List of Senators

The other senators use the date of the letters-patent summoning them to the Senate, as I have established for every senator from 1996 to January 2009 by going through the online Senate Journals. I would ask that you please revert your edit since it is based on an incorrect assumption. -Rrius (talk) 22:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Also, read the talk page. I am not saying the source is completely unreliable; I am saying it is unreliable on the point of dates of appointments for newly appointed senators. They did exactly the same thing with the last batch of appointments. They said immediately that they were appointed on December 22, 2008, but changed the dates once they had the summonses. Since they have established unreliability on this point, we cannot rely on them to be correct this time. -Rrius (talk) 22:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

K2G Switch

Hey, I'm a new user and I made a newby mistake and I'm apologize to you. I should have known better than to include a speculation. But I think that's been a distraction from the change that I really value making. It may be nuanced but I'm not speculating, being picky, or argumentative. Read my new suggestion for how the sentence should be re-worded I think then you'll see what I'm getting at. I'd like to find that commentary you mentioned, Groening might explain the switch.

I deleted what I first posted so that the errant speculation won't enter into the considerations. I also won't make the edit until we can create some kind of consensus. It was late and I was with friends when I did the first one. Again sorry about it, and try to forget about my blunder. Once you see my suggested re-wording I think you'll like it.

those this look like a goood start for the hallmark section

Hallmarks

In the opening sequence of many Simpsons episodes, the camera zooms in on Springfield Elementary School, it is shown that Lisa is seen being ejected from band rehearsal due to her non-conforming playing. She exits the room playing a saxophone solo, which sometimes changes. Some of the solos have similarities with pieces by Donovan, Frank Zappa, James Brown, and Charlie Parker..

One of Lisa's hallmarks is playing the saxofone or the sax, in the episode Lisa's Sax she says that she practices one hour a day, it is also shown that she started playing the saxofone in 1990 where Homer buys it for her, because he discovers that a musical instrument is a way to encourage a gifted child. He sacrifices his air conditioner money to buy Lisa her first saxophone. He asked the clerk to engrave on the sax: "Dear Lisa. Never forget your daddy loves d'oh!", as Homer drops the saxophone.

Your deletion of my Nancy Cartwright addition

I am admittedly a newbie to Wikipedia, and I see that you are certainly not.

I added a sentence to the Nancy Cartwright page with the fact that she wrote the foreword to a book written many years ago by a friend of hers. I made it a point not to mention the author's name or link to Amazon, etc., assuming that might be viewed as somehow being an attempt to promote the book.

I would appreciate it if you would explain why this addition was not appropriate, since you immediately deleted it.

You Only Move Twice (Cultural References)

I disagree heartily with your position that my brief discussion of the Denver Broncos reference crosses the line into trivia. It's a joke that requires some explanation, as it made more sense at the episode's original airing than it does today. I don't believe that there's a point to having a section with cultural references, if honest attempts at explaining those references in the episode are redlined as trivia. I also dispute your observation that my contribution represented original research; it was a mere summary of facts. Finally, I didn't see a citation for the claim that the Broncos had been "a consistent .500 team throughout the 1990s" and considered it fair game for an edit.

Finally, your brute-force revert of minor changes that improve the sentence structure and grammar of the section tell me that you believe that nobody but yourself should dare to edit this article. Rather than simply reverting the changes, it would have been more appropriate for you to open a dialogue with me. But it's quite clear to me that you have an awfully proprietary attitude about the subject, so I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to discuss this. LibertyHiller (talk) 03:56, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Rebuttal: Thank you for your response, but you might have done a little homework first and looked at the edit history. The bit about the Broncos being a "consistent .500 team" wasn't added by me; it had been added (without a source) about three days prior to my edits, by an anonymous user. (You are correct, Marge didn't say that; at the time I was making my edits, I lacked access to anything approximating an authoritative transcript. However, I did recall that the scene in question was a conversation between Homer and Marge; I'd made a note to myself to follow up on the exact quote.) Nevertheless, your wholesale reversion was unwarranted; the false quote could have been excised without removing the explanation.

As far as violating NOR, a mere recitation of facts in order to explain the reference hardly qualifies as original research. My decision to include the information (was in no way indiscriminate; a joke that was deadly in 1996 has lost some of its punch with time, and I thought it useful to explain to readers why using those particular teams made it work. This edit was not made in the plot summary, but in an appropriate section, so I fail to see where I ran afoul of WP:PLOT.

The difference between cultural reference and trivia is apparently in the eye of the beholder. What is the point to having a section with cultural references, if honest attempts at explaining those references are redlined as trivia? I'm not sure who appointed you a cultural arbiter, but you seem to have placed yourself in that role. It's clear that you consider this article to be your property, so have fun with it.

Re: Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics

Hi Scorpio.

I don't agree with you that it's too early to add the events to the nations' pages. It's knowledge, and even if it hasn't happen yet, it's gonna happen, that's for sure. People might wanna know Canada's hockey schedule. Yeah, I know, they can check the tournament page. But it can't hurt anyone having the info there already (as far as what can be known now).

A second reason why I added the info now, is that I wanna make sure that nobody edits away without using the templates I've created - with some effort - for the purpose of avoiding doubling storage space and typing for all the various pages that soon will share the same info, while at the same time keeping them from diverging.

The reason why I didn't add all the other schedules, is simply that I don't know them. Every editor contributes with his or her knowledge and creativity. Wikipedia grows bit by bit. It didn't happen in just one giant edit.

Thanks for not deleting the info totally, though.

Cheers

LarRan (talk) 16:14, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, that's a good change. Thanks.

I was thinking - couldn't we just remove the "Qualification" heading? That way we wouldn't need two sections for each event: one under "Qualification", and one under "Results". We could just let each event section evolve gradually from focusing on qualification to focusing on the results, as we get closer to the Games.

LarRan (talk) 11:06, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi again.

While I can agree that the trials are important background information, I am more inclined to believe that linking to that article, combined with a short summary (as in the previous version), would be sufficient in the "Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics" article. Information on participants in the trials belong in that page. It does not belong in this page. We can't possibly have all background in this page, all wannabes that didn't make it to the team, and so forth. Where's the limit?

Cheers

Outright removal of necessary, relevant information is not how we fix things unless they are clearly unfixable. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

First off, they do belong. They're directly related to the release information of the DVD. At what point is its PSP release irrelevant to the article? And second off, I'm gonna have to ask for an explanation why it's not my burden to fix all the other problems, only sources. If I think that it needs sourcing, then it's solely the burden of those who want it to be a good article. My shoulders have no room for other peoples' work. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

If he tried to search for a source to state that it's available on UMD, he must not have bothered to notice "Blue Harvest" + "UMD" bringing up in excess of 4,000 hits, the first from Amazon selling it.

And again, outright removal is not how you fix sourcing problems. I'm adding it back because the information is not being deleted for being unsourceable, but because the nominator didn't want to source them. I can say immediately that it can't pass GA on the basis that it is factually incomplete. I already can say what is missing, and until the content is added back in I can't call the article comprehensive in its coverage. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Amazon establishes that it exists. It's not like factual information from Amazon is written by users. Regardless, you're suggesting that the information be removed immediately based on the first result of a Google search not resulting in a source. Again, I'll repeat this: It's verifiable information. The UMD clearly exists, appearing on dozens of major shopping web sites. The interview appeared on the DVD, and all it needs is for someone to source the specific quote from the DVD. And the list of episodes in the season six boxset is a reference in and of itself to it not being included. In five minutes I showed that these woefully unsourcable things could be sourced. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:

• Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
• Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
• Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
• Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
• Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
• Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
• Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
• Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
• Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
• In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

I agree. I don't even use either button until I check the article. I accidentally hit that button alot as I check my watchlist.

Canadian women's Olympic roster

Hi. Judging from the info you entered on Canada's 2010 Olympic page, it's time to fill this template: Template:2010 Winter Olympics Canada women's ice hockey team roster. The purpose of it is to keep the info in one place, so when changes come, you will only have to edit in one place instead of two (Canada's page and the page covering all rosters), thus turning around only round about 1*1500-2000 bytes, instead of 2*85000+ bytes, for each save. Would you be so kind and do it? Thanks. LarRan (talk) 22:42, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Tired Of You

Are you kidding me? What planet are you from? Oh, yeah, Canada. I'm really getting tired of delusional editors who try to, "own," or keep control, of the Wikipedia pages they create or heavily edit. That explicitly cannot be the case, according to the Wikipedia guidelines. Wikipedia is for anyone and everyone to edit.

The reason the Youtube video was posted as attribution was because it clearly makes the point for the "Raymond" reference, period, with no guesswork needed for any reader. It clearly shows Dan Castellaneta in the exact role he's attributed to for, "Raymond;" and, there is no reason that reference is wrong, other than personal preference. So, the point isn't about having circular reasoning, as you so incorrectly try to accuse me of, genius. Have a better day. Canihaveacookie 10:43, December 22, 2009 (UTC-6)

Metallica II

Kindly refrain from the personal attacks. How do you know that they aren't planning to produce such a CD? After all, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Accordingly, this is not an obvious hoax, and thus cannot be speedied under G3. Moreover, this is not nonsense (G1), so there's no criterion under which this may be speedied. Nyttend (talk) 18:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

It is not obvious to me. That's enough to decline the speedy (read the "Dealing with hoaxes" section of Wikipedia:Do not create hoaxes), and to avoid wasting time with an AFD, I've used a prod. Nyttend (talk) 18:34, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I concur. Given that I am not a Metallica fan, I do not stay informed of the band's projects. Which means that it is not obviously a hoax to me. Please keep in mind that while the deletion discussion is open, the article will bear a prominent deletion tag, and an accuracy concern tag I just inserted, which will alert readers that they are looking at a possible hoax. That should be enough to address the concerns you had. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:37, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

The point is following the processes by which we operate — an allegation of a hoax by a single editor (bear in mind that I trust your words; I've already voted to delete at AFD based on what you've said) is insufficient to pass the speedy criteria. If this sort of article were seen as speedily deleteable, we'd see the well-meaning deletion of lots of articles on real but obscure topics. I'm not forgetting IAR, but speedy deleting this page as vandalism would set a bad precedent and thus not be good for the encyclopedia. One question — why did you take it to AFD? Because you opened the AFD after I placed the prod, it will likely take longer to be deleted than if you'd not started the debate. Nyttend (talk) 23:27, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Mr. Burns

At Talk:Montgomery Burns you said "[...] all of those names are secondary to his common name in the show, 'Mr. Burns'.

Yeah, I don't think that applies to fictional characters. Many character articles begin with "Mr.", such as Mr. Eko, Mr. Freeze, Mr. Moto, Mr Mulliner, Mr. Big (Sex and the City), Mr. Mackay, Mr Benn, etc. So I think we should move the article to "Mr. Burns".
