[edit] Talk:Walmart

In regards to your question, I too went through all the help pages looking for a code to display template messages but not the category. It does presumably exist, I just can't find it. However, what I can do is offer you the template design code I found, which won't add the category, but will still show you the message: I hope it helps. Dev920 20:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skutt Catholic

Go for it :) You won't hurt my feelings any. I just wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to read the article. So if its posted somewhere else, thats great. Wjhonson 05:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure you should be removing the comments of others from the Talk page? I mean sure the comment was silly, but still it takes a lot of convincing that other people comments should be purged in that way, in my opinion. I'm talking about the comment you removed from the anon editor.Wjhonson 16:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I think "off-topic" might be the wrong expression. If on the Abraham Lincoln page, I say "Abraham Lincoln loved pineapples!" that wouldn't be off-topic. It might be vandalism or libel perhaps :) If someone says "Skutt sucks" thats vandalism I'd say. But I'm just not clear on exactly when we can revert vandalism from *talk* pages. The bar is much higher, then reverting from article pages, it seems. I don't have a clear answer, but it seems questionable :) Wjhonson 18:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not vandalism to Wal-Mart

I apologize if my edits looked like vandalism. I was attempting to fix what initially looked to me like an error on the page and got picked up by somebody anti-vandalism bot as a vandal. I never intended to be mistaken for a vandal. Dr. Cash 01:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. Actually, I didn't have a problem with your edits to the financial stuff. I was looking at your edit summary of, "(stoopid google toolbar)," and misread something,... now that I see it, you were fixing an incorrect URL, rather than screwing it up,... sorry! Dr. Cash 01:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wal-Mart and minor edits

I guess I sort of developed a bad habit with editing other pages; I've been a bit 'liberal' with deciding what is a 'minor edit' ... probably should be more careful in the future. Thanks for letting me know! Dr. Cash 03:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: talk comment

If we do not relay true information based on reality, why are we here, why do we bother,if people are to lazy to read then this is the wrong site for them anyway isn't it. And I personlly belive maybe if we were to expand and explain the facts and why they are facts, we would have far less arguing and bs. And a whole lot more information. I think you would be very supprised at how many people are more interested in the how, rather then the what. True education and learning starts with the yerning for information and that leads to educated people, rather then educated fools, which is what we turn out even from this site.

Let me put it this way, its the differance between reading how say a speaker is made on a sheet of paper with no pictures V.S. going into the factory.

And this is where Wikipedia as a whole has failed, not enough real world information just a lot of POV being tossed around. Wikipedia is so afraid of copyright issues it won't even allow the use of true forms of multimedia to relay true information. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a video clip worth a sound clip??? So if my stuff runs long its because of the lack of the ablity to relay the info in any other format. And there is nothing wrong with that.Ase500 06:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

...what? Tuxide 19:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Tux if you haven't figured it out I don't care about the "Good" community rules, its BS. So don't bother telling me not to extend my responses, Cuz honestly if you keep it short and sweet, its nothing, a waste of time. If we don't relay true information, which takes many words its a waste, why not just format like this then ex.

Walmart

Sales: xxxxx Profit: xxxx Number of Stores: xxxxx

Ect.....

I am sorry I just honestly don't like people like you, you always have to have some smug response, you can't just let people edit information, and discuss it, your so busy looking up rules, to patrol everyone else. And to be honest when this site started half the rules didn't exist and the whole site was much better off because people could honestly make an effort to better the information. Yes there were many wikifights, and the entries ran long, but atleast there was information here, now since people like you came along, wanting this rule and that rule and then voting on them while leaving the intent and betterment of the site in the dust. It used to be you came here and edited entries, added facts, and if someone had a problem with it you directed them to where the proof was. no everybody is so wrapped up in the rules, and everything has to be discussed, And god help you if you don't follow the rule for this or that, you will have 20 egocentric people writting you about it, oh my god like the world is going to end if a comment or a point runs a little long. Heres a thought for you, keep your smug comments to yourself, none of my points in the walmart discussion where directed at you, it was an explation of why the servant leader discription applies and an example of how the company works with in that guide. And you being you had to go make a deal out of it on my talk page, oh my god, I ran long. How petty.Ase500 10:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Wal-Mart toc, consistency in company articles

My idea was that we should make all company articles consistent, not just ones about retail companies. Take a look at Apple Computer, Microsoft, Gateway Inc for examples of good structures which all include "Corporate affairs" sections. — Wackymacs 19:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's probably a good idea, although I don't like Microsoft either. ;-) I REALLY want to see the Wal-Mart article featured!!! — Wackymacs 19:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think WP:BIZE does have a style guide really, but I do like the structures currently used by those three computer company articles I mentioned. — Wackymacs 20:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: WikiProject Retailing

Thanks for the info! I've added myself to the 'members' list. Another article I've been keeping an eye on is Best Buy. The article was in poor shape, though cleaned up a bit recently. There's still some POV concerns, and some minor criticism (though not nearly as bad as Wal-Mart ;-) ... Though it is cleaner now, it's still a bit light and could use some work. The 'external links' section is a bit long, too. Dr. Cash 22:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ...what?

Okay, I'm not sure how exactly I ended up on your talk page, but I just have to say this: your "...what?" response is awesome. - Valarauka(T/C) 23:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Not that I particularly like MascotGuy either, but you should probably refrain from saying things like "rv WP:LTA/MG bastard"—civility and Wikiquette and all. —tregoweth (talk) 21:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] citation style tag on Gamble-Skogmo

You added the {{citation style}} tag to Gamble-Skogmo, but didn't explain anywhere what was wrong. I don't see any obvious problem. External links are fine, although not the best, of course.

[edit] Wide Window

I know it looked like I was vandalizing the article by adding "in the book series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket", and I'm sorry for that, but if you looked at my previous edits my intention was to just add the byline at the end rather than replacing the whole thing.--CyberGhostface 21:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

The page that he copied it from is defunct and can be only accessed via archive.org. It was a faux sheriff's site made by Rob Zombie to promote The Devil's Rejects.

[edit] Dropping you a line

For whatever reason, I can't say anything on IRC ("#wikipedia :Cannot send to channel"), and when I attempted to /msg you a response, I got "Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register!").

So anyway, to answer your question, I've just never considered "pissed" to be serious profanity, especially given that it isn't one of the "universal"-type swears (as opposed to shit or fuck). "Bloody" is, from what I understand, a lot more of a swear word in England and/or Australia, whereas in the U.S., it is incredibly weak; I'd put "pissed" on approximately the same level. EVula 02:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment at Talk:Hypermarket#"1st" Hypermarket

You said in this sectio of the talk page: Commenting on contributors instead of the content is very off-topic here. Reviewing what was said in that section, I found only four mentions of user Caldorwards4 (I'm assuming that is who you are referring to as the editor being commented on), and all of those were in the context of discussing specific edits (Caldorwards4's source, Caldorwards4's rv, Caldorwards4 had to find his link ... Caldorwards4's entry). As far as I can tell, in no way whatsoever were they a violation of WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL, or WP:AGF, and all of the comments were intended to improve the article (being about hypermarkets, which company had the first, and who pioneered the concept, are certainly relevant, in my opinion).

So - could you identify some specific wording in that section that is problematical, or when you said "here" did you mean some other section (such as "Hypermarket Pioneer")? If the latter, I'd really appreciate your moving your comment to that other section, since where it is now implies there are problems with the section it's in, and if that's not the case, then it could be considered misleading.

Thanks. John Broughton | Talk 13:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I understand you are just trying to help but maybe you could be a bit less mean to ST47? It's not my place and not my rules, I guess, but you seemed a bit confrontational.

[edit] John Geisse

Dear Tuxide, Thank you for your article on John F. Geisse. I updated it a bit. Rowley's book is fairly good on Target but she failed to get the inside true story on Dad. I've sent her the corrections but no update as yet. Discount Store News Markowitz (the late) was very accurate in his history of discount stores......look for 25th anniversay material circa 1987. His work was encyclopedic and Dad said very accurate. Thomas Geisse —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tjgtjg (talk • contribs).

I removed Rowley's credit on the paragraph on John Geisse. Nothing in the paragraph now that isn't fact. Let me know if I can help you expand your history of retailing. Again the 1987-1988 DSN articles on the history of the discount store concept in America is far more accurate and insightful.

Thank you again from the Geisse family.

Hello again, what I do know about On Target is that Laura Rowley was citing from this article from the Chicago Tribune. Since I can only read the abstract, I don't know how she interpreted the context, but the factual information is most likely already in the DSN articles. When I have time to, I will expand on it and introduce additional citations. Regards, Tuxide 22:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quaker State

...because the article as it was (2 lines of text, and one of them about nickname for Pennsylvania, and it remained like that since May) had no claim to notability whatsoever. Somebody else tagged it for speedy deletion and threatened to take it to AFD. If you can write a sourced article showing that it is notable and encyclopedia-worthy, go ahead. Renata 07:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rainbow Brite edits

I restored the good edits that Raw Cook Guy made to the Rainbow Brite article. It seemed suspicious that Tregoweth was reverting nearly all his edits, when they were good. I wasn't aware he's a sock puppet, however, even if a user is a known vandal, when there are positive edits why can't the admin leave them alone? Sure, still keep an eye on the person, but maybe he's trying to turn over a new leaf? Assume good faith? Kat, Queen of Typos 23:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

After looking at the suspected and known sock puppets, I take it back. Holy cow. How does he keep getting around the bans?! Isn't his IP banned? Kat, Queen of Typos 23:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom has made it pretty clear that page blanking is OK [1]

He's read the messages, and if he's read them, doesn't matter if they stay or not; he's been warned. It isn't polite, but restoring blanked comments has been deemed harassment. By removing these comments, he isn't hampering/disrupting Wikipedia in any way. Anyways, the comments are in the history, and if there is anything vital, you can always move them to the RFC page, or add diffs there. Cheers! --May the Force be with you!

[edit] Wal-Mart#External links

Thanks. I've re-added the content template to the external links section. Personally, I agree that the reclaimdemocracy.org link is not appropriate, most likely because it's not notable. The website, while it does target wal-mart, seems to be about other issues and not exclusively targeting wal-mart. Having the link on the wal-mart page is really contributing to their POV, which is against wiki policy, IMHO. Dr. Cash 23:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes on Talk:Fuzzy Zoeller

Hello Tuxide. I noticed that you converted the hidden infoboxes on Talk:Fuzzy Zoeller to right-aligned box variants. I much prefer the hidden method, particularly on a page that receives heavy offsite traffic. This makes boxes that are relevant to casual editors more prominant (such as off topic warning and blp) by hiding the identically emphasized boxes relevant only to editors and tracking (WikiProjects, missing image tag, and media attention notes). The hidden infoboxes method reduces confusion, emphasizes important notices, and makes talk pages much more usable for both casual visitors and established editors.

What are your objections to the hidden infoboxes method? Perhaps we can adjust it. —{admin} Pathoschild 22:02:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for asking me this question. My reason was that I didn't think the hidden template was prominent enough due to the size of the box, and the number of people who view the article and do not already edit, or understand Wikipedia. I generally use hidden templates on to-do lists, although yours could probably be made more prominent if it is not as minimal as it was, such as the archive box on Talk:Wal-Mart. As for the high traffic implications, if it's server performace you are concerned about, I am not as per WP:PERF (besides the XHTML gets loaded anyways whether or not JavaScript is hiding it). I believe the off-topic warning is still emphasized because I made all of the others smaller. If you want, do the same to the blp template (but remove the instance of it from the WikiProject Biography one). If you have any questions or ideas, please let me know. Regards, Tuxide 22:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think localizing this method to individual templates (as is done on the to-do and archive templates) is scalable. On pages with many such templates, this forces a user who wants to scan through the information to click several '[show]' link consecutively. On the other hand, it is relatively easy to click a single '[show]' link, scan through the information, and hide it again. If prominence is a concern, we could make the box more so as shown at right.

My concern about high traffic is not performance, but user-friendliness. Particularly (though not only) when an article receives media attention, we should do our best to make the discussion page as simple, usable, and inviting to constructive comments as possible. The orange boxes are essentially warnings; they are designed specifically to attract attention and force viewers to read them before proceeding.

Given that, we do not want to intimidate a casual reader or editor by forcing them to read a full page (or two) of boxes written in Wikimedia jargon. The hidden infoboxes template is largely designed to provide easy access to information about the article for interested editors, while only displaying actual warnings and the information relevant to casual readers and editors by default. —{admin} Pathoschild 06:53:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that wording introduces some terms that could be simplified. For example, 'boilerplate' is not a very common word outside editing circles, and 'threshold' suggests a level-based system that doesn't exist on Wikipedia. What do you think of the box at right?

—{admin} Pathoschild 23:00:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

That version looks good. Do you object to re-adding that to Talk:Fuzzy Zoeller? —{admin} Pathoschild 23:16:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Department stores

You may be right about the company type thing but that is not really anything I know about. I just edited those articles to revert a user that said that the company was defunct which is not a type of company that I'm aware of. Defunct is just an adjective that just says the current condition of the company. Nothing like that is necessary to describe what type of company it is. Gdo01 20:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Millard North High School

I think a school can't be filmed but a movie. Also, I don't see any problem with the article's point of view. If you do think its neutrality is disputed, feel free to add a tag there and discuss it on its talk page. - Microtony 07:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Skutt lawsuit

I removed the text because relative to the school itself, it's not notable compared to other things (principals, state championships, etc.) Within Wikipedia, the Skutt lawsuit was notable enough to write an article about. Outside Wikipedia, it's a relatively minor thing. For example, a year or two back, my high school threatened to sue a group of restaurant workers who trespassed on school property to play a game of pick-up football. It made the news, and the lawsuit was dropped. Sure, it made the news, and it was a big thing for the people involved. But I guarantee you that if I polled 500 people in my town on whether they remember the incident, I wouldn't find 10 who would. It appears to be the same thing here- something that might be worth mentioning in an article specifically about Wikipedia-related lawsuits- but one that surely has no bearing on the history of the school itself, and that if you polled people in that area, they wouldn't remember the incident either.

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I joined WikiProject Retailing. I started the Store manager article a while ago and just gave it a major overhaul. I think it's an important topic. Thanks for starting this WikiProject and I look forward to collaborating with you in the future. JakeB 01:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Superman

Didn't know about about images of superman that were in the public domain. Thanks for the info. - Peregrine Fisher 15:01, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
