[edit] VFD Reversion

Howdy. I'm glad you reverted that change on the main VFD page, but I think you blamed the wrong user for it. Compare 10qwerty's edit and Jesse's Girl's edit. Unless something goofy happened with the page history, you correctly reverted Jesse's Girl's edit, but 10qwerty is an innocent bystander. Just thought you'd like to know. Cheers, androidtalk 22:18, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My proposal

Hi, first I want to thank you for your comments on my talk page. About deleting or moving the proposal — right now the proposal is formatted to appear at the Wikipedia think-tank. I think this is where it belongs. Some proposals there date to 2003, so there is no time limit. If you think there is a better way to publicise the announcement I have no objection. But I think the proposal and the accompanying discussions should still be together and linked to the Think Tank.

As to why I mentioned so many names. My main reason was that I wanted to make clear that I was not creating hypothetical straw-men arguments just to criticize them; that I was responding to real arguments actually made by Wikipedians.

As to the passage you call attention to — well, I was responding to real objections. You raise a different objection which I also address in another section (on popularity as an argument for NPOV). Of course, you may still disagree with my argument.

I understand why you think it might have been better to have mentioned no names. If the explanation I gave above (to show that my arguments against a position are against positions that people have actually taken) does not satisfy you, let me explain that when the topic first came up on the Talk: Jesus Page (I didn't start it; JimWay changed dates to BCE/CE, someone reverted, I reverted back to Jim's changes and gave an explanation; all this is now archived) it quickly turned into a very viturpritive argument. If you think that the acrimoneous arguments and personal attacks against me are a result of how I wrote the proposal, I assure you that you are wrong; the people who have written long and at times nasty comments are people who first expressed their hostility to the idea of BCE/CE and me personally on the Jesus talk page. I have no doubt that no matter how I wrote the proposal, they would have responded in exactly the same way.

I know you are making a second point, that perhaps how I wrote turned off otherwise neutral people. If that is so all I can do is regret it. I honestly think nothing I could do now would make a difference as some people have already decided I am a stupid troll.

However, if you pesonally believe this is a discussion we ought to be having, well, I urge you to come up with your own proposal, you own wording, and your own arguments. I think that if there is to be an honest discussion about NPOV and dating, someone else has to try at this point, and will hopefully be more effective. Slrubenstein | Talk 14:42, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] De La Salle High School

After I moved this page to De La Salle High School (Concord, California) I edited the new redirect page to make it a disambiguation page, but got an edit conflict notice. Since common sense would have led you to realize that's what I was going to do, would you please explain why you object to it? Michael Hardy 19:40, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Googletest

Please stop adding google test templates to VFD entries. It strongly reduces legibility, and is often considered a form of vandalism to mess with VFD layout. Please see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Policy consensus/Regarding tally boxes and Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Policy consensus/Deletion criterion boxes. Yours, Radiant_>|< 16:10, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • No problem! Sorry if that earlier message was overly harsh, it's just that we've been through something similar a couple months before and I wanted to keep it from getting out of hand. Yours, Radiant_>|< 21:29, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Integrated Letters Sketch on Wikisource

I've done vector versions, some interesting colour schemes, see what you think. [1] -- user:zanimum

[edit] Rollback and godmode-light

Hiya, Ambush Commander, I noticed you use the godmode-light script. As you use an emulation of the rollback feature I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on a proposal I have which would grant the rollback feature to those who request it, similar to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, except with a lower threshold. The proposal is at Wikipedia:Requests for rollback; your comments are welcomed at Wikipedia talk:Requests for rollback. Thanks! Talrias (t | e | c) 17:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Defending article quality

Your feedback was greatly helpful, and I incorporated it into the latest version of Wikipedia:Defending article quality. Take a look if you have time. Thanks! Andre (talk) 04:52, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Second tagline poll - please follow this link

(This is already announced on Pump and Rfc but I'm adding it here because you contributed to the originating pump discussion.) Thanks! -- Sitearm | Talk 05:10, 2005 August 16 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the feedback on my talk page. That page you pointed me to was really helpful. Hopefully as I get used to Wikipedia I'll make fewer mistakes! --Banana04131 17:35, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Media bias

Thanks for the edits. The article is slowly improving, but still needs a lot of work before it reaches that standard necessary for such a big topic. It was in a pretty bad state because of a lot of partisan bickering based on the Conservative/Liberal divide in the US. Hopefully when i've got time i'll try and work the global prespective a little. Thanks illWill 19:37, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

No problem. Glad to be of help. :D — Ambush Commander(Talk) 19:41, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Random Numbers

Thanks for the code - I'll take a look. Birthday paradox shouldn't be significant given that I've hardly visited 0.001 of the pages. But maybe I've just remembered one duplicate page and am imagining the others - wasn't particularly looking out for this before. Dlyons493 20:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Time Cube

Dear AC,

Though I respect your desire to improve the Time Cube article, I feel like you are stirring up trouble by asking for the discussion to continue. I realize that the previous discussions are scattered, and it is hard to read them all, but I must assure you that all of these points have been discussed before. The discussion broke down when the anonymous user we refer to as Time Cube Guy refused to make any logical arguments without refering to Time Cube. If we restart the discussion, I can promise you that it will continue down the same chaotic path it has been going for almost two years.

In answer to the questions you posed on Time Cube's talk page, I first want to cite the following passage from the NPOV article:

If a viewpoint is held by an extremely small (or vastly limited) minority, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia (except perhaps in some ancillary article) regardless of whether it's true or not; and regardless of whether you can prove it or not (see Wikipedia:Flat earth problem).

Time Cube isn't well known because it's a theory. Time Cube is well known because people like to make fun of Gene Ray. I refer you to the lecture Gene gave at MIT, where he was ridiculed by students for more than an hour. So are we really supposed to believe that anyone else actually believes the gibberish on his site? Of course not; the people who are trying to interpret it on Wikipedia are trolls, trying to make us look stupid. The more we debate this, the more enjoyment they get from watching us trying argue about a bogus theory. The fact of the matter is this: all evidence points to the fact that only one person in the world actually understands what Gene Ray is talking about, and that is Gene himself. That means that his theory deserves no place on this site, and NPOV does not apply. Further, Time Cube Guy's edits have mostly been to change the wording slightly in the article with a ridiculous interpretation of NPOV. For example, he keeps trying to change "most people think it's a crock of bull" to "there are those who disagree with it."

Restart the discussion if it makes you feel better, but I warn you that a year and a half of futile bickering, a RfC, and a RfAr, probably imply that the discussion won't go anywhere. —Sean κ. + 17:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Snail-eating caterpillar

Aloha. I came across your redirect from Snail eating caterpillar to Hyposmocoma molluscivora and I was wondering why this was done. Since this is apparently the only species that eats snails, it seems that the redirect should be the other way, from binomial to common name. Please correct me if I'm wrong. --Viriditas | Talk 02:08, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree with your assessment. The only consensus on a common name that I could find is Hawaiian caterpillar. Otherwise it's referred to as Meat-eating caterpillar, Snail-eating caterpillar, and Snail-capturing caterpillar. I'm leaning towards Hawaiian caterpillar and listing the species on that page. What do you think? --Viriditas | Talk 00:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Please read your memos on Freenode regarding the wiki account - thx :)

[edit] toolserver

hi. you asked for an account on m:Toolserver. however, we are not certain that your proposal, which seems to be a development project not requiring access to the database, agrees with the account policy. if you are still interested, could you elaborate a little more on what you intend to do? thanks, kate.

[edit] WP:MIND

Hello. Round four of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Thursday, December 1. This round will be drastically different from round three; part one will consist of a creative project, and part two will be developed from there. The full details will be released when the round opens. Time and speed should not be major factors in this round; thus, there is no exact opening time for the round as speed will not factor into the scoring. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:04, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Please add Wikipedia:Mind Benders/to do to your watchlist to receive further announcements; the NotificationBot is currently down and all notifications will be placed on that page. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Note: This message has been sent by Flcelloguy. If you do not wish to receive further messages regarding WP:MIND, please contact Flcelloguy. Special thanks to Fetofs for helping distribute this message.

[edit] Wikipedia's Status - 25% of all page loads fail

I noticed that someone under your name commented "Where do I indicate "25% of all page loads fail"?" That, I suppose, would be one of the "other symptoms". Do you think it's necessary? By the way, what do you think of the script? — Ambush Commander(Talk) 23:48, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

It seems to me that something along the lines of "some page loads may fail" would be useful. Right now, it's possible to indicate that editing the encyclopedia may fail, but not to indicate that simply reading pages may sometimes fail. Also, a symptom of "images not loading" would be useful in the event that the problems with the image server return. --Carnildo 08:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WP Status -- second speeds

Hmmm... I removed the seconds from the speeds because I thought no one actually tried loading Wikipedia and then started counting. Anyway, the old counts were really poorly metered (I mean, 5 seconds to me is slow, not borderline fast). (copied from [2])

Would you be interested in help determining good second counts for each of the speeds? — Ambush Commander(Talk) 00:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Sure...I'm not quite sure what this helping would entail, but since I use the status system a lot, i would definately like to help. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 00:01, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Probably just making a list. Take a bunch of speed adjectives and try to quantify them. I'll make one too, and then we can compare. The more input the better. — Ambush Commander(Talk) 00:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Okay, sounds good...perhaps later though. Maybe Saturday? — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 00:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Whenever it's convenient for you. ;-) I've got a bit of work to do myself, so you might be the only one with the list come Saturday. — Ambush Commander(Talk) 00:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia status page

Very nice! - couple of requests to make it easier to follow, could the time stamps be set to UTC, and the date stamps to a more logical ordering (large-to-small YYYY-MM-DD or small-to-large DD-MM-YYYY), please? - thanks, MPF 12:34, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, the logical date format can probably done easily, but I'll have to run some conversion script to convert the timestamps and then allow people to select their preferred time. I forgot about the internationalization element though. Thanks for the tip. — Ambush Commander(Talk) 21:26, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Super, thanks! - MPF 23:31, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thanks for catching and reverting the vandalism to my user page. -- JLaTondre 03:17, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:External peer review

Great idea to link to the Wikipedia:External peer review from article talk pages (such as Talk:Quark). Do you think we should do it for all the ones in the list (perhaps creating a template to make the process easier) or just the ones that showed there to be no errors? violet/riga (t) 22:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, I think a template would be in order, along the lines of {{externalpeer|Link to peer review page|Name of source that peer reviewed it|Description of their results}}. To be onest, it was totally spontaneous and inconsistent (I didn't bother adding it to any of the other pages. Glad to see you liked my idea. — Ambush Commander(Talk) 22:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Red Eye

As I told the guy that reverted it, it seemed to me that the guy in Episode One went a little nuts after taking the stuff. (the following posted by User:Veemonkamiya: see [3])

[edit] GHava

Did you delete the following line on purpose, or did it get lost in the merging?

    • Note that I could create an article about the company I work for and insert incoming links from some half-dozen existing articles. That still wouldn't make my company encyclopedic.--SarekOfVulcan 23:07, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks.--SarekOfVulcan 23:21, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the help on the GHava page. I understand the adage to be bold, but I didn't want to appear biased or vindictive. You handled it well. | Klaw ¡digame! 23:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] user deleting others votes and comments=

Please help

User:Keithlaw is deleting other users votes as well as my comments from the AFD discussion about GH avisualagency. he is also accusing me of using sock puppets and i am not. There has to be a way to prove all of this. please help.

please see the history link below for one example of this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GH_avisualagency™&diff=31391556&oldid=31391419

Lerner 22:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Ambush Commander, let me know if I can answer any questions for you. I can say that I haven't deleted any legitimate votes. The vote that was deleted in the link above appeared to be the second vote from the same anonymous user, which I deleted when restoring my links to that user's vandalism of my user and talk pages. Again, let me know if I can help. | Klaw ¡digame! 22:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Please note:

208.27.111.121 is the same user as Mrethan.

NOT 207.237.118.48, as KLAW claims it is.

compare

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GH_avisualagency™&diff=31655489&oldid=31655443

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GH_avisualagency™&diff=31391556&oldid=31391419

and you will see that they are the same user who signed in later as Mrethan. KLAW clearly vandalised that vote and deleted it, forcing the user to have to post it again.Lerner 23:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks again

When you have time, any specific feedback you can offer me on my talk page would be greatly appreciated. | Klaw ¡digame! 22:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You!

thanks so much for your objectivity. i fully appreciate your constructive commentary on the GH AfD. you seem to be the only voice of reason in a hotly contested debate. the interesting points that the GH article has brought up alone should be criteria enough to warrant it being listed on here... hahaha! all of the other AfDs i peeked at in the past seemed to die without a whimper, with the exception of the infamous chase one. and now this!

however, i am rather puzzled by the derogatory labeling as a "meat/socketpuppet", which i assure you i am not. i have been using wikipedia since its inception and this was the 1st time that i found something of interest on here that i felt impassioned enough about to break my vow of privacy and comment on. i am not a colleague of GH. i am my own seperate entity and would like to be respected as such. why is it that all the new users are being designated as puppets? not everyone has the hang of how to navigate on here. it's easy enough to search for data but not so easy to figure out how to edit properly. must a novice editor be slandered as being a puppet for being wiki-inept? i am confused about this. any comments you have will be greatly appreciated. again, thank you for your objectivity and for your time. Inspectorpanther 21:27, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

To your wonderings about sockpuppets, look no further than the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#Sockpuppets are bad:
Unfortunately, (vandalism aside) such cases are notoriously hard to distinguish from good-faith contributors writing their first article or from anonymous users who finally decide to log in. If someone does point out your light contribution history, please take it in the spirit it was intended - a fact to be weighed by the closing admin, not an attack on the person.
Because of our past problems, opinions offered by new or anonymous users are often met with suspicion and may be discounted during the closing process. This decision is made at the discretion of the closing admin after considering the contribution history and pattern of comments. In practice, civil comments and logical arguments are often given the benefit of doubt while hostile comments are presumed to be bad-faith. Please note that verifiable facts and evidence are welcome from anybody and will be considered during the closing process.
Continue to contribute to the discussion in a civil manner and you should gain some credibility. Alas, it is a somewhat smudgy to your usernames Wikipedia career (I started off making small and noncontroversial edits), but stick to the facts and the logic, and I assure you, people will be reasonable (or, at least, I hope so). You're fighting against a strong bias developed from the fairly obvious meatpuppet attack on the page. — Ambush Commander(Talk) 23:43, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re:GH notability

Regarding your comment, " That reason is notability. Back up your claims that GH is a "creatively influential design organization" with fact."

GH is currently in the process of creating artwork that will be displayed wrapping around the entire facade of the MTV building in Times Sq, which spans the whole city block. This will remain up for an entire year. How can these types of influential projects be added to the article without sounding like advertisement?

Your comments and suggestions towards this debate have been very helpful. Any suggestions you can offer up as to what can be construed as influential without being self-promotional would be greatly appricated. Thank you.Lerner 01:07, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Sounds quite influential. As long as you can cite a reputable source that claims that this is happening, I see no problem with putting it in.
I would also try writing about the history of the group, and with the list of links to libraries, linking to their respective Wikipedia articles. — Ambush Commander(Talk) 01:17, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Many thanks

That was great feedback - I really appreciate the time you put into it. It's been interesting - I must have started 20-30 AfDs by now, maybe 50, but this was the first where my pages were vandalized or where I ran into meatpuppets.

If I called someone a sockpuppet, that was my error. They were clearly meatpuppets, and I think the distinction is critical. A meatpuppet might stick around to contribute more. A sockpuppet, well, won't.

Also, my deletion of the vfd text was actually a rookie mistake on my part. I didn't recognize it as a template because it was copied as text rather than inserted as a template. When Lerner correctly re-inserted it as {{vfd}}, I knew I'd screwed up. But he did the right thing in putting it back in.

Again, I appreciate the time & thought. I've said all along that I don't care if the result is delete or keep. I felt my responsibility was to make sure the process wasn't subverted and that the closing admin has all the information required to make a good decision. Yes, I do still think that Inspectorpanther and Lerner are either the same person or are working in concert, but that is strictly my opinion, and because I can't prove it, I have to ignore it. It's a learning process and the more experienced users like you who have stopped by have been a big help. | Klaw ¡digame! 04:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Relating to the prior discussion - I've stored some comments in my wikispace that I posted to Lerner's and Inspectorpanther's talk pages, which both users deleted. (Another similarity between them.) You can see them here: User_talk:Keithlaw/Inspectorpanther. The former is in reference to the placement of {{test1}} and {{test3}} on my talk page in response to edits I made (and explained on Talk) to the AfD. The latter is self-explanatory. | Klaw ¡digame! 16:06, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hi again!

hello there! if you don't mind, i just wanted to ask you for some advice again. i recently added a quote from an art magazine that i found from the net onto the GH page and i was wondering if i did it correctly and also if it is acceptable. i would really appreciate it if you would give me some feedback about it when you have the time.

also, i found a "paper magazine" (may 2002) cover that has GH as a cover story. am i allowed to put image up that as a proof of notability? i believe that paper magazine is a highly reputable and widely recognized publication. what do you think?

i must say that i have to laugh a bit at klaw's contstant accusations that lerner and i are the same person. it's utterly and highly delusional. i think that when i accidentally deleted his page as i was trying to leave him a message at the commencement of the AfD, it caused him to go a little bit crazy. he already had me suspended and i've paid my penance but it doesn't seem to be enough for him. it's almost as if he's out to destroy whatever i do on here. i think he's stalking me on here and following my every move. every time i try to make a contribution to a different article, he immediately deletes it. i tried to give him 2 polite warnings but he won't stop. please help. what should i do? it's starting to get downright creepy. the funniest part is that he keeps on referring to me as a guy and i am actually a girl! hahaha! how silly is that? Inspectorpanther 19:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Inspectorpanther (talkcontribs).

I tried to ask Inspectorpanther this question on his/her talk page, but s/he deleted it rather than answer [4]. S/he wrote in the above comments: i think that when i accidentally deleted his page as i was trying to leave him a message at the commencement of the AfD Inspectorpanther, why should anyone believe that your vandalism of my user page was an "accident" when you deleted it section by section in six edits? | Klaw ¡digame! 21:32, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

why shouldn't i call those fools, fools!?

Beside, i call everyone a fool.

Even you, you are a fool:P
alright then, i won't call them fools, because lots of fools in this wiki are complaining

I will call them "suker":P

>x<ino 19:38, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

That guy must be complaining of being a simple fool!

[edit] Why those libraries are not sufficient evidence of notability

The problem with Oregon State is that it is a minor third-tier university. Even the few first-tier universities listed, like the University of Washington and the University of Tulsa, are not major centers for art (that is, they are listed as first-tier universities by U.S. News magazine for the quality of their other programs).

What I find interesting is that GHava has not been picked up or endorsed by any of the top first-tier universities with renowned avant-garde art departments and museums, like Columbia, Yale, Berkeley, or Harvard, as well as independent schools like the New School or Juilliard. I also note that none of the major newspapers or magazines appears to have paid any attention to this group at all. --Coolcaesar 19:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] neutralizing articles

sorry to keep pestering you but you seem to be the only kind person on here who is knowledgeable. i just put more notable sources to cite for the GH article but i am not sure if i made them comply to wikipedia standards of neutrality. they come from the village voice, paper magazine and dazed & confused magazine, all of which are reputable outside sources. i apologize in advance for taking up so much of your time but i don't know who else i can turn to for help. i would sincerely appreciate any advice you can give me. even if the article does end up getting deleted, at least i'll know that i've given it my all to try and help spread knowledge about a very talented group of artists. thank you in advance.

Thanks for all your help! I was going a little nuts trying to figure it all out by myself. And I didn't quite get this "talk" thing either. You are a lifesaver!--Voyajer 02:25, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Double redirects

Sorry, there was another user who requested this move and who promised to take care of DR. I will go pass your complain to him :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I went over the moved pages and I think all are fixed. Btw, don't we have a bot to do this? Also, I'd have think that the developers would finally fix the double redirect issue. Tnx for fixing them! HNY to you too!--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
