College football on television

I did quite a bit of copyedit/cleanup work on the college football on television article and you simply reverted it. If there is actual content to add, please add it. But creating empty sections and linking non-existent articles does not improve Wikipedia. jareha 05:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Legal drinking age

Your edits here weren't really appropriate since your additions weren't actually 'loopholes' so much as ways of breaking the law and getting away with it, which isn't really relevant to the article. --InShaneee 20:27, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, that info doesn't belong in the article. Please refrain from re-adding it. --InShaneee 21:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Games Broadcast by Keith Jackson

I've merged that into the page on Keith Jackson; his bio article is not particularly large, so there doens't seem to be any need for a seperate page. If you disagree, please drop me a note on my talk page, so we can discuss it. Thanks for adding that info, though; it's nice to have. (and the mention of your souces is good, too.)

Groupings

Will you please refrain from adding these inappropriate grouping to articles. Your ones on Michael Jordan have now been reverted at least twice. Smaller articles do not need this kind of grouping and larger ones like the Jordan article, do not need that much subgrouping. In the end you are only ruining the flow of many articles and in the cases of smaller ones, they have become unreadable. -Thebdj 16:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit to Bill Clinton; Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. OhNo itsJamie ^Talk 23:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Levineps, Sometimes you can have too many section headings. We don't need a separate header for every paragraph - this is why I've removed the headers you added to Bill Clinton. Please try to section articles into broad topics, as opposed to individual paragraphs. Thank you. Rhobite 02:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss edits

If you're making major edits to an article, such as Bill Clinton, it's always better to discuss your edits beforehand on the talk page. Could you please post a message on Talk:Bill Clinton explaining why you are trying to split the article? I'm not sure that this needs to be done, and I don't think "Bill Clinton's Post-Presidency" and "Clinton's Foreign Policy" are the best names for these pages.

Reaction to Officiating in Super Bowl XL

Please do not split or merge a page without making an edit summary indicating that you did so. The GFDL requires acknowledgement of all contributors, and editors continue to hold copyright on their contributions unless they specifically give up this right. Without entering a summary such as "spliting content from Super Bowl XL", it looks like you wrote the entire Reaction to Officiating in Super Bowl XL article yourself. Thanks.

List of United States Democratic Party Superdelegates(By Candidate)

A tag has been placed on List of United States Democratic Party Superdelegates(By Candidate), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material.

Spacing

Hi. You seem to be changing all the McCain articles under the edit subject "spacing". If you are changing two spaces after sentences to one (what it seems like), please be advised those two spaces are intentional. They are permitted by the MoS and I use them to better spot where sentences begin when I am in edit mode, since these articles have many inline footnotes and can be hard to follow when looking at the source.

Double spaces, part III.

See above. I actually dropped this on your talk page earlier (as you may have noticed from the spurious "new messages"), but I backed up because I misinterpreted one of your edits as not doing this. But now I look again and see that you are still doing this. This task is pointless. Double spaces in articles are for the editors' benefit, since readers see no difference. If the main editors to an article prefer to use double spaces (such as myself), let them; by going around changing the style, you're only annoying editors. This would be a really lame thing to go to administrators over, so please just stop. SnowFire (talk) 08:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you continue to remove double spaces completely pointlessly, nor respond. For the last time: both styles are allowed by the MOS. It's just like British vs. American English. This is about the lamest reason to be blocked ever, but repeated and constant breach of the MOS has gotten people blocked before for those who spent all their time changing British->American or vice versa. Spacing is an even sillier issue than that. I'd recommend some kind of dispute resolution, except that there is no dispute; editors are not allowed to unilaterally switch optional style points in every article like reference styles, dialects, or spacing. Are you at all interested in responding? If you continue to make these utterly pointless and actually counterproductive edits, then I'll bring the issue up on the Administrator's noticeboard next. Which would be ridiculous for such a minor issue. Please stop. SnowFire (talk) 19:52, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. What's more, many of your other spacing edits, such as ones in "External links" sections that change "* [http://..." to "*[http://...", are completely pointless too. The end result looks no different to the reader either way. And the churn in the articles due to these edits makes doing version differences to find real content changes that much more difficult, because we have to read through and disregard your stuff. Surely there is something more important you can do on this project than this! Wasted Time R (talk) 22:05, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to echo what these other editors were saying. I spent a good 5 minutes looking at Coach (baseball) trying to figure out what you "cleaned up" until I realized that it was just spacing changes that made no visual impact on the web site... I'm not sure what the point was. I whole heartedly welcome anyone who can write better than me or who has better information than me to come in and edit artciles I put a fair ammount of work into, especially to fix my typos. But just changing non-end user spacing? Twice? I don't get it buddy... Coastalsteve984 (talk) 12:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Ballot Bowl

A tag has been placed on Ballot Bowl requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Some non-redundant material

I ran across this edit[[1] of yours, which resulted in deleting relevant, referenced material which was not previously included in Presidency of Gerald Ford. I have re-inserted a portion[2]. This move also necessitated corrections of other articles that had linked to it. I also note from a cursory check, that other sections in the former are similarly not now included in the latter (e.g. #Accession).

No offense intended, but since this seems to be something you are working on recently, I would like to suggest that you take additional care to prevent loss of material that has met consensus prior to the page move. Regards, CasualObserver'48 (talk) 06:10, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't unlink names on the World Series broadcasters page

I've been noticing that you've been doing that type of stuff to a lot of articles concerning lists of sports event broadcasters. The World Series has been on television since the 1940s and on the radio since the 1920s. It would be awfully impractical and neglectful (in my estimation) to simply do a "one and done" format with the editing. Many, many announcers have covered the World Series multiple times (e.g. Curt Gowdy, Vin Scully, Tim McCarver, Joe Garagiola, Mel Allen, etc.). Tim McCarver for instance, has called World Series games for three different networks (ABC, CBS, and FOX) since 1985. So by your logic, Tim McCarver's name should only be linked for the 1985 series.

Cleanup

Hi. Thanks for cleaning up my additions to "United States presidential election, 2008" (popular votes for 3rd parties). I'd like to understand what needed cleanup, and how I can improve future additions. Unfortunately, the "differences" page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_States_presidential_election,_2008&curid=406859&diff=260998847&oldid=260988541 ) is not very enlightening; it shows seemingly-similar text, but with different coloring (which might be an irrelevant artifact of the display), but leaves me ignorant of what I should have done differently. e.g.

-

Alan Keyes (America's Independent Party) received 47,768 votes. He was listed in three states: Colorado and Florida, plus California (listed as "American Independent"), and also had write-in status in Kentucky, Ohio, Texas, and Utah

+

Alan Keyes (America's Independent Party) received 47,768 votes. He was listed in three states: Colorado and Florida, plus California (listed as "American Independent"), and also had write-in status in Kentucky, Ohio, Texas, and Utah.

Aside from the space after the asterisk and some spaces between lines (as well as a few rewordings), I cannot tell what the differences are.

I would very much appreciate some guidance, for the purpose of improving my future contributions to Wikipedia. Thanks in advance for any advice you can send me.

Appointed by then-President George W. Bush?

This looks to me to be an unnecessary edit to make, generally former presidents are referred as president even after they are out of office especially when talking about administrative actions taken when they were still in office, just look at the Stephen Breyer article for an example where it reads that he was Appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton it would be awkward for it to read the then-President Bill Clinton, I realized that President Bush is very unpopular and pointing out that he is no longer the president is a joy to those who despise him and his presidency however it doesn't seem like it should be something used in an encyclopedia.68.115.186.143 (talk) 01:50, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this poster, you've made a slew of bad edits in this regard. In historical writing, it's always assumed that the position given for someone is their position at the time being described, not the time the reader is reading it. The "then-" form is not needed. Nobody writes, "In 1862, then-President Lincoln freed the slaves." They just write, "In 1862, President Lincoln freed the slaves." It's equally unnecessary to write, as you did here, "In 2007, then-President George W. Bush appointed Dole ..." In at least one case, you've made things even worse: this edit adding a "former" ended up saying "in August 2004 ... He described former President Bush's policy regarding ..." This makes it sound like Bush 41 is being referenced, when it's really Bush 43. Please consider going back and undoing all of these inappropriate usages. Thank you.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on this page, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Stub headers

Hi, Lev. Hey, looking at this edit, I wanted to ask you, do you really think that a section header in a stub of this length is necessary? I actually don't mind it; it just seems superfluous. I don't care, either way, and will not be reverting it. I just sometimes can't help writing down my random thoughts, and this one ended up on your talk page. Un school 17:52, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vick

As a user who is apparently new to our efforts on this article, you have apparently unilaterally opted to move almost all of the legal and financial troubles content, including the portions which are current events and ongoing, into a sub-article. I feel that move is inappropriate. I would agree that some of the many details could be moved if we don't lose the big picture in the primary article, but what has been done as of now is unacceptable. I will wait a few hours to see comments on the article talk page and give you a chance to respond and/or cleanup and restore the main points before proceeding to work on it myself.

Size reduction of Kentucky

I think you and I are thinking the same thing with regard to Kentucky. A while back, I tried to go back and source the information that was there to get the article up to GA, but this just resulted in a mammoth article that was still nowhere near GA. At the time, my motivation was to make Kentucky the first GA state article. Well, we've missed that, but the benefit is that we now have several models to follow (FAs: Minnesota and Oklahoma; GAs: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas). The more I think about it, the more I believe getting this article to GA or FA is going to require creating an alternate version (at say, User:Levineps/Kentucky or User:Acdixon/Kentucky), then trying to get a consensus to replace the existing article with the new one. If you're up for trying this, I could probably pull myself away from improving Kentucky governor articles long enough to give it a shot. Let me know what you think.

Energy section removal in California

You recently created the Energy usage in California, most likely by moving the "Energy" section from the California page to that one (perhaps adding a little more information).

Speedy deletion of Championship Week

A tag has been placed on Championship Week requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ╟─Treasury Tag►contribs─╢ 20:50, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Splitting revisited

I see this isn't a new problem to this page. Your splitting out of the filmography portion of Leonardo DiCaprio was done without even an edit summary in explanation, much less first broaching it on the talk page to gauge editor opinion on doing so. The article was 38kb prior to this and the filmography took up only 6kb. The article is not long enough to warrant splitting part of it off. Also, splitting it in that manner removes the history for the contributions leading to the filmography, a great deal of which I added. This is done without consensus and is not, as you've been told multiple times over last couple of months, being done without benefit of editor input. Please stop splitting article content outside of process and consensus. Wildhartlivie (talk) 17:02, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, your re-addition of the == Biography == heading to this article was contrary to guidelines, and your filmography was mis-spelled, and I have had to delete it as an implausible redirect. All in all, you seem to plough your own furrow here regardless of policy, guidelines, or the input of other editors, and do not communicate effectively. You create work for others, especially Admins, who have to clean up after you. This must stop as it is too disruptive. If it does not, I'm afraid your editing days here are over, and you make take this as a final warning. Thanks. --Rodhull andemu 17:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is precedence for a seperate page, Robert Redford filmography. Sorry for the misspelling though.--Levineps (talk) 18:29, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but the difference is that Robert Redford's article is long enough to justify separating the filmography; Leonardo DiCaprio's isn't, yet. When it is, it can be split following a proposal on the Talk page. --Rodhull andemu 18:32, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's a question. I cannot tell if you understand that you will be blocked if you split another article without consulting the talk page first.

Logos and uniforms

Why did you revert all of my merges? As is shown above, you have a history of inappropriately splitting articles without discussion or even leaving an edit summary! There is no reason to be splitting every single football team's logos and uniforms section. You just split and then do nothing to the new articles, leaving them without references, etc. And really, the logos and uniforms do not have any notability on their own. You may claim that the main articles were getting too long, but that is false: Tennessee Titans was only 12kb, and Cincinnati Bengals was only 16kb, not nearly long enough to require another split. Since you have continued this inappropriate behavior without any discussion or comment to your reasoning, I have notified you back to User:Moni3. Reywas92 ^Talk 21:29, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In your edit summary here, you said, "Rey, gotta use the talk page once again." If you knew the purpose of an edit summary, you'd see that in my edit I left a link to where I DID use the talk page: at Talk:Capital One Bowl. Simply using the undo button is not going to help.

WHY do you keep undoing me? I do not want to be enemies, but you need to make use of civil discussion. I am making a legitimate edit, and you just click the undo button without giving a single reason WHY you are doing so. In this edit and this edit, you just undo me giving NO explanation. Please learn how to use an Help:Edit summary. There is no reason to have the entire article under a single header when everything can be understood without it just fine. The entire article is a biography of the person, so there should not be a header defining that. If you disagree, then please use the talk page or an edit summary!!

Kansas City Chiefs

Hey, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia but the main Kansas City Chiefs article is currently listed as a "Good Article" the way it is. It underwent a review and was recommended to not have so many subheadings ("Marty Era", "Edwards era") and links to team's individual seasons or articles. Don't mind me changing the article back, but this is how Wikipedia will keep the article maintained, as is. It prevents the article from being too long and drawn out, and easier for some people to load onto their web explorer. Too many links can overload the page.

Urban Meyer categories

Greetings, Levineps.

While making various improvements to the Urban Meyer article today, you also modified the "Florida Gators football coaches" category, making it applicable only to "head coaches." The existing category included every Gators head coach since 1906, and approximately 2 dozen significant assistant head coaches that went on to bigger things beyond Gainesville. By making the category phrasing change, you have now placed Urban Meyer in a category that included only one person, and have separated him from all of his nearly 50 Gator coaching colleagues. While I do agree that Urban Meyer is in a class by himself, I hope you will see fit to revert your change to the "Florida Gators football coaches" category to the simpler form and restore Urban to his predecessors and colleagues.

BTW, I am one of the Wikiproject University of Florida editors, and I have been very active in trying to impose uniform categories, external links, and other cross-references as articles have been substantially re-written. If you would like to cooperate with these efforts, I would be happy to discuss them with you at length. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 12:58, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's difficult for me to see the benefit to categorizing with this degree of specificity, given that these categories are not going to have more than one or two entries. Before you create any more, you should participate in the CFD and see what others think about such a category scheme. Given the above comments, you might be better off discussing any categories you want to create with other editors before you create them. postdlf (talk) 22:50, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let's not go through this again, Levineps. Concern has been expressed about one of these categories and it's been suggested you probably shouldn't create any more for the time being. I don't think it's a good idea to keep creating them when so far no one else has commented in the discussion that this categorization scheme is a good idea. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ok, even though this is a work in progerss ill stick to other things.--Levineps (talk) 00:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting of categories

Levineps, I see you are going through and creating season sub-categories under each football program's main category. When you do so, can you be sure that these new seasons categories sort properly under their respective program's main category. For example, Category:Ball State Cardinals football seasons, should be listed under Category:Ball State Cardinals football with a "|Seasons", i.e. [[Category:Ball State Cardinals football|Seasons]] so that it sorts under S and not B. Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 16:35, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and please make sure the "S" in "|Seasons" is capitalized! Thanks for the good work! Jweiss11 (talk) 16:44, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

will do, but just out of curiosity, why does the "S" need to be capitalized?--Levineps (talk) 16:45, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The way the category sorting works is that all capitalized letters come first, then lower cases ones. The site-wide convention in place is to use capital letters for major sub-categories. Jweiss11 (talk) 16:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A couple other things I want to mention:

1) The category sorting stuff I mentioned about the seasons sub-categories...the same logic applies to other kinds of subcategories. For example, bowl games sub-cats should have a "|Bowl games".

2) I see that for a number of team season pages that have been categorized under a conference season category, Big Ten Conference teams in particular, you have deleted the NCAA D-I season category as well. I think that should probably not be done at this point. For one, it makes the team pages harder to locate from the NCAA D-I season category if you aren't sure what conference the team was in that year. Second, teams technically do play some games outside of their conference. It's a fine point how you want to define the conference season (i.e. only conference games or all games played by conference members). Whatever the case, at least until we build some consensus how to handle the season conference categories within the NCAA season categories, I think we should leave things be.

Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 23:09, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point with the first one and I will try to do it. However, it's over-categorization if the 1960 Big Ten page is as well as the 1960 Ohio State team as well. Sorry about that but I do believe this is right.

Likewise, I've noticed you've done a lot with the organizing as well so I would like to thank you for your efforts.--Levineps (talk) 23:12, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

University of Missouri categories

When I was reverting vandalism I inadvertently reverted one of your edits. However when I went to replace your contribution I noticed you removed relevant categories from the University of Missouri page. So I left the current version with the categories intact. Just curious as to why you removed the categories? Grey Wanderer (talk) 20:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

overcaterogization and categories already mentioned in the category.

Ex-Cubs Factor

You need to undo your rename of the article. It is "Ex-Cubs Factor", not "Ex-Cubs factor", as noted in the Mike Royko article which publicized the matter: [4] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:00, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be removing a lot of articles from this category. Can you explain why? Please use edit summaries. —D. Monack ^talk 04:17, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In virtually all cases it's over-categorization and many of those cases I put it in the summary--Levineps (talk) 04:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

American film categories

What's the use of creating all of these American-films-by-type categories if you only put one or two articles in it, when there are dozens that could be added to each? Are you going to come back and fully populate them. Or are you just expecting another editor will decide to do it? Such half-hearted categorization can be very frustrating for readers. If we're going to create a category, we should populate it as best we can! Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:44, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in the process of doing that as well as preventing over-categorization. I can't do it overnight--Levineps (talk) 00:02, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I realise that, but the question is are you going to do it? It would seem more sense to me to create a category—populate it; create—populate, rather than create, create, create, create, and then neglect population. (I'm not clear on what you mean that what you are doing is "preventing over-categorization".) Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:04, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have a pretty good track record with the sports categories, amongst others.--Levineps (talk) 00:08, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(No, actually, you don't ... It's been one problem after another much of the time.) Putting that aside—my real question is it going to be done or are you just going to create a lot of sparsely-populated categories that are not appropriately filled as they could be? Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:09, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well your entitled to your opinion, but I am. How many different ways are you going to ask me?--Levineps (talk) 00:11, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion about the past isn't the point. I have repeated the question because I wasn't sure if you were clear that I was asking a question, because it's not being answered. If you don't answer, I'll assume the answer is that you are not going to populate them and you are embarrassed to say so. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:13, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am as we speak populating the categories--Levineps (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed cat rename

Hi Levineps.

Big 12 WikiProject

Hi, I've noticed you've been involved in editing Big 12 related articles. I'm trying to gauge the interested in created a Big 12 WikiProject and wondered if you'd like to be involved. There are already pages for WikiProject Big Ten and WikiProject ACC. A Big 12 project would cover the schools themselves and anything to do with conference sports including: events, rivalries, teams, seasons, championships and lore. There is already quite a bit of activity here on Wikipedia regarding the Big 12, and I think a project could help coordinate and unify are efforts. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Big 12, if you are interested and add your name to the list. Grey Wanderer (talk) 23:43, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two reminders

Great work with the college basketball cats so far; I've also been trying to get them cleaned up a bit. Just two things: remember to use an endash, not a regular hyphen, for all years (i.e. 1982–83 instead of 1982-83). Also, Division I only existed after 1973; before that, it was known as the University Division. Thanks! Pats1 ^T/C 21:32, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, how exactly do want to categorize before 1973, I probably won't come to this for a little time though.--Levineps (talk) 21:35, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Over-categorizations

Please explain what is and what is not your definition of over-categorization, since we are not understanding each other and are apparently working at cross-purposes. -- Foofighter20x (talk) 07:34, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basically when a parent category and subcat are in the same article and the former isn't as relevant. But it is not an exact science.--Levineps (talk) 07:36, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Can you explain then why U.S. House and U.S. Senate are relevant cats for EC? Point is, I can't perceive any consistency in these categorization edits you are making, and you aren't explaining or justifying them in your summary block comments. Additionally, certain categories you are including could be perceived as a POV/bias, such as putting Southern U.S. as a category on states' rights. -- Foofighter20x (talk) 08:01, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't make these categories, im just editing them. You can cherry pick all you want, but I do as consistently as I can.--Levineps (talk) 12:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So can I return Andrew Jackson to the Presidents of the U.S. cat or does it get inherited from the current cat in a way I don't understand? Alatari (talk) 01:46, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NO- Theres a 20th century category so it's been simplified, if not your listing all the Presidents in two different places

History museums in Manhattan

Hey - there's been a lot of work in this space and the current consensus appears to be Category:History museums in New York and Category:Museums in Manhattan, not to try combining them. Further discussion at WP:MUSEUM dm (talk) 02:33, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems you're having similar conversations below, yet you didn't respond here. so I moved the single article you had moved to "Hmim" back up to "HmiNY" and "MiM".

Removal of Category from Lehigh University

Hi,

You popped up on my watchlist after removing the "Patriot League" category from the Lehigh University article [5]. I'm just leaving you a message because I'm a little curious as to why you removed that category (you didn't leave an edit summary). Lehigh is a member of the Patriot League so at least to me it makes sense it should be included in the category, unless I'm missing something (which is quite possible..I'm not too familiar with how categories work). Thanks. --Aka042 (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does not pertain to athletics, but the university as a whole. Also, not every other college i the league is listed there.--Levineps (talk) 16:50, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had noticed the lack of college listings on that page. However, after browsing most of the leagues in College athletics conferences, it seems like the actually universities themselves are listed on the Conference subcategories (for example, just starting from the top of the list, see Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, America East Conference, etc.). Looking at the Patriot League article, specifically Patriot League#Full members, the universities themselves are listed as members as opposed to the teams. I see what you are saying and it makes sense...I don't feel strongly either way but it just seems like there should be some sort of standard regarding what actually gets included in each conference's category (teams, universities, or both), but I'm not sure where to really go to try to establish that. --Aka042 (talk) 17:08, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't agree more, I think it should be kept to sports related unless their somehow pertaining to the league--Levineps (talk) 18:11, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Categories (Again)

Hi, You showed up on my watchlist again for the changes [6] you made to The Rivalry (Lehigh-Lafayette). I have reverted this edit because I strongly disagree with the categories you removed. For example, why would you remove Category:Lehigh University but keep Category:Lafayette College? The rivalry is not a football-only event and in fact extends to all sports teams at the universities and is an important part of student life (The first and second sentence of the article make this clear). It's seen to be one of the most important weeks at both universities. --Aka042 (talk) 23:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then it should be under the athletics article but not under both a parent and subcat and subsequent subcats.--Levineps (talk) 02:40, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I actually have the same issue with the articles you've been removing from Category:University of Dayton. That category includes all 18 or so UD articles, and the ones you're removing are disassociating articles from one another. You've removed eight, leaving 10 still in the category. If anything, the subcategory Dayton Flyers is pointless because of the small number of articles in the main category. Newsboy85 (talk) 09:35, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a sports category for almost every major college program. It's part of a greater general scheme of things.--Levineps (talk) 14:58, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That still doesn't explain this edit, which seems to remove a number of useful - and not redundant - categorizations. As for Category:Dayton Flyers, I would not consider a subcategory with three pages in it to constitute a "major college program." I would consider it to be a useless category and the perfect example of the overcategorization you seem to be trying to fight. This isn't Texas or OSU. I'm going to remove the page Category:Dayton Flyers altogether and move Category:Dayton Flyers basketball and Category:Dayton Flyers football to the root Category:University of Dayton, then restore the UD category to the pages you removed it from. This seems to be a happy medium of killing a category and maintaining the integrity of Category:University of Dayton. Newsboy85 (talk) 18:35, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All of those you mentioned fall under athletics, Dayton is a D-I program. Even other mid-majors have their own athletics categories.--Levineps (talk) 18:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then that's a useless way of doing it. We do not need a separate category for three pages. It makes the system overly complex and confusing for users. I don't really care if that's how it is done for other schools. At this point, it is not a useful division for the UD pages. Newsboy85 (talk) 18:51, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think were just going to have to agree to disagree, obviously i'm guessing your a UD alum or you have special connection to the school.--Levineps (talk) 19:41, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately your idea of agree to disagree seems to be do it your way and forget about it. I'm offering a compromise here to remove a category and keep the existing continuity. And none of this addresses why you made this edit. Newsboy85 (talk) 20:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let's be democratic, make it a discussion and see what the public has to say on this topic.--Levineps (talk) 20:14, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how that would yield anything useful other than wasting everyone's time. I just don't understand why you view tiny subcategories as preferable to a single category that already contains a relatively small number of pages. There's a place for parallel structure, but not when it leads to overly complex systems. Adding more categories just turns the category system into spaghetti. If your goal is to simplify the category system, this seems to be a counterproductive way of doing it. That's why I don't understand your objection to just killing Category:Dayton Flyers altogether. Newsboy85 (talk) 20:56, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Levineps, I've expressed some concerns in the past regarding some of the categories you've created, as have others. (I still have a concern about the extreme underpopulation of Category:American black and white films when compared to Category:Black and white films, but never mind.) Now I'm starting to receive complaints from other editors asking me to do something about the problem. You ask that we be democratic, but it seems when you receive multiple complaints, that's pretty much what we're doing. There seems to be developing a broad consensus that some of your category creations are inappropriate at this point. I know you think this is "cherry picking", but unfortunately if a category is a problem, it's a problem, regardless of how many other categories you have created. I suggest that maybe you could focus on something else other than category creation for a bit. When you get multiple users saying the same kind of things—that you're creating categories that are too finely distinguished—I think that's a pretty good sign that something needs to change. If you're not responsive to our requests, we really have no option but to either ignore our concerns or take the concerns to a higher level, which probably no one really wants to do. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 21:17, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think some people are just overly sensitive to their categories, others are not familiar with overcatergorization, or the greater good (with regards to college sports programs, teams seasons, etc). Nonetheless, I've taken these suggestions to heart and have tried to improve. Just because your "complaining" does not mean your "right."--Levineps (talk) 21:23, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course there are differing opinions on every matter that arises, but on Wikipedia we are all governed by consensus. You can't just shrug off what others consistently tell you because you happen to disagree. Right now I see a consensus of concern about your category creation. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 21:25, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's true but Wikipedia is also governed by rules, not just consensus.--Levineps (talk) 21:27, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and the rules are formed by consensus. But in any case, I don't see any particular "rules" that are in question here. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 21:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you're trying to be helpful, Levineps, and I agree that having any single page in both a root category and an associated subcategory is probably redundant. But when there are less than 20 articles in the root category, I feel the better course of action is to eliminate the subcategory rather than separate a small group of articles into two even smaller group of articles. It makes it confusing from both a user's point of view and from an organizational point of view. Newsboy85 (talk) 21:53, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think our main disagreement is that Newsboy wants to keep as much of the Dayton category intact as possible, while I am trying to get all the sports articles together like similar college sports articles are sectioned by team.--Levineps (talk) 21:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And if there were as many articles in Category:University of Dayton as there are in Category:University of Southern California, I would agree with you. But, in my opinion, the UD section of Wikipedia is just not extensive enough to warrant this. Newsboy85 (talk) 22:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see where your coming from, I also think you will eventually get more of U of D articles when they win as many championships as USC--Levineps (talk) 22:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And that would be an excellent time to create Category:Dayton Flyers. But as it stands now, I see it as overly complicated. Don't ask me where the tipping point is to create more subcategories, but USC is at 90 in the root, and they seem to be doing OK. Like I said before, there is a place for parallel structure, but not at the expense of ease of use. I don't see parallel structure as the most important consideration. Newsboy85 (talk) 22:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and put the UD category back on the articles. I'll also clean up the subcategories system for the UD articles. Thanks for your contribution, as it did point out to me that some cleanup was necessary, but it's just too early to be subdividing in this way. Newsboy85 (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I am happy to see you saw my point as I saw yours, I think it's a fair compromise.--Levineps (talk) 17:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, you just intend on carrying on? I see you're still creating categories as this discussion goes on. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 21:39, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you let me know what you're intention is, with respect to these recent discussions? Do you just disagree with us that there is a problem at all? I ask because you are still creating similar categories. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:09, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I said my piece above, there's not much more to say.--Levineps (talk) 03:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just interested in what you think we should do from here—I do want to give you a chance to acknowledge that there is a problem/dispute so it can be worked through with the various editors. (I don't think you should just ignore the concerns or pretend that you are right and that other editors are wrong, which is what you suggested above.) Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to sugarcoat anything, I will work only to create categories when necessary. But I do read all these comments and I hope I become a better person from it.--Levineps (talk) 03:25, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So ... I'm not clear on what that means in practical terms as to where we go from here. Are you interested in discussing the broader issues with some concerned editors? Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:33, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:United States Supreme Court opinions by justice, 2005

Maybe not a bad idea to group these together by term, but I think a better name would be Category:Lists of 2005 term opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States by justice. A little wordy, but if you don't specify that it's by term, which is how the lists are organized, it implies that it's by calendar year. And these categories are just for lists, which should always be spelled out in the category name. With your consent (as the category's only author), I'll rename it myself and we should make sure all such future categories follow the same naming pattern. postdlf (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2006 United States Supreme Court cases

Please do me a favor and don't create any more of these. I know you're trying to be helpful, but dividing this category by year really hinders navigation, and well-organized chronological lists of opinions exist if people want to go that route. I've tried twice to talk to you about other SCOTUS categories you've created and got no response, so I'm just going to go ahead and list this at CFD. I trust there will be no further such categories, at least not until we've had a discussion, preferably at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases. postdlf (talk) 09:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think breaking it up by year makes it easier to understand the chronology of the decisions. Sorry for not getting back to you earlier--Levineps (talk) 13:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. As I consider voting on the question of a community ban against you, can you tell me if you are trying to serve some other purpose than simply breaking large categories into snack-size bites? Are you trying to make some statement about the diaspora, for example? There may be some better way to source and state what you feel these edits mean. Or is this simply an unspecific obsession to reshuffle categories project-wide despite what anybody says about it? Because the evidence presented at the ANI — I'd note the gardener/farmer thing — suggests the latter. I wasn't kidding when I said "Help me understand." But they're not kidding when they say there has to be some rhyme or reason with the way an encyclopedia is laid out. Do you have a reason for all of these changes — and are you willing to articulate that to your editorial colleagues here — or is this pretty much just a you're gonna do whatever you want for no big reason until someone takes you down kind of thing? Either everybody in that thread is not getting something about you they ought to be getting, or you fail to get a great deal about how this works here. The discussions we've been trying to have with you could help that misunderstanding, if you would participate in them. As it's going, you're starting to look like a vandal here. If you don't like that, you could change it. Abrazame (talk) 10:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with subcategories

Please be careful about edits like this. You not only removed the article from any connection to Category:American journalists except through the state specific category, but you also tied her journalism career to the wrong state. No one would look for a New York Times writer in "California journalists," nor do any of the periodicals mentioned in the article appear to be tied to California, or any state for that matter.

Other occupation by state categories use the form "[occupation] from [state]", to emphasize that it's the individual's background that is being categorized, not where the occupation was conducted. What were you trying to do here?

You also didn't put Category:American journalists by state in the right parent; it should go in Category:American people by occupation by state. Did you know that category existed? Did you know that there was already a Category:American writers by state, but which is not subdivided into particular forms of writing?

Another observation: this edit was careless. Yes, Coulter is a political columnist, but she does not exclusively write columns as a political writer, nor do most political writers, who also write political books. You've created and applied Category:American political columnists without apparent understanding or regard for actual article content. I'm going to list it for upmerging at CFD. Incidentally, you also removed a completely unrelated category from this article when you added yours.

I know you're trying to be helpful, but your category edits just seem hastily made and not well thought out in terms of the larger structure and particular needs of each article. Making categories more and more specific is not always a good thing. If done improperly, it just creates a mess for other people to clean up. Perhaps you should take a breath and discuss any new categories you want to create, with the people who actually work on the articles that would be affected? postdlf (talk) 06:12, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And this edit makes no sense. How exactly are writers only a subgroup of journalists? I don't mean to pick on you, but this is really a problem. postdlf (talk) 06:33, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think writers were part of Texas culture.--Levineps (talk) 06:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second opinion

Levineps, that reply to Postdlf is both gratuitously offensive to Texans and an unhelpfully flippant response to an editor who has tried in good faith to discuss with you some concerns about your editing, and has done so with great civility.

There are currently several simultaneous discussions at WP:CFD relating to categories created by you, and it seems likely so far that most of them will be deleted. There have been also been several other discussions on this talk page, where other editors have expressed concern both about your creation of categories and about the way in which you populate categories.

I too want to believe that you are trying to be helpful, but the nature of your responses so far strains at my ability to sustain the assumption of good faith. Several editors are now expressing concern about your categorisation work, both because they believe it to be mistaken and because reverting inappropriate categorisation is a time-consuming process.

It should be clear to you at this stage there is at best a question-mark over whether your categorisations have consensus support, and possibly an emerging consensus that they do not. You have been asked very politely to refrain from further categorisation of articles or creation of categories while further discussions take place, and I want to ask you again to please do that — in your interest as well as in everyone else's.

It quite often happens on wikipedia that an editor is pursuing an approach which is contested, and that's when we stop and discuss further to try to build consensus. That's very much what I would like to see happen here, because consensus is fundamental to how wikipedia operates.

Please please please please please please please do this. Stop and discuss, and I'm sure we'll all find an amicable solution.

But if you continue to create categories which go straight to CFD, and categorise articles in a way which is widely contested, then you will be heading down a path where editors will describe your editing as disruptive and/or tendentious. That route can eventually lead to block and bans, and I really don't want to see that happening to you.

Hi Levineps

I see that you were busy editing after I posted my comment above, and I am disappointed that you didn't reply, but hopefully you will respond next time you are online.

I just wanted to say that since I posted, I have been reading more of the earlier discussions on this talk page, and I realise that the situation is more advanced than I had thought, because it seems that the problems I am spotting now have been raised with you by other editors over several weeks. One of them has suggested that it is already time to open an RFC/U on your editing, which as you may be aware could be a preliminary step to imposing restrictions.

As far as I can see, all your edits since I posted above have involved categories ... and given the concerns that now exist, I really think it is very unwise of you to do that. Please reconsider my request for a moratorium.

Another point: whatever form of editing you are doing, it's very important to use edit summaries, so that other editors can see what was done without having to open the diff. However, I can see no edit summaries any any of your recent edits, except those generated automatically by the software, and when your editing is under scrutiny that's something which makes life difficult for other editors ... which is not good news for you, because at this point in the proceedings, it's unwise to alienate people. To avoid accidentally leaving edit summaries blank, you can select "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" on the Editing tab of your user preferences — that way you will get a reminder if you try saving a page without an edit summary.

Best wishes, --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop or convince us your categorization edits are constructive

Levineps, would you please stop your category edits? I imagine you are acting in good faith, and believe you are doing the right thing, but clearly from the various discussions on this talk page the consensus is that you should stop.

In some cases you have created inappropriate categories. In other cases you have applied inappropriate categories created by someone else, which is equally inappropriate to the creation of the inappropriate category.

Just because a category exists doesn't mean it is appropriate to use it, especially if application of the category is not substantiated by a cited reference from a reliable source. For example, in the article Lou Adler, you recently replaced "Category:American Jews" with "Category:American Sephardic Jews". Similarly, in the same article, you replaced "Category:Mexican Americans" with "Category:Mexican American Jews". Although there is an uncited mention in the article that Adler is of Jewish heritage, there is no citation substantiating that Adler is a Jew, let alone a Sephardic Jew.

Please read the WP guideline Overcategorization. In particular, read Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. This WP guideline states, "Dedicated group-subject subcategories...should only be created where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right...Likewise, people should only be categorized by ethnicity or religion if this has significant bearing on their career."

According to WP:BLPCAT, "Categories regarding religious beliefs...should not be used unless two criteria are met:

1. The subject publicly self-identifies with the belief...in question;

2. The subject's beliefs...are relevant to the subject's notable activities or public life, according to reliable published sources.

The Adler article fails to meet these criteria.

Is the combination of "Mexican-American" and "Jewish" recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right? No. What's next, Mexican American Jewish Bisexuals?
Is there a cited reference stating that Adler publicly self-identifies as being Jewish? No.
Are Adler's religious beliefs relevant to his notable activities or public life, according to reliable published sources? No.

The Adler article is just one example; I have seen you make similar uncited category edits and apply inappropriately created categories to other articles I watch.

I and many others (who have added remarks to this talk page) strongly believe you should stop your categorization edits, and we have provided convincing arguments to substantiate our position. If you feel you are justified in continuing, would you please reply with a substantive discussion on the constructive benefits of your categorization edits, and how they can be justified given the points I and others have made on this page? If you continue without providing such a justification that is successful in altering the current consensus, I recommend that you be banned; but I hope you take these remarks to heart and that it does not come to that. Good luck, hulmem (talk) 04:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You do need to stop and address the concerns set out above rather than continuing with more edits to category space. Seriously. When you don't respond and just carry on, it looks like you are ignoring the concerns of others. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 05:17, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive categorizing for U.S. political conventions

For the record, I believe all of the categories you created under Category:United States presidential nominating conventions by year, such as Category:United States presidential nominating conventions, 1932, Category:United States presidential nominating conventions, 1936, Category:United States presidential nominating conventions, 1940, ... up to Category:United States presidential nominating conventions, 2008, are unnecessary. Most of these have exactly two entries (the Democratic and Republican ones for that year) and will never have more. A few have three or four entries due to some minor party conventions. Others have a couple of what I think are incorrect entries, for things that were not conventions but instead were associated with conventions (see Category:United States presidential nominating conventions, 1968 for example). I think all these categories are in violation of WP:OC#SMALL, which says "Avoid categories that, by their very definition, will never have more than a few members". But I'm not going to file CfD's on this, it's way too much work to undo 20 categories. Wasted Time R (talk) 17:14, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with all of the criticisms by Wasted Time R, but I have put in the time to make a CFD nomination.

Please stop, NOW

Quick message, longer one to follow.

In the last hour, you have removed a long list of categories from one or more of their parent categories, and those I have checked so far look bizarre, e.g.

But, seriously: ENOUGH.

In the last few days, at last five different editors have asked you stop editing categories and recategorising articles, but you have either failed to reply or replied flippantly. Since you have continued to edit [8] after having replied to this warning, I will now ask for you to be blocked. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:22, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too late for agument -- i am now just rolling back all your edits. But go read jurist: "Within the legal community usage of "jurist" is usually restricted to eminent judges or academics. Apart from this people working in law are usually described as "lawyers" or solicitors if they are practicing law, or as belonging to a more specific branch of the legal profession, such as barrister or advocate, judge or law professor. Less qualified professionals may be referred to as paralegals or legal executives."

Banned

Per WP:RESTRICT and User:Levineps/Community sanction:

“ Levineps (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely banned from creating new categories, and re-categorizing either existing categories or articles. Levineps is required to not mark his edits as minor, as he has used this flag disruptively. He is also required to use manually written edit summaries for all of his edits, outside of the talk space. He is not allowed to remove warnings or notices from his talk page, or anywhere else they are posted. A 1RR per day restriction is also imposed, due to his disruptive reverting. If he fails to comply with these requirements, he will be blocked indefinitely and his edits can be reverted without question. Levineps is reminded that he free to propose any category changes on any talk page for others to implement. He is also reminded that he can appeal this sanction only via a formal community proposal, or by emailing ArbCom. ”

Any edits that do not comply with these restrictions, will result in a block, and the edits may be reverted without question. --Coffee // have a cup // ark // 18:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As per the suggestion at ANI, I'm happy to put together a transcluded box that lists the specific terms and link it to your userpage in an accessible, but non-overbearing way. See this as an example. We have found previously this is the best way to ensure everyone is on the same page with regards to what is, and what is not, under restriction. Do you have objections to this, Levineps?

I can imagine. I have created a collapsed box, at User:Levineps/terms. If this is acceptable to both you and Coffee, I'll transclude it to your user page for the duration these sanctions are imposed. You will note I explicitly listed two "permissions", that Coffee did not identify. Those are:

Permitting the routine archiving of talk pages. This permits you to keep your page a reasonable length without being penalized for "removing" old warnings.
Permitting you more that 1RR on your own talk and user space (pursuant to the restrictions on removing warnings/notices). This permits you reasonable control of your own space, and permits you to remove vandalism (but not good faith warnings or notices).

I think these are reasonable, and should protect you from lawyering. Should I go ahead and add this? Rockpocket 23:39, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per Coffee's thumbs up, I've gone ahead and added this. If there is any disputes or queries about interpreting these sanctions, I'd be happy to offer an uninvolved, third party opinion. Just drop me a message on the talk page. Otherwise, good luck, Levineps, I hope in time you are able to sort these issues out and have the sanctions removed.

Removal of Racism in the United States: See also?

Hi Levineps,

Thanks for your recent spelling corrections to Racism in the United States!

However, why did you remove the See also section? There were numerous useful links in there not referenced in the rest of the article, so I’ve restored it. I understand that some editors prefer for See also sections to be integrated into the text (and the See also section was certainly long), while others believe there is value for a separate See also section, but if a link is not integrated into the text, it should certainly not be removed.

This is how I understand procedure – perhaps you could explain your thinking?

Thanks, and happy edits!

Musical disambigs

Hi Levineps, I really think you should be seeking consensus before doing all these musical disambig moves. Movie award or not, when I think of Guys and Dolls, I think of the musical, and I'd say that's true of most people - meaning that Guys and Dolls should be a primary topic. Now, I'm no musical expert, so I'm dropping a note at the Musical WikiProject about this. Please, these are big moves; seek consensus first! --JaGa^talk 12:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fair enough and will do--Levineps (talk) 13:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. There is a discussion about this at WP:MUSICALS, and the consensus seems to be that the musicals should remain the primary topic, if the musical was produced first, and the film was an adaptation of the musical. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:34, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, is that why some musicals are listed with that in their title and others aren't?Levineps (talk) 15:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think consistency in these names is that important, although I agree that it would be better for musicals to be treated as the primary topic where the musical came first. My advice: Don't worry so much about changing article names, categories or other organizational work. Get involved in research and good writing and build the encyclopedia. It's much more fun than trying to force people to use a particular name or category. It also keeps one out of trouble. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:24, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Crude language

I understand you feel strongly about stuff, but ... I question whether it is necessary for you to use f*** words in edit summaries or otherwise. It does you no credit and will not benefit you. Kittybrewster ☎ 20:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your thread on ANI

Per the discussion at ANI, the consensus shows that you are now banned from page moves as well. I was the ONLY dissenter in the discussion. I have edited the info box that shows your sanctions to reflect the new consensus. I would suggest that you engage in an area that needs help with consensus building. Try checking out WP:RFC. There are many RFC noticeboards where people are begging for uninvolved eyes to give their opinions. Try checking out the New Page Patrol. They always have a crazy back log that you could really help with. It is a great way to get involved in the project.

I know things like this can be discouraging. I hope it doesn't drive you from the site. We want your contributions and we all want you to find a place here where you can contribute the most good.

If I can help in any way please leave me a message on my talk page, and I will respond to you there. Thanks --Adam in MO Talk 08:00, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course the block was bullshit, besides being in violation of my "ban," my edits were not disruptive in any way. Some people on here, really need to grow up.--Levineps (talk) 20:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you think the block is bullshit, request an unblock. I agree someone needs to grow up. That person is you. The community has said time and time again that we are not comfortable with you moving pages or creating categories. You think your actions are fine, no one else does. If you cannot find it in you to have the maturity to respect the community's wishes, perhaps it is time for you to find another outlet for your online activities. AniMate 20:51, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have to wonder, does Levine not have the vaguest clue what "ban" means? Here's what it means: It means NO. I'm on an interaction ban with another user. It doesn't mean I can interact if I think it's harmless. IT MEANS NO. A violation will result in a block, another violation will result in a longer block. Much more than that would be an indefinite block, which is not good at all. NO MEANS NO. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:55, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Mike Bohn has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Student life at Georgetown University

What's up with splitting off this section? Especially without any discussion first? I disagree that it makes the article too long. This has statistics and information vital to the comprehensiveness of article, which is necessary to maintain it at Featured Article status. The length of the article and of this section were never brought up in the various peer reviews, in GAN, or FAC. What gives? I see the editors of the UCF reacted by reverting this same sort of splitting without discussion earlier today, and unless you provide a measured explanation for this action, that's exactly what I'll do as well.-- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 17:09, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Chicago Cardinals

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of History of the Chicago Cardinals, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://sacramento.craigslist.org/fud/2773971281.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:30, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. :) It's perfectly fine to copy content from one article to another, but our content is no more public domain than material you find elsewhere on the web. It actually is an infringement of copyright to copy material without meeting the licensing requirements. Fortunately, these are pretty easy to meet. All you have to do is put a note in the edit summary indicating that you've copied the content and from where; language such as this is sufficient: content copied from [[source]], which see for attribution. It's also good practice to use Template:Copied on the talk pages of the articles when copying is extensive. I'll fix the attribution issues with this article. If you've copied content from one article to another before, even if it was a long time ago, please add the attribution to make it all legal and policy compliant. :) You can read more about the processes and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see on looking back at your talk page that you've been notified of this before. Maybe it wasn't properly explained to you at the time why you must attribute. This is a practice with legal implications, required to comply with our site's Terms of Use. You must follow it if you copy content from one article to another. Please make sure that you meet the legal requirements when you reuse content authored by others. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Messers Levineps and Sirberus,
If you care to examine the talk page history of this page, you will see that this discussion has been held before. You will see that you have, like I did, advocated the use of "notable" in the page name. However, I was "over-ruled". It will be interesting to see if you are.

CWS Edits

Before I talk about this elsewhere, and ask for some direction, I have to ask, why all the sudden, random, meandering title edits on the College World Series page right in the middle of the tourney and with a couple of us having to defend the place against vandalism 24/7 as it is? I don't get your motivation or your editing style quite honestly, so I'm hoping for a reasonable explanation in advance of the reverts. Scrooster (talk) 21:30, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of List of Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Tournament Finals broadcasters

The article List of Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Tournament Finals broadcasters has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not clear why this (or most similar articles) would be a notable list subject. Every sports event that is televized has a broadcaster, generally this gets briefly reported but is hardly the topic of significant attention. 37 lists of US men's college basketball tournament broadcasters seems like about 30 too many (the finals and perhaps a few others are probably notable list subjects).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proposed deletion of First Look (TV program)

The article First Look (TV program) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to be notable, nothing found in a BEFORE. Tagged for notability since 2022

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
