New Swabia

New Swabia (Norwegian and Neuschwabenland) was a disputed Antarctic claim by Nazi Germany within the Norwegian territorial claim of Queen Maud Land and is now a cartographic name sometimes given to an area of Antarctica between 20°E and 10°W in Queen Maud Land. New Swabia was explored by Germany in early 1939 and named after that expedition's ship, MS Schwabenland (1925), itself named after the German region of Swabia.

Background
Like many other countries, Germany sent expeditions to the Antarctic region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most of which were scientific. The late 19th century expeditions to the Southern Ocean, South Georgia, the Kerguelen Islands, and the Crozet Islands were astronomical, meteorological, and hydrological, mostly in close collaboration with scientific teams from other countries. As the 19th century ended, Germany began to focus on Antarctica.

The first German expedition to Antarctica was the Gauss expedition from 1901 to 1903. Led by Arctic veteran and geology professor Erich von Drygalski, this was the first expedition to use a hot-air balloon in Antarctica. It also found and named Kaiser Wilhelm II Land. The second German Antarctic expedition (1911–1912) was led by Wilhelm Filchner with a goal of crossing Antarctica to learn if it was one piece of land. As happened with other such early attempts, the crossing failed before it even began. The expedition discovered and named the Luitpold Coast and the Filchner Ice Shelf. A German whaling fleet was put to sea in 1937 and, upon its successful return in early 1938, plans for a third German Antarctic expedition were drawn up.

German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939)
The third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939) was led by Alfred Ritscher (1879–1963), a captain in the German Navy. The main purpose was to find an area in Antarctica for a German whaling station, as a way to increase Germany's production of fat. Whale oil was then the most important raw material for the production of margarine and soap in Germany and the country was the second largest purchaser of Norwegian whale oil, importing some 200,000 metric tonnes annually. Besides the disadvantage of being dependent on imports, it was thought that Germany would soon be at war, which was considered to put too much strain on Germany's foreign currency reserves. Another goal was to scout possible locations for a German naval base. On 17 December 1938, the New Swabia Expedition left Hamburg for Antarctica aboard MS Schwabenland (a freighter built in 1925 and renamed in 1934 after the Swabia region in southern Germany) which could also carry and catapult aircraft. The secret expedition had 33 members plus Schwabenland's crew of 24. On 19 January 1939, the ship arrived at the Princess Martha Coast, in an area which had lately been claimed by Norway as Queen Maud Land, and began charting the region. Nazi German flags were placed on the sea ice along the coast. Naming the area Neu-Schwabenland after the ship, the expedition established a temporary base and in the following weeks teams walked along the coast recording claim reservations on hills and other significant landmarks. Seven photographic survey flights were made by the ship's two Dornier Wal seaplanes named Passat and Boreas. About a dozen 1.2 m-long aluminum arrows, with 30 cm steel cones and three upper stabilizer wings embossed with swastikas, were airdropped onto the ice at turning points of the flight polygons (these arrows had been tested on the Pasterze glacier in Austria before the expedition). None of these have ever been recovered. Eight more flights were made to areas of keen interest and on these trips, some of the photos were taken with colour film. Altogether they flew over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and took more than 16,000 aerial photographs, some of which were published after the war by Ritscher. The ice-free Schirmacher Oasis, which now hosts the Maitri and Novolazarevskaya research stations, was spotted from the air by Richard Heinrich Schirmacher (who named it after himself) shortly before the Schwabenland left the Antarctic coast on 6 February 1939. On its return trip to Germany, the expedition made oceanographic studies near Bouvet Island and Fernando de Noronha, arriving back in Hamburg on 11 April 1939. Meanwhile, the Norwegian government had learned about the expedition through reports from whalers along the coast of Queen Maud Land. Although some, notably Norwegian writer Bjarne Aagaard and German geographer Ernst Herrmann, have claimed that Germany never actually occupied the territory, it is well documented that Germany issued a decree about the establishment of a German Antarctic Sector called New Swabia after the expedition's return in August 1939.

Shortly after the expedition's return, World War II broke out in Europe, with Germany occupying Norway in April of 1940. This occupation technically extended to the Norwegian Antarctic Dependencies, nearby to New Swabia. Additionally, the fall of France to Germany later that year also technically brought the French Antarctic territory of Adélie Land under German influence. However, no attempt at controlling or incorporating these territories were made, and any German territory in Antarctica was relinquished following the defeat of Germany in May 1945.

Germany never advanced any territorial claims to the region, which were abandoned in 1945.

Geographic features mapped by the expedition
Because the area was first explored by a German expedition, the name Neuschwabenland (New Swabia) is still used for the region on some maps, as are many of the German names given to its geographic features. Some geographic features mapped by the expedition were not named until the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–1952), led by John Schjelderup Giæver. Others were not named until they were remapped from aerial photographs taken by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1958–1959).

Aftermath
Germany made no formal territorial claims to New Swabia. No whaling station or other lasting bases were built there by Germany until the Georg von Neumayer Station, a research facility, was established in 1981. Germany's current Neumayer Station III is also in the region. New Swabia is a cartographic area of Queen Maud Land which within Norway is administered as a Norwegian dependent territory under the Antarctic Treaty System by the Polar Affairs Department of the Ministry of Justice and the Police.

Conspiracy theories
Neuschwabenland has been the subject of conspiracy theories for decades, some of them related to Nazi UFO claims. Most assert that, in the wake of the German expedition of 1938–39, a huge military base was built there. After the war, high-ranking Nazis, scientists, and elite military units are claimed to have survived there. The US and UK have supposedly been trying to conquer the area for decades, and to have used nuclear weapons in this effort. Proponents claim the base is sustained by hot springs providing energy and warmth.

The WDR radio play "Neuschwabenland-Symphonie" from 2012 takes up the conspiracy theories.

Hey Chad, to answer your question "Is there an article related to the subject of board members being part of multiple boards?", there appear to be 2: Interlocking directorate and Corporate interlocks. The 1st is brief; the 2nd seems to deal with the issue from a sociological standpoint rather than corporate governance. I'm going to expand the first one and welcome your advice & guidance. --Lockley 21:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Oregon and Washington elections
Hi Chad,

I looked at your work, and I'm very impressed. Thanks very much for saying hello. I expect there's lots we can learn from each other's efforts. I like the way you categorized things, and I think I'll probably restructure what I've done into categories like yours.

I'd be interested in discussing in more detail. If you want to contact me: peteforsyth is the address and the domain is mac. (Sorry, I'm paranoid of spidering spambots!)

Oregon election
Hi Chad,

Thanks for the note. Yes, I had originally made the legislature table a separate table. A novice Wikipedia editor pointed out to me how difficult that made it to make modifications...and I realized it really served no purpose to keep it separate, so I copied it into the main page.

Unfortunately, when I attempted to delete the now-irrelevant table page, a "bot" would not allow me to.

If you know a way to get it deleted, delete away!

Thanks, -Pete

Bruce Guthrie
Hi,

I was the person who removed the biographical paragraph from the Bruce Guthrie article. The reason I removed it is that it is a direct copy of text from a page which asserts copyright. This page asserts a copyright, so I don't think that this text can stand as it is. Am I misunderstanding the copyright policy? ScottW 20:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I agree that the information should exist in some form. There's actually a little more information I'm planning on putting in once the AfD issue is resolved (assuming it's kept). I may also try to reorganize the information as well. I saw your changes to the paragraph, and I think that it should be ok (although I'm not sure that technically it is different enough). I've also made a change to the first sentence. See what you think, if you get time. ScottW 23:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Korean Language Institute
The problem is that the whole Wikipedia article is a copy of a source that is not giving information for free. If there is not enough information about the topic, it is better to have no article than to have a copy from a copyrighted text. Note that the article is giving two external links but no reference. When copying something from another site, use a quote or italics, and add the link just after the quotation, so that it can be seen as reference. -- ReyBrujo 17:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. Rewriting the article is a good step. As for "automatically declaring that anything copied and not formatted properly is grounds for deletion and possible blocking of the user", don't worry. Unless the user keeps adding dubious copyright statements, he will not be blocked. At worst, if the article is deleted it can be recreated. The article was tagged by a bot which does a search for every new article and reports if the text has been found somewhere. We are not trying to discourage people from creating articles, but instead to educate them. You can create a temporal page from that Institute page. If the article is deleted due copyright problems, the copy is put in its place. -- ReyBrujo 19:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. Nobody has written anything there, yet. From National Institute of Korean Language, you will see a If you plan to write a new article, please follow this link to a temporary subpage. Click on the red link, and you will be directed to a temporary page. Write the article there, and once an administrator deletes the main page, he will move the temporary page where the other was. -- ReyBrujo 15:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The point is that it is text that has been copied without permission. Copyrights are important and need to be respected.  One cannot just copy text from another source and insert it into wikipedia without confirming that the text is either public domain or released under the GFDL.  There are links in the above message that can help you understand these issues. Regards. -- Whpq 16:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

A tag has been placed on KKSM, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. PMDrive1061 19:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * So we're not even allowed to leave a stub now? I'm trying to encourage people to help fill in the blanks because I don't have time to do everything.  But, if that's the rules, I'll just go somewhere else to try and build information infrastructure.  Wikipedia is less and less meaningful and useful as a tool because of rules that are approaching imperialism.  That's coming from a friend of Jimbo.  Chadlupkes 21:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * With all due respect, I don't have time either. Too big a project.  The imperialistic attitude is why I left this project before.  However, there are minimum rules for inclusion and one of those rules is size.  You can leave a stub, but it should be more than a single sentence and a taxobox.  I make original contributions as well, but I try to fulfill the minimum requirements for size when I do.  There is no reason for you not to recreate the article.  Just add some more info when you do.  If you had hung the construction template on it the first time, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion.  Technically, it's still a speedy but I'll leave it up to you to flesh it out.  Regarding Jimbo:  I have the utmost respect for him, but he lets this site pretty much run itself.  He probably logs on less than anyone else here.  Relax and remember WP:BITE.  PMDrive1061 22:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Chad, I've taken some time to flesh this out a bit based on the station's history page. I'll go back and add the taxobox later.  I work in broadcasting (hence the username) and I've written a few station articles under my previous username.  I hope I've helped. --PMDrive1061 03:39, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That looks great, and it should prevent the article from being deleted again.  I appreciate the help.  Chadlupkes 03:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Category:Massachusetts elections templates
What's the purpose of Category:Massachusetts elections templates? How many templates are their going to be?—Markles 22:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

 * There are quite a few elections templates scattered around. I'm going through all 50 states to put them in categories under each 'State elections' category.  Do you have a different idea on how to organize them?  Chadlupkes (talk) 23:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Example: Category:Washington election templates

 * I'm not sure, frankly. Maybe put all the 50 states elections templates into one meta-category, such as, "Category:United States state elections templates."  But right now you've got a category (perhaps 50 categories), containing only one article/template.  See Overcategorization.—Markles 23:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Good point. I'm not finding a lot of templates that need to go into categories yet.  Right now I'm trying to clean up the state elections categories by separating them out by year for each state.  Probably overboard, but I've been seeing more and more articles popping up as more people actually start to pay attention and want to look up or contribute.  So I'm trying to put things into a organized pattern.  What's the general rule on how many, or how few, articles should be in a category to make it worth keeping?  Chadlupkes (talk) 23:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

 * For the best discussion of how many/few articles should be in a category to make it worth keeping, see Overcategorization.  I see that there are now an article and a subcategory, Massachusetts presidential primary navigational boxes.  That sub-cat is so overboard because it's templates are just unnecessary.  But that's a different discussion for a different time.  —Markles 23:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Indeed. Also, I'm not creating the templates yet, just trying to categorize what I can find already created.  Chadlupkes (talk) 23:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Jones International
A tag has been placed on Jones International requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 21:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

The election is still two years away, and we haven't even had this year's yet. You're not going to have any references for the article, most likely until those papers are filed, yes. Until that time, everything is going to be pure speculation, which is not what Wikipedia is for. You need reliable sources to verify anything you add, which is what you were told in the last AfD. Guessing what is going to happen is a violation of WP:CRYSTAL, and would be entirely original research. I'd suggest you look over those policies, as they're probably going to answer your questions for you. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 15:34, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:LAYOUT and closing sections
According to Layout, the standard order of appendix sections is:

 * Works
 * See also
 * Notes, Footnotes, References (interchangable)
 * Further reading
 * External links

Recently you moved a number of "See also" sections to the end of their articles. I have already fixed Virginia gubernatorial election, 2009 and New York City mayoral election, 2009. You may want to take a look back at the other articles you edited. Thanks. Rklear (talk) 16:17, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Only a few hundred pages I've done like that... Thanks for letting me know.  I've always considered navigational boxes to be part of "see also", but it looks like they can just go under External Links on their own instead of within a sectional header.  I'll keep that standard from now on.  Chadlupkes (talk) 18:06, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Spam in Triton Media Group
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Triton Media Group, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Triton Media Group is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Triton Media Group, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 03:36, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of M. Bernard Aidinoff
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article M. Bernard Aidinoff, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process  because of the following concern:
 * No verifiable notability.

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  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.

Proposed deletion of Joshua I. Smith

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  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.

United States Senate election in Hawaii, 2010
Hi. Just ran into United States Senate election in Hawaii, 2010 and I'm curious about it. Can you point me towards any policies and guidelines related to future elections in the United States? How are future articles typically assessed? I see 157 articles in Category:Future elections in the United States but don't see many assessments. I'm also not seeing a consistent format or layout. Any information would help. Viriditas (talk) 03:16, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Chadlupkes! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 24 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

 * 1) James R. Houghton -
 * 2) Lois Juliber -
 * 3) Louisa Duemling -

Speedy deletion nomination of Pedro Reinhard

A tag has been placed on Pedro Reinhard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Alexf(talk) 16:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center

A tag has been placed on National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.sandia.gov/nisac/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Stubs
Hi. Thank-you very much for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you were typing out the entire text of the stub boilerplate. For the future, it's better just to use. This not only ensures that you have the most recent version, but it also saves you a bunch of time! Thanks. -[[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee|✍]] 17:30, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Minpins
How did I do it? Closed my eyes, clicked my heels three times, and said "There's no place like..." oh, wait, that's something else. OK, long-winded answer...

There is a Wikiproject concerning making an attempt to have all of the articles about all of the breeds be consistent. The project's page lists other people who have been involved off & on in the dog effort and shows what ought to be in the articles at a minimum and provides a nifty table template that you can just copy and paste. To do that, click Edit This Page, scroll down to the template, and copy everything including the beginning comment that says "this is the table...." to the ending comment that says "...end of template" and paste it into the top of your breed page. Then you just go through and edit it. There's a spot in the default table for an image, so you can go there to see how to include it in your minpin table.

The most time-consuming part is getting the links to the breed standards. If you do a Show Preview after pasting the table, the links in the Standards section of the table each go to a page for the club that provides access to all the breeds--go there, get the URL for your breed, and paste it in place of the URL for all the breeds. It sounds messy, but it's not really all that bad once you've done it a couple of times. (And I already did it for minpin, so you're free.)

You can find more about table markup (which we're using instead of HTML markup) at m:Help:Table (hmmm, I thought there was a tutorial on it but I don't see it at the moment).

As for uploading images, click the Upload File link--I believe it should appear in your left-side menu on any page--which takes you to a page that tells you what you need to do. Especially keep in mind:
 * Name the image file something useful, so "MiniaturePinscher_roodog.jpg" rather than "Fluffyfoo.jpg". And be sure to specify who took the photo and whether it's licensed under GFDL or you're releasing into the public domain or whatever--you can indicate by including  or  on the image page when it tells you it's successfully uploaded-and-go-here-to-add-information.

Hope this helps and isn't too scary. Elf | Talk 01:11, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Encyclopedia
Roodog2k, I appreciate your time trying to educate me about Wikipedia. I am glad that you found my content humorous, however while you found it humorous, it was actually entered as legitimate content for Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is a written compendium of knowledge. A compendium is a comprehensive compilation of a body of knowledge.

By deleting my content you are removing knowledge from the compendium instead of expanding it. Rather than deleting the content perhaps you could instead rework it so that it better fits what you believe is good for the article. By deleting it then telling me to redo it how you would like it, is a bit insulting. Users are supposed to improve upon the content added by others, not just delete what they don't like. Thanks for your time and understanding. Wwwacky 03:32, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

BTW, Pvt. Benjamin Buford 'Bubba' Blue knew every way to prepare shrimp.

 * For the record, the content you added, which is not of your own creation and further uncited, could constitute a copyright violation. Furthermore, you should not be insulted, as I approached the subject respectfully.Roodog2k 17:21, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Copyright
I am astounded that you are now accusing me of a copyright violation. Prior to being so bold, perhaps you could investigate what a copyright violation actually is, rather than stating that uncited work could be a violation. I have reviewed the entire article, and not one part of it is cited. Let's review your statements.

"I found your post funny, but it may work better, as a quote from Forrest Gump within the article" - You thought it was funny; so must it be deleted because you don't like funny content on Wikipedia (It is not a joke; it is a list of food). You thought food preparation should be attributed to Forrest Gump. Instead of doing that yourself (which would have been inappropriate to do because there is no way to cite it) you directed me to do it.

"content you added, which is not of your own creation and further uncited, could constitute a copyright violation" - I added it, and no I did not invent shrimp cocktail or coconut shrimp, however I do not believe their inventors are the only ones that can include them on Wikipedia (a free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit). I have eaten them in several restaurants and even my home. The names of food preparation are not protected by copyright.

"you should not be insulted, as I approached the subject respectfully" - You told me how you wanted me to edit an article, then when I point out that you can take responsibility to improve Wikipedia rather than deleting content, you decide since there is no cite, it could be a copyright violation. How is that respectful and not insulting? Please think about this more carefully before your next episode of haphazard deleting then 'educating' of Wikipedians. Wwwacky 05:12, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I defer to the WP Admin on this one. Roodog2k 23:32, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

High (atmospheric)
Just wondering about your rationale for gutting this article. While I have no difficulty with someone coming in and editing, I would anticipate that the article would be better off afterward. It seems you threw away a lot of pertinent information (the fact, for instance, that a high pressure area is an area of subsidence). Denni ☯ 22:49, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your quick response. Just a couple of comments. It's not a bad idea to put a few comments on the article's talk page - had I found there what you provided me with, I'd not have asked any questions. You also noted the changes to this article as minor, where in fact they were quite major. A minor change would be correcting a misspelled word or supplying a missing capital letter. I know you're new to Wikipedia, and I'd like you to feel you're getting off on the right foot. Welcome. Denni ☯ 00:44, 2004 Dec 31 (UTC)

Minpins
Nope, not picking on you--do you want me to? ;-)

I'm just the Crazed Editor who crawls out of her box periodically and cleans things up towards the models we've been using in all the dog breed articles. They try to lock me in, but I still get out--

OK, I didn't check the appearance in every browser at every revolution (OK, I usually don't check at all, just use standard markup), but I figure that if it doesn't display perfectly, it's a flaw in the browsers not in the input--and a single line before a heading is std in wikipedia. Also, in the dog articles (and indeed in most articles in wikipedia), in most cases the thumbnails are allowed to fall to the default size rather than stating explicitly, because I believe users can define the personal desired default size (or if they can't now, there were plans to implement it)--I always just use the defaults so I can see what most users see when they come to the site. We do put the 250px size on the ones inside the breed infoboxes but that's usually it.

And anyway even with the smaller size of the puppy photo, the actual image of the dog is still larger than the dog in the main photo! :-) You wouldn't happen to be in a mood to crop down the main photo original so that we can have a bigger picture of the adult (Pav?) in the main box, would you?  Elf | Talk 06:30, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Cropping wouldn't be a bad idea. I am a little concerned, b/c the quality of the image isn't that great, but I think it'll be OK for now. Roodog2k 23:49, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Recent High and Low changes
I had a bit of difficulty understanding your recent changes to the articles above, not because they are incorrect, but because I cannot understand what you are talking about. :)

Please try to adjust your changes into more layman terms, or put a template there so someone else will. Wikipedia is for the general public, so using technical terms defeats the purpose of the article being informative, especially if the person reading it has no background on the subject.

But on the positive side, sounds like you know what you are talking about. :) --tomf688 (talk) 21:03, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the copyright. I was going to edit this into my own words later today. Also I just discovered that there is already a article about this subject, although i can't find it using search before. So feel free to delete this article. KeithV 17:15, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for stubbing my article, I forgot. And yes, gallery is wiki. I'm not really happy with the layout of the images, but there isn't enough text for them to just go down the side I think. --Chammy Koala 09:40, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * No problem! Thanks for the info about gallery. Roodog2k 13:27, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Catholic
Yes, sorry - the proper name of a document should not have been changed - that was over-zealous on my part. I'll revert if you have not done so already.

The term 'Catholic' is problematic. To declare my bias I'm presbyterian. But I also consider myself (as do most Protestant theologicans) to be Catholic/catholic. Part of the Holy Catholic and Universal Church (as per the apostles' creed). Indeed my denomination make the claim explicit. The Roman Catholic Church, sometimes wishes to reserve the title 'Catholic' to itself and denominations related to it (which share the same interpretation of apostolic succession). That claim is rejected by most protestants - who would state that all true Trinitarian Christian denominations are part of the one Catholic Church.

Thus, in an NPOV encyclopedia, it would be incorrect to label the Roman Catholic Church and its immediately related denominations as 'the' Catholic Church - or as the sum total of Catholicism, since that is a contested point of view.

(Please don't interprete this as being 'anti-Roman Catholic' - it is rather pro-ecumenical)--Doc Glasgow 18:43, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Roodog2k 19:29, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Naw, its cool. The terminology is often misleading and unclear.  My point was not to make a distinction from Protestants, rather to be more inclusive regarding the Eastern Rite Churches in full communion with Rome. See this link for what I mean...

 * I see - probably using something like 'churches in communion with Rome' or 'churches recognising the primacy of the Holy See' would be uncontentious. Cheers --Doc Glasgow 19:39, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Daniel Kaszor VFD

 * Please read the Guide to the Votes for Deletion. Merge and delete is not a compatible vote. The GFDL requires the edit history to be retained if something is merged and deleting it, would kill the edit history. Merging histories is also no good, because it would mess up the diffs between subsequent edits in the time period both articles were edited. - Mgm|(talk) 21:28, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Glad you like changes. Obvious topic, really. Do you think you could make an "unequivocal" keep vote noting you re-checked it? I have a feeling the deletes before changes might still take the day. Marskell 19:22, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Dachshund
It's been years since I worked on that article, back when Wikipedia was a wilder and woolier place. I wish I'd noted my sources at the time. Unfortunately it's hard to find primary sources, so my information came from a couple of modern books and online sources. In particular, Stephen Michelson has a widely distributed FAQ in which he mentions stonings, etc. and provides a general bibliography. Unfortunately I don't have access to the books he references, so I can't tell where they get their information. Hence, it's possible that the information is apocryphal. I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave it to you to figure it out, but I will check back if I find anything more specific. Here's one version of the FAQ, btw:

Scarface references in south park
You were the only one who made a vote other than delete. Here is the text if you want to try and merge it. (To be honest it looked an OK articlet to me.) -- RHaworth 08:00:55, 2005-08-28 (UTC)

There are two that I know of others please help out:

1. The song "Scarface (Push it to the Limit)" is playing in the montage sceens of Cartman and Jimmy preparing for the Special Olympics in the Up the Down Steroid episode. In the movie this song was playing in the montage scenee in the middel of the movie where Tony Montana was buying a house, getting married, and cetera.

2. Eric Cartman's skit in the talent show in the Episode "Talent Showes are for Fags" is a soliloquy from Scarface, at the end of the movie when Tony Montana was leaving the fancy restaurant. However the outfit Cartman wear for the talent show recital was one of Tony Montantas leisure suits and while Tony Montanae himself in the movie was wearing a tuxedo at the time.

3. I AM SURE THERE ARE MORE PLEASE HELP!

That's fine. Turning a redirect into a stub only requires some boldness anyway. Whether I had speedy-closed the debates or not, the same could have been done. I'm glad you know your callsigns! -Splash 14:26, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Cool, Didnt want you to be insulted. Roodog2k 14:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be insulted by boldness. Anyway, yeah, that sounds ok. By the way, you might want to make lowercase redirects too, since then the search engine will pick them up whatever capitalisation someone searches with.

Userfication?
I was wondering why you decided to userfy Tanja Louise Stephen? There was no particular evidence that it was meant for userspace, really. It's not really necessary to userfy articles that new accounts make unless it is plainly obvious they are talk about themselves (which this article isn't) or they request it, or it is very obviously userpage material (which this isn't). I know it's not biting newbies and stuff, but sometimes their articles just need deleting, not retaining. thanks. -Splash talk 01:00, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Minpin rescue link
About removing the minpin rescue link--just because something has existed for a long time on wikipedia doesn't inherently make it permanent. I've found vandalism that's been in place for many months and not changed, for example, but I don't have to leave it there bcause it was missed earlier. :-) (I'm not, of course, suggesting that the rescue link is vandalism). Rescue links are removed from breed articles usually when someone's paying attention. Because WP isn't a collection of links, it's encyclopedic, external links should enhance the description of "what is a minpin" but not "where do I get one", or we'd need to add "where do I get one" kinds of links to everything.  And although I'm all for rescue (most of my dogs have been rescues), I think that a collection of lists of recues & breeders & other sources for all breeds of dogs is contrary to what WP's about.  Elf | Talk 20:05, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

 * What I'm saying is that external links should be "what is a minpin", not "where do I get one". Elf | Talk 20:24, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Vandalism--sorry, I wasn't clear about that. There wasn't vandalism on minpin page for long periods. What I meant was that I've sometimes found junk on wikpedia that's been there for a very long time, so the mere fact tht something has been on wikipedia for a long time is not an inherent argument that it therefore has a right to be there. (I work at home and my boss (me) frowns on me spending time on this stuff, too, but here I am again...)  Elf | Talk 20:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Gulfside United Methodist Assembly
Hey, don't take this as a personal attack, because it isn't. Its only a friendly suggestion. The guy who was writing the article is a newbie making his first contribution to wikipedia. Seventy minutes into writing the article, its nominated for deletion. Next time, maybe there would be a better way to handle the situation? I'm not saying you were right or wrong, just saying... Roodog2k 00:06, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The only personal attack in this is the poster who went so far as to accuse me of racism. Hey I made a judgment call based on the information I had.  Everyone thinks their organization, their film, their company, their school, whatever is special.  And I have no doubt that they really believe they are special.  Most of the time, they aren't.  Most of the time, my judgment call is correct.  If in this case I was hasty, well it isn't the first time and it won't be the last.  In the past, I've probably prodded something I shouldn't and wavered on something that I should have speedied.  People have different opinions on what should be included.  When I roll through the new articles the sheer quantity of crap is mindboggling.  As I said, I made a judgment call and this time it was wrong.  But I am right more often tham I am wrong.  And that's where I'll leave it.

Essex County demographics / current problems
I have been unhappy with the Essex County, New Jersey demographics and current problems sections from the moment I laid eyes on the article.

PsyD
You might be able to clarify the American useage from your wife's knowledge. Does her PhD include the clinical training, or is that something conducted alongside the PhD? From my knowledge of other countries, the PhD is a garden variety PhD, mostly not on a clinical topic, and has no clinical component. The clinical aspect of the training runs in parallel (usually 1-2 years full-time clinical, clinical half-time/PhD half-time, then 1-2 years completing the PhD research; with the PhD and clinical components examined separately, and awarded as distinct qualifications; however you can't do *only* the clinical qualification without a higher research degree). --Limegreen 21:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Belated thanks for your response, and the clarification re: clinical hours. Here a PhD is a PhD is a PhD.

 * I think everybody is making good points. I think the crux of the issue is the term 'ethereal beings'.  It's not a neologism, but it also doesn't seem to be a univeral term.  I found 60 year-old sources on Google Scholar that use the term.  I threw out WP:NUKEANDPAVE as a discussion point.

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics. Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=1R1zIzg92FHco4d_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_7P9QzBlBBwt2D65&Q_CHL=gl I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations. Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 16:58, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
