Nice Work on answering questions at the teahouse! Today's Xtra ( talk) 18:53, 10 November 2013 (UTC) |
I was wondering if you could be my mentor. Please contact me with your decision at my talk page Here2HelpWiki ( talk) 20:03, 12 November 2013 (UTC)User
As I told the people at the Teahouse... I am a new user, but not to the [software] that wikipedia uses. I am also an editor (one month and two weeks) for The New York Times. I am an EDITOR, i do not share any [opinions] of the New York Times. I was wondering, what could I do to help Wikipedia? Here2HelpWiki ( talk) 20:21, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Where you see a variety of topics, I see a deliberate attempt to be random. Maybe he figured out some arcane way to make Wikipedia serve him up a bunch of random articles. Then that way, if someone accuses him of being a paid editor for Greening, he has a perfect alibi!
As for how I came to be aware of the article so soon after it was written, I don't recall exactly, it was kind of a coincidence. I think it was Oct. 24 I tried to create an article about Detroit Soup but Wikipedia just wouldn't let me. Then for some reason I tried to create one for Greening of Detroit and it wouldn't let me either, but I was okay with that. Then Nov. 7 I was trying to remember some other article and I was going through my browser history.
Detroit Soup is much more important than Greening of Detroit, but I guess everyone here disagrees with me on this Detroit Joseph ( talk) 00:04, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey Cullen. I thought that my background as a editor would help me succeed and help this website, but I see that there are different sets of guidelines and rules for Wikipedia. I have spent my recent daytime (I work as a editor at night) on this website, and the only things I have done are setting up a user page, setting up my talk page, and annoying editors like you with my questions. Have anything I could do that I won't screw up? Please reply on my talk page. Here2HelpWiki 3-to-talk 17:50, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Dear Jim, I am authoring my first Wikipedia article and am a nutritionist and health education teacher in East Palo Alto, CA. I recently came across an entrepreneur in silicon valley who is focused on health education and felt the urge to write my first article since he is trying to innovate in a field that I am passionate about. I have gained some feedback from a few others via the Wikipedia help desk, for which I am very grateful and have tried to incorporate all their feedback. There have also been many others who have graciously helped to improve the article by editing it.

Jim Thanks for your life line. I have a huge ammount of material on this man, but the page was started by some well intentioned folks sometime in 2006 or so, with bunch of mis information. Slowly remedying that situation. Have a nice studio picture given to me by the family and love to post on the tittle page. I am somewhat down with the content (written stuff) I am 48 years old and can research and find anything and mean anything with the help of a good librarian. I live in SF CA. heading out to taKE a walk.

This is a photo that was given to me by capt. Bottchers first cousin and only living relitive. I have the complete service record from the NMPRC in St Louis MO as well and hand written letters from people he served with and were with him the night he was killed in leyte. I have up loaded the picture just cant get it to a thumbnail size or whatever. It quite posssibly was private studio in Australia that took the picture. any suggestions will be helpfull. when you click on the currebt picture mine shows up. I did something wrong and worry to sound like a boot or child.

Jim
I am getting it. not even sure if its in commons or not just wanted to place on front of the wiki page of Hermann Bottcher. There's always been an air of conflict aroudn capt. Bottcher as he faught in spain with the internationalist brigades and was possibly a communist/anarchist. This was a jacket that followed him to the grave. There as a complete "non-policy" policy about keeping lid on these guys. OK I will upload the picture once its uploaded to english only will try and place on the site if not no big deal. I am writting book on Hermann Bottcher shoudl spend time on that EstebanMartin ( talk) 23:33, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Jim
I get it now, will work up language that this picture is only for the bio section of this page only. never know someone could use this and make money or some other disstorded purpose. I am oversoming my fears of the wiki language and its noyt that hard. I first heard about Hermann Bottcher in 1985 and in a way this project mirrors my growth and maturity with both researcching and technology. There is "no way baby" I could have gotten this far sans a computer and printer. Well almost no way. any who. i will kinck some boxes/ tires and find out exactly how to word this Copyright (can that be abbrviated) I am in construction as well but a very ugly side: underground pipes and other things that get burried. I will send you a link of the web page that hosts all the primary source documents on capt Bottcher. I did the digging this old guy in utah put them up on line. EstebanMartin ( talk) 01:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Jim will migrate the picture to the FU section, it makes sense. sorry for the JV questions. I appreciae the hand holding. I have no doubt you work your back side off and the drive here in CA is what takes it out of you. I get now that its a 2 step process the up loading and the placemnet of the content. will send the link along later EstebanMartin ( talk) 01:45, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jim,
I've responded to your comment at Kokoschka image - possibly unfree file and will do so the other files over the next few days.
It will be great to have a detailed explanation from you as to what constitutes "publishing" a painting in copyright law. That's something I really would like to see cleared up. Perhaps we could eventually insert some guidance about that in the relevant Help files?
Thanks. Coat of Many Colours ( talk) 02:16, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Jim, when you respond can I ask you to clarify just one little thing for me? You imply in your post that copyright of an art work begins with its publication in a book or magazine and these are the details you ask for in your post. But of course the copyright of a work is vested in its creator. That's common ground. It's the artist who owns the copyright. Even when she sells the painting she still owns the copyright. Are you saying that's not so until it's reproduced in a magazine or book? Can that really be so? Coat of Many Colours ( talk) 02:48, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Greetings, Cullen328. Regarding the discussions we're having at PUF, I just wanted to let you know that I certainly didn't mean to call you paranoid, or insult you in any way. m:Avoid copyright paranoia is a very old essay here from the earliest days, and I was just referring to the idea that 100% certainty isn't always possible. We may have different opinions on how to apply policy in these particular cases (which we can discuss there), but I'm not discounting your views out of hand, and I don't mean to inadvertently insult you. All the best, – Quadell ( talk) 13:49, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

It seems I have cold feet about editing an existing article with so little knowledge of the process, especially when it requires deletion of material that is not cited. I have felt very comfortable creating new articles, which seems easier because I can be very strict about what is included based upon the reference material available. That being said the fact that I am uncomfortable digging into this article is the perfect reason to do it, and learn something.
So on to my question... If I read a paragraph in an article and can't find in line references to even something as simple as a birth date, Should that material simply be deleted or is there a way to flag the paragraph as having no references? It seems that it would be more appropriate than my searching for a reference to substantiate the claims. If what is written is listed on the person's own website, how does one decide if that information should or could be included in the article. I was under the impression that info from the person's website SHOULD NOT be included, and I did not use that info at all in another article that I started.
I appreciate your responses so far and any insight you could offer I will act upon to get higher on the learning curve. Scottsadventure ( talk) 06:11, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello Cullen. I have decided not to continue y reply to your comments on the talk page, because I would like a reply to my question of whether a popular science book can be considered a secondary source or not. Neither you, nor anyone else has replied. Concerning your statement about me not wanting to commit to a neutral point of view, yes, I'd like to reply. Neutral point of view means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. So, as far as I understand, but please correct me if I'm wrong, including a primary source from a reliable peer-reviewed medical publication should override a popular science book whose contents relating to the article have never been published in any such publication. But you have not answered this fundamental question. I thought what was important was the reliability of the article and its sources, but I may be mistaken.

Thanks for the apology about Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport - airport code XNA - I am sorry that there seems to have been a misunderstanding.
I only edit anything on Wiki very occasionally, usually spelling or stuff such as the present edit under discussion. I am not anxious to become a full-fledged editor, but I appreciate Wiki very much and as a literary historian I like the information I find to be as accurate as possible.
The claim that Southwest was to serve the airport came to me through airliners.net, which is not necessarily always accurate, but mostly so., civil aviation nuts so to speak. This is the thread in which it is discussed and, as you will see, reference is made to the Wiki info being removed and restored:
http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5947861/
More importantly, Southwest has announced its schedule for next summer and no mention is made (so far) of serving XNA. It does not appear in the forward schedules nor on the airline's route map as in this link:
http://www.southwest.com/html/cs/travel_center/routemap_dyn.html
It is, of course, always possible that Southwest intends to serve XNA one day, but again, it has not announced any intention of doing so. I have been to the "talk" page:
Talk:Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport
But I have not been able to work out how to provide you with this information on that page. Marinerpacific ( talk) 07:18, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Cullen328:
Along with a few colleagues, we're working on putting up new entries for New Testament scholars (like myself) who are contributing in parallel fields. My model for this was Craig Blomberg's entry.
I uploaded a pic for the entry but ran into a small copyright error that I think I've fixed. The photographer is sending in the full email.
Right now there is a flag on the entry (Gary M. Burge) that says it needs secondary sources, no doubt to verify that statements of publications are correct. I've added a few of these. Is this enough? If so, do I go onto the "view history" page and click "undo?" I'm not sure what to do here.
This page is a test case. And if all goes well, I may like to add some of our other 20th century New Testament scholars to wikipedia who have been overlooked.
I like your welcome! This is a complex world you guys live in.
I assume if you respond, it shows up in my notifications??
Thanks.

Would you please take another look and let me know your thoughts? /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Bhargav_Sri_Prakash Thank you again for your patient feedback/advice as I am still learning my way around editing articles.

Jim Thanks for your life line. I have a huge ammount of material on this man, but the page was started by some well intentioned folks sometime in 2006 or so, with bunch of mis information. Slowly remedying that situation. Have a nice studio picture given to me by the family and love to post on the tittle page. I am somewhat down with the content (written stuff) I am 48 years old and can research and find anything and mean anything with the help of a good librarian. I live in SF CA. heading out to taKE a walk.

This is a photo that was given to me by capt. Bottchers first cousin and only living relitive. I have the complete service record from the NMPRC in St Louis MO as well and hand written letters from people he served with and were with him the night he was killed in leyte. I have up loaded the picture just cant get it to a thumbnail size or whatever. It quite posssibly was private studio in Australia that took the picture. any suggestions will be helpfull. when you click on the currebt picture mine shows up. I did something wrong and worry to sound like a boot or child.
I am all for making wiki a better place and following copywrite rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EstebanMartin ( talk • contribs) 21:47, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Jim
I am getting it. not even sure if its in commons or not just wanted to place on front of the wiki page of Hermann Bottcher. There's always been an air of conflict aroudn capt. Bottcher as he faught in spain with the internationalist brigades and was possibly a communist/anarchist. This was a jacket that followed him to the grave. There as a complete "non-policy" policy about keeping lid on these guys. OK I will upload the picture once its uploaded to english only will try and place on the site if not no big deal. I am writting book on Hermann Bottcher shoudl spend time on that EstebanMartin ( talk) 23:33, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Jim
I get it now, will work up language that this picture is only for the bio section of this page only. never know someone could use this and make money or some other disstorded purpose. I am oversoming my fears of the wiki language and its noyt that hard. I first heard about Hermann Bottcher in 1985 and in a way this project mirrors my growth and maturity with both researcching and technology. There is "no way baby" I could have gotten this far sans a computer and printer. Well almost no way. any who. i will kinck some boxes/ tires and find out exactly how to word this Copyright (can that be abbrviated) I am in construction as well but a very ugly side: underground pipes and other things that get burried. I will send you a link of the web page that hosts all the primary source documents on capt Bottcher. I did the digging this old guy in utah put them up on line. EstebanMartin ( talk) 01:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Jim will migrate the picture to the FU section, it makes sense. sorry for the JV questions. I appreciae the hand holding. I have no doubt you work your back side off and the drive here in CA is what takes it out of you. I get now that its a 2 step process the up loading and the placemnet of the content. will send the link along later EstebanMartin ( talk) 01:45, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jim,
I've responded to your comment at Kokoschka image - possibly unfree file and will do so the other files over the next few days.
It will be great to have a detailed explanation from you as to what constitutes "publishing" a painting in copyright law. That's something I really would like to see cleared up. Perhaps we could eventually insert some guidance about that in the relevant Help files?
Thanks. Coat of Many Colours ( talk) 02:16, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Jim, when you respond can I ask you to clarify just one little thing for me? You imply in your post that copyright of an art work begins with its publication in a book or magazine and these are the details you ask for in your post. But of course the copyright of a work is vested in its creator. That's common ground. It's the artist who owns the copyright. Even when she sells the painting she still owns the copyright. Are you saying that's not so until it's reproduced in a magazine or book? Can that really be so? Coat of Many Colours ( talk) 02:48, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Greetings, Cullen328. Regarding the discussions we're having at PUF, I just wanted to let you know that I certainly didn't mean to call you paranoid, or insult you in any way. m:Avoid copyright paranoia is a very old essay here from the earliest days, and I was just referring to the idea that 100% certainty isn't always possible. We may have different opinions on how to apply policy in these particular cases (which we can discuss there), but I'm not discounting your views out of hand, and I don't mean to inadvertently insult you. All the best, – Quadell ( talk) 13:49, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

It seems I have cold feet about editing an existing article with so little knowledge of the process, especially when it requires deletion of material that is not cited. I have felt very comfortable creating new articles, which seems easier because I can be very strict about what is included based upon the reference material available. That being said the fact that I am uncomfortable digging into this article is the perfect reason to do it, and learn something.
So on to my question... If I read a paragraph in an article and can't find in line references to even something as simple as a birth date, Should that material simply be deleted or is there a way to flag the paragraph as having no references? It seems that it would be more appropriate than my searching for a reference to substantiate the claims. If what is written is listed on the person's own website, how does one decide if that information should or could be included in the article. I was under the impression that info from the person's website SHOULD NOT be included, and I did not use that info at all in another article that I started.
I appreciate your responses so far and any insight you could offer I will act upon to get higher on the learning curve. Scottsadventure ( talk) 06:11, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello Cullen. I have decided not to continue y reply to your comments on the talk page, because I would like a reply to my question of whether a popular science book can be considered a secondary source or not. Neither you, nor anyone else has replied. Concerning your statement about me not wanting to commit to a neutral point of view, yes, I'd like to reply. Neutral point of view means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. So, as far as I understand, but please correct me if I'm wrong, including a primary source from a reliable peer-reviewed medical publication should override a popular science book whose contents relating to the article have never been published in any such publication. But you have not answered this fundamental question. I thought what was important was the reliability of the article and its sources, but I may be mistaken.

Thanks for your quieting words at the site, care to deal with other jewish sock puppets trashing my site at "Self-Replicating Machine" where jewish media thugs have long threatened to sue me on Wikipedia and have not been banned and stolen my patented technology and good name, threatened to kill me, had me arrested and hacked my email and getting away with it in plain view?

Hi, I'm not very familiar with Wikipedia editing or the etiquette in writing on people's pages, but I also think that Tila is suffering from schizophrenia. I'm not sure if she has been properly diagnosed though, as it seems from her writing and behavior that she is unmedicated. Roastporkbun ( talk) 21:04, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the apology about Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport - airport code XNA - I am sorry that there seems to have been a misunderstanding.
I only edit anything on Wiki very occasionally, usually spelling or stuff such as the present edit under discussion. I am not anxious to become a full-fledged editor, but I appreciate Wiki very much and as a literary historian I like the information I find to be as accurate as possible.
The claim that Southwest was to serve the airport came to me through airliners.net, which is not necessarily always accurate, but mostly so., civil aviation nuts so to speak. This is the thread in which it is discussed and, as you will see, reference is made to the Wiki info being removed and restored:
http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5947861/
More importantly, Southwest has announced its schedule for next summer and no mention is made (so far) of serving XNA. It does not appear in the forward schedules nor on the airline's route map as in this link:
http://www.southwest.com/html/cs/travel_center/routemap_dyn.html
It is, of course, always possible that Southwest intends to serve XNA one day, but again, it has not announced any intention of doing so. I have been to the "talk" page:
Talk:Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport
But I have not been able to work out how to provide you with this information on that page. Marinerpacific ( talk) 07:18, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Cullen328:
Along with a few colleagues, we're working on putting up new entries for New Testament scholars (like myself) who are contributing in parallel fields. My model for this was Craig Blomberg's entry.
I uploaded a pic for the entry but ran into a small copyright error that I think I've fixed. The photographer is sending in the full email.
Right now there is a flag on the entry (Gary M. Burge) that says it needs secondary sources, no doubt to verify that statements of publications are correct. I've added a few of these. Is this enough? If so, do I go onto the "view history" page and click "undo?" I'm not sure what to do here.
This page is a test case. And if all goes well, I may like to add some of our other 20th century New Testament scholars to wikipedia who have been overlooked.
I like your welcome! This is a complex world you guys live in.
I assume if you respond, it shows up in my notifications??
Thanks.
