Competition question

edit

What happened about the "$100" competition?? Its been a month ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 22:33, 4 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

The core contest. Which took place late November early December. I wrote a whole article Deforestation in Brazil for that contest hoping it could compete with the others but nothing ever came of it. There were supposed to be five winners decided some time after Dec. 9. I remember you telling User:Danny you'd chip in £100 ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 22:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I did several weeks ago but he didn't reply. I thought the competition was a great idea personally but I'd imagine it concerned the pretentious wikiites who want to avoid any "commericalization" of wikipedia!! I don't know the full story but I saw an argument on Jimbo Wales' talk page and they were having a go at him for approving it. Maybe I got it wrong but I;d expected a competition to be judged between Danny, Angela and somebody else and thought I stood a chance wit the others. Its only 100 bucks but still I thought it was a nice idea and disappointed they didn't keep their word ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 22:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC).Reply

Are there multiple people posting from there, you think? Lawrence Cohen 18:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

No idea, but if an anon wants to get really involved in a page I think it is best to make sure that they are not confused with others from the same IP address or it will make things confusing. Remember (talk) 21:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom

edit

I have regularly added myself to list of parties in ArbCom cases, and have actually done so in one of the current requests. You probably could as well. There is the chance that if any of your personal conduct is found to be dubious, that doing so might potentially place you in a situation to be sanctioned in some way, so you probably would want to consider that. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any real problems, provided you want to be a part of the ongoing discussion. Hope that helps a little. John Carter (talk) 17:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Missing image Image:Lastjudgement.jpg

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Lastjudgement.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Lastjudgement.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Lastjudgement.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:UNC Ramses.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:UNC Ramses.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 (talk) 02:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

This Arbitration case has closed, and the final decision may be reviewed through the above link. Further to the relevant findings of fact, Waterboarding and all closely-related pages are subject to article probation (full remedy); editors working on Waterboarding, or closely related pages, may be subject to an editing restriction at the discretion of any uninvolved administrator, whereby any edits by that editor which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, may result in a block. (full remedy).

Should any user subject to an editing restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be briefly blocked, up to a week in the event of repeated violations. After 5 blocks, the maximum block length shall increase to one year (full enforcement). Before such restrictions are enacted on an editor, he or she must be issued with a warning containing a link to the decision.

Egonomics (book)

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Egonomics (book), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Egonomics (book).

Template spacing

Hello! I noticed you adding Template:Compact periodic table to several pages, and adding line breaks when it interfered with other templates.

I added this to the articles you changed. – Psyche825 (talk) 21:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Joining project

edit

Thanks for the note. As I say I am often working on name disambiguation and that leads into surnames so it makes sense to have a foot in each Project as working closely together should help get the best of both worlds - it arose from this discussion in which I outline some ways for this to work, and ways the disambiguation project can help by spotting situations where the surnames get too big and split them off. It could all work well.

I also have the Dictionary of Surnames so will dust that off and see if I can't add anything (references are often thin on pages I've ha dealings with and that should help boost it a bit). (Emperor (talk) 16:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC))Reply

Templates

edit

Hey, thanks. Yes, I like templates and I like (space) science so I guess I'd be looking at that intersection sooner or later. Wow, you don't have many templates on your contribution page, do you?...! I'm only really into two things at present: using {{nowrap begin}} item{{·w}} item{{·w}} ... {{nowrap end}} to sort out linewrapping in templates and trying out {{Infobox}} on infobox templates not already using it. Like {{Navbox}}, it sure saves space and looks much more approachable. But I guess you already know all that. Anyway, thanks for pointing me toward your work -- I look forward to learning something from it. The Perodic Table ones look fantastic. Sardanaphalus (talk) 18:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Notable" Carolina basketball players

edit

Hi, I actually started a discussion at Talk:North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball#Notable players and coaches, but I figured I'd be WP:BOLD, since no one raised any objections and it'd been over a week since I made the suggestion. I didn't plan on my edit being the final version, but I thought I'd start by removing redundant listings and the riff raffs, and then we could add other lists (i.e. NBA all-stars, coaches and execs) later. But I'm always open to ideas, so please join the discussion. --Mosmof (talk) 16:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:UNC Ramses.jpg)

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:UNC Ramses.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I found a freely licensed image of Rameses, so I guess this one probably doesn't meet a claim of fair use now. Yellowspacehopper (talk) 16:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

List of paintings by Hans Gude - FA status

edit

Do you know if the current list is an exhaustive list of the paintings by Hans Gude. If so, I was thinking that this article maybe could qualify for Featured List status. What are your thoughts? Remember (talk) 21:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, I'm certain it is not comprehensive. It currently consists off all the paintings listed by Haverkamp (Haverkamp, Frode; Gude, Hans Fredrik [January 1992]. Hans Gude (in Norwegian). Oslo: Aschehoug. ISBN 8203170722. OCLC 29047091.), but I believe his book is incomplete because I have come across other images online that he does not cover.

Economics question

edit

Hi, I'm looking for an editor with knowledge of economics to address a question that I'm not sure of (you're the sole active editor on the Economics wikiproject that I've found so far). An editor added part of the following, including a referral to his own work and I would rather someone with the appropriate knowledge give the OK than an ignorant one such as I. Could you give me an opinion on the following?

The imperfection of the labour market is sometimes graphically presented with a UV-curve, a hyperbolic or similarly shaped curve that shows a fixed relationship between the unemployment rate on one axis and the vacancy rate on the other. If the economy changes, the labour market will move along this curve. Factors that affect friction will shift the curve inwards or outwards. It is possible to derive this curve mathematically by aggregating (infinitely small) submarkets of the labour market, if it is assumed that these submarkets follow a probability distribution. Formulae have been derived for the normal distribution[1][2] and the Weibull distribution;[3] the latter has the hyperbolic UV-curve (U x V = c) as a special case.

[2]Kooiman, P. (1985). "An empirical two market disequilibrium model for Dutch manufacturing". European Economic Review. 29 (3): 323–354. doi:10.1016/0014-2921(85)90044-3. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help)
[3](1983), "A family of market transaction functions", Foundations of Empirical Economic Research 1983/1, Rotterdam: Netherlands Economic Institute

Specifically, do you see any problems with bold sections, the citation or the text it accompanies?

My apologies for the vagueness, I'm trying to get an opinion based purely on the sources. Also, do you know if this publication serve as a reference in addition to, or as a replacement? Thanks, WLU (talk) 16:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wow, you give me way too much credit. I have no idea if this is accurate. Why don't you try asking User:Lawlorg. I believe he is a graduate student in economics. I am just a fan of the field. Remember (talk) 16:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Your advice to seek out a specific user is only slightly less useful than a response itself - I never know who to ask!

Speedy deletion of Harrison Pennoh

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Harrison Pennoh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Proposed deletion of List of victims of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of victims of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of lists WP:INDISCRIMINATE and Wikipedia is not a memorial WP:NOTMEMORIAL - there seems to be only one notable victim of the attacks thus far, Hemant Karkare

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hitchens

edit

Hi, why did you add the Hitchens demonstration twice to the article? The same sentence essentially now appears twice. Badagnani (talk) 18:38, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I was trying to create a section where all of the waterboarding done by reporters was lumped together but I didn't want to totally remove Hitchens opinion after waterboarding that the experience to him was definately torture. So that is why it is restated. I should have re-wrote the Hitchens sentence earlier in the article (so that the same sentence wouldn't appear twice) but I was in a rush. Feel free to revise.

I have three questions

edit

I made an edit today--one edit--to the article Carrie Prejean and have not made an edit to the article in days, but yet another editor reversed my ONE edit and then reported me on the 3RR notice board. I find this to be a clear use of Wikipedia to win a debate about article content and direction. Prejean was called a series of negative things by Perez Hilton, most of the words are contemptuous and vile, such as the b-word and c-word. There are editors that believe that each and every one of Hilton's use of those words MUST be included in the article about Prejean. Now, I don't see the need to have an article about Prejean dominated by the words and comments of ONE individual (highly negative words at that) dominate the life story of Prejean. It is tantamount to having the words of Saddam Hussein concerning George W Bush dominate the Wikipedia article about Bush. It violates Wikipedia avowed goal of NPOV and it violates BLP. Now, I know that consensus in Wikipedia editing is one of the goals, but consensus does NOT override other valid Wikipedia ideals such as BLP. There can be a compromise made where the gist of Hilton's highly negative opinion is included in the article, but at the same time it does NOT dominate the life story of Prejean. Prejean is notable for many, many reasons, not just her public fight with Hilton. She is notable for being a successful model; she is notable for participating in Deal or No Deal; she is notable for being the current Miss California USA; and she is now notable for being a TV personality. My first question is: Can you at least review the article and see if the second, third, fourth, and fifth repetitions of the b-word and c-word violates BLP? I believe that it does. And my second question is: Is it appropriate to make a report on an editor for violating 3RR even though that editor has only made one edit? And my third question is: Is misusing 3RR to win a debate on the proper interpretation of BLP appropriate? I don't think so.--InaMaka (talk) 15:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

RE your comment at WP:SCOTUS

edit

hello,

I just want to make sure I understand your comment --

Does that mean you're OK with changing the template so that by default, it does not produce the external link to the justia text?

Also, you've suggested something very interesting: What if the hyperlink produced by 410 U.S. 113 (1970) was Roe v. Wade? That would be fabulous. Of course, if the template were employed within Roe v. Wade, it would appear as 410 U.S. 113 (1970) (i.e. there would be no hyperlink, it would just be bold).

Making this work would be technically difficult -- i.e. we'd have to create Redirects from pincites to cases (e.g. 410 U.S. 113 redirecting to Roe v. Wade), but in the long run this is something we needed to do anyhow.

Anyhow, this thread at WP:SCOTUS is already very lengthy and complicated, so I'm wondering if you'd accept a proposal for clarifying your latest contribution:

  • I agree that by default, the template should not generate an external hyperlink to the text of the case; the external link should only appear when a specific section is referenced or quoted.
  • I think having links to the reporter volume make some sense, but what people will really want when they are reading a description of a case is a link to the pincite, not a link to the reporter in which the case that was referenced was published. Alternatively, the link should go to an article about the case.
  • I am neutral on how the pincite citation format should look except that if the link is external we need the external link arrow.

Hope this isn't presumptuous! I'm just trying to manage a very frayed thread. Thanks. Agradman talk/contribs 14:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks! I know it was a weird request ... but I'm sure you're familiar with how exhausting it can be to organize consensus around something.

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

edit

Hi Remember/Archive 2008-Aug 2009,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

  • Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
  • It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
  • Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
  • I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
2. If you're a law student,
(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 06:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

in light of the contention ...

edit

In light of the contention surrounding Scite / ussc , I wonder if you'd take a look at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_U.S._Supreme_Court_cases#Recent proposed changes to the outline, where I've proposed creating a styleguide task force under WP:LAW so that these discussions are inclusive of all the law-related viewpoints, and not just the Americans/interested in the Supreme Court.

Redirects

edit

Certainly a notable event to constitute its own article, but it contains far more info in the main article. The idea should be that that section is expanded until too big and then split into that article. The way it was done gave me no reason to believe who started it was going to expand it. Add information to the main article first, split later when there is enough info for a decent article I say.. Ooh, did you intend writing an article on it?
