 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP. Postdlf 23:54, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Claremont School of Theology
I initially tagged this as a speedy (ad spam), which the poster objected to. So I'm posting it here instead. Non-notable. Firebug 06:45, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, promo. Megan1967 08:47, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * List of degree programs with a link isn't an article. Contains next to no info about the school. Delete. Mgm|(talk) 10:09, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Although the brevity of the article wouldn't make it big deal if were to be deleted, I will still vote keep here: This isn't exactly the University of Tübingen or Harvard Divinity School, but it appears to be a real degree-granting institution, with faculty members who have been published in scholarly journals. I think there is an established consensus here that real institutions of higher education are inherently notable. Even community colleges count, and this is something above that level. - Uppland 10:23, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * PS. You should probably have given it more than two minutes to develop before stamping it with a speedy delete tag. - Uppland 10:28, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I would think this a perfect example of linkspam, thus delete. Radiant_* 14:14, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. They're affilliated with the Claremont Colleges, they're an accredited school, and they educate half the non-reactionary clergypeople in Southern California. Submitting an advert as an article is lame, but not proof of non-notability. ---Isaac R 01:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This nomination was made by yet another account created in the past two weeks that immediately gravitated towards VfD (in this case, within 3 days of account creation). This marks the third incident of this type this week. *sigh*  —RaD Man (talk) 01:18, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Excuse me? I've been doing plenty of non-VFD-related edits, and I have voted Keep or Merge on numerous articles that have been put up for VFD. I'm not sure what you're stating or implying here. I put a lot of articles up for VFD because I have been doing RC patrol, and it is very common to see articles that are either nonsense or content-free (and thus candidates for speedy deletion), or articles that are unencyclopedic and have thus been posted here for consideration. If the consensus is to keep this article, I'll go along with this. But I will not be bullied. Don't make veiled threats again. Firebug 03:39, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not supposed to be a threat, just an expression of (hopefully) paranoia. It's related to the fact that we're not doing very well at establishing a consensus on schools. Please continue nominating and voting as you see fit. Kappa 05:26, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * If you view my observations as threats you have problems.  Seek help.  —RaD Man (talk) 01:31, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's keep this civil please. Gamaliel 01:37, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep My understanding is that a concensus had been reached that all tertiery eduction was notable by nature. VfD is articles that are not verifiable, informative, or encyclopedic by nature. Klonimus 03:41, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * To be fair to Firebug the article as it stood when he nominated it was not encylopaedic it was an advert. Thryduulf 08:16, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * True, but I think we're a little too quick to VfD advertising web pages. We tend to assume that they're a kind of spam. Which they often are. But they're also often articles about notable topics that are simply written too subjectively. Very often people VfD them when they should clean them up or make them into stubs. Or maybe just add an "explain significance" notice. ---Isaac R 00:28, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a very well-established school with some ties to the Claremont Colleges (though it is not a full member of the Claremont group). An entirely legitimate institution, worthy of an expanded article.  BTfromLA 02:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * um, I'm sorry, but your point is...? I spent most of my "fledgling" time revising other articles etc. and have only moved onto Vfd now that my "pet topics" are pretty much complete and I'm a little more acquainted with the workings here. Is there some problem with me being new to Vfding? That I am misvoting? That I am voting too much and/or too often? That I shouldn't dare suggest a Schoolwatch article be deleted? ....orrrr what? Since you chose the word "incident", your comment sounds fairly negative in tone. Please explain, as I am curious as to what exactly you meant (or didn't mean) by this comment. Thank you. Master Thief Garrett 07:51, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Welcome to Wikipedia, n00b. *hug*  —RaD Man (talk) 07:57, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * okayyyy... despite the negative connotations others have meant on forums when referring to me as a n00b, and normally I'd be quite offended, I know Wikipedia isn't like that at all, and I'm hoping you're not implying something similar... and you still didn't answer my question, not that it matters... Master Thief Garrett 08:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: there are many university and college articles out there that look much worse than this one currently does (just look though some of the categories), and there are probably thousands of institutions less notable than this one too, but they have so far been left alone because of the consensus that institutions of higher education are inherently notable enough to have an article. If some people want to change that policy (or at least de facto policy), I think the right place to do that would be on a policy talk page, not here. Uppland 01:49, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Wirehog

Wirehog was a friend-to-friend file sharing program that was linked to Facebook and allowed people to transfer files directly between computers.

History
Wirehog was created by Andrew McCollum, Mark Zuckerberg, Adam D'Angelo, and Sean Parker during their development of the Facebook social networking website in Palo Alto in the summer and fall of 2004. The only way to join Wirehog was through an invitation from a member and although it was originally planned as an integrated feature of Facebook, it could also be used by friends who were not registered on Facebook. Wirehog was launched in October 2004, and taken down in January 2006. Its target audience at the time was the same as the campus-only file-sharing service i2hub that had launched earlier that year. i2hub was gaining a lot of traction and growing rapidly. In an interview with The Harvard Crimson, Zuckerberg said, "I think Wirehog will probably spread in the same way that thefacebook did."

The software was described by its creators as "an HTTP file transfer system using dynamic DNS and NAT traversal to make your personal computer addressable, routable and easily accessible". The client allowed users to both access data stored on their home computer from a remote location and let friends exchange files between each other's computers. In ways, Wirehog was a project comparable to Alex Pankratov's Hamachi VPN, the open-source OneSwarm private network, or the darknet RetroShare software.

Until at least July 2005, Facebook officially endorsed the p2p client, saying on their website: "'Wirehog is a social application that lets friends exchange files of any type with each other over the web. Facebook and Wirehog are integrated so that Wirehog knows who your friends are in order to make sure that only people in your network can see your files. Facebook certifies that it is okay to enter your facebook email address and password into Wirehog for the purposes of this integration.'"

The Wirehog software was written in Python and was available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X only. A Linux version had been promised on the service's website. The service ran a custom-written HTTP server, and file downloading and photo viewing was through the web browser, with requested authentication by Wirehog's central servers to allow users to set up custom privacy settings.

Coconut Island (Oahu Island)

Coconut Island, or Moku o Loe, is a 28-acre (113,000 m²) island in Kāneʻohe Bay off the island of Oʻahu in the state of Hawaiʻi, United States. It is a marine research facility of the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) of the University of Hawaiʻi.

History
In 1934–1936, Chris Holmes II, an heir to the Fleischmann yeast fortune, doubled the original 12 acre island with coral rubble, sand, and earthen landfill. He established a residence with aquaria, kennels, and aviaries for his many pets. The island was converted to a rest and relaxation station for United States Navy flyers during World War II.

In 1946 a group of five Los Angeles businessmen, including Edwin W. Pauley, bought the island from the estate of Chris Holmes II with the idea of converting it to the exclusive Coconut Island Club International, 1946-7, and hired architects Paul Williams, A. Quincy Jones, and C.W. Lemmon of Belt Lemmon and Lo, Architects of Honolulu to design a community of cottages, tennis courts, a yacht club and other recreational facilities including remodeling the Holmes mansion and barracks. The Pauley group wanted to develop the island into a private, membership only resort. In 1949 this idea was dropped and a scaled-back Coconut Island Hotel with accommodation for 32 guests opened in February 1950.

In 1948, Pauley donated a portion of the island to the University of Hawaii to be used as a marine research facility. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Pauley family used the island for summer get-aways and hosted many notable guests. From the mid-80s to mid-90s Japanese real estate investor Katsuhiro Kawaguchi owned the island and permitted the University of Hawaii to use some of its areas for research. In 1995, the Edwin Pauley Foundation granted a gift of $9.6 million to the University of Hawaii Foundation to purchase the private half of the island and build new laboratories on it.

The island is now completely owned by the state and is the facility for the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology, part of the University of Hawaiʻi. It is the only U.S. laboratory built on a coral reef. (Heron Island, Lizard Island and a number of labs in the South Pacific are located outside of the U.S.)

Coconut Island was used for the opening sequence of the television program Gilligan's Island.

Coconut island original name is Moku ‘o Lo’e which means island of Lo’e who was a lady that resided there in ancient times.

Many of the citation needed tabs are explained clearly on the individuals' page. Is there a policy on that? I'm not used to editing this part of Wikipedia, so I don't know.Hwdirre (talk)

Fictional / notable
Just curious, why do fictional characters from TV Soaps get listed here?
 * Jack Bauer - fictional character from the television program 24
 * Sydney Bristow - fictional character from the television program Alias

An An 06:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

To showcase the confluence between brand name recognition and the popular arts, specifically in how a university's name can double as means for adding some quality to a fictional character. Jack Bauer is a UCLA and Berkeley graduate, so the intention is to offer up a robust view of his talents.

Go Bruins, even the imaginary ones.

 * I think its fatuous. If you're fictional, you can't actually achieve anything and hence can't become notable. Though perhaps there should be a "fictional characters" subheading. An An 01:54, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Please note the passing of Guy Carawan on may 2, 2015 at age 87. He was famous folk singer, co-creator of We Shall Overcome. BA, MA sociology UCLA 1952. He was my roommate and friend and proud Bruin. Dr. Frank F. Montalvo, BA. MSW 1952. Alumnus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:6809:6DF0:5572:4FBA:9A18:526B (talk) 21:01, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

What exactly constitutes "noteable?"U235 11:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)u235
 * Notability (people) explains Wikipedia's definition of "notability" as it applies to people. For purposes of this article, my understanding is that the notability requirement essentially means that somebody shouldn't be included in the list unless there's a Wikipedia article about him or her. --Alexbook (talk) 04:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Added more
I've added Adam Sessler, he is a graduate with a bachelor's degree in English literature at UCLA. --SkinnerIJA 04:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Franklin D. Gilliam Jr.
Franklin D. Gilliam Jr. is currently vice-chancellor at UCLA. He is the highest-ranking African-American currently on campus. This information is from MSNBC --Ancheta Wis 09:34, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Current students
I'm afraid that the "current students" section is likely to quickly get out of date. I suggest that we just add the names to the relevant sections and not bother indicating who is currently enrolled. Thoughts?  Will Beback   talk    21:28, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

 * The information in the section was stale, so I went ahead and folded it into the main students section. --Alexbook (talk) 04:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Faculty and coaches
Aren't coaches members of the faculty? Should "coaches" be a sub-section instead of a main section? --Alexbook (talk) 16:13, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

 * I've merged coaches into the faculty section and renamed it "faculty and staff", which should cover everybody. I hope nobody objects. --Alexbook (talk) 04:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I guess somebody objected. Never mind, then. --Alexbook (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

What's the criteria for being listed here?
Either long NFL career or notable college career I'm assuming. Judging by Kris Farris's inclusion. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 23:38, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Olympic medalists in swimming
Hey, UCLA fans and alumni. I work a lot on Wikipedia swimming articles, and I noticed that this list omits most of the Olympic medalists in swimming that UCLA has produced over the years. You may want to consider creating a separate section for swimmers (see Category:UCLA Bruins swimmers), because there are over a dozen UCLA swimmers who have won Olympic medals, and at least another half dozen who won medals in other international competitions like the Pan American Games and FINA world championships.

Orphaned references in List of University of California, Los Angeles people
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of University of California, Los Angeles people's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "palyvoice": From Mark Schultz (wrestler):  From James Franco:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 04:59, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Tamahagane

Tamahagane (玉鋼) is a type of steel made in the Japanese tradition. The word means 'precious', and the word  means 'steel'. is used to make Japanese swords, daggers, knives, and other kinds of tools.

The carbon content of the majority of analyzed Japanese swords historically lies between a mass of 0.5–0.7%; however, the range extends up to 1.5%.

Production
is made of an iron sand found in Shimane, Japan. There are two main types of iron sands: akame satetsu (赤目砂鉄) and masa satetsu (真砂砂鉄). is lower quality, is better quality. The decides the amount of the mixing parts. Depending on the desired result, the mixes one or more types of sands.

The iron sand is put in a, a clay tub furnace. The clay tub measures about 4 ft tall, 12 ft long and 4 ft wide. The tub is dried and heated to about 1,000 C. Then, it is mixed with charcoal to add carbon to the steel so it can be hardened.

The process of making continues for 36–72 hours (a day and a half to three days), depending on how many people work and how much metal is to be obtained. Within an hour of smelting, the iron sand sinks to the bottom, called the bed of fire, in which it will be assessed by color on whether it became. The iron sand is added every ten minutes, and the mixture is frequently turned over.

After the is finished, the clay tub is broken and the steel is removed. The best steel is on the edges of the resulting metal block; in this area, the oxidation process is stronger. The quality of is determined by its color: bright silver pieces are very good for making blades.

Hey, thanks for turning that article into a proper one and adding all that info. All I knew of him was what he did in regards to Flight Unlimited. I had no idea about his numerous other contributions!--DooM Drat 06:12, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Frankly, Justin shouldn't have to settle for a User_talk page on Wiki. An honesttogoodness Wikipedia article is in order.

Ah, thanks for correcting me on the Seamus Blackly article
I should never 100% trust a Wikipedia image uploader's caption saying that was Seamus Blackly. (I removed the misinformed caption) When I zoomed on the scan cover, you're definitely right and your user page states that you have met him before. Thanks for removing it. :-) --Krystyn Dominik 7 July 2005 02:38 (UTC)

Justin, hiya, I'm contacting you as a neutral editor who knows the game industry.

Notability of Austin Grossman
seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. --Android Mouse Bot 2 06:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ranjit Bhatnagar
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ranjit Bhatnagar, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Gazimoff Write Read 16:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jason Wishnow
A tag has been placed on Jason Wishnow requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 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 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. ttonyb1 (talk) 14:20, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Facade-screencap.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Facade-screencap.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  04:18, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Blevin Blectum

The article Blevin Blectum has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Article has no sources thus failing WP:V. Subject appears to fail WP:BASIC, WP:CREATIVE and WP:MUSBIO. Claimed award appears to be well below the top level and is unsourced. The whole article reads like a resume. A Google yielded nothing that rings the N Bell. How did this article survive so long?

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Proposed deletion of James Bridle

The article James Bridle has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jessica Carew Kraft
Hello JustinHall,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Jessica Carew Kraft for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 20:54, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi JustinHall, just to note, I made the nomination because the article subject doesn't appear to meet our WP:GNG guidelines, including WP:AUTHOR. In addition, the article is essentially unreferenced; those that are present are a book review, two 'author pages' on websites, and links to articles she has written. If you believe the article could be improved to meet notability guidelines, perhaps consider moving it to draft space until it's ready for publication?

Jliberty 01:01, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that you feel that your time was wasted, but when the comments accompanying votes clearly form a chronological series of responses, reorganizing them in such a way has the effect of taking them out of the original context in which they were made.

Not to mention stupid, given that he shot himself in the foot. He has a long road to travel before reaching godhood, I'd say. ;-) SlimVirgin 23:26, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

Please see Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents. I think your block of User:Dnagod was in violation of Blocking policy. (Sam Spade | talk | contributions) 14:31, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Your more than welcome, and thank you for your respectful reply. I would ask you to reconsider the length of the block. For one thing I think indefinite blocks are generally a bad idea. In this specific case, if the user does decide to edit again, I think we'd all be best off if he did so under this account. I understand that he made some unfortunate comments, but I frankly feel an indefinite block is against both the letter and the spirit of the blocking policy.

Court cases template
Regarding your User:Postdlf/Template:Court cases and any similar tables you may have created: could you please consider top-aligning the labels and content? On Hamdi v. Rumsfeld the current alignment makes it difficult to see where, for example, Citations ends and Prior appellate history begins. - dcljr 00:09, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Categories for NYC
OK, I'll admit some of this confusion is based on my own inexperience, but let me just explain what was going on. Right now the NYC category needs some serious work (i.e.- the "Museums" sub cat is not  even listed alphabetically. Also, the Bronx and Brooklyn are listed as "articles" in the NYC cat, but Queens and Staten Island are not.) Anyway, since I am the one who created about half of the articles for the NYC museums, I was going in to add all of them to the NYC cat, since it is rather underutilized. I can see now the benefit of subcategorization in this respect, but it is still a bit disorganized. The bottom line is that my intentions were in the right place, but perhaps slightly misguided. I'll be more careful in the future though.--Jleon 03:30, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

British jurists category
You've set up category:British jurists. This is a useful category to have, but the problem is that the word jurist is rearely used in the UK. I suspect that a very large number of British readers won't know what it means, which will discourage them from visiting it. Others will confuse "jurist" with "juror", which is a common word in British English. I intend to move the four subcategories into a "British lawyers" category and list British jurists for deletion. British categories should be named in British English as it is supposed to have equal status in Wikipedia. If it means the British subcategory name is inconsistent with the parent category name, that's just how it has to be. For example, the British subcategory in Category:Auto racing is category:British motorsport. Nonetheless it's good that you initiated this. I've added numerous British people categories recently, but I missed this one. Any comments?Wincoote 23:37, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Is there a comparable word in British english to "jurist" that encompasses all legal professions? That's what was used on William Blackstone, which was what instigated me to create the set of categories.  Postdlf 00:30, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Just lawyers, which doesn't mean quite the same thing, but it will have to do I think. It is quite understood in the UK that judges are a subclass of lawyers, rather than a distinct profession, so that won't confuse people. I don't think it will mislead anyone, but if you want it can be stated in the blurb that not everyone listed is necessarily qualified to practice law. Sir William Blackstone died 225 years ago, and the term was perhaps was current in the UK then, as America presumably inherited it from the UK. An analogous term is "antiquarian", which appears in a number of British people articles, but is no longer in everyday use. There is a category:British antiquarians, but everyone in it is long dead, and the word is no longer used for a profession. Wincoote 01:46, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Tairrdelbach Vs. Turlough, Ruaidri Vs. Roderic
Dear Postdlf. Can you please give me a good reason as to why on earth you have changed my recent edits on the Ua Conchobhair Kings of Connacht? It is immensely frustrating to work flat out on the likes of this and then find within minutes that someone has changed it without even the courtsey of saying why. I do not have a problem with editing, but please tell me why and thus demonstrate that you know what you are talking about. Otherwise I am at a loss to understand your motives and frankly very pissed off. Sincerely, Fergananim

 * Sorry—after taking a look at the article's edit history, I reinstated your changes. It appeared to be vandalism at first glace, because the most recent edit was the removal of information without comment—when this is done by an anon IP, it is almost always a bad sign.  Postdlf 00:40, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough; I've had it done before and it is always depressing. Cheers. Fergananim
 * The simplest way to avoid it is to a) always log in or b) always leave an edit summary; I'd recommend doing both. Postdlf 22:43, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Court case infobox
Would it be possible to make a shortcut for listing the judges on the court at the time of the decision? --BD2412 22:29, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I know what you mean by a "shortcut". Later reported cases always list every justice involved; it's only a bit tricky in the earlier ones to figure out who joined what.  All that needs to be done when the opinion isn't clear is to check the list of justices and their terms on the bench against the date given for when the case was decided, and then list them in order of seniority.  Postdlf 22:39, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I was thinking of something along the lines of a template... ...which would allow any user to put in the complete list of justices serving during the term in question. --BD2412 18:56, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * That won't work because the terms don't correspond to calendar years. There are years, obviously, that have not had a change in court membership (we're currently in the 11th consecutive such year, I believe), but then people would have to know of which years that was true to know if they could use a template in a given court case.

Quick question
Hi, sorry to bother you, but I was just wondering why my IP address, 195.93.21.72. has been blocked? Which of my contributions was perceived as vandalism? Thanks.
 * That IP was blocked for vandalizing my user page. See .  The block expires expires 06:25, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC).  Any further vandalism from that IP will result in further blocks.  Postdlf 00:12, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Is it possible that my IP adress is shared with another person, as I've never seen or seen your page until a few hours before writing this?

Happy Birthday
Happy birthday, Postdlf, whenever it is, was, or will be. I got you a new State Supreme Court seal for your collection. -- 8^D BD2412gab 11:48, 2005 Mar 24 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It's already passed, but I'm sure the seal will stay fresh for next year.  As a Floridian, any opinion on the Schiavo case?  I've been keeping pretty close tabs on it, and documenting it in the context of the federal judge, James D. Whittemore.  I think we should eventually have an article just for the legal history of the case, separate from the bio at Terri Schiavo, that focuses on detailing the court proceedings and legal arguments.  Postdlf 22:50, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * The seal is relatively new, only dating to 1996, so they should keep it for a good while to come now. My personal feeling on the Schiavo case is that she's already dead, but her body hasn't caught up with her soul yet. I don't see the harm in letting her parents keep the blood flowing through the corpse as long as it makes them happy, but no court is going to touch it now. We actually covered the Schiavo case wherein the Fla. Sup. Ct. struck down 'Terri's Law' in my Florida Con. Law class last semester. It was really a run-of-the-mill separation of powers case, saying the legislature couldn't pass a law just to undo a final judgment handed down by a court. -- 8^D BD2412gab 23:50, 2005 Mar 24 (UTC)

Bluebook
Actually, that was me, not Fuzheado, who messed up your redirects. I didn't realize you were trying to enforce Bluebook style for article names. --Michael Snow 06:07, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * For the most part, yes. Federal courts do follow it, and at least as far as the short forms of case names go, I don't believe there really is much variation within the U.S. from what the Bluebook states (the variation is more among citation format—where the year goes, that sort of thing).  No American court document or judicial opinion is ever going to leave the "Inc."s and "Ltd."s off of a party name in the caption header, or in subsequent citations to the case.  I wouldn't recommend strictly following the Bluebook on abbreviations, however, as many would simply be confusing—we should spell out most words in article titles that aren't commonly abbreviated outside of legal discourse.  Postdlf 17:02, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I agree, the Bluebook is very much standard for the U.S. Although it does provide for dropping redundant corporate identifiers in some situations (e.g., X Widget Corporation, Ltd.), but that doesn't apply here. Anyway, sorry for screwing things up. --Michael Snow 17:55, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

1555 in law
Hi, I see you've removed some of the members, which I for the most part do not dispute. However, the description days the category includes "court cases decided". Presumably this would include John Rogers/the other "Marian martyrs"? Or is it only for certain types of court cases?--Pharos 20:40, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Because John Rogers (religious) was not a legal event in 1555, but an individual involved in one. The category structure is for articles about court cases, etc., not articles that refer to them in a series of other events.  Write an article that is solely about his prosecution and it would be entirely appropriate to include.  Postdlf 20:47, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for blocking that IP, I'm having a problem with two others doing similar things.

I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look. Thanks--nixie 00:09, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Category overlap
I strongly disagree that articles should be overlapped in categories: Primate is in Category:Primates which is in Category:Mammals. There is no reason that would insist on Primate being in Category:Mammals which would exclude Prosimian or Lemur (for instance) to also be in Category:Mammals. (Lemur is in Category:Prosimians which is in Category:Primates.) - UtherSRG 17:52, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Having all matching subcategory/article names duplicated in both sections makes searching through either section more difficult. An article should always be in its eponymous subcategory, but never in the categories above it. - UtherSRG 18:02, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * This issue has been discussed repeatedly in many other subject matter contexts since categories were introduced, and consensus and the better reasoning has always been on the side of placing articles in all categories that their self-defined categories would go in for classificatory and navigational purposes. See for example any of the U.S. place categories; every county is in a "(state) counties" category as well as in its own.
 * The article primate has the same relationship to Category:Mammals that Category:Primates does—primates are one of the orders of mammals. Placing it in merely its eponymous category classifies the article as merely defining its own series, instead of being itself a member in another group: it says that primates are sui generis—primates are primates, period—instead of being also a subgroup of mammals.  It also hinders navigation, because it means that anyone reading primate has to click through Category:Primates to get to other mammalian orders (ignoring the template for purposes of this issue), and how is an uninitiated reader to know that?
 * Regarding your lemur example, simply put, lemur is not to mammal as primate is to mammal, nor is lemur to primate as prosimian is to primate. Primate is to mammal as sirenia is to mammal, or artiodactyl is to mammal—they are orders of mammals.  Articles follow the same hierarchies that categories follow, and articles that define categories are logically in the exact same classificatory relationship to the category structure as their eponymous categories.  Postdlf 18:09, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Then I would argue that articles should not be placed in their own eponymous categories. Primate does not relate to Category:Mammals the way Mammal relates to Category:Mammals. Articles should not be placed in any more categories than are minimally needed to categorize them. When dealing with taxonomy, there will always be a tension between the number of articles in a category, and the number of categories needed to maintain an even classification of articles. Many categories will contain articles that are not of the same inherent classification level due to the sparcity (or density) of those articles.
 * However, I won't. By putting Primate in Category:Primates only and at the top of the article list, it gets separated as special. The subcategory list shows thenext level of classification. The article list show everything else that can't be further divided, starting with the broadest article, the eponym. Everything else is either unique and would be its own subcategory, or there are too few to create a new subcategory for.
 * I know it's been discussed before, and I backed down then. I was wrong. Not all category schemas can be treated equally. Geographic places are not animals, and categories dealing with each can't be painted with one global paintbrush.
 * Also, your methodology has a larger degree of maintenance required. Cattle has its own Category:Cattle, which is in Category:Bovines which is in Category:Bovids, which is in Category:Even-toed ungulates, etc.... What if some intermediary Category:Bosines is created which is in Category:Bovines and contains Category:Cattle? By your methodology, Cattle needs to be modified to fit the new structure since it would have to be in Category:Cattle and in Category:Bosines but not in Category:Bovines. By my methodology it does not. Either way, Category:Cattle gets modified to drop down a level in classification. The same problem does not occur in geography, at least not nearly as often. - UtherSRG 18:28, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * PS. Your talk is over 38k. - UtherSRG 18:28, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been meaning to archive for awhile.
 * Re: your maintenance issue, I don't think it's too hard to do a minor edit to the defining article of a category whenever that category is reassigned to new parents. Regardless, that problem is solved by applying  to articles, which automatically places them in any category that the named category belongs to.
 * I'll address your other points when I have a little more time... Postdlf 19:21, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Potential nominees to the Supreme Court of the United States
Our policy is "when in doubt keep" so a vote that is exactly two thirds in favour of deletion, which could be interpreted either way, should not be deleted. Moreover there is no "two thirds rule." What we are looking for is consensus, which I did not see. As to your other issues merge and delete votes have always been considered invalid as they violate the GFDL. See Guide to Votes for deletion. As to whether the page should be merged that is an issue independent of VfD. There were only 2 out of 26 voters who thought some form of merger as a good idea so it seems odd to go with by far the least popular option. I also personally feel it is deeply illogical to believe that those who believe the content should be deleted as unverifiable speculation, which was the reason given by most of the delete voters, would be pleased to see this same content integrated into a higher profile and more important article. - SimonP 23:42, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * The "least popular option" is exactly what you went with—more than a 2/3 majority did not want it to survive as an independent article. A vote to merge is a vote that the article should not remain as an independent topic.  Additionally, that listing of "merge and delete" under "incompatible votes" does not make any sense; otherwise, the most inapplicable and inappropriate titles would have to be kept as redirects if some, however little, of the original content was deemed worthy enough to survive integrated elsewhere.  Merges happen all the time.  And redirects are deleted all the time.  And new articles are created all the time by unmerging sections.  And parts of articles are copied all the time into other articles that have overlapping topics.  None of this preserves or replicates the edit history of the original smidgen of text, so I can't see how that would per se make a merge and delete vote invalid.  Furthermore, even under that policy, it nowhere says such votes are to be disregarded—it instead gives suggestions on how to otherwise interpret them.  Postdlf 17:26, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Req. for your work on Sony v Universal
I think Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios could make a great featured article. It doesn't quite meet the requirements yet, but it could with a little work. In light of the debates and cases about digital piracy and the obligations of hardware/software creators, the affirmation/modification/elimination of the Sony precedent is a key issue for the future of information technology.

Since you've worked on the article in the past, feel free to take another look to bring it "up to code" for a nomination. Feco 21:06, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it needs quite a lot more than a little work—it's currently little more a collage of paragraphs pasted directly out of the Court opinions. I'm all for working to improve it, however, and I've already made some small changes.  Just don't be expecting featured article without substantial changes.  The article needs more context on the technology, the fears of the entertainment industry, the development of the market for video recorders in the '70's prior to the filing of the lawsuit, a lot more explanation of the lower court rulings, and full summaries of the Supreme Court majority and dissent opinions rather than block quotes.  After that, some info on the further development of the home video market, subsequent legal developments, and a more illuminative comparison with the Grokster case.  After that, it will be good.  ; )  Postdlf 03:35, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification on Diagnosis: Murder
Ah, you're right. Indeed, I just wanted to change the main page to include the colon after the word "Diagnosis" (since the official title of the show did include the colon), so I indeed just copied and pasted all of the text just as it was from the old page without the colon and re-directed that old page to my new one. (Was just being something of an accuracy stickler there about he colon--LOL.) I genuintely had no idea the content on the page was improperly copied. Thanks for being alert about such things, though.

Talk:Found poetry

Newspaper Correction
From the Guardian "In our profile of Daniel Dennett (pages 20 to 23, Review, April 17), we said he was born in Beirut. In fact, he was born in Boston. His father died in 1947, not 1948. He married in 1962, not 1963. The seminar at which Stephen Jay Gould was rigorously questioned by Dennett's students was Dennett's seminar at Tufts, not Gould's at Harvard. Dennett wrote Darwin's Dangerous Idea before, not after, Gould called him a "Darwinian fundamentalist". Only one chapter in the book, not four, is devoted to taking issue with Gould. The list of Dennett's books omitted Elbow Room, 1984, and The Intentional Stance, 1987. The marble sculpture, recollected by a friend, that Dennett was working on in 1963 was not a mother and child. It was a man reading a book."

Found Poetry? --154.20.161.143 04:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

"Fagss" and "Treess"?
Found poetry is a type of slap created by taking fagss, treess, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry ...

Er, do these words belong in here? Do they even exist? They sent my spam alarm ringing, especially since they both link to the articles on "Fag" and "Tree" respectively as opposed to some obscure literary terms that I'm too ignorant to know about. I Googled both to make doubly sure that they aren't actually literary terms and couldn't find anything leading me to conclude that, so I deleted them both. If I was mistaken in doing that, however, please accept my humblest apologies and feel free to add them back in. 75.213.149.99 (talk) 13:17, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

duplicate articles
Hey, thanks for finding that! You can simply add " St Peter Damian" to the top of the Peter Damian article, and " Peter Damian" to the St Peter Damian article. Then go to Duplicate articles and list them so someone can see that they need to be merged, and eventually someone will merge them.

If you'd rather do it yourself, then you don't have to add merge notices the article. Pick the better name (which in this case would be Peter Damian, since we don't usually put titles in article names), and make that article contain all the important information from the other one. Then change the St Peter Damian article to just say "#Redirect Peter Damian". That way, both will redirect to the same place.

I hope this helps! – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 01:29, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Comorian franc
Hello again. If you go to the Comorian franc page and edit it, you'll see the line ''' ''' where the table would be. What that means is, you can go to the Template:AfricanCurrencies articles to see the code for that table. Then you can edit the table, and it will update all pages that include it. I'm glad that an expert on the Comorian franc will be improving the article! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 13:13, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

Poetry Chicago
Thanks for catching that. It was on a list of requested articles that I was going through about three or four months back and I must have either overlooked the Poetry (Chicago) page or not thought to check the "poetry" disambiguation. The original article looks better anyway. :) —chris.lawson (talk) 02:28, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

I've renamed the Poetry (Chicago) article Poetry (magazine) because that is a more natural place for someone to search. Redirects from Poetry Chicago and Poetry (Chicago) are in place. The talk page at Poetry (Chicago) had only one comment, agreeing that it should be at Poetry (magazine). If there are strong reasons why moving it was a mistake, let me know.

Sulfur lamps
Hi. I know you contributed to the article I wrote on sulfur lamps. I'm not very familiar with the technology (I used to just see it at the Air and Space and the DOE building). Someone has lumped sulfur lamps in with inductive lighting, which is described as a fluorescent technology. This seems incorrect to me. The article "sulfur lamp" has been renamed to "inductive lighting". Can you take a look at this as see if it's all correct? Also, can you explain to me what became of this technology? It was billed in the Washington Post as the "technology of the future." I am unable to find an answer why it failed. Thank you. SDC 18:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmm, well, blowing through 90M$ with no viable commercial product to show for it doesn't help. I think the technology still exists but for various reasons like problems with the microwave generator power supplies and such it never took off. Shame really, it was a very cool idea. I think you are right to doubt the accuracy of lumping the S lamp with "inductive lighting". They are simillar though. Induction lamps do NOT use magnetrons to excite the emitting gas so far as I can tell and S lamps do not use induction from a coil to light. I see alot of things that make no sense in the article and I will flag it for accuracy. Anyway as to S lighting, it's strange and somewhat sad seeing how a technology once seen as THE problem solving technology of the future just sort of slowly peters out, dies and then just fades into history. :-( ....--Deglr6328 04:29, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Atomic orbital
Hi, I noticed your addition of a new paragraph to the introduction of Atomic orbital. As the author of much of what was there before, I have to admit that much of what you said is beyond my expertise, but as far as I can understand it, it looks very thorough. However, I would like to point out that you completely disrupted the flow of the article. If we want the article to stand together as a unitary whole, rather than as a collection of disjointed paragraphs, one of two things must be done: I've watchlisted your talk page, so you can reply right here. --Smack (talk) 02:39, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) The new material should be integrated into the existing article structure.
 * 2) The article structure should be radically amended to include the new material.

 * Nice to meet you Smack, but I'm afraid you made a mistake. I made a small change to that article, but I did not write that paragraph.  It looks like it was 131.220.68.177.  I made the latest addition to the article.  I added the link to electron orbital—I was trying to figure out what the difference between those two topics was.  I'm not knowledgeable enough of the subject to have written that paragraph.  Hope this helps.  SDC 02:59, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Stubborn redirect
Well, that is very curious. I don't see any reason why there should still be a link to the redirect page. User:Mddake had a similar situation that seems to have been cleared up. I left a note with him to see if he knew how the problem there resolved itself. I'm stumped. Joyous (talk) 20:49, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Image:500KMF obverse.jpg
What is the license status? What does the Bank of the Comores allow? Does the bank allow unlimited copying of this image? That would be called counterfeiting in most countries and I don't think I'm too forward in suggesting that you neither have the copyright nor permission from the bank to upload this photo to Wikipedia.

Coty
Do you know how small the chance is that as I begun a new Coty (disambiguation) article I'd get an edit conflict??? So strange... I'll add what I have to yours, then. Jules LT 16:19, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Streetcar article
First of all, re: the modern light-rail line in Anacostia, I think that's a better fit in the Washington Metro article, since I consider the Washington streetcars article as an article about the historic streetcars, with 1973 being a cutoff year in that regard, being when WMATA acquired all the assets of the former streetcar operator. Thus anything prior to 1973 should go with the streetcar article, and anything beyond that should go with Metro.

As for how likely Anacostia's streetcar line is to be built, I can't say, but I'd guess that the test project in Anacostia will probably be completed. Beyond that will depend on the success of the Anacostia line, though I know quite a few people that are hoping that it bombs in favor of expanding the existing Metrorail network. But we'll see.

As for interurbans, I think it would be appropriate to add it to the streetcar article, at least at first. If it gets really big, then we might want to spin it off into a separate article. I'm personally a big advocate of forking vs. creating from scratch.

Regarding a streetcar map, I think making our own would probably be easiest. If we can find a good street map of Washington that's in the public domain (and one probably does exist), then we can just place the streetcar routes on top of it. Where to go, I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it.

As for Metro maps, I've only developed the one map that's on the Washington Metro article, and that took me six hours to do, in a single marathon session.

Calyon content Update
Hi SDC, I would like to thank you for you work on the Calyon content. I'm working within the Calyon online communication team in Paris and would like to get in touch with you so that we can coordinate our updates. I have updated the english content (as you have noticed) as well as the french one which is now available from the english version. I will need to update again the content for the english version. You will find me in the Calyon's directory (guerandel). Can you contact me by email ? Cheers Dixiweb2005

The Bible Unearthed
Thanks for you message, I have no problem withe the changing the title. Indeed it's a fascinating book, I am also very interested in Biblical and Abrahamic religions aspects along with commons beliefs and dogmas in those religions. On a moral note I think that it's a way to bring people together, I believe that this basically the same fate with different expressions because of geography, historical and poltical circumstances. I would compare that to local accents, cheers.--Khalid hassani 15:53, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Woodward disambig
I painstakingly constructed a disambiguation page at Woodward (which used to redirect to Bob Woodward) and then realized you had already created Woodward (disambiguation). Since no pages currently link to the latter page, would you be averse to having it deleted in favor of my version? - dcljr (talk) 02:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I just added three that you found that I hadn't yet come across. I think the page is now complete (except people with the middle name Woodward, which I'm not bothering with). The convention with surnames seems to be to not have "(disambiguation)" in the title. Witness: Smith, Jones, Tucker, Williams; but not: Smith (disambiguation), Jones (disambiguation), Tucker (disambiguation), Williams (disambiguation). I'm not sure if I should redirect your page to mine or put it up for deletion... - dcljr (talk) 03:13, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've redirected Woodward (disambiguation) to Woodward and added Alfre Woodard to the "See also" section. I figured that's probably the one most people will be searching for. I would have linked to Woodard, but it hasn't been created yet. - dcljr (talk) 03:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Streetcar Photos
Hey, not sure if you've seen this site http://www.clouse.org/dctrans.html#Dupont%20Circle%20Subway%20Station. but it has some good photos that might be appropriate. I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to upload them yet, so I thought you could have a look and make a call on it. Good work on the Streetcar site.

Help with Comorian franc
Sorry for the late response, as I was quite busy. As for the writing in Arabic on the coins this is simply : The Comarian Bank or in Arabic Bank Al Comore as Arabic is an official language in Comores, hope this helps.--Khalid hassani 14:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Washington streetcars
Thanks for the comment on my talk page, re: my georgetown photo. I should be adding more in the next weeks/months. Also, I'm very impressed with the work you've done on the Washington streetcars article, and think it has potential for featured status at some point. --Aude ( talk | contribs ) 02:37, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

User:SADC
Actually this user was one of a series of accounts that obviously belonged to the same person. Each of them got blocked after one edit, which was vandalism of Curps' talk page by blanking it with the words "SUPER COOL". Some of them happened to resemble the names of other Wikipedians, and were labeled as such. This particular case (SADC resembling SDC) may or may not have been intentional, but I labeled it as such, given the circumstances. This was occurred in Novemember, I wouldn't worry too much about it. — Feb. 24, '06 [06:49]

AMA Request for Assistance
Jennifer,

While I'd like to help you, unfortunately I already have two cases going (one in arbitration!) so I don't think I could give your case the attention it deserves. If you'd like, I could make enquiries as to acquiring you another advocate; or, if it's something that can wait a couple of weeks (but possibly longer), I might be able to take it then. Unfortunately, I just cannot guarantee that. I can, however, and will, have a look at the issue in preparation to get you some help. You can send me details on my talk page, or if you're not comfortable posting them there you can leave them at Paintball5320@aol.com, my personal e-mail. Thank you and good luck!

Yours,

Wally 22:17, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
