{{Governor's Schools (Virginia)}}

Do you intend to write articles on all the other schools? I'd considered making this template myself and decided not to because so many are still just redlinks. I'm not sure it's a good idea to have the template until at least half the schools have meaningful articles. I'm not going to nominate it for TfD or anything, I'm just curious. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 22:54, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

(Your reply pasted for continuity)

I don't have plans to create any of the other pages, but from my experience, they're much more likely to be written if a redlink is created. You could take all the redlinks out the template if you want, leaving the nonexistant articles as text, but I think this will serve better to get new articles faster. Note that I also created the main Governor's Schools (Virginia) article. Jkatzen 23:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

I did indeed notice it had been written...I've wished there was one for a while but don't have the knowledge to write it. Kudos! -- stillnotelf has a talk page 23:25, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Shenandoah Valley GS

I'd left the DATE NEEDED, etc in there hoping that User:Schadenfreude328 would see it and put the info in - he was editing right before me (edit conflicted at one point) and it appears that he's from the school, so I was hoping he'd see the table and have the information at hand. You're right to remove it in the long term, of course. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 15:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Moving articles on afd

When you move an article that's on afd, could you please create a redirect from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NewTitle to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OldTitle instead of moving the afd discussion? My bot can account for redirected afd discussions automatically, but it can't detect moved ones, and there isn't really an easy way to make it do so. —Cryptic (talk) 16:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Jkatzen, you mentioned in your detailed copyright information that it is only for use on a single article. On any other article it is simply copyright infringement. You did not use any tag to explain your copyright information, so it was untagged. I have tried to tag it according to information provided. If you think, it is tagged incorrectly, then please tag it suitably but don't leave as untagged image. Thank you, Shyam ^(T/C) 08:59, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Westinghouse Electric

The reason I made these changes because the policy states that the names of companies' articles shouldnt include the part of the name which indicates the legal basis on which the company is formed. So the article about Westinghouse Electric Company LLC should be at Westinghouse Electric Company. The issue becomes more complex when this would result in two articles having the same name, the prefered solution is to disambiguate with a term in brackets after the name, as had been used with the two WEC firms. However, as they are legally formed as Corporations then that term shouldnt be included, which is why I removed it from the 1886 firm's article.

We've been working from a particular list, so I hadnt seen WEC 1998, but I would propose it was moved to Westinghouse Electric (1998). I hope this fleshes out the issues a bit more, although I must admit to being no expert whatsover in the workings of Westinghouse, I hope that we can come to some sensible application in this case. Thanks. Ian3055 13:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll list it all on Requested Moves. Ian3055 17:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Vendormate

Hi. I voted to delete that article (although that's not my point here). I do believe that the company doesn't meet WP:CORP and since your user page, I now realize, identifies you as the co-founder there's a bit of a vanity/spam/conflict of interest issue. But I wanted to also say that I very much disapprove of the motivations of the nominator. Closercate1 (talk · contribs) seems to be a single purpose account who I suspect seeks revenge for your vote on the Logo talk page. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up about him. Cheers. Pascal.Tesson 01:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with everything Pascal says above. As much as I don't like to admit it, Cochese8 (talk · contribs) and Jsmorse47 (talk · contribs) might have a point that I'm being inconsistent if I didn't vote to delete. Wmahan. 03:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

GAMES/Games magazine

I changed GAMES to Games per the Wikipedia style manual:

• Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment:
  • avoid: REALTOR®
  • instead, use: Realtor

As "Games" is just a word, and not an abbreviation, acronym, etc., there isn't any reason to spell it in all caps, other than Games wanting it to stand out. :) (Also, I'm a reader of the magazine, so I have nothing against it.) ‣tregoweth (talk) 14:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Alexandria

Within minutes of my adding Alexandria as a placename in Fairfax Co., you'd deleted it. My reasoning is that if people call a place by that name, that is a place, regardless of which government authorities recognize it.

Spurned Editor on a Rampage?

um...ouch! No, just following orders from User:JzG andUser:A Man In Black. Citing WP:NOT#DIR, they are claiming that newscast schedules are no longer allowed by Wikipedia rules. I will be perfectly honest with you, I disagree with this and tried to fight it, but with no help, I was ridiculed and threatened. So, I did their dirty work for them.

This is not of my doing, I fought to keep them, no one would help, two admins' said they had to go, they went. My apologizes if this has messed up some of your work. If so, I will work with you to get that work back, within WP:NOT#DIR. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 19:04, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Look, I know it is notable (it is part of the article structure on WP:TVS), but no one wants to fight this change. No one, not even WP:TVS members. Even though my objections and a proposal for a slight rule change, it did no good.

I am sorry, but according to those two admin and WP:NOT#DIR, they have to go. It sucks, because in 99% of cases, they are notable and they are covered by WP:TVS, but when you are ridiculed and threatened by two admin, it is better just to throw in the towel and delete them.

If you can write them into paragraph and not a schedule, then they would be OK. Otherwise, they will probably get deleted again and I don't want to you get in trouble from one of those two admin. But, if you can work it into an article, then it will be OK. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 05:13, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, relax. I live in Virginia (near Winchester) and I keep a close eye on the Virginia TV and Radio stations, so I know a little about them.

But, this has nothing to do with my ego nor am I "making knee-jerk changes on a lot of pages based on a disagreement" I had "with a few editors". I did submit a proposal, which was instantly laughed at, I was ridiculed and then threatened by two different admin. So, my deletions, were not a "rampage" as you put it. It is deleting pages that two admins threatened and ridiculed over, cited WP:NOT#DIR and ultimately, I did their dirty work.

I asked others for their opinions, only to have my messages reverted as harrassment. So, I can't talk to people and see what they think, if admins go around and revert me. What I said was not harrassment, it was a standard cut/paste message (got lazy, didn't want to type the same thing over), asking for opinions on the situation (which I got none). I can't talk to people, if I am not allowed, and people won't talk back.

I would ask that you look at my work on the Winchester, VA radio pages, Kingwood, WV radio pages, and others before passing judgement on me. I don't have an ego, I do try to make changes, and I am actually a pretty nice guy, just don't like being threatened and ridiculed.

I did what was demanded and I apologize if that messed up some work that you or others did. I again, let you know that I am against this, but when it is demanded, it is better to just delete than fight. This is not of my doing...and I am not a "Spurned Editor on a Rampage". Again, my apologizes...NeutralHomer ^T:C 05:24, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I have, again, reverted these as WP:TVS has not ruled one way nor the other on this. The post pretty much just died out. I am going with WP:NOT#DIR. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 05:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Paramount Parks

You're wanton destruction and reverts are not helpful. See talk page. Epson291 00:58, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

If by "You're" you mean "Your" and by "wanton" you mean "gratuitous" and by your patronizing tone you intended something more constructive, I still disagree. I think, at any given point, the article should at least read like a final piece, even if some elements aren't cemented. And with random question marks interrupting the flow, I think it's hard to read. I'd hardly consider my edits "destruction" any more than any changes made by any other editor who takes an interest in the style and legibility of an article. I'm willing to discuss the merits of using question-mark blanks with you, but I don't think the harsh tone you've been taking with me since my first edit of your work is helpful.

Birthright Citizenship citation removal

Fair criticism. I've done the following:

• I found a free online copy of the entire Houston Chronicle story and replaced the non-free cite in the article with a free version.

• As I said before, the two sources do not address the question of whether "anchor baby" legislation would survive judicial review, so I stand by my earlier claim that these sources do not belong where they were. I (re)created a new paragraph introducing the issue and moved the sources there — something I believe needed to be done in order to justify keeping these two sources in the article at all.

• I've left the contentious "anchor baby" language alone for now. I acknowledge that I misread the extent to which the RfC had gone and whether we were ready to try this sort of rewrite along the lines of one of the suggestions made.

Hi Danger. Good name. There was a lot of talk re: this image both in an RFD and a "Possibly Unfree Files" discussion. Regardless of whether a "(c)" appears or not, a federal agency has no ability to copyright. Nonetheless, agencies have a habit of attempting it anyway (notice such marks on IRS' site). Even if it isn't free, it's generally considered fair use to have an image that's the subject of critical commentary to accompanying text describing such. Check the RFD/PUF discussions for more on this. There really wasn't any consensus re: whether this image is or isn't free (partly because courts are somewhat split on it, though less of late), and there's been zero discussion (at least as of a month or two ago) as to whether it's fair use or not. You've been the first to suggest it's not, given the commentary in the article. Jkatzen (talk) 05:26, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

The rationale says "Book cover of Queen Bees and Wannabes, intended to illustrate an article directly about the work." What else is necessary for fair use? That it's a book cover used on an article whose subject is the book is pretty typical fair use on Wikipedia. I've removed the tag so it's not quickly deleted while this is sorted out.
