User talk:Big Bird/January 2009 - December 2009

Re your note

Thanks for your message. The reason I went for semi- rather than full-protection is that there has been a long-running series of edit-warring accounts editing on this and related articles, most (if not all) of which have now been blocked (see the logs at the bottom of the WP:ARBMAC page). The pattern of these users has often been to instantly return under a sock account or as an IP to continue their disruptive POV-pushing. I'm reluctant to full-protect an article whilst other established editors are actively working on it, but neither should those editors have to put up with endless disruption from new and/or anon accounts.

I can appreciate your concern that semi-protection could give one 'side' an advantage in an apparent content dispute, but I've become wary about treating articles under the ARBMAC provisions in the same way as I would elsewhere on Wikipedia. I think we sometimes do ourselves no favours by extending WP:AGF too far - on these articles, it seems that all too often POV pushing is mischaracterised as a 'content dispute', and thus we prolong the agony while every good-faith editor feels obliged to jump through all the dispute resolution hoops... all the while knowing nothing will be resolved because they're not dealing with someone capable of, or even interested in, working within Wikipedia policy.

My aim is to always do the minimum required to prevent disruption, so for me full protection is very much a last resort. Now that new/anon accounts are prevented from edit-warring on the article, I will be watching its other editors closely. These all know better, so I'm quite prepared to block should disruption continue, and I hope genuine talk-page discussion will ensue if there really are content issues that need examnining. I hope I've clarified the reasons for my decision, although if you're still unsatisfied you're very welcome to take your concerns up on WP:ANI, or to request a page protection review at WP:RFPP. All the best, EyeSerene^talk 15:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your further explanation. It's now clear to me that I've not acted in the best interests of article quality and editor consensus, so I've amended the protection as you requested and left a note on the article talk page. My apologies, and I appreciate the time you've taken to set things right. All the best, EyeSerene^talk 17:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello... I'm currently having some trouble concerning the White Brazilians article, since a guy called Opinoso seems to believe being the owner of the article, and systematically reverts my edits... Would you be willing to take a look there and let me know what you think about it?

Bollywood

Hi. Thanks for your words. I actually started 350 articles in one go and have gradually worked it down to 65 its very monotonous work trust me. I have deleted any which I believe weren't notable enough or couldn't be expanded. I promise I'll resume one sorting the others in due course. Its just it was a priority to get the articles red linked. Should take me few hours longer but give me till the end of Feb, things are tough at the mo but I will have that as a deadline, thanks for speaking to me and not prodding them, Regards Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 19:03, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I guess it's enough for me to know that you plan on expanding them, whenever that may be. My only concern was that you forgot all about those stubettes but it looks as though you didn't. If I start feeling motivated enough, I may do something to expand a few of them. Anyways, good luck with all your monotonous work and good luck with everything else in general.

Peace! Big Bird (talk • contribs) 19:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Vettaikkaaran (2009 film)

Hi, you have recently posted on my talk page about the deletion of the article mentioned above. Please undo the deletion because the film's shooting schedules have been made up and is due for filming next month. Also I was going to include more info about its notability, however it had already been deleted before I could return to add more info. Please undo the deletion so I can give more info about the film. --Eelam StyleZ (talk) 23:31, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: Vettaikaaran

I'm not completely satisfied with the article passing WP:NFF, but with production due to commence this month I was prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt. I wouldn't object to another AfD, though. The current article was written in the author's userspace and it's been moved across to mainspace prematurely, IMHO. PC78 (talk) 14:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Template 10

Hi. Thanks for your courteous note. I think there's room for an exception, because the other redirect templates include a wikilinked term, which stands out in blue. This doesn't, and I thought the bold would make it more consistent, not less. More importantly, the bewildered reader wondering why he's arrived at British Standards instead of the Kitemark he searched for, is more likely to notice why he's been dumped in the article he finds himself reading... What do you think? --Dweller (talk) 09:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

{{Redirect10}} is exactly the same as {{Redirect8}} except that R8 takes two parameters whereas R10 takes one parameter. See Fremantle Harbour for an example of text displayed using R8. The parameter being the search term, I totally agree that it's appropriate for it to be bolded within the body of the article as you've done at British Standards but I don't know if bold text should be included in a hatnote. Even WP:HAT only calls for hatnotes to be "italicized and indented" and defends the use of templates so as to allow "the form and structure to change uniformly over time." I think changing one of these templates and leaving the rest slightly different gets away from the prescribed uniformity.

As far as bold text being more noticeable than quotation marks, I think you're absolutely right. It might take a reader a few seconds of head-scratching and going "WTF?" to realize what's going on after they type in "Kitemark" and get redirected to British Standards. But I think that article is an exception because everyone typing in "Fremantle Ports" or "Fremantle Port Authority" is expecting to find Fremantle Harbour whereas not everyone typing in "Kitemark" may be looking for British Standards.

So you do bring up a valid point. I guess I agree that "Kitemark" is OK to be bold in the above article and I would agree that it's OK for all of the RedirectX templates to be changed so that they display the search parameter in bold text but I'm kind of hesitant to change the one template and leave the rest as they are. Let me know what you think :) Big Bird (talk • contribs) 14:14, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Žižek!

Alex, I am a bit confused as to why you changed the name of the Žižek! article. It was fine, and more accurate, the way it was before. I reverted the name change, and Zizek! now redirects to Žižek! What was your reasoning for moving the article? I apologize for undoing your modification, and will be happy to continue the discussion. --N-k, 20:25, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Petar Brzica - see also

I reverted your change to the article, though not because I necessarily disagree. The "see also" section is designed for articles not linked in the article. With an article as short as this one, linking to two articles already linked in the main body is unnecessary. Finally, "see also" sections aren't a requirement. If you feel that those two articles are the only ones appropriate, just remove the section altogether. AniMate^talk 16:17, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your note! I won't revert you, that's fine. The "See also" section on that article was introduced by the anonymous Verizon IP editor from the Washington D.C. area; this is the banned user to whom Rjecina refers when speaking of User:Velebit etc. He introduced the same "see also" section in many semi-related articles and edit warred with others over it. Partially because of this, Fut. Perf. indefinitely semi-protected about a dozen or so Ustashe-related articles. My edit was meant to remove the links to unrelated articles from the "see also" section without prejudice to articles that are related but already linked. If you believe the section is better off the way it is now rather than after my edit, I have no objection.

Peace! Big Bird (talk • contribs) 16:32, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not even sure the section is needed. If users aren't able to show a clear and demonstrative link between the subject and the items in the "see also" section, I see no reason to include the section. As it stands, it feels like they're being filled just so they can be there. AniMate^talk 16:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree and that's sort of the direction in which I was headed when I trimmed the section. I removed all but two items and those two remaining items, I thought, linked to articles that have a demonstrative link to Petar Brzica. Granted, they were redundant due to being linked earlier in the article but I didn't delete the whole section because I didn't want to appear as though I was against any kind of cross-referencing of this article to other possibly related topics. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 17:05, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Removal of comment

Though it may not seem directly related to article approval, it could be seen as such as well. For example, it could be mentioned in the article as a similar example, since almost all factors are identical (seceding a part of country, made by a world power for its own use, without the country's agreement, without UN or similar organization approval, related to a war etc.). But never mind, if you think it can't stay, I won't argue about it. Thank you for your notification. Sincerely, --Дарко Максимовић (talk) 19:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your courteous reply!

What you just said above is soapboxing and original research and, yes, unrelated to the article. Yes, it may have a real-world connection to the subject of the article but it's not directly related to the Wikipedia article itself.

Thanks again for replying.

john malkovich

I wrote the little comment in the John Malkovich article about his missing tv credit of 'Santa Bear'. As I am new to wiki and the internet, I dont know how to edit the actual article or the the filmography table. I am hoping someone with experiance will do it. I included a link from the tv production company to prove it. I actually have a copy of the tv cartoon film on videotape. It was lousy (I thought) but important to fans of each actor. I am a big fan of Nikola Tesla. I see you are from his native country, so I salute you!!! (although I am American)

Why aren't you an admin yet?

With over 12,000 edits and eloquence like this, why haven't you gone for WP:RFA?--Aervanath (talk) 17:32, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words and your vote of confidence. In all honesty, I've never really given RFA much thought even though I've already been asked about it. I'm also not quite certain that I've accomplished enough on this project to be given the ability to overrule and block those people that are more accomplished and more eloquent than myself. I've always done the vast majority of my editing from work during down time but I work for an insurance company and the last few months have been just about the busiest few months that the insurance industry has ever experienced so down time does not exist for me currently. This is evident in my contributions which have slowed down noticeably during the same time period. Once things get back to normal in the industry and I'm able to devote more time to the project, I'll give adminship some thought but I still don't want to make any promises.

Thanks again!

I'm sure he's lurking somewhere as an anonymous IP waiting for his favourite articles to be unprotected which, ironically enough, were protected partially because of him anyways. I hope that his home country one day abolishes internet censorship so that his stable IP gets indeffed. It's tiring, really, chasing around after someone who really enjoys operating in an environment where they're not welcome anymore at all.

Thanks for the heads-up on that one. I corrected the spelling mistake and I may take a minute or two to explain to the editor why what he's doing is not helpful. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 13:31, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
