Overwork a new article

Hello useight, I just wrote a new article, Johann Friedrich Adolf von der Marwitz. As I am no native speaker, I am searching for someone who has a look at it and fixes grammar errors or style problems. Would you mind doing that? It still is a rather short article. If not, where may I ask? Thank you! FDG -- Friedrichdergrosse (talk) 00:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Thank you very much for overworking my article. I came across you reading the wikipedia help. Somewhere it was recommended to simply ask frequent editors. There also was a list of currently frequent editors, and I found you on top of it. :-) -- Friedrichdergrosse (talk) 01:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't mind if you archive your talk page, it's your right, but refusing even to acknowledge my question is rude. Are you still her mentor, or not? Corvus cornix_talk 06:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Yo

Yo whats up. Well i managed to get blocked on Bulbapedia after a admin vandalized my talk page and i wrote F**K you on every person involved with this on their talk page.

You know some people might think i'm at fault here but if you were there you'd see that with such a small interwoven admin group they protect eachother and ignore what the others do just as much as any group on here would. Its a shame i can contact Wikimedia and have Bulbapedia's license pulled. Yami (talk) 04:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Yeah and they tell you to go to the Forums if you have a problem with the admins, but the forums are ran by the same admins.

Plus I'm sure if you know a thing about how Forums generally are, a gathering of the Internets problem children to gang up on each other and so on. I don't think i have ever been on a forum that didn't result in something said being flamed trolled and all that other forum stuff.

Wiki Media needs to keep a tighter leash on the sites that use its software and the wiki/pedia name. Yami (talk) 22:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

FWIW

At the time of my RFA I would only have scored 4 out of 15. I would still only score 5... – iridescent 19:20, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Watchlist stalker here. My score is a 2. Both related to XfDs. My RFA was only last January. There is no way in hell I'd pass RFA today if that list was the "required" experience. Where are the questions about content contributions? GA? FA? DYK? (not that I have those either) Keeper ǀ 76 19:23, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

If those questions were specifically aimed at R2, Useight probably already knows he got Michael Jackson to FA so doesn't need to ask. – iridescent 19:53, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I think I have 11 out of 15. Enigma ^message 19:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Which, I suppose, is evidence as to why you didn't pass RFA? I don't mean that of course, I was a fervent supporter of yours....Keeper ǀ 76 20:06, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, I didn't ask the questions specifically for RFA, I'm trying to do "editor coaching" instead of "admin coaching", so I'm (attempting) to take a somewhat different angle. The source of the questions is actually at User:Bibliomaniac15/Admin_coaching_plans#Checklist, only I don't call it a checklist, but Iridescent is correct, I removed the questions regarding GA, FA, stubs, WikiProjects, and RFA voting because I knew he already does those. No coaching should be cookie cutter, so I tailored it to R2. Just as a side note, I have 13 of those 15. Useight (talk) 21:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Still having issues on the Cincinnati article

I already addressed it all and Dayewalker is still arguing. I can't tell if this is getting too heated, but this is getting no where.

He told me i was being uncivil and told me to respect the consensus of the page when i don't see where there is a consensus to speak of.

I think our personal views are getting in the way here, mine with my pride as being born and raised there and using the word "Please?" in that manner.

His views of "Quite frankly I doubt such a thing could exist in isolation and stay a quirk of a single city, but if you find an example, I'd love to see it. Dayewalker (talk) 05:49, 6 September 2008 (UTC)"

Plus his overall argumentative attitude in this, i mean i might have a combative personality but he seems to just be arguing for the sakes of arguing.

The word came from the German heritage factor of the city. Many places have large German influences and heritage, but the coinage of this word to be used in the fashion has thus far not been found to be mentioned in any other article accept those dealing with Cincinnati.

This would indicate that it is so isolated that it would be unique enough to Cincinnati to gain mention of being used there but not other places. If no site can be found that says its used in another place then it must be unique enough to be awarded to Cincinnati or at least those affiliated with the city and area.

People born in Cincinnati Say "please?" to ask someone to repeat something just like a person in Milwaukee would say "Eh" like the Canadian "Heh" at the end of a sentence to add emphasis but the Milwaukee article isn't going say that until someone adds it. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Yooper-dialect

There are tons of examples of similar dialects.

"Beg Pardon" instead of "Bed you Pardon" or "I beg your pardon" that indicates you didn't understand what was just said. I was watching the Venture Brothers the other night and Hank the blond said "Beg Pardon" because he didn't understand something (he isn't that bright)

"Pardon?," "Sorry?" or even "I'm Sorry?" to also indicate you don't understand.

"Excuse me?" used in the same manner as well when normally it's a phase use to ask for passage or apologies. Same with "Cuse me?" and other variations.

the shortened version of "What" with "Wha?"

All of these are words and phrases that mean the same thing.

I'm sorry for blogging your talk page with this, but he's still arguing on things i already explained multiple times. Yami (talk) 23:57, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

And it looks like Atom from the breast article can't resist in getting in on the action http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Please&diff=236908545&oldid=235933602

The word Comes from Bitte which can translate into please, but that doesn't mean its used in the places he said and i can't find anything on it. So far the use of "Please?" has only been mentioned on Cincinnati related articles on the internet.

And given the past with Atom i wonder why or how he even came to the article for Please. Yami (talk) 01:20, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Well it was removed this time by Dreadstar, but i think it was removed because that article is meant for a listing of please related articles and not definitions.

I'm still having trouble with the article, and they're claiming there is a consensus agaisnt me? I admit i don't know the full definition of consensus but from what i know is from my past experience with it is you can't claim it with just two people. Yami (talk) 00:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

God what is with these people on the cincinnati article. I proved that lease? was unique to cincinnati and i have multiple sources and the guy who removed Please? from thje article the first time is still complaining about notability. Yami (talk) 06:59, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Twin Peaks

It is clearly stated in WP:V that every article in wikipedia must be held up to rugged standards of verification. While this article describing Twin Peaks is interesting, there aren't any sources! So how is it possible to believe it? I think it would do more harm than good to anyone reading it. If you would like to add a source, go ahead. But as it stands now, it doesn't meet wikipedia's quality standards. I'm sorry :( It's ok though, we all make mistakes. I'll make sure to save you the time and get rid of it for you!

Clarence Thomas (1)

Please block user Wallamoose from editing the Clarence Thomas article; he keeps trying to nuke a section on Thomas's sexual misconduct. Please also sockpuppet check him, as he's a new account only making partisan edits.RafaelRGarcia (talk) 18:11, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Please read the discussion page of the Clarence Thomas article and see that I have provided numerous sources proving the information that is contained in the article regarding Angela Wright and Sukari Hardnett is false. Here's another article clarifying that no one but Hill ever testified before the committee that they were sexually harassed. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/921012/archive_018473_10.htm

So you've blocked me and allowed false statements to be included in an article about a Supreme Court Justice of the United States. I don't know how to go about correcting these falsehoods, so if you could advise me that would be great. In my humble opinion RafaelRGarcia should be banned from editing the article as he continues to knowingly edit the article so that false information is presented.(Wallamoose (talk) 18:28, 14 September 2008 (UTC))

Additionally, RafaelRGarcia stated in the discussion section that "Wright is completely on topic for the section on Thomas being such a perv." I don't think someone with this viewpoint or approach has any role in editing the article about Clarence Thomas. Please note there is no section about Justice Thomas being a perv, and this is a grossly inappropriate comment.(Wallamoose (talk) 18:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC))

RafaelRGarcia has continued to harass me going to other administrators to ask that I be banned and investigated. Am I supposed to engage in a similar campaign notifying administrators of his deletions of content I posted on the article's talk page, of his description of Clarence Thomas on the article's talk page as a "Perv", of his using opinion articles as sources, of his maintaining fake sourcing to advance his biased agenda? Is this how Wikipedia works? Please advise. I am happy to provide evidence and links for all my allegations if necessary. Thanks. (Wallamoose (talk) 16:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC))

In case you didn't see it there....

In a post on "Realist2"'s page was the following: Would you please stop with the personal attacks. I have zero problem with conservative's. Some of my closest associates on wikipedia are conservative and I have not once uttered a bigoted comment their way. You should really review my edits to the Obama talk page (archives now), you will see that I am a neutral editor. The fact that I show the world my biases openly on my user page is a good thing, it makes me more accountable for my actions. I do not however expect to be called a bigot, to be accused of making personal attacks, to be accused of editorial bias, or to have an arbitration set on me. Also, please do not come over here (probably from conservapedia) and lampoon our community as leftist the minute you arrive. — Realist2 04:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I've never heard of conservapedia, I thought "your" (sic) community was supposed to be all of us, and will allow wiki's reputation to talk for me. Further, when one posts his positions in the manner in which you do, it is the farthest thing from bias awareness, it is provocation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. America (talk • contribs) 04:21, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

It's quite clear that all the comments I make on my user page, about politics or not, should be taken with a pinch of salt. They are a little tongue in cheek certainly, my whole user page is tongue in cheek. It's rarely serious. — Realist2 04:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

You then recorded,

"Please refrain from using "(sic)" in that manner as it is obvious that you are insinuating a personal attack. Useight (talk) 05:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Please note, therefore, that, "Had you simply taken the time to read the entry unprejudicially, you would have seen that I did not. The point, let me spell it out for you, is that wiki poses itself as if it is for "all" people, but "Realist2" betrayed that when he said, "...our..." community. I.e., he tipped his hand and, may I infer quite plainly from the interjection, yours. ~Doc —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. America (talk • contribs) 21:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

Self-referencialism.

What is sauce for the goose is most certainly sauce for the gander. You were absolutely wrong in your understanding of my use as "sic" in that context. The point was not a peronal attack at all, but the revealing of a Freudian slip. Not only did you miss that--why I knew I needed to spell it out for you--but you are the one that assumed omniscience by saying it was an "obvious...insinuation".

You are no harder than other nails, so do not accuse someone else of something you just did yourself, and errantly to boot.

Hi Useight. I must say I was a bit disappointed by your comment here. While I opposed (IIRC) your RfB, you are someone who I considered as having pretty good judgement, and who would, one day, make a pretty good crat. To have you come out and oppose just because, without any alternatives proposed or issues raised, was not something I expected from you.

I understand if this is the opinion you wish to voice, much as it is not something I expected coming from you, of all people.

Incidentally, a few people have replied asking if you could expand on why you dislike adminbots. You're under no obligation to answer, but I would be interested to see a response, if you decide to deliver one.

adoption (1)

Thank you for agreeing to be a mentor last month. I have thought hard about making the politician's articles more neutral but I think it is too big a task especially for the politician's who are running for re-election. I thought about it so hard that I stopped editing to ponder. The editorial task is not too hard but there will always be 2-3 people who are violently opposed to it. 2-3 people in a district of several hundred thousand is not much but, as you know, 2-3 editors fighting you in Wikipedia is very tiring.

Pokemon unmerge proposal

Hello, this message is being sent to inform you that a proposal to un-merge all Pokemon articles has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokemon#Pokemon and their rightful place. As a member of WikiProject Pokemon, your input would be much appreciated. GlassCobra 22:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Pokémon moves

Hey, I posted this on Jéské Couriano's talk page, but he hasn't responded yet. He recently moved all of the Pokémon games to include their respective remakes. This goes against already established consensus (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokémon#Moving Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald), so I was wondering if you could delete the redirects on the original titles, and then move the articles back. For example: if you could delete Pokémon Red and Blue, then move Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow to Pokémon Red and Blue; and continue the process with Gold and Silver, and Ruby and Sapphire.

Clarence Thomas

Hey Useight. I've left the Clarence Thomas article alone for quite a while despite the grotesque POV and unbalance of the sexual allegation section. Today I've been trying to add a single paragraph refuting Hill's testimony but user RafaelGarcia has been deleting it and deleting my citations. I'm very frustrated. I didn't take out any of his information until he kept doing it. But I'm really frustrated and he's in clear violation of Wikipedia rules about multiple reverts. Also, you can see on the talk page that many many many users have suggested cutting down the section and moving some of the information to the nomination article. But RafaelGarcia is attempting to excercise ownership and has engaged in an abusive edit war to block any refutation of the information he's added (mostly about people who never testified at the hearings). If you could help I would really appreciate it. Given his history I suggest he be banned at least from the article and maybe more generally. (Wallamoose (talk) 01:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC))

I have deleted nothing; I simply moved all the info so that the info against the accusers was all together. Also, Wallamoose doesn't know how to cite properly. He cites to a huge index of tons of testimony instead of citing to individual testimony PDFs. In addition, he's making NPOV edits trying to tell readers the significance of things; that is unsupported by the text. Also, he's made statements unsupported by citations.RafaelRGarcia (talk) 01:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Wallamoose is also deleting citations for no reason; documents that are there or are clearly cited are being replaced with fact tags wantonly.RafaelRGarcia (talk) 01:52, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

My reply here

I replied. It's really not fair to equate my behavior to Wallamoose's; he's fact-tagging work for no reason as a little tantrum.RafaelRGarcia (talk) 03:47, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. None of RafaelGarcia's edits went through the process you describe. I've tried repeatedly to discuss things on the talk page with him and it goes round and round. Many many many users have made suggestions and we've all been ignored. All of his edits are in the article. All of my edits are attacked and removed. He wants the information refuting Anita Hill to be in a completely seperate areas. This is absurd. His citations are almost all bogus, and I am happy to provide examples. All of my additions are legit, and it's one paragraph of information. If he wants page numbers no problem, but his citations should have that too then. I don't think it's right that you've come in and suggested that I have to go through him before making edits. But all of his edits and a giant section of information on people who never testified is included despite countless objections and suggestions from numeroues users that the section be condensed. I've been patient. I waited for an RFC. I asked for help. And I'm back where I started. It's not right. I don't know how to proceed and this is no solution at all. I'm not going to spend endless time arguing over basic material that's sourced from the actual hearings and has been included on the talk page for weeks. If you read the talk page all of my additions were posted long ago and discussed. he said they could be added. (Wallamoose (talk) 04:24, 7 October 2008 (UTC))

Here are just two of this guy's ref's: Pages 442 to 511? Clearly that is not an acceptable citation, but when I've tagged it (unlike he who just deletes stuff) my tag gets removed. http://www.gpoaccess.gov/congress/senate/judiciary/sh102-1084pt4/442-511.pdf%7Ctitle=United States Senate, Transcript of Proceedings|format=pdf|pages=pp. 442-511|accessdate=2008-09-18|date=1991-10-10|publisher=gpoaccess.gov}}

Here's another one: The New York Times. "THE THOMAS NOMINATION; Excerpts From Judiciary Committee's Interview of Angela Wright." Oct. 4, 1991. Wright said that Thomas made comments about her and other women's anatomy "quite often." The New York Times. "THE THOMAS NOMINATION; Excerpts From Judiciary Committee's Interview of Angela Wright." Oct. 4, 1991. No page numbers. No link. No nothing. I need real help not suggestions to work with this guy who hasn't responded to any reasonable efforts. (Wallamoose (talk) 04:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC))

As requested, here is the paragraph that I have repeatedly attempted to add after the section about Anita Hill's testimony. It deals with her testimony so it should go after that section, not 15 paragraphs below it after the many many irrelevant witnesses who never testified at the hearings and which doesn't belong in the article. The community has asked that it be condensed and/or moved to the confirmation hearing article and I ask that again that this be done. I also request that RafaelGarcia be required to provide reference links for his information and page numbers if I am required to do so. Thanks for your help. Obviously this has been a very frustrating process in dealing with a malicious editor. Diane Holt testified that in the seven years after Hill left for another job, Hill called 15 or 16 times for Thomas. p. 346 http://www.gpoaccess.gov/congress/senate/judiciary/sh102-1084pt4/browse.html Anita Hill first denied and later admitted that the calls took place. Hill testimony http://www.gpoaccess.gov/congress/senate/judiciary/sh102-1084pt4/browse.html Nancy Altman from the Department of Education testified that, "It is not credible that Clarence Thomas could have engaged in the kinds of behavior that Anita Hill alleges, without any of the women who he worked closest with -- dozens of us, we could spend days having women come up, his secretaries, his chief of staff, his other assistants, his colleagues -- without any of us having sensed, seen or heard something." Testimony of Nancy Altman http://www.gpoaccess.gov/congress/senate/judiciary/sh102-1084pt4/browse.html Senator Specter said that "the testimony of Professor Hill in the morning was flat out perjury and that she specifically changed it in the afternoon when confronted with the possibility of being contradicted." p. 230 (bottom of the page) http://www.gpoaccess.gov/congress/senate/judiciary/sh102-1084pt4/browse.html (Wallamoose (talk) 05:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC))

Also, please restore the unbalanced tag which RafaelGarcia removed from the sexual allegation section (it needs to be there since the changes recommended by many users have been ignored and no reason was given by RafaelGarcia for its removal). I again ask that he be banned. His edits are abusive. He has deleted my content (twice), moved it without explanation, deleted my tags, ignored RFC requests by multiple users for changes, and removed my citations. I've been very patient and tried to use the appropriate channels offered by Wikipedia to address his abusive behavior. But at some point he needs to be stopped. All of my changes were discussed and agreed to on the talk page. This is not a new issue and it's time for RafaelGarcia's abuse to stop.(Wallamoose (talk) 20:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC))

If page numbers on a cite are not specific enough, then try to find the accurate page number, instead of obliterating the citation, Wallamoose. Useight, please extend the article's locked status by a day. I'm a dual-degree grad student who has finals through the 14th, and I know Wallamoose will try to rush in changes day-of. I need that extra day. Thanks. RafaelRGarcia (talk) 00:27, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I have gone ahead and protected the page for one extra day, however, if this edit war suddenly starts up again immediately after the protection ends, a 3RR block may have to be issued; continuously edit warring on the article cannot be tolerated. Also, I do not have the ability to initiate a ban (which is different from a block). You would need a serious community consensus, ArbCom ruling, or Jimbo to perform the ban. As an admin, I can only block (albeit indefinitely, at times). Useight (talk) 03:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I've found the correct pages for the 50-page citation. Pages 520 and 521. All I had to do was Ctrl+F for "breasts" and "legs," Clarence Thomas's favorite parts of the female body. See how easy that was, Wallamoose? Why not do some actual work on the article yourself instead of just fact-tagging everything and bothering about five admins now with this issue? RafaelRGarcia (talk) 16:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Excellent work, this is the kind of stuff that should be done to utilize the time while the article is protected. Useight (talk) 16:15, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

It could have also been done before the page was protected. Instead of deleting my tag indicating the citation needed work.(Wallamoose (talk) 22:46, 8 October 2008 (UTC))

Here's an example of this joker's editing from the Rehnquist article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Rehnquist&diff=prev&oldid=243963318

"violated his supposed principles"

Brilliant. Now he's stalking me all over Wikipedia and posting on my user page after I asked him to stop (twice). I've concluded it's hopeless. There are sickos out there and we just have to put up with them. (Wallamoose (talk) 23:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC))

Stop creating wiki-drama and get back to wiki-work on the Clarence Thomas wiki-page. The language about the Rehnquist violation of judicial restraint is taken straight from the cited TIME article. I don't go beyond the text of sources, unlike you.RafaelRGarcia (talk) 23:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

A Thank You Card!

Dear Useight, thank you so much for your words of support, kindness, and your trust in me. My request for Adminship has been closed, and the support the community has shown will be with me forever. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am, and all I can tell you is this: I shall try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, please tell me! :) If you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you are welcome to ask, and I shall do my very best. Please take care. G.A.S 05:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

All is for the best, in this, the best of all possible worlds

One of the advantages of not having many supporters at your RFA is that there are fewer people to thank at the end. Thanks for your support and your willingness to look at my complete record. I'm going to try to interpret this resounding defeat as a statement that I should choose my words more carefully in the future, and remember that every statement I make gets recorded forever, just waiting to get carefully transcribed onto my next RFA. I would go insane if I believed that it was repudiation of what I truly meant: that no editor should consciously and willfully ignore guidelines and policies, and editors that repeatedly do so should not be rewarded for or supported in doing so.

I'm sure I'll get back to full speed editing soon, because, after all, , every day, and in every way, I am getting better and better.—Kww(talk) 05:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Conflicting information

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricklin_SV-1 It is believed that less than 1,000 Bricklin cars in the entire world still exist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Bricklin It is believed approximately 1,500 Bricklin cars still exist.

Solution? Add a citation needed tag and some may think that is an aggressive challenge.

Hi, I see you are open for adopting someone and I am open for being adopted by someone. I have recently started editing wiki [out of sheer boredom] and I definitely need some help.

I uploaded this photo of NUST plan a few days back and added it here. I got this from the university's site and no copyright status is mentioned on the site.

I did add it there but then removed it unless its status is determined. One more thing, if I have a pic in a newspaper, I scan it and upload it, can i say that it is my own work? And can we use it on wiki without any copyright permission? Marsa Lahminal (talk) 07:22, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

copyright Issues

Rigth, i guess people are not so interested in knowing rankings of some countries. And my other question? I asked that if I have a picture in a prospectus or newspaper, can I scan and upload it saying that it is my own work, and what am I suppose to write in the copyright status box. I mean sure they printed it in the paper and send to thousands of people, anyone can use it for any purpose, right? Marsa Lahminal (talk) 07:01, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Neutrality of article

You must have started getting annoyed by now, I have so many lame questions to ask.

Read this article. I may be wrong, but don't you think so it is a 'oh this is such a shinny bubbly place' article rather than encyclopedic one? The introductory para says '--rigorous academic and intellectual training to Pakistani students and scholars, but also make available state-of-the-art research facilities, which would be comparable to leading universities around the world'. I read such a statement some other place and an administrator put that on a speedy deletion list. The heading LUMS Library 2nd para says "Our mission is to excel in supporting the academic and scholarly endeavor of -", probably one of the university's employee has written it. Plus there is no reference in any of these headings Research at LUMS, LUMS Library, International recognition. I wanted to take this to the articles discussion page but thought I ll confirm from you first. Marsa Lahminal (talk) 11:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

AFD anger?

What is your opinion of submitting an AFD? It could get someone very mad. It's even possible that they follow you around and make trouble. They could do it in a way that could be explained by chance, even though the purpose is intentional. Because of that, I think that if I nominated something for AFD, it should qualify for deletion without much doubt. What do you think?

What about Augustine Broach? Chergles (talk) 19:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
