Classic book
Fetchcomms -
Would like any feedback/hints/tips for the Classic book article I resurrected from its previous incarnation as a stub of sorts.
And congratulations on your nomination.
Thanks!Shearonink (talk) 03:58, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- Very, very nice job! A few things: make sure that all the references are filled in--you still have a few plain links without author/date/publisher/title/etc. information. Also, I would change the "Quotes" section into a paragraph. Something like
The definition of a classic book varies among several prominent literary figures. American poet Ezra Sound said, "A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rule, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness." ....
- You get the idea--just make it into prose, not a list of quotes (and remove the bold for that section). Lastly, you might want to use {{ 13:40, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your suggestions. Have done your suggested tweaks, would appreciate your taking another look when you get the chance. Am hoping the article might now be worthy of a slightly higher 'class'-ratings on the two WikiProjects (Books and HIstory). And I'm going to go ahead and probably ask a pretty dumb question here...I'm having a hard time figuring out what the {{cite book}} actually means regarding the book sources and (c) Person?... Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 05:06, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Cite book is like cite web--you plug in the information for the source and it generates the reference. So instead of writing out the whole book ref, you would do {{cite book|last=Smith|first=John|title=The title|year=2008|publisher=Publishers, Inc.|isbn=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|pages=24}}. —fetch·comms 17:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
I *think* I've now fixed all the references. Thought you'd like to know that the quotes are completely gone. An ISP editor (58.169.10.1) came by and deleted the two I had left at the end of the article....kinda funny, they knew it didn't fit the tone of Wikipedia and yet they're not a registered-user... Nothing lost though...I had already integrated the Ezra Pound quote into the article (per your suggestion) and the Mark Twain quote had been in the article from the beginning. I've posted a request for Feedback (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback/2010_July_7) but no hits there yet. Shearonink (talk) 12:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Questions concerning resubmission to articles for Creation
Hi, Back in May, I submitted a Chicanery (album) page to Articles for Creation. The page contained a fair use album cover image entitled “Low_Res_Cropped_Chicanery_Cover_Color.jpg”. The album page submission was rejected due to there not having been a page for the band at the time, and the file became orphaned and was deleted.
Since then, I have completed the band page, Chicanery, and that page is now live. Could you possibly retrieve the above album cover image, or should I upload the image all over again when I resubmit the album page to Articles for Creation? Also, should I resubmit the album page to Articles for Creation as if it were an entirely new submission at this point? Doc2234 (talk) 19:08, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- I can restore the image, but the album page needs to go live first, before we can use copyrighted images. You can also reupload it, it doesn't really matter (but the article still needs to be created first). And, you can just paste in all your updated album submission into the original page and add
{{subst:AFC submission/submit}}
to the top of it, or you can just make a whole new submission. Again, doesn't really matter. Cheers, —fetch·comms 01:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- I will resubmit the album page to Articles for Creation, today.
- You also flagged the three images that I used for the Chicanery band page as not having adequate documentation to support the license. I do have emails that provide permission from the owners, and I will forward those to the address you gave me, today also. I do have a security issue for one of the sets of email. Could we go offline with that issue prior to my sending in the full email record that I have? I will try to email you. Doc2234 (talk) 12:54, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Your last question in Connormah's RFA
Generally, I think candidates are asked too many questions but your last one there asking the candidate to "oppose himself" is clever. A few editors have asked me to go for the mop. So far I have declined because I can think of some very strong opposes for myself and I've yet come up with a good rebuttal to any of them.
Also, it reminds me of an idea I once had about asking RFA candidates to "write for the enemy". Example, asking an "ultra deletionist" to make a "keep" argument for a hypothetical AFD on something "crufty" like a minor fictional character or someone who is against the use of non-free images to make a "keep" arguments for a screenshot from a movie. Doing so would show if the candidate understands the thoughts and motivations of those with views he opposes and is still able to assume good faith. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:27, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, your idea is probably better than what I did simply because it does what you noted at the end--understanding different viewpoints while still AGFing. Would it be OK if I used that question in the future (I sort of stole the oppose yourself one from an anonymous user)? —fetch·comms 02:31, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- No problem, but keep the "oppose yourself" one. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey Fetchcomms,
First, thanks for the {{
- OK, no problem. I'm still trying to learn how the coding works and all, and Tim Song recommended the lcase method. In any case, are things like "homo" or "fag" covered in other filters that you know of, or should that be added to this one too? —fetch·comms21:22, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm thats weired. Shirik recomended the regex method. In any case, yes, fag and homo are covered in other filters (although off the top of my head I couldnt tell you which). The reasoning behind 339 is that the words "gay" and "homosexuall" are appropriate, when the subject is actually gay. Fag and homo, however, are rarely appropriate. Tim1357 talk 23:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
But there is something else: I was wondering if you would help me with a bot project I was working on. I need an admin because it involves downloading the wikitext of deleted articles, which I of course cannot do. Tim1357 talk 00:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, if you tell me what needs to be done. —fetch·comms 00:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Well here is what I was thinking of doing: I want to have a bot patroll new pages and tag those that are blatantly vandalism, or attack pages. I was planning on using the AI. One "teaches" the engine by feeding it text, allong with a tag (good/bad for example). After a few rounds of this, the engine is suprisingly good. I have already made a list of pages deleted as G3, so all you would have to do is run a script to download their wikitext. Of course, that would mean allowing the script to log in as you. You can review the code before running it, or ask annother to look it over for you, to be sure the script wont do anything malicious. If you are at all uncomfortable with this, It will be no insult to me if you decline. Cheers, Tim1357 talk00:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deleted subjects that are notable
Hi Fetchcomms. I've come across a contrubtion history that includes the nomination of numerous notable article subjects for deletion. Many of the articles themselves were in poor shape (many were created years ago when standards were different) so they got speedied, but many of the subjects are notable or can be merged. How do I go about getting them restored so they can be fixed properly? There seems to be resistance to using DRV, even though the article subjects shouldn't have been speedily deleted in the first place.
Also, I can't see the article histories without having them restored. I'm not out to ruffle feathers, but I hate to see the work of others lost or destroyed by a series of mistakes that can be easily rectified. It's troubling to me that I'm being attacked for trying to fix things that are broken and that the focus for many isn't on what's best for the encyclopedia, but if there's a more discrete way to go about the process I'm certainly open to it. I suppose userfication is one route, but then the workload is totally on me and this is supposed to be a collaborative enterprise. Is there some other way to go about getting them properly worked up, merged etc? Perhaps involving the article rescue squadron? Freakshownerd (talk) 16:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

IPBE follow-upJust to let you know that the Opera Mini range block has been resolved and Brandon removed the IPBE for me. I really appreciated that you helped me with this as I use my mobile phone quite a good deal to edit. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that it is not an issue anymore, and that the flag was removed since I don't need it anymore. Thanks, GregJackP Boomer! 16:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC) Deletion of Caesary wikiYou deleted the Caesary wiki seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesary. Why did you accuse it of being "promotional"? Lots of people were using that page as a reference. Caesary is a newly launched MMORTS game with press releases already posted on the web. MPOGD.com had a press released on Caesary when it first launched. It's absurd to think that a page used for reference would be deleted because it's being accused of "promoting" a product.

He's/she's backPlease see the message I have posted here and review the links in it. We really need to take care of this issue once and for all. Centpacrr (talk) 19:43, 20 July 2010 (UTC) Image clearly uploaded by the webmasterYou recently tagged the following image for deletion(File:CCVFD1251A.JPG now named File:Chaires-Capitola VFD - Air, Power & Light Trailer.jpg). If you look carefully at the name on the summary, the article that it's attached to, and all similar images, you'd realize that the this was submitted by the editor himself or herself, specifically a member of the Chaires-Capitola Volunteer Fire Department. ----DanTD (talk) 02:52, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Non free filesHi Fetchcomms, I had a question about this file which is from commons and being used on Macintosh startup#Sad Mac. It's not free (a screenshot of Google Chrome) so I'm planning to tag it for speedy deletion on commons. Is there a way to port it over here? I think it's useful, and can fix up the fair use rationale. Thanks, Airplaneman ✈ 23:54, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
WikiCup 2010 July newsletterWe are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards. Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Barnstar

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. It was not lacking any information. It was a very low resolution fair use image. The source was present. --Mbz1 (talk) 22:05, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
