Links to Dates?

I recall awhile back you said something about not linking dates. A user brought up the issue, but I can't seem to find anything that verifies the rule. I think WP:CONTEXT mentions something, but it's not really clear. Can you help me straighten out this issue? --►ShadowJester07  23:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Please refer to WP:MOS about dates. More specifically WP:DATE. Here is the quote from the page.

"If the date does not contain both a month and a day, date preferences do not apply: linking or not linking the date will make no difference to the text that the reader sees. So when considering whether such a date should be linked or not, editors should take into account the usual considerations about links, including the recommendations of Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context.

There is consensus among editors that bare month and day names should not be linked unless there is a specific reason that the link will help the reader to understand the article. There is less agreement about links to years. Some editors believe that links to years are generally useful to establish context for the article. Others believe that links to years are rarely useful to the reader and reduce the readability of the text. Another possibility is to link to a more specific article about that year, for example 2006, although some people find this unintuitive because the link leads to an unexpected destination."

This is only a guideline really, but the best thing to take into consideration is to link what is relevant.++aviper2k7++ 03:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Allright, thanks for the help. :) --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 14:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Open directory project

I clicked the link and it brought me to a page that said something to the effect of "nothing found". When I went to the main page it looked like a spam-ish type website. Sorry for not doing my research before removing it. My apologies. eyeRmonkey 06:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Streelight Manifesto edit

In response to your edit; I was not stating the Mike Soprano announcements as a fact, they are alleged claims that appeared on a forum. I feel that is perfectly acceptable to state this within the article, and that it does not go against standard wiki guidelines; the information is very important, applicable, and relevant to the article at hand; in acknowledgment of the history of lack of credibility, obviously it was necessary for me to state that yes, while this forum is claiming this, these facts are yet to be confirmed. Hence why i did state it. This aside, i don't think we can assume that these claims are necessarily shit solely because they came out of that particular forum; the post was generated extremely close to midnight, meaning not long after the concert would have ended (as any show that ive been to where SM played, they typically end at around 11) the kid got home, was so excited to hear actual definitive news about the new album, that he posted in hopes to shed light on a topic that so many of us have been in the dark for so long. This is perfectly reasonable to assume to be true, in my opinion, especially if you know anything about true Streetlight Manifesto fans. Had I heard the news at concert, honestly i would have forgone the whole forum and just posted it on wiki, regardless of citation. we dont lie about SM. its as simple as that. so i'm undoing your deletion; remember i never stated it as fact; i was merely stating that a known fan forum generated information that may or may not be true. And for a counterpoint; the last sentence says that SM announced theyre done recording while on tour. I certainly see no citation there. 128.2.251.69 18:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

It IS against Wikipedia policy. See WP:VERIFY. A forum is NOT a reliable source. Especially when the source has been known to make up things in the past that are blatantly false. I know people that went to that show and they didn't say anything about the release month. Even if we get the source from some kid talking to some member of the band, that still is not published and could be highly inaccurate and un-published. I'm not going to let information stand from a forum that is known to put false stuff on Wikipedia.++aviper2k7++

Jmfangio's disruptive behavior

Hey there. This is a comment I'm leaving in response to Jmfangio's disruptive behavior on either Talk:Peyton Manning or Talk:Brett Favre. I would appreciate it if you could go to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive behavior and help solve this situation; whatever assistance you can provide is quite helpful. If you choose not to be a part of this, then that would be perfectly fine, as well. Thank you. Ksy92003(talk) 17:26, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

What was the policy...

...against linking to [[XXX in xxx|XXX]]? There was one, I believe, that resulted in a huge revert war, and I believe that you were the one who pointed it out. I seem to remember it was WP:MOS but I don't exactly remember. Ksy92003(talk) 23:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Point on NFLactive temp

Just read your post and I essentially agree with you (although I'd vote to remove the stats altogether). I'm sure you'll understand why I'm just not sure how to proceed right now. The undrafted thing which was snuck in just prior to the template lock absolutely needs to be removed. I'd be willing to abstain from the editing of that template, but I am not going to do so unless the other people with strong opinions do the same. Perhaps we should expunge the stats link altogether, and leave that for the EL section. I don't know, but while I really want to discuss these things, other's just want to spend most of the time "arguing" and not "discussing". I'll keep an eye on it and chime in if need be. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  21:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

The stat links need to be there, it's in a decent location which is easy to find.++aviper2k7++ 04:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your opinion. I inserted it early on in the discussion as a point of compromise and did not really debate it one way or the other. This is a hot point topic and it seemed to me that the two perspectives were "no stats" or "as many as you wnat" Hence the compromise of 1 stats site. In any event, let's not splinter the conversation, but I just wanted to give you a heads up. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  05:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Brett Favre

Hi Aviper2k7. Would you please give Brett Favre a once over. It received heavy editing today by unregistered users and may benefit from a good review. Thanks. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 00:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

If you're interested

Seeing as your a Packers fan, I found some CC-SA images from the Bears-Packers game on Flickr.

Fair use rationale for Image:Albinoblacksheep.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Albinoblacksheep.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? –Dream out loud (talk) 12:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Moonfalk.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Moonfalk.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

File permission problem with File:Moonfalk.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Moonfalk.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Proposed deletion of Falk Corporation

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

There is an article for the only thing notable about this company, which is the 2006 Falk Corporation explosion. Other than that event, this company is not notable. The majority of the references here are about the explosion. The remainder are about the company being purchased. Searching (Google, G-books) does not turn up sources for the unsourced history information.

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. LaMona (talk) 23:50, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
