My apologizes, I reverted your revert (it was my first revert ever, and I was using TW for basically for the first time). So my edit summary apparently got cut off here. I did type, "BNL, you are aware of the discussion at VP, but check out Bermi" but edit summary was cut off. The last part was going to be, "but check out Bermicourt's edit here". Bermicourt made a very valid point over there, "It sounds like you (David in DC) are saying let's abandon debate and all those on one side (i.e. who don't like flags) should now attack pages they don't approve. Is that really how Wikipedia is meant to work?"
That was why I replied at VP, "Yikes, Bermicourt has made a very valid point since policy has not been changed YET through a formal consensus process, not through discussions....{snip}.... I do support the removal of flag icons from most lists on Wikipedia. I only ask that the guideline be changed via consensus so I can defend the removal of flag icons to the other editors -- just linking them to this ongoing discussion does no good."
Makes sense if we wait until the guideline is formally changed before everyone starts to revert and revert. Agreed? Cheers, Calvin Ty 14:41, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I have no experience whatsoever with WP:AFC; however, I'd say that such an article could be nominated for speedy deletion per G11, as that is a criterion that applies to every namespace. That said, I did not delete the page, however, because I'd rather let the AfC people deal with it, since it is nothing that needs to go as soon as possible... Sorry I was not of more help. Cheers.

Hello The Blade of the Northern Lights. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Timecamp, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to software. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 21:58, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Blade, it's going to take some time, but I hope you will eventually come around to see the problem with David in DC's editing style:
1. He makes accusations without gathering facts 2. He colludes with others, buddying up to built support 3. He makes jokes that put down others...not so funny
When I read comments like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:David_in_DC#A_bit_of_fun
This is the height of arrogance on his part. Adults on the 110 Club aren't there to "indoctrinate" others but to serve as mentors and guides. The 110 Club was founded by teenagers. Unlike other clubs discussing supercentenarians, which have monetary gambling on who is going to die next, pictures of supercentenarians as if they were dead, profanity, etc., the 110 Club has been attempting to temper the sometimes-misbehavior that is common to teenagers with adult mentorship. Here's an example of a non-mentored discussion by teens:
I have seen worse.
David in DC needs to apologize, yet again, for yet another insensitive comment that was so off base, it represents a 180-degree turn from reality. Ryoung122 22:40, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
P.S. The teens contacted me regarding their group, asking me to join. Unlike many who focus on just their career, I took time out to serve in a capacity that is leading to respect for supercentenarians and a skeptical sense that Carl Sagan called a "baloney detector." I see nothing wrong with exposing pseudo-supercentenarians as frauds when evidence shows they are.
It should also be pointed out that most of those on the 110 Club and longtime Wikipedia editors (such as Nick Ornstein, Brendan(ology), etc) were in fact Wikipedia editors first, joining the 110 Club as a place to discuss supercentenarians. I'm sending you the message but it is really directed at David in DC. Perhaps you can serve as a liasion and gently coax him to tone down his casting aspersions.
Sincerely

You recently reverted text on an article that you didn't even work on claiming it "wasn't objective". How is it possible you would know that without even the slightest knowledge of the subject. I see nothing in the articles talk pages where you have discussed that with other editors and a consensus was reached . We are dealing with a POV pushing editor right now that keeps reverting text and ou aren't participating in the solution to the problem, you are adding to it. Please participate in the articles construction by adding to it rather than adding opinion. 98.149.114.34 ( talk) 13:43, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Oh I understand your tag team with WAID (who reverted twice ) calling you in to continue his edit warring. How its mean't to trick editors into the 3RR. "Venom"?! That is the most ridiculous accusation and clearly states you have no knowledge the discussion at all. Next time, actually read the discussion section, participate if you wish but offing these opinions of that discussion without reading it and reverting without even reading the edits adds nothing to the article at all. Everything in the article was completely sourced and from the same sources WAIDs was from. If you intend to make accusations please post them where someone neutral can decide. 98.149.114.34 ( talk) 14:18, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Intimidate you?! Railing on other editors?! Utter nonsense! I've done no such thing and I challenge you to go to the article talk page and point out anywhere were I have"personally" railed on other editors. Where there is any "venom" . I'm sorry but you haven't read the article or the discussion page and you know nothing about what you have reverted. How exactly does your majoring in history apply to gender dysphoria or sexual identity issues ? Have you read TMWWBQ? No , I'm pretty sure you haven't. You saw no "venom" and I've "railed" on no one. Assuming that this is fabrication I am fairly sure . Please come on the talk page and accuse me. Well, if you aren't too "intimidated". You should know something about the article before you revert, otherwise it's pure vandalism.

Hi BOTNL -- thanks for your comment on my talk page. I actually don't think that NP patrollers are terrible people, and I'm sorry if I've been coming across that way. (I've been wondering.) Essentially --probably like many of us-- I have conflicted and contradictory views on patrolling. First, I think it's essential: if people weren't doing it, we'd be overrun with spam and vandalism and nonsense. Obviously it needs to get done, and it's good that people are willing to do it. My impression is that it's exhausting and thankless, and that patrollers often feel deluged with the sheer volume of crap that gets posted. So I have empathy for that too. On the other hand, I do think that some patrollers probably tend to bias towards false positives -- their goal is to prevent crap from appearing on Wikipedia, and I think they believe that if a few innocents get caught in the crossfire, that's okay. I, though, believe that the cost of false positives is higher than we've historically believed. We know now that the total number of active editors in the Wikimedia projects is slowly declining, that new editors are getting discouraged and quitting faster than ever before. We know that reversions and deletions of edits by new editors have been climbing over time. And when we ask people why they've quit, many of them say they were discouraged by being reverted and deleted and warned. So, I do believe that patrollers need to upwards-prioritize not shooting the nuns and tourists :-) (i.e., good faith newbies). I think in order to do that, patrollers will probably need new tools and mechanisms that support different/new actions such as moving articles (i.e., to incubators) rather than deleting them, giving friendly feedback as well as warnings, etc. etc. etc. I know there are lots of people thinking about / working on this issue, which I think is good. And by the way thank you for the link to the WIHSD essay: I don't think I'd read it before, and I liked it too :-) Sue Gardner ( talk) 20:14, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I am new to wiki and i am still learning the process so i accept i will inevitably get things wrong. the reason was under G11 promotional or advertising.

I wanted to thank you for your help with the problem i've been having. But WikiDan61 said, rather bluntly, for me to stop creating pages and i would like to know am i still allowed to put up pages if i think the person is notable, I understand that every actor can't have a page. but it can be hard for me to decide notability when everyone has diffrent views on the matter,I'm concerned if i were to put up another page WikiDan61 or another editor doesn't like, could my account be blocked, I don't want to put up pages that may be deleted, but with so many actor stub pages that are left up, deciding who to give a page to is difficult. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vincelord ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, What happens after that new article Rfc ends? What is the process?
Given the comments we have seen on that Rfc, I thought that those who "take Wikipedia seriously" should create a category of some sort. There are all kinds of groups within Wikipedia, so how about a category "Serious Wikipedians"? I see the definition as follows:

Could you explain why you requested a speedy deletion of Nicholas Holthaus within seconds of posting. You deleted it before I could vet his films with proper accreditation and sourcing. Holthaus is widely accredited by newspapers and imbd, among others. He is an established film maker.
When a new editor starts an article and fails to add sourcing, you can help by adding {{ Welcomeunsourced}} to their talk page. This is frequently more effective than merely tagging the article with {{ unsourced}}. KillerChihuahua ?!? Advice 17:39, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for asking for my opinion :) I basically agree with you - in cases of wars and battles, the most significant point to be made is who was fighting on which side. Since nations themselves didn't really take sides in an official capacity as far as I know, it doesn't really matter where the soldiers came from, only whose side they were on. The soldiers' nationalities are mentioned anyway in the articles I've looked at, and no further emphasis is required. So I'd go with your interpretation of not emphasising nationality without good reason, and if anyone objects, then a "good reason" needs to be supplied. Let me know if there's any debate, as I don't have those articles on my watchlist - there seems to be quite a few! Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Go with Kudpung's sandbox wording as being more comprehensive.

Also, I added the question as to who and how the outcome is decided. I suggest creating a page for the proposed wording, and inviting opinions on WP:CENT. Making it clear that it has been decided to implement the trial, and it is the mechanics of how to implement it that needs discussion and agreement. So make a page which describes how the trial is to be implemented and point discussion to the talkpage. SilkTork * Tea time 13:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Swiss supercentenarians until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

It says on his LTA page to block on sight, which I'd interpret to mean "take it to AIV" for us non-admins; he usually doesn't edit, he just creates accounts. When someone reports as a MascotGuy sock, you have to check the user creation log; if it's a new user creating a bunch of strangely-named accounts, it's definitely him.

Yeah i specialize in modern and semi modern history (Primairily victorian times , and the first half of the 20th century and up to the Falklands war). Dont be fooled by my youth, my knowledge of history among other things is immense (I even write my own historical books, currently im writing a biography called from Hero to Traitor about Phillippe Petain) and ill be happy to dedicate myself to wikipedia when i can. Thanks for offering your help as well and seeing my potential because some people on here tend to look down on me because of my age, which isnt really fair and for a time i was Discouraged on here and was thinking of quitting. But hopefully ill be able to put all that behind me and move on since ive befriended some experienced members on here.
So you specialise in Japanese history? Yeah i think ive heard of the Ainu people; werent they native to japan and eastern russia?
Im also pretty good with Korean history (and japan for that matter paticulary the expansion of the japanese empire from 1910-1945) since i do Tae Kwon Do, which you probably already know but its basicailly a korean millitary martial art and i speak a bit of korean since we learn the commands like attention , counting and names of differnt moves; ecetera.

Ok, i get what your saying but really this isnt a sporting event or the spanish civil war so you cant use that arguement and i think in this case it should be exempt, and by the way i think i actually added him to that list. But anywho why not just put nationality: american like it was previously?
And really i go on here on my DS sometimes to check things (i know its pretty sad ) and the flags are no problem at all, and that cant even play videos or anything like that.
I know its just a flag but it kind of brightened up the page and it was easier to sort them since you just recognise them out of the corner of your eye instead of reading the text which can be a strain and take a lot longer, paticulary if its a long list like the ww2 list.
Also with that sports case, you could just put a subheading nationality or country he plays for, a lot of players are foreign and play for other teams/countries. With due respect i still dont think it justifies its deletion, im not alone in that decision either. Goldblooded ( talk) 17:10, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

This is beginning to become rather annoying. I know we've aleady made up but lets get one thing clear,
Lets disect your arguement.
It's an offshoot of a problem that was most evident in human and animal longevity articles. The most relevant sections are here and here. One issue with using flags is that they can be misleading. For example, read the sentence, "Hideki Matsui is a baseball player in the United States"; true, but Matsui is and considers himself Japanese. Yes but you could of added a title saying nationality instead of resdience or the team he plays for , I saw a simular thing in the England world cup squad and it stated their nationality not nessarially that they are all English or indeed play for England. He only plays in the US because we have better baseball, he doesn't refer to himself as an American; sticking an American flag next to his name could lead people to think that he now considers himself to be an American. Similar things can happen with war veterans; Ernest Hemingway fought in the Spanish Civil War with Spanish forces, but was himself American.Same case scenario , put nationality or allegience. As you well know many nationalities fought in different sides in the spanish civil war. The other issue, which is far more pointed in longevity articles but still an issue here, is that nationality isn't always important. In the case of (just for fun) the war between the Red and White armies in the USSR, it doesn't really matter whether the White Army soldier was British, Russian, or American, it's more important to emphasize that the soldier fought for the Mensheviks. Well i havent seen a list of the soldiers who fought in the revolution/rcw but even still thats a different matter unlike surviivng veterans of ww2 or the spanish civil war A final small point that's worth noting is that flag icons take up a considerable amount of bandwidth because they're transcluded onto pages; the List of living supercentenarians article, before all the flag icons were removed, took my computer a lot longer to load than it does now. Even though we aren't usually supposed to worry about performance, one of the exceptions is if you notice a change, and you can confirm that it's something specific causing it.So just because your computer doesnt work you have to make it harder for everyone else? That isnt a valid point either, besides i go on here on my DS sometimes and ive had no trouble and that cant even lsiten to music or watch videos etc. I hope that helps.
Besides even your FLAGBIO arguement is flawed because it even said that....
Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country, government, or nationality
Despite all this; on a minor point , i seem to be the only person actually bothering to edit any of these articles (in paticular the ww2 vets list where since your edit virtualy NOONE has added to it , and its easier to sort; paticulary if the list is relatively long , such as that one.

My apologizes, I reverted your revert (it was my first revert ever, and I was using TW for basically for the first time). So my edit summary apparently got cut off here. I did type, "BNL, you are aware of the discussion at VP, but check out Bermi" but edit summary was cut off. The last part was going to be, "but check out Bermicourt's edit here". Bermicourt made a very valid point over there, "It sounds like you (David in DC) are saying let's abandon debate and all those on one side (i.e. who don't like flags) should now attack pages they don't approve. Is that really how Wikipedia is meant to work?"
That was why I replied at VP, "Yikes, Bermicourt has made a very valid point since policy has not been changed YET through a formal consensus process, not through discussions....{snip}.... I do support the removal of flag icons from most lists on Wikipedia. I only ask that the guideline be changed via consensus so I can defend the removal of flag icons to the other editors -- just linking them to this ongoing discussion does no good."
Makes sense if we wait until the guideline is formally changed before everyone starts to revert and revert. Agreed? Cheers, Calvin Ty 14:41, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I have no experience whatsoever with WP:AFC; however, I'd say that such an article could be nominated for speedy deletion per G11, as that is a criterion that applies to every namespace.

Blade, it's going to take some time, but I hope you will eventually come around to see the problem with David in DC's editing style:
1. He makes accusations without gathering facts 2. He colludes with others, buddying up to built support 3. He makes jokes that put down others...not so funny
When I read comments like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:David_in_DC#A_bit_of_fun
This is the height of arrogance on his part. Adults on the 110 Club aren't there to "indoctrinate" others but to serve as mentors and guides. The 110 Club was founded by teenagers. Unlike other clubs discussing supercentenarians, which have monetary gambling on who is going to die next, pictures of supercentenarians as if they were dead, profanity, etc., the 110 Club has been attempting to temper the sometimes-misbehavior that is common to teenagers with adult mentorship. Here's an example of a non-mentored discussion by teens:

David in DC needs to apologize, yet again, for yet another insensitive comment that was so off base, it represents a 180-degree turn from reality. Ryoung122 22:40, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
P.S. The teens contacted me regarding their group, asking me to join. Unlike many who focus on just their career, I took time out to serve in a capacity that is leading to respect for supercentenarians and a skeptical sense that Carl Sagan called a "baloney detector." I see nothing wrong with exposing pseudo-supercentenarians as frauds when evidence shows they are.
It should also be pointed out that most of those on the 110 Club and longtime Wikipedia editors (such as Nick Ornstein, Brendan(ology), etc) were in fact Wikipedia editors first, joining the 110 Club as a place to discuss supercentenarians. I'm sending you the message but it is really directed at David in DC. Perhaps you can serve as a liasion and gently coax him to tone down his casting aspersions.

You recently reverted text on an article that you didn't even work on claiming it "wasn't objective". How is it possible you would know that without even the slightest knowledge of the subject. I see nothing in the articles talk pages where you have discussed that with other editors and a consensus was reached . We are dealing with a POV pushing editor right now that keeps reverting text and ou aren't participating in the solution to the problem, you are adding to it.

Oh I understand your tag team with WAID (who reverted twice ) calling you in to continue his edit warring. How its mean't to trick editors into the 3RR. "Venom"?! That is the most ridiculous accusation and clearly states you have no knowledge the discussion at all. Next time, actually read the discussion section, participate if you wish but offing these opinions of that discussion without reading it and reverting without even reading the edits adds nothing to the article at all. Everything in the article was completely sourced and from the same sources WAIDs was from. If you intend to make accusations please post them where someone neutral can decide. 98.149.114.34 ( talk) 14:18, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry but you haven't read the article or the discussion page and you know nothing about what you have reverted. How exactly does your majoring in history apply to gender dysphoria or sexual identity issues ? Have you read TMWWBQ? No , I'm pretty sure you haven't. You saw no "venom" and I've "railed" on no one. Assuming that this is fabrication I am fairly sure . Please come on the talk page and accuse me. Well, if you aren't too "intimidated". You should know something about the article before you revert, otherwise it's pure vandalism.

Hi BOTNL -- thanks for your comment on my talk page. I actually don't think that NP patrollers are terrible people, and I'm sorry if I've been coming across that way. (I've been wondering.) Essentially --probably like many of us-- I have conflicted and contradictory views on patrolling. First, I think it's essential: if people weren't doing it, we'd be overrun with spam and vandalism and nonsense. Obviously it needs to get done, and it's good that people are willing to do it. My impression is that it's exhausting and thankless, and that patrollers often feel deluged with the sheer volume of crap that gets posted. So I have empathy for that too. On the other hand, I do think that some patrollers probably tend to bias towards false positives -- their goal is to prevent crap from appearing on Wikipedia, and I think they believe that if a few innocents get caught in the crossfire, that's okay. I, though, believe that the cost of false positives is higher than we've historically believed. We know now that the total number of active editors in the Wikimedia projects is slowly declining, that new editors are getting discouraged and quitting faster than ever before. We know that reversions and deletions of edits by new editors have been climbing over time. And when we ask people why they've quit, many of them say they were discouraged by being reverted and deleted and warned. So, I do believe that patrollers need to upwards-prioritize not shooting the nuns and tourists :-) (i.e., good faith newbies). I think in order to do that, patrollers will probably need new tools and mechanisms that support different/new actions such as moving articles (i.e., to incubators) rather than deleting them, giving friendly feedback as well as warnings, etc. etc. etc. I know there are lots of people thinking about / working on this issue, which I think is good. And by the way thank you for the link to the WIHSD essay: I don't think I'd read it before, and I liked it too :-) Sue Gardner ( talk) 20:14, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

PokeHomsar is just a troll. He got mad because of the Ray William Johnson deal and the fact that I wouldn't except those terrible articles as references.

I wanted to thank you for your recent complements about the recent articles i've created, However i now feel i am being singled out by WikiDan61. Everytime i create a new article he proposes it for deletion and then orders me to stop creating pages, He keeps telling me that the people are not worthy of a page, But i've checked the actor stubs category and there are countless actors with nearly no credits and they have pages. No one eles has an issue with my articles only WikiDan61, I feel i am being unfairly targeted by him, Do you have any advice on what i should be about this situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vincelord ( talk • contribs) 14:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
I wanted to thank you for your help with the problem i've been having. But WikiDan61 said, rather bluntly, for me to stop creating pages and i would like to know am i still allowed to put up pages if i think the person is notable, I understand that every actor can't have a page. but it can be hard for me to decide notability when everyone has diffrent views on the matter,I'm concerned if i were to put up another page WikiDan61 or another editor doesn't like, could my account be blocked, I don't want to put up pages that may be deleted, but with so many actor stub pages that are left up, deciding who to give a page to is difficult. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vincelord ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, What happens after that new article Rfc ends? What is the process?
Given the comments we have seen on that Rfc, I thought that those who "take Wikipedia seriously" should create a category of some sort. There are all kinds of groups within Wikipedia, so how about a category "Serious Wikipedians"? I see the definition as follows:

Could you explain why you requested a speedy deletion of Nicholas Holthaus within seconds of posting. You deleted it before I could vet his films with proper accreditation and sourcing. Holthaus is widely accredited by newspapers and imbd, among others. He is an established film maker.
When a new editor starts an article and fails to add sourcing, you can help by adding {{ Welcomeunsourced}} to their talk page. This is frequently more effective than merely tagging the article with {{ unsourced}}. KillerChihuahua ?!? Advice 17:39, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for asking for my opinion :) I basically agree with you - in cases of wars and battles, the most significant point to be made is who was fighting on which side. Since nations themselves didn't really take sides in an official capacity as far as I know, it doesn't really matter where the soldiers came from, only whose side they were on. The soldiers' nationalities are mentioned anyway in the articles I've looked at, and no further emphasis is required. So I'd go with your interpretation of not emphasising nationality without good reason, and if anyone objects, then a "good reason" needs to be supplied. Let me know if there's any debate, as I don't have those articles on my watchlist - there seems to be quite a few! Bretonbanquet ( talk) 21:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Go with Kudpung's sandbox wording as being more comprehensive. I have amended slightly, as the purpose of the trial and evaluation is to decide if this should be implemented after the trial, and that needs to be made clear. Also, I added the question as to who and how the outcome is decided. I suggest creating a page for the proposed wording, and inviting opinions on WP:CENT. Making it clear that it has been decided to implement the trial, and it is the mechanics of how to implement it that needs discussion and agreement. So make a page which describes how the trial is to be implemented and point discussion to the talkpage. SilkTork * Tea time 13:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Dont be fooled by my youth, my knowledge of history among other things is immense (I even write my own historical books, currently im writing a biography called from Hero to Traitor about Phillippe Petain) and ill be happy to dedicate myself to wikipedia when i can. Thanks for offering your help as well and seeing my potential because some people on here tend to look down on me because of my age, which isnt really fair and for a time i was Discouraged on here and was thinking of quitting. But hopefully ill be able to put all that behind me and move on since ive befriended some experienced members on here.
So you specialise in Japanese history? Yeah i think ive heard of the Ainu people; werent they native to japan and eastern russia?
Im also pretty good with Korean history (and japan for that matter paticulary the expansion of the japanese empire from 1910-1945) since i do Tae Kwon Do, which you probably already know but its basicailly a korean millitary martial art and i speak a bit of korean since we learn the commands like attention , counting and names of differnt moves; ecetera.
But anyway glad to meet you and i hope we can start off on freindly terms :) Goldblooded ( talk) 11:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Blade - I've proposed something for the GNAA COI issue at ANI, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Conclusion, decision. Several GNAA members have voted, as have two neutral editors, and myself (involved, I suppose). I'm trying to get more neutral editors to comment on the proposal (a topic ban of sorts), and was wondering - seeing as you'd already commented - if you would oblige me? As far as canvassing goes, I'm only contacting neutral editors - no-one from the anti-GNNA crowd. The Cavalry ( Message me) 22:15, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Please review deleting BalboaRV. I am trying to build an information base for a Motorhome built for only a few years in the late 60's and early 70's. I'm not promoting any company.

I noticed you removed the steroids bit out of the opening paragraph in the Jason Giambi article. Thank you. I'm not sure how much weight my opinion carries, but it doesn't need to be there. It's covered in the Balco Scandal section, so thanks for doing the right thing! Kjscotte34 ( talk) 22:47, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Hey , i assume you read my reply to you.
But anyway i was just going to say; Could you elaborate why you deleted the flags on the WW2 veterans page? Because im still not entirely sure since they have them on the WW1 version and dont forget on the FLAGS section of wikipedia it mentions birth but not allegience. They were the flags they fought for not nessarially where they were born. Goldblooded ( talk) 14:30, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
When commenting on WP:UAA, you don't have to use {{ nao}}: it doesn't really matter. — Waterfox ~talk~ 14:34, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Ok, i get what your saying but really this isnt a sporting event or the spanish civil war so you cant use that arguement and i think in this case it should be exempt, and by the way i think i actually added him to that list. But anywho why not just put nationality: american like it was previously?
And really i go on here on my DS sometimes to check things (i know its pretty sad ) and the flags are no problem at all, and that cant even play videos or anything like that.
I know its just a flag but it kind of brightened up the page and it was easier to sort them since you just recognise them out of the corner of your eye instead of reading the text which can be a strain and take a lot longer, paticulary if its a long list like the ww2 list.
Also with that sports case, you could just put a subheading nationality or country he plays for, a lot of players are foreign and play for other teams/countries. With due respect i still dont think it justifies its deletion, im not alone in that decision either. Goldblooded ( talk) 17:10, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
But ultimately it was you who removed them so really we should discuss it here and now. Goldblooded ( talk) 01:05, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm contacting you because you participated in the proposal to require autoconfirmed status in order to create articles a few months ago; and particularly because you had some interesting ideas on how to implement the trial. I have set up a discussion page for various aspects of implementing the trial at WP:ACTRIAL. Please feel free to join the discussion if you are interested. I am not initially contacting a large number of users (in an attempt to keep the discussions contained and manageable), but feel free to invite any other users who might be helpful. Thanks. —SW— comment 00:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I have observed some pretty remarkable contributions from this account. I am curious, why are you not an administrator. Pardon that you have struck me as the kind of editor who could be a good one, and that you seem qualified by a cursory review. I am working on an essay, and I believe you are of the adman class. I'd like to see you become an admin. This essay might explain, but you are exactly the kind of editor I had in mind. My76Strat ( talk) 06:52, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't have the time to get to reviewing it (I had seen it), since I'm a little busy with Hurricane Irene (your approach to your wikitime becomes different when a current event is all around you and where you live). It seems someone else already took care of it. Daniel Case ( talk) 05:11, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. It's been a little while since the last message on RfA reform, and there's been a fair amount of slow but steady progress. However, there is currently a flurry of activity due to some conversations on Jimbo's talk page.
I think we're very close to putting an idea or two forward before the community and there are at least two newer ones in the pipeline. So if you have a moment:
Thanks for reading and for any comments that you've now made.

This is beginning to become rather annoying. I know we've aleady made up but lets get one thing clear,
Lets disect your arguement.
It's an offshoot of a problem that was most evident in human and animal longevity articles. The most relevant sections are here and here. One issue with using flags is that they can be misleading. For example, read the sentence, "Hideki Matsui is a baseball player in the United States"; true, but Matsui is and considers himself Japanese. Yes but you could of added a title saying nationality instead of resdience or the team he plays for , I saw a simular thing in the England world cup squad and it stated their nationality not nessarially that they are all English or indeed play for England. He only plays in the US because we have better baseball, he doesn't refer to himself as an American; sticking an American flag next to his name could lead people to think that he now considers himself to be an American. Similar things can happen with war veterans; Ernest Hemingway fought in the Spanish Civil War with Spanish forces, but was himself American.Same case scenario , put nationality or allegience. As you well know many nationalities fought in different sides in the spanish civil war. The other issue, which is far more pointed in longevity articles but still an issue here, is that nationality isn't always important. In the case of (just for fun) the war between the Red and White armies in the USSR, it doesn't really matter whether the White Army soldier was British, Russian, or American, it's more important to emphasize that the soldier fought for the Mensheviks. Well i havent seen a list of the soldiers who fought in the revolution/rcw but even still thats a different matter unlike surviivng veterans of ww2 or the spanish civil war A final small point that's worth noting is that flag icons take up a considerable amount of bandwidth because they're transcluded onto pages; the List of living supercentenarians article, before all the flag icons were removed, took my computer a lot longer to load than it does now. Even though we aren't usually supposed to worry about performance, one of the exceptions is if you notice a change, and you can confirm that it's something specific causing it.So just because your computer doesnt work you have to make it harder for everyone else? That isnt a valid point either, besides i go on here on my DS sometimes and ive had no trouble and that cant even lsiten to music or watch videos etc. I hope that helps.
Besides even your FLAGBIO arguement is flawed because it even said that....
Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country, government, or nationality
Despite all this; on a minor point , i seem to be the only person actually bothering to edit any of these articles (in paticular the ww2 vets list where since your edit virtualy NOONE has added to it , and its easier to sort; paticulary if the list is relatively long , such as that one.
