Hi! I thunk you misunderstood my edits. They were not vandalism. In the text of the article there is a reference to a relationship with actress Tallulah Bankhead, so I simply added the category "Bisexual actors" as a logical extension. Nonetheless I have not re-added it given your opposition, but have made other edits to improve the article overall. Please feel free to review and make any corrections you see fit.

Alenka Zupančič

edit

Hi. I am the one who changed the term "Slovenian school of psychanalysis" to "Ljubljana school of psychoanalysis" in Alenka Zupančič's article. It's no vandalism, "Ljubljana school" is actually the correct term, beacuse it's identified with scholars who either taught at the University of Ljubljana in the 1980's or collaborated to the Ljubljana-based psychoanalytic review "Problemi". I'm planning to write an article on the "Ljubljana school", so please leave it this way (although I know "Slovenian school" is also used among non-Slovenians).

Judith Light article - not vandalism!

edit

Hi. Sorry but I'm confused how you could say that my edits to the Judith Light article were vandalism. I appreciate your help and desire to make it a good article, but you can't just throw around the word "vandalism". Vandalism to the article would be if I said "Judith Light is a bitch" or something like that. Also, judging from past comments you seem to be accusing people of vandalism a lot. Editing an article is not necessarily vandalism per se:

I may have tweaked some wording here and there, but I mostly added info, except for the Ugly Betty paragraph which was far too long given that Claire Meade already has her own article.

I made the following changes, which I think are helpful.

  • 1. I added what college she went to and her start in theatre.
  • 2. The Claire Meade paragraph was FAR too long. I edited it down because there is already an entire article on Claire Meade. Why duplicate all of the info?????
  • 3. I added the fact that she starred in the sitcom Phenom. How is adding info vandalism?
  • 4. I added more information about her LGBT charity work. How is that vandalism?
  • 5. I removed the "unconfirmed rumors" section about her hosting a reality show because an "unconfirmed rumor" is not factual and shouldn't be on there until proven true.

Thanks very much! If there is a specific change I made that you take issue with please let's discuss it. I'd appreciate it. --Mezaco 18:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • My apologies for the misunderstanding. I do not recall the reasons I had to reverting your changes at the time. My guess is I had thought the removal of the large amounts of information, which you say was redundant along the lines of section blanking. My apologies once again.--ZeWrestler Talk 18:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
I appreciate your response, no offense taken. Believe me, I would only ever remove large sections of information on rare occasion, because I've had it done to me in the past and it sucks! --Mezaco 19:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

1080 Manual

edit

Hey. This is not a guarantee, but I have a copy of the game at my parents house. I'm going to visit them thanksgiving weekend. If I can locate the manual, what do you need from it?--ZeWrestler Talk 06:22, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

As much as you can give me of the book citation (publisher, title etc.). The sentence I particularly wanted to be citied was: "If the damage meter fills completely or if the player loses to a competitor, the player must retire and restart the race.". If you get a chance, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll find a way to work in the article, as most of gameplay can be citied with it.--CM (talk) 23:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh a copyeditor changed up the article a bit, but I still have some ideas where I can put the manual reference. How did you even find out?--CM (talk) 23:49, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Chocobo's Dungeon

edit

I'm up for the merger thing, but just need to find out before we merge it - is the title Labyrinth of Forgotten Time already the official English title, and is there an official statement about it? Because if that's not an official title I'm afraid we'll have to go with the Japanese title for awhile and not merge just yet. — Blue 07:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

So an official English name for it still does not exist? I think we need to redirect it, just like we did on Chiisa na Ōsama to Yakusoku no Kuni Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. — Blue 05:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Syracuse area historic places

edit

Hi ZeWrestler -- Thanks so much for adding photos to the new articles on Crouse College, Syracuse University and Hall of Languages, Syracuse University, and for doing up the list of SU buildings beforehand and announcing that new article in the Syracuse Wikiproject. I was beginning to think that no one else would show any activity there! But i am hopeful that with recent activity now showing, others will find their way to the wikiproject again. Anyhow, i have taken photos of a bunch of Syracuse area historic sites and will be adding more articles regularly from now on. I didn't get pics of any SU area buildings though, so i am glad you have added those.

There's one more SU-associated building on the National Register, by the way: the Pi Chapter House of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, at 101 College Place. I wonder, do you have or can you get a photo of that, too?

If you're interested in adding to the article text, too, there are on-line sources available to draw from. In particular, from an email that the NRHP sent me: "The New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has digitized their records and put them online. The SHPO is the state run agency that oversees historic preservation efforts in their state. They are also the agency that sends documentation on properties to [the NRHP] for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. You can use their database at: http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/ To use: Click on "basic criteria " fill in the property name In the pop up window, choose the county click on the 'results' tab in the upper right Then click on either the text or photographs to view them. The website prefers the Internet Explorer browser over others."

  • Your welcome for the help with those articles. I do have to give credit where credit is due though. I created the initial article List of Syracuse University buildings because I was in the process of creating Template:Syracuse University and saw the need for the article. I hadn't put the list of building in the article at that point yet, when I was ready to add them, I discovered an annon user beat me to it. As for the pictures, I did not add them to wikipedia, they were already in the Syracuse University article. Since they were all public domain, I created a page on the wikicommons, Syracuse University, and started transferring all the pictures there that were public domain. When you created the articles on Crouse College, Syracuse University and Hall of Languages, Syracuse University, I saw the need for the images, so I went to the commons and retrieved them for the article. I am glad that these contributions were useful. I will continue to do what I can for the SU articles on wikipedia, including retrieving images. I will be returning to 'cuse in January, so I will attempt to take the pictures you requested then, and many more of places around the campus. This includes the Psi Upsilon fraternity. Its actually located right outside where I have classes. The buildings list is going to need a lot of work, to bring up to par with other building lists. (See the articles talk page for more information I wrote about it). I agree with you about the Syracuse Project. Hopefully, this latest set of contributions stirs some activity from users on their wikiproject. Anyway, thanks again for the message, if you have any other requests of me, feel free to ask. I also like contributing to wikipedia as much as I can. --ZeWrestler Talk 18:17, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
    • Got your message and the further note about SU being a wikipedia university collaboration of the fortnight. Did not know of that, but am now adding something about the historic buildings on the SU campus, to the SU article, to try to help. And creating the 3rd article. Have more material to add to all 3 of the articles on SU historic buildings. Thanks. doncram (talk) 18:46, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

re:manual

edit

You found it? Wow, thanks; I didn't think there were any left on Earth. Essentially, I was looking into using it for two main parts in gameplay.

The player controls a snowboarder in one of six modes. 1080° has two trick modes (trick attack and contest), three race modes (race, time attack, and multiplayer), a training mode, and an options mode. The objective of the game is either to arrive quickly at a level's finish line or to receive maximum points for trick combinations.

and

match race mode, the player competes in a series of races against AI-controlled snowboarders. The game times the player throughout the level, and players receive a life meter which fills if the snowboarder falls down or is knocked over. The difficulty level in match races can be set to easy, medium, or hard, adjusting the complexity and number of races. If the player fails at defeating an AI competitor, they must retire. The player is given three chances to beat the computer before the game is over.

You probably could just <ref name="manual"> it and drop it a couple times in each paragraph. I would be more than happy to put on my own if you don't want to, I'd just need author, publisher, etc. to fill all the fields. I don't know what your preference is; its up to you.--CM (talk) 22:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • I've made the changes you wanted, I didn't mark it as <ref name="manual" /> like you instructed. I wasn't exactly sure how that works. I have put in all the information I could put into the template from the manual and I've marked page numbers in the manual where the sections in the game are discussed. If there is anything else I can do, let me know. --ZeWrestler Talk 17:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Looks perfect; I'm sorry I didn't know they would all be on different pages, making them all different references. I apologize for the confusion. Looks top notch, thanks (still waiting on other people before I can move forward).--CM (talk) 18:06, 25 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Crouse College

edit

Nice catch about recently added material on Crouse College, Syracuse University. I wasn't watching the page, have now added it to my watch list. I agree that the long passage added was not strictly proper. Another editor jumped in and removed it, indicating probably copyright violation, which was fair and reasonable to do, in general. However, I just tried editing the page to include some of the material. See the article and my comment on its Talk page now. I am trying to be nice to someone who is probably a new user (not logged in, but I wonder if perhaps is the user, VPAcommunications, who created the now-linked article on the music school). There's a slogan in wikipedia, "Don't bite the newbies" or something like that. I tried to leave a friendly-enough note on VPAcommunications talk page, too.

Syracuse University buildings / Comstock buildings

edit

Hi ZeWrestler -- Thanks for keeping me informed, sorry not to have gotten back to you promptly. Thanks so much for adding pics on the Crouse College and Hall of Languages articles, and now also your development of the SU buildings. I was very pleased and flattered with your "ask and ye shall receive" quip a few days ago, it made me laugh out loud. :0) I can't actually look at the SU buildings article right now, i need to run, but I wanted to at least let you know that I will. In particular, I have a big text source explaining about the Comstock buildings, which seems to cover a huge amount of the main SU buildings, probably many that you are working on now. I mean to create/make a major addition to the NRHP Comstock buildings article. I may have been intending to do too much, I suppose I may now cut and do a shorter version and get it there for you to work with sooner, for you to decide what you want to merge or keep in the SU article itself, the SU buildings article, the Comstock NRHP article. Keep up the great work! cheers, doncram (talk) 16:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Okay, i added some material to the Syracuse University-Comstock Tract Buildings and some of the same to List of Syracuse University Buildings. 15 of the SU buildings are Comstock Tract ones, i.e. on the old campus and included in the NRHP designation. An idea: you could divide your List of SU buildings into 2 tables, one on the Comstock Tract Buildings and one on the others. Not sure if that is best or not, just an idea. Oh, to read the Comstock Tract documents, follow the link to the New York State office page, let it load Javascript, bring up the article in a weird screen. Then, what I do to read it is that i hit the Print button it makes available, and I print a copy of the document to a PDF file, and I save and read that. Do you have a PDF writer? I use the free Pdf writer software from software995.com. Pls. let me know if I can further help you in getting access to the Comstock NRHP text and photos documents. Nice work on the List article, finding good examples and making a great start already. Cheers, doncram (talk) 10:12, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Hi, i noticed your addition of the Chancellor's Residence photo to the list of SU buildings, and that you are trying somewhat half-heartedly to make a fair use argument for your having uploaded an apparently non-free image. I can't really say about whether the fair use argument is valid or not, and I certainly am not going to put it up for deletion, but my guess is that someone else will get around to that. My question to you is why bother? Why invest any time with questionable stuff. Why not take a new pic? I think it just gets you into trouble with SU, also, if sometime later you want to ask them for access to private areas to take pictures, or if you want to ask them for their agreement for you to post pictures of artworks and plaques that are copyrighted. (See recent discussion and draft letter / permission form about copyrighted artworks, in Talk page of WP:NRHP.) But, I do admire that you keep plugging along with the list of SU buildings, it is coming along.  :) Cheers, doncram (talk) 04:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
I got your followup, with link to list of Chancellors article illustrated by that pic. I had misunderstood, I thought you had just uploaded the pic after finding it on some SU page. I did not catch that it was someone else who had uploaded it already and made a fair use argument. Never mind.... :) doncram (talk) 15:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Mmx1robots.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mmx1robots.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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.

Missing image Image:Desmodus.jpg

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Desmodus.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Desmodus.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:Desmodus.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.

Fair use rationale for Image:The Legend of Dragoon gamecover.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The Legend of Dragoon gamecover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Re: Rock cycle

edit

Hi ZeWrestler,
OK I've had a look at the pic - I think the easiest way (and the way which will have the best outcome IMO) is if you could email me the original PSD file with layers. Because one of the problems you've got is the aliasing/artefacting on the pink arrows being exacerbated by the stroke - if I had the original I could fix the pink arrows and the stroke would fix itself.

Thanks for uploading Image:Vision quest.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.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Scryed_vol6_dvd_cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Estabrook House pic etc

edit

Hi-- Thanks for taking and uploading the Estabrook House pic to its article and to the List of Registered Historic Places in Onondaga County, New York article. It's a nice addition. I should get around to uploading more of the pics I took of other Ward Wellington Ward houses in that list, too. I have been contributing more effort on List of National Historic Landmarks in New York and Historic preservation in New York articles. It's good that you bring me back, though! Cheers, doncram (talk) 04:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, got ur question about submitting for Featured Picture. Actually i don't know anything about Featured Pictures. I am aware there is a picture of the year at WikiMedia Commons, which is a pretty spectacular picture. So I can't advise on the process at all or on your chances really, but I could imagine others not being very appreciative of the photo because it is "just" a picture of a house. It serves admirably as illustrating the Estabrook House article, but that article is not well developed and probably few of those involved in any wikipedia Featured Picture selection process will be very big fans, I suspect. But you would learn about the Featured Pic process for sure, if you submitted it. I myself have never submitted an article for Featured Article, but I have learned a lot about the FA process, first, and am now about ready to submit the List of National Historic Landmarks in New York article for Featured List. I suggest browsing any Featured Pic criteria articles you can find, before submitting, if u want to reduce ur chances of disappointment. But, no harm done either way. Maybe, just be bold! cheers, doncram (talk) 02:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Uggh, the Hoople pic is like a police lineup mug shot!  :(. I like the Whitman school pic, though.  :) I know too well that sunny days in Syracuse are rare, and then further it is an issue to catch a building at the right time during a sunny day. Maybe it is honest to show dark pics of ugly buildings, how they usually look in Syracuse. :( Oh well. :) doncram (talk) 02:18, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Template:USSCOTWnom

edit

A tag has been placed on Template:USSCOTWnom requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

  Thanks for uploading Image:Insaniquarium titleScreen.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Thanks for uploading Image:Captaintitle.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Syracuse wikipedia heating up...

edit

Hey, did you notice the Syracuse wikipedia project grew 50% in one day recently, when Lvklock joined? That makes 3 active members now....  :) Seriously, Lvklock has done a bunch of historic site pics and articles in List of Registered Historic Places in Onondaga County, New York and in nearby counties. Perhaps we could have a Syracuse wikiproject meetup some day, i will certainly try to organize that if/when i will be in town.

Also, i think i have been delinquent in getting back to you about Crouse College, Syracuse University, about which you mentioned on March 30 that you had a bunch of pics to review. Like someone else said, u could just upload all the better ones, and put them into a commons gallery, and put a link to the commons gallery from the article. But from the talk that i was just archiving, and my digging out your email message to me as well, it seemed i was to receive them by email and comment, which i would be happy to do. Sorry again for delay. Hope you are well. Cheers, doncram (talk) 16:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you're referring to this revision], it seems to be both very POV and to use unencyclopedic language and even use the word "I".
