Ugh that would be my laziness rearing it's ugly head again, sorry! Have a question that I dont' know if you can answer. What is Wikipedia's policy of making a user's talk page a blog or an archive of a blog? There's a user that seems to be intent on doing just that. Wildthing61476 19:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Your tone is paternalistic and insulting. Did the possibility that my grievance was legitimate even cross your puny mind? Vile hypocrite!

I do not understand why links I have posted specified within External Links categories that are directly within the theme of the page, ie links to specific ski lodging alternatives for SPECIFIC ski resorts have caused me to be banned and have the links removed. There are MANY other sites on exactly the same pages that are linking to SPEFIFIC SKI RESORT Lodging that are allowed to post those links. In RESPONSE to YOUR FIRST COMMENT: THE LINKS I PROVIDED ARE NOT INAPPROPRIATE to the Topic, if you actually had taken the time to review them before just halfhazardly deleting them all.
for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vail_Ski_Resort#External_links
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Creek#External_links
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okemo_Mountain#External_links
among many others
This is going above and beyond in editing to keep the integrity of this directory
by selectively discriminating against users that are doing nothing more than offering
additional information on "EXTERNAL LINKS" of use to USERS of WIKIPEDIA

Hey there, Great job on keeping up with the commercial links. I just had a quick question for you. On the Okemo Mountain page, you removed the link to Okemo's website. Should that one be there? Thanks, Searles2sels (PJ) 17:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there
I thought I'd get in touch as you were kind enough to send me a nice message.
I'm having trouble compiling my article. I think I've followed the protocols but I'm still being told to "Wikify". I thought I'd done that but obviously my tech no-how isn't as good as my language skills. What am I missing please? Also my article seems to be target by someone who wants to brand it "unreferenced". I'm not sure what that means. I posted the article on the chap concerned because there is very little published material on him which I think wrong considering the influence he had - albeit briefly - on theatre and education in England. He tried to change alot that's wrong with a bad system and picked some big fights. I'm working on a biography now with a former student of mine who was also influenced heavily by the subject of my article.
I've provided links in the article to what is available on the net, the remnants of the Phoenix theatre website and the vestiges of the Trust website, neither of which have been edited for some time now.
What more can I do to resolve the outstanding problems please? I want to make this as strong as I can. I know the fellow is a little obscure, but he changed alot of young lives and influenced many for the better. I think it deserves a mention somewhere.
Please email me at JerichoHayes@aol.com

The help is much appreciated. Look, I've even learned to use signatures! Cheers!

Hi. Why are you restoring all the spammy links to chessworld.net? These links were all inserted by the one user (User:No65560), whose only contributions (as far as I can see) have been to insert links to chessworld.net, which to me is always suspicious behaviour. Most of the chess players' pages already have links to the players' chess games. The chessworld.net links are redundant. Rocksong 10:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

hi mr/mrs,
thanks for reply. i have decided to leave it and quit before the discussion die by deleting the article. sorry, it is not my way of discussing with anonymous strangers behind a nickname.
indeed, i perhaps miss the principle of WP. does not matter. it is not that i need to push my theory. i already defined that 3 years ago. and the word 'interreality' is already popping up. the reason of contributing a new article is that my students were asking me why the word 'interreality' was mentioned in a Secondlife report, without finding it in WP.
i am a newbee here, and for me open source and wiki is collaborating and helping eachother to get the best final result. but as i discovered now, the idea in WP is not that you and others are helping with improving and tuning the article, but only giving single-view and cut down comments. none of the comments are contributing nor cooperate in how to create an truth article for it.
so. i quit WP, i have better things to do.
thanks for reply, best, bye, --

Actually, I deleted it because it was essentially empty (one very general sentence and what looks to be an attempt at making an infobox). The other article was sent to AFD because it was more than that, and CSD A7 doesn't apply to schools (at least, I'm fairly sure it doesn't). There's a link to the deletion log on the "this article doesn't exist" page that's there now.
As for minimum requirements for a school, I'm afraid there isn't any particular guideline that says what they are (although for-profit private schools fall under WP:CORP, as they are businesses). You could try WP:SCHOOL, but it's only a proposed guideline and appears to be stalled. -- Core desat 15:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

LittleOldMe
Thanks for the kind welcome and advise. Although I condsider myself an accomplished writer and researcher from years of experience as a senior federal investigator, I am finding Wikipedia an excellerating challenge. Most specifically, I have the following questions about referencing specific materials.
I am currently participating in two articles--Fly Fishing and Prometheus Process. The Fly Fishing article is pretty straight forward and I've encountered no problems referencing existing publications. On the other hand, the Prometheus Process article is proving a bit more difficult. Although the origins and basics of the process are well referenced in published books (ISBN#), much of the process detail which I intend to include in the article is only available in copyrighted literature that is only obtainable directly from the authoring company. This literature has been available for online purchase from the publishers website and is routinely distributed to the publisher's clients. Use of the copyrighted material is not the issue, permission is freely available. My real question how to reference it. For example: One publication I would choose to reference is called" "Prometheus Process Planning and Execution Guide". Would the following cite be appropriate: Warden, John A. III, Prometheus Process Planning and Execution Guide, Venturist, Inc., Montgomery, AL, page x, 2005.

Hi there.
You probably don't recall as I'm sure you are busy with many pages and sites, but you were kind enough to help me out when I first started working on my page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert_Saxon) and I was rather hoping you might be able to offer some advice again.
After some adjustments you told me that I'd done the right thing and the page fit with ethos of Wikipedia, but I returned to it this evening to find some changes, a very poor message - which I deleted because it published names and addresses unrelated to my subject, something I thought unfair to those people - and a tag on the page about it being a fansite. I don't think it reads like a fan site at all. I have tried hard not to make it so. While I agree Saxon was/is a marginal player in the British Arts movement, he was no less so than several who have pages on wikipedia (something I checked before embarking on this page). I have given links to the company production and trust pages I have been able to find, which give more biographical detail and show his productions and efforts, have not made any unfounded claims, and continue to search for what information I can find in what time I have. So I'm a bit confused now as to the tagging and status of the page. Are you now saying that it's wrong? If so what is it that I should do to rectify this?
I'd be grateful if you could spare a little time to go through this with me as I am very confused now and i don't know who else to ask. For convenience you can just email me on jerichohayes@aol.com
Thanks very much for your time

Hi there again
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I appreciate your point and will look again, but I don't think I have been less than balanced in my approach and have reported as many of the negatives I have heard as the positives. The real problem I have (and am having with my research too) is that very little that isn't TV based or West End is widely reported and there are few archives. Just getting the details I have was hard and I have to admit part of the reasoning behind this page was the notion that others might log in and contribute or the man himself might become aware and get in touch.A long shot but there you go. The fact that most of the details are on the Charitable Trust biography site for my subject I would have thought stood for a fair bit however. Would it help for me to scan in some program notes from actual productions and add those to the page do you think? I also have some posters which I could photograph or find some other way of imaging them (they are much larger than my a4 scanner and I'm not very good with this sort of thing).I have been wary of doing such things because of copyright issues on the site. Would this be a problem?
I don't mind comments and discussions and salient points are welcome especially from someone who actually knows, has seen or has worked with my subject. The notion that I might have written something without trying to at least locate my subject is frankly moronic however. What's really bugging me at the moment is the "fansite" tag on the page, which I have been told makes it look less than worthy of attention. I'd like to remove it but I don't know how. It destroys the integrity of the piece completely and I feel will deter any possible contributors from chippping in. It's hard enough to find sources as it is (I am now in contact with the lady who added the picture which is great) without being hamstung further. As an English teacher I'm pretty sure that I have been quite openly biographical with such information as I have at my disposal. I took your point of reading through other such pages on performers and feel I've made a fair start with what I have. I don't mean to be possessive, but rather than barracking, I feel that comment and criticism should have a positive slant. It's not enough to say "that's crap". Explain what would improve it and offer assistance. The tagging I feel is thoroughly unfair. there are some pages on british theatre and television people which have far less information than I have provided.
If you can point me to examples of what you feel would be an ideal (looking at the major stars' pages was lovely, but it's easy to construct something phenomenal when you have somuch material to work with!) then I'll happily attempt to re-edit, but I would appreciate it if you could explain how to get rid of the fansite thing. It looks horrible and cheapens something I'd like to get right.
Thanks very much again for your time.

Hi there
I thought I'd get in touch as you were kind enough to send me a nice message.
I'm having trouble compiling my article. I think I've followed the protocols but I'm still being told to "Wikify". I thought I'd done that but obviously my tech no-how isn't as good as my language skills. What am I missing please? Also my article seems to be target by someone who wants to brand it "unreferenced". I'm not sure what that means. I posted the article on the chap concerned because there is very little published material on him which I think wrong considering the influence he had - albeit briefly - on theatre and education in England. He tried to change alot that's wrong with a bad system and picked some big fights. I'm working on a biography now with a former student of mine who was also influenced heavily by the subject of my article.
I've provided links in the article to what is available on the net, the remnants of the Phoenix theatre website and the vestiges of the Trust website, neither of which have been edited for some time now.

Thanks very much for the note! I had no idea there was a welcoming committee. I wasn't expecting any notice, but it's good to know Wikipedians are looking out for each other, and I'm sure I'll find the table you pointed out to me very helpful. I tried to get a feel for the rules of style before contributing, but I'll feel better editing once I have a degree of familiarity with the guidelines. I'm reading even now.
The help is much appreciated. Look, I've even learned to use signatures! Cheers!

Hi. Why are you restoring all the spammy links to chessworld.net? These links were all inserted by the one user (User:No65560), whose only contributions (as far as I can see) have been to insert links to chessworld.net, which to me is always suspicious behaviour. Most of the chess players' pages already have links to the players' chess games. The chessworld.net links are redundant. Rocksong 10:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I have checked the box "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" in my preferences, yet for my last two edits,
here and
here, I left the edit summary blank and I was not prompted. I logged out and back in between the last two edits.
Instead of offering me a prompt, an edit summary was created automatically.
Is this a bug?
If it is a bug is there somewhere to report it?

hi mr/mrs,
thanks for reply. i have decided to leave it and quit before the discussion die by deleting the article. sorry, it is not my way of discussing with anonymous strangers behind a nickname.
indeed, i perhaps miss the principle of WP. does not matter. it is not that i need to push my theory. i already defined that 3 years ago. and the word 'interreality' is already popping up. the reason of contributing a new article is that my students were asking me why the word 'interreality' was mentioned in a Secondlife report, without finding it in WP.
i am a newbee here, and for me open source and wiki is collaborating and helping eachother to get the best final result. but as i discovered now, the idea in WP is not that you and others are helping with improving and tuning the article, but only giving single-view and cut down comments. none of the comments are contributing nor cooperate in how to create an truth article for it.
so. i quit WP, i have better things to do.
thanks for reply, best, bye, --

And the page has just been re-created. If you paste the template onto the page you should see my problem. Thanks LittleOldMe 17:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I deleted it because it was essentially empty (one very general sentence and what looks to be an attempt at making an infobox). The other article was sent to AFD because it was more than that, and CSD A7 doesn't apply to schools (at least, I'm fairly sure it doesn't). There's a link to the deletion log on the "this article doesn't exist" page that's there now.
As for minimum requirements for a school, I'm afraid there isn't any particular guideline that says what they are (although for-profit private schools fall under WP:CORP, as they are businesses). You could try WP:SCHOOL, but it's only a proposed guideline and appears to be stalled. -- Core desat 15:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind welcome and advise. Although I condsider myself an accomplished writer and researcher from years of experience as a senior federal investigator, I am finding Wikipedia an excellerating challenge. Most specifically, I have the following questions about referencing specific materials.
I am currently participating in two articles--Fly Fishing and Prometheus Process. The Fly Fishing article is pretty straight forward and I've encountered no problems referencing existing publications. On the other hand, the Prometheus Process article is proving a bit more difficult. Although the origins and basics of the process are well referenced in published books (ISBN#), much of the process detail which I intend to include in the article is only available in copyrighted literature that is only obtainable directly from the authoring company. This literature has been available for online purchase from the publishers website and is routinely distributed to the publisher's clients. Use of the copyrighted material is not the issue, permission is freely available. My real question how to reference it. For example: One publication I would choose to reference is called" "Prometheus Process Planning and Execution Guide". Would the following cite be appropriate: Warden, John A. III, Prometheus Process Planning and Execution Guide, Venturist, Inc., Montgomery, AL, page x, 2005.

Hi there.
You probably don't recall as I'm sure you are busy with many pages and sites, but you were kind enough to help me out when I first started working on my page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert_Saxon) and I was rather hoping you might be able to offer some advice again.
After some adjustments you told me that I'd done the right thing and the page fit with ethos of Wikipedia, but I returned to it this evening to find some changes, a very poor message - which I deleted because it published names and addresses unrelated to my subject, something I thought unfair to those people - and a tag on the page about it being a fansite. I don't think it reads like a fan site at all. I have tried hard not to make it so. While I agree Saxon was/is a marginal player in the British Arts movement, he was no less so than several who have pages on wikipedia (something I checked before embarking on this page). I have given links to the company production and trust pages I have been able to find, which give more biographical detail and show his productions and efforts, have not made any unfounded claims, and continue to search for what information I can find in what time I have. So I'm a bit confused now as to the tagging and status of the page. Are you now saying that it's wrong? If so what is it that I should do to rectify this?
I'd be grateful if you could spare a little time to go through this with me as I am very confused now and i don't know who else to ask. For convenience you can just email me on jerichohayes@aol.com
Thanks very much for your time

Hi there again
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I appreciate your point and will look again, but I don't think I have been less than balanced in my approach and have reported as many of the negatives I have heard as the positives. The real problem I have (and am having with my research too) is that very little that isn't TV based or West End is widely reported and there are few archives. Just getting the details I have was hard and I have to admit part of the reasoning behind this page was the notion that others might log in and contribute or the man himself might become aware and get in touch.A long shot but there you go. The fact that most of the details are on the Charitable Trust biography site for my subject I would have thought stood for a fair bit however. Would it help for me to scan in some program notes from actual productions and add those to the page do you think? I also have some posters which I could photograph or find some other way of imaging them (they are much larger than my a4 scanner and I'm not very good with this sort of thing).I have been wary of doing such things because of copyright issues on the site. Would this be a problem?
I don't mind comments and discussions and salient points are welcome especially from someone who actually knows, has seen or has worked with my subject. The notion that I might have written something without trying to at least locate my subject is frankly moronic however. What's really bugging me at the moment is the "fansite" tag on the page, which I have been told makes it look less than worthy of attention. I'd like to remove it but I don't know how. It destroys the integrity of the piece completely and I feel will deter any possible contributors from chippping in. It's hard enough to find sources as it is (I am now in contact with the lady who added the picture which is great) without being hamstung further. As an English teacher I'm pretty sure that I have been quite openly biographical with such information as I have at my disposal. I took your point of reading through other such pages on performers and feel I've made a fair start with what I have. I don't mean to be possessive, but rather than barracking, I feel that comment and criticism should have a positive slant. It's not enough to say "that's crap". Explain what would improve it and offer assistance. The tagging I feel is thoroughly unfair. there are some pages on british theatre and television people which have far less information than I have provided.
If you can point me to examples of what you feel would be an ideal (looking at the major stars' pages was lovely, but it's easy to construct something phenomenal when you have somuch material to work with!) then I'll happily attempt to re-edit, but I would appreciate it if you could explain how to get rid of the fansite thing. It looks horrible and cheapens something I'd like to get right.
Thanks very much again for your time.
