User talk:Isomorphic/archive5

I'm new and stumbled upon your work and like it so I am posting here for you to send me help/welcome stuff to my talk page. Your post on your newcomer welcome page said it would be ok. Thanks (Volcano1776 21:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC))

Bold textThanks for coming to speak to our class about Wikipedia... I didn't really know what it was before, but now I'll definitely use it - take care and best of luck! Jenna

Maria Olivia da Silva: 125?

Mr. Redux,

I'm taking this opportunity to assume that you are a reasonable person, which means LOGIC is more important than NATIONALISM. That said, your claim that Maria Olivia da Silva was the world's oldest person, proven beyond a doubt, is very, very off the mark.

Here is an article dealing with the issue:

http://www.seniorjournal.com/NEWS/SeniorStats/5-07-17OldestWomanChallenge.htm

You think it's just Brasil? Alberta Davis of Thomson, GA (USA) claims to be born Dec 24 1881, but we don't give her the "world's oldest person" title simply because there is no proof of her age. Or worse, invent/concoct false proof that on closer inspection was not real.

Sincerely Robert Young

Proposed guideline: conflict of interest
Last April, you left a comment on Wikipedia_talk:Autobiography about the conflict of interest that arises when someone writes about their own company. I have just proposed a guideline for dealing with these situations, and I'm looking for consensus on it. Could you take a look at Conflict of interest and let us know what you think? Thanks. --Yannick 03:35, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi Isomorphic, thanks for the positive feedback and support of my RfA. I'm glad you found my work on welding helpful, and I hope I can continue supporting the project now that I'm an admin. Thanks again! --Spangineer (háblame)  July 4, 2005 03:53 (UTC)

Discussion links
You make a very good point, although I'm not sure what the best solution is. In part, I'm more focused on writing a coherent article than coming up with all the links that might be appropriate, but fortunately I find that Signpost readers are often quick to add links I may have overlooked.

With respect to the discussion about games, much of it took place on the mailing list. This has its own unique problem, in that I can't just link to a thread generally but have to link a specific message, and doing this simply for the purposes of linking to the discussion is not as objective as I would like, because it privileges that particular message over the rest of the thread. With wiki discussions you can just link to the page where everybody has commented. However, upon reviewing the article I find that I should have at least mentioned that the discussion was on the mailing list. If you have more thoughts or suggestions on how to handle this or anything else related to The Signpost, I always appreciate your input. --Michael Snow 5 July 2005 20:51 (UTC)

Thanks for stating my concern so succinctly. I guess I was having a problem with that. Anyway, Elfguy suggested that the question be moved to WP:VP. I don't know how to do that and it seems that no-one has done that yet. If you think that the issue has merit then I would appreciate your help in getting to Village pump (proposals) or Village pump (technical) or where-ever you think appropriate. Thanks again, hydnjo talk 01:45, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks, Iso, for wishing me well when I took my extended break. As usual, you find the right words that encourage me and remind me of all of the many benefits and happinesses that accompany my small contributions here. I hope all went well with you these past few months, and please know that I am now back (in some capacity...haven't figured out if I'm fully back or if I will be a little sporadic), in case you'd like my help or input anywhere. I'm going to try to do more with articles and less with policy...but now that I'm recognized (by a few, at least) as a strong voice of reason, well, I suppose I won't be able to dodge all the policy discussions. :-) Best wishes to you, Jwrosenzweig 20:30, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

"paramilitary really has nothing to do with terrorism"
That must be a US perspective. In reality, the IRA and UVF in Northern Ireland are always described as "Paramilitary". The only other context in which I've seen the word used on this side of the atlantic is to describe semi-military police - Gendarmerie in France, Carabinieri in Italy (both are military police, but not MPs as per US Army) and the Black and Tans used by Britain in Ireland during the Irish War of Independence. So the use is much more analagous with paramedic. (No-one on this side of the atlantic would recognise US marching bands, survivalists, or self-styled "well ordered militias" as being paramilitary in any real world sense.)

So we need a compromise version that recognises both the UK English and US English senses of the word. --Red King 09:51, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, I agree that it is a case of local meaning. The problem is that, as the article is currently written, it only has the USA local meaning.  Continue the discussion at talk:paramilitary, ok? --Red King 11:18, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi isomorphic - I'm glad to hear that you're interested in a wikiproject game theory. So far, there are 5 of that are interested. If I get a few more folks, I think I'll go for it.

Nut on Jedi census phenomenon
Mind helping me deal with this idiot? He's being disruptive and borderline vandal. I think he's trolling. — Phil Welch 07:06, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * My suggestion would be to ignore the article for a day or two, then come back and do whatever you like to it. Most people like that have no attention span. If you just ignore him, you can come back tomorrow, fix the article, and you'll probably never hear from him again. Isomorphic 07:36, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Don't think so. He first edited the article yesterday and came back today to keep it up. You're an admin—can't you ban for disruption? (I'm not sure whether this would qualify). — Phil Welch 07:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I could ban him if he were vandalizing, but he's not. He's just strange and frustrating.  Neither of those, however, is a bannable offense.  If he were starting an edit war, I could protect the page or ban him possibly, but as long as he is behaving himself and legitimately seeking compromise (which he seems to be doing) then I can't (and shouldn't) do anything more than try to mediate. Isomorphic 08:14, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually admins have relatively little authority. Admin status gives you a set of technical abilities, but we're constrained by Wikipedia policies on when we can and can't use them.  Somebody got hauled over the coals recently for stepping out of line, in fact. Isomorphic 08:17, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Alright. He did start an edit war though (if you read the history). Still, I thought disruption by anons was a blockable offense. — Phil Welch 08:19, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Bagrationi and Georgian Nationalism
Yes, I know the problems as I have been watching them since late August. I expect fully for Levur or someone to revert my edits, after which I may revert back just to get them upset. I hope that a Georgian nationalist does not come to my door with a gun someday because I respect them with my most heartfelt regards, but it does bother me that they cannot just accept the majority opinion. I kind of wish we could just use an Encyclopedia Britannica entry here to kill the argument. I also attempted to just clean up the entry without changing much, but I had no choice but to reword the introduction to make it work. Since that is the part under discussion, that is why I expect a revert. I moved most of the succession list to List of Georgian Kings ages ago, so I don't care that much what happens on this page. I mostly hated the Georgian language all over the English page, keeping only the first reference to it since that made some sense to leave. I don't read Crillic and most other English-speakers don't either so we really could care less about that. There is an entire Georgian page (probably written by Levur) for Crillic Georgian. Nonetheless, I hope some resolution can be found so that I can move on to other projects less hesitantly. Thanks for the support, Isomorphic, glad some people are still fighting for our side. -Whaleyland 10:29, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected. I always thought the language looked a little odd but it not being Crillic would justify that.  Either way, I never stated that on the Bagrationi page.  But I do agree that, while history may often be written by those in the nation, it should not ONLY be written by them.  The international community has written many hundreds of Georgian histories throughout the centuries and most of them do not agree with the majority of Georgian records.  Whether this is due to mismanagement of ancient sources or a desire to justify Georgia's sovereignty, is not our concern.  I was hoping that by stating both, with theirs first, we could resolve the problem.  Likewise, I was hoping Levzur would not mind the removal of titles written in foreign tongues, saving those for the Georgian langauge page.  Apparently my hopes were in vain and we shall continue reverting until the cows come home or Wikipedia blocks further changes once again.  Sincerely, Whaleyland 02:03, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I sacrificed my own historical conscience for the better of format for now. I updated the page again after someone removed the dispute tag AGAIN.  I changed the dispute tag down a level since only one issue on the page really is problematic and I restored the page to my rewrite last night but kept his ancetry and origin information until it can be resolved.  Hopefully this will appease him.  Otherwise, I want the Wikimasters to go agro on his rear.
 * -Whaleyland 06:38, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The only way to fix the problem is to replace the errors that are not disputed. I would prefer you revert to my earlier version but I think Levzur will just revert to his older version then.  And then that Dispute guy keeps removing the tag.  Ugg...revert back to my prevous version when you get the chance and lets see what happens. -Whaleyland 07:50, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Speedy Delete
You said, "The lecture was just my knee-jerk reaction to someone quoting a rules page instead of presenting an argument. " I did present an argument, as did many others. The guidelines are appropriate to quote, and I addressed each point with an 'argument'. If that is not presenting an argument, then I do not know what is. Thank you for an explanation, though. jawesq 18:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It seemed like an obvious instance of abuse of Wikipedia. Many others complained as well.  I see that someone has already asked to undelete the article.  Amazing.jawesq 18:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Should
This is what the guideline says, Administrators encountering biographies that are unsourced and negative in tone, where there is no NPOV version to revert to, should delete the article without discussion. This does not say 'may'. It says 'should'. Perhaps I came off a little strong, but I have seen so much of this on Wikipedia, that it is alarming. I went into law as a second profession, because I still do consider it an honorable profession. I don't appreciate seeing an alleged encyclopedia turn into a venue for politics and attack - "Overlawyered", for example, is a partisan organization whose sole purpose it is to disparage the legal profession. But Wikipedia is quickly turning into the same thing. If Wikipedia condones attack articles on attorneys only known to their local community (not even nationally, let alone internationally), then I don't believe I want to be a part of it. These kind of articles are not encyclopedic, but are intended only to ridicule or disparage. I have seen this frequently on Wikipedia and find it highly objectionable - especially since Wikipedia is portrayed as an encyclopedia and not a gossip rag. jawesq 19:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like to point out this: policy in a nutshell|Articles about living persons require a degree of sensitivity and must adhere strictly to Wikipedia's content policies. Be very firm about high-quality references, particularly about details of personal lives. Unsourced or poorly sourced negative material about living persons should be removed immediately from both the article and the talk page. Responsibility for justifying controversial claims rests firmly on the shoulders of the person making the claim. Editors must take particular care when writing biographies of living persons, which require a degree of sensitivity, and which must adhere strictly to our content policies:

 * Verifiability
 * Neutral point of view
 * No original research

We must get the article right. Be very firm about high quality references, particularly about details of personal lives. Unsourced or poorly sourced negative material about living persons should be removed immediately from both the article and the talk page. These principles also apply to biographical material about living persons in other articles. The responsibility for justifying controversial claims in Wikipedia, of all kinds, but especially for living people's bios, rests firmly on the shoulders of the person making the claim.jawesq 19:56, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Todd Fink

Todd Fink (born Todd Baechle – pronounced "BECK-lee" – on March 3, 1974, in Omaha, Nebraska) is the lead singer of the band The Faint. He attended Omaha's Westside High School.

Career
Fink was also one of four members of the band Commander Venus, which was started by Conor Oberst in Omaha in 1994, and also included Tim Kasher and Robb Nansel. The band released two albums before it broke up: 1995's Do You Feel at Home? and 1997's Uneventful Vacation. The band released music on Lumberjack Records (later known as Saddle Creek Records) and New York's Wind-up Records.

As lead singer of The Faint, (formerly Norman Bailer), Fink has expanded his musical repertoire from the Commander Venus/Park Ave.-reminiscent Media to the more mature, acid-freak-out records Blank-Wave Arcade and Danse Macabre to the slightly mellowed Wet from Birth. With Fink in The Faint is his brother Clark Baechle on drums; Jacob Thiele on synth; Joel Peterson on bass; and the mysterious "Dapose" on guitar (Dapose joined the band during the recording of Danse Macabre).

In March 2005, he married Orenda Fink (of Azure Ray), subsequently taking her surname as his married name.

In 2007, Fink, Jacob Thiele, and Derek Pressnall (of Tilly and the Wall) started the dance party GOO, but tour schedules and Omaha venue changes shut the party down.

Album appearances

 * Bright Eyes - A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995–1997 (1998 - Saddle Creek)
 * Bright Eyes - Fevers and Mirrors (2000, Saddle Creek Records)
 * Bright Eyes - ''There Is No Beginning to the Story (2002, Saddle Creek)
 * Bright Eyes - Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002, Saddle Creek)
 * Cursive - The Ugly Organ (2003, Saddle Creek)
 * Steve Aoki - Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles (2007, Thrive)
 * Felix Cartal - Popular Music (2010, Dim Mak Records)

Trivia

 * Can be heard in the hidden track (after track 11, "An Attempt to Tip the Scales") on Fevers And Mirrors by Bright Eyes, impersonating Conor Oberst in a fake interview.

Edward William Godwin

Edward William Godwin (26 May 1833 – 6 October 1886) was a progressive English architect-designer, who began his career working in the strongly polychromatic "Ruskinian Gothic" style of mid-Victorian Britain, inspired by The Stones of Venice, then moved on to provide designs in the "Anglo-Japanese taste" of the Aesthetic movement in the 1870s, after coming into contact with Japanese culture in the 1862 International Exhibition in London. Godwin's influence can be detected in the later Arts and Crafts movement.

His best known early works include The Guild Hall, Northampton, which was his first notable public commission, and Congleton Town Hall, as well as restorations and neo-Gothic additions to Dromore Castle, Limerick and Castle Ashby.

Apprenticed to an engineer in Bristol, where his architectural training was largely self-taught, Godwin moved to London about 1862, and made the acquaintance of the reform Gothic designer William Burges. As an antiquary, he had a particular interest in medieval costume, furniture and architecture.

Godwin was widowed in 1865; during his affair with the renowned actress Ellen Terry between 1868 and 1874, she retired with him to Hertfordshire, and produced two children: Edith Craig (1869–1947) and Edward Gordon Craig (1872–1966), who became an important actor, designer, director, and theoretical writer of the early 20th century European stage. The affair inspired Godwin to spend much time designing theatrical costumes and scenery. After she returned to the theatre and their connection cooled, Godwin married a young designer in his office, Beatrice/Beatrix Birnie Philip (1857–1896), who bore him a son, Edward. After Godwin's death, she married the painter James Whistler in 1888. Godwin was a frequent contributor to the periodical British Architect and published a number of books on architecture, costume and theatre.

To judge from his sketchbooks at the Victoria and Albert Museum, one might have expected an eclectic historicist, but Godwin, by no means a tame reproducer of antiquarian Gothic designs, was among the first to extend the European design repertory to include the arts of Japan, which had been opened to the Western world in 1853. His Anglo-Japanese style of furniture, mostly executed with an ebonized finish, was designed for Dromore Castle and his own use from 1867. Similar designs produced later by the firms of William Watt and Collinson & Lock also emphasised the stripped-down "Anglo-Japanese taste" pared of merely decorative touches. The spirit of Japan, rather than mere details, is strongly revealed in a black cabinet Godwin designed for Collinson & Lock, now at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

In the 1870s and 1880s Godwin's designs could be found at Liberty and Co.; his wallpapers, printed textiles, tiles, "art furniture" or metalwork set the tone in houses of those with an artistic and progressive bent. Oscar Wilde was among his clients, describing him as "one of the most artistic spirits of this century", as was Princess Louise, for whom he designed a studio at Kensington Palace.

From 1876, Godwin designed houses for the new garden suburb of Bedford Park, Chiswick. His designs were thought poor, as they had steep staircases, a toilet in the bathroom, relatively small rooms, and narrow corridors. Only a few of his houses were built; they are taller and narrower than those built by other architects.

In 1877 the painter James Whistler, himself a connoisseur of Japanese prints, commissioned Godwin to build him a house in Tite Street, Chelsea, which Godwin completed the following year, in spite of its being initially objected to by The Metropolitan Board of Works. However, Whistler's bankruptcy in 1879 forced the sale of the house along with the rest of the painter's effects. The buyer of the house, an art critic, made alterations that Whistler and Godwin deplored. (The White House was demolished in the 1960s.) Whistler and Godwin shared an interest in Chinese and Japanese art and collaborated over The White House and in a number of projects involving furniture and interior design, notably "Harmony in Yellow and Gold: The Butterfly Cabinet". When Whistler exhibited his radical Impressionist paintings of Venice, Godwin entirely redecorated the exhibition galleries to complement them.

Godwin then designed another house in Tite Street for Archibald Stuart-Wortley and Carlo Pellegrini, later sold to Slingsby Bethell. A third house in Tite Street was commissioned by Frank Miles and completed the following year, 1878, originally number 1 but still standing and now numbered 44. Miles lived there, initially with his friend Oscar Wilde, until committed to an asylum in 1887, after which it was sold by his family to the artist, G.P. Jacomb-Hood.

In 1881, Godwin designed a new entrance for the premises in Bond Street of the Fine Art Society, a progressive venue for exhibitions of new art, where one of the first exhibitions of Japanese woodblock prints was held.

Godwin died on 6 October 1886 in London from complications following an operation to remove kidney stones.

Culture of Goa

Goa is a state of India. Goans are commonly said to be born with music and football in their blood because both are deeply entrenched in Goan culture.

Religion
According to the 1909 statistics in the Catholic Encyclopedia, the total Catholic population was 293,628 out of a total population 365,291 (80.33%). Within Goa, there has been a steady decline of Christianity due to Goan emigration, and a steady rise of other religions, due to massive non-Goan immigration since the Annexation of Goa. Native Goans are outnumbered by non-Goans in Goa, but Christianity remains prevalent in the state, with a higher percentage of Christians than the national average. Conversion seems to play little role in the demographic change. According to the 2011 census, in a population of 1,458,545 people, 66.1% were Hindu, 25.1% were Christian, 8.3% were Muslim and 0.1% were Sikh.

Festivals
The most popular celebrations in the Indian state of Goa include the Goa Carnival, (Konkani: Intruz), Shigmo and São João (Feast of John the Baptist). The most popular festivals in Goa include Ganesh Chaturthi (Konkani: Chavath), Diwali, Christmas (Konkani: Natalam), Easter (Konkani: Paskanchem Fest), Samvatsar Padvo or Sanvsar Padvo and the feast of St. Francis Xavier, who is known as Goencho Saib by the Catholic Community in Goa.

Cuisine
Rice with fish curry (Xit kodi in Konkani) is the staple diet in Goa. Goan cuisine is renowned for its rich variety of fish dishes cooked with elaborate recipes. Coconut and coconut oil is widely used in Goan cooking along with chili peppers, spices and vinegar giving the food a unique flavour. Pork and beef dishes such as Vindalho, Xacuti and Sorpotel are cooked for major occasions among the Catholics. An exotic Goan vegetable stew, known as Khatkhate, is a very popular dish during the celebrations of festivals, Hindu and Christian alike. Khatkhate contains at least five vegetables, fresh coconut, and special Goan spices that add to the aroma. A rich egg-based multi-layered sweet dish known as bebinca is a favourite at Christmas. Cashew feni is made from the fermentation of the fruit of the cashew tree, while coconut feni is made from the sap of toddy palms.

Architecture
The architecture of Goa shows a distinct Portuguese influence. Fontainhas in Panaji has been declared a cultural quarter, showcasing the life, architecture and culture of Goa.

The Churches and Convents of Goa are a group of six churches that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Basilica of Bom Jesus holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, the patron saint of Goa. Once every ten years, the body is taken down for veneration and for public viewing. The last such event was conducted in 2014.

Influences from other eras (Kadambas of Goa, Maratha Empire) are visible in some of Goa's temples, notably the Mahadev Temple and Saptakoteshwar Temple.

Sports
Football is the most popular sport in Goa along with Cricket. Athletics, chess, hockey, swimming, table tennis and basketball are other popular sports in Goa. Fishing is also a popular recreational activity.

Music
Goan Catholics have been performing Western classical music since the 1500s, because it is an integral part of the Catholic liturgy. Mando, dekhnni, dulpod and tiatr are traditional Goan musical forms in Konkani developed from Western Music.

Goan Hindus are very fond of Natak, Bhajan and Kirtan. Many famous Indian Classical singers hail from Goa, such as, Kishori Amonkar, Kesarbai Kerkar, Jitendra Abhisheki, Prabhakar Karekar.

Dance
Some traditional Goan dance forms are dekhnni, fugdi, corridinho and dashavatara. Western social dancing is a part of most celebrations.

Theatre
Goans are very fond of theatre and acting. Kalo and dashavatar were popular art forms. Marathi Nataks have been very popular among Hindus in Goa for the past two centuries. Tiatr is the major Goan form of theatre common amongst Catholics and is the most commercial offering as it has entertained Goans not only in Goa but also in Mumbai and Pune (which are major cities of India and have a sizeable Goan population) and in the Gulf regions of UAE, Kuwait and so on.

Language
The majority of Goans speak Konkani as their first language, while the remaining speak other languages, like Hindi, Portuguese or Marathi as their primary language. However, practically all Goans can speak and understand Konkani. Konkani is an important part of the Goan identity that binds together all Goans.

Tourism
Goa developed an international reputation in the 1960s as one of the prime stops on the legendary India-Nepal "hippie trail". In the mid-1960s, several Westerners, including "Eight Finger Eddie" walked over the hill to Calangute, and decided to create a community for Westerners. In the early years, Calangute and Baga were the center of this scene, but it grew over the years to include other nearby cities like Anjuna Beach, which became, and arguably still is, the center of the Western youth culture of Goa. By the mid-1980s, there were over 8000 Westerners living in Goa, mostly from Western Europe. The scene was marked by drug culture, trance music and free love. Goa remains today an international center of youth culture.

Starting in the late 1990s, Goa began to attract a more "upscale" audience, which in turn drove prices up, which in turn drove many in the "hippie" community to other less-expensive areas. Arambol—the beach community furthest away from "civilization", like electricity and running water—became the center of a battle between those wanting to turn Goa into a more traditional upscale resort area, and those wanting Goa to retain its traditional rustic counterculture appeal.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Polygon sum conjecture

 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 DELETE. JeremyA 04:01, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Polygon sum conjecture
It is well known that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, for a quadrilateral it is 360 degrees, and for a polygon with n sides it is 180*(n-2). This is not a conjecture, rather a very easy to prove theorem. So, this article is a hoax. Shall we have it deleted? Oleg Alexandrov 01:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not a conjecture, title is a joke, and information is already found in polygon. drini ☎ 01:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree. Dmharvey Talk 01:29, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. A hoax.  Every schoolchild learns this fact; it's not a conjecture. Michael Hardy 02:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. With the quality of math textbooks at the junior-high and high-school levels, it's quite possible that there exists a geometry book which uses this term. But you'll never see that book in MY classroom... ESkog 02:31, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete NeoJustin 02:37 June 3, 2004
 * Comment: It's not a hoax. A quick Google search shows that it the expression is used pedagogically -- when presented it is conjectural, and it is for the students to prove them. Or something like that. Perhaps this should be deleted, but certainly not for any of the reasons set forth above. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 03:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * A conjecture is an unsolved problem in mathematics. The thing for students, is I think called homework problem. Oleg Alexandrov 03:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I agree, and the usage disturbs me -- but deleting it because we don't think it should be used that way doesn't mean it isn't used that way -- our opinion of the usage is irrelevant. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 14:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete or Redirect to polygon. Personally, really, I'd favour a full explication and working out of the conjecture itself - seemingly-simple questions such as "what is 1 + 1" and "how many degrees are in a circle" can be expanded to really interesting fields of math, but, as is, the article has nothing.  It seems like it could be something interesting, but, until it is, it's less than nothing. 216.158.31.195 17:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect. But also, where would be the best place for actual mathematical proofs? Wikipedia, Wikisource or Wikibooks? the wub (talk) 17:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Polygon. "Polygon sum conjecture" is a misnomer, but it seems to be a misnomer with some currency.  Someone who encountered this phrase might look it up in Wikipedia; it would be good if they found an article that explained that the "conjecture" is actually a long-established theorem.  -- Dominus 20:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect if people actually use this. Those who do will be educated when they are redirected to the correct title. No Account
 * Redirect seems to be school curriculum of some sort, a method of teaching elementary geometry: one forms a conjecture, and then one proves it. Horridly named; I urge all to participate in school discussions because nonsense like this is rampant throughout the American school system (dudn't know bout no furen skools, tho). linas 22:55, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect. Term does not have much currency (81 Google hits for "polygon sum conjecture" -wikipedia) and is a misuse of the word "conjecture". Eric119 23:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, since it can never be more than a stub. ··gracefool |☺ 01:04, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 'BTW, it's easily could be a conjecture in some geometry for which it is unknown if it's Euclidean.  Grue   12:59, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Usage is extremely rare and limited to a couple of texts. In this way any theorem may be called "conjecture". Indeed, there ase some theorems that for a long time knwn as conjectures, and usage of such kind of redirect would be justifiable. This is most clearly not the case. mikka (t) 15:52, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a conjecture. The "conjecture" terminology is only used pedagogically in first few Google hits. A5 19:52, 8 Jun 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 .

Talk:Old Goa

Should this be at Velha Goa or Old Goa. I noticed the Slovenian, German, and Czech all had it under Velha not Old Goa. Falphin 01:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Amazing Feat
The physical removal of the Palace of the Adil Shah from Old Goa to Nova Goa (Pangim) was truly a remarkable feat, as the article says: "The viceroy then moved the palace of Adil Sha to Panaji". To the best of my knowledge, the Paco de Idalcao in Nova Goa was always where it is.

But what is "In 1835 after religious suppression the city was virtually deserted" supposed to mean?

The article also needs to clarify that there are 2 separate "ghost cities" of Old Goa, called Goa Velha and Velha Goa respectively. Goa Velha is the first city of Goa, to the south of the present site of Old Goa. Old Goa or Velha Goa is the city founded by Arab refugees from Bhatkal and conquered first by Yusuf Adil Shah I ("Idalcao") from the Raja of Belgaum, a feudatory of Vijayanagaram, and then by Albuquerque from Yusuf Adil Shah I.

Goa Velha, Velha Goa
These are two different places. Kindly note the mix-up that's happening between them. A friend wrote:

 * Old Goa is Portuguese for Goa Velha as well as for Velha Goa.Goa Velha and Velha Goa are two distinct places in Goa. Goa Velha is actually an 'ancestor' of Velha Goa. Formerly Govakapattna or Govapuri, Goa Velha was the capital of the Kadambas and, later, of the Bahamanis, who finally transferred their capital to Ela, now Velha Goa. Yes, Velha Goa. The Central Government Postal Department and a number of State Depts. do not know it by any other name, till date. Curiously, 'Old Goa' has found favour with the Panchayat, the Police Station and ... the general public. Understandable.
 * Both Goa Velha and Velha Goa are known for a procession peculiar to the place, which has, respectively, only one more parallel in Europe: the Procession of the Franciscan Saints (Santanchem Pursanv) in Goa Velha and the Procession of 'Capas Magnas' (Xempeanchem Pursanv) in Velha Goa.
 * I have just noticed that the Old Goa entry in the Wikipedia is routed to 'Goa Velha,' in more than one language, but not in French yet ...

Just seeking to draw your attention to this error. --fredericknoronha 12:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes Goa Velha and Old Goa are completely different places.. I am amazed to see this discrepancy in WIKI ..I was brought up at Goa Velha which is roughly 10 km on NH17 from Panjim to Margao Highway ..Whereas Old Goa or Velha Goa lies roughly 10 km away from Panjim on NH4A which goes towards Ponda.

All the churches mentioned here are at Old Goa or Velha Goa ..Goa Velha has St Andrews' S Church ..Old name for Goa Velha was Govapuri during the Kadamba rule ......Sujit K   Sept 17th 2008

 * Could you please show the locations of Goa Velha and Velha Goa on a map (preferably http://maps.google.com/)? Thanks, --Kjetil r (talk) 20:50, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Old Goa is the site of the Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral and numerous other historically, culturally, and Christian religiously important structures and institutions. It is a World Heritage Site. map

 * Goa Velha is a village somewhat to the south. St. Andrew's church is its parish church.map It is famous for its yearly 'procession of saints'

 * Velha Goa is the portuguese name for Old Goa, but this name is not commonly used today. It is rare enough to cause ambiguity as to which of the places it refers to.

 * So, Velha Goa should be a redirect to Old Goa, with a clear note that the person may also be searching for Goa Velha.

 * For the record, Old Goa is known in Konkani as Vhoddlem Goem, Saibachem Goem, and less commonly, Pornem Goem and Adhlem Goem. It's a very important place, so it's got a lot of titles!

Battlefield Britain

Battlefield Britain is a 2004 BBC television documentary series about famous battles in British history. The 8 part series covers battles from Boudicca's rebellion against the Romans in 60AD to the Battle of Britain in 1940 it also covers the impact and implications the battles had on the future of the British isles.

The series is presented by father and son team Peter and Dan Snow. Peter explains the battle plans, topography of the battleground and the actions of the generals while Dan visits the sites to give the real-life perspective of the servicemen on the ground.

The episodes also feature re-enactments of key phases of the battles, a computer-generated bird's-eye view of the battleground to show the topography and troop movements.

Production
Dan Snow said there was never any plan for his father and him to work together. it happened after someone at the BBC saw Dan's video diary of the Oxford and Cambridge boat race in 2000. Peter Snow was then offered the chance to do a history series with his son, an idea he initially rejected. Dan talked him round and they filmed a pilot episode. Dan has stated that he didn't find the work easy.

"I was very wooden and I had to go on a steep learning curve. In the process I developed a huge respect for Dad's ability to explain really complex things in simple language, without ever dumbing anything down."

Media information
A companion radio show Battlefield Ramblings was broadcast weekly on BBC Radio 4 to accompany the series. Each week a guest would join the presenter Muriel Gray for a walk in areas linked to the people and events featured in the TV show. The first episode was broadcast from Boudicca's Way in Norfolk with guests Dan and Peter Snow who argued constantly during the programme.

In Australia, all eight episodes aired on SBS TV in its As It Happened history timeslot each Saturday at 7:30pm from 22 January until 12 March 2005.

DVD release

 * Battlefield Britain: The Complete Series (3-disc box-set), Region 1 (NTSC) and Region 2 (PAL), BBC Worldwide, 23 October 2006

Online game
A popular online game Battlefield Academy was created by Solaris Media (now Playniac) to accompany the series. The game features four historical scenarios based on episodes from the series and was produced with Dan Snow, Matthew Bennett from Sandhurst and the BBC History team.

Reception
The series won Best Visual Effects at the BAFTA craft awards in 2004. And a Welsh BAFTA award for Best Sound in 2005.

Catonsville High School (CHS) is a four-year public high school in Catonsville, Maryland. It is located on the southwest side of Baltimore County, Maryland, close to the Baltimore border near Anne Arundel and Howard County, just outside the Baltimore Beltway.

History
The original school traces its roots to Catonsville School, formed in 1903. Students were taught at the original brick building until 1910, when a large new school was dedicated to relieve overcrowding. In 1925, Baltimore County purchased land and buildings from the Catonsville Country Club with the intention of making it the new high school.

In 1954, a new building was dedicated at the school's current location. The campus was originally the "Farmlands" estate, owned in the 19th century by Theodore Lurman. The Lurman Woodland Theater on the school's grounds is named in his memory.

The school benefited from a 77000 sqft expansion in 1999. There have been other upgrades and renovations to many of the structures.

Academics
Catonsville High School received a 64.5 out of a possible 100 points (64%) on the 2018–2019 Maryland State Department of Education Report Card and received a 4 out of 5 star rating, ranking in the 61st percentile among all Maryland schools.

Students
The 2019–2020 enrollment at Catonsville High School was 1826. The graduation rate at Catonsville High School ranged from 94% in 1998 to a low of 83% in 2001.

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live.

The result of the debate was - all kept, but need cleanup and renaming - SimonP 13:49, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * Empire of Japan (additional economic and financial data)
 * Votes for deletion/Empire of Japan (additional economic and financial data)

It looks like someone took an old book on Imperial Japan and split it into a large number of article. All of them of the same quality and use: it sems that all of them cover data for past time. While pieces of them may be salvageable into corresponding articles with proper titles, in this form they are inadmissible in main article space. mikka (t) 01:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

One may also want to keep an eye on other cotributions of the anon. mikka (t) 01:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I do. I see no reason to make a mass deletion here. By putting these on VfD, rather than clean-up, you have prevented any moving to better titles, or merging. Charles Matthews
 * No I did not. see, eg my nomination at Votes for deletion/Japanese Culture,religion and Education. If you need these pages for further work, please put them into your own user space as subpages. mikka (t) 17:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete all. If someone wants to work ith them, put into personal subpage. mikka (t) 01:29, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the whole bunch. I did vote to delete on all of the individual VfDs, already, but in the interests of clarity and expediency, I figure I may as well voice the vote here, too. Seriously: the language is mangled enough that it might as well be nonsense. I honestly cannot make heads or tails of any of it, and I seriously doubt anyone could salvage anything from this mess. -- Captain Disdain 01:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all. These all read like a bad Babelfish translation. A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  03:13, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Exteremly Strong Keep!: I understand the tendency, because I ran into one of these.  However, please check out User:Charles_Matthews/Imperial_Japan.  These contributions are made by a spanish speaker providing information out of sources no longer in print.  There are several people working on them (for instance, you can check the results at Nakamura_Diary.)  Personally I've been working on Reformed Government of the Republic of China.  You can see my discussion with User:Charles Matthews about this subect in the talk page. Wikibofh 03:34, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * then they should write them in spanish and have some who can speak english translate them before adding them as articles. i'm going to move the lot into my user page and see what i can do, though. Nateji77 13:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment:My problem with Userfying them is that then they end up in the widely ignored userspace. There is enough work here that it needs to be someplace where people can stumble upon them and work at cleaning them up (which is what I did).  We need the strength in numbers, because it's hard work.  It would take me a long time (if ever) if they were just in my user space (or anyone elses).  I'd rather see the wiki at work.  Wikibofh 14:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Isn't it policy acceptable to put them into articlespace as something like "Imperial Japan Finances/temp". Then post any of the cleaned content to date, a note about their origin and state of development in "Imperial Japan Finances" page with a link to the temp pages?  -- Un  focused  15:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * If these are reliable data are from valuable, out-of-print sources, perhaps the editor should at least *cite* the source so they have some appearance of verifiability. I don't know how you can tell what source these are from though... perhaps private correspondence? --Tabor 17:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Here is the bibliography that Charles Matthews has. Wikibofh 20:07, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * As I stated below on a similar comment, this makes little sense to me because (a) Charles Matthews is not contributing the foundation articles and (b) this is a general bibliography on the topic which makes no particular connection with any of the articles. I'm asking about the sources that User:Wlad k or IP number 200.46.X.Y or whatever he chooses to call himself is using.  By this logic, I could write anything at all in these articles, and because Charles Matthews has a bibliography in his userspace, it would be considered sourced information. --Tabor 02:00, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*Userfy. You should take these to a user subpage as a workspace for cleanup. Because these are so difficult to read, they're too raw to be articles. Otherwise, I think you'll spend all your time fighting off VfDs. Userfying them will let you develop them, and post them back as new articles when they've had a basic cleanup. That doesn't mean you have to wait until they're fully done, but they should at least be a short overview of a topic. You could then post the remaining raw data onto the article's talk page to allow for collaboration without exposing the severely broken english in main article pages. -- Un focused  03:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Again I say, delete and resubmit in the English language. EDM 04:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless Wikibofh rewrites them into English before the 5 day period is up. RickK 05:39, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: *laugh* I couldn't even clean up Reformed Government of the Republic of China in the 5 day window (now at 4 days :) Wikibofh 14:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Could I ask for clarification ? As a realtively new user, is it policy that articles which do not meet certain qquality standards, but on which work is being done, be deleted completely until they reach such standards, rather than marking them with requests for assistance, and allowing organic development of the entries ? --Simon Cursitor 07:05, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Precedent says no that isn't a policy. Wikipedia is a work in progress and thus contains thousands of articles of a visibly sub-par nature. However as Wikipedia slowly matures, and its editor base changes, the average amount of patience that the user base has with such articles has diminished. "Modify in user-space" is becoming a more common and acceptable suggestion" but I think everyone continues to agree that we don't won't to lose material. Pcb21| Pete 13:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification --Simon Cursitor 15:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. The correct course of action, marking them for cleanup, has already been done.  Almafeta 06:36, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy all of them and work on them until there is a correct English version of this that makes sense. None of these currently belong in the main namespace, and either way a lot of the titles have spelling mistakes. --Idont Havaname 06:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy artilce in this condition don't belong in the main namespace. --nixie 07:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup or use as a source. Information may be relevant but unfortunately the articles are really in very shoddy condition. People willing to work on them could move them to temp or user pages or use them, for example, as a source for articles like Empire of Japan. I do not think complete deletion would be in order - Skysmith 08:56, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all, articles aren't up to encyclopedic quality. JamesBurns 09:14, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the lot.   — J I P | Talk 10:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the information. Please do not throw out the baby with the dirty bathwater. Pcb21| Pete 10:12, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the lot. I'm sure the author had the best of intentions and put a lot of work into this, but it's just too indecipherable to make out anything useful or flag it for cleanup. Jamyskis 10:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or userfy if people are working on them but they are in need of clean-up and after that movement to better titles. -- Lochaber 13:01, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, clean up of course. Anything that is not worth keeping in its cleaned-up state is naturally subject to being deleted. I can't understand why people say 'delete' before those who would be interested in cleaning up, rationalising and editing the material have their change. By the way, the author is a prolific contributor, with a track record of digging up much useful research from contemporary sources. Empire of Japan (additional economic and financial data) has already been substantially cleaned up. I protest at its inclusion at the end of the list of others. Charles Matthews 13:04, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The reason I would vote 'delete' before cleanup is that it seems to me that cleanup would require some mindreading as to what the contributor meant by much of the existing phrasing. The contributions are neither in English nor in a language that can be translated into English. EDM 17:08, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment i cleaned up one of the articles here; so far it doesnt seem to be worth the effort, but i'll take a look at the others, see what turns up. Nateji77 14:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Maybe it's because of my degree in Finance, but I find your cleanup efforts laudable and worthwhile. -- Un  focused  15:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * yeah, but things like "the heavy industrial amplified by ones 400%"--is that revenue or assest value? the cochinglish doesnt turn me off, is the vagueness the articles would have even if they were written in native english. Nateji77 09:42, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Temporary keep: keep for now, but relist the lot here in a month's time, at which time any articles not cleaned up should be deleted. Since the current contents of many of these articles are baffling, this current vote's decision should not bind any future vote: the articles may be deletable on other grounds, once they've been tidied. -- Karada 15:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or Userfy unless more information about the source of this information can be obtained. I have two general problems with these articles.  One is that much of the material is so garbled, I don't see how it can be reliably cleaned up.  Sure, you can take some wild guesses at what the editor meant, but basically the original has been run through a distortion filter.  How can this information be dependable?  The second concerns the original sources.  Especially in a case such as this, the source should be cited for verifiability.  Somehow "This is what I think someone who doesn't speak English was trying to relate from uncited sources that cannot be checked" does not seem to be a dependable standard. For example:
 * in Chosen Province,the most great and important of your exterior areas residing ones 25,000,000,000(1944 census)between theirs stay one 3% of Japanese residents,why served in government,commerce,industry and Military services.exist one Chinese and Manchu little minority another Koreans living in proper japan,Manchuria and Russian Siberia.
 * Is there a serious suggestion that that the population of this province was 25 billion, or if the number does not refer to population, to what does it refer? Keep in mind, all this data is coming from (an) uncited source(s). --Tabor 17:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Here is the bibliography that Charles Matthews has. I would agree that the population of 25 billion is probably on the high side.  :)  Wikibofh 20:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't quite understand this comment, because Charles Matthews is not the person submitting the garbled articles. This is a general all-purpose bibliography on Imperial Japan.  It does not tell us where the contributor's many specific facts and figures came from.  I think making something verifiable and identifying the source of data requires a bit more precision than a general purpose bibliography in userspace that is not specifically connected to any of the articles. --Tabor 01:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Tobycat 23:37, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly these are substandard, but this is grounds for cleanup, not deletion. ··gracefool |☺ 00:59, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've thought about this, and to me, the progress already evident on these articles are a prime example of how a Wiki works.  However, each and every one of these should be moved to an article title appropriate for what the core editors believe will be the end result.  If you later find your guess was wrong, move them again.  ;)    Un  focused  01:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, and resubmit if they're in English. My day job is checking English translations done by Japanese engineers, and nothing I've seen on the job has been as bad as these. These are too garbled to be even minimally acceptable, and any acceptable "clean-up" would have to be a complete replacement of the text. --Calton | Talk 07:07, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Imperial Japan is extremely noteworthy, but repair the translations.     17:09, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy / Move to temporary space I have worked on a few of these articles and have two strong concerns.
 * 1) With the original text in Japanese and the contributor being a spanish speaker we are looking at three translation steps here:  Japanese → Spanish → broken English → English.  When working on the broken English I've been worried that I have been at risk of changing the original information.  Quite honestly, I concluded that the integrity of the information was getting compromised as a result of the multiple translation steps.
 * 2) The contributor is highly prolific.  A look at User:Charles_Matthews/Imperial_Japan reveals several dozen articles and content seems to be added daily.  The sheer volume of fixing them combined with the risks of information loss/distortion suggest that the issue of problematic articles from this source will persist and likely grow unless the Wikipedia community comes up with a way to actively manage it.  I don't think we should delete this information, but we should quarantine it for further work.  If we do nothing, I fear we'll be back here in a month having the same conversation but with an even longer list of articles.  Even worse, I fear we'll end up with a bunch of articles that have been cleaned up from broken English but are full of inaccuracies because none of the translation can be confirmed.
 * Comment. Keep in mind that if this is just a translation (however bad) of a work protected by copyright, it would be copyvio. --Tabor 01:54, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Too many problems; complete rewrite needed, lack of sources plus inability to learn sources due to contributor anonymity and poor language skills, potentially copyvio, inability to determine copyvio status. If people want to, they could be userfied and merged but the source and copyvio questions remain very pertinent, with no likely resolution  DirectorStratton 02:20, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong delete drini ☎ 17:36, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep There is nothing wrong with tagging such as stubs, clean. Suspecting a copyright problem is not proof one has occured. Futhermore, if these are translations,  copyrights devolve to the translator, iirc, which makes Copyvio moot.
 * I should be able to attend to some cleansing as I continue working through Russo-Japanese War related artys, whereon, I have no less than eight references spanning six decades, about half of which treat some of these topics (Based on a quick peek at the Vfd nominees). I'm not sure why some Artys seem imcomprehensible -- apparently those voters lack contextual knowledge, and should perhaps exercise more discretion. Several of the articles are especially bad in that they are period focused (circa WW-II ands aftermath) without refering to prior or subsequent (to current days) history, but that merely confirms their status as a stub needing expansion.
 * Timeframe of five days might be suitable to a student's life, assuming one was prone to ignore classwork and Wiki full time, which I hope seldom happens. So expecting such ultra-rapid clean up by contributors that are also provinding family members would pretty much kill off a lot of slow developing wiki-improvements, as we do have lives outside Wikipedia.
 * Spelling Mistakes was mentioned above, to which I need to add two comments. 1) Correct Spelling is an abstract ideal.  Language drift has altered correct usages a lot in my 50 years, and so too have meanings changed.  Take the term Wicked, use of a phrase like "She's Wicked" refered more to 'being bad, only worse and evil to boot' than today's usage (not to mention the uses of the word Bad these days). One problem with my work on the Russo-Japanese war, is that there are five different languages involved:  Russian, Chinese, Brittish, Japanese, and American.  Then again, one author noted that there were no less than eight different English renderings of a single Russian Admirals name; bad spellings (and typos) in sum, will be corrected. Ususally inside 45 minutes if MY Experience is a reliable measure! Fabartus 00:43, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Hey, just because someone doesn't have perfect English doesn't mean you have to ignore what they wrote. But these articles have to be cleaned up. And other articles have to link to these articles, too, or no one will ever see them ,and that wouldn't be a good thing. Pufferfish101 04:16, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. These articles are impossible. Jayjg (talk) 21:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keeep. Has good info, even if badly written. I wish though that the author at least use basic typographical standards, like putting space after comma, and create an account. Oleg Alexandrov 03:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up. DS1953 22:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are articles like Japanese expansionism and Meiji period which are properly named and contain much of this information, or at least headings under which much of this information should go. I cannot believe that Wikipedia is well served by pages titled "Additiona information over foreing Commerce and Navigation" or "Comments of Japanese Finanzes". Extract the useful information, add it to the relevant articles, create new relevant articles if necessary. But delete articles with incoherent, rambling, misspelled names and contents. Ben-w 22:38, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup, that is the Wiki way. Paul August ☎ 14:41, Jun 17, 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 .

New image project
Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects WikiProject Free images, WikiProject Fair use, WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Engineering Community Manager 17:12, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
