Hi Cyberia23. Thanks for notifying me about User:Dan Frederiksen. I have commented on my Talk page.

I have also left a lengthy message at User talk:Tedder, asking Tedder for some information about the strange decision to permanently block Dan Frederiksen. Dolphin51 (talk) 10:46, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory episode on the Bilderberg group
There is a current discussion on whether to mention the Bilderberg episode cliams on the Bilderberg group page, or on a separate page. The discussion is taking place here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Jesse_Ventura_and_Bilderberg_Group John Hyams (talk) 13:34, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura
Please do not clot-up articles with garish colors like that. Also, please do not revert others without an edit summary, while marking the edit as minor. Regards, Jack Merridew 06:29, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Seems like your not wanting color on the list is a matter of your personal preference there buddy and there has been color on that list for a long time now until you come along and get rid of it. Is there some policy you can direct me to that says the color cannot be there? Cyberia23 (talk) 06:32, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I didn't say it was a policy. It is, however, a stunning poor practice to hard-code markup like that. It does not matter that it had been there a while, and I do note that you put it there in the first place, so it's your personal preference we're discussing; I merely wikified that page. Regards, Jack Merridew 06:44, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Kindly stop reverting my clean-up efforts; I'll have a discussion with you, if you're willing. Regards, Jack Merridew 06:48, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * What's to discuss? Your obviously one of those people who enforce your own stupid agenda and personal preferences like it's part of Wikipedia policy and here is what happens: If I decide to revert you again, you'; declare an edit war, threaten me with either a ban (if you're an admin) or go cry to the admins who'll then talk down to me like I'm 7-year old, then I try to defend my reasoning and point out the real issue here and then I get blocked for a week while you destroy this place. That's what happens. It's happened before. Nothing gets resolved. So do what you want. Thanks. Cyberia23 (talk) 07:02, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * "Stupid"? You've been here long enough to know better. I see on your user page that you're a graphic designer, so I expect you know that pure red is rather meretricious. I also see that on some other pages you've edited, today.
 * If you've nothing to discuss, I will do as I believe best; for the moment, however, I'm off. And, please, keep threads on one page, as they make little sense when half is on one page, and the other half is on another. Jack Merridew 07:13, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * If you wanted the colors changed then why didn't you just change them? Why gray everything out? To me that looked like you didn't want colors at all and I found that "stupid". Anyway, I added lighter colors. If this ok with you then I guess the situation is taken care of. Cyberia23 (talk) 07:40, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Just because I commented on the red does not mean I merely preferred less "harsh" colors. Do you have a reason, beyond a personal preference, to mark these table up with colors? It seems to me to just be gratuitous ornamentation and unwarranted. I didn't "gray the out", I standardized them use wikitable's color-scheme, which is muted for maximum web accessibility (nb: WP:COLOR). I've revisited some of the pages in question and have cleaned them up, but a have held-off on removing the coloring while we're discussing the problem. For background (pun noted), see separation of presentation and content; the article rather sucks, but the principle is widely accepted as best practice. Regards, Jack Merridew 18:20, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

My reasoning for adding colors is:
 * 1) There is an option in the script for adding the color to begin with and that means it can be used. If not then it should be removed from the script.
 * 2) I believe it helps to indicate when looking at the list, what season the episode is in, for the case of programs with multiple seasons.
 * 3) I'm not the only one adding colors to episode lists, in the beginning I didn't add color, then I saw others doing it, thought it looked good and did it for the shows I've contributed to.
 * 4) I disagree with keeping this place looking like a sterile hospital room (as you observantly pointed out I'm a graphics designer that shit bugs me). I'm not asking for flowered wall paper here, but if you say adding a color bar or two does harm in some way I'd have to say it smells like a heaping pile of bullshit.

Although you might not be one of them, I'm simply taking up defense ahead of time just to let you know what you're getting into in dealing with me (just an FYI, no threats or personal attacks intended) – I absolutely despise people around here who crawl out of the woodwork and start changing things just because they don't like it, or say it's messing up their computer, or say that it's policy when it's clearly not, or it's the proper methodology when it's over a stupid article they'll look at once and never come back to (unless of course they get reverted).

Most so-called "policy" around are nothing more than general guidelines and are not absolute law. I've dealt with people like this in the past many times, and it always results in stupid arguments over rather trivial matters that turn ugly rather quickly. I am willing to work with said individuals on a compromise to the limits of my ability, but if you're dead set on getting rid of colors permanently then I will do what I can to stop you because I know its not up to you to solely decide what an article should look like.

This "machine readability" thing you linked to, I don't know who wrote it, but it gives me a damn headache. The gist I think I get and seems as lame as concept as the last shitstorm I was involved in where I was told by a user that I have to set up an article to conform to their computer monitor size, which they said was using "the computer standard" and there was Wikipedia policy to back it up.

I laughed because computer monitors vary widely in size and they failed at showing me this rule that I had to somehow edit table widths so the information sidebar wouldn't leave white space gaps. Nonetheless the arguments with this individual skyrocketed out of control, others got involved, I got blocked for making personal attacks when I was merely responding to their scathing rants. The admin eventually saw she was in the wrong and unblocked me, but I lost some editing privileges. It eventually ended with, and I quote a "fuck all ya all" response form the individual.

Anyway, I really don't want to go through shit like this again. It's a stupid thing to argue about. said I try and stop you, but this place is going down the toilet fast and I don't think I wanna jump in with it anymore. So do what you want, but it's no guarantee you won't piss off others in doing so. Cyberia23 (talk) 19:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what script you're referring to, but it's something that I would be interested in looking at. Things like season numbers are best done with explicit text (and are, in the articles we're discussing), and indicating such detail with color is problematic for about 10% of people due to differences in their vision (color blindness and other issues). And, ya, I'm aware that others are enamored with all the crayons in the box. Having spent some time in hospitals, I know too well that they favor things like awful shades of green. I see the riot of color that some prefer as noise distracting from the actual content. The sea of advertising most editors are exposed to probably has a lot to do do with this. It's all attention-seeking and intent on manipulating.
 * I have a lot of background in color and user experience. A core concern is the hard-coding of markup; it's ridiculous to allow control of color on a line-by-line basis (what episode list allows for LineColor, not what you're doing). If color is warranted in certain cases it should be determined by a solid consensus, not individual preference, and the implementation should be centralized in a template or (and better) in a CSS style sheet. *That's* the core idea of the principle of separation of presentation and content. It's unclear to me just what piece you're referring to as being about "machine readability" but all those links are worth reading and applying.
 * I'm unfamiliar with whatever past disputes you've had. From your comments, I'd say some of the criticism was off-base. For example, many people have trouble with the concept that others use screen resolutions other than their own; even professionals have a lot of trouble here. A lot of graphic designers have this trouble, too, as they're focused on media that has a fixed size. It used to be that screens didn't vary so much, but these days people are using small handheld devices and displays a meter across. Fixed widths are often inappropriately hard-coded, too, and can result in silly layouts on devices whomever doesn't use. Jack Merridew 20:30, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * By script I meant the LineColor tag to put color bars between the episode entries. I did manually add the matching colors to the headers at the beginning of each episode list for sake of aesthetics. Sorry, but the 10% users who have color blindness thing doesn't make sense to me. I mentioned hospital decor as an analogy to drabness, I was being rhetorical.

Anyway, I don't agree that the colors distract from the content. As for machine readability I thought your point to all this was a problem with how things like iPods and Droid phones display the content to this website. If it doesn't show up properly I don't think it's a big deal and it because this site wasn't meant to be displayed on small screens. Technology is forcing us to shoe-horn shit into place so everyone can have smooth access to it. Although there are problems in such displays, I highly doubt the table colors are a major problem. Really there should be two internets, one for computers and one for little toys like these stupid cell phones.

 * As for reaching consensus on allowing the colors to stay or go, if you want to go that route then fine, but I feel consensus largely fails for low traffic articles like these TV shows which deal with niche information only a handful of people care about. If these were major articles, with lots of people involved with them then consensus might be reached quickly. In this case, no one gives a shit and attention only gets drawn if the debate over it gets into a screaming match. In that case someone gets blocked (usually the more vocal opposition) and nothing gets resolved.

 * Anyway, I disagree that the colors are distracting or muck up the works for shoehorn technology. I think they should stay as I see no evidence against it. Cyberia23 (talk) 07:08, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura
Hi Cyberia23. I noticed that you made the edits to the Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura page indicating that two episodes in Season 2 (BP Oil Spill and The Pentagon) had been "removed for rescheduling at a later date." Do you know what's going on with that? It also appears that S02E04 (The Police State) has disappeared from the TruTV website entirely, as if it was never aired; however, it's still listed on the Wikipedia page.

Pompous? (Re: the Rye-Ben/Bye-Ren Issue)
I'm going to see if I can resist the urge to be pure a******e here, because, I am an a******e.

I made the change as soon as I finished tacking my reply to your wall, because your justification for changing the article in the first place relied on an unreliable source. That is my biggest issue in all this. Since you didn't have the book, you found another source to try and justify your change instead of not making the change at all.

As for the other issues, the book itself isn't much of an issue. You saw it, and you missed the reference. That happens. Claiming the "niche" Traveller fan would go by the main rule book is simply funny. As a member of the Citizens of the Imperium forums, I have yet to find anyone that plays the game with "just" the main rule book. In fact they freely cannibalize from other editions of the rules.

P.S. No, I'm not losing any sleep over any of this. Getting into an argument is a welcome relief after spending five hours changing passwords to every single website I frequent. ;) Sege1701 (talk) 06:32, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

 * The issue is, I didn't verbally berate you over your edit, so I don't deserve your smartassed comments. I reverted your edit on a hunch that you could have been wrong and seeing the Wikia site spelled it the other way as well, I took that bet, but having said "I can't be sure" (in case you didn't get it, and you obviously didn't), I invited the change back to how you had it. All you had to say was, "the Alien's Archive said it was misspelled in the main book" and that would have been good enough but you'd rather insult me as well.

 * You say what irked you was me citing an "unreliable source," but what I really think is your problem is that you don't like to be challenged on something, and if you wanna be an editor on Wikipedia you better get used to it. What makes this situation laughable is that it's over something so trivial - the name of an alien race in some obscure sci-fi game – which to be honest isn't worth running out to try and verify so much. So, by saying "I could be wrong" means I would gladly take your word for it (whether I thought you were wrong or not) because it's stupid niche info and nothing so critical as to shatter the stability of the world. It's not like we were arguing over abortion rights, gay marriage, or other major political issue, which in that case I'd work to try and make sure I was correct on something that I changed.

 * Get where I'm coming from? Probably not, so in closing I'd just like to say if you're looking for an argument over something, try tackling a real issue worth arguing about. As for dumb, made-up geek info like alien names, I suggest using some constructive criticism perhaps and not sweat the small shit. Cyberia23 (talk) 13:17, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Conspiracy theory
Hello, howdy and salutations; You restored: "In the episode, Ventura and guest Alex Jones stated that Vantage's business connections to Halliburton, (a major government contractor with ties to leaders in Washington), only deepened the conspiracy that the bins were part of a secret depopulation program." in the Conspiracy theory article. Is there any way that we could cite this with reliable sources? I realize you are referring back to the program itself but it has been my experience that anything "conspiracy" related can get pretty out of hand if you don't stick with verifiability. Cheers, V7-sport (talk) 20:51, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

You wrote: "The flags to be displayed for GHI are the national flags. Wales, Scotland and England are all part of one nation, the United Kingdom.

The hidden notes indicating this that you deleted without regard, were placed there for a reason. Using regional flags is incorrect. It is an "InterNATIONal" show "NATION" being the key-word here."

Black Triangle image
I think an actual photograph which a reliable source (the UK Ministry of Defence) considers to be a "Black Triangle Class UFO" is more appropriate/informative/encyclopedic for the Black Triangle article header than an artists rendition that looks like it was done in MSpaint.

[edit] Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura
The lack of citation is itself what I was showing. No political or corporate person or body has shown proof contrary to evidence shown in that episode. Right now the controversy section reads like an opinion piece; siding against the shows evidence. Balancing that blatant opinion with the statement of fact that there is no cited reference from ANY G/C body should stand to neutralise that section. Lostinlodos (talk) 17:30, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you are like the only other person that seems to edit the Ancient Aliens page with positive things.... It's really sad that they've found ways to incorporate all of the negative views, the episode descriptions are really our only hope for trying to show what the show is about. I'm sure you saw the big argument I had with the other editors, I got accused of vandalism and the whole bit. I'm fed up with it, I'll just try to avoid looking at the page and getting disgusted. The show is obviously about defying mainstream science, but they feel that needs to be all over the article I guess. *sigh* Anyway, I was just going to say thanks for your work. I can see why you silently edit the page, It's impossible to get through to those people, don't know why I even tried. --Xm638 (talk) 01:10, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Blakes 7 additions
Hi there

Thanks for letting me know about the summaries. I will keep my additions shorter.

As for the personal opinions, I guess it's all in the wording. I will be more careful about that, but one thing I want to inform you is that much of the existing Blakes 7 material is highly biased. Whoever wrote it may have coached it to 'sound' neutral and objective, but it shows strong leanings to encourage inaccurate views about the show and its characters by deliberately omitting certain types of canon facts and making up other ones.

There are a lot of claims about the character of Blake saving all kinds of people, but in those episodes, it was not Blake who did those actions, it was other members of the crew. There is also a lot of mentions of the crew being saved, but deliberate omission that it was usually Avon performed those acts. That is a clear bias towards Blake and against Avon.

It is also claimed in the articles that Blake was increasingly successful, which is a personal opinion which has no basis in canon fact. Any careful observation of the series will show that Blake was rarely successful in reality, he only acted like he was.

The articles also completely ignores all the moral issues raised by Blake immoral actions, while continually mentioning Avon was self-serving, when in canon there were only a few instances. That is highly biased writing, done by omission and 'facts' that are made up rather coming from canon, rather than what I did which was clearly opinionated writing.

There is no mention of Blake's betrayal of the human race which was the key fact of his final episode in season 2, but which is suspiciously omitted in the original article. That is not an opinion. It is canon fact. And it is bias by using omission.

I personally think Blake was a terrorist. He committed regular acts of mass murder, blowing people up or attacking them without warning, just to meet his own political agenda and using mass murder as a regular form of eliminating people not even related to his cause or people who had never done anything wrong, something which even his own crew on the show objected to. But I guess I'm not allowed to mention that kind of canon fact.

It is because of that rampant bias that I was moved to fix the article in the first place.

If you don't mind, I will try to fix the canon errors and biases in the articles and try to keep it short and neutral this time.

The Wiki rules for neutrality are to portray information fairly, proportionately and without bias. I recognize that mine, by itself, wasn't. But looking at the entire article, I was providing the fair and proportionate details that were missing in a highly biased article. I would also like to remove the biased descriptions of the characters in the original article, and I will try not to use biased language in my own descriptions.

Blakes 7 Deletions - reply
Hey there

Thanks for your quick replies. It's much appreciated that you show such care in your edits.

In terms of watching the show, I've been studying it in detail since about 3 years ago when I first watched the show. I watch each episode back to back, all four seasons in the space of a week the first time around. I'm also a systems analyst so I compile details and stats obsessively and the more I gathered the more I realized Blake was much worse than his surface portrayal and Avon was far better than his attitude suggested.

Facts are the facts. The opinions of them are according to the viewer.

"For example the episode where the crew get sick from radiation poisoning on Cephelon, you say Blake forces Avon to research Orac. I remember Avon walking on the flight deck, ready to plop down in the lounge and Blake asks him to watch the video of the shuttle explosion and to see if he sees anything unusual. Afterward Avon gets light headed and said he was just tired. Blake didn't tell him to research Orac - how could he anyway since Orac was top secret and Blake didn't even know what Orac was because he hadn't seen it yet. That's just the way I remember it going down."

The scene was like this. Avon and Jenna are already not feeling well by the time Blake does his research. During this research, Avon twice has physical symptoms showing he is not well. We know this is a fact because we are told by Cally that he's suffering from severe radiation poisoning and is dying. He is feeling horrible, not just a 'little' lightheaded.

The first symptom, Avon winces in pain. That is very clear in the episode. Blake ask if he's alright. Avon says, "Ah, yes. I, I just felt a little dizzy, that's all." Avon may say he's alright, BUT he also says he's feeling dizzy and Blake knows he was exposed to a lot of radiation on the planet. I don't know about you but dizziness is never a good sign. Most caring people try to find out what is wrong or they decide that maybe the person needs a rest and shouldn't continue working.

The second time, Avon doubles over, there is no question he's in trouble. Blake asks if he's alright and Avon again says, "Yes, of course I'm all right."

Again, if a friend of yours doubles over like that, would you continue pursuing your own agenda or conclude that the person is in trouble but is too proud to admit it? Well, Blake continues working Avon and shows not a bit of concern that this man exhibited pain and dizziness, and then doubled over.

Even after Cally tells Blake that "Jenna is very sick. Gan is, too." And not only that, Avon, Jenna, Gan and Vila are all dying and "need treatment and...need it quickly", meaning the last thing they should be doing is working.

But what does Blake do despite knowing this? He continues pursuing his own agenda even though Avon is lying down, trying to rest. He keeps talking to him, doing more research, not giving him the chance to rest. Just like he doesn't give Jenna a chance to rest even though he and Cally are both perfectly fine and can pilot the ship.

Speaking of "I wonder if perhaps you are watching an entirely different version of the show as your "facts" seemed more than a bit skewed."

Blake had Avon continue researching Ensor. And yes, Blake knew about ORAC even before the episode, "ORAC." That is in canon.

Blake: "He also spoke of something called 'Orac' and claimed the Federation was willing to pay one hundred million credits to obtain it."

Blake: "Well, if the Federation is prepared to pay one hundred million credits then Orac must be fairly important."

Blake: "I think it's the importance the Federation is placing on Orac that bothers me."

Blake: "Ensor went to Federation Space Headquarters. He wanted medical assistance. He also wanted to sell something of enormous value."

This is all from the opening scene in the episode. If you don't believe me, watch the scene.

Blake was very clearly after ORAC. He had no interest in Ensor as a man, something which he very clearly revealed when he met him and made no moves to save the man's life until Ensor snarked at him. He researched Ensor because he wanted to know about ORAC.

I am always careful about canon facts and I am rarely wrong when referring to them because I have all the episodes, plus I use the transcripts religiously (though the Horizon transcripts are also full of biased errors if you compare them line by line to the original show, which I did). I find that the difference between my own analysis and other people's is that I look at the entire scenes and episodes, not just portions of them. It gives a very different perspective when you look at it that way, or at least, I have found it that way. Perhaps others don't see it that way. In the end, for fans, it is all personal opinion and judgement imposed on 'facts,' my own included.

Please don't claim that I'm "watching an entirely different version of the show" while you claim "They are not as I remembered them and I actually watched the show all the way through quite recently because I found a file share of them so the memories are kind of fresh." when Blake clearly knew about ORAC in that episode and was after it and it is in canon, and not some "skewed" version of my own

Perhaps we are watching different versions of the show, but mine contains those lines and has Avon and Blake acting like that.

And I don't agree that the article shows that Blake is an anti-hero. He seems to be portrayed as a heroic savior without any flaws because none of them are mentioned and no negative adjectives are used in his description whereas there are clearly negative things said of Avon. I am just looking for a little parity and fairness in the article. Kalinda001 (talk) 06:13, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Blakes 7 Deletions - reply
Thanks, Cyberia23. I'm really impressed with the immediacy of your responses and your objectivity. Much appreciated.

I will try to fix the errors and inaccuracies I see in the articles and give them a more balanced view. I will also try to be neutral and stick to canon facts.

I noticed negative descriptions of Avon, and descriptions of Avon doing bad things, while not one positive thing he does is mentioned or attributed to him, at least not in S1 or S2, which is about as far I could go into the articles without trying to fix it.

Can I similarly use negative descriptions of Blake, and list the bad things he does, without being accused of not being neutral?

The problem with this is that most fans seem to remember canon facts wrong, which usually comes out when they watch the show more carefully. The reason why I provided more detail was to show the canon facts in its full context. Kalinda001 (talk) 07:56, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try to work on it over the next month or so. I'm currently busy finishing a novel and just took some time off to take a break today and decided to do some research on B7.

Does that mean that I can remove some references in the original article that makes Blake look good and uses negative references for Avon? I will look at the character pages. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, remember me? Happy 2012. We edited a number of entries on documentary/paranormal-related TV programming. How do you feel about the current state of such networks?

Apparently, formerly documentary-themed channels like the History and Discovery channels have given way to "reality" programming. Other topics such channels exploit include 2012 and paranormal events. Many documentary viewers criticize this trend. Here are some grievances that might interest you. Hope you enjoy.

Mysterious Cities of Gold titles
Hello Cyberia23,

Nice to be able to talk someone about this !

The plot about MCoG titles is a long and complicated story I have detailed years ago in the magazine of the fan-club "Les Enfants du Soleil" and discuted with the author Jean Chalopin many years ago. I try to summary it here.

As I assume you know, titles don't appears in the show, neither in France nor in US version. Only japanese version has titles. When first broadcast in France, some titles were published. There were the exact translation of japanese titles. When web sites appeared in the late 90's, many has completed the list with titles of their invention. Years later, when the show was edited in DVD in France, the titles were taken from this sites, then translated in english... Thus, these titles have replaced the original ones. Nevertheless, some of them are not good, for several reasons. Here are some examples :

Titles incompleted :

10. Secret of the Temple (underground)

11. Messengers of the Region (of the mysteries)

13. Mystery of the Parents (Esteban's parents)

Bad translation from french title :

15. The Subterranean Secret (underground would be better)

17. The Great Condor (in the US show, it is talked about The Golden Condor)

18. Maiden Flight of the Great Condor (same reason than above)

27. The Doors of Night (it is talked about A door)

38. The Great Legacy (in the US show, it is talked about The Great Treasure)

Titles non fitting with episode :

3. Heroes again (why again ? which heroes ?)

20. The Spaniards' Cannon (this title would fit with episode 14, not 20)

And so many titles not translated from japanese ones, because they are invention of french fans.

We could talk about titles not very good for the plot but this is subjective.

The titles I have put on Wikipedia are from UK video tapes and translated from french original titles. They were validated by Jean Chalopin then used in french DVD edition in 2008, not in UK because when I contacted Fabulous Films, the DVD were already made. But if this "big mistake of information transmission" is repaired, the next DVD editions will be corrected...

So, what could we do for this ?

Regards

Viracoche

Um actualy, I havent updated this wiki in almost 6 months, actually probably more than that. It's not called laziness, its called having a life. You can delete this if you want I dont care, but I have to know why you are such a friggin DICK to me all the time? You think because you edit on wiki that you are someone. Well, I might not edit mine because I am "lazy", but you must have no life at all to be on here 24/7 complaining and fixing "your" wiki's. My wiki is NOT your wiki to edit all the time.

Um, Brian? As in "Brian Haronis" of Ghost Hunters? LOL! Explain to me sir, how am I being a "friggin dick" to you "all the time" when I don't even know you except for what you write about yourself here and seeing you on a stupid TV show. I'm sorry if you're mad that edited your Wikipedia article, but I was just trying to make it conform to proper Wikipedia writing standards, you know, so it looks like someone educated wrote it instead of a 3rd grader. But I'm sorry, I bet your "life" is so busy since you're a famous celebrity and all, that you don't have enough time to learn proper English and how to type when you're not chasing "ghosts." But whatever dude, I really don't give a fuck about your article, so you can write it however you want. I won't bother with it anymore. Cyberia23 (talk) 03:52, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Commas
Please be mindful of correct grammar rules in English and Wikipedia-wide standards with regards to the use of commas in the following examples:

1) He grew up in San Francisco, California, during the 1960s (a comma MUST always follow the state of California in example one). 2) She grew up in Jalisco, Mexico, during the 1960s (a comma MUST always follow the nation of Mexico in example two). 3) The Golden Gate Bridge is a popular San Francisco, California landmark (a comma should NOT follow the state of California in example three because "San Francisco, California" is acting as an adjectival phrase of the noun, "landmark"). 4) Mariachi is a Jalisco, Mexico style of music (a comma should NOT follow the nation of Mexico in example four because "Jalisco, Mexico" is acting as an adjectival phrase of the noun, "style").

I would like to request that you please revert the Fact or Faked article back to the edits that inserted the NECESSARY commas after all the states and nations where applicable. If you are unable to re-implement the previous edits, then please do NOT change future edits that insert commas after states and nations in order to adhere to correct grammar rules in English as well as to conform to Wikipedia-wide standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.104.107.218 (talk) 11:09, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I just reverted 10 or 11 images where you removed the fair use rationale. (not all of them) If you wish, I can upload a new image myself for these images--or in maybe 2 images revert back what I did.

 * Please do! This whole thing is ridiculous. Under prodding from another editor, Cyberia23 has removed the one-and-only image that illustrates Requiem for Methuselah. But if you go over to the privately-owned Wikia that hosts the Star Trek wiki Memory Alpha, you'll see 30 screen shots used in the gallery that supports that article, all of them uploaded ostensibly under fair-use. The difference being that Memory Alpha is actualy a commerical site that generates advertising revenue-- so they make money from the "free-use" of these photos! As such, if THEY don't get take-down notices from the Paramount lawyers, I'm sure U.S. Wikipedia can support a few Star Trek screenshots (so long as nobody tries to upload one to COMMONS). As long as it's less than Wikia's Memory Alpha, we should be okay. You know what's pernicious about this? Every time we see Star Trek-related content material, including screenshots, disappear from WP and wind up on Wikia's Memory Alpha, that's money going into Jimbo Wales' pocket. Do we not sense a conflict of interest in the fact that rogue editors are allowed to bedevil their fellows about this kind of copyright crap on en.WP, yet at the same time we know they would be crushed like a Pringles can at the bottom of the Mariana Trench if they tried that kind of thing (claiming violation of NFCC) on Memory Alpha? Kind of makes you wonder, eh? There are people here working for Jimbo, in ways they can't even fathom.  S  B Harris 04:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Removing non-free images

 * PS: Cyberia, do not remove the use of images that I just uploaded an image for myself. I uploaded an image for Turnabout Intruder, Devil in Dark, This Side of Paradise, Enterprise incident, Savage Curtain, Tholian Web,  Cloud Minders, Ultimate Computer, Immunity Syndrome. These images were uploaded separately by me with slightly different names. You will not face any notice for their use. I said I would upload a few images and I have. Since you were first, you managed to upload the best trek screenshots that I cannot easily improve on...except in the case of the Enterprise Incident. (I have not uploaded any ST TNG images)

Before you remove a picture, please just check and see who uploaded it. That's all. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:30, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Why are doing doing this
I have read some of your exchanges with user:koafv, and I still do not understand your rationale for removing your own image upload, which just gives the robot a rationale for removing it as an orphan image.

An Admin reverted your edit here since this image was kept in the image DR. I have already uploaded another image that is now in use for this article but I have not reverted this edit.

Thanks, saw it, they reverted a couple so far because the pointless deletion "discussions" for each one is still on going and I broke the link back to the image when I orphaned them.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Talk:Automan
Please do not delete content from talk pages; this image has nothing wrong with it. The original intent of G7 is to permit immediate deletion of things that got created in error (e.g. you uploaded the wrong image) and things that are no longer useful/relevant/helpful/etc., such as File:Society of Biology.png, whose author requested deletion because it had been replaced by File:Society of Biology.svg. It's not meant for the deletion of images that have been in use for several years and that remain useful. Nyttend (talk) 02:15, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Greetings, Cyberia23. I'm an administrator here, and I understand that you would like us to delete all of the Star Trek screenshots you have uploaded. That's fine, I'll do this. I'm sorry this has been stressful for you, and I hope we can get this squared away. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 11:34, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Automan, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.

As I already told you, this image is not problematic, and it was in use at a talk page — talk pages may not be stripped of their images. G7 is the uploader-requested speedy deletion criterion, which I quote: ''If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content to the page and to the associated talk page was added by its author. (For redirects created as a result of a pagemove, the mover must also have been the only substantive contributor to the pages prior to the move.) If the sole author blanks a page other than a userspace page or category page, this can be taken as a deletion request.'' Your comments make it clear that you're not doing this in good faith, so the image is not eligible for speedy deletion; if you continue removing this image from the page where it's used, you will be blocked. Finally, please observe that the only way to decline an inapplicable speedy deletion tag is to remove it: there's no other way to remove it from CAT:CSD. Nyttend (talk) 17:43, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:David Dellinger

Untitled
Dave Dellinger visited us at the School for Designing a Society in Urbana in 1997. His stories of maintaining integrity in the face of violence moved me deeply. When the police were rioting at the WTO protests in Seattle, gassing and beating people like crazy (one one friend was pulled off the top of a bus stop by her hair as she hid to avoid beatings, my other friend who was a medic was pepper sprayed in the eyes as she tried to care for another demonstrator) I was pissing my pants and praying that I be inhabited by the same courage Dave Dellinger had. He kept his "eyes on the prize" his whole life - from World War II to the WTO protests in Quebec City.

I strongly suggest reading his autobiography, from Yale to Jail.

[Above statements entered anonymously.] Dogru144 (talk) 21:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

The Dave I knew
My parents were friends with Dave in the 60s through the Ethical Culture movement. Dave came to our home several times for dinner and to visit with my folks in the mid-60s, and when he started the Student Mobilization against the Vietnam war, he asked my parents if I'd be interested in volunteering. For 2 years (1966-68) starting with my junior year in high school, I went to 17 East 17th Street every day after school to be of help to Mr Dellinger. I did anything he asked that a high-schooler could do, from fetching corned beef sandwiches and Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray sodas, to stuffing envelopes and handing out literature, to taking the train way uptown to the printer to deliver materials. My parents came along on the first DC peace march, but after that, I was allowed to go on the train to DC marches only as long as Mr Dellinger could 'keep an eye' on me. I often sat in his office when Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin came to call. I have very vivid memories of those meetings. Dave disliked Hoffman's style, but put up with him because Dave believed Hoffman would bring in 'the youth' to the peace movement. Little did Dave know that Hoffman would bring in the violent side of anti-war protest, and Dave despised that. Dave was a 'peacenik', someone who deeply believed in non-violent protest, a la Gandhi. As a result I developed a serious dislike for Hoffman and Rubin, even though I had to interact with them frequently. I visited Hoffman when he lived at 30 St. Mark's Place with his then-wife Anita. Rennie Davis was often there, too. My reason for writing this is SOMEONE has to express that Dave Dellinger was a proponent of peaceful protest. The anger and violence that Abbie Hoffman leant to the anti-war movement was not anything David Dellinger would have approved of if he'd had the choice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.92.14.172 (talk) 03:09, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Yale grad?
The article text said that he left Yale one day. Did he leave it permanently? Or did her return after that momentary protest and complete his degree. If the former, then the categorization as a Yale alum should be arroved. Dogru144 (talk) 21:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * One need not be a graduate to be an alumnus. -- Orange Mike  |   Talk  20:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * By the dictionary, I think you're probably correct, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone use it except to mean a graduate. For sake of clarity perhaps it should be amended? I think that was the main question Dogru144 was bringing up- "what exactly is his status with respect to Yale? Did he complete or drop out?" Bigjimleo (talk) 06:50, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I am 99.5% certain that he graduated from Yale in 1936. He certainly was there as a senior in 1935/1936. His autobiography certainly gives all details, though I apologize as it is 1000 miles away from me right now. He did graduate from a college and win a fellowship to Oxford U. If he didn't graduate from Yale, I don't know what to say, as he really didn't have credits anywhere else. In sum, while one might want to verify it with Yale or with Dellinger's autobio From Yale to Jail, it is safe to say he is a Yale grad of 1936, with a degree in economics. Jack B108 (talk) 16:37, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

From "David Dellinger." Contemporary Heroes and Heroines. Vol. 4. Gale, 2000. Gale Biography In Context. Web. 18 Feb. 2011.:

David Dellinger was born in Wakefield, Massachusetts, on August 22, 1915. His father was a lawyer, a Yale law school graduate, and a Republican. In high school David was an outstanding athlete, long distance runner, and tournament-level golfer. He was also a superb student and already a confirmed pacifist. He graduated from Yale University as a Phi Beta Kappa economics major in 1936 and was awarded a scholarship for an additional year of study at Oxford University in England.

On his way to Europe he went to Spain, then in the middle of its civil war. Dellinger was so moved by the spirit of brotherhood among the Loyalist communist troops that he nearly joined them. Instead, he spent his year at Oxford, then returned to America for graduate work at Yale and religious training at the Union Theological Seminary.

I'll find some time to integrate this material later, or if someone else wants to do it, have at it. Gamaliel (talk) 16:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Most influential? Citation? NPOV?
I've added a citation flag for the first sentence which makes a claim relating to how influential he was. Personally, I have no opinion about it. Without citation, this calls NPOV into question. Although he may have done quite a bit, that is not the same as being influential as it does not show how he actually influenced others. Can someone come up with a citation other than the dust jacket quote? I can't put a whole lot of faith in dust jackets as source material personally. Their purpose is marketing.

Glenn Davis (athlete)

Glenn Ashby "Jeep" Davis (September 12, 1934 – January 28, 2009) was an American Olympic hurdler and sprinter who won a total of three gold medals in the 1956 and 1960 Olympic games.

Davis later played professional American football with the Detroit Lions and was a teacher and coach in his adopted hometown of Barberton, Ohio for 33 years.

Childhood and early life
Davis was born in Wellsburg, West Virginia. When both his parents died when he was 15, he moved to Barberton, Ohio with his brother. He attended Barberton High School, and Marietta High School.

Davis singlehandedly led his team to the 1954 Class A Ohio high school track and field championship, scoring all 20 of Barberton's points. Davis won the 220-yard dash, the broad jump and the 180-yard low hurdles – setting a then-state record in that event – while also placing fourth in the 100-yard dash. His point total placed him ahead of Mansfield, which scored 14 points in the meet and took second. He was offered more than 200 athletic scholarships for college, and chose to attend Ohio State University.

College and Olympics
Davis won Olympic titles in the 400 meter hurdles at both the Melbourne Olympics in 1956 and the Rome Olympics in 1960. In 1958, he was awarded the James E. Sullivan Award as the nation's top amateur athlete.

Davis was either at or close to world records in many events including: 100 yards/meters (9.6/10.3), 200 meters (21.0), the half mile (1:52), 120 yard high hurdles (14.0), 200 meter low hurdles on curve (22.5 WR), 400 meter intermediate hurdles (49.2 WR), high jump (6-8), and long jump (24'8").  He, Felix Sanchez, Angelo Taylor and Edwin Moses are the only four hurdlers to have won the Olympic 400 meter hurdles twice.  However Davis is the only man to have set world records in the quarter mile with hurdles and without.  His coach Larry Snyder, who also had coached Jesse Owens, said that Davis was possibly a greater talent than Jesse Owens.

Davis won a third gold medal as a member of the United States 4 x 400 meter relay team in 1960. He set world records in both flat and hurdle races. He is a member of the United States Olympic Hall of Fame.

Later careers
Davis was featured on the June 27, 1960 cover of Sports Illustrated. After his track career, Davis played wide receiver for the Detroit Lions in 1960 and 1961. He had 10 catches for 132 yards in his two NFL seasons. He was the track coach at Cornell University from 1963 to 1967, coaching the team to the Ivy League title in his final season.

Davis was a longtime resident of Barberton, Ohio, teaching and coaching there for 33 years, and was the owner of Jeep's Olympic Driving School. Prior to this, Davis was a popular teacher at Barberton High School and part owner of one of the students' favorite gathering spots, Jeep and Joe's Pizza. He also loved to play the harmonica.

He was sometimes confused with Heisman Trophy-winning football player Glenn Woodward Davis (1924–2005). The two sportsmen occasionally received each other's mail, but they never met.

Friedrich St. Florian

Friedrich St. Florian (born 1932) is an Austrian-American architect. He moved to the United States in 1961, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1973.

Early life and education
St. Florian was born Friedrich St. Florian Gartler in the Austrian city of Graz. He has been quoted a saying "When I was 10 or 11, I was a sandcastle-builder, a dam-builder. I wanted to build for the pleasure, the delight of it really was amazing."

St. Florian studied Architecture at the Graz University of Technology, where he graduated in 1960. He then won a Fulbright Fellowship which allowed him to move to the United and study at Columbia University where he earned an additional MS.

Academic career
After teaching at Columbia University for a year, St. Florian joined the Rhode Island School of Design faculty in 1963, where he helped launch the school's European Honors Program in Rome, which he directed from 1965 to 1967. From 1978 to 1988 he was dean of Architectural Studies and acted as Provost for Academic Affairs from 1981 to 1984.

He has also taught at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, London, England; the M.I.T, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA; McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; the University of Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas, USA and the University of Utah, USA.

Professional career
St. Florian has been a practicing architect in the United States since 1974. His work is included in numerous private collections as well as in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the M.I.T, the RISD Museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France. He also won the second prize for his design with Raimund Abraham and John Thornley for the last of these.

With Abraham he also won the first prize (ex aequo) in the international architectural design competition for the "Cultural Center" in Leopoldville, Congo in 1959 which was not built and the third prize in the 1958 competition for the Pan Arabian University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

He served as Project Architect for Providence Place, a 450 million-dollar regional retail and entertainment center located in historic downtown Providence, Rhode Island and the largest construction project ever undertaken in Rhode Island, and the Providence Skybridge, which frames the entrance to the city.

His most prestigious project is probably the design of the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., U.S., which he won against 400 entries in 1997.

St. Florian's office is currently headquartered in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. He continues to work on international design competitions and a wide array of projects. Recent built works include a modernist residence in Providence's East Side and Urban Markers in Charlotte, North Carolina. The project named "Three Pier Bridge" was designed under a new firm name "Studio Providence LLC", which is a collaboration between St.Florian's firm and 3SIX0 Architecture. The "Three Pier Bridge" tied for first place in an international competition while also winning prizes from the BSA and AIA.

He is inspired by Louis Kahn, Mies van der Rohe, le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. "Mies van der Rohe held the Chair of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago when I visited him. I felt like a pilgrim. His office was wide open, there were no doors. He was very curious to get news from Austria."

Polesworth Abbey

Polesworth Abbey was a Benedictine nunnery in Polesworth, North Warwickshire, England.

In 925, the sister of Ethelstan, and repudiated wife of Sihtric, king of Northumbria, came to live at the Abbey. In 1066, Sir Robert Marmion expelled the nuns from Polesworth, but after seeing a vision of St. Edith, he allowed them to return; in 1242, King Henry III granted the abbey a weekly market, as well as an annual fair for St Margaret.

Abbey
It was founded in the 9th century by St. Modwena and King Egbert. The first abbess was Edgytha (daughter of King Egbert, now St. Editha).

The site of the Abbey is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, although apart from the church and the gatehouse and the restored ruins of the cloister very little remains visible. The 12th-century Abbey church, now the parish church of St Editha, is a Grade II* listed building. The 14th-century gatehouse is both a Grade II* listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It has recently been restored and renovated to provide apartments available for rent.

Parish church
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, the Abbey was granted by Henry VIII to Francis Goodere of St Albans, Hertfordshire in 1544; Goodere dismantled many of the Abbey buildings to provide stone for a new manor house (Polesworth Hall) which he built on the site. Later Sir Henry Goodere was a patron of the arts and leader of the Polesworth Group of poets, which included his protégé Michael Drayton.

Polesworth Hall was demolished before 1868 and the Vicarage was built on the site. The abbey now functions as the Church of England parish church of Polesworth.

Organ
The church contains a three manual pipe organ by Taylor of Leicester. It was originally installed in 1912 in St Michael & All Angels' Church, Leicester. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

My grandmother's maiden name was Spickard. Her father's name was Thomas Eden Applegate and her mother Melissa May Spickard. I am writing a novel about a personal tragedy in her early life in Spickard and would appreciate communicating with anyone at this site to share pictures or description of Spickard at the turn of the century. My grandmother was born in 1899 but moved to California in 1920. Her mother, Melissa, after whom I named my own daughter, died when rather young, possibly by a lightning stirke (?), I'm not sure. Anyway, a Melissa in her namesake survives in Modesto, Ca. My name is Elise. I look forward to anyone's help. Thank you.

Hello Elise. I grew up in Spickard and lived there until 1993. My parents moved there after the end of WWII. My mother was a high school English teacher and writer.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Freundlich. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Freundlich~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Thomas C. Lynch

Thomas Conner Lynch (May 20, 1904 – May 29, 1986) was an American lawyer who served as District Attorney in San Francisco and as Attorney General of California from 1964 to 1971.

Early life
Lynch was born in San Francisco in 1904 to Mary O'Conner and Patrick Lynch, an Irish immigrant from County Kerry. Lynch's mother died in 1906, and his father was killed in 1913 attempting to rescue a fellow worker while working on a sewer excavation. Subsequently raised by extended family members, Lynch attended Catholic grammar schools in San Francisco before attending Bellarmine College Preparatory and Santa Clara University. Lynch went on to attend law school at the University of San Francisco School of Law.

Following law school, Lynch was admitted to the bar in 1930 and worked as an insurance underwriter before being appointed an Assistant U.S. Attorney in 1933. Lynch later became chief deputy to Pat Brown following Brown's election as San Francisco District Attorney in 1943. Lifelong friends, Lynch and Brown had first met through mutual friends on trips to Yosemite.

Lynch was introduced to his future wife Virginia Summers Lynch by Pat Brown in 1928 at a dance at Camp Curry in the Yosemite Valley. The two later eloped to Lovelock, Nevada.

District Attorney of San Francisco
In 1951, Lynch was appointed District Attorney of San Francisco by Mayor Elmer Robinson following Brown's election as Attorney General.

Attorney General of California
In 1964, Lynch was appointed Attorney General by Governor Pat Brown to succeed Stanley Mosk, who Brown had appointed to the Supreme Court of California. As Attorney General, Lynch helped draft legislation relating to law enforcement, including measures to control use of narcotics, to control promotion and sales of pornographic material and to control destructive devices and dangerous weapons. He also aided to improve the quality of law enforcement.

Running for a full term in 1966, Lynch was the only Democrat to retain statewide office amid Ronald Reagan's defeat of Pat Brown, defeating Spencer Mortimer Williams.

Notably, in 1968, Lynch released a report evaluating the actions of the city of Palm Springs in decimating the "Section 14" homes of approximating 200 families - almost entirely Black, Mexican-American and Native-American families leasing land from the Agua Caliente tribe, families including builders and support staff of wealthy white residents of the city – who had come home from work one day in 1965 to discover their homes bulldozed and burned down. Lynch's report noted that those families were living in Section 14 for two key reasons: "The average minority person could not afford to live in any other area of Palm Springs; and, de facto racial segregation was prevalent in Palm Springs as in other parts of California." Calling the city's action a "city-engineered holocaust", depriving Blacks and Latinos of generational wealth, the report concluded that, "The city of Palm Springs not only disregarded the residents of Section 14 as property owners, taxpayers and voters; Palm Springs ignored that the residents of Section 14 were human beings."

1968 Democratic Party presidential primaries
Initially tapped to lead pro-Lyndon Johnson delegation prior to Johnson's decision not to seek reelection, Lynch ran as a favorite son candidate in the 1968 California Democratic presidential primary, placing third behind Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy.

Later life
Lynch died in San Francisco on May 29, 1986, following a six year battle with cancer. At the time of his death, Lynch was an attorney with the San Francisco law firm Gerald Marcus.
