Uh, I was going down General Eisenhower's talk page, and I saw that you were speculating that I was a sockpuppet of GeorgeMoney! Ha! XD In what way am I similar to GeorgeMoney? God, I wish I'd seen this before. This is so much fun. Oh, yeah, sorry to bring this up, I know it happend a while ago, but...y'know. It's very interesting. Sergeant Snopake 15:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry, that was someone else's comment! It was just under yours, and I thought you'd just put it there as an after thought. The actual comment owner had signed their name underneath, but I was just so het up about people thinking I was a sock puppet, I just didn't notice. Bet I look like a freak now, huh? Sorry. Sergeant Snopake 16:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

:D It's okay, kinda think of it as a {{tl|test-self} "You fixed your own mistake" kinda thing. I don't mind, personally, and am glad it happened with me instead of someone who'd take offense and beat you over the head with it! (Some people on here, from what I've seen, might literally beat someone over the head...) Have a wonderful day!

~Kylu (u|t) 01:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not ashamed of you, I forgive you, and you are a good person. I can say this about you. The true struggle is for you to be able to say this about yourself.--'Angel' 00:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Kylu, Thanks for pointing it out. Have not quite understood the issue so I will request your help. Please move the page for me. Can you point me to an understanding of namespace on Wikipedia? AshLin 01:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, will reply on your talkpage! Glad to be of assistance! :D

Thank you for your note, but I just want to ask a quick question. Have you deleted my note on Mr. Kenworthy's talk page, or do I jave to do it? Do I have to do anything at all? ISD 06:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replied on your talk page. I've got it covered, don't worry! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 14:18, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Per your comment on the Copyright Problems page - song lyrics are not covered by fair use, and should not be used on Wikipedia. A line or two is probably OK, but definitely not a whole song. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 21:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support, and the kind things you said about me, both in support, and in reply to other people. Perhaps I was wrong about you, I always had you pegged as an old hand... ;) Jude (talk) 11:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, I should reply to everyone in blinding pink from now on. o.o Thanks for the idea!

I remember the gist of an old saying about being online, back from my BBS days:

"Computers are a great equalizer. Online communities, in general, don't care if you're rich or poor,

black or white, young or old. What matters is what's in your head. Your social skills, technical

skills, and accumulated knowledge." ~unknown

I may very well have been a Wikipedia user previously (I find it fun to keep people in the dark on

my previous experience, makes it so they don't have preconceived notions) but you'll never get an

admission one way or another on it! :D

In return, Jude, I'd like to thank you for putting up with me and my quirks both here and on IRC.

I find our little group of friends to be more endearing every day. n.n

Congratulations, again, on your new Adminship! I'll probably pester you again tonight.

Hehe, no problem! Just glad to help. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 21:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Kylu,

Thank you! Its my daughter's birthday today, and I get a birthday gift(the userbox)! Its beautiful! Nice image too!

Such unexpected help and support reinforce my faith in the open source movement in general and Wikipedia in particular. A new slogan for Wikipedia,

good people to contribute with.

///I am adding your name to our project. No, you are NOT expected to do anything at all in return. You've done quite a lot already. Consider it a recognition of your tacit support. You can however do as much as you wish./// now redundant. Talk of dropping a brick! Sorry :(.

A question. Can I change the image later on to moth from butterfly if I want?

Thanks once again AshLin 03:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think I'm already listed on there, I've still got fifty zillion butterfly families to add headers to. o.o;;

Anywho, if you'd like to change the userbox, just click on the link in {{user WPLepidoptera}} and click "Edit". Everything you could possibly want to change is right there! Just make sure you preview first, or you'll mess up everyone's page that's using it! :D

One thing I'd avoid changing, though, would be the size of the userbox. Some people (uh, like me) have a LOT of userboxes all put together, and when you start changing sizes they get broken apart. My problem, I realize, but it'd be nice to let that one thing stay stable!

If you'd rather not do the editing, just point me to the picture you'd like, tell me what colors you want to use (this is a good link to pick colors, by the way) and any other changes, and I'll do them for you if you want!

Hope you enjoy editing here at Wikipedia! ~Kylu (u|t) 03:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kylu,

With due respect... but why are you & Rlevse reverting my edits? I have in Woodbridge, CT for a long time, and have made good faith effort to improve the page. I have not vandelized it. Are you and Rlevse some kind of super-wikipedians or something? I said 'vandelism' because I thought my orginal edits from May 17th were valid. What is your interest in Woodbridge? Do you have some special knowledge of it? I got your message, and hope you get this. Still new at this, so if you respond, I hope I can find it somehow.

Will reply on your IP talk page (User talk:24.44.45.54) :) ~Kylu (u|t) 04:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kylu,

Thanks for your polite tone & comments (and for not automatically reverting my edit this time.) I hope to get back to you soon with some better explanation of the edits - which I believe are legitimate. I'll consider your advice about username, but I really never anticipated being a frequent contributer, and didn't want to hassle with learning all the ins & outs of wikipedia, though it is one of my favorite sites to visit. (I'm impressed also with your fast responses!)

Thanks again, ell

No problem. I'm still going to encourage you to register, though! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 04:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you softened the pink of your userpage . Are you feeling alright? Your the pinkest user I've met. But seriously, your userpage looks great and your recent gnomish editing [1] is impressive and appreciated. Keep up the good work! :)--Joe Jklin (T C) 16:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm, I've always gotten the, "Wow, that's PINK" reaction to my userpage, which made me think that maybe other people didn't like it very much. I happen to like the style, but it's not really there for me per se. Thanks for saying you like the page!

As far as editing goes, I've noticed there's a lot of "little" maintainance jobs people don't do very much of. It's not as "sexy" as getting an article to FA or anything, but really it needs to be done. I've cleared the ISBN-needed category (easy!) and put a dent into ISSN-needed (maybe took out a third of that category, more to come!) and am doing the misplaced talkpage templates mostly as a change of pace.

I'd like to correct the WikiProject pages that have their custom talk template on the main page (as example)... I figure I could <noinclude> them or put them on a talk page (like mine), {{subst}} them, then copy the code back to the project page, that way the "this is on the wrong page" notice on the talk template is gone and it wouldn't show up in the category.

Catch is, I'll have to save those for last: They've got a prominent "do not edit this" in the section that hosts the talkpage template on the project page, so I'll want to leave a note with that WikiProject and ask them for permission to do so. I'd rather make those changes boldly, since they may have another reason for doing so. If there is, I figure a notice (bold, in red, to make it noticable) in the category page to tell future category-sweepers to not touch those pages would work.

Thank you for noticing, by the way! :D

Hey Adam! Nice ta meetcha. Just so you know, when you leave a note, make sure you sign it with four tildes (~~~~), it'll auto-stamp your signature, date, and time! Handy, huh?

Anyway, it's going pretty well, I'm getting ready to head into work since there's a performance expected of me this afternoon. :D

• sob* No, not subst! Anything but that! Actually, I wonder if noinclude'ing my /about page would do it. ~Kylu (u|t) 07:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed on some user pages boxes saying things like "en-3 -- These users are able to contribute with an advanced level of English." indicating a certain level of English language proficiency. But on the link above, it only gives a list of users who have that level, and not a description of what it means, how one acquires it, or even how to add it to my own user page (or if that is indeed what I should/could be doing).

This being Wikipedia, I'd add the info to the page myself, if I only knew what that info was; however, I don't. Any enlightenment or relevant links I may have overlooked would be appreciated.

Thanks for making me feel welcome! Quaxanta 02:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*Smacks self in the forehead* Actually, yesh, Kim's a he. I think I've got a vitamin deficiency or something. There are a couple Wikipedians who, for some unknown reason, the wrong gender keeps creeping into my head when I see their names. No offense was meant to Kim (to whom I apologize! Please don't kill me, Sir!).

Ahwell. I suck. Anywho, I'm fine with the whole MedCab thing. I've been wanting to try my hand at mediation for a while, actually, though I think I may've gotten off to a bit of a rocky start on this first case. I suppose, when I manage to improve my mediation technique, a start like that just makes it look like I've improved that much more, right? :D

I'll be honest, my usual technique for problem solving usually involves more authority. Think: "Hello! Please be nice to the other users, or else I'll have to remove you, and that would make me unhappy. :(" Offline, I typically try to distance myself from disputes, not try to mediate them, hence my interest here. (That and Keitei and Kim seemed to suggest that MedCab needed some help possibly.)

Interestingly, I think this style of mediation may very well work in some cases where others (MedCom and ArbCom) might not, simply because of the lack of binding authority. Since it's apparently the last step before authority-bearing measures are produced, this actually IMHO makes MedCab rather important: It's the last chance for a dispute to be resolved before a resolution is brought to those concerned.

I see you've set up your homepage to hide sections by default, but allowing them to be viewed. I'd like to know how to do that, seeing as my own page is a bit unruly - well I did get carried away with userboxes! :-) Autarch 19:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, check the code in User:Kylu/main: The <div> tags are the trick. Quite honestly, I blatantly stole that trick from User:Master of Puppets's userpage. While I _was_ doing something similar beforehand, it was based on {{hidden}} and it looked...well...ugly. The <div> method is much much prettier, imho! BTW, if you want to see how the page is laid out, check out my userpage map first. Lets you know where all the funky stuff is. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I want to apologize for the minor bug I created when fixing the [Show]/[Hide] size bug, as I'd forgotten that changing font sizes in the div class tags affected the text that followed. By forcing the blocks containing the [Show]/[Hide] links to have a font size of 75%, I inadvertantly forced the content text that followed to be 75% its standard size. (An example of the issue in action can be seen here, by expanding the "About Kylu" section. I had noticed that the infobox with Wikipe-tan became obscured by the next frame heading due to the decreased font size of the text in the sections.) Anyways, I went back and added forced font sizes for the content to be 133% (75% * 133% = 100%). Sorry for the inconvenience! --InvaderJim42 01:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kylu/sig 22:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for stepping in to arbitrate the dispute on the conservatism page. You have closed the case, but I am just back from my 24 hour block, so this is my first chance to speak to you about the subject.

You wrote, "Discussion attempted to take place on the article talk page but failed, due to misunderstanding of where the conversation was to take place." I'm not sure I understand. The conversation took place on Talk: Conservatism and has gone on now for more than a month now. I have edited more than 100 articles on Wikipedia, and have never had a problem like this one before. ER MD, whose blanking I reverted, has blanked contributions to the Conservatism page more than fifty times in the past month, and refuses to discuss or to compromise. If he does not agree with it, he blanks it. For example, he has blanked quotations from Plato, from Livy, from Benjamin Disraeli, and from Napoleon, all without giving any reason other than POV and OR.

I really think we need a third party to read the disputed "Criticism of Conservatism" section and express an opinion as to whether or not it meets Wikipedia standards. Rick Norwood 06:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Replied to on Mr. Norwood's talkpage) Case has been re-opened and annotated to note that there is also a Request for comment currently open regarding the debate. While I am pleased to serve as mediator, it would be even nicer if the dispute can be solved without needing mediation. ~Kylu (u|t) 22:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the cookie! It was delicious. --Grace 06:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's because they're hand-made with ♥ LOVE ♥. And cookie dough. *nods* ~Kylu (u|t) 06:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(On this day, a new section on the talk page was born..born of the ash and of the dust. Because the conversation at hand strayed so far from the original topic, that a new section was in dire need. And thus, it was so, and it was created, this new section was.)

Hmmmm, this cookie, it is of fine origin. No? If so, then yes. And in return, I give you this...

You now totally have soap. This soap is slippery, and thus good.

In fact, this cookie is of such goodnessiness, that I will put it in a on my userpage. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{Prophesize) 18:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't do drugs. But anyways, I've now fallen in love with you. Your niceness is indeed overwhelming (as well as the pinkitudy factor of your userpage), and I will now be a zealous fan of yours.

Due to my lack of ability to write Wikipedia articles, I mainly just do behind-the-scenes work. Mediation, welcoming, funness, helping, and other such goodlies. If you need anything related to that, then you will most certainly be able to contact me about it.

I hope my soap will aid you in your heroine quest. (P.S., I don't watch anime too much, although sometimes I will watch those few that have some amazing theme that I find interesting.) -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{Prophesize) 22:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's one of the most flattering (and frightening!) things I've ever read. I certainly do hope it's platonic love, though, as I may be removing my "user single" userboxes soon. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 04:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Stopped indenting, since it looks icky.) If you have two "single" user boxes, and one was removed, that would mean that you are both single and in a relationship. But no matter, telescopes look at the stars, just as mirrors are portals to the parralel worlds. I have, in my stuperous rage and laughterous revelry, evoked a mere interest in your doings, not nessicarily a strong passion as the word "love" is often correlated as... using coral. Ah, but I am being terse, and should most definetely stop this rambling. Due to this shortness in my words, and of the incessant spewing forth of entirely too many syllables, I will move to an entirely different subject (as indicated by this paragraph break.)

I'm trying very hard to be useful, but I can't seem to find anything that makes a unique contributor. Sure, I can scan over vandalism, and keep a cool head in intense debates of intense tomfoolery, but I really don't feel that I've found my "niche".

You have no idea how hard it is for me to find a niche somewhere. I've done

RC Patrol... I drag around in Wikipedia maintenance a bit, there's always things like ISSN-needed and ISBN-needed, I'm in the Mediation Cabal, and am rather active on chat, I do various anti-vandalism things, do article spellchecking and have lately taken up some light stub sorting

in case all that fails to amuse me. I have yet to find my niche, and so far seem terribly interested in the "backroom" of Wikipedia, trying to discover how the place all works.

Of course, when you do that, you end up being a "volunteer" to take on more work, though they have yet to assign me anything that's too much to handle really.

I imagine one of these days I'll poke too far in and they'll try to do something silly, like give me real responsibility or something, but until that dark day, I'm just really flitting about doing random odd jobs. I suppose, as long as it needs doing, it doesn't really matter who does it, right?

I'll leave the nifty "opentasks" template on your talkpage to give you things to do if you get bored, but... ultimately, I think my "niche" has become "all of Wikipedia" really. C'est la vie.

~Kylu (u|t) 01:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mmmmm, that was a delicious bit of text, as it summed exactly what I'm doing. I really can't "add" anything huge to Wikipedia. so all I do is move things, reword things, and talk about things. So I'll probably be doing the exact same thing you do. :D. The only thing I'm really good at is music... so maybe I could record "examples" of different music-related stuff for articles. Eh, otherwise I'll just stick to conflict resolution. It's basket-loads of fun.

I'd be willing to bet that the differences are far more cultural than they are linguistic. There are going to be back-room structures that are simply different from one wiki to another, depending on the host culture. Interestingly enough, this gives you an opportunity to study other cultures through the social structures they develop to manage projects like these!

What is Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-19 Tent City and Tent City 4(King County, Washington) about? jbolden1517^Talk 02:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I finished creating the page that user

Talk:Tent City 4 (King County, Washington)

simply as an unrelated act of kindness. :)

From what I can tell, Cyclopedic beleives that actions by

WP:NPOV

.

I think the first thing any accepting mediator will need to do is to talk to the parties in question and determine the actual specifics of the case. User:Bobblehead has apparently already posted to the talkpage of both users and is apparently acting as a sort of mediator already.

You may want to ask Bobblehead if they'd like to use our MedCab case page to host a discussion between all involved and to simply tell us when the case may be archived. Consider it proof that we're not stick-in-the-muds. :D

Of course, I'd prefer that they resolve as early as possible, preferably without requiring mediation. Makes our lives more boring, but makes theirs more pleasant!

Thanks for your help with mediation.

About Pschemp: I just want to say that according to

which were being reverted) were being discussed. I don't think calling what was happening an "edit war" is fair to either side of the debate.

Sadly, I it looks to me as if the anti-Islamists might not participate in mediation. They are in a tough spot because their sources don't support the subjective descriptions of states of mind (e.g. Muhammad "felt" so-and-so...) and they certainly don't support the factual inaccuracies in their version (e.g. that the Constitution of Medina was "promulgated" instead of voluntarily signed on to.) But so far they have the support of two admins, including an arbitrator, who both happen to be a member of the Judiaism WikiProject. However, I will be giving mediation plenty of time and effort -- I have already posed more than a dozen mediation questions with a convienient grid for the anti-Islamists to answer in. It's been almost a day now and none of them have touched it.

Anyway, I just want you to know that "edit war" is not what was going on on those pages. This is a bias dispute with far-flung accusations of racisim coming from the currently dominant side, and probably racial motivations on both sides (not me, though, I'm an agnostic from a WASP background who has never edited anything about Jews or Muslims ever before.) Publicola 04:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, when it says "without being discussed" it does refer to the discussions taking place between opposite sides of the debate, as well as some sort of consensus being reached in regards to the content. If, for instance, Pschemp and I were to write an article, then you changed it, we changed it back, etc., however Pschemp and I agreed and you did not, it would still be considered edit warring. The actual verbiage of the term does not matter, it's the spirit that I'm worried about. (That's the spirit behind

Ignore All Rules

by the way.) Don't let someone rules-lawyer you into a corner, Publicola, just try to do what's right and obeys the spirit of the rules. :)

I've reviewed the case (personally) and feel that the admins in question were in the right to lock the articles. Once your mediation is completed and both sides of the debate are in agreement, then please contact your mediator and they can inform the admin in question so the article may be unprotected and productive work can continue. Thanks!

The English wording would be just fine. We haven't reached a conclusion yet on the correct Sinhala word for "Portal" (to be used in the wikipedia). So I've informed the others that we'll use the English word for now; and that makes perfect since most of the interface related things are not yet translated in to Sinhala anyway.

Oh, so I won't have to worry about the RfA after all? (I figure, once they find out it was me...) Just kidding, CakeProphet! ~Kylu (u|t) 01:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

mmmmmmm, if you put the font tag in the visual part of the link like so:

<b><i>[[User:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">~Kylu</font>]] <font color="#FF00FF">([[User  
 talk:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">t</font>]])</font></i></b>

Then the HTML will override the default link color, thus producing: ~Kylu (t)

or, as my own suggestion, you could put contribs, a nowiki'ed pipe (to prevent interference with wiki syntax involving your sig), and a nifty superscript tag, thus producing: ~Kylu ^{(t |c)}

<b><i>[[User:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">~Kylu</font>]] <sup><font color="#FF00FF">([[User
 talk:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">t</font>]] <nowiki>|</nowiki>  
 [[Special:Contributions/Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">c</font>]])</font></sup></i></b>

(Whew, that took some triky use of nowiki to recreate in code form :P)

Of course, that's just what I would do... not to mention it gives you quite a ginormous signature code, much like mine... and it's looking less and less like a good suggestion :D sooo... -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{(Prophesize|Witchcraft)} 02:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No inconvenience, it's just that some new mediators aren't familiar with mediating within constraints. For instance, a mediator between the US and Canada can't simply give Canada some land in India that neither side has claim to, nor can we as mediators demand that an admin reverse an administrative action as part of mediation. We're just here to help the two sides of the dispute come to terms with eachother and try to compromise a way to a solution. Sounds textbook, doesn't it? ~Kylu (u|t) 01:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kylu, When clicking on you're block log you made a mistake. When you created a link you put you're name after User:. Sadly, putting it after User: doesn't work. For you're real block log here is the [link.]

RainbowSprinkles Talk [Contributions] [Email me] 19:11, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which location is it that we're talking about? The block log at the top of this page is a list of blocks that I've performed (and therefore should be blank, since that's the point). The link you provide is correct, however, to see my sole block and unblock (If you're interested, the reason I was blocked is due to the fact that, during vandalcorrection, I managed somehow to revert to a vandalized version of a page. Whoops. CURPS auto-blocked me, and Shanel unblocked me since it was an obvious mistake. I use a couple scripts that are designed to prevent this from happening, so I'm not sure why it is this happens on occasion, especially when I make sure I'm reverting to the correct version... go figure.)

By the way, while we're doing corrections, you might want to try this:

Hi, Kylu ... thanks for the stub sort on Arthur K. Shapiro. I wish I knew how to find stub sorting categories. I don't think listing him as a psychologist works, though ... is there a stub just for general physicians? That might work better. He definitely wasn't a psychologist, rather a practicing physician, so even if there's not a psychiatrist category, physician might be better. Thanks ! Sandy 12:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm scanning through the conservatism case so I can help out on it. Anything you might want to mention to me? -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 00:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've refactored this a bit. It doesn't really belong with "Re: Congrats!" Hope you don't mind.

Well, okay. Firstly, Cowman's already helping out, so no trampling over eachother, though I personally like seeing group assistance like this. The major issue seems to be the inclusion of a "Criticism of Conservatism" section on the page.

WP:NPOV

, where Rick feels that all points of view should be expressed in order to show NPOV, whereas Michael seems to think the exact opposite: that criticism sections are inherently POV and should not be allowed in articles at all. I proposed moving the criticism into a seperate article (as did Cowman109), and Michael dislikes this suggestion, stating that it would still not be NPOV and therefore a policy violation.

Quite honestly, I'm stumped. Both sides seem to be unwilling to compromise and find middle ground, and I fear that the case might end up in Arbitration, where as you know neither party will likely end up being happy with the outcome. We need to find a solution that actually solves the issue and doesn't simply state "party such-and-such will not edit said article" or rely on enforcement, otherwise we're simply stalling the issue and not actually mediating things.

Offline, I've been thinking about it a bit and trying to come up with different methods of compromise that will manage to sate both parties while still being true to both the word and principles of Wikipedia policies. I'm tempted to

WP:IAR

and tell them to make the criticism article seperately and just hope that it evolves into an article about criticism of convervatism, but it feels a bit much a bit too soon.

So, I've asked for help from the community on the talkpage for conservatism and on the RfC hoping that Wikipedians will come to my rescue with some genius stroke that will solve this issue. Basically, I'm trusting in the idea of Nemo Solis Sapit (L., "None is wise alone"), trusting that the community will show wisdom where I alone can't find it. ~Kylu (u|t) 01:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ewwww, criss-crossing NPOV interpretations are always a big sticky messy... since it's such a huge policy, both parties feel the need to vigorously uphold it. hmmmm, obviously attempting to persuade them won't do any good. ER... I'm trying to think of a way we could change the article by being bold, and then talking about it, basically applying The

BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, but it doesn't seem to apply to this situation too well. One wants it included, and one wants it deleted, so changing the article a little won't do a bit of good... hmmm... we might just have to get a little dirty if we want to fix this... something - dare I say - manipulative? (I hope no one is reading this conversaion....) Might be best to talk about it over IRC, where *ahem* no one is logging our conversation. --The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 03:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply

*laugh* We might even want to remove that statement altogether. You totally have my permission. :-) --The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 03:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I'll be honest with ya, I'm absolutely new at this mediation thing and I don't know all the tricks of the trade, but for some reason I don't think "being manipulative" is one of them. As far as removing the statement, I'd have to note that it'd stay in my page history and since I'm pretty familiar with Wikipedia:Oversight (in fact, I wrote it) I'm kinda sure that it's not covered under acceptable use. :)

Anywho, for the moment, I'll take the naive approach of being honest with the parties I'm trying to assist. I know, it's off the wall and unexpected, but hey, that's just like me to be off the wall and unexpected, right? :D ~Kylu (u|t) 06:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ack! o.o;; ~Kylu (u|t) 23:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the welcome message! You said to ask you if I had any questions, so here goes.

• I recently found that my school has an entry in Wikipedia. The article is short, with a decent intro, but the specific details are just kind of random, not very broad or informative. My question is this: can I expand the page (as an "expert"), with the idea that some data is better than no data-- or should I leave it, until someone who carries around verifiable sources (newspaper articles, maybe?) comes along?
• Wikipedia has entries on several webcomics, as well as the concept itself, but not one of my personal favorites. As I understand it, Wikipedia is not just a general-purpose encyclopedia, but also a collection of more specialized encyclopedias (hence the number of detailed articles on individual species of plants, computer terminology, philosophy, etc.) On the other hand, I've heard complaints from people who say WP is becoming cluttered with trivia, and there are rules (guidelines?) about notability. So, should I go ahead and write the page (I consider it significant-- it's about the second webcomic I ever heard of), or leave off, because it's not notable and would just get deleted anyway? --Zatchmort 21:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1. There's no problem with your expanding the page on your school and in fact we welcome you to do so! So, saying that, there's the catches. When you go to edit an article, it says (right below the edit box, actually) Content must not violate any copyright and must be based on verifiable sources.

   There's important stuff here: Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability are directly named. If I put "The house at 10292 on my block is owned by a family of five and the head of household is a Politician", it may well be truth, but if it's not verifiable, reliable source then the information needn't be included. Ideas though: Does your school paper have a website? How about the PTA or School Board? I bet there are more citable sources than you think there are. :)

2. As far as your webcomic goes, I have a funny way of determining notability on something "Iffy" like that. First, google the thing and see if there are a lot of mentions on sites other than the comic. Typically at around 500 hits, I start thinking the content is 'pedia-worthy. That's like asking how you vote on an AfD though, really. Check out Wikipedia:Notability (web). If you absolutely can't decide... well, y'know, write the article anyway. Do a good job. If it gets deleted for being non-notable, then your question is answered! :D Seriously though, if it gets deleted for "fails to establish notability" then that's where you really want to focus. Determine if and why the webcomic is notable. Attempt to explain this in the article. Compare to other similar articles.
3. Lastly, if the community decides that your contribution doesn't live up to its standards, make sure you don't take it personally. If you have the opportunity, make the article content better. If it's a notability issue and about to be speedy-deleted, put {{
   AfD
   .

I really hope that helped you a bit. I do mean it, though... if you have questions, just ask me. I love to help! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 21:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
