Saw your recent concerns about the NPOV of The Way International. I have neither the context (nor frankly the energy) to do it myself, but I'd point out that many of the concerns you mention should be added to the article are listed (albeit not in fully NPOV fashion themselves) in The Way's entry at List of purported cults. -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:23, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Haikupoet: I have presumed to wikilink your ' friends of gays' comment at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Aled Seago because I think it may give offence to some people who are not aware of the source.

Just a note, but watch out for Gabrielsimon's edits on this page... he removed an entire section and has done these things in the past. In the future, before replying to him there could you double check that he hasn't erased anything recently? We need to stay on top of him because his clear strategy is to simply try to erase things he doesn't like. DreamGuy 05:55, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

No, no name calling. But we might block if everyone is tired of reverts without justification.

I made an RfC over which redirect would be most suitable.
If an article is a member of category A, and category A is a member of category B, then the article is also a member of category B. So I didn't remove any categories. You did remove a category - the most important one. If you want to put the article into redundant categories, then whatever. I won't revert that, although it's wrong. But I do object to your deleting the main category. Mirror Vax 21:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't know how the term "vaporware" came to be referenced with regards to this product, however I can assure you that OpenGCL is very much real, and has been in use by GIS developers for over 2 years. It was a project started in 1997, and took until 2003 to release. I would appreciate if Wikipedia would please remove any libelous comments about the software, or else risk legal action
165.154.136.7 20:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC) once again, please remove libelous comments or risk legal action.
FROM THAT SAME SOURCE: Similarly, slander, libel, or defamation of character is not to be tolerated on Wikipedia. True instances of such writing, which might legitimately expose Wikipedia to legal sanction, should immediately be called to the attention of an administrator and/or the community at large.

Provide evidence of your claim. Do you think the company spent 8 years and millions of dollars on nothing? You are not getting a software demonstration, that I can guarantee. If anything needs to be proven in court, then so be it. Otherwise, I am asking the editors of Wikipedia to remove the libelous (untrue) statement. OpenInfo 20:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Haikupoet, You have accused OpenInfo corporation of fraud by the use of the "v" word, and have done so in a public forum that is closely scrutinized and edited. That is enough to warrant legal action against WikiMedia Inc. I trust that the Board Of Directors would be seriously offended by your misuse of Wikipedia resources and your deviant responses. 21:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, it's been fun riding the merry go round with you, but frankly I have better things to do than argue with someone who may or may not be who they say they are about the status of a very minor software product. Haikupoet 21:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
That's good, because of sure that everyone is tired of arguing with someone about the status of their VERY minor (Haiku sized) penis.
Ok, first off, I would like to say that this is one of the better explanations I have seen on this issue. So far what I have seen has been a bunch of links and lots of running around the bush. Now, for personal basis, I believe that YOU have made it a personal vendetta, along with other admins, to kill articles at will. You have also purposly insulted User:Anticitizen_1 which was uncalled for. i have not seen ONE person try to actually help. All I've seen is the automatic "tear it down" and "delete per nom" reasoning on many AfD pages. Come on, "thebroken" gets a WHOLE wiki page? It's nothing more than what "wehatetech" is. Oh, well, it's got Kevin Rose. Everything he does is on here I have seen. My opinion is you are still lying or trying to cover something else up much more to the core of the issue.... I want to know what it is! Kmac1036 05:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Does anyone here have any sense? WHAT THREAT? "Zoe," you have proven yourself to be a prolific censor here on Wikipedia that makes a statement that can easily be twisted out of context. I found that story and posted on his site. I thought it was interesting, to say the least. All we asked for was a reason. All we asked for was the process that was followed. All we asked for was the TRUTH, which you seem dedicated to hiding from us. Kmac1036 20:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
N.B. - I am NOT done. I am NOT finished. I am NOT leaving until people are treated fairly! I could care less about the wehatetech wiki article. "Xserves" knows more about the Internet and websites then what 30 admins here have forgotten over a whole lifetime. Kmac1036 20:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
You've gotten the truth, repeatedly. Whether or not you want to believe it is your choice. Fact is, Xerves chose to imply a continued crusade against Wikipedia and got whacked for it. If you don't play nice, you have to leave the sandbox. As for his level of expertise in system administration and websites, that's wholly irrelevant. Roger Waters is a musical genius, but that doesn't mean I'd want to collaborate with him if I was a prominent musician, as he's also an arrogant schmuck. The process was followed -- a vote was taken, a consensus assumed formed according to the rules of Wikipedia, and the article was deleted. Everything else has been a rearguardist battle waged by people who didn't know enough about the battlefield. Put it this way -- if Xerves is really the expert you claim he is, he should know enough to learn the lay of the land of a forum -- any forum -- before joining in.

You also have linked some things that are alreadyy linked on the page. Also, think about rewording things like "Mac-specific" to "proprietary..."

Hi -- please take another look at the article and/or the AfD; it was on my cleanup list for a long time and seeing it on AfD prompted me to do a rewrite. You were definitely right to nominate it; it was in a horrendous state, but I think the subject is, in fact, notable, and that the article as rewritten can be saved. Thanks, MCB 05:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you voted "per Urthogie." I urge you to change your vote to delete so that the article isn't kept. Even though merge is the most sensible option of them all(and its probably what we can do, even if its deleted), it seems like the most pragmatic thing to me to vote as one unified base against this POV fork. If the people who recognize its a POV fork are split between two options, the article will by default be kept. Of course, even if its deleted, we could merge it into the article on cool.-- Urthogie 18:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

This is not "possible spam" from the network. Charlie the Dog Showcase is a cartoon, not a commercial. Also the network does not engage in "vandalism".
Would The Weather Channel had aired it without the viewers knowledge, they should announce it. I think The Weather Channel paid for their own article to be edited, but had they added spam to their article would cause the network to be in trouble. There is almost 77 percent of the viewers who watch The Weather Channel.

There could be lockout on our own Weather Channel staff for 72 hours beginning on Sunday May 7th at midnight.
If they were involved? Perhaps, we could restirct access to Wikipedia from their computers at The Weather Channel at midnight on Sunday, and block their IP's, which they will not edit The Weather Channel and Intellistar article again, I apologize for the trouble that has happened. - Local on the 8's will continue to air during the lockout after Sundays until it expires in 72 hours.

I think that you are a true meteorologist or weatherman. if you fail to not insist the dog character is crap on the air to the entire TWC staff, I will not watch The Weather Channel. Unless, you insist you are not affliated with The Weather Channel in other ways.
Also, I could accuse that radio station of lying, they probably think too soft about that character, which they deny it, but they ignore him, also I have never heard of any other NPR member station putting down nonsense, telling anyone to ignore the character or not watch him. It is sad.

Hi,
I think that your comment about Masonic editors was unfair. Although they get a little caught up in their hobby/belief system and like all of us have trouble recognising their biases the ones who commented on the AfD aren't out to hide anything. It also makes it harder to edit articles about the religious objections to Freemasonry when they believe that people are out to get them. I didn't think that your comment helped in that regard.

Hey, I wasn't wikilawyering was I? I just want things on wikipedia to be sourced reliably, or at least be confident that if someone tried hard to find a source he'd succeed. In this case it just seemed to me that beyond the basic definition of the term, there isn't much that could be found in reliable sources. I did spend quite a while looking. I am sure you are a more experienced wikipedian than I am, so I'd like to know what you think. nadav 07:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I don't know why you reverted the links I had removed from the altbier article, but please do not do it again. Also, I don't find "oy vey" a very good explanation of your reasons. Thanks for you future cooperation. Mikebe 17:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I've just looked through your contributions and see that you have done between little and nothing for the beer articles, but you (and several other non-beer contributors) seem to be on a guard for the bjcp. Why is that? (that was not a rhetorical question, I really am curious.) Mikebe 17:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Did you read my edit summary? And I'd really appreciate an answer to my question. Mikebe 18:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, I had asked why you contribute little or nothing to the beer articles, but keep an eye on bjcp links. I don't see where you've answered that, but I'll go ahead and answer you and hope that you will come back with an answer to my question.
As you know, the page you reverted the link on is not a page concerned with home-brewing. Secondly, as you correctly point out the bjcp is an American organisation and the beer in question is not American. So, I am removing the links because 1. this is not a home-brewing article (feel free to put them in the home-brewing articles where it makes some sense) and 2. because the bjcp is not an authority on foreign (non-American) beers. Creating styles for home-brewing competition is one thing, but using those styles in a general-interest encyclopedia is quite another thing. This very subject has been discussed before -- I am not on a one-man crusade. Mikebe 19:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I still don't understand why, when you rarely edit beer articles, you seem to regularly monitor bjcp links, then swope in when you find one deleted.
I agree with you that it is a good idea to give the reader some idea of what to expect when he/she prepares to try a new beer. However, where I disagree is that bjcp style guidelines, which are intended for judging home-brew competitions and nothing else, are the best way to do it. Let me give you an example: if a reader were to click the link to altbier on bjcp, the first thing they would see is this: "Aroma: Clean yet robust and complex aroma of rich malt, noble hops and restrained fruity esters. The malt character reflects German base malt varieties. The hop aroma may vary from moderate to very low, and can have a peppery, floral or perfumy character associated with noble hops. No diacetyl."
"Huh??? Esters? Diacetyl? I thought these beers were pure, not made from chemicals! What are 'noble hops? Are they any different from regular hops?" -- all perfectly logical questions for the average reader.
How exactly is that helfpul? For homebrewers like you, yes, perhaps it means something. However, I would point out to you that according to the bjcp, they have 4060 members, almost all from the US, out of popular of 300 million. Clearly, without argument (these are facts), the bjcp represents a very tiny part of the US population. Furthermore, you may think what you like, however, I can assure you there is nothing like the bjcp in Europe. There are amateur brewers and clubs, but they do not have style guides like the bjcp and members do not promote them as relevant to the general population, as you are doing here.
If you know an alternate source for taste descriptions, fine, let's take a look. But, if you can't find any or there aren't any, let's not confuse the reader with notes that are not at all intended for the casual, non-technical person. Mikebe 07:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
First of all, bjcp = competitions (I am not aware of any professional ones, but then, I never heard of the bjcp until I came to WP). Whether they are amateur or professional, the style guide is what is called a "competition class", not a general guide to foreign beer styles. Furthermore the bjcp is not a standards organisation, but a competition organisation. It is US-based, US-centric and not recognised outside the US. Furthermore, we have had discussions like this before, interestingly enough with other members of the bjcp fan club, and a WP admin offered this view: "I am forced to conclude that a) the emphasis on American beer style guides is undue weight and thus not NPOV"
As far as the technical document is concerned, are you seriously equating drinking beer with discussing scientific papers and standards?
And finally, I know you won't like to hear this, but for many of the European beers described by the bjcp, they are just plain wrong. So, overly technical and often incorrect as well -- and you think WP should offer this to the general reader? Mikebe 09:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I started the glossary of sumo terms for the specific reason that there were too many stubs out there about sumo giving too little info. When I went to chankonabe, I suspected I would find a much better article and wouldn't feel the need to redirect to the glossary. But I found a few paltry lines, with almost zero mention of it's "life outside of the sumo world", so I figured it was better to show a User who is looking it up a glossary than this "article". If you think the article has merit, it would be great if you could give the article some more substance. Malnova 20:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

When I first saw MusicalPlanet's move at National Weather Service, I was a bit suspicious, as well. But now I'm not so sure it was a biased move — and here's why.
This link gives a list of various meteorological organizations around the world, and assuming it's correct, there's no other organization named the "National Weather Service." There are less than a half dozen that even use the term "weather service" in their name, and there is only one other organization that uses the phrase "national weather service" in their name. Even that organization's real name is the "Finnish National Weather Service," rather than just the "National Weather Service."
It's unnecessary to add disambiguating terms to a title unless there's something directly in conflict. If we wanted a page about national weather services in general, it should be at "National weather service," not "National Weather Service," given that it's a unique, proper name. What do you think? — Rebelguys2 talk 22:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

You may wonder why the Digitally Imported article was nominated for an AfD. One, apparently User:Metros an administrator believes that Internet Radio has no place on Wikipedia. He deleted two stations of mine that were on the tuner, as well as the company I work for, and there Internet stations. The pages I had, all had sources.

I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don Turnbee. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Dear Haikupoet, I make the bold suggestion of "get over yourself," not only because I am awed by how my recent "strike" against wikipedia compels you to make another grandstand on my own talk page, but also because of your continued, patronizing tone, as if you know what is for my own good. Moreover, your ego seems to have precluded you from getting the true drift of what I am really saying. Unlike you, and perhaps many others on wikipedia, I don't look at the editing rules and "culture" of wikipedia as being my religion. I sure am not going to let it brainwash me, much as it seems to have done to you and many others. So, please don't suggest that I am over reacting, missing the point and so on. And no, I don't think that I have a problem with distinguishing general ideas (which are expressed in various forms on wikipedia) from my own personal experience. That is not only an arrogant suggestion, but seems to imply craziness or lack of self perception. Also, your implying that I am myopic is utterly laughable. You know nothing about me, despite a few writings. Perhaps, the problem with you and other people on wikipedia is that you don't understand the basis of true knowledge and wisdom, versus the illusion of it. This is why I made my point to which you felt the urge to respond; but, sadly, to which you cannot seem to truly fathom. Believe me, I have thought about this well enough and then decided that wikipedia is not for me. I heard warnings about wikipedia long before you and othrs said so, but I guess I had to see for myself. Don't flatter yourself and assume that you did it alone; as is the same for other correspondence with other editors. I have observed problems in many areas, structural forms and publishing phenomena. Because of my life experience, outside of wikipedia, I feel confident that I based such judgement on sound comparisons, as far back as to the history of the PC, desktop publishing, email, the the birth of the internet, mass media publishing, politics and so on. Yes, in my opinion, wikipedia has many problems that have yet to even be discussed or perhaps conceptualized. Therefore, my personal "strike" will last for however long as it takes wikipedia to resolve these issues, as I see fit. In this particular instance, I don't look at this writing as being an editing contribution, but simply as a response to or "talk" with you personally. Of course, you don't have to agree with me, and frankly I don't expect you to, but this is indeed my opinion and my experience at wikipedia. There are already people on wikipedia who agree with me, if you see "criticism of wikipedia." If you have any sympathy on this matter, then my only suggestion to you is to resolve such "curiosity" and venture "somewhere over the rainbow"; whereas, perhaps then you will see a different world as compared to the virtual reality in which you confide now. For me, I've been there and done that... In my world, in my experience, I've already discerned suh differences. Welcome to the new millenium Haikupoet! I hope you make a life of it and not the same mistakes. Calitalia ( talk) 08:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Calitalia

A discussion has been opened on changes that have been made to the existing Beer category system. The changes reverse the decision made by the Project in April 2006. The changes were based on agreement by only two people, and by a discussion that took place outside the Beer Project. There may be some merit in the changes, and to prevent future conflict it is important that there is some discussion of the matter.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Navigation keys, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: WASD keys. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 14:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give
Navigation keys a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the
page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article WTBU, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of classic rock radio stations. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of classic rock radio stations. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BettyCrockerPB10e.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 13:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

I made an RfC over which redirect would be most suitable.
If an article is a member of category A, and category A is a member of category B, then the article is also a member of category B. So I didn't remove any categories. You did remove a category - the most important one. If you want to put the article into redundant categories, then whatever. I won't revert that, although it's wrong. But I do object to your deleting the main category. Mirror Vax 21:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Haikupoet; I want to change your view about We Hate Tech, while we may be rough on the edges, the program keeps the highest of morals.

I don't know how the term "vaporware" came to be referenced with regards to this product, however I can assure you that OpenGCL is very much real, and has been in use by GIS developers for over 2 years. It was a project started in 1997, and took until 2003 to release. I would appreciate if Wikipedia would please remove any libelous comments about the software, or else risk legal action
165.154.136.7 20:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC) once again, please remove libelous comments or risk legal action.
FROM THAT SAME SOURCE: Similarly, slander, libel, or defamation of character is not to be tolerated on Wikipedia. True instances of such writing, which might legitimately expose Wikipedia to legal sanction, should immediately be called to the attention of an administrator and/or the community at large. Haikupoet, consider yourself warned (re: vapourware comment) 165.154.136.7 20:42, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Provide evidence of your claim. Do you think the company spent 8 years and millions of dollars on nothing? You are not getting a software demonstration, that I can guarantee. If anything needs to be proven in court, then so be it. Otherwise, I am asking the editors of Wikipedia to remove the libelous (untrue) statement. OpenInfo 20:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Haikupoet, You have accused OpenInfo corporation of fraud by the use of the "v" word, and have done so in a public forum that is closely scrutinized and edited. That is enough to warrant legal action against WikiMedia Inc. I trust that the Board Of Directors would be seriously offended by your misuse of Wikipedia resources and your deviant responses. 21:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, it's been fun riding the merry go round with you, but frankly I have better things to do than argue with someone who may or may not be who they say they are about the status of a very minor software product. Haikupoet 21:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
That's good, because of sure that everyone is tired of arguing with someone about the status of their VERY minor (Haiku sized) penis.
Ok, first off, I would like to say that this is one of the better explanations I have seen on this issue. So far what I have seen has been a bunch of links and lots of running around the bush. Now, for personal basis, I believe that YOU have made it a personal vendetta, along with other admins, to kill articles at will. You have also purposly insulted User:Anticitizen_1 which was uncalled for. i have not seen ONE person try to actually help. All I've seen is the automatic "tear it down" and "delete per nom" reasoning on many AfD pages. Come on, "thebroken" gets a WHOLE wiki page? It's nothing more than what "wehatetech" is. Oh, well, it's got Kevin Rose. Everything he does is on here I have seen. My opinion is you are still lying or trying to cover something else up much more to the core of the issue.... I want to know what it is! Kmac1036 05:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Does anyone here have any sense? WHAT THREAT? "Zoe," you have proven yourself to be a prolific censor here on Wikipedia that makes a statement that can easily be twisted out of context. I found that story and posted on his site. I thought it was interesting, to say the least. All we asked for was a reason. All we asked for was the process that was followed. All we asked for was the TRUTH, which you seem dedicated to hiding from us. Kmac1036 20:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
N.B. - I am NOT done. I am NOT finished. I am NOT leaving until people are treated fairly! I could care less about the wehatetech wiki article. "Xserves" knows more about the Internet and websites then what 30 admins here have forgotten over a whole lifetime. Kmac1036 20:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
You've gotten the truth, repeatedly. Whether or not you want to believe it is your choice. Fact is, Xerves chose to imply a continued crusade against Wikipedia and got whacked for it. If you don't play nice, you have to leave the sandbox. As for his level of expertise in system administration and websites, that's wholly irrelevant. Roger Waters is a musical genius, but that doesn't mean I'd want to collaborate with him if I was a prominent musician, as he's also an arrogant schmuck. The process was followed -- a vote was taken, a consensus assumed formed according to the rules of Wikipedia, and the article was deleted. Everything else has been a rearguardist battle waged by people who didn't know enough about the battlefield. Put it this way -- if Xerves is really the expert you claim he is, he should know enough to learn the lay of the land of a forum -- any forum -- before joining in.

I realize that most or all of them do get you to the right page, but they all say "redirected from..." so and so (meaning, PCI should be Peripheral Component Interconnect... in case you don't know how to link like this, to get PCI linked, do it like this, only obviously with the brackets up against the text: PCI . You also have linked some things that are alreadyy linked on the page. Also, think about rewording things like "Mac-specific" to "proprietary..."

I noticed you voted "per Urthogie." I urge you to change your vote to delete so that the article isn't kept. Even though merge is the most sensible option of them all(and its probably what we can do, even if its deleted), it seems like the most pragmatic thing to me to vote as one unified base against this POV fork. If the people who recognize its a POV fork are split between two options, the article will by default be kept. Of course, even if its deleted, we could merge it into the article on cool.-- Urthogie 18:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

This is not "possible spam" from the network. Charlie the Dog Showcase is a cartoon, not a commercial. Also the network does not engage in "vandalism".
Would The Weather Channel had aired it without the viewers knowledge, they should announce it. I think The Weather Channel paid for their own article to be edited, but had they added spam to their article would cause the network to be in trouble. There is almost 77 percent of the viewers who watch The Weather Channel.

There could be lockout on our own Weather Channel staff for 72 hours beginning on Sunday May 7th at midnight.
If they were involved? Perhaps, we could restirct access to Wikipedia from their computers at The Weather Channel at midnight on Sunday, and block their IP's, which they will not edit The Weather Channel and Intellistar article again, I apologize for the trouble that has happened. - Local on the 8's will continue to air during the lockout after Sundays until it expires in 72 hours.

I think that you are a true meteorologist or weatherman. if you fail to not insist the dog character is crap on the air to the entire TWC staff, I will not watch The Weather Channel. Unless, you insist you are not affliated with The Weather Channel in other ways.
Also, I could accuse that radio station of lying, they probably think too soft about that character, which they deny it, but they ignore him, also I have never heard of any other NPR member station putting down nonsense, telling anyone to ignore the character or not watch him. It is sad.

Hi,
I think that your comment about Masonic editors was unfair. Although they get a little caught up in their hobby/belief system and like all of us have trouble recognising their biases the ones who commented on the AfD aren't out to hide anything. It also makes it harder to edit articles about the religious objections to Freemasonry when they believe that people are out to get them. I didn't think that your comment helped in that regard.

Hey, I wasn't wikilawyering was I? I just want things on wikipedia to be sourced reliably, or at least be confident that if someone tried hard to find a source he'd succeed. In this case it just seemed to me that beyond the basic definition of the term, there isn't much that could be found in reliable sources. I did spend quite a while looking. I am sure you are a more experienced wikipedian than I am, so I'd like to know what you think. nadav 07:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I don't know why you reverted the links I had removed from the altbier article, but please do not do it again. Also, I don't find "oy vey" a very good explanation of your reasons. Thanks for you future cooperation. Mikebe 17:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I've just looked through your contributions and see that you have done between little and nothing for the beer articles, but you (and several other non-beer contributors) seem to be on a guard for the bjcp. Why is that? (that was not a rhetorical question, I really am curious.) Mikebe 17:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Did you read my edit summary? And I'd really appreciate an answer to my question. Mikebe 18:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, I had asked why you contribute little or nothing to the beer articles, but keep an eye on bjcp links. I don't see where you've answered that, but I'll go ahead and answer you and hope that you will come back with an answer to my question.
As you know, the page you reverted the link on is not a page concerned with home-brewing. Secondly, as you correctly point out the bjcp is an American organisation and the beer in question is not American. So, I am removing the links because 1. this is not a home-brewing article (feel free to put them in the home-brewing articles where it makes some sense) and 2. because the bjcp is not an authority on foreign (non-American) beers. Creating styles for home-brewing competition is one thing, but using those styles in a general-interest encyclopedia is quite another thing. This very subject has been discussed before -- I am not on a one-man crusade. Mikebe 19:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I still don't understand why, when you rarely edit beer articles, you seem to regularly monitor bjcp links, then swope in when you find one deleted.
I agree with you that it is a good idea to give the reader some idea of what to expect when he/she prepares to try a new beer. However, where I disagree is that bjcp style guidelines, which are intended for judging home-brew competitions and nothing else, are the best way to do it. Let me give you an example: if a reader were to click the link to altbier on bjcp, the first thing they would see is this: "Aroma: Clean yet robust and complex aroma of rich malt, noble hops and restrained fruity esters. The malt character reflects German base malt varieties. The hop aroma may vary from moderate to very low, and can have a peppery, floral or perfumy character associated with noble hops. No diacetyl."
"Huh??? Esters? Diacetyl? I thought these beers were pure, not made from chemicals! What are 'noble hops? Are they any different from regular hops?" -- all perfectly logical questions for the average reader.
How exactly is that helfpul? For homebrewers like you, yes, perhaps it means something. However, I would point out to you that according to the bjcp, they have 4060 members, almost all from the US, out of popular of 300 million. Clearly, without argument (these are facts), the bjcp represents a very tiny part of the US population. Furthermore, you may think what you like, however, I can assure you there is nothing like the bjcp in Europe. There are amateur brewers and clubs, but they do not have style guides like the bjcp and members do not promote them as relevant to the general population, as you are doing here.
If you know an alternate source for taste descriptions, fine, let's take a look. But, if you can't find any or there aren't any, let's not confuse the reader with notes that are not at all intended for the casual, non-technical person. Mikebe 07:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
First of all, bjcp = competitions (I am not aware of any professional ones, but then, I never heard of the bjcp until I came to WP). Whether they are amateur or professional, the style guide is what is called a "competition class", not a general guide to foreign beer styles. Furthermore the bjcp is not a standards organisation, but a competition organisation. It is US-based, US-centric and not recognised outside the US. Furthermore, we have had discussions like this before, interestingly enough with other members of the bjcp fan club, and a WP admin offered this view: "I am forced to conclude that a) the emphasis on American beer style guides is undue weight and thus not NPOV"
As far as the technical document is concerned, are you seriously equating drinking beer with discussing scientific papers and standards?
And finally, I know you won't like to hear this, but for many of the European beers described by the bjcp, they are just plain wrong. So, overly technical and often incorrect as well -- and you think WP should offer this to the general reader? Mikebe 09:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I started the glossary of sumo terms for the specific reason that there were too many stubs out there about sumo giving too little info. When I went to chankonabe, I suspected I would find a much better article and wouldn't feel the need to redirect to the glossary. But I found a few paltry lines, with almost zero mention of it's "life outside of the sumo world", so I figured it was better to show a User who is looking it up a glossary than this "article".

When I first saw MusicalPlanet's move at National Weather Service, I was a bit suspicious, as well. But now I'm not so sure it was a biased move — and here's why.
This link gives a list of various meteorological organizations around the world, and assuming it's correct, there's no other organization named the "National Weather Service." There are less than a half dozen that even use the term "weather service" in their name, and there is only one other organization that uses the phrase "national weather service" in their name. Even that organization's real name is the "Finnish National Weather Service," rather than just the "National Weather Service."
It's unnecessary to add disambiguating terms to a title unless there's something directly in conflict. If we wanted a page about national weather services in general, it should be at "National weather service," not "National Weather Service," given that it's a unique, proper name. What do you think? — Rebelguys2 talk 22:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Haikupoet, I make the bold suggestion of "get over yourself," not only because I am awed by how my recent "strike" against wikipedia compels you to make another grandstand on my own talk page, but also because of your continued, patronizing tone, as if you know what is for my own good. Moreover, your ego seems to have precluded you from getting the true drift of what I am really saying. Unlike you, and perhaps many others on wikipedia, I don't look at the editing rules and "culture" of wikipedia as being my religion. I sure am not going to let it brainwash me, much as it seems to have done to you and many others. So, please don't suggest that I am over reacting, missing the point and so on. And no, I don't think that I have a problem with distinguishing general ideas (which are expressed in various forms on wikipedia) from my own personal experience. That is not only an arrogant suggestion, but seems to imply craziness or lack of self perception. Also, your implying that I am myopic is utterly laughable. You know nothing about me, despite a few writings. Perhaps, the problem with you and other people on wikipedia is that you don't understand the basis of true knowledge and wisdom, versus the illusion of it. This is why I made my point to which you felt the urge to respond; but, sadly, to which you cannot seem to truly fathom. Believe me, I have thought about this well enough and then decided that wikipedia is not for me. I heard warnings about wikipedia long before you and othrs said so, but I guess I had to see for myself. Don't flatter yourself and assume that you did it alone; as is the same for other correspondence with other editors. I have observed problems in many areas, structural forms and publishing phenomena. Because of my life experience, outside of wikipedia, I feel confident that I based such judgement on sound comparisons, as far back as to the history of the PC, desktop publishing, email, the the birth of the internet, mass media publishing, politics and so on. Yes, in my opinion, wikipedia has many problems that have yet to even be discussed or perhaps conceptualized. Therefore, my personal "strike" will last for however long as it takes wikipedia to resolve these issues, as I see fit. In this particular instance, I don't look at this writing as being an editing contribution, but simply as a response to or "talk" with you personally. Of course, you don't have to agree with me, and frankly I don't expect you to, but this is indeed my opinion and my experience at wikipedia. There are already people on wikipedia who agree with me, if you see "criticism of wikipedia." If you have any sympathy on this matter, then my only suggestion to you is to resolve such "curiosity" and venture "somewhere over the rainbow"; whereas, perhaps then you will see a different world as compared to the virtual reality in which you confide now. For me, I've been there and done that... In my world, in my experience, I've already discerned suh differences. Welcome to the new millenium Haikupoet! I hope you make a life of it and not the same mistakes. Calitalia ( talk) 08:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Calitalia

A discussion has been opened on changes that have been made to the existing Beer category system. The changes reverse the decision made by the Project in April 2006. The changes were based on agreement by only two people, and by a discussion that took place outside the Beer Project. There may be some merit in the changes, and to prevent future conflict it is important that there is some discussion of the matter. If you're interested, please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beer#Brewery_cats. SilkTork * YES! 15:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Navigation keys, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: WASD keys. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 14:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give
Navigation keys a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the
page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

I have nominated Navigation keys, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Navigation keys. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article WTBU, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of classic rock radio stations. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of classic rock radio stations. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:05, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BettyCrockerPB10e.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 13:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

verifiability, all biographies should be based on
reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current

speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and

Thanks for uploading
File:Tylogo2k.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Thank you for uploading File:Waytocook.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Veverve ( talk) 06:55, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
