March 2009

Please do not add Howoldisit.com to article pages. I consider it spam. Binksternet (talk) 23:54, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

March 2009 Reasons for Vidshow link additions:

Every WIKI page that I have linked to a page on how OLD is it/indexhome.html adds access to a tightly condensed TimeLines of information directly related to the WIKI page. THIS IS NOT SPAM! I resent your labeling this 10 year old public service site with 120 pages including 28,000 dates, names, titles, and places organized into 800 useful TimeLines as spam. I absolutely agree that additions of links to Wikipedia should not alter search engine rankings but the WIKI should be able to be linked to directly related information. I am a good citizen of the WIKI I make it better for everyone whenever I can as you will see from my reorganization of external links for Social Security (United States). Also note the 4 Links pages on hOii.com that cite the research sources used to create hOii - This is a well researched site. Binksternet PLEASE REMOVE YOUR OBJECTIONS and contact me confirm that you approve of my adding links to how OLD is it/indexhome.html. Vidshow (talk) 01:07, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree this is not vandalism or a cut and clear case of vandalism, but since you've obviously met some opposition as to including these links, please discuss their addition on the talk pages of each article. As for the link addition to the USPTO article, I would not support it as the timeline in question is already adequately provided on the USPTO's own website (albeit in a different form) and patents are all dated. Anyway, please discuss them first before trying to re-add them as you will likely meet more opposition and 3RR problems. Thanks. Cquan ^{(after the beep...)} 01:45, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

REPLY: The Patent number issue date TimeLine in hOii is NOT included in the main USPTO article or See also section. The hOii patent Number page provides a fast way to date when any item with a patent number was created.Vidshow (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I see it as spam because the page calls an advertisement using this blacklisted spam-related javascript code: http://pagead2.google^^^^^syndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js (remove the "^^^^^" to see the code I'm talking about.)

REPLY: QUESTION? does this rule eliminate links to every public service information site that includes advertising only to pay for its hosting & registration costs like hOii?Vidshow (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

The supposedly useful content is so tightly organized that it loses encyclopedic context. There are lists of years and clipped text which fail to inform the reader about what is being displayed. It's like linking to pages that have galleries of images about the subject; these are only considered suitable as External links if the images are accompanied by explanatory text supplying encyclopedic relevance.

REPLY:

• how OLD is it = hOii is not an "Encyclopedia Galactia" like the Wiki hopefully is becoming. ie: a container of all knowledge organized by hyper text links. The Wiki is intentionally very loosely structured so that knowledge can pour in from many sources. If you search for the Wiki site map you will not find it.
• hOii is an alternate way of viewing facts in the Wiki because it:

Was compiled by an editor. Has a highly organized Table of Contents. Has a site map. Intentionally limits it's scope to the "Best" works of Human beings. Makes visualizing the greatest of mankind's creations, discoveries, inventions, organizations fast. Needs no disambiguation.

• hOii facts are as tightly compressed as possible.

"footnotes" of www research sources are organized by whole pages not by text entries to minimize page to page navigation.Vidshow (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't see this supposed public service being suited to the articles you posted it at. I sensed from a glance at your editing history, and from the presence of other editors reverting your additions, and from your total lack of talk page involvement at those articles where your links have been removed, that you were not ready to participate as a collaborator in making articles better. That is why I used templates on your user talk page in the same manner as I would a spammer. To be honest, I'm surprised to see you come here and use my talk page, and I'm now sorry I templated you.

After a closer look at your edit history, I see that you are indeed an established contributor to Wikipedia. You created the article Live event visual amplification which has multiple problems including being orphaned and poorly focused (a sound timeline in a visual article? a too-heavy reliance on the Kool Jazz tour?) It has some troubling images that don't appear to be above-board in terms of copyright. Did you really create the Wall of Sound photo? Somebody had to, maybe it was you, but if I had to bet money, I'd say not.

I'm sure now that you added your links to howoldisit.com in good faith. I'll revert my templates which name you a spammer. I reserve my right to take the links out of articles where I think they aren't helping the reader. Binksternet (talk) 01:58, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

REPLY:

Re Sound timeline in a visual article. I wanted to connect all major tools used to amplify and reinforce a live event in a single article. PLEASE suggest how I can improve its structure - I know that links to other articles would be much easier if it were 4 pages but then the maxi view would be lost.

Re reliance on Tubes & Kool Jazz Festival events. Both of these were the first of their kind .

Re John Myers wall of sound. I worked for Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco on numerous Dead shows including the closing of Winterland.Vidshow (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

March 2009 New contributor THOUGHTS & QUESTIONS:

Thanks Binksternet Cquan Rjanag your feedback has really helped me climb a bit higher on the very steep learning curve that contributing to the Wiki demands. ie: You taught me how the User talk pages should be used which I had never used since I began contributing last December.

QUESTION? Is the proliferation of rules making it more & more uninviting to contribute. A prime example is the Wikipedia:Manual of Style with its (40+) bullet point rules - way to many to remember in detail. I mention this because recently a "may require cleanup" warning has appeared on Live event visual amplification with no detail about what problems it is trying to flag. So to remove the tag WOULD I have to learn all (40+) style rules and check every line of text in my article?

Vidshow (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)::

The rules themselves aren't a problem, no one needs to know all the rules to contribute; they're more just there so that they're written down in case of disputes. The only rule you really need to know to start editing is WP:Be bold; the rest you learn as you go.

As for cleaning up your article, the reason for the {{cleanup}} tag is that there are numerous problems needing to be addressed. It is missing references, has no lead section, is poorly written, does not provide enough context on what the article is about, has awkward structure, and has lists that should be written as prose. It also does not seem to be written from a neutral point of view. You can work on all or any of these things; just click one of those links to see more about what the problem is and how to work on writing it. You can also look around at other good articles (listed at WP:Good articles and WP:Featured articles) for models of how to write a good article. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 06:50, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Vidshow, it looks to me from the the Live event visual amplification page that you were trying to do too much with one page. Definitely cut out everything about sound and consider adding it to another article, maybe Public address or Sound reinforcement system or Concert. Past that, the title itself is questionable. Who uses the term "Live event visual amplification"? Inside the article, your "Visual Amplification" section doesn't mention the term "image magnification" a.k.a. "I-Mag"; the projection of an enlarged camera image. Your section title "Live Event Visual Reinforcement" talks about early projection systems that didn't "reinforce" anything—they projected creative materials separate from human movements on stage. Sentences such as "He had probably attended one of the Beat Generation lightshows..." sound like conjecture or spotty personal reminiscence, not an encyclopedia article. None of your references includes an inline link so readers can see for themselves the source of your information. One of your "references" is the caveat "There is no way to prove that concert sound hasn't improved much since the 1970ies because only the "memories" of audience members "recorded" the event." This is not a reference, it's an excuse. To use a conjectural phrase like this, you would have to quote somebody in the business. Binksternet (talk) 15:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

REPLY: You are so right Binksternet - I will implement your suggestions ASAP - Please continue your very helpful coaching.Vidshow (talk) 10:43, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Visual reinforcement shadow play.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Visual reinforcement shadow play.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 13:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 13:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Your edits

Please don't mess with the section headers, as you did in these edits. We're generally not supposed to use first-level headings (like = Header =), see Wikipedia:Layout#Headings_and_sections, so you shouldn't change any of them to a first-level header.

Likewise, don't remove spaces between lines of text. There need to be two lines between each paragraph, not one, for it to display properly. For example,

Lorem ipsum

Lorem ipsum

displays properly as:

Lorem ipsum

Lorem ipsum

But

Lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum

displays improperly as:

Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum

I am trying to help you clean up your article, so please don't revert formatting corrections like these. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 06:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
