Medals per capita

Thank you for your note.

I just want to make the encyclopedia better. It seems as though WP:SYNTH would allow division as well as multiplication. If you don't agree, please tell me why. If you do agree, I would really appreciate it if you were to withdraw the nomination, please.

Is there a position you think I am trying to advance? I assure you that my nation is not in the top-25, but I feel weird when private information is discussed, like I would have to prove to you where I live to defend against accusations of WP:SYNTH.

Since medals per capita is not an official statistic of the IOC, I don't see why we should prefer the IOC method of counting medals, but I would be happy to include both in separate sortable columns. It's just a lot of work and I'm not sure my table skills are up for it; or whether I have enough spare time to do it at the moment, or whether it would be a productive use of my time. It's discouraging to go through this. Neut Nuttinbutter (talk) 00:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you mind?

What point of view do you accuse me of trying to push with your as-yet unwithdrawn accusations of POV-pushing?

Why have you not withdrawn your WP:NOR and WP:RS accusations in light of the eight international news media sources Sad mouse added to 2008 Summer Olympics medals per capita?

Do you disagree with WP:CCC; if so, why?

Do you disagree with WP:OI; if so, why?

Thank you. Neut Nuttinbutter (talk) 16:33, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Can we whack this guy? Just look at his user discussion page... he needs a cooling period chill out or more education. His presence here wasted the time and efforts of many honest wikipedians. Look at the pile of people that had to clean up after his trail of posts. Hes been warned enuf times, he had his chances. Whack him plz. Shaoquan (talk) 08:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

About the AfD

Colin, I have commented on the AfD that you sent me. I believe that having multiple sources on something still does not necessarily establish notability as an encyclopedia article.

BTW, do you still use MSN or such? You disappeared for a long time. I have no other means of contecting you other than on Wiki. (Anyway? Do you use Facebook? Send me an e-mail on Wiki. I have that enabled.) SYSS Mouse (talk) 16:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Shiver.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Shiver.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Image source problem with Image:LSF.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:LSF.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:11, 28 September 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 20:11, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Consequence of Sound Links

To whom this may concern. I respect your opinion, but I must disagree. Not only do I take great offense to your view of the publication, one of which has been featured in a variety of publications, including New York Magazine, MTV.com, and The Chicago Tribune, but one that is well respected within the Internet community. As great as Wikipedia may be, I don't believe it should determine what should be read and not read, especially when the reasons for why it shouldn't are absurd. I posted the link not for spam, but to add another review for the album at question.

I hope you reconsider your decision. If not, it's a sad day when censorship overpowers well-written reviews. AxYoung (talk) 16:31, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Ridiculous

We are not "spamming" by any means. We are a licensed business, in which it is our job to review, critique, what have you, on music related businesses. Thus, our album reviews have just as much of a merit as other small publications.

Professional Review

Can you please explain your reasoning for removing watchingthewest's review for Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3, Watchingthewest is a small yet highly credible reviewer, it's writing is informative and unique and its editorial is of a high quality, It's not a blog and its jounalists are paid therefore it must fall in line with the "professional reviewer" criteria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by J1mmyTam (talk • contribs) 12:29, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Gordy Ramsey

I'm sorry you misinterpret my comments on the Gordon Ramsey Talk page as some sort of "personal attack", but that is clearly not the case. A bit direct, perhaps undiplomatic, yes. But quite clearly not a personal attack and certainly directed at no specific fellow Wikipedian. I am firm in my views, do not expect them to change, nor am I flexible when I see what is clearly POV double standards. I am not inclined to hold my tongue in such cases, as those who are "offended" generally are pushing a view that is incompatible with well established Wikipedia policies, in this case trying to censor what is clearly allowed ("The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth"), in favor of a PR friendly but non accurate view of current events surounding Chef Ramsey.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Continuing the tradition

TAR names

Give me one legit reason why you're reverting my edits. wikipedia's pov on China is very clear that China "commonly" refers to the PRC. There's not the slightest confusion here. And the China redirects goes right to the PRC, along with the right flag. The guidelines you pointed me to deal with ROC and Taiwan, which clearly is not the case here at all. The article on TAR 12 uses "Taiwan" and notice I did not change them to the "republic of China".

TAR names (contd.)

First, let me make it clear that threatening really makes no difference. I've tried make a lot of real contributions to this place but all I find out is dogmatic people who makes this place their little haven. And I've seen real vandals go jack free after a week leaving them to add expletives to articles again. The more you insult and threaten me, the less faith I have in this place at all.

I'm not proving a point, I'm just trying to make the TAR articles a lot more readable as a fellow TAR fan. Seriously, nobody goes around and say "look I just came back from a trip to Beijing, People's Republic of China. Did you even read how seriously strained some of the articles sounded like with the whole name everytime? In fact in the PRC article, the 1st line states "The People's Republic of China, **commonly known as China** [...].' If you really care about the guidelines, read them again. I've gone over the guidelines several times now and still there is nowhere it says to use the full name PRC where it is mentioned. The flag and the redirect link speak more than enough already. However, there is one section calling for using ROC's full name in official cases, but I agree with your pragmatism. But why the double standard on China?

Also if you care about what TAR refers to China as, and I just went over past episodes, in all legs if refers to it (at the finish map and by the greeter) as "China". The clue says go to "China." As on the Taiwan issue, Taiwan is an island, but the use of the word "capital" and again the greeting mat displays "Taipei, Taiwan" which clearly shows what TAR refers to it as. The most politically neutral and internationally accepted term for Taiwan is clearly Chinese Taipei that is not used. But that doesn't even matter anymore. Since this is an English encyclopedia, it is obviously the best to use the most colloquially accepted terms, and that is "China" in this case and "Taiwan" in the other case.

I don't really want to start lengthy discussions and put up neutrality disputes, espeically on an TAR page and not on some political page. It really seesms the only person opposing this is you. If my above points doesn't convince, then we can always grind the bureaucracy and put crazy tags everywhere and I really don't want to do that. 128.12.90.195 (talk) 18:34, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

1. You have to follow the reproduce the information provided in the reliable source. In the case of the original Billboard source, there was no separation between the main set and encore. Thus your edit showing such separation is simply unsourced and also in vio of WP:NOR.
2. Your alternative source (Suite 101) consists primarily of freelance writers and lacks the editorial screening/fact-checking found necessary in WP:RS. Specifically, the Coldplay review was written by a senior English major, with no actual journalistic credentials. Also note that Suite101 is actually on Wiki's global spam blacklist, so it's basically unacceptable as a reliable source. Hence, I went digging and found an article one from a published newspaper, which also included a proper setlist indicating both the main set and the encore. No need to insert personal commentary/research on where the main set ends and the encore begins.
3. Please don't issue threats/ultimatums towards other editors per WP:HARASS. Thanks --Madchester (talk) 05:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ode to Deodorant/Brothers + Sisters

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ode to Deodorant/Brothers + Sisters, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable demo tape. Fails WP:NALBUMS (and WP:NSONGS).

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.

Replaceable fair use Image:SomethingStupidVideo.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:SomethingStupidVideo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 10:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Hedo_Türkoğlu

Hi, please see Hedo_Türkoğlu#Current dispute, I have asked all parties to discuss this matter and desist from the revert war. There has been zero engagement at talk. I am on the verge of increasing the semi to full protection of this article. I note that you are quoting WP:CRYSTAL to one party and "Avoid predicted sports team line-ups, which are inherently unverifiable and speculative" but that needs to be balanced against reports from main stream reliable sources such as espn and nba.com. Just because something hasn't actually happened yet doesn't mean it cannot be included if it has been reliably confirmed or discussed. The reliable sources make this something of a content dispute, not a simple case of unsourced information being added. I don't think that this dispute will resolve itself by attempting to simply prevent the inclusion of information that is so clearly well reported, the solution would seem to be to have everyone work towards wording it correctly so that it does not make any claims or assumptions that are not backed by the facts. Mfield (Oi!) 18:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Umm, the reverted version is correct now. As I said on Broy7's talk page, we don't overhaul an entire article per WP:CRYSTAL - i.e., change the lead sentence/lede, team infobox, etc to reflect a transaction that is unofficial or speculative. If you look down the body of the article, there's already a mention of the current transaction in the works, which is appropriate per WP:DUE given its tentative nature. --Madchester (talk) 18:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, not sure how I missed that that paragraph had been added since the semi protection. Agreed also that that paragraph more that suffieces to cover the facts of the situation and that the infobox etc. should not be changed until the deal is set in stone. I am going to clarify this on talk. Mfield (Oi!) 18:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing in regard to the Talk:North St. Paul, Minnesota discussion page to which you recently made an edit to reverse my edit made on July 5 under the username gandolf8787. I removed comments on the discussion page that were untrue and libelous in nature made by you, a Wikipedia administrator, and others. The comments are defamatory and not related to the article. For both of those reasons, they do not belong there and should be removed.

If you continue to place libelous comments on Wikipedia about me or my blog, I will pursue legal action against you and Wikipedia. I expect your cooperation in this matter. It will not be difficult to subpoena your IP address. Your Canadian residency will not shield you from legal action.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Gordon Ramsay Cookalong Live.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Gordon Ramsay Cookalong Live.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Updates to Kitchen Nightmares

Madchester, while you're enjoying your break, you might want to take a look in at the Kitchen Nightmares (US) article and talk page. We've removed the updates, in part on the strength of the arguments you made on the UK page, and aligned the two articles in style a bit more. This should in turn strengthen the case against the addition of updates to the Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (UK) page. Drmargi (talk) 20:01, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Coldplay external link

Can you please point out specifically what portion of WP:EL says that the 60 minutes interview with Coldplay not merit inclusion as an external link in the article? However whatever (talk) 12:40, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

U locked The Blueprint 3

U locked The Blueprint 3. So now Im unable to edit it. Pls correct the article as the lead says "The CamelFace Adventure is the upcoming..." when it should say "The Blueprnt 3 is the upcoming". Thanks.

Also do tracklistings no longer have the songwriters listed? Bc the 'track listing' section (on this page & other album pages) now have the producers listed? When was that started? Thanks. 70.108.130.180 (talk) 01:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Bloor-Bryant-Sheppard.jpg

You should consider uploading the photo (along with other photos of yours) to Wikimedia Commons OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 06:17, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

you might also wanna add this photo - http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7682/38852789175ee5aff3bfo.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.30.202.11 (talk) 17:01, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

1. I only upload self-taken photos; I can't verify the source, veracity, or attribution for your photo
2. That photo would violate WP:NPOV/WP:BLP, as it focuses on one person's take on the incident by labelling Bryant as a murderer.... The point of my photo is A) to show the general location of the incident and B) show how the traffic flows at that location... so that it gives people (even those outside Toronto) a better picture of what happened that evening. Note that my neither my image nor caption doesn't blame Bryant or Sheppard as being responsible for the incident..... --Madchester (talk) 19:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

"The End"

I see what you mean about it being "unconfirmed", but when people who have the game are posting the dreamscape for the song, it's confirmed. Not officially, but there's no question about its legitimacy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.107.190 (talk) 15:11, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Coincidental

What's your basis for accusing me of "sockpuppetry"?

Just because you've never heard of a certain band or event, doesn't make it non-notable. I would say a band that's released three moderately successful albums and has received national radio airplay is obviously notable, though maybe not as famous as a band like Coldplay.
