Your alternate user page

Don't you think people would be freaked out to see a big red X on their own user page? I must admit, that might make an interesting idea for a template. mechamind90 23:49, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Pardon? I'm not catching what you mean...  fetchcomms☛ 00:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, maybe I was leaning away from what I initially meant. Perhaps the Stop Sign style box that I included with my first message (the original one) is a little big compared to the "power button". It could easily be mistaken for vandalism, so I suggest putting it in a template "window" (any color) to make it look less scary. ...As for the template that I mentioned, a little off topic from the talk page, but it would probably work for the "Only Warning" messages in place of the current stop sign with a hand on it. mechamind90 02:41, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Question

Why aren't you an admin? Can I nominate you for adminship? NerdyScienceDude :) (✉ click to talk • my edits • sign) 02:19, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Similar to Marek69's response. I have relatively little experience to what is desired, do not participate in many discussions (particularly those concerning policy, etc.), have been active only a short time, and have no real need for the tools currently. It's kind of you to offer, but I doubt I would pass, and I wouldn't have much use with the extra buttons even if I did pass. Regards,  fetchcomms☛ 02:25, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

In addition, after seeing your offer to Coldplay Expert, you might want to read over WP:ADMIN. Administrators need more than just a few DYKs and some Huggle work. (Please don't misunderstand—Coldplay Expert is starting to become really a better user, but an RfA is not just "Oh, this user has done some nice work".)  fetchcomms☛ 05:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

IFU or FFU

Hi Fetchcomms, it is great that you are working on files for upload. A few weeks back I seemed to be the only one working here! When you create a file, can you add the project tagging to the talk page: {{WPAFC}} this will tag to the afc project. Hopefully the bot will come along and and the user and date to keep track of what is happening with the AFC project. There are some extra parameters, but too hard for me to remember, but the bot may fix up. Also if there is a free image that succeeds, there is a box up the top that you can add the successful uploads too. Don't add in the fair use ones, only the free images. Keep on plugging away at the FFU, you are doing a good job here! Thankyou! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:59, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for telling me. Actually, I think The Earwig dislikes having to run his bot for that, but he does it because he's nice anyhow ;). I'll try to remember about adding the banners and the images into the gallery, but hopefully Tim Song can add FFU to his great script and let it add them automatically! Thanks again,  fetchcomms☛ 19:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Strange unicode

Hi again

On your user page you have ⚐ and ⏎ which do not display on my machine, what do you do do to get these unicodes? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:18, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I know Google Chrome does not support the symbols though, but I use Firefox. I found them while looking a list of unicode symbols somewhere on-wiki, actually. There's probably some way to get them, but I'm not sure.  fetchcomms☛ 19:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Academy Awards

Thank you for your input on my List of Academy Award winning families page. It was suggested to me that I add references to the page to substantiate the award counts. Since there's no standard template for citing these awards in Wikipedia, I couldn't construct standardized links there, so I chose IMDB. I would have preferred the Oscars.Org database, but that page is a dynamic interface - you can't set a web address for an individual. --Klantry01 (talk) 17:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

The issue is, IMDB is an unreliable source. It is almost like a wiki that anyone can edit and change information. If possible, could you find a book about the awards, or a magazine/news article? That would probably be best.  fetchcomms☛ 22:26, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Would a catch-all reference to the Oscars.org database - maintained by the academy itself - be acceptable? The info is definitive, it just isn't maintained in a way that lends itself to automatically bringing up the awards list for each individual. --Klantry01 (talk) 04:48, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism

"Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Men of Power : Court intrigue in the life of Catherine Howard (book). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing." I understand your concern; but how then does one entirely remove a page your editors obviously aren't going to allow to be published?

Well as stated, I have another version to submit but the article is under review so I can't edit it as such. I don't know what you mean by continuing under one heading or giving it a title, I am brand new to Wikipedia and have only gotten as far as I have from the help of MWOAP. They seem to offer helpful advice in areas I'm very unfamiliar with, instead of just negatively shooting me down. If you would be so kind as to explain what you mean I'd be more than willing to oblige. Thanks

Proper protocol

Sorry to trouble you, but I wonder if you could tell me what one does when coming across something like this? I'm pretty sure there's a protocol, but I don't know what it is. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 14:51, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

The page has been deleted, so I can't see what it said. However, it was deleted on the premise that it was not notable. For a page that you feel does not establish its notability, you can nominate it for deletion. This particular article was nominated for speedy deletion, in fact. Other deletion processes for non-obvious cases include proposed deletion and articles for deletion.  fetchcomms☛ 15:45, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

It was a "biography" that contained a name and the statement that the person in question plays hockey and Doom 2. Thanks for the links.

I was wondering why some of the lawfirms located in Grand Rapids are not listed or dont have pages. I am going to create pages for them. I am a student so I can get just about any data base I want. I guess my question was what is the best way to source it if we cant use their website.

Visdog (talk) 20:03, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

A reliable source is by a reputable publisher/group/author and is independent of the subject. For example, books, news articles, magazines. If a subject has not received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources, it is not considered notable, and therefore probably should not have an article.  fetchcomms☛ 20:06, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

How!

Hi Fetchcomms, I'm still not giving too much time to the ACC Interface because I'm slowly gaining the comfort level and don't want to take up a wrong user name request. But wanted one query clarified which has been foxing me for a couple of days. How do you and some other users manage to latch on to user name requests so fast? Is it because you're active on the IRC and see the bot giving out the request? And do you further on reserve the request from the IRC itself (if so, what's the command?) or do you -- after seeing the request on the IRC -- log on to the ACC and then reserve the request? Sorry for questions that might sound amateurish :) Thanks in advance. Tc ▒ ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ▒ _―Œ ^{♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣} 06:05, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Usually, we are logged in already, and we use IRC clients that allow us to "stalk", or be notified, when someone says a certain word. In this case, I stalk "[Live]:", which is what the bot says every time a request or action occurs on the tool itself. I suggest using a client like Pidgin, Chatzilla, Xchat, or mIRC which should allow you do to the same. There is no connection from IRC to the tool itself, however. Whenever we get notified by the bot, we just reload the page and click reserve. (And these aren't amateurish questions at all!)  fetchcomms☛ 19:16, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

It's never looked good. Basically, if you are interested, I just want a simple design based off of the colors in this image, which I would like centered at the top. I would like all the text on the page to remain the same, but boxed differently. However you think looks good. The current image on the page should be centered at the bottom.

Thanks for your welcome. This is the first time I put up a page. Would you be able to review it for me? Did I do anything incorrectly? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_World_2010:_Transforming_Cultures:_From_Consumerism_to_Sustainability Vanessadam 09:33, 22 March 2010

Firstly, welcome again! A few things: Don't quote the overview, summarize the book in your own words. Quotes should be used only when needed, really. Also, you don't need to include the whole table of contents--Wikipedia is not a directory. it's probably best to just add a short summary of what each major section covers. You should also format your external links at the bottom like: [http://google.com Google home page], which creates Google home page.I must say, good work with the image uploading and fair use rationales! One last thing, leave new message sections at the bottom of a talk page. In any case, good work for a first article. Regards,  fetchcomms☛ 15:47, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestions. I just changed the external links formatting and will work on replacements for the quotes and table of contents and hope to have that done this afternoon. I appreciate your guidance! Vanessadam 10:57 MST, 22 March 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 16:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC).

Also, one more thing... I removed lots of the details from the Table of Contents (and will add descriptions once I have a chance to write them). I also replaced the Overview text. Should I do something specific to have the "new unreviewed article" tag removed? Thank you again. Vanessadam —Preceding undated comment added 15:54, 23 March 2010 (UTC).

Permission to use an adapted form of your signature

Hello fetchcomms, I am leaving this message to ask your permission to use an adapted form of your signature for myself. If you don’t want me to I respect your decision and I will not. The signature is below and so is the source code.

As I can't stop you from copying it anyhow (it's freely licensed, at least), thank you very much for asking me regardless. I've fixed it a bit, with non-breaking spaces to avoid line breaks in the middle of it, but this raises the character count to just one over the max, so I removed the ☛. Would that be OK? Otherwise, I don't care if you use the design. clarince63 ǀ talk ǀ contribs

I took your advice and asked him.

I asked Darrell Smith to send his permission to the wiki staff days ago; could I upload a picture now? I'm a little confused. :/ Thanks!

(Your user and talk page are damn great -do you work on other wikis as well?) Jargon ^๏̯͡๏) 00:05, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

They should email you back, I do not know what they are doing because I am not one of the team members. On another note, please do not use a template as your signature. Signatures should only go in the preferences, they should not be substituted or transcluded through a template.  fetchcomms☛ 00:10, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Oops. The sig rule seems to change depending on the wiki(a).. I usually use a subst template because I find the code of signatures to be quite annoying. Anyhow, this is how it should look like, right?

About the team, I think I'll have to contact it myself.. --Jargon ^๏̯͡๏) 00:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

3D Custom Girl article for deletion

Hey, it's about me, about my article that was proposed for deletion. And the reason you wrote was because you didn't find significant coverage for the game and on Google, there are lots of torrents and downloads. Well, I think it's kinda unfair, because if you do search almost any game on Google, earlier or later, you will find a torrent download link or a download related site. And I guess that there are game articles on Wikipedia that, maybe, people find even less coverage for it. So, I think that it's a bit unfair.

Nytrogod (talk) 23:39, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Many games are covered by independent reliable sources. That is what is needed, a lot of games have been featured in professional reviews or major gaming magazines. Also, if you see a game article on Wikipedia that you think is not notable, feel free to nominate it for deletion as well.  fetchcomms☛ 00:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Photo uploads

I sent the original email to the permissions-en@wikipedia.org. Is there anything else that needs to be done? {Cmguy777 (talk) 03:03, 30 March 2010 (UTC)}

You still need to specify the license (Creative Commons, public domain, etc.), and tag it as {{otrs pending}} to avoid further confusion. Thanks,  fetchcomms☛ 14:39, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Pictures

Hey, so you have just flagged like all of the pics I've ever uploaded. I own the copyright and know the author of each pic ect. and really don't know what else to do. Can you please help me out and tell me exactly what seems to be the problem. Thanks. Dsgschwaeder (talk) 17:09, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Because all the work is "copyright by Dubelyoo, LLC", you need to provide proof that you own the copyright and agree to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License. To do so, please email our OTRS team with instructions at this example. Please add the code {{otrs pending}} to all the images you uploaded as well, and when permission is confirmed, these will be changed by the OTRS team member handling it.  fetchcomms☛ 20:33, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 March newsletter

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn (submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. TonyTheTiger (submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is. Several WikiCup contestants and judges have already signed up, but regular reviewers and those who hope to do more reviewing are more than welcome to join at the drive page.

help needed in verification

76.175.195.240 (talk) 07:04, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fetchcomms, I've been trying to write an article on Juha Hemánus, a Finnish theater and opera director, and I'd love to meet your requirements, but to get inline citations from (other) reliable sources than just the director himself and his own files and memory seems to be impossible at this stage cause most of the shows are already a bit older and there just isn't data banks from all these theaters and operas online from which to verify. However, in the Finnish wiki there is a Finnish version of the same article, http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juha_Hemanus - perhaps the Finnish wiki editors know how to help and verify (they did help edit that version and it passed and was published)? Do you know how to contact them? I don't. Please let me know what I can do to help. All best, nanook190 at ningboyzgmail.com

Unfortunately, all articles on the English Wikipedia require significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. If this is not online, is there coverage in print material as well? This is needed to establish his notability and verify the information. not sure how the Finnish Wikipedia works, but all articles really should be sourced well. I do not know Finnish, so I am afraid I cannot help with contacting them, although if you know the language, you should ask at their user talk page like you did here. In addition, no need to give out emails, as I respond directly here.  fetchcomms☛ 16:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I'm Brian Overton. Everyone keeps saying that Mr. Mischief's from 1978, not 1972. I don't know why.

Well, the artwork has photos on both www.myspace.com/colinfrangicetto and at http://theunconsciouscollective.bigcartel.com.

Furthermore, this photo comes from a public video.

Will that work? It's a shame that his page doesn't have a picture.

Is there an image of the painting by itself? That might be better to claim fair use for, unless he has explicitly released his work into the public domain. fetchcomms☛ 14:42, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

RO'Connor 23:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Next time, reply on that page. The issue is, the artwork is copyrighted, unless you show me proof it is in the public domain. The YouTube video is copyrighted as well, but I think if you were trying to show that he makes videos, that you should try to find one not featuring the art as well.  fetchcomms☛ 23:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

GA Reviews

Hello, this is just a friendly reminder that if you plan to review an article at WP:GAC, make sure to add the #:{{GAReview}} ~~~~ tag under the nomination, as it is instructed at the top of the page. I added my name to William Windsor (goat) without realizing that you were in the process of reviewing it, which caused some frustration on my part, as I had already started drafting my comments. I've since changed my name to yours here; just make sure to do this yourself in the future. María (habla conmigo) 14:31, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh! Sorry! I had told the user I would review it on IRC and completely forgot to mark the page. Thanks for doing it for me, and I'm so sorry for wasting some of your time.  fetchcomms☛ 20:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
