Reminds me of the Australian alderman who got some news coverage for someone spilling ketchup on his shirt in a suffle and who then vociferously defended his right to an entry in Wikipedia. WP:LOCAL needs to be tightened up to curb this, right now it's a bunch of waffle. Sorry I missed your RfB & didn't get a chance to slip a support in.

Messianic "Halakha" etc?

Hi Crz: On 25 October 2006 [1], User:Inigmatus moved Messianic religious practices to Messianic Halakha with the lame excuse "moved Messianic religious practices to Messianic Halakha: As discussed in prior archives, with the creation of the new Messianic Judaism template, this page can now be targeted for clean up: This entire page is better split into two articles" [2] thus opening up a whole new can of worms. This fits into this new pattern of vigorous pro-Messianic Judaism POV edits, moves, categories, projects and articles, basically without warning and ignoring the consensus that has been maintained for some time. The main problem is that the over-all thrust of the recent pro-Messianic Judaism activity is to mimic and and get as close as possible to any and all Judaism, particularly Orthodox Judaism, articles and efforts, so that anyone looking at the one will arrive at the other by sheer proximity and similarity. And I repeat this again, because of its relevance: *User:Inigmatus (contributions), self-described as "A mystery user with a point to be made" (wouldn't that make anything he does as automatically POV?), has added a number of features to Messianic Judaism. A month ago he evidently plagiarized [3] the Template:Judaism and created Template Messianic Judaism based on it. He also created Wikipedia:WikiProject Messianic Judaism also obviously plagiarizing the Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism page. This may mislead unsuspecting readers and there ought to be some warning or guidance about this. I would suggest that a new template be develpoed that would be placed on Messianic Judaism pages with a "Note: This article deals with Messianic Judaism. It does not represent normative Judaism and does not have any connection with, or official recognition from, any Jewish denominations." IZAK 03:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome the NotJudaism template

Hi: In view of the above, please see the new {{NotJudaism}} template:

Note: The subject of this article or section does not represent normative Judaism and does not have any connection with, or official recognition from, any Jewish denominations.

Feel free to use it where applicable. Thanks. IZAK 05:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wait half a second

How is imitating templates, coding, organization, etc. and from other portions of Wikipedia harmful? If something works in one area, you shouldn't feel attacked because someone else decided to use "your" code. It's not plagiarism, all Wikipedia code is a shared resource. Am I missing something here? The comment about "the real problem" sounds like WP:OWN crossed with paranoia.

Also IZAK, your template more than likely violates Wikipedia:No disclaimer templates. --tjstrf talk 05:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AFD for Gladys the Swiss Dairy Cow

Good Morning.

I'd be grateful for your help. I posted a resposne to your original AFD sentence. The topic is up for vigorous debate, but the edit you made to the original sentence is troubling. Would you address the comment or educate me further please.

Here's the text:

I'm not sure I understand what a single purpose account is my friend? Are you stating that my contribution is limited to this article - if so that is inaccurate. I have authored another wholly unrelated article on IT, and have begun to create wildlilfe related content to add to the American Woodcock, Ring Necked Duck, and Green Winged Teal articles, specifically regarding their flight behaviors I think your edit may have been made because ( as a new user) I received come advice to add this a copy of this article to my user page as a protection against deletion and followed some cut and paste instructions provived by another wiki-zen

Would you please take one of the follwing two actions:

1) Educate me further on the SPA ? or how to fix my user page

OR

2) Withdraw the comment —The preceding unsigned comment was added by James.lebinski (talk • contribs) 2006-11-28 17:44:33 (UTC)

It's not prohibited. It's a factor in evaluating the intentions of the writer. You know that very well. - crz crztalk 15:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the prompt response. However, is doesnlt seem to address the question at hand.

Put another way:

1) I previously authored a wholly unrelated wiki-article on IT

2) Later I created the disputed content for a separate acricle

3) Shortly thereafter, I copied and pasted the text of the disupted article to my user page based on an e-mail I received from a wiki-zen advising me to do so

4) Still later you edited your nom to add the SPA comment, which seems to be an attempt to further support the AFD by adding this apparently negative connotation

Now having said all that ( and I am very new to wiki so you shouldn't asssume that I know more than I'm currently blustering about on the AFD page)

If I have two articles on different topics Why Am I an SPA? - or are you mistaken? ( Sidebar: Even if I am an SPA why is that Bad?)

If adding the cut and paste to my user page was the offense - Can i just erase the user page to stop that apparently begative connotation that inaccurately ( my opinion there) supports COI?

Your advice would be gratefully revceived, and if justified, your clarification or withdrawal of the negative connotation of the SPA would be apprcited.--James.lebinski 19:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The AFD was closed, but when you have a moment I'd still be grateful for your response.--James.lebinski 15:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RFUS

I responded at image RF talk as the challenge seems to me self-evident enough and I don't see the need for this particular image. As for the Democracy Now pic, the image seems to me OK to use but to address your challenge, I need to know what exactly you dispute. Please give an explanation at the Image_talk:Norman finkelstein democracynow.jpg on how exactly you challenge the image's usability. Similarly to the tl:NPOV, tl:DISPUTED tags in the article's space, the disputed tag in the image space are helpful only when the editor supplies them with the grounds of the challenge. Please always provide an explanation on how the usage of the particular image seems improper in the particular article. The last part is important, because all fairuse claims are article-specific.

On a side note, would you prefer to have an allowed by policy image of this person or not? In the former case, please feel free to give a better and convincing rationale for the Democrasy now rather than demand that I come up with the wording. Perhaps, you could do that better than me. It's OK with me in either case. As long you elaborate your concerns at the image talk page, I will do my best to address them.

Finally, as a personal favor, please avoid using generic templates if you have anything to say to me on my talk. Many users see such templates only proper when addressing newbies and take their impolliteness rather close to heart. I also find being addressed impersonally and with the patronizing templates rather annoying. Of course, I cannot demand that but I thought I can still ask it leaving it up to you to decide on this in the future communications.

Cheers, --Irpen 06:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I did not intend to patronize. You know it's not personal - and some people prefer the standard template - it just makes precisely clear what's going on. The policy position as to the image is that, unless the person is dead/incarcerated/otherwise extremely unavailable, the fair use of copyrighted images is not permitted by Jimbo's dictat, even while it is permitted by U.S. copyright law. This has apparently always been on the books and began to be enforced about two months ago. We've gotten rid of a lot of those images by now - at least twenty of my uploading - and are cleaning up still. So yes, w/o picture is better, until someone emails Finkelstein and asks him to release one into PD or snaps one of him himself. Or you can use his PD federal booking photo when the Army puts him away to Guantanamo hehehehe :) - crz crztalk 07:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem and thank you for a friendly response. I respectfully disagree with such an interpretation of the policy. FUC#1 says: "would adequately give the same information" (That is of course within the article's context.) as Fairuse claim are always article specific.

What is meant by "replaceable" is a matter of discussion. How difficult would be to obtain such image? How adequately such image would illustrate the specific article illustrated by the fairuse one? No all-universal statements may be possibly made and certainly no statement like "all living people can diqualify". The issue is not only their accessability but how well the image that can reasonably be expected to be taken would apply to the article and whether it would replace the available FU image adequately. This is addressed by the rationale that should me added to each an every Fairuse image and the specific articles where they are used. The decision should be by the community, based on policy applied to each spefic case depending on its merit.

So, please explain at talk, how you see the image not usable under the fairuse. This is similar to explaining the tl:NPOV added to the article. tl:NPOV also challenges the policy compliance and requires an explanation from the tagger.

Cheers, --Irpen 09:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hi.. the article Mission Accomplished (novel) that you recently deleted was bundled with an article on the author, Patrick S.

Thanks, Bobanny 19:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC) P.S. there's also a redirect page that should probably go too: Mission Accomplished (Novel). Bobanny 20:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Jodirell.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jodirell.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 21:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not being any more stubborn than anyone else editing the page. In the absence of consensus, shouldn't the page stay at the version before the changes? I have just been trying to do that until consensus is reached - my edits have all been attempting to restore the page to the version before the revert war.

Fair use images

Thank you for notifying me of my mistake regarding the fair use rationales for these images. The problem I see is that I did not make it clear in the rationale that these are to be used until a free use image can be found. To have these images deleted now would not be good, however once free use alternatives are available this would be fine. Thanks for brining this to my attention. I am currently sorting through all images I have uploaded to fix the fair use rationales. Wikiwoohoo 17:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Surely this would not mean that all images currently of living television presenters will be deleted unless free use versions are made available. I hope it does not. Wikiwoohoo 17:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It just seems a shame that all the images will be removed and mean many articles are left unable to illustrate the person of whom they concern. There are more than likely many hundred such images on Wikipedia. Could these images not be left until better versions are found? Wikiwoohoo 18:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

None of the articles I edit have been subject to this change in policy. I have not seen any other user mentioning this change in policy either. My apologies. I still feel this is a great shame, for the sake of the article's content now in the very least. Wikiwoohoo 18:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However, I will begin contacting presenters directly soon to ask for images that can be used within articles under the free use claim. Wikiwoohoo 18:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I eagerly await your blocking of edit warriors on more than one side of this edit war. As there was no consensus at all on what the page should say, both sides must be considered equally guilty. Palmiro | Talk 22:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see, from 12 November when the current spate of edit-warring started I count 15 reverts by the user you blocked and 13 by User:Amoruso. Hardly such a qualitiative difference as to merit a 5-day block for one and a pat on the back for the other. I'm not impressed, to be blunt. Palmiro | Talk 23:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You should have read the talk page from the top, it would have made it clear to you that there was no consensus and that the status quo, in so far as there was one, was simply the result of one side - not Amoruso's side - deciding not to engage in long-term edit warring. I'm not aware that protecting status quos of that sort is considered a mitigating circumstance in administrative responses to edit wars.

Question for ya

User:Dtcdthingy moved The Jackal to The Jackal (film) (well, actually, he moved it to The Jackal (movie) and then I moved it to the MoS location) so he could turn "The Jackal" into a redirect to "Jackal (disambiguation)". It seems odd to me, since there's really only one notable use for "The Jackal", but more importantly there are a ton of entertainment articles that are now being redirected to a disambiguation page about Jackals.

In my opinion, it should be moved back. But it's also okay with me if it stays at the (film) location, as long as the other articles are fixed to point to the right place. I don't mind fixing the other articles myself, but I don't want to bother if the whole thing is going to end up back at "The Jackal". Do you think anyone will have a problem with it being at "The Jackal (film)"? In the meantime, I've changed "The Jackal" to redirect to "The Jackal (film)" so the article links will still work.

RfA's

Hello, crz! I just wanted to ask you a question about your RfA voting. Since I've been participating in the RfA process, I can't ever recall seeing you actually support someone. Do you have a standard at all? (if you do, then I must say it has to be pretty high :-]) Why are you so strict? After all, as Jimbo has said, "this should be no big deal." As far as I know (and please, correct me if I'm wrong), there's no sysop-action that can't be easily reverted. Wikipedia doesn't nearly have enough administrators, and in my opinion, you're voting against a lot of good candidates.

Happy editing! -- P.B. Pilh e t / Talk 03:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Smile at others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Guess I never saw those particular RfA's. Oh well, my bad :-) By the way, you forgot to count Chrislk02's RfA, in which you voted oppose not too long ago.

While I'm at it, I have an interest in becoming a sysop. My first attempt at an RfA failed (obviously, I was way too new), and I'm now on editor review to see where I can improve (like checking my information before accusing someone of being an oppose-freak :-]). Do you have any advice? Happy editing! -- P.B. Pilh e t / Talk 23:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please undelete Bisaya Magasin

Friend,

I noticed that Bisaya Magasin has been deleted (although BISAYA Magasin is still there). I redirected the first article to the second, thinking that the second contains the encyclopedic content. (In the Cebuano Wikipedia, the second title is the main article, while the other is a redirect.) I had explicitly stated in the talk page of the article that I would like another week or two to work on the page. However, it was deleted without even a debate. You can see in the Cebuano version of the same article that there is a lot about it. Please undelete it. Thanks. --Bentong Isles 12:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll fix it as soon as I can find the time. BTW, is the Cultural Center of the Philipines' Encyclopedia of Philippine Arts an acceptable reference? Unfortunately the literatures of regional languages in the Philippines still lack a comprehensive documentation at this time. Even Bisaya Magasin itself has only about three paragraphs in it -- I knew more being a friend of the current associate editor. Just a point of clarification, shall I limit what I write in to what is given in the CCP encyclopedia, or can I write other things which I new personally? Thanks!--Bentong Isles 12:43, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks. ;) --Bentong Isles 13:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Advice for external links and a proposal for mathematical typing

Hi, I need a little advice about links to "external" encyclopedias. I found some very good voices on Planethmath.org and the Springer-Verlag Online Encyclopaedia (formerly Kluwer) and I have included it in Wiki math voices I have edited as external links: did I infringed some copyright? The access to those resources is free, but I don't want to advertise nor damage someone else.

Next I would like to propose the adoption of a particular capital font for LaTeX: the Raph Smith's Formal Script mathrsfs. It would be very useful in a variety of formulas. Thank you. :) Daniele.tampieri 22:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RFA Comment

Hey, I would like to thank you for your criticism on my soon to be ofer rfa. I was nominated sooner than expected, however decided to go through with it instead of decline! It appears as though the consensus is that I need to become a little more experienced. Without criticisms in the oppose column, I would not know which areas that I need to improve on! Your comments about my infamiliarity with WP:FU were true. I am always open for ways to improve myself as a human being and as a Wikipedeian! Thank you for putting the effort forward when determining whether to vote Support or Oppose, as you no doubt have nothing personal against anybody in the votes, just looking out for Wikipedia! If you see me going down the wrong trail in the future, or have any recomendations on how I can become a better/more experienced wikipedia, please feel free to let me know on my talk page! THanks again -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 00:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In all honsety, I did not interpret you as being an asshole! Just a very valuable wikipedia whose opinion appears to be fairly respected among other experienced Wikipedians. I look at it as there is a lot I should be able to learn from you. When it comes to stuff, especially FU violations, you gotta be firm and I respect that! No hard feelings at all from my side of things. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 00:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to add that my comments on the RfA (right at the very outset) were borne of frustration and a desire to "protect" the person I nominated (I'm sure you know where I'm coming from with that!) and hope that they were not interpreted by you (although it was by a couple of others) as an "attack". I'd seen Chris around a lot and having been hovvering around the RfA pages for a few days beforehand, I thought he was ideal material – I still have absolutely no doubt about this, but time will tell – or should I say Time will tell. :) Anyways, it was a blunt comment and sometimes we are all guilty of those. Onwards and upwards, eh? Bubba hot ep 08:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA Thanks

I don't like spamming pages, but I thought I'd give a little note to my co-nominators. User:Amalas/RfA Thanks. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 14:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

B&H

The only way I could think of would be to find something in the DV Info Net forums and link to it. You're not going to find journalism or reporting about the phenomenon, would be my guess. I just know because I've been to a lot of video trade shows. Robert K S 11:43, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would a picture of their "Sorry, we're closed for the Sabbath" sign on a booth from one of the trade shows be considered original research? Robert K S 12:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear CRZ, Thanks you very much for your assistance, it really is much appreciated.

Over the next few days I will be compiling information for you in their original form, so that you won’t have to do any extra research trying to track down the articles.

I hope to have the information for you before shabbos.

Thanks again for the help, Moshe Rosen

P.S. Yes there are plenty of articles about B&H. :) 14:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Ian

I don't know what you mean by "as well" since I haven't lost on Jeopardy!--yet! (Or--maybe you have?) But yes, Ian is wonderful, he's a valued member of the Archive team. Robert K S 21:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I make a lot of edits to Jeopardy!-related articles... Robert K S 22:03, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for reconsidering and giving me your trust. If I am appointed to a seat, please continue to talk with me about any concerns that you have in general or specific to my actions. Take care FloNight 01:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
