Bag of Holding Move

First, I want to be absolutely clear here: I am not out to be argumentative or pick a fight here. I'd like to resolve this in a friendly, courteous manner.

I have to ask, though: Why did you unilaterally move Bag of Holding to Holding Bag? I take issue with it.

You didn't discuss it on the talk page or give anyone a heads up. I understand if you're not familiar with D&D terminology, but "Bag of Holding" is its formal name in D&D and has been for nearly thirty years. That is the name everyone uses in the game and the name that's cited in all the manuals and publications. Your change is the equivalent of moving Eiffel Tower to "Eiffel's Tower" or "The Tower of Eiffel."

Now, if you want to argue that the concept that a bag bigger on the inside than outside goes beyond D&D and want to rewrite the whole thing with that in mind, you should bring up on the talk page and see if a consensus can be reached. Then you can consider renaming it. But just saying "it doesn't make sense" is POV.

Please discuss your view on this, either on the talk page or here. If I don't hear a solid justification for this move, I'm going to move it back in the next few days.

Thank you for your time.

Exploding whale

You tagged Talk:Exploding whale with {{Notable Wikipedian}} on user:ToastK, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how they are connected. What is your intent of the tagging? In the future, you could avoid such confusion with an edit summary. —EncMstr (talk) 20:16, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Josh Perry (Actor)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Josh Perry (Actor), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

The subject does not pass any of the 3 tests required of WP:ENTERTAINER: significant multiple roles, large fan base or substantial cult following, or unique, prolific or innovative contributions.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with some local Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal of those sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 01:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Searchin

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Searchin, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

non-notable song. Any crucial info can be merged with Anthology, but I really can't see this warranting a full article

Youtube

Yeah, I used to be on YouTube but they banned me. I had the Beatles at Shea Stadium videos up for the longest time, then all at once EMI Music decided it was time to bring them down, along with my account. Maybe that means they're finally working on a release of the material? Probably not, haha.

Group or band – which one?

We are holding a straw poll (in a very friendly way, of course) to decide if The Beatles should be called a group, or a band. You can add your user signature to one or the other by clicking this link, Group or band – which one?. Thanks.--andreasegde (talk) 00:00, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

December 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Placebo, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Placebo was changed by Zobango (u) (t) deleting 9775 characters on 2010-12-02T14:44:09+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 14:44, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The recent edit you made to Placebo constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to remove content. Thank you. Alansohn (talk) 15:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to clean up unnessecary content to clean up the article and make it easier to read. I apologize if that didn't go as planned and it looked like vandalism

Proposed deletion of Datebook

The article Datebook has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NOTABILITY

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Boleyn (talk) 21:15, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Datebook for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Datebook is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Datebook until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Boleyn (talk) 12:14, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
