Re; Baseball card

Do you understand what a commercial link is or not? Just becasuse it is a .com does not mean it is a commercial site! These are non-commercial links [1] [2] to card collecting clubs. TBTA 19:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Ivey wingo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ivey wingo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Baseball card

Hello, I reverted your edits to an earlier version, since it seems to be better written, doesn't have the American Card Catalogue examples which are superfluous outside an article on the book, has a better linear progression, and is less biased towards American cards. There is no need to mention the The San Diego Chicken, who was in fact a radio station mascot. I have found no refrences to the 1948 Topps set you sepak of and you seem not to understand the concept of references, which actually have to reference another work. I do hate to say it, but given the edit history, you seem to hava an unhealthy attachemnt to the article. You should really take a look at WP:OWN and WP:NPOV especially the Anglo-American focus section of the FAQ. It appears that TBTA was following the idea of "rather than introducing their own cultural bias, they should seek to improve articles by removing any examples of cultural bias that they encounter, or making readers aware of them." You may also want to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias. TV Newser 13:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images in the Baseball card article

I see no problem with the images in the Baseball card article. They all seem to be good as of the 16:08, 19 September 2006 revision[4]. The image at the top of the page shows several modern types from all over the world. If this article was American baseball card I think I could see why you think that "foreign" cards would be inappropriate. Considering this is not the American Wikipeida, the foreign cards are needed and even better if they are used to illustrate the design of baseball cards.

Now look what you have done

It appears you incivility has driven TBTA from Wikipedia. I hope that this will in future lead you to consider others before you act. TV Newser 05:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Hi, I wanted to ask you to be careful about adding links to cardpricer dot com. It appears to require registration for some or all of its content; please see Wikipedia:External links for why linking to such sites is generally discouraged. Wmahan . 17:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please answer the question I left on my talk page about whether you are in fact the owner of cardpricer dot com, aka [removed] aka Blacksoxfan (talk · contribs)? Thank you. Wmahan . 03:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't realize you'd object to me posting a first name. I've put some evidence for what I said above on my talk page; I think it's pretty clear, but I'm open to your explanations otherwise. Wmahan . 04:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking a look now

Just stop reverting him for a moment, I'm taking a look at the situation.--Konst.able 10:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and will do. I am glad to discuss this and try and figure out what i can do to solve the problem. People got mad at me for adding links, so then i removed them and i got accused of vandalism by a person who keeps changing my pages.Tecmobowl 10:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I would suggest you stop calling him words like "moron" it will win you no favours. Would you happen to know why he thinks you are a sock?--Konst.able 10:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't think i called him a moron (although anything is possible), i think it was someone else who rv my page. Do you want the long answer or the short answer :-)?Tecmobowl 10:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Let's try the short answer first just to see if we can stop this situation one way or another.--Konst.able 11:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Should i keep doing these star sections? Okay short answer, a person started editing Baseball card page with bad information and i would go in and remove it. Some how this guy got involved (recognize i don't know if it is a male or female). After having a long discussion with someone about how I believe CardPricer.com has a valuable place on certain link pages, i realized that it should be removed from other pages (where i put it). So in an attempt to get things going, i went to Trading card and removed the external links section which at the time included a link to cardpricer, a link to a magazine, and a link to a site promoted by [[5]] (who is employed by that site). TV Newser started calling me a vandal for removing the section (which i started btw). Then I attempted to point people to the talk page for Trading card to discuss it instead of adding the section back in/ He did not like this and essentially started calling me a sockpuppet by the name of scott.-- Tecmobowl 11:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Yes the star sections are annoying). I am trying to find a reason why he would accuse you, so far unsuccessful, waiting for him to reply.--Konst.able 11:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC) Okay, I'm going to get breakfast in about 10 minutes or so. Let me know if there is anything else i can do. Really quickly, do you know if there is a piece of wiki code to direct people to discuss a specific section on the talk page ... and how do i point them to the specific section on the talk page? Thanks Tecmobowl 11:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Use [[Article name#Section name here]]--Konst.able 11:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

awesome, so I'll go put that on the external link section as: Please discuss here: [[Article name#Section name here]]-- Tecmobowl 11:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In case you check this again, i just want to clarify that i did not make any claims toward him as an anon. Tecmobowl 11:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok

I have asked him/her to stop the accusations without presenting evidence. But you too have made some nasty comments against him in retaliation as an anon (don't deny it please, it's rather obvious, and can be easily be proven indisputably if needed). Though it is not entirely unjustified, it does violate the No Personal Attacks policy, which could lead to blocks. The outbursts are understandable, but are unlikely to be tolerated if they repeat. So I urge you to stay cool and civil no matter what he throws at you. I will be heading off soon, so this may be resolved on WP:AN before I am back.--Konst.able 11:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THanks for your help and i'm not arguing at all but for my own sake i'd like you to check the login and out times and also my ip address as you will see it is nowhere near that one. Again, i don't want to beat a dead horse, and i certainly thank you for your help. Thank you again for providing some level headed nature to this. I did tell him to learn to read and that was a violation. Thanks again and keep it real! Tecmobowl 11:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC) Now i'm realing going to breakfast[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Ichiro calbee.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ichiro calbee.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

TenMillion

Hi. The "funky" thing that happened to TenMillion was that I moved it to a more appropriate name. His name was Ten Million, not TenMillion, therefore the article should be named "Ten Million". But, since "Ten Million" is already a redirect to the number, the correct disambiguated name would be Ten Million (baseball player) or Ten Million (baseball) or something. Read WP:DAB and/or WP:NCP for the appropriate guidelines. Your version of the article is clearly better than mine so I'll move your article to the correct name. Let me know if you have questions. —Wknight94 (talk) 13:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am familiar with both of those naming conventions. I simply used the one outlined here WP:DAB#Disambiguation_links regarding ColdFusion. It's a minor issue to me, so it will just stay this way. Not sure why you went in and put in the time when I said I was in the middle of updating the article but then again, doesn't matter to me. If you feel your version has more merit than mine, please feel free to change it, move it, or whatever. Best of luck. --Tecmobowl 17:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, the product is actually called "ColdFusion" without a space so there's no disambiguation need (the example you mention is stating that a disambiguation note is helpful in that case since there could be some confusion - but it's not technically needed since the titles aren't exactly the same). As far as why I started editing, the article had a line saying, "More content should be added." I didn't take that to mean that you were going to be adding content - I thought it was you requesting that someone add content. In general, once you put an article out into the regular article space, it's a free-for-all. If you want to create a temporary article away from other people, you should create a "sandbox" area in your user space like User:Tecmobowl/Ten Million (baseball player) or something. Then move it to Ten Million (baseball player) when you're ready for others to read and edit it. As far as which has more merit, I completely deleted my copy. I just turned it from a one-liner into a stub - you turned it from a stub to a real article. There is no longer any trace of my version. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
