categories for the translation of that verse. You cannot combine them into one.

Thank you.

I agree- however it makes sense to include both versions of the translation of the Holy Quran. Not just one interpretation- because I think it is inaccurate to say that Shia Muslims agree with the translation that verse 5:6 says "wash" feet. If they did, there would not be a difference. Rather Shia Muslims go with the Shakir translation which says "wipe" feet. This is interpretation is root of disunity on the performance of wudu. Thus, both translations : Ali & Shakir should be included. I hope you see that minor ,but very important distinction.

Thank you, Valerie

Disruptive editing at this article

Hi there. Would you please be so kind and look thoroughly into this issue? There's an editor who keeps changing the type of album from "studio" to "demo" on this article. He has no reliable verifiable sources to back up his edits, he tried unsuccessfully to have the article deleted alltogether.

The editor has a long history of disruptive editing, blocks, topic bans etc. As his own account is already blemished as such, he basically has nothing to lose if he receives a further block for edit war. This is why I believe he is so adamant in continuing his reverts, wanting to engage me in an edit war.

I am asking you, and have sent the same message to other admins online, to please thoroughly look into this issue. I have reported the whole incident to both Ani and Avi, yet to no avail. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 20:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Your sig line

Seeing it now on the Ref Desk, it threw me off at first. It appears to be part of the text of your response and I started wondering what the CBW was. It took me a second to think, "Oh! That's his signature!" So, I think it might be even more confusing for novice editors. Dismas|^(talk) 20:44, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

A different question, amazingly enough...

I'm trying to remember, was it you who had expressed a concern to me way back when the Category:Communities in Canada tree was moved to Category:Settlements in Canada, regarding the fact that some places in the territories actually have "settlements" as their formal designation? For what it's worth, there's now a move discussion underway to propose the naming convention Category:Populated places in Canada instead; it looks likely to pass, thankfully.

Could you clarify for me whether we need to retain Category:Settlements in the Northwest Territories and Category:Settlements in Nunavut as subcategories of the new Category:Populated places in the Northwest Territories and Category:Populated places in Nunavut, once those are created? And if so, which places will need to be retained in the settlements categories? I've already established what needs to be filed where in the Yukon. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 02:46, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Blocked user

Probably against my better judgement, I gave this blocked user another chance to make a valid unblock request before locking off his talk page, but I find it rather offensive that he's trying to use a deceased editor as an excuse for his actions, so if you want to yank it anyway, be my guest. That being said, I have to head out now, so you may want to keep an eye on that page in case he makes another request. Regards, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 18:27, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Our anglo-inventing friend

Good catch, thanks. I suspect we're going to need a continued watch for more of this; I'll also raise the topic at WP:CWNB to get more hands on deck.

I made another interesting discovery, by the way; I did a reverse DNS lookup on one of the anonymous IPs involved in this, and then because it was a generic bell.ca domain I did a Google search for the specific server name. That led me to a fascinating discussion on the WP:ANI equivalent on fr: -- since I don't know if you're able to read French or not, I'll summarize:

problematic edits from an IP range regarding (a) POV-pushing that presents Prescott and Russell as an independent country, and (b) weird and illogical ethnolinguistic creations, such as a fr:Liste de Canadiens anglais which includes the likes of Jack Anawak as, guess what, an "Anglo-Nunavois", and people like Jon Mirasty (who's Cree) and Agnes Martin (who's Fransaskois of some description, possibly even Métis) as Anglo-Saskatchewanais, can we please do an IP range block?

As frustrating as this is, I find some strange reassurance in the fact that other people have identified the same problems. Bearcat (talk) 18:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and by the way, as for the settlement categories I think that once the parent categories are switched over any leftover subcategories can probably just be speedy-moved or listed for discussion as needed. I haven't really given too much thought to metaorganizing the whole thing; I figured that once the stuff is switched over we can figure out if anything still needs to be changed once the basic structure's in place.

Question regarding humidex

I can't find any cities where you have used the humidex parameter in the weather infobox. For the year value have you used the average, or the maximum? Likewise for wind chill, average or minimum? I am rewriting the template. 117Avenue (talk) 14:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Duh, check Cambridge Bay, (facepalm). I think I may have seen the out of order references before, but dismissed it as the second one being used earlier in the article.

But thanks for pointing that out. 117Avenue (talk) 00:12, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Amougies aerodrome

Thank you for updating/correcting the page about Amougies airfield EBAM. I am however confused with your changing "restricted" into "private", could you elaborate on your reasons? To me, "restricted" is the correct classification, as it illustrates the aerodrome basically allows visitors, however with the restrictive condition of first calling to get permission PPR. This corresponds to the French "Aerodrome à usage restreint" or German "Sonderlandeplatz" and is, by the way, the case for most Belgian recreative airfields. "Private" would mean to me that basically no visitors are accepted; or only on express invitation, as for the a/d of a hotel or restaurant.

Also, I regret you removed the reference to the Belgian AIP: this is the one and only official source of information. Is that not our preferred source of information? Jan olieslagers (talk) 07:44, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Assistance required for user in clear violation of Wikipedia Neutral point of view policy

Hi Alan. Need assistance with distruptive/openly biased user Gwillhickers whose admittance of national bias and disproportionate national imagery on the Alexander Graham Bell article is a breach of WP:NPOV. Had to point out to him that Bell invented the telephone as a British citizen (which is dealt with in the article intro). Inspite of having advocated fair/balanced/proportional representation that meets neutrality standards (ie.equal national commemorative images from Scotland, US and Canada), the user has continued to be disruptive and breach fundamental NPOV wikipedia policy. Furthermore commemorative image placement is in the legacy/honors section (of which there is one from the US), so placing images with no relevance to the text in other sections is also breach of WP:MOS.

Page deletion/admin civility

I'd appreciate it if you'd be so good as to look over this exchange and let me know your view. Regards Redheylin (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

The assertion of notability (products reviewed in trade magazines, 50,000 google hits) WAS on the talk page. The article was deleted apparently without an answer on the talk page or my page and despite a hang-on notice. The policy that "the notability of a company need not be asserted in the article so long as it is verifiable" has been pointed out to the deleter, who is now ignoring requests to userfy the talk page so that the unanswered evidence may be examined. Redheylin (talk) 22:28, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

"I challenge you to a battle of wits, namely a nineteenth century underpant wearing contest. We stand back to back and the first man to wear out the seat of his pants dies, of exposure." Redheylin (talk) 22:38, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

"The north wind blew, flakes of white settled on my shoulder. To cap it all, I've got dandruff..." Ah, so! Contradictory guidelines. Well, that explains everything about why the "hang-on" should be ignored, the request for userfication of the talk page ignored, the guideline should be ignored and my requests for guidance should be ignored for days before being told to "get lost", of course! And how long did it take you? Gosh. And there was I thinking someone was being incivil. You should be made an admin. A what, Henry? An admin, Min. Redheylin (talk) 23:27, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Practically, though, ought steps be taken to sort out the misleading guidelines? And may I refer the article to you when notability is established? Note: I have spent a good deal of time sorting out music technology articles - several thousand edits - and am in a position to know which important articles are missing. I'd like to be able to add them without disruption. A speedy delete was added to this article within seconds of the first save. I followed guidelines to the letter and stopped work till the matter was resolved. There was no attempt whatsoever to resolve it or even to contact me. It's not possible to work like this, especially if the guidelines are contradictory and admins delight in ignoring them anyway, refusing advice with abuse and discourtesy. I am not asking you to fix everything - but what to do? Redheylin (talk) 01:49, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

POV Tags

Hi CBW, My apologies for not responding directly sooner. Regarding the POV tag I elected to use at the Alexander Graham Bell page last week, I just wanted to mention that several brief attempts at discussion were made through the edit notes in the edit history log. Not sure exactly at 'what' point the POV tag went up, but I do know it did so when discussion was initiated in the discussion page. That was the first time I have ever used a POV and wanted to assure you that it was not used without any reservation. The issue began when an 'editor' whose name, 'gold coast surf', just appeared in the edit history of the last several days there, removed an image of Bell's telephone on a U.S. postage stamp, not because of its content, but because of its 'national origin' claiming that to include another image on the page from the U.S. would disturb the balance of neutrality, etc. I argued that the entire Bell article could be presented in a NPOV capacity even if the author(s) was from the U.S. and used only images from the U.S. I also took issue with the idea that if we were to establish such rigid rules of inclusion it seems it would force the removal of many images throughout Wikipedia as most of the pages have images from one country of origin. At least for myself, I thought the issue important enough to use the POV tag. Ultimately my request for mediation failed because the other party refused to participate, so I removed the POV and bowed out, as the three parties involved in the dispute were not from the US.

The whole issue was terribly divisive which is another reason why I pursued it no further. Ashes have since settled there and the image I included no longer remains. I make mention of this now as the issue involved a lengthy, unresolved dispute over something like national origin and that issues like this perhaps need to be addressed or reviewed by administrators and policy makers. -- May I also add that I seek no assistance in the past dispute, as it is quite over on that page. I could have easily solicited support by going straight to the Philately project with the news of what had happened, and why. Of greater importance here is that the disputed image was declined on the basis of national origin, in the name of balance, as if the entire page took on a completely different aspect upon inclusion of this one image. Its removal was based on an assumption such would have occurred. Again, I hope an issue like this will have at least been addressed among administrators when the chance presents itself in the future. All the best. GWillHickers (talk) 23:07, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

I actually knew about that error, but didn't know how to tackle it. Quite simply, the template you linked on my talk page is the only one out of the eight that has intricate code. The rest are the same except for the urls they link to. Although wikipedia parser functions are the first 'code' I learned, after learning others, it leaves much to be desired.. I'm not giving up on the intricate one, but it's going to be a big longer before I fix it. Also, as I don't want to do it later, do you want the one's code to be the same for the rest?— Dædαlus ^Contribs 05:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Foreign vs. Exotic in Nanook

Hello CBW,

Saw your edit to Nanook of the North. I for one would vote for "exotic." "Foreign" is a word other Euro-Americans apply to one another -- the Brits to the Norwegians, the Americans to the Spanish, or the Germans to the Portuguese -- Foreigners are not necessarily "exotic." Whereas groups which, from the Euro-American view, are further flung -- the Eskimos, Hottentots, or Igorrotes -- are not only foreign but also exotic, of intrinsic interest for their seeming strangeness.

Hi CBW - I know this comes months late, but all those geo templates, especially the island ones (there are so many islands!) are wonderful. They certainly help in navigation, and really influence understanding of what is where, IMO. Good job! --Rosiestep (talk) 02:08, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm not gonig to 'bash' you. Actually, wanted to thank you for pointing that out (Servinghistory.com...), it's in pretty small print, so it's not easily noticed. I honestly didn't notice it, until after you mentioned it.

Now, to continue on my hunt of updating the CFS portion (I'm working at the Debert Military Museum, so I figured i'd try to update it some, and it's bothering me how little refrences there are.

I suggest that you log back in and recreate the article in your user space such as at User:Mng2311/Sandbox. Then makes sure you show how the article meets the criteria set out at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and that it's sourced and does not look like an advert. Get the advice of another editor and then move it to the article space. If you work on it in your own space it won't get deleted. I'll move the deleted version there now.

Assistance

Hi! What is usually done with a cloud of sockpuppets (across several wikis, some as IPs, most as 'new users') of a banned user who blanks pages en masse, creates hoaxes, uploads cpvios to wikimedia, 'translates' content from enwiki to other languages without proper attribution (and nominates said content for featured content there), demands creation of new wikis claiming to be of a minority American group in one such case, and edits other people's user pages? Nearly all of this is related to Greenland, and is quite easy to see over time. This is of course getting quite tiresome at some point. Would you be willing to lend a hand? — Algkalv (talk) 12:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I'd like to do it now, as I won't have time later. Would the admin incidents page be fruitful? I'm asking, as I have already done this once on commons, in early May, but got zero response, although both the enwiki hoax and the cpvios were deleted. There is a lot more than this, this is just a sample. archive. So, which should I pick of those you quoted? And, what would be needed, a list of IPs and usernames and a list of diffs for each? There is a truckload of those. — Algkalv (talk) 17:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, but the WP:AN/I page states in bold that that board is only for English Wikipedia issues, and in a list below directs to sockpuppet investigations. This is a crosswiki issue. So, should I post there anyway? I just want to be extra sure before I post ;) — Algkalv (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

That's exactly the problem, the issues are cross-wiki. What should I do then? — Algkalv (talk) 18:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Then it looks like nothing can be done globally. The vandal had everything I know of reverted already on en-wiki, so my post on the board would be ignored, I suppose. I think it's a 'hole in the system' that a problematic user and their sockpuppets can operate globally at will. I think that if someone is banned in X, this person should be bannaed at Y, for any Y!=X. Ok, then I'll drop it, and deal with the recent problems on relevant wikis, though I have better things to do than chase a troll. And thank you for many replies ;) — Algkalv (talk) 19:17, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you ;) Greenland-related pages have very few contributors (and watchers, and interested admins), and it gets very lonely there. It's good to have someone who is willing to help out with issues (though on the other hand, for the same reason these issues are relatively infrequent, apart from the main article about the country, which seems to attract people the same way as the main page about Inuit does). While I'm here, I'll say that I commiserate with the high flight prices you have to endure up there in CB ;) I once calculated what it would cost me to fly through the most important towns in Nunavut, and I came up with.... 30,000 NOK... I couldn't sleep afterwards :D — Algkalv (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Right, that goes to show that the only sensible route to Nunavut is through Greenland ;) The far south of Canada would be too hot anyway... Here is to hope that the Nuuk-Iqaluit route is opened for good. Strange though that one of the most expensive connection within Nunavut seems to be the Iqaluit-Rankin Inlet route (the loop through Resolute seems to be more theoretical than real), as if the two parts of Nunavut had little contact, and going through the far south was more common. — Algkalv (talk) 08:20, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Finally spotted something Canadian in Greenland. Preparations for war over Hans Island? ;)

(been away up north, so this is a delayed reply) I once attempted to draw an SVG of all relevant connections in Canada (ignoring the south, mostly), and came up with this, before I got seriously looped in Labrador and gave up ;) But still, it should be accurate and complete as of late last year regarding the north. What I'm after is not a transfer in Yellowknife, or at least, not both ways. Apart from a hop to Baffin Island from Greenland, I'm thinking of a twisted round-the-world itinerary which would be as far 'up there' as I can make it, hence my interest. There is a big gap northeast of Rankin Inlet, but otherwise possibilities there seem to be many. A once-weekly through Resolute sounds good, if only I could combine it with Nanisivik, for example. Strange that Repulse Bay is so isolated. Kugaaruk or Hall Beach are so 'close'... Eeh, a flight itinerary combining as many airports as possible in Nunavut would be just as good as a RTW ;) — Algkalv (talk) 17:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest - Question

I have read the article on Wikipedia's COI and had a question. If there is an article related to rules for a game that I created solely ( but did not create the article for as to per avoid COI ), what is the proper procedure for editing? If there is a rule that is incorrect, am I allowed to correct it? If so, where do I have to cite my COI? The article's talk page, or my user page, or both? Or do I have to make a suggestion to correct in the talk and wait for a non-COI user to make that edit by proxy if they feel it is up to standard? If I only modify existing entries with fact corrections (no promotion or controversy), am I within editor guidelines? BaShildy (talk) 01:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

'Burlesque' Wiki Page - Highly relevant sites/links have been deleted - why?

I would just like to know why some of the external links on the Burlesque wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlesque) have recently been removed, and other, less relevant/significant links have been allowed to remain, both in 'External Links' and 'See Also'.

Both The Ministry of Burlesque and 21st Century Burlesque Magazine, for example, have well established, high profile and informative burlesque websites - it makes sense to have them listed as a point of reference.

Just wonder if you could explain your decision to remove them.

Thanks.

87.112.110.172 (talk) 23:10, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

I've been away for a while, so sorry I didn't reply sooner. It appeared that there was an effort to promote one site over another starting here, which I then restored. An IP then removed two links so I removed the third. Rather than have a back and forth over which commercial site(s) should be included I thought it better that all go. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 14:52, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I see - that makes sense. However, both 21st Century Burlesque and Ministry of Burlesque are leading burlesque websites, and they really should be there. Nothing to do with bias or promotion - they are simply very significant points of reference. There are other websites and individuals that should also be listed. There are other links currently on that page which point to sites that have not been maintained in a very long time, or are fairly random links to things that are not very established or significant.

I am happy to propose a list of appropriate links for you to consider adding - I just think the links and references on this page need to be brought up to date. I say this as someone heavily involved in the current scene/industry.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my first message - I appreciate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.185.94 (talk) 13:58, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

84.93.173.69 (talk) 22:14, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I removed anybody that does not have an article such as Kelly Setliff and had no references to prove that they were notable. Others like Kittie Klaw and Jo Weldon, have a web site, but need something more to prove that they are notable in the field. Although for Weldon the fact that she has a school in part demonstrates notability but it would be good to have a second reference not connected to her. On the other hand Red Hot Annie could probably stay based on the NBC reference. The problem is that once red links get put in without a reference then you can't tell if they are legitimate burlesque performers or just people who want to see their name, or their friends, in Wikipedia. The burlesque article is not bad for that, its more common in articles about towns where people add names. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 10:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

If Winnipeg (pop. 0.7 million) has average winter (Dec.-Feb. incl.) minima of -20.2°C, Harbin, China (pop. 4.8 million) has average winter minima of -21.2°C and Ulan Bator, Mongolia (pop 1.1 million) has average winter minima of -24.8°C, Does Winnipeg have the coldest winter minima of any city in the world with a population of over 600,000? You seem to think it does, but I don't understand how you reached this conclusion. Can you help me out with this one? --24.77.41.241 (talk) 23:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I really don't have anything to do with that anymore. However I will point out that the section in question says "...average night-time temperature during December, January and February..." It does not say anything about the 24 hour average temperature for December, January and February. In other words it is taking about a very specific set of temperatures.

Personal opinion only, but having been in both Winnipeg and Ulan Baatar in the winter time, I am willing to say that Ulan Baatar is the coldest city on the planet. Although this particular passage is giving very specific criteria, I am just saying UB is GD cold....--kelapstick^(bainuu) 13:03, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Unlike here which is having one of the warmest periods for this time of year. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 06:25, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello CBW, Please see my reply at User talk:Peter Horn#Coordinates. I was acting in good faith and may be I have to do some "bug hunting". Peter Horn User talk 15:05, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Chesterfield Inlet

Regarding your move proposition of Chesterfield Inlet, do you think the inlet should be at Chesterfield Inlet (Nunavut) and Chesterfield Inlet should be a DAB page? Just a thought.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 01:39, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Mayor lists

I split up List of mayors in Canada, a list of "current incumbents" which wasn't always properly updated and had an arbitrary population cutoff being applied to it. So those lists should be current incumbents only (but at least on the old list, that was claimed to also be inclusive of "mayor-equivalent" roles like the reeve of a village or hamlet, or the chief of a First Nation, even though those almost always fall on the wrong side of that arbitrary population cutoff.)

Given that all I did was split up an existing list that wasn't always properly maintained, if there are wrong names they can just be updated to whoever is now in the position, and other places that haven't been added can also be listed — but "all people who have ever been mayors" lists should be grouped by individual municipality instead of by an entire province or territory.

You should reinstate the Zhao Lianhai article

Zhao Lianhai has been detained in Beijing without receiving a verdict (despite being tried 7 months ago) for his work as an activist on behalf of Chinese children who became sick after ingesting milk products tainted with melamine. The article should be linked to the 2008 Chinese milk scandal article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdlipes (talk • contribs) 17:48, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Qikiqtarjuaq

I note you have deleted a couple of URLs from the Qikiqtarjuaq page relating to its airport. In your revision comment you noted a remark added to the Instrument Approach Plate was spam. The airport at Qikiqtarjuaq, serving an important function in transatlantic aircraft ferrying (in addition to being a vital asset to the community), warrants a mention on the article page.

Reference Desk-style question

Hope you don't mind an WP:RD/S question at your talk page; I doubt anyone would be in a better place than you to answer my question. The link to the real Cambridge Bay weather on your userpage tells me that Friday's and Saturday's highs are supposed to be just 1º and 2º respectively warmer than the lows; why does the temperature vary so little? Nyttend (talk) 03:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

By the way, if you reply here, please leave me a talkback. Nyttend (talk) 03:10, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)If I may, Cambridge Bay is heading into (or is already in) the dark season. No sun to warm up during the day? (In simple terms). Close? I likely shouldn't be answering weather questions on a meteorologists talk page...My RD style question is why don't meteorologists study meteors?--kelapstick^(bainuu) 04:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I thought of that, but the graphic shows the sun during the daytime, so I figured that it was above the horizon somewhat. This is supported by our article on Cambridge Bay, which says that night doesn't begin until the very end of November. Nyttend (talk) 05:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

If it's cloudy and windy, maybe the warmth (that's sub-zero warmth, son!) can't really accumulate. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 05:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

It's been a while since I looked at a weather report for the arctic in the winter (probably since I was last there 10 years ago), but I believe it uses the sun during the day, not becuase it is sunny, but because it is daytime. As you get closer to polar night, the daylight hours get shorter. Looks like the sunrise is at 9:00 am, and the sunset is at 2:00pm.[10]. Not a whole lot of time to heat up. I am sure that Mr. Weather will be glad to educate us when he wakes up, but for now I am happy to speculate.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 06:00, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Dear RD: Why don't cosmetologists study the cosmos? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 05:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Partly because that falls under the long range forecast. The further ahead the forecast the less accurate it becomes. However, it's an indication of a fairly stable weather system. On a daily basis the temperature variation will usually be no more than 5 °C (9 °F) to 10 °C (18 °F). If you look at Coral Harbour for Saturday they have an 8 °C (14 °F) change. That would be due to the cloud moving in to cover the sky and keeping the warmth in. Once the cloud cover is there the temperature will rise. It sounds wrong that a lack of sun makes the temperature rise but that's what happens in the winter. No cloud and the sun reflects off the snow/ice and heat is lost and it works during the polar night when there is no sun. We can get extreme changes in temperature in January/February with −40 °C (−40 °F) one day and −5 °C (23 °F) then next. Unfortunately the rise in temperature is accompanied by a blizzard. One other thing to look at is the long range forecast. There is a large difference between the current forecast and the normal temperatures for this time of year. All of October and most of November has been warmer than normal and may be another reason why there is only a 1 °C (2 °F) to 2 °C (4 °F) range. The weather in October was somewhat like the normal for September with little snow and quite a bit of rain. The ice, which we normally start measuring during the last week of October, had just started forming then and has only just reached the safe thickness of 20 cm (7.9 in).

meteorologists study meteors - well would you want to stand under a large rock that was working hand in hand with gravity waiting to see if was going to turn into a meteorite?

cosmetologists study the cosmos - given the choice between studying the Universe or beauty which would you pick, not to say that there isn't any beauty in the Universe but most of it is a long way off. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 06:18, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed reply! Much of what you say surprises me — for example, I know that cloudy winter nights aren't as cold as clear winter nights here in the central USA, but I didn't expect that the cloud cover would actively warm the area. Nyttend (talk) 12:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

No problem. It's certainly an odd effect. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 19:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Don't know if anybody is still looking at this but here is an interesting view of the last 24 hours temperature. I thought it felt a bit cold this morning and much warmer in the afternoon. And tomorrow it is supposed to go right up. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 22:31, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Osman Mahmoud somali clan

Hi there I'm wring to you regarding Osman Mahmoud somali clan article. I was adding Ayaan Hirsi Ali to prominent figures but you are deleting her. Why is that?

Regards Igor —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parmatula (talk • contribs) 13:35, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

CBW, the mention of the subject in various articles has gone back and forth for various reasons. I take it that the subject is deeply unpopular in some quarters, and previous removals were apparently made to somehow dissociate her from one group or another. (I've also seen her removed from "Notable Mogadishans" because she is a Dutch citizen, and (somehow) no longer a Mogadishan.) The article Hirsi Magan Isse, about her father, states that he is part of the Osman Mahmoud clan, but does not cite any source for this (I've now flagged it accordingly). The Ayaan Hirsi Ali article only specifies Darod clan (see citation #13). I think you are right to challenge inclusion in the Osman Mahmoud article, absent a source (in one of the articles) that would justify it. Have a better one, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:52, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Grayfrog Ayaan Hirsi Ali writes about her clan and roots in her book Infidel she clearly states her clan as Darod and Osman Mahmoud as well regarding her removal from Notable Mogadishans she was born in Mogadishu. Igor —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parmatula (talk • contribs) 13:07, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

If she has said that then it could be included using the book as a reference. Don't forget to include the page number. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 16:20, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Reer Cumar etc.

It's possible, perhaps likely, that there is more than one Reer Cumar as these are based on given names (Cumar = Omar if I am not mistaken, and Reer or Rer is some kind of descriptor). For all I know there are other Reer Cumar clans besides Majeerteen and Isaaq. (There is at least one other one like this, but I can't recall the name, starts with "Habar" I think.) Perhaps Reer Cumar could/should be a disambig. page, pointing to Majeerteen and Isaaq. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:15, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

P.S. I also weighed in with this at AfD. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:11, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

McLeod Lake population

Saw your fixes....one of the problems with StatsCan's data-collection methods is they don't chronicle individual communities, at least not in publicly-searchable tables, only by electoral areas, which are vast, often bigger than a whole Maritime province and often mostly empty. So where we'll find specific figures for McLeod Lake's non-Indian, non-reserve population, that's debatable....and it's not just this case, and in others like Alkali Lake, Moricetown, and so on, we n eed to find population figures for given settlements and info on what else is there other than Indian Reserves....as you may have picked up I'm opposed to using the FN categories on regular placenames, they should actually on on named IR articles or IR-redirects.....some in the cat e.g. Mount Currie still don't make that distinction, but when you see "First Nations reserves in British Columbia" on a comma-province placename, it often isn't exact and precludes the notion that the place in question might not be just native. The only data on McLeod Lake that was available was native....although I think this article was band-engendered....but if so isn't it interesting that the existence of other people there was not of sufficient interest to include....there must be population source for such smalltowns SOMEWHERE.....Skookum1 (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Dealing with the articles of Islam

I know that you are a regular contributor to Wikipedia and may I ask for your opinion. I had made the following pages:

• Islamic view of Sarah
• Islamic view of Cain and Abel
• Islamic view of Elizabeth
• Islamic view of Hagar

I had also made a template 'Honoured women in Islam'. All of these are now being discussed for deletion? May I know why? I would like it if none were deleted, as all these people are important to our faith --Imadjafar (talk) 09:26, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I proposed for deletion because they go against Wikipedia:Notability policy. read it and come back, instead of typing questions Someone65 (talk) 09:54, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Also, Shias dont accept bukhari hadiths and Shia hadiths dont mention those female names. You cant only think of Sunni point of view. If its in the Quran, then okay; if not, then leave it out of wikipedia. Otherwise its against Wikipedia:Neutral point of view Someone65 (talk) 09:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Change of heart

User:imadjar seems to have had a sudden change of heart [14] and is recreating the deleted pages. He's also deleting templates. [15]. What should i do? Someone65 (talk) 20:11, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

As well he should, Someone65. As I have explained on your talk page, these biblical figures and biblical prophets are the subjects of 1400 years of Islamic scholarship. And they are well covered in the modern academic literature. Notability. Aquib (talk) 20:19, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I object to these prophet additions by user:Imadjar because he provides no reference from anywhere. His articles are textbook violations of Wikipedia:No original research policy;

- There are no mentions in Sahih Bukhari

- no mention in Sahih Muslim

- No mention in the Quran

- No mention in Shia hadiths

- No mention in the Six major Hadith collections

- Most articles dont even have legit Primary sources

User:imadjar either uses

• bible verses (for an islamic article) .... or
• Quran verses which do not reflect the article title.

Its an absolute joke. I dont mind even if they were solely mentioned in Sunan Abu Dawood or something, but these figures play absolutely no role in Islam. This is making wikipedia look like a best-seller fiction novel. Look at my concerns with User:imadjar a month ago. User Imadjafar has a long history of falsely associating associating Biblical figures with Quranic ones Someone65 (talk) 23:09, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
