[edit] ArbCom vote

Hello, Kingturtle. I'd thought I let you know that you inadvertantly voted oppose twice at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Fred Bauder. I've flagged the second vote, but thought I'd let you know. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

holy moly that's embarassing for me! what a gaff! please don't interpret it as a personal attack against you. Kingturtle 00:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apple Computer

Hi. Your last edit to talk page of Apple Computer added a lot of older stuff and removed some recent comments (including one proposed addition of content by me). Could you check what you did and fix it? --Chan-Ho (Talk) 13:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

Hey Kingturtle, sorry to put this on your discussion page, but this is the first time I've been on here, and am not certain how else to contact you. I have a question for you:

I'm doing a report on USC Trojan Football, and came across one of your posts in the discussion portion. I read the copyright laws, but am not entirely comfortable with the jargon. I'd like to use some of the entry for a report as I mentioned. Am I allowed to do this? Am I required to cite it as a reference? If so, how would I cite it?

The questions to these answers and any others you think might be useful, I would greatly appreciate. Thanks.

NathanR152.163.100.68 15:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

you certainly may use wikipedia as a resource. treat it like any other source. cite it like any other citation in your paper. since this is a website, you should use the particular citation format for websites. do you know if you're supposed to use a particular formatting style for citations? Kingturtle 19:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nick Berg

Hi Kingturtle. You reverted my edits to Nick Berg, which I thought were removing patent opinion. The caption says "Warning: Very graphic photo." It is also very unencyclopedic to warn whether something "may offend viewers;" we present the facts of what's in the picture or video, and the reader decides for themself whether or not they should check it out. // paroxysm (n) 04:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

i switched it back. is that a written policy? Kingturtle 05:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] United Nations resolutions

Thank you for comment. As an administrator at multilingual Wikisource, English Wikisource, Chinese Wikisource (bureaucrat), Chinese Wikipedia, and Chinese Wiktionary, one of my major dreamed project is to edit things about the United Nations resolutionsin English, French, and Chinese --- all three are official languages of the UN. While I am not an administrator here, I have found several lists of the UN Security Council resolutions and started to fill in the blanks. If you are interested in adding the primary source texts of the United Nations resolutions, Wikisource is the place to go.

While I plan not to apply myself for adminship here yet, I will not object if you would like to nominate me at anytime. It is up to you. As I see you being a bureaucrat here and a candidate for the Arbitration committee, I have to think before voting there.--Jusjih 08:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I have received your recent message. The dates of the first 300 resolutions are complete. I will fill in more if no one else does it. While I see your user page saying "The mood of Wikipedia seems to be one of deleting more articles, which makes me less likely to start new articles", I do not feel starting a new page so badly while you are a bureaucrat but I am not an admin here yet.--Jusjih 13:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] USC Trojans football

Hi - Our anonymous friend is back, repeatedly reverting to his version of the awards section at USC Trojans football. I've asked him if there's some compromise we can achieve, with no response. I'm not exactly sure how to proceed - have any suggestions? I don't think he's techically violated 3RR yet and he seems to be willing to wait for quite a long time before reintroducing his version of the text. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Both the anon and user:MisfitToys have now violated 3RR. Since I've been involved in these reverts, I'd prefer a different admin take action. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 01:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the 4th revert; after I reverted the third time, I then semi-protected but thought about it again and removed the protect. When the anon reverted (immediately) for the fourth time, I thought reverting and protecting was the correct thing to do, but I suppose having someone else do it might have been the right route. Unfortunately, the current version is the one the anon's been putting up (and which several users, including me, you and Kingturtle) have been reverting away from. If someone could revert to your (Rick's) last version (the last one before the edit war), I think that would be useful, especially since the anon user seems unwilling to either participate constructively in talk discussions or make any compromises regarding content. The current situation might leave the anon user thinking that he's "won" and doesn't need to participate anymore. (BTW, how did the anon remove the semi-protect? Kind of defeats the purpose.)

[edit] Temple of the Moon

Yeah I went on a bit of a wiki-spree to rid wiki of some fancruft and redirected most of the red location links to that page.... Was trying not to encourage every damn building and town to have its own article.... - UnlimitedAccess 04:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

i've turned that redirect into an article about something else. if this is not ok, i can turn it into a disamb page. Kingturtle 10:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November 22; - removing less notable deaths from the events area)

Hi, This is obviously subjective but I feel the death of C. S. Lewis is important enough to be retained. We still have for example, Greek troops advance into Albanian soil and liberate Korytsa, Vaudeville actress Lillian Ruell makes her debut - both events of such little general interest that they contain red links. I don't know if you've been doing similar work on other dates and if there are criteria for this sort of thing? Dlyons493 Talk 19:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

some deaths, like assassinations or historic firsts are included in events. but deaths are usually placed in the Deaths area and not in the events area. there is no official criteria, but some conversations have taken place in the TALK area of Wikipedia:WikiProject Days of the year. please add your ideas to the mix there. Kingturtle 19:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] request for disambiguation

Hi again. You helped me before about a disambiguation situation and I am back. I apologize if I am violating some rule but I really am not good with technical computing skills. On a political page called Bureaucratic Collectivism, I added a reference that I think it is important to Joe Carter, an American socialist activist. Unfortunately, this is also the name of a baseball player. There needs to be a disambiguous page with all the leading links changed. Could King Turtle or someone else help? Thanks. Rmalhotr 23:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Because Joe Carter the baseball player has over 4 times as many google hits as Joe Carter the activist, I decided not to make a disamguation page. Instead, I changed the activist to Joe Carter (activist), and I simply made mention of him atop the Joe Carter article. If you feel strongly that the Joe Carter baseball player article should instead be Joe Carter (baseball player), let me know. Kingturtle 00:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

No, I completely agree with your judgment but I am afraid I made an error. I am very sorry. It turns out that the activist person in question already has a page under Joseph Carter. I have changed back the link on "bureaucratic collectivism" to the right Carter but the new note on the Baseball player that you created would have to be either deleted or changed to refer to Joseph Carter. I am sorry for the trouble. I agree that 99.999% of Americans anyway would be searching for the baseball player so if you just want to delete the message on the baseball player, that's fine. Sorry for my mistake. Rmalhotr 01:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

no problem. i fixed it. go see how :) Kingturtle 02:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 60 point NBA games

Hi. FYI, I rv your last edit to the list of 60-point games because I don't like seeing that detail for just one game like that one is worthy of extra special attention. But, if you know of where to find those detailed stats on all of the 60-point games, I think that would look really cool in that article. Any clue where to find those? —Wknight94 (talk) 22:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

give it a little time. we can dig the info up. take a look how the early version of Major League Baseball home run milestones evolved into how it looks now. Kingturtle 22:17, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I can live with that. Already looks better with those in their own column. I broke it out into three columns. Tonight, I'll work on filling out more recent ones anyway and adding the columns to the sort-by-date table. —Wknight94 (talk) 22:37, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] François-René de Chateaubriand

Hamburger Chateaubriand and Meat Loaf Chateaubriand? If it wasn't from you, I'd presume this to be vandalism. The former pretty much fails the Google test, and I can't find anything offhand on line to connect the latter to the man himself. Have you got a citation for this? (If the answer is "yes", could you add that to the article?) - Jmabel | Talk 07:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

the info comes from George & Berthe Herter's Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes. i added the reference to the article. i need help getting the syntax correct. if the names of the dishes seem too far-fetched, maybe the Herters were wrong? Kingturtle 07:27, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Baker Image

Hi Kingturtle, I saved Frank-baker-baseball.jpg on commons. Its new name is Frank Baker Baseball Card.jpg. You are using the picture on your user page, I just wanted to let you know that this picture is flagged NowCommons so the local copy might be deleted. --Matt 314 20:14, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beatles

Hey, did you mean to do what you did to the Beatles page just now? John (Jwy) 06:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

yes, in 1963, the beatles were not influenced by Bob Dylan. Kingturtle 06:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I agree with that and left Lion King a note, but I was reverting the loss of the stuff at then end. I'll clean that up. John (Jwy) 06:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

ah, oops. good catch. Kingturtle 06:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mullet

Not sure why you reverted my edits, but if you take another look at the entry you'll see that the way it is worded after your revert implies that Joe Dirt the movie, not the character, had a mullet.

The first part of the entry was in italics, and since movie characters' names don't get italicized, it must mean the movie itself. Without italics, as I had it, means that the character Joe Dirt had a mullet (in the movie of the same name). I'm fixing it again. Please don't revert again without discussion. Kafziel 13:23, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] R from title without diacritics

It categorizes a subset of "unprintworthy redirects" which are useful for searching for articles, and preventing duplicates from being created, perhaps by a newb that doesn't know any better. But these redirects shouldn't be used for linking because they are, technically, incorrect titles for the article being linked to. If they are all categorized as such, it makes it easy to spot check what links to these redirects and correct the spelling used in those pages. Also it makes it a short order to periodically run a bot and fix them all, which what I plan to do shortly. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 22:04, Jan. 30, 2006

[edit] Trojans football

Regarding USC Trojans football, I don't believe it's possible for the anon user and me to resolve the differences between us; as I've noted on the talk page, each of us insists on including text that the other finds completely unacceptable. I'd like your opinion regarding my earlier suggestions of Wikipedia:Third opinion or Wikipedia:Requests for comment. MisfitToys 22:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shea Stadium

I was amused by your "no offense" at that picture that looks like it was taken from a moving car. You missed a semi-obvious "punning situation": You could have told the uploader that Wiki has a policy against "drive-by shootings". d:) Wahkeenah 00:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:HazelCarter.jpe

Hi Kingturtle. Please note that when you upload images, you should add source and licencing details at that time. The image was tagged as unsourced for the full seven day period - if you won't add licence details when uploading the image and won't add your uploads to your watchlist so that you don't know that they have been tagged as unsourced, your images are liable to be deleted as they are then speedy deletable. If you don't agree with this policy, may I suggest that you take the issue up with Jimmy Wales who implemented this policy. Regards, CLW 22:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the policy. I'm just asking that instead of deleting, ask the uploader to verify the copyright info. Kingturtle 23:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lewis Hine

I was wondering what was "broken" about the picture that you removed recently. It is a relatively famous picture, and it is (as is explained on the image page) not subject to copyright, as it was created by the United States Government. The picture looks good, so I don't know why you wanted to remove it from the article. Morris 03:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seeking guidance

I am seeking your guidance and advice on a particular issue. Mahuri page on wikipedia was initiated by me, and I have contributed to the page from time to time. As per policy of the wikipedia anyone can use the contents of wikipedia, but I understand that use of such contents should indicate the source, that is, the wikipedia. The contents of the page Mahuri have been used in the site mahurivaisya without giving any reference to wikipedia - though I am glad that they have used our contents. In this case, a problem may arise at a future date if that website takes a stand that the contents of page Mahuri on wikipedia have been copied from that site and thus violates copyrights. In an alternative scenario, a user here may tag our Mahuri page with copyright violation under the impression that our contents have been copied from that site, reference to which was given by me long back as an external link when that site was not active and having only a welcome page. Although I am not aware of any such issue, which wikipedians may have encountered in the past, I believe that such a situation may have arisen earlier too. I seek your advice and guidance to deal with this issue, which you are requested to kindly post on my talk page please. I also utilize this opportunity to say Hello to you. Thanks. --Bhadani 13:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are you sure?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geek&diff=37580894&oldid=37548457 You wrote "do not use this image until you get the expressed approval to do so from User:Elvenscout742"

Are you sure? I put it in kimono, too and nobody had a problem with that (of course this image is the articles's only male kimono picture and it desperately needed it) and yet geek is not? Why not?

Where on the wikipedia policy does it say that if I must get his permission since he listed it as "Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts" that free copyright?

An unrelated question: You became an admin with 3,944 edits and 75 days experience? They require 10,000 edits and 6 months (or was it 9) last time I looked.

I am intereted in hearing back. Tempoo 11:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

A) it is a matter of common courtesy and kindness to ask. B) what and what is not a geek is subjective, therefore POV.

[edit] List of songs containing overt reference to real musicians

I agree that this list should only include artists/songs that are somehow accessible – be it on records/cds or the net. As this is the case with my additions from 2/5/06 (posted from 84.61.131.16), I don't see why you deleted them.

Netzhaut 23:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Which contributions specifically are you referring to? Kingturtle 23:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

"Bob Dylan's 49th Beard" by Wilco, "Talking New Bob Dylan" and "Five Years Old", both by Loudon Wainwright III. I had added a song by Rufus Wainwright as well, but only noticed later that it doesn't fit in this list but rather the covert references list.

Netzhaut 01:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see what happens. I am an administrator here which allows me to revert edits. i meant to revert only your most recent edit, but the software made me revert all your edits to the last user other than you. i meant only to remove the Rufus Wainwright edit, because it was covert not overt. feel free to re-add the other overt examples. Kingturtle 01:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invisible edits/Deletions?

Hi Kingturtle. I was just wondering if it's possible for a page to be edited in such a way that changes do not show up on its history page. I recently added some material to the Thin Red Line page--or at least I thought I did--and some of it now seems to be gone, without a trace on the history page. I checked the Help->Editing page before writing you, and there's nothing said about it over there, which makes me wonder if I'm just imagining things.... Perhaps I accidentally highlighted a bunch of my own text and then deleted it before saving a final version of the page? Anyway, please let me know what might be going on. Thanks very much. Buck 16:24, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

i don't believe secret edits can be made. on rare occassions there is a glitch in the software. i am unsure what has happened in your case. can you give me more specifics about what you added that is now missing? Kingturtle 22:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. After my initial edit (13:35, 6 Feb), which was to insert a need-source flag, I went back and expanded the page with two paragraphs of text, which I thought had been saved under my expansion of the "narrative theme" section (14:24, 6 Feb--listed under "expanded narrative theme section, corrected spelling"). But when I went back this afternoon and looked at the page again, my spelling corrections were there, but the extra material I'd written--which consisted of an elaboration of the way in which the movie's major themes were demonstrated by way of conflicts between specific characters--seemed to have vanished. This is the first time this has ever happened to me, and I'm quite sure it's not another of the listed editors, since they all seem serious (i.e., non-vandalistic). Again, I'm not ruling out the possibility that I somehow made this erasure myself (I'm working with a new laptop computer, whose mouse touch-pad is a bit temperamental); I just wanted to know if it was possible that it might have been an edit that took place without any evidence of it being left over. Anyway, the answer seems to be "no", so don't worry about it. And, since you mention it, it might just have been a glitch (of the sort that sometimes takes place when searches don't go through properly, as sometimes happens). Maybe I'll go back to the page and try to rebuild what I thought I'd left there. Thanks again. Buck 04:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] subst

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Kingturtle, is it against the rules to link to a Myspace profile of somebody on a reality show, like ANTM? I got kind of lost when trying to look up the answer. Thanks.

[edit] Buffy Novels

Hiya, just wondering why you changed the article 'Buffy novels', to 'Buffy novel'. My opinion is that the article I made is about the novels collectively, and not about the definition of a 'Buffy novel'? Also it is a parallel article to 'Buffy episodes', 'Buffy comics', Buffy video games', 'Angel comics', 'Angel novels', 'Buffyverse novels', 'Buffyverse comics', each one collects together the group of its subject, rather than defines the singular. Wouldn't a redirect from 'Buffy novel' to 'Buffy novels' be more appropiate and consistent with all the other articles?

Let me know on this page what you think. Thanks -- Paxomen 21:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

it made more sense, i felt, but if there are arguments to switch it back to Buffy novels, i will not oppose the change back. Kingturtle 22:04, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Also I do feel its important to keep these 'Canonical issues' boxes around, because many Buffy fans who are Wikipedians have strong views about such things, whilst others don't really care. the 'Canonical issues' gives the chance for those who don't care to skip it, and those who do to spend more time on it.

Hiya, I brought up the issue on the wikiproject buffy page and only got 2 responses, but both favoured a plural option, so shall move to plural

it's not about the concept, it's about the collection. Plural is appropriate. Dave 06:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Kingturtle. I saw your question and googled this:

• Dubai Ports International (DPI) acquired the international terminal business of US-based CSX World Terminals (CSXWT) for 1.15 billion dollars. DPI merged last September with Dubai Ports Authority (DPA) to form DP World, which under the CSXWT purchase manages the development of South Korea's Pusan Newport. [1]

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Danielwebster2.jpe

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Danielwebster2.jpe. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 04:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed event policy for Wikicalendar

I recently posted some ideas about developing criteria for what should and should not be listed on Wikicalendar events at the Wikicalendar's talk page. Since you're actively involved in this project, I thought I'd let you know so that you can comment or add more suggestions. Thanks :). Fabricationary 23:45, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
