That donkeys thing

Hi Dravecky, I am not sure how merge the articles. Could you merge them please? This will be easier, if Sophismata is deleted and donkeys just renamed. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:49, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

OK, user:Pgallert said they will do it. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:31, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Oh, that's great. hist-merge is not one of my specialties. - Dravecky (talk) 22:34, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
It was merged, care to promote it? Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:13, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dravecky

Hi Dravecky.I posted an article Mihai Gheorghe.If You have questions about it,ask.Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tatomir Ion-Marius (talk • contribs) 01:42, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

I have cleaned up the article as much as I am able, with proper Wikipedia formatting and categories. However, the article does not clearly indicate why this painter is notable not is it well sourced from reliable references. I have removed the speedy tag but added a PROD tag so the article will be deleted in 7 days if it is not improved. - Dravecky (talk) 03:11, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dravecky.Thank You for Your answer. The reference to the article is the online newspaper of the city where the painter lived. Could You give an example, how to indicate the notability of the painter? Is among first articles I post, and missing experience.Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tatomir Ion-Marius (talk • contribs) 04:18, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:WKAC BAMA LOGO.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Skier Dude2 (talk) 06:38, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Apparently the station has dropped the service and there are IP users determined to remove this. I surrender. - Dravecky (talk) 07:00, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
I was going to readd it myself, but didn't feel like fighting the IPs either. - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 07:07, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

inSpiral Lounge

Hi there. Thanks for the review of InSpiral Lounge I've tidied those 2 sentences you raised as best I can think of and altered a sentence about the previous cafe to make the tone less promotional. Is there any other work you think it needs or can we remove the tag now? Paul Bedson (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

The tone is certainly improved but unsourced, unattributed statements such as "They used this experience to create a futuristic, environmentally conscious alternative to Starbucks with a chilled out theme and sense of community" would be great for a brochure or a glowing review but not for an encyclopedia article. Indeed, the sourcing on the whole History section is very thin. - Dravecky (talk) 01:44, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Undid revision of NASAMSFC

Hi, This was not duplicate entries. See {{GSFC}}. Euty (talk) 06:13, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

The edit you made to {{NASAMSFC}} to add a "People" set of links duplicated exactly the "Directors" set of links already present in the template. - Dravecky (talk) 06:22, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually, not "exactly", but you are almost right. However, that version could be extend with other people. Wich now is not possible. One can put only directors over there. Not "simple" good researchers, like in the {{GSFC}} template. But I do not want to argue, I leave it to you to change back or not. Euty (talk) 07:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

It's certainly possible to have both a "Directors" line and a "People" line, if you have links to Marshall-associated people to fill the latter without needlessly repeating the list of center directors. I welcome any editor to expand or improve this (or any other) template. - Dravecky (talk) 09:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Friday (Rebecca Black song)

Thanks for the article Victuallers (talk) 08:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Question

Hi, I dont know if you know ths, but I ask anyway.. If I were to completely rewrite an article would it pass DYK?. I mean would the x5 expansion still be needed or would it count as a "new article" because of the rewrite as all of the original text would be rewritten?.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:18, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Unless what you're replacing is a clear copyright violation, rewriting the text would not qualify your hook for DYK. - Dravecky (talk) 15:00, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

On Jersey Circus (again)

I don't want to go into another large scale debate, especially considering you created the article and everything, but do you genuinely believe that a subject covered only by blogs and a newsfeed would warrant its own article? I admit that I don't have the "it only ran for two months" argument to back me up anymore, but it's still subject to recentism, and just keeping it to a paragraph on the Family Circus page just seems to be a fairer choice. Argue if you will, but I'd really like to come to a compromise on this. ~jcm 22:08, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

What's the benefit to the reader looking for information about Jersey Circus? Why merge to Family Circus instead of Jersey Shore? How much information would be lost (and there would be quite a bit lost) in the condensation to a single paragraph? I'm not claiming that Jersey Circus is the most notable subject covered by Wikipedia but Wikipedia is a compendium of knowledge, not a competition. - Dravecky (talk) 01:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
From what I see of the article, not a lot of essential information would be lost in the condensation to a paragraph. Descriptions of the artwork and critical reception would be omitted, and taking out a few unnecessary details afterward, readers interested in the blog should still be satisfied. As for the redirect, it doesn't really matter where, as it is a crossover. I just personally favor FC since it's the less recent of the two. I'm not trying to make the notability a competition, I just prefer that Wikipedia be free of articles with barely passable sources. ~jcm 19:28, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

WKHF

Currently, WKHF doesn't have a "License to Cover" listed on the FCC website. But as you know they are sometimes slow on listing the applications and such. VARTV.com is reporting that WKHF is on-the-air. With that, should I create a page for WKHF or wait for the FCC? - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 22:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Since you have a reliable source saying it's actually broadcasting a proper format and the FCC has accepted their 'license to cover' application for filing, I think you're okay to proceed with the article. - Dravecky (talk) 01:39, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
They must have put the license to cover on the FCC website since the last I looked. Good catch. I will get to that momentarily. Thanks for taking a look. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 01:41, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for creating the page. That's what I get for playing on Facebook. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 02:01, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
I had all those sources open already and just couldn't help myself. Enjoy! - Dravecky (talk) 02:21, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
No worries. :) That's the power of Wikipedia, it draws you in like that, it makes you edit. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 02:28, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Friday

Hi Dravecky. I had to remove the entry for Friday from the DYKSTATS page. Rule 3 of the Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics#Rules makes clear that DYKSTATS is only for articles that have received a big "bump" in views from being featured on DYK. Articles that have received huge hit levels prior to being featured and have no pronounced bump aren't eligible. In this case, Friday had > 100,000 hits for several straight days before it was featured on DYK and actually had fewer hits on the day it was featured on DYK. Cbl62 (talk) 08:53, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah, no worries. Thanks for letting me know. - Dravecky (talk) 08:56, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
