Template:Userify

Actually we already have a template by what was the common name for the procedure of moving pages to the userspace. This template, Template:Userfy (note the missing 'i'), is supposed to go on articles that need userfication. Perhaps you can rename yours to something like Template:Userfy user or something similar to indicate it should go on the user's talk page. If you want to discuss this further, please go to User talk:MacGyverMagic (I was too lazy to log in) :) - 131.211.210.14 08:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful

Your edit effectively accusing South Korea of being an apartheid state in Hines Ward was pretty offensive. But I guess it's to be expected of one 'proud to be politically incorrect'.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.58.195 (talk • contribs)

I only said it because it's true. Quoting directly from the source, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "This is a centuries-old problem that predates the Korean War and the subsequent military presence there, something that gave rise to Hines Ward Jr. in 1976. South Korea is a nation with a vise-tight social registry and a blood-is-destiny conviction. Mixed-race children there continue to find doors shut in their different faces. And their numbers continue to rise, as women flee rural areas for the cities and cause farmers to marry natives from once-rival Asian nations, such as China and Vietnam. Fifteen percent of South Korea's babies in 2005 were of mixed parentage."--M @r ē ino 13:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure where to put the template, since WP:BIO states: "If the article doesn't make any claim of notability, you can add the {{nn-warn}} notice to their article or user page" and that's why I put it on the article page. Maybe that should be updated. Rishodi 06:23, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transhumanism

Sure, let's talk about my decision. My reasoning is this. In case you didn't know I deleted that template along with it's counterpart Template:User anti-transhumanist. What happened was I saw one of them on a user page, checked WP:UB and found that there was a pro- and anti-transhumanism userbox. The existence of the two, seen side by side, was convincing evidence that they served a polarizing (or "divisive" as the CSD is worded) existence. Neither of them helps to generate encyclopedia content, so, whle I don't claim that holding either point of view is offensive, I do think that since, as you say, it is a controversial issue which makes both of them divisive, and encouraging the possible promotion of harmful editing blocs. In fact, I think that if you really feel you must express your opinion on the matter, you can just put the text on your userpage, not in a template, and it's at least better then the userbox. I hope this makes sense. :-) Dmcdevit·t 02:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, hope that's where you wanted it. Thanks for your understanding. :) Dmcdevit·t 02:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dmcdevit forgot to tell you that the very deltion of the userboxes is controversial in itself, and that there is a way to request their undeletion. Please see and vote at: Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Userbox_debates#Template:User_transhumanist_and_Template:User_anti-transhumanist.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 23:03, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How does this differ from any userbox... such as the division between male and female, those who like the Frog and those who dont? Dmcdevit... your logic would suggest ALL of these other userboxes, and potentialy any user box (as the purpose of any user box is to state a choice and thus seperates you from those who dont agree with that choice) Enigmatical 00:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Including a dangerous userboxes like 'this user is an admin' (divisive! not everyone is!), 'this user is a Wikipedian' (99,9% of Earth population is not!), and 'this user is a content creator' (not all Wikipedians are content creators...). Need I go any further?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 04:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- This was a very unwise action. We've just been through a bitter war over this very issue of mass deletion of userboxes that express religious, political, philosophical, etc., viewpoints. There is no need to begin the war again. Metamagician3000 02:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - The person who did it seems like someone who is normally sensible. I wonder whether it is worth having another attempt to reason with him/her. E.g. "User feminist" recently survived. But someone could easily create "User anti-feminist" (and this may well have happened in the past for all I know). I don't see how the non-aggressive statement that you subscribe to a particular philosophical position, such as feminism or transhumanism, can suddenly be divisive just because someone creates a userbox saying that they oppose that position. The latter act might be divisive but I just don't see how the first one is. If it were, many accepted userboxes would now have to be considered divisive. Metamagician3000 02:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've now done so here. Metamagician3000 05:13, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Thank you for the edit, I think it is correct and useful, but as the article has experienced many edit and revert wars, and a strong "pact" was agreeded, we had to revert any edit in the header that hadn't any written argument deffending it, and because your edit wasn't supported by a note in the talk, i had to revert it, please don't intend this like a personal attack, but i think it was necessary to keep "peace" (or let an ultranationalist to start trolling you because of your edit).

User No Recycling

G'day Mareino,

thanks for your polite query. I deleted the template {{User No Recycling}} because I believe, a) it adds nothing to the encyclopaedia, b) it is unnecessarily divisive and inflammatory, c) it does not belong in the Template: namespace. The template clearly falls within the speedy deletion criteria, so I deleted it. Yes, it has been restored in the past: first, in early January, when there was no policy defence for deleting userboxen and admins were out deleting and restoring everything under the sun, and then again in March. The March restoration was carried out by Guanaco (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), who was brought before ArbCom and de-sysopped as a result of his behaviour restoring userboxen inappropriately. I don't think either case is relevant to this one.

You mention that the template has led to some discussion of recycling issues, with the net result being an improvement of our recycling-related articles. That's great, and evidence that userboxen aren't completely useless. Good show. I suspect a userbox written to refer directly to editing (rather than a statement of one's politics) would, however, be more useful in this sense. Have you considered "This user is interested in recycling issues" or "This user participates in recycling-related articles" or something along those lines as an alternative? I believe this would give you all the benefits of the current userbox, with none of the drawbacks.

Of course, if, at the end of the day, you absolutely disagree with me and want the userbox back as-is, feel free to take it to DRV. Thanks, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 16:14, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Future Engineers

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Future Engineers, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! Mango juice^talk 15:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Separation Template

You said separation&action=history in your recent revert that "according to WP:CSD, 'the second criterion is disputed by many users and may not reflect consensus.'"; unfortunately, the exact same thing could be said about the first criterion. :) Both were forced upon the userbase with absolutely 0 discussion, with no attempt to gather consensus, and with no adherence to usual policy-establishing process: both were merely added by anti-userbox admins and kept there through sheer force and persistence. The only difference between T1 and T2 is that Jimbo has specifically endorsed the first, but most of Wikipedia's policies haven't been specifically endorsed by Jimbo.

In the end, though, while I agree with you that it's unfair, I'm afraid that there is simply no choice here. If you don't want {{User:UBX/separation}} to be altered slightly, it will be deleted. The only reason I edited it was to avoid that inevitability by simply rewording it. If you'd rather it was simply gone forever, then I won't fight you over it. -Silence 23:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I reverted myself.--M @r ē ino 01:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks. Better than a delete. And once things are up and working with raw-code userboxes, hopefully we'll be able to put the original version up on the page in untemplatified format, since it's not the POV-expressing userbox's appearance, but the raw code (i.e. the non-substed template, especially when it's in Templatespace), that most people object to. -Silence 01:37, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dozens of Edits

I saw your comment about "making dozens of edits" to the Ann Coulter article. Good work. Maybe you can help me with something related: I'm fairly new, but IMHO I make good contributions to the work. Often I will make a large edit to an article, carefully previewing my drafts until everything is as I want it. Then I click Save Page and review the final article. Sometimes I'll discover a typo or something tiny like that, and fix it. At that point, only the correction of the typo shows up on my watchlist; the larger edit is no longer shown. That's fine by me, but I'm wondering if others also only see the most recent (tiny) correction. If so, nasty people could make big controversial/vandalizing changes, then camouflage them by making a tiny uncontroversial one.

I've been wondering how this works, and maybe you can shed some light on it. Lou Sander 14:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An Incovenient Truth

I have added a line in the article, "Currently, every version of this documentary that can be downloaded online is fake," in order to stop people from trying to download this film online. If they do download them and find them fake, they may be so tired that they would not be willing to know anything more about this film. It is also important to know that those fake files contain viruses. Letting people know that the files are fake is a way of protecting them. (See User_talk:ILike2BeAnonymous#Message_for_you...)

Comments from CFD

Hi there Mareino. With regard to your comments on Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_June_18#Category:Multiracial_people, I think you misunderstood what I meant. I didn't say that the U.S. census was unverifiable, but instead that the use of such criteria was arbitrary "and this is unverifiable."

I wasn't so clear on what I meant by "this": what I meant was not the census criteria, but the application of these criteria to the subject of a Wikipedia article. In other words, it might be difficult to verify that the subject of a Wikipedia article qualifies as "multiracial" under U.S. census criteria.

By "arbitrary", I meant that I felt that the use a U.S.-government specified definition of "multiraciality" was non-neutral. Though it's too late now, I do agree that your proposed definition (Americans who are listed in two distinct "race" categories in Wikipedia) is neutral enough.

As to your comments about trying to improve the category before deleting it, I do see your point, though at the time I couldn't conceive of a suitably neutral definition (as you did in your reply). --Saforrest 23:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That makes much more sense -- I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't interpret your reasoning correctly the first time around. I wasn't around for the last time that there was a general review of the guidelines on racial categories, but it seems like it should be reviewed again. Any CFD on the issue generates lots of ill will that I think would be greatly lessened if we could just agree on how to apply the basic principles of research to this socially sensitive area.--M @r ē ino 23:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So should you. Re-read the news, the company is staying in Spain. --M @r ē ino 22:45, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is staying in Spain, but now the capitals are not spanish, isntead they are italians. Like Coca-Cola, in every country there is a Coca-Cola factory, even though the company is multinational, and not from the country where the factory is.--Uruguayo 22:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's not the right way to think about it. This is a better analogy: Coca Cola UK is a British company owned by an American company. Chupa still has all the rights and obligations given to non-person Spaniards under Spanish and EU law.--M @r ē ino 23:00, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Breaches of policy

Accusing people of racism for disagreeing with you on a categorisation matter is a very serious breach of Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Choalbaton 01:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
