I have no earthly idea how Sandstein divined ANY consensus out of that AfD. I've started a thread at AN/I about it. Please wait until we've hashed it out before unilaterally taking steps to merge. S. Dean Jameson 23:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the compliments on the stain-glass window shots. They were pretty difficult and I probably should have used a tripod, but I made up for it by add brightness using Picasa's photoshop features. I doubt they are good enough for FP (it is a really high bar from what I can tell), but I like the feedback and hopefully someday one of the pictures will make it.

In looking back through my discussion with you (and others of your view), I recognize that I have advocated my position with such vigor that it has led to hard feelings and anger.

Hi Fletcher, I'm a little concerned about this edit, wherein you ask another editor to "Please do not add false information to Wikipedia." This is a rather serious accusation and I would be interested in your substantiation or retraction of same.
As I'm sure you're aware, provision of sources within an AfD carries no prejudice whatsoever. It is the responsibility of the commenting editors to verify the sources (at least the online ones) and make their own judgements, rather than rely on the assertions of other commenters. Schmidt in fact made clear that the bulk of the sources were directed toward proving the notability of the show itself and thus the notability of the film preserving its final performance. I'm not able to find anywhere in the article itself where Schmidt may have used the sources to reference a false statement, thus I'm at a loss to see the founding of your claim of "false information". The External Links of course are subject to trimming at your editorial judgement (and External Links don't prove or disprove anything in any case).
I've communicated quite closely with Schmidt during his wiki-career and I can assure you that his intentions are only the best. To suggest that he would knowingly provide false information is indeed an insult and conflicts with everything I've seen to-date. I'll grant you that he has an inclusionist bent and even worse, has a tendency to make massive improvements to articles under threat, and also to create related articles.
You and he got off to a bad footing at that AfD debate - is there any way you can help to repair the breach?
(Also, I think you missed one in the list of sources you objected to - the first ref to NY Times pretty clearly mentions the film version, including a link to hotticket.com - unless I'm reading wrong)

A tag has been placed on Ecto (software) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

"Oppose EV is somewhat weak, spread over three articles. Shows little of a T-37; does serve to identify the student pilot but is not very educational about the topic, though admittedly it is a hard one to illustrate; does show an oxygen mask but again, not an extremely informative view." Would it help if I diagramed out each component of the mask? The vast majority of the components of the mask are quite visible.

I agree that the change was passive and this is not a desirable English mode of expression. However, Wikipedia is not a "how to" manual either. Personal pronouns are definitely precluded, including "one." If you can figure out an active way of wording it without using an implied personal pronoun, great!

Because you've contributed to FPC either recently or in the past, I'm letting you know about the above poll on the basis of which we may develop proposals to change our procedures and criteria. Regards, Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 22:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
I'll just mention that there are some new reply options for this question, which also serves as an example of how the poll should progress when none of the available options suit the contributors. The question on dealing with unclear consensus has apparently been the most controversial so far. I remain hopeful that we will succeed in representing people's opinions by the time the poll ends. Feel free to change your vote or add a new reply option if the three new ones still don't quite work for you. (But obviously, try to create something general enough that it's likely to gather a following.) Thank you. Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 09:18, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Tx for your good work on the TS article. Two quick points -- the more important one: pls don't delete the see also refs that are detailed. The template lacks the detail that they have. Second, as to the semicolon in the title -- looks odd to you , looks ok to me ... but as changed, it does not adequately describe the content, as it is only in small part about the suspect's arrest. Open to suggestions as to how to revise. No doubt the legal process part will shortly be its own section.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 12:43, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick help! My point in making the request was to get a realistic image as one could see it from the ground. Of course I could have taken the picture without the stop sign if I'd been paying better attention, but I couldn't get the picture without the power lines; consequently, I wouldn't feel right asking you to remove them even if it were easy.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Maedin\ talk 04:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Just a minor comment for your consideration. You just made an edit at our active article, adding the word "claimed". As I read WP:CLAIM, that practice is deprecated, inasmuch as it says: "Ensure that the way Wikipedia characterizes people's statements is neutral and accurate. Said, stated, wrote, and according to can be used neutrally in almost all contexts. Extra care is needed with more loaded terms.... To write that someone claimed ... something can call their statement's credibility into question, by emphasizing any potential contradiction or implying a disregard for evidence." So, I wonder whether it is not better to use one of the indicated non-loaded terms. Best.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 01:42, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
I agree with you the building is not wholly and exclusively dedicated to Muslims for religious activities: It's a community center and mosque, not just a mosque. However the mosque part of the building appears to be dedicated to exclusively Muslims. And it is reasonable to describe such a space as a mosque, as many people have. I don't think we should say "strictly speaking it is not a mosque," (where "it" refers to the prayer space, not the whole building). It seems to me the word mosque can be interpreted loosely and it doesn't have to be a dedicated freestanding building, but can be a space within a building. For example, the New York Times describes Masjid Manhattan here as one of two mosques near Ground Zero, even though it only occupies a "narrow basement." Fletcher ( talk) 00:39, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

In a recent edit in which you added the wikilinked word mosque to the article Park51 you claimed in the edit summary that there was no consensus to remove the word "mosque" from the article, as if the word "mosque" was removed from the article.
I just want to point out to you that the article already contains the word "mosque" more than 100 times (I counted them and and I gave up counting after 100 and before I got to the citations listings which carries the word many many more times).
The main function of Park51 is not as a place of prayer as otherwise it would indeed be a mosque. Its main function is that of a cultural center and therefore the word mosque is not an appropriate label over and above "prayer space". This was discussed at the article talk page and it did achieve consensus, at least for the lede section. -- Hauskalainen ( talk) 18:08, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you uploaded this image, stating that the source and author is unknown. I did a quick search and discovered that the image (along with several others) was taken by Dubai Police and released through the state news agency and is subject to copyright restrictions: [3]. Not sure what that means as far as fair-use goes, but I'm sure you'll want to update the licence information. It is also worth noting that the photo is claimed to show printer parts stuffed with explosives, whereas your description and the caption in the related article seem to state this as a fact, so you may wish to modify those also.

Hello Fletcher,
I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.
For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

Thanks for the compliments on the stain-glass window shots. They were pretty difficult and I probably should have used a tripod, but I made up for it by add brightness using Picasa's photoshop features.

Hi Fletcher, I'm a little concerned about this edit, wherein you ask another editor to "Please do not add false information to Wikipedia." This is a rather serious accusation and I would be interested in your substantiation or retraction of same.
As I'm sure you're aware, provision of sources within an AfD carries no prejudice whatsoever. It is the responsibility of the commenting editors to verify the sources (at least the online ones) and make their own judgements, rather than rely on the assertions of other commenters. Schmidt in fact made clear that the bulk of the sources were directed toward proving the notability of the show itself and thus the notability of the film preserving its final performance. I'm not able to find anywhere in the article itself where Schmidt may have used the sources to reference a false statement, thus I'm at a loss to see the founding of your claim of "false information". The External Links of course are subject to trimming at your editorial judgement (and External Links don't prove or disprove anything in any case).
I've communicated quite closely with Schmidt during his wiki-career and I can assure you that his intentions are only the best. To suggest that he would knowingly provide false information is indeed an insult and conflicts with everything I've seen to-date. I'll grant you that he has an inclusionist bent and even worse, has a tendency to make massive improvements to articles under threat, and also to create related articles.
You and he got off to a bad footing at that AfD debate - is there any way you can help to repair the breach?
(Also, I think you missed one in the list of sources you objected to - the first ref to NY Times pretty clearly mentions the film version, including a link to hotticket.com - unless I'm reading wrong)

A tag has been placed on Ecto (software) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

I agree that the change was passive and this is not a desirable English mode of expression. However, Wikipedia is not a "how to" manual either.

I'll just mention that there are some new reply options for this question, which also serves as an example of how the poll should progress when none of the available options suit the contributors. The question on dealing with unclear consensus has apparently been the most controversial so far. I remain hopeful that we will succeed in representing people's opinions by the time the poll ends. Feel free to change your vote or add a new reply option if the three new ones still don't quite work for you.

Tx for your good work on the TS article. Two quick points -- the more important one: pls don't delete the see also refs that are detailed. The template lacks the detail that they have. Second, as to the semicolon in the title -- looks odd to you , looks ok to me ... but as changed, it does not adequately describe the content, as it is only in small part about the suspect's arrest.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Maedin\ talk 04:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Just a minor comment for your consideration. You just made an edit at our active article, adding the word "claimed". As I read WP:CLAIM, that practice is deprecated, inasmuch as it says: "Ensure that the way Wikipedia characterizes people's statements is neutral and accurate. Said, stated, wrote, and according to can be used neutrally in almost all contexts. Extra care is needed with more loaded terms.... To write that someone claimed ... something can call their statement's credibility into question, by emphasizing any potential contradiction or implying a disregard for evidence." So, I wonder whether it is not better to use one of the indicated non-loaded terms. Best.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 01:42, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
I agree with you the building is not wholly and exclusively dedicated to Muslims for religious activities: It's a community center and mosque, not just a mosque. However the mosque part of the building appears to be dedicated to exclusively Muslims. And it is reasonable to describe such a space as a mosque, as many people have. I don't think we should say "strictly speaking it is not a mosque," (where "it" refers to the prayer space, not the whole building). It seems to me the word mosque can be interpreted loosely and it doesn't have to be a dedicated freestanding building, but can be a space within a building. For example, the New York Times describes Masjid Manhattan here as one of two mosques near Ground Zero, even though it only occupies a "narrow basement." Fletcher ( talk) 00:39, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

In a recent edit in which you added the wikilinked word mosque to the article Park51 you claimed in the edit summary that there was no consensus to remove the word "mosque" from the article, as if the word "mosque" was removed from the article.
I just want to point out to you that the article already contains the word "mosque" more than 100 times (I counted them and and I gave up counting after 100 and before I got to the citations listings which carries the word many many more times).
The main function of Park51 is not as a place of prayer as otherwise it would indeed be a mosque. Its main function is that of a cultural center and therefore the word mosque is not an appropriate label over and above "prayer space". This was discussed at the article talk page and it did achieve consensus, at least for the lede section. -- Hauskalainen ( talk) 18:08, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Not sure what that means as far as fair-use goes, but I'm sure you'll want to update the licence information.

Hello Fletcher,
I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.
For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!
