[edit] Vietnam War

Thank you for your contributions on the Vietnam War page, but it is the U.S. having a hard time dealing with defeat, we must remove the latter part "withdrawal after cease fire" when in fact the cease fire was agreed upon for the United States to leave. I am removing the pov under this confusing statement because of the word "after". I think we should leave it empty for the reader to read and make the decision amongs themselves. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Webster121 (talk • contribs) 03:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jon Corzine

This change is controversial and has been reverted a number of times previously. Please don't simply continue to revert this, and exclude the article from future runs. Christopher Parham (talk) 23:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Christopher! The bot is adding the WP:WPChi banner to Jon Corzine because he's in the Category:University of Chicago alumni. WPChi determined that UChi alumni should be in their project. Since the bot is running on automatic according to the WikiProject's instructions, could you leave a note on the project talk page regarding the issue? They're the ones that can rectify the situation. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 00:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Low Man's Lyric

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Low Man's Lyric, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

The information in that article is all already in the article on the album (at least, it's there in dot-point form if not in sentences), so I've redirected it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Federalist Papers Zebra edition

There is a new edition of The Federalist Papers by Lucky Zebra Press: www.luckyzebrapress.com. This edition has been edited for readability.

On the main page of Wikipedia's The Federalist Papers entry, could you add the following under "Further Reading":

Zebra Edition. The Federalist Papers: (Or, How Government is Supposed to Work). Edited for Readability. Oakesdale, WA: Lucky Zebra Press, 2007.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Federalist Zebra (talk • contribs) 19:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terse edit summary

Christopher, please would you explain your edit summary "no merge and deletions"? Merger is listed as a possible acceptable outcome at WP:AFD, and is not mentioned (let alone banned) at WP:PROD. What have I missed?

The person who proposed deletion suggested that the article contained some worthwhile content and permitted merging, stating "any useful information it contains may be merged to other articles". I didn't find any sentences that were prima facie unacceptable, so I copy-edited it into the main article, but added the POV flag to indicate that it needed checking. It took me several minutes to do so, fixing the red links while I was at it, and I thought I was doing something valuable. What did I do wrong?

Shorthand edit summaries militate against Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers.

Also, a note from you on my talk page would have saved me carrying on fixing links to a section that no longer existed.

RSVP here. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

If you copy the content of a page to another page, you oughtn't delete the original page, which contains the page history. Since the material was sitting in the article but the history had been deleted, I was left to either undelete the original article and make it a redirect or remove the material.

I assumed given your deletion nomination that you were pretty certain that the article was close to irreparable -- if the material is problematic enough to be deleted from one article, why move it into another, probably higher profile, article? So I simply removed the material, especially since it looked redundant to the material already present, which was also better sourced. I think you did do something valuable in that you identified an article that needed to be deleted. Apologies for not being clear in the edit summary.

Really the thing you should take away is that merging an article and then nominating it for deletion is not good practice; we need to maintain the history of the material because that's how we do attribution. Christopher Parham (talk) 23:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I think I follow your line of reasoning. It was not me who nominated the article for deletion, but I did add a PROD2, stating that I had merged the content. So, were these the errors: (i) when I merged the content, should I have redirected the original instead of leaving it nominated for deletion? (ii) should the admin who deleted it likewise have taken note of this message and redirected rather than deleted? - Fayenatic (talk) 16:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rudget RfA

Dearest Supporter,

Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed unsuccessfully with 39 supports, 15 oppose, and 1 neutral. I would have liked to gain some experience of being an admin, but it wasn't to be. At least I gained some valuable time there and will use my knowledge picked up to my next candidacy. I would like to say once again, thank you for voting and I hope to see you at my next request be it a nomination or self-induced, I hope I don't get as many questions!

[edit] Durova

Do be aware that Durova is a "her" not a "his."[1] Raymond Arritt (talk) 04:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Apologies to her, noted. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I think the timestamp will cause the bot to eat that thread in about 24 hours. With no timestamp, the thread will stay until manually archived. - Jehochman ^Talk 06:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay chalk that up to me misunderstanding the edit summary. Christopher Parham (talk) 06:29, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Novel citation format

Would you mind taking a look at this footnote template and the discussion at Template talk:Rp of the new footnote format that its creator is promoting and using on Wikipedia? Frankly, I do not understand what shortcoming in the MediaWiki software User:SMcCandlish sees or in what specific way he would modify the software. However, there are certainly better solutions to the problem that he addresses—repeating the full citation of one source in multiple footnotes because different pages within the source are referenced. According to SMcCandlish's own documentation of his template, his system produces text with footnotes that looks like this:

An asserted fact.^{[1]:233-7 [2][3]} Another asserted fact.^{[1]:27, 422}

The numbers following the footnote 1 calls in the text are specific pages within the source that footnote 1 cites.

I am considering recommending this template for deletion, and cleaning up the footnotes that use it, but I would appreciate your expert assessment first. Thanks. Finell (Talk) 11:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm not a big fan of it. Generally I prefer systems that are analogous to methods that are used in print. These have the advantages that they are familiar and that when printed the article still makes sense. I eschew the "refname" feature entirely and just repeat references where necessary; since I use short footnotes this doesn't add very much if anything to the source code, and I think it looks better.

But that's me. I probably wouldn't support deleting the template; my general feeling is that authors should have wide discretion, in the articles they write, to use any system they prefer so long as it is clear to the reader, presents the necessary information, and is not unduly distracting from the content. It's more of a concern if people are propagating it across articles they aren't otherwise involved with; is that happening here? Christopher Parham (talk) 05:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. My concern is that this invented system is not clear to the reader: although some might puzzle it out, how is the reader supposed to know what the superscripted numbers between the footnotes mean? It is one thing to give Wikipedians latitude in choosing among established citation systems; it is quite another, in my opinion, for someone to create a new system that is not self-evident and inflict it on Wikipedia. Further, there is already an accepted, easily understood solution to the "problem" that this system seeks to address (multiple citations to different pages in a single source): using Harvard-style citations with page numbers in footnotes or inline with a bibliography of full references. User:SMcCandlish is very active on the various MoS Talk pages, which is where I saw him promoting his system and template as the "only solution" to the "problem". SMcCandlish is also very active in editing the various MoS pages to his liking. Finell (Talk) 05:48, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

If I were a new reader I think it would be pretty clear to me what was meant by the numbers. I don't follow most of the MoS, but the most relevent page would seem to be WP:CITE and I do follow that page and haven't seen SMC making any edits to it that I would say are inappropriate, or indeed editing it much at all.

On December 13, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Housing Act of 1949, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

FYI, I saw your information on your user page about contributing to the List of Federalist Papers, but they are all created in case you have not look recently. Chris (talk) 22:44, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not so much that they need to be created as they need to be expanded. Cheers, Christopher Parham (talk) 01:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for supporting my RFA

	Thanks for your support, my request for adminship passed 62/0/0 yesterday! I want to thank Snowolf and Dincher for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and since you are reading this, I haven't yet deleted your talk page by accident!). Please let me know if there is anything I can do to be of assistance, and keep an eye out for a little green fish with a mop on the road to an even better encyclopedia. Thanks again and take care, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 18:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Franz Josef Strauß

Might I ask you to take a look at the new discussion going on at Franz Josef Strauß? Yes, it is an ancient topic (the use of ß on en-wiki), but this is one of the most prominent articles in which this issue is of significance. Given your experience, your input would be very much appreciated. Unschool (talk) 01:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MoS

Your recent comments on the MoS page are starting to cross the line from constructive discussion to personal remarks about Tony1 (see [4]) It would be better to use Tony's talk page for personal discussion, and work to keep the discussion on the MoS page constructive. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Carl has already raised with you the issue of your conduct on the talk page of MoS. If you impugn Tony's character or motives again, and fail to assume good faith, I will consider it a personal attack on him.[5] Please refrain from personalizing issues on the guideline talk page, as this detracts from the discussion of issues. If you have personal issues with Tony, those belong on individual talk pages. Thank you, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, Sandy - perhaps some of us feel a bit unwelcome at that page due to the aspersions Tony is tossing about. I assume you plan to deliver a similar message to him? Christopher Parham (talk) 17:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I would certainly hope so, since Tony is the one who started calling people saboteurs. --Itub (talk) 17:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

OTOH, good faith is a rebuttable presumption; not only as a general fact, but in Wikijargon as well. We are not required to assume good faith if it has been rebutted. And Tony has been going over the edge himself recently. Gene Nygaard (talk) 17:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

(ec) I told Tony early on I thought he should apologize to Gguy. The poking, prodding and insulting of Tony's motives and character have gone over the top, and detract from discussion of the issues. It shouldn't be that hard to Just Stop Doing That. The issue here is to return to discussion of the issues, and stop attacking Tony's motives. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

The point is, I would also like Tony to stop attacking my motives, and I think a message from you would have helped in that regard after Tony stopped discussing the issue to initiate this exchange. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I have read Tony's remarks. Even given his record, I am astounded. I will certainly endorse an RFC; I would think further appeals would be in order. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for participating constructively in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Citing Sources. I was about to insert a comment that I begin to find it hard to WP:Assume good faith, upon CBM's revealing he hasn't looked at the article he is attacking me about. And upon SEWilco inserting his unjustified, attacking question "Have u read the article" just before CBM's reveal, as if to misdirect what would be appropriate focus on CBM's failure to have read the article. Your understated comments are better. :) doncram (talk) 01:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MoS again

At Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Tony1, Tony responded to your last comment in his usual style. Please read it as it is another perfect illustration of Wikipedia's problem with him. You may know of several diffs that further illustrate his behavior, which would illuminate the discussion if you add them. Personally, I really do not want Tony to leave; he has a lot of value to contribute. However, his behavior is poison; that is what has to go. I had nothing to do with the current WP:ANI or whatever led to it; I stumbled on it today by accident. However, this may be an opportunity to influence Tony's behavior in a positive way, if he gets sufficient feedback from others, especially from admins. Finell (Talk) 21:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New and improved action potential?

Hi Christopher,

About two months ago, you voted to keep action potential as a Featured Article at its FAR. Over the past month or so, I've changed the article rather a lot; ummm, basically, there's hardly a word left of the original article. I hope you like the new version even better than the old, but it's only fair that I give you the chance to revise your vote. If you don't like the new version, could you please leave a list of things that you'd like to see improved? Thanks muchly! Willow (talk) 19:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WT:GA

You misunderstand: I'm saying that leaving the "we didn't do it last time" point in the list as an against argument makes the against arguers look unintelligent, i.e. it's essentially a strawman for the inclusion side to pummel. --erachima talk 20:47, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

It's pretty easy to hammer a lot of arguments on both sides (e.g. "other people are doing it", etc.) and the simplest thing to do is just not to fight over whether things can be included. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:44, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

To be honest, I think your accusations that I have shown "embarrassing naivete" are ill-founded. Your assessment of the situation rather hinges on your first point: "Modify a protected page to reflect your preferred version." Nichalp's action were not unilateral, he researched the opinions of ediors [6] and intepreted the consensus resulting from that discussion. I have pointed out to him that I believe this should have been handled better [7] but I don't agree with your characterisation of the situattion. Had an univolved admin regarded the situation as being worthy of immediate reverting, my response would have been different. However both Husond and MJCdetroit had expressed clear preferences for the one title over the other. My reaction in the face of administrators being unable to agree on an interpretation of consensus is to bring in more users to assess the situation so that consensus can be more finally determined. To that end, I have proposed a designated page be set aside to debating these issues and that this be widely advertised. I would have placed a "moratorium on further changes" even had Husond and MJCdetroit not reverted themselves - you will I hope note that I have never moved this page. Where an edit war (or move war) takes place, we often protected what many see as the "wrong version". The ultimate goal is to ignore which version is currently protected and to build a consensus as to what is the right outcome. That has been my objective from the outset and I see no "naivete" in pursuing it. Regards, WjBscribe 01:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

I have felt it was neccesary to change those pages to reflect the main article, as the dispute about the article's title will most likely never be resolved. However, I will stand by your decision to revert the articles back to the way they were, simply because an edit war for those articles is simply what we don't need right now.MethMan47 (talk) 12:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AN/I

If I had my way, AN/I would be marked historical and indefinitely full-protected right now. But, I don't, so instead, I simply don't post there. I did post to User talk:Duk, and Rjd told me he was going to "inform" the board of my unblock. So, /me shrugs. : - ) --MZMcBride (talk) 19:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, the issue seems to be moot at the moment anyway as ST47 is no longer an admin and has posted saying that he won't be working with the project for some time. But, I looked over the diffs and there doesn't seem to be a glaring problem with the bot — but there does seem to be issues with the way people are posting fair use rationales (i.e., not using a template). And of course none of this speaks to the inappropriateness of an admin blocking twice, when the admin is obviously not neutral on the issue, and is (mis)using administrator tools to change the functioning of a bot.

As for consensus on AN/I, I don't see one. I see quite a few people bringing past grudges and biases to a discussion (which is why I abhor AN/I...). While I generally refrain from wheel warring, Duk's second block, for a variety of reasons, was inappropriate. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. I'm not sure about either of those points. From what I understand, templates are needed to make the rationales machine-readable. And, while a link to the article is usually not required, I'm pretty sure mentioning which article it is to be used on (with or without a link) is required. What I continually see from these image discussions is rather disheartening. Users need to fix their image description pages. The bots inform them of this, and then people block the bots for doing so. : - / --MZMcBride (talk) 20:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

If Foundation-level policy is to require a machine-readable format, and our current situation doesn't allow that, isn't it appropriate for bots to tag images as such. That is, there doesn't seem to be any machine capable of reading the fair use rationales that aren't templated. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments like this don't really seem appropriate or necessary in the context of a deletion debate. Rather unbecoming of you – I expected better. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
