[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ridin' High (Robert Palmer album) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Ridin' High (Robert Palmer album) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL625E6A958ADD802B&feature=mh_lolz) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 07:23, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clemente rewrite

[edit]

We appreciate that good faith editing in the article, but you have to follow our guidelines in avoiding original research as some of the content you added is questionable at best. But there's some great content as well that all it needs is a copyedit, it would be better to sort this out in the article talk page to clean it out. I almost reverted but the Clemente article had to be rewritten anyways even before you started editing it. I would try to help with the content considering that I have all the books, and would lead you to the proper guidelines if you wish. Thanks Secret account 03:43, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Nomination of Sandra Seacat for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sandra Seacat is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sandra Seacat until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.. Niteshift36 (talk) 11:39, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sandra Seacat article overhaul

[edit]

Hi. I appreciate your good-faith changes and your intent in following behind me and rewriting what I've written. This is an encyclopedic article and there are guidelines to follow in adding content. I've been cleaning it up and changing it from a puff piece to an article. Adding, for example, fluffy language about Seacat's daughter doesn't meet the guidelines of Wiki. If you could bear with me, and with anyone else improving on the article, that would be much appreciated. If the editorializing and puffery in the article stay in, the article will surely be deleted at the end of the AfD process and you'll be left with no article about her at all. I believe she's notable and meets the guidelines, but the article will not pass if you keep adding puff to it. If you want to discuss something you'd like to add to see if it meets Wiki guidelines, the place to do that is in the article's talk page. Thank you. AuthorAuthor (talk) 16:45, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit wars are not allowed. You're following everything I'm editing and changing it. I am improving the article. Please use the article's talk page if you have a question or don't agree with the edit. AuthorAuthor (talk) 23:45, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To respond, in part: Every single thing a person does is not mentioned in articles, just as every person Seacat worked with doesn't need to be in the article either. It's not a catch-all. It's an encyclopedic entry. A projection of what she may be doing in the future doesn't fit here -- only what she's done in the past and what she's doing now. I'll read the mentions in articles and rework the article to match. Family members can be included, which is why Greta is mentioned; I'll correct it to coaching/training. Also, I'm not sure what guidelines you're looking at, but I haven't seen quotes included in references before, which is why they're being removed; they're unnecessary. Just the citation itself suffices. Thank you. AuthorAuthor (talk) 02:47, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You just added POV content as well as a duplicate link from the New York Times that is already sourced in the article, which is not according to Wiki guidelines for sourcing. You also added a personal website as a source, which is not Wiki style and is an unreliable source. I am going to fold in a short mention of the dream method, copyedit out the point-of-view language you used, and then I am going to let the article be. There is nothing more to add at this point in the AfD process. I hope you follow suit. AuthorAuthor (talk) 15:21, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sandra Seacat and AfD process

[edit]

I have, again, fixed the article, keeping in the dream method but editing it down to remove flowery language, plus I put the links in Wiki style. There is nothing more that is needed for this article. Anything new looks like you are padding it with sources (you added three or four unnecessary links from personal websites; I removed those because they are not according to Wiki guidelines). Thank you for your patience as the improved article sits and we allow it to go through the AfD process. AuthorAuthor (talk) 16:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes within refs re: Marlo Thomas, etc.

[edit]

I've read the advice/instructions other editors have given you, one of which was that quotes do not belong inside refs, as well as fluffy language. Yet you just edited a handful of articles, added POV language and inserted lengthy, unnecessary quotes within refs. There are Wikipedia guidelines that others have suggested you read before you edit more pages. I concur. AuthorAuthor (talk) 22:19, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Style of writing as found in Roberto Clemente

[edit]

Hello there. I've noticed some recent edits of yours to the Roberto Clemente article. Some of the following have been brought up before, while others may be new. Regardless, I thought you might find some of the following links helpful to give you a better idea of what the guidelines would be for any article, especially one which used to be a good article until one day ago.

  • WP:CONTRACTIONS for more information on why WP does not utilize contractions.
  • WP:PEACOCK for more information on how to properly write notable achievements in a neutral tone.
  • WP:NPOV for more information on how simply inserting complimentary language from others about the article's subject would violate a neutral tone. Often times authors or columnists are writing from a certain viewpoint and the language (and quotes) used in their writing exhibits a point of view. An encyclopedia, similar to a news article or technical manual, should simply state the facts and let the reader decide. If you wish to quote someone who has given a compliment (or conversely, a critical opinion) it may be better to directly quote the speaker.
  • WP:Citing sources for guides and rules on how to properly format references, including what information to list. For example, for "location" the city (and perhaps state/province) should be listed, not the country where the publisher is based or where the book was printed. Also, be sure to correctly spell authors and publishing information. Even though it may not seem like a big thing, if the article was to ever get back to being of GA quality, misspellings in the references might be something a reviewer would decide would prevent an article from reaching GA.

The Don Heckman-Ed Summerlin Improvisational Jazz Workshop

[edit]

You have recently made some very welcome contributions to Wikipedia and I thank you. Upon reviewing some of these articles I've made a few additions and corrections. Unfortunately, I don't have the free time to devote to all the tweaking that I could do to numerous articles. In reference to the article that you created on the "Improvisational Jazz Workshop" you need to know that the "Don Heckman-Ed Summerlin Improvisational Jazz Workshop" was the name of the group co-led by Heckman and Summerlin as well as the title of Ictus Records 101. In no sense can Ictus Records 101 be considered an Ed Summerlin album as it is clearly a collaboration between Heckman and Summerlin. I have the record and accompanying text insert in my hand and the notes signed D. H. make it clear that "Improvisational Jazz Workshop" is the name of the group. It would be great if you could revise this article to reflect this important information. This rare and important album deserves an accurate description. Maybe a separate article on the group is needed.JaneOlds (talk) 18:58, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Look to the Rainbow (Astrud Gilberto album).jpeg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Look to the Rainbow (Astrud Gilberto album).jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

  • dates
  • years
  • commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
  • common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This applies to infoboxes, too.

Thanks, and my best wishes.

Thanks for the heads up, and for the link re the defining characteristic threshold (and bad on me for not investigating more thoroughly before plunging ahead). In light of that standard, I'm not not sure how I feel about the viability of the category—nor of any acting-teacher variation (if only because that relationship is far too under-the-radar to ever be widely viewed as a defining characteristic), nor, for that matter, of the parent category itself. Long story short, tho I'm not sure what's worth saving (nor whether—as suggested in a number of related discussions—a thorough, fully sourced list, whether in or outside of the main article, might not be the best option), I do know that a good 35 or 40 of the original 50 have no business in a category meant to encompass only artists whose careers were significantly impacted by Seacat. So I will get back to that now (as well as making what is probably my first substantial contribution to the main article since 2012, regarding a recently surfaced Seacat disciple, arguably the most intriguing one of all.

Request reason:

To whom it may concern: With my Macbook currently very iffy, I was working on a computer at the NYPL this morning, and thus not already logged in. I then did log in—successfully, it seemed—to both WQ & WP, using the correct password but inadvertently employing my Baseball Reference handle, David Speed, instead of my Wiki version, DavidESpeed. It was not until I attempted my first edit of the morning, on WP, that I got the block notice. Alas, it was not until I compounded my goof by attempting a WQ edit under the likewise botched username that it finally dawned on me the culprit was neither Wiki error nor anonymous hacker but my very own vapor lock. Oooops!! If nothing else, an attention-getting reminder to immediately change my Wiki settings—as is already the case with my BR account—to do away with the permanent log-in. Again, sorry for the glitch. I'm certainly glad Wiki has this mechanism in place but I hope this will be resolved relatively soon. DavidESpeed (talk) 16:46, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Issue seems to be resolved. 331dot (talk) 07:50, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I see no block on this account. What happens when you attempt to edit? 331dot (talk) 16:54, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just before finishing my laboriously crafted SOS, I double-checked to see if this had been resolved, but I was still being blocked. Judging from the time of your edit, however, this was resolved quickly indeed. In any event, kudos and many thanks for your own rapid response. DavidESpeed (talk) 01:38, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Semi-professional basketball players

[edit]

This is not a category that exists. It could be created, but I would encourage you to start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball before doing so as I could see many problems with this category if not tightly-defined. I would argue it is difficult to know who should go into the category and who shouldn't and further what leagues and teams count as "semi-professional" Rikster2 (talk) 14:54, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. My bad on two fronts. I guess it's been so long since I'd created a category that I forgot how to complete the process, i.e. add the parent category[ies]. But now that I reconsider, I can't really say this motley, ill-defined group merits category status; I clearly got carried away. Actually, it all stemmed from my excitement, while editing the Whammy Douglas wiki, in discovering that in addition to his baseball exploits, he'd had considerable success in semi-pro basketball. But then simply adding Basketball player to his categories would, if anything, be even more effective in alerting the potentially curious to that fact. Long story short, if you haven't done so already, I'll now revert the rest of those edits myself. Thanks again.DavidESpeed (talk) 16:01, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Semi-professional basketball players

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:Semi-professional basketball players requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

An article you recently created, Wise Guys Prefer Brunettes, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Ways to improve Howard Lachtman

[edit]

Hello, DavidESpeed,

Thank you for creating Howard Lachtman.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Lachtman's own works (two of which are compilations he edited) and contributted articles don't really establish his notability, which requires independent coverage of him from non-primary sources, which doesn't include interviews. There's an argument the article could do with more reviews of his books or articles/books about him or that reference him and his work...

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Alexandermcnabb}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Greetings, Onel5969. There seems to be a case of mistaken identity afoot, and I have a pretty good idea how it happened—and who is at fault. (Ooops! That would be me.) Indeed, given the circumstances, I can only applaud you all the more for merely relocating, rather than deleting. When you have a few moments to spare, please compare this, the more-than-10-year-old, previously deleted travesty for which I—then a fledgling Wikipedian—was likewise responsible, to its current, much improved, thoroughly sourced draft and accept my sincere apology for the current mixup.

Draft:Jane Speed

[edit]

I apologize for taking so long to read your draft. I took the liberty of changing two red links for The Whistler into blue links pointing to The Whistler (radio series). Otherwise, I didn't see anything that I think needs to be changed. The article seems to be very thorough, and I can appreciate the time and effort that went into the research and writing. Good work! Eddie Blick (talk) 20:34, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, Eddie. Thanks so much for taking the time. Speaking of which, I also strongly recommend you check out her Skippy episode—i.e. the Gloria Grahame version of "Farewell to Birdie McKeever"—whenever you can spare about 23½ minutes. Here's the link, minus the first few minutes of superfluous stuff (i.e. schmoozing, plugs, Skippy promos, etc.). Actually, the Skippy promo at the intermission is kind of cool, in that Van actually builds on the brief allusion Jane's script makes to the then-early stages of HUAC ("Do you think she's been planted here? As some sort of subversive element?") Anyway, allusions aside, the play itself is really strong. A really novel premise. Sweet, surprising. Ingenious and ingenuous. And..... and that's enough out of me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGEp-RsMG-w&t=168s Anyway, thanks again. DavidESpeed (talk) 01:17, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:David Young (radio producer/director)

[edit]

I moved your article to draft. I tried fixing it, but the article has far too many links to family search websites, which are not permitted as sources. Thanks for your understanding. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:47, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the article to mainspace. It seems to me to have more than adequate sources from publications (both general-circulation and trade).
These are my thoughts with regard to @Magnolia677's concern about use of family search websites:
  • I noticed that the link is lower-cased, and it points to a section about Find a Grave, rather than the more specific Family Search website (which you had used in some citations in an earlier version of the article).
  • I, too, am concerned when I see citations that mention just Ancestry.com, FamilySearch, Find a Grave, and similar sources because so much of the content on those sites is WP:USERGENERATED.
  • However, the FamilySearch entry at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources says, in part, "FamilySearch also hosts primary source documents, such as birth certificates, which may be usable in limited situations, as well as a large collection of digitized books, which should be evaluated on their own for reliability. When using primary source documents from FamilySearch, follow WP:BLPPRIMARY and avoid interpreting them with original research."
  • Your original citations included items such as "California, World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1940-1945" and "California Death Index, 1940-1997" that are found within the FamilySearch site. I consider such sources to be valid for this article. WP:BLPPRIMARY would prohibit their use if the subject of the article were living, but that is not the case.

OTR people

[edit]

Your recent post on my talk page mentioned that you looked for "any as-yet-undocumented but worthy bio subjects" related to Old Time Radio. A few minutes ago I remembered a list (unpublished) of OTR people that I found in OTR-related publications that did not have articles on Wikipedia. My last edit to the page was in February 2016, so it's likely that articles have been created about some of them in the last eight years.

I eventually began saving names and links related to them in browsers or in cloud sites rather than adding to that page, and I had forgotten about it. Anyway, I wanted to tell you about User:Teblick/Annotated list of old-time American radio people without their own pages.

You are welcome to do research about any of those names and create articles about any of them if you wish. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:59, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Eddie. I took a look at the A's and I hope to have an article up for Charme Allen by tonight or tomorrow. As for the rest of the alphabet, would you like me to remove any names I come across that have indeed since been added to Wiki? (Off the top of my head, Peggy Conklin and Morris Carnovsky are definitely in this category.) DavidESpeed (talk) 23:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DavidESpeed, Yes, that would be fine if you don't mind removing those names. I don't know how much potential any of the names have with regard to finding enough material for articles.
Best wishes for success with Charme Allen (and possibly others)! Eddie Blick (talk) 23:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Strange (actor)

[edit]

Hi @DavidESpeed:, we're making an article for actor Robert Strange, can you help us expand it please?

I found this links that you can take information from, as I'm still a novice when it comes to writing biographies:

You can also search for more and also help us on the filmography to? CheAjlt (talk) 20:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @CheAjlt, thanks so much for the invite and my apologies for this belated direct response. Not wanting to make any promises I couldn't keep (both in terms of other obligations and computer issues I'm having), I investigated a bit before plunging in full force, at which point it became a pretty obsessive process. Anyway, you can see the Selected filmography I've assembled thus far, emphasizing what appear to be some of his most impactful contributions. As a rule, I believe that, esp. in the case of relatively marginal and/or forgotten screen figures (whose resumes are routinely littered w/ tiny, low-impact appearances in major studio releases), a selected filmography—as opposed to the would-be comprehensive one, which, after all, can be accessed easily enough via IMDb or AFI—is of more use to curious Wiki users/film lovers who might just be itching to know which films they should spend their time searching out in order to discover exactly what a given actor was able to bring to the table when given a chance.
BTW, one question I had: I noticed you had added the category, 20th-century American poets. I didn't want to remove it without asking you, but I've seen nothing in the wiki—neither in the text nor the cited sources, nor in any sources I've since added—indicating that he was a writer of any kind. Am I missing something? DavidESpeed (talk) 15:43, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @DavidESpeed:, I just wanted to tell you that you did an amazing job, even much better than what I could have done, don’t worry, the category of 20th-century American poets was a mistake of mine, I also think in this cases it’s better a Selected filmography, know I think it’s time to focus more on the next steps @Ssilvers: wrote on the talk page to do, like a well-cited Career section, discussing his most noteworthy performances, in chronological order, and a Reputation section, discussing what the critics and later commentators have said about his acting, technique and reputation.
Thank You!!👍 CheAjlt (talk) 17:37, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jayne Hazard

[edit]

Hi @DavidESpeed:, thank you very much for helping me on the article of Robert Strange, may I invite you now to help me expand the article for actress Jayne Hazard? CheAjlt (talk) 01:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @CheAjlt, again, thx for the invite. As you can see, I've added some stuff around the edges, not so much about the career, per se. Particularly sad about that second marriage. I'm pretty certain they got divorced not long after that, but since, by that point, neither of them was really a public figure, it may be hard to document when. In any event, she does not appear to have remarried, in that it seems she was still using the last name Ward at the end.

Steven John Ward

[edit]

Hi @DavidESpeed:, it's me again, can you now help me create an article for actor Steven John Ward, best known for portraying Dracule Mihawk in the live-action of One Piece? CheAjlt (talk) 06:30, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @CheAjlt, I'm going to respectfully take a pass on this one. I have a lot on my plate right now so I'm trying to restrict my Wiki efforts to my primary areas of knowledge and/or interest. Again, thanks for thinking of me.
