Castlevania series template

Hey, I've noticed you trying to moderate the Castlevania series template often and trying to prevent that edit war that just broke out. I was hoping that you would read this and offer your opinion so that hopefully everyone can come to a reasonable agreement. Byakuya Truelight (talk) 07:52, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. When you recently edited 225th Street, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Marble Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Lapel-less Jackets

So, references number 5, 8, 9, 10 y 13, should also be delete, because are blogs, message board, etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palacesblowlittle (talk • contribs) 22:18, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, those are websites published and maintained by known style figures, published authors, and fashion experts. More importantly, they are focused, specific references that directly support the exact claim being made, and discuss historical trends. They are not a mosh-mash collection of unconnected elements being used to prove a point based on original interpretations of recent events. Your butcher job editting is petulant and childish. oknazevad (talk) 00:57, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, you are inconsistent, especially about "Ghillie collared" jacket (which is not a novelty, a.k.a prussian collar and storm collar, google it!), and the references from "Dress with style" (which clearly say the jacket has no lapel), which is as prestigious as "Ask Andy" and "suitable wardrobe" (which is another reference to this topic, and you keep their references in the others sections). I would accept the statements i made about the V shape lapelless jackets could be classified as original research, therefore i won't insist. I delete the picture of the "origin" section because it is used to try to demonstrate an afirmation of the section that is not sourced (in fact almost all the section is not). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palacesblowlittle (talk • contribs) 01:25, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objection to a passing mention of the ghillie/Prussian collar (though isn't that what a Mao suit has?), with a single, focused reference. Leave off the bit about the self-admitted original research, and we're good. As for the image, it's pretty self-obvious that it's a lapel, so per WP:BLUE, I don't think it needs to be removed. (The actual history is covered in the books in the bibliography, so is sourced, even if the reference formatting could be improved. oknazevad (talk) 01:39, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly the view is very similar to mao suit, but there is a good objection to be considered as such and that is the historical origin, prussian is clearly of European origin, and the Mao suit, well rise as a result of the two Chinese revolutions. Therefore it would be too forced to consider them synonymous. I tried to add a statement like this "the presence of the lapels create the V-shaped effect in the jacket, so that creates the illusion in the viewer of broader shoulders and narrower waist", i couldn't find any expert that claims in a express way, though he suggested in a tangencial one, I think it's because it's a very obvious and no one is interested to highlight. Recentism is not a issue per se, and because i define me as inclusionist i considered to include the item in dispute, as a way to compile all the existing reality, but I'll wait for the theme is mature or at least someone authorized properly analyze the issue. In that case I will indicate it as a simple statement and as you submitted as a focused reference. i do not attempt to angry you, it is clear that this has been in good faith and and aiming at enriching the encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palacesblowlittle (talk • contribs) 16:57, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

True about the origin of the Mao suit (though it may be influenced by European military fashion), but the article is about the collar and lapels specifically, and a Mao suit has a what's known as a "stand-and-fall" or "turndown" collar, which is the same as a Prussian or ghillie collar. But a short mention of various synonyms would be okay.Likewise referring to the stand/band//choker/Mandarin collar of the Nehru jacket by its various names. After all, all three lapels have multiple names listed. oknazevad (talk) 19:14, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I slightly modified the name of the section to "lapel-less" to "lapelless" in order to match its Wiktionary entry. Palacesblowlittle —Preceding undated comment added 13:53, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WEVD

Excuse me, not to sound rude but what does that mean Error of Listening? that is not really a valid reason to revert. Can you please explain your actions. Thank you. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 05:19, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, TheGoofyGolfer here again, just to let you know I've reverted back your revert and I am asking you to please first add your discussion to the WEPN talk page. I'd like to get a full consenus among Wikipedian first to determine whether the WEGD call letters are legitimately used or not based on that referenced recording. I've already expressed my opinion so that's all to say for right now. Thanks and have a pleasant evening :0) TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 08:10, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so here we are. I don't feel like fighting this, you think they are saying WEVD then so be it. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 21:52, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not what I hear or what you hear, it's that the FCC documents say, as they are definitive legal documents that clearly state what is correct. So we go with that, not any one person's interpretation of the recording. Especially when only one person is saying that and all other contributors are saying you are incorrect. oknazevad (talk) 23:12, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Olive (color)

There are two things about your edits I just don't get:

Removing "dark shade of yellow". Web color olive is 808000 (FFFF00 yellow + FFFFFF black), in web colors, "olive" and "dark yellow" are used interchangeably
Removing "avocado" repeatedly. Olive is a range of dark yellows and chartreuses; avocado falls within the range. I'm not sure if "black olive" falls in that range, but you're more than welcome to add the color p b p 22:51, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

East German mark

Hi, I edited with a script, which seems to have damaged the reflist. Try as I might, I can't seem to find the diff for this damage. I wonder whether you could look into this? At worst, you could simply revert my double edit.

Also, I added both tags. Any idea how the article can be better verified. The WP.de article seems to be both better and worse than this one. Tony (talk) 05:27, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing; but there are hardly any footnotes. Why remove that tag? Tony (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The issue was that the script changed "date" to "year" in the template. I would be careful of that as it may break other templates with similar markup.

With footnotes its not the number, but the quality of these that render the tag unneeded. The first two references are to standard catalogs, the sort of print general reference that covers most of the material in the entire article. In short, I think that the article is suitably referenced as is. Formatting to footnotes may not be the best, but that's a different tag. oknazevad (talk) 13:42, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Navbox colors

Please read this from WP:NAVBOXCOLOR:

An "appropriate, representative" color, when intended to identify with an organization's logo or branding, should use the most prominent accessible color in the logo. For example, Template:Pink Panther should be using a background of F6D4E6 (the color of the body in File:Pink Panther.png) rather than E466A9 (the color of the background in that image). A representative color may also be the one present in an article's infobox (if included). For example the navbox associated with National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)s and other related categorizations should conform to Wikipedia's NRHP colors legend.

I noticed you mentioned that the colors that I have been using in the AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint templates are "against style guidelines", even though WP:NAVBOXCOLOR says otherwise. I will not get into a heated edit war about the template colors (since that is against WP:DEW), however, there doesn't seem to be any policy against using official corporate colors in navboxes. ANDROS¹³³⁷ _TALK 22:33, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two reasons. Firstly is WP:RECENTISM, as these have only been the corporate colors in recent years. Sprint, for example, used to have logo colors of red and black. Secondly because such a use of color seems promotional, which runs counter to our purpose. In that way, I feel thy inappropriate and shouldn't be used. oknazevad (talk) 22:48, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stop it.

If you have a map of the South Aral Sea, please provide it. Otherwise knock it off. Purposely using the wrong map is essentially vandalism. — kwami (talk) 22:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, intentionally reinserting a link to a deleted map, and therefore removing a correct one, is vandalism. The animated map is incredibly relevant, as it shows how the Aral became two seperate lakes, and is in no way the "wrong map". If you don't like the animated map, for whatever reason, do the damn smart thing and use the most recent one from the gallery further down in the article. As it is now, you are making the article worse for no good reason. You knock it off, and don't come to my talk page and act like you have a clue when you clearly don't. oknazevad (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of original research on Turtle

This edit on turtle re-inserts original research into the article. The source that you mention given no verifiability to the contents making no mention language issues such as Australia, America English or British English, or use by vets or scientist that is required. I trust that you'll make amends by either reverting your edit or fix the problem . Regards, Sun Creator^(talk) 11:42, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If your we're to read the source, instead of jut dismissing it outright as you've tried to do multiple times, despite it clearly being from a reliable source, you would see that it explicitly refers to the scientific use of "chelonians" as a term for turtles, tortoises and terrapins. I question your comprehension on this matter, and will not revert or otherwise alter my edit, as it is properly sourced to reliable sources. oknazevad (talk) 13:29, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whiskey table

Hi, I'd missed your edits. I'll go ahead and do up the rest of the tables sometime over the weekend and ping you. Any thoughts on wikilinks in the table (what should or shouldn't be linked)? --HighKing (talk) 12:39, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, definitely the brands should be linked, and maybe the owners if applicable. Current guidelines call for not repeating links, but I'm not convinced that it's a good guideline, as on sortable tables it's impossible to say which is the first occurance to link. As a side note, I'd definitely try to thin out some repeats in terms of being a list of brands, not a list of expressions; that is oknazevad (talk) 14:14, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series)

Hi Oknazevad, you and I have worked together before. :) I'm noticing some resistance at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) on matters pertaining to attribution of facts. I saw your comments at Talk:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) where you explained that basic information such as credits is okay to glean from the primary source, i.e., the show itself. Does this also extend to general, neutral summaries of the episodes? In the character description for Snakeweed, for example, it's a pretty straight-forward summary of events that surround Snakeweed as we know him thus far. Do we need a citation if the unbiased description is coming from direct observation of the show? I mean, Snake DID transform into a plant mutant, Mikey dubbed him "Snakeweed" -- it's all observable and there's no speculation to pollute our understanding of the character. If no outside party reports on these facts, do they not deserve to be included in the summary of the show? If nobody writes about who the supervising producer was on the new TMNT, should we omit his name or hang a cite needed tag over it forever? Personally I don't think so, but I appreciate your input.

over/underlinking

Could you take a look at [1]

The "one link" rule/enforcement has gotten out of hand, I'm trying to get something closer to rationality. You observe the obvious on the link talk page: "I do not believe that we can ever assume that an article is read in its entirety or in a linear fashion."
