(X-Posted) Greetings! I happened across your userpage, and thought your header was exceedingly well made. I am wondering if you'd mind me using the code as a basis for one of my own (change a few things here and there to fit my needs, but keep the overall design). Credit to be placed in the code perhaps? Thanks in advance. — Huntster « Talk • Contribs • Email» 03:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. There's a debate about how much "X-ian" one must be in order to be considered "X-American" (or X-Yian for that matter) and be categorized as such. The poll is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Rules for lists of X-Americans. Kindly weigh in! :NikoSilver: 22:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, that'll be the first article we're not bitching too much about! :-) :NikoSilver: 22:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your comment. Large scale modifications have taken place since you made it. For more details, please refer to the link above, and to the article itself. :NikoSilver: 12:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
As I haven't actually seen the Forever Charmed episode, I had read that Phoebe was pregnant with her third child. What this true/easily seen in the shot? When I was rebuffing anon-67.67, I hoped I got it right.

I know it seems like a good idea, but please don't create "Comments" headings in AfD listings. This is because the entire debate shows up on the listing for that day and having a subheading there mucks the page up. BigHaz 08:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Macarion, in reference to the bonus track material, this album does not compare to your example of Superunknown, since on that album the bonus track is physically on the disk of both the LP and the Foreign versions. With "The Open Door", the bonus track is *not* part of the physical album, and is simply a bonus being given away online. It is admittedly a fine line, but I do not see how this bonus, in this case, can be considered part of the album. I strongly believe this should be reverted back to just the regular 13 tracks, but I do not wish to be in an edit war over such a minor thing. Do what you feel is correct, but please consider my suggestion. Jump over to my talk page if you want to discuss this issue. Cheers -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Do you not understand the idea behind No Original Research? The idea that fans think it might be Lemuria, even though there is absolutely no factual basis behind the idea, has no part on that page, and is completely in the realm of speculation. I'm reverting this once again...please do not replace it without *citing* some sort of source as to why it has relevance. As for your last note, it is just as possible that the city ship's name could be "Xtmprszntwlf", but it's not being included because there's no reason to believe it actually is.

(X-Posted) Hi, saw the edit you made to the Evanescence article, removing the gallery for album covers. If the goal is to reduce the instances on the page, why not take down the covers in the article sections and leave the gallery, as it is a much nicer formatted version than existed previously and now. Just a thought. If other images are desired to replace the sectional images, they can certainly be obtained. -- Huntster T • @ • C 05:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

If we're gonna keep that image, you'd best argue for its inclusion at

because as it stands right now, it'll be deleted in a week.
Good compromise. Thanks for coming up with it. — Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 23:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for creating that, fills an important gap. Rich Farmbrough, 14:13 11 November 2006 (GMT).
(X-Posted) Okay, just updating that images are finished and everything is ready to go. I wanted to ask, though, about your Rating-10 template. The resulting image is very wide, and somewhat unwieldy with the current infoboxes. To that end, would you mind if I created some custom, smaller stars for this template, and rework the code? My thought is to reduce the size to about 60 to 70% of current, so it is longer than the other ratings, but not so wide that it doesn't fit well inside the infobox. -- Huntster T • @ • C 19:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I got into a revert contest over the word "payoff" in the SS article. I think it's OK because it's a quote. It keeps getting changed to "settlement". I put it in quotes, but still got changed. I changed it back and stuck it in discussion. Seems like people are really touchy about the word "payoff", and I don't think it is any different than "settelement". Here is my question: Do quotes from cited articles have to be NPOV? Can people change quotes just because they don't like what they say? When you get in a war like this, who makes the final decision? Are there moderators to defer to? Do you have time to go into the article and add your two cents. Thanks. Misstory 00:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Words cannot express my frustration at losing our last Evanescence image. And that after such a heated debate and a widely accepted compromise, too! Grrr... — Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 02:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello Huntster. I emailed the cover for Fallen to your MSN address, although I probably should have sent it to your wiki mail address. If that causes any problems, just let me know and I'll resend it. // Sasuke -kun 27 14:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey!
Not sure what you're trying to say with this: [quote]Hey, saw your edit at Charmed multimedia. I called it different from Region 1, as the original production is based in Region 1, rather than one of the others. Just as if a DVD was produced in Britain, everything would be different from Region 2.[/quote]
But at the top of the page it says "Most regions share the same cover art; only the covers for Seasons 3, 5 and 7 have been changed for their Region 1 releases." Which is why I changed it back to Region 1 from Region 2. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Robinepowell ( talk • contribs) 21:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Greetings! I noticed you restored the covers on the article Evanescence. This has been some debate lately, and one that needs to be settled. I take it then that scanned (aka "digitally photographed") reproductions are allowed as not falling under fair use? Or are they still fair use (despite not being originally owned by the company) are simply meet FUC? I appreciate all assistance in clearing this issue up, as we do hope to eventually raise this article to FA, or at least GA, status. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 19:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

You recently attempted to delete Category:Fictional heroines on various redirects "per WP:CFD." However, you also deleted all the other categories which still exist and have no WP:CFD template. I've fixed Layla Williams, Kristin Wells, R Dorothy Wayneright, Gwen Stacy (clone), Maggie Reed and Ramika already. If you are doing this with a bot, the bot needs to be fixed. Gimmetrow 14:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
No, the only difference between the old logo and the new one is that now the first "A" has a longer tail. Though, which one did you think was blurry? The blue-background one? That's just compression artifacting, which I can fix if it's decided to use it. Really though, I don't care which logo is used, I just thought the blue one would blend more nicely with the infobox border...and no, I *seriously* doubt the colours are going to be changing anytime soon, given how much debate and hem-hawing went into deciding the current scheme; Everyone at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums seems to agree with it. -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
As you can see Australia is getting the same cover art as Germany, which leads me to think we're all getting the same for Charmed S8. http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/791159
The Netherlands is also matching with a cover: http://www.dvd.nl/nieuws.php?id=2495
I attempted to change the "cover art" section but once again I goofed. I still need to figure out Wikipedia's "maze" of links. Lol! Robinepowell 16:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't get your message until now, after I changed it a second time. I doubt we will get a different cover for Season 8 in Canada/USA. Only odd seasons have changed. And isn't just Australia, The Netherlands too now. Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Robinepowell"
Thanks for your support with the other user "Mal". I posted a reply on my page. I just made on small change. Where it says at the top "different covers for different regions" I changed it to "a different cover for Region 1" since everyone in other countries seems to be getting the same cover. Robinepowell 09:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Hey, just saw your modification to Evanescence. While you've done a good job here, I question the necessity of devoting that much of article space to what amounts to a relatively minor early controversy. There simply does not need to be that many quotes to get across a fairly simple point. I'm going to attempt to pare it down a little, and I encourage you to find ways to do the same. Lets keep this to one large paragraph or two small ones at most, eh? Thanks! -- Huntster T • @ • C 10:48, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Hey Armando, in the future, don't archive *all* of the talk page. There were still discussions that were actively going on, and now many newer people won't be able to find them (and you aren't supposed to comment on archive pages anyway). So discussion has effectively stopped for any outstanding issues. Besides that, the page wasn't very long...look at previous archives which were twice as long as the new one. Just a tip for the future...don't archive until you have a significant number of dead topics. -- Huntster T • @ • C 06:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Just wondering, how exactly is the cover of the above image not fair use? If you are referring to the fact that Eacz12 uploaded one under CC-by-SA, that doesn't count. A scan of a copyrighted image maintains the status of the original image i.e. the one uploaded by Eacz12 was still under full copyright of Wind-up and/or Evanescence (a scan doesn't have sufficient originality to be copyrightable). If this isn't what made you say that my image wasn't fair use, please tell me what did. But I'll just point out that the image uploaded by Eacz12 has exactly the same status in copyright and he/she does not have the authority to licence it under CC-by-SA (since either way about my image, you seem to be supporting the view that he/she does). This also applies to the image of Fallen and Anywhere but home. If you do not believe me feel free to confirm this by asking at WP:COPYRIGHT but do not upload any more images under licences which you do not have the authority to issue or replace properly licenced (fair use) images with ones uploaded as such - unless you have another reason for replacing mine (again, scanning it does not give you the right to licence it) - ??????( t • c • e) 13:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Regarding Battlefront III, perhaps it would be best to AfD this article. That seems to me the most reasonable thing to do, given the complete lack of information we have on it.

(X-Posted) Great copyediting, but be careful to use American English for an American-based television show article, rather than traditionally British English terms like 'dialled' and 'manoeuvre'.

I've read through the material on the issue and while I see a number of people who wish them to be gone, I see no overwhelming majority and certainly no guideline demanding their removal. Note also that the article you linked to in the edit summary is nothing more than an essay, and cannot be considered as a guideline or otherwise.

(X-Posted) Hi Robin, just a note, I've replaced the commas you removed from Charmed. Wikidates need to be written in the form that is commonly used in the country of origin for the article. Since Charmed is filmed in the U.S. and targeted to such an audience, the article should be written in the grammer and format commonly used in the U.S. (by contrast, the article for Wicca is written in British English format because its origins were in the UK). It really doesn't matter how it is written in the article, as registered users who have set their preferences will see wikidates in their preferred formats. It is just the 90% of the rest of the world that will see it as it is written in the article. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 16:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

So THIS is how u talk here? Huh. I've been sending u emails, lol. Sorry about that.
I haven't been ignoring you, I did email you, I didn't know how to work the thing.
I most certainly have NOT been vandalising the Charmed Page. I have been improving it & you keep erasing it! I'm gonna rewrite some of it & then maybe try again. Just check your emails for my replys to your first message. I can see how you might think I was vandalising but I just typed a few things wrong & that's why they came up red. See, i typed in the CORRECT episode title & sinec it was incorrect on here, it came up as red. But don't worry, I fixed that too so they're all correct now. Well, Season 1 is, I didn't bother fixing the others coz Season 1 wouldn't stick.
Okay, in future, i will consider talking to you before I edit things, okay? Okay. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LilMizPiper ( talk • contribs) 04:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC).

Perhaps it can reflect short-lived and controversial, both of which are factual and true? If you read the link to Book of Daniel, one will see it was not just short-lived, and not just controversial, but highly controversial and that's why it was cancelled. If Goodell's family was the source for the show's writer, that seems noteworthy for his article. The writer specifically mentions in the link:
Twenty-three years ago, he began a relationship with Michael Goodell, who remains his partner to this day. Kenny was fascinated by Goodell's contradictory family: emotionally closed-off Republicans who were also socially liberal and welcoming to him. He became just as fascinated by their participation in the Episcopal Church, which he found more liberal and tolerant than Catholicism.
Daniel's family was very loosely inspired by Goodell's--"None of them are addicted to Vicodin, but there is a lot of behavior that is exciting to me in that world"--and he has studied them closely to get the Websters' interactions just right.

The first two players suspended by Goodell were the Titans Pacman Jones and the Bengals Chris Henry. He has also met with Falcons QB Michael Vick and Bears DT Tank Johnson. It has been noted by many that all of the targets of Goodell's attention have been African American. Two of which have not been convicted of any crimes since entering the NFL.
Although Goodell promised to punish teams as well, when he unveiled his new conduct policy the Bengals have had 11 arrests between May 8th 2006 and May 8th 2007. [10] Many wonder if that flurry of activity hasn't warranted any punishment, what kind of activity would warrant action.

Hey dude, look u undid the version of Evanescence that included a picture of the three remaining 'original' and in certain way 'permanent' members, cause Troy and Will Hunt will only be playing live until September of this year.. to finish the Family Values Tour, so what's the problem with the image??

(X-Posted) Hey there, this is a request to undelete Image:Rose_McGowan_07-22-06.jpg. This was not a video capture as was guessed. Image was taken at Comic-Con, where McGowan and others were taking part in a panel. The image shows a projector image, often used at such events that have a large audience, so that everyone can see the panel members. This is no different than if the panel itself was being photographed (just that the person who took the image was either a bit too far away or didn't have a clear shot of the panel members). If there are any questions, please leave a message on my Wikipedia page at en:User talk:Huntster. Thanks! -- Huntster T • @ • C 02:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Note: It was eventually determined, after much discussion on Commons, that even though this was a photograph taken at a live event, because the photograph was taken of a projector image rather than the panel themselves, the projector image would be copyright Comic-Con.

I was curious as to if this was just because of the significant number of articles using this category and that Hermes will eventually cycle through and clean those up, or if there was something else afoot.

(X-Posted) Greetings Mr Reed, hope all is sailing smoothly at BA. I've noticed you are tagging the images you are uploading with conflicting licensing tags. For example, on the images Image:Sundancer in orbit.jpg & Image:GenesisI.jpeg, you are using the tag {{ Attribution}} (which is a free-use tag) and {{ WithPermission}} (which is a fair-use tag). These two tags cannot be mixed, so it must be decided whether the image will be released as free-use (Public Domain, GDFL, or similar) or will be released as fair-use (all rights reserved, etc). Of course, Wikipedia prefers freely released media, as it can be used virtually worldwide without restriction, but the choice, of course, remains with Bigelow Aerospace as the copyright holders.
Basically, you need to review the images that you have uploaded and correct the licensing information, or they risk being deleted at any time if an administrator discovers the discrepancy. If you need any assistance with this problem, for any reason, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page and I'll do whatever I can to help. -- Huntster T • @ • C 01:49, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to respond to your editing, but here goes. Regarding the Hayley Westenra edit about having "perfect pitch" and your editing comment: Undo; how is it clear? It is specifically stated as such in the book? What page in the book? Be more clear or it will be considering original research. The incident referred to in the article is described in the book Hayley Westenra: The World at Her Feet on page 25: "Hayley's class teacher came to me and said, "[...]I've never heard a child so tone true. She's perfect" and later on the same page quoting a friend of Hayley's mother (i.e., not Hayley's class teacher), "There is this wee little thing with such an accurate voice [...] It's not hugely strong, but she just has perfect pitch." It is evident that the intent here is comments on a 6-year-old's unusual pitch accuracy and vocal quality. Nothing about this suggests that Hayley was observed to have "perfect (or absolute) pitch," and I know of no other sources (Hayley's interviews, writings, etc.) that ever claim she has absolute pitch. The writer of the main article simply misinterpreted the family friend's reported comment. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jpbrownca ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I specifically asked on last october to my Language professor at my high-school. This professor has got upper studies and knows Latin quite good, he is a teacher at high school and university in the same school. He asked me whether it was a catholic verse from the bible, because the first meaning he gave me was the one stated. But then he consulted some books and told me that was not exactly correct, and another possible translation was "Save yourselves.." because of the ending of the verb 'Servatis'. Nevertheless he was not sure. This March though, another professor, author of some books published by the school (in Mexico) told us he knew Latin. I asked him as well, and he told me he did not know exactly what did "servatis" mean, possible "save me", "save us" or as an imperative form, "save yourself". There can be no reference about that, don't you think? I tried to search in wikipedia and other sources about this particular suffix, -tis, but was unsuccessfull. My only source I have explained to you. Thanks for your time, and I hope you take this into consideration, as it is NOT an invention of mine. 189.130.123.80 17:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Again me, I know it must be boring. Ok if you visit the reference I put on the article, you will find in the news archive for July 11th, 2007, a small post that announces that they will NOT post the pictures because the management requested so, seeing as these images were leaked onto the internet without their consent. The official video release is not stated. But I think this confirms that the captions are from the video. I do not know whether I may remove my previous reference where I link to the page that holds the captions, and I'll leave that to your consideration. Again, than you for your attention. 189.188.2.95 21:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I made the edit to the Evanescence article while I wasn't logged in. I just forgot to sign in. Anyway, I do not in any way understand how marking Evanescence as a one-member band is in any way non constructive, especially with this article circulating the internet from an interview she did: From http://www.thestar.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3807713:
"I am Evanescence. I am the only original member. I have basically hired the band. Evanescence has become me. It is mine and it's exactly how I want to be."
I will be readding the tag to the article per this interview. If you still find it to be non constructive, please tell me why. Marsofel 04:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Dhaluza, excellent work on the ARCHER article, it is obvious you've put considerable effort into it. Well sourced and well written. Just one thing: while I sort of like the use of quotes in the reference templates, I don't like how they overly clutter the article body area. They aren't required for use, and I would suggest that they be removed...it shouldn't be difficult for an interested reader to locate the appropriate section in the cited text simply by searching or narrowing down based on page number or whatever. Removing them has two positives, it keeps the article body code clean and easier to handle (as I mentioned above) and keeps the citation area clean and easier for readers to use.

“ | The thing is, I'd be all for something like this if it did not require a complete reorganisation of the existing formats. While it would be a good idea to standardise the docs (I may work on that at some future date), I don't really agree with the idea of splitting into conditional subpages and getting into if-then-else statements potentially in both the doc pages and the main templates, when the doc system was created to move any of that stuff out of the template. I'd be interested in see some other editors thoughts on this. -- Huntster T • @ • C 22:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC) | ” |
The Purpose of the /doc pages method had nothing to do with clutter, but with preprocessing issues, in particular, the size limits imposed on template expansions on pages. I was both central to and outside the preprocessing issue as it was because of my nattering to CBD via emails asking things like: "why the hell are we were hiding usage in talk pages, thereby making template use inobvious (since most utility types could be explained succintly in brief) and thereby require editors to follow several links to find out how to use same." and so forth. CBD conferred with Tim! on the systems aspects when the template expansion ceiling was set at two megs, and the solution was born that fencing things off with noinclude blocks allowed both better protection of key templates (interwikis and category edits could happen in the /doc page), but also the benefit that all pages using a template would not add to the reprocessing que, only changes to the direct template used... and allowed the current semi-standardized template documentation using the /doc method. Subsequently, Ligulem took Tim! and CBDs discussion and boldly put together the first systemization of WP:DOC as a method, and about that time I had to travel for several months. But the genesis was technical more than for editor convenience, which was a side effect of my concerns. Complexity within a /doc page is irrelevant, if its ignored, hence standardisation using parserfunction tricks is not an issue.
The key is, /doc causes far less system loading, as the page is cached only after an edit to it is made, and has NO RIPPLE EFFECT on articles, while DRASTICALLY cutting the numbers of bytes sucked in as part of the preprocessing (The stuff within a 'noinclude' block gets ignored, plus multiple uses of a template [prime example is {{ tl}}, suck in multiple source code really swelling the problem when used multiple times on some page... this was a principle effect, BTW).
Subsequently, the /doc technique was exported to our sister projects via the WP:TSP project, which I founded to both improve and standardize template documentation, and share templates technology. Some sisters liked that, some didn't care, and some fought it, which dissenting factors (energy, time), soured me on all our wikis all this past summer... at the expense of standardizing the template documentation never really got off the ground. It's not a sexy thing to work on. God knows I spent many a boring night doing such upgrades on simple tools templates and such that are and were exported elsewhere. If we complicate a small set of /doc pages for multiple displaying (or category declaring, etc. lof the citations templates, at least it will be for use here 'In-house' without all the side politics issues. The techniques really don't clutter things up much anyway. My tendency to comment things a lot probably does that MORE, but leaves a clear picture of WHY [I hope!] <g>), we did a lot of that sort of editing in satisfying the various sister projects declarations of categories in WP:TSP. The issues across sister projects are political (Some projects simply do not like anything from wikipedia, period.)
Standardization is however still desirable, but the complexity of logic used inside a /doc page or (other named such page (e.g. common usage pages like {{ indent family usage}}) has no deleterious issues to that by my definitions and understanding. Per me, standardization requires a clear presentation of parameter behavior and options for the template tyro (Novice editors, or technically nonadept, including those who like staying as ignorant as possible!) plus a 'descent presentation'. Selectively disabling multiple examples in a given citation template can be replaced in an if-then-else to a link for the specific templates page... showing the greater number of examples. In short, I think it will be far far less messy than you seem to think.
How's this idea -- copy the most five or ten commonly used citations templates /doc pages to a /doc2 page. Morph those, and test the concept. That will give concrete discussable results with a clear picture of how many work arounds are needed, and an idea of exactly how much clutter is involved. At worst, failure will require a few compensentory {{ db-author}}s, but even then, we will be ahead in knowledge gained. I have some time today, if your willing to take on a helper. ttfn // Fra nkB 18:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Just reading this over after closing, I realized the easiest thing is to extract the stuff to display in the compendium into a separate subpage like my {{ Cite book/docA }} [which would be backwards to what I'm saying here and now]... that leaves all the categories and larger mass of text unmolested, but puts the compendium stuff where it can be found.
Note the test within it to only display the edit link from within the /doc2 page... an modified doc page pattern by conditional test, if you like. Hence, it's easily accessible when maintaining the doc page, and [the edit link] is otherwise invisible... when used in a compendium or the template page proper. This would limit the page changes to the extraction, replaced by the call of the new subpage inside a short succinct logic block, plus, adding such exclusionary altered doc page pattern logic in the new subpage plus the pasted in text for both displaying pages. What I just had to do in my /doc2 really just uses too many if statements for ease of both implementation and future maintenance. In short it was a pain comparatively. Dah-Ohhhh! G'night! // Fra nkB 04:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

re: Template:Convert( talk links history) (Just followed that reference answering Eziki)
FYI -- The issue with this is not breaking it up... the works are already in place in Category:Conversion templates. See the section on my talk immediately above where we've been conversing!
BUT! Looks like a sound TFD nom to tag with depreciated in favor of Eziki's family of templates would be in order.
My personal philosophy is if a tool is useful, and some find it more convenient (Since they're used to its syntax, ignorant of alternatives, etc.), then it's analogous to your local garage, where two co-workers have different tools in their respective tool boxes.
Their choice... their money spent. In this case, money equates to a volunteers time, plus the time to replace such. Even a BOT replacement has a cost in man hours. Placing an depreciate tag on it in favor of such templates using {{ template list}} links would gradually do the job and tell people what else is available when someone checks.
From what I can see by the tables, {{
Convert}}s arguments are far more cryptic than say {{
km to mi|15.4}}
(15.4 kilometres (9.6 mi))or {{
km2 to mi2|23444}}
({{
km2 to mi2|23444}}
), AND despite Eziki's comment this morning, they are coded pretty small.

(X-Posted) I noticed you recently performed a "cleanup" on the Shepard Smith article. I've partially reverted this edit because you delinked wikidates against WP:DATE#Autoformatting and linking (...kept other edits made). Any reason why you did this? -- Huntster T • @ • C 23:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Please do not run AWB over this page again, or other articles in its present configuration. It is improperly formatting line breaks by removing the backslash, which is improper HTML, and on this page in particular, it formatted one of the superscripted numbers as an actual superscript character, which is intentionally avoided. Are you using the default settings, or is this something you have set up yourself? If default, let me know and I'll have to speak with the creator of the program. -- Huntster T • @ • C 17:48, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
It was later noted by User:PEJL that this should not be done either, for a variety of reasons. For example: it results in unnecessary edits, Wikipedia automatically converts the code anyway, and it may inadvertantly convert material that was intended for a specific display.
(X-Posted) Greetings and welcome to Wikipedia as a registered editor! Your first edits, to the article Uluru, were really quite good (especially your use of the citation; for that I applaud you), but I would like to take this moment to point out a couple of things.
First, because of the wide range of English dialects used throughout the world, editors are asked to use local English for articles taking place in certain places. For example, the Uluru article should use Australian English rather than American English. For this reason I reverted your spelling change of "color" to "colour".
Second, editors must take care to make edits in a non-POV manner, neither favouring one side or another. If I may guess, it seems you favour the Creationist theory, which I respect, but please remember to not edit in such a way that might push this viewpoint. I have reworded the paragraph you added to the article to maintain a non-POV aspect, but still present the arguments raised in the journal article you cited. Remember, whether we personally believe one thing or another, both evolution and creationism are still theories, neither fully proven nor disproven except in our own minds and hearts. If you would, please take a look at my edit here and see what I mean. If you have any questions, any at all regarding editing on Wikipedia, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page and I'll assist in any way I can. Again, I officially welcome you to the website :) -- Huntster T • @ • C 07:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [2]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [3].

(X-Posted) Hey Fuzzypeg, I like the edits for the most part, though I still don't really think they need sections unto themselves, especially given how short they are...such are generally discouraged (at least that is what I've found in my time here). Perhaps these could all be placed in expanded prose under a general "Beliefs" second-tier header? However, I don't quite understand this sentence: "Some Wiccans believe in the las of karma as well as the Threefold Law." What is 'las'? In a brief search, I can only find that 'las' is another term for karma. Any help here? Also, unless a citation can be found, that particular section/sentence should probably be deleted after a week or two. -- Huntster T • @ • C 10:32, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi I just wanted to let you know that the image that was in the Prue Halliwell page can't be used to identify the actor as well.

Your editing on the Rutherford county, TN. article on the subject of the Bible park has a few errors in it. The article linked said the park will develop on land behind the Blackman United Methodist Church, but not that they support it, or proposed it. The church and pastor are against the park as a google search of the church's name and the term "bible park" would show. I'm not good at editing links, so could you edit it to show the church's pastor is against it, and they are not the sponsor of it? The church is being proposed by Armond Bar-Tur, the main financier.

I don't get your reverts here. I can add a valid source to their listing in the Supercouple article validating them as a supercouple, if that's one of your concerns on this matter. Having an internal link in their articles to the Supercouple article is no different than it being in David Beckham's article, the Katie Holmes article...and other articles of both real-life and fictional people.
I came across these articles at first because I see that they need to be improved in a major way, like so many other fictional character articles on Wikipedia, thus I made a mental note to start working on these two articles soon. My adding the Supercouple internal link was just one edit, that I saw/see no different than it being in the articles of other real-life and fictional people. I would have preferred you talk out why you object to it being added to these two articles first...before reverting my edits (with no true explanation in the edit summary, as if I'm some spam vandal). If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you state your reason here on your talk page. I'll add this talk page to my watchlist, and would prefer this issue take place here than on mine.

As the person who added the state project banners to the article, it was because the article is contained in the categories of each of those state's "Trains by state" or whatever category, which itself a subcat of the state's main category. Also, honestly, by making each state project, in a sense, interested in the article, it gives the members of those projects a reason to want to work on the article. Of course, personally, I question the value of all those trains by state categories anyway, but I'm not really in a position to demand that they all be removed.

Hello there Huntster, I'm aware that at least five different templates have recently been produced and added to pages within this general area. I'm a bit concerned that this profusion has taken place without much discussion from editors who work on these articles, and I'd suggest that this should be discussed centrally so that there is a degree of uniformity in articles within the same family. I'm writing to you because I know you have been involved with these articles quite closely. If you would like to join this discussion, please do not reply here, but go instead to the talk page I have set up for this purpose. Of course if you want to have a 1:1 discussion about this, then please do reply here or on my own talk page. Many thanks! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 00:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to said this, but you just can copy and paste code from another template without even knowing what it is. You've added some useless things, since the WikiProject is not that big.
You've also created categories like this . Category:Evanescence articles with comments] ¿? It's not even necessary that people write their reason for rating an article with "Stub" or "B" since there is already a criteria for that. Check Wikipedia:WikiProject Evanescence/Assessment. I've just created this page and deleted that field.
Now look this. You have changed all the categories in the template: Category:Top-Importance Evanescence articles -> Category:Top-importance Evanescence articles. I've already fixed all of that. Another thing you have done, is to repeat and repeat and repeat some codes like 'switch' for the categories. The template is a mess!!!!! I've also deleted the needs-infobox, since all oif the Ev articles have infoboxes, and as I've already written, this WP is small.
Another thing is the peer-review options...that options is used in WikiProjects that have their own peer review department. So I've deleted that too. Well, you may think that here Wikipedia:WikiProject Evanescence/Peer review, articles are reviewed that that's only a list of articles being reviewd by Wikipedia:Peer review.

Honestly, I'm surprised at your apparent position given Illa's non-arguments, and the history of this article. You remember the fuss with the old logo in this article? That *had* commentary as I recall, and the entire thing was removed. I think you know that text could be written about the logo and its relation to this band. The logo has been more stable than the lineup. And I might have done it had this started as a talk page request saying "hey, it would be helpful if there were some commentary on the logo, and it would be good to get that done by March when the fair use crunch happens".

Everything else is working fantastic from where you had fixed parts before, however the FIPS reference just doesn't want to include what is put into the parameter to make the reference URL work like it should. It is putting the variable name in {{{state_initials}}} instead of putting the value of the variable. If we can get that part working all else will be fixed and could start putting it into use.

Frankly, your edit summary makes no sense...yes, it affects traffic in and around Nashville, but it also affects traffic in certain ways to all the cities and towns in the state, as all major interstates and highways do nationwide. The category is normally intended for those items that are actually in the city. It isn't a big deal, but I prefer accuracy, and to me this is like putting Murfreesboro, Tennessee inside Category:Nashville, Tennessee or Category:Davidson County, Tennessee because "hey, Murfreesboro is little more than a bedroom community for Nashville!" ;) — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 02:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Can i have the reason for reversing my edits?? Evanescence's album has sold 1.9M in the US(only platinum RIAA certification) and there's source for that. Plus, there's no data for Turkish sales (there's not even an official chart) and ww sales of "Open Door" were over 4 M but didn't reach 5million copies. Also the first album of Evanescence didn't sell 110,000 copies (lol this is impossible for an international act) but it was certified 2xplatinum by IFPI. Finally, "Fallen" has sold over 13 million copies and not 15M. Thank you :-)-- Chronisgr ( talk) 23:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I am quite curious about this. Most maps don't have a proper "author" or a single individual responsible for their creation. I know the Official Michigan Department of Transportation map doesn't have an author. In fact to attribute a map to a single cartographer is the exception, not the rule. As a result of your changes, the year is the first item that shows for 13 of the maps referenced in M-35 (Michigan highway), a recent FA. A few of the other references don't have issue years known and then default to the map title first instead. I would advice that you revert your changes to account for this fact.

Hi. I thought I'd start with the merging of the remaining Stargate spaceships soon since it's been almost two weeks with no new input. Now, someone has contacted me and said that my chosen wording of "starship" sounds too much like Star Trek. So before I go ahead and make more of a naming mess, can you tell me another word that includes everything from F-302 to Tel'tak to Ancient City Ship? Spaceships in Stargate? Starcrafts in Stargate? (I'll rename the other articles accordingly then, including fixing the double redirects.) Thanks in advance. – sgeureka t• c 21:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
(X-Posted) I see you place a merge tag on the Evanescence song Lithium's article, but gave no explanation on the talk page. I can see why you would suggest such a merge, but I'd still recommend a section be started by you on the Evanescence Lithium talk page. If such a merge were to go through, I would ask for a definitive source for the information in the article, other than simply saying it came from her website (aka, a source for release date and other such info). I can perform the merge with no problem, but I would like to have that. I can't see this being a particularly controversial move, given that there is no real notability attached to the song or article, so after about a week (unless something changes), I'll take care of it. — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 03:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello. User:Loghead1 keeps adding the same two inappropriate links to the Corner Gas article. He doesn't seem to be a spammer in general, so I can't really put him or his sites on the spam noticeboard, and I'm the only user to have contacted him about this issue so I can't get an RfC for now. You also undid his edit at least once as it's obvious that the petition and "fansite" (which is really a social network site for a very restraint group of people) are inappropriate links. He added them again, despite my message on his talk page, he responded on my own talk page, claiming neither links violate the guidelines (all spammers say that of course...) and I can't remove them a third time today without violating 3RR.

Hi,
Your monobook needs to be updated to avoid an error. The convert template code has changed and it will no longer accept 'sq' or 'cu' with metric units. Thus '|sqkm|' will have to be changed to '|km2|'. All existing pages have been updated. Any new use of the template with '|sqkm|' will produce an error on the page. The code for non-metric units is unchanged and can be either '|sqft|' or '|ft2|' format.
For example:

Thanks for all the edits you just did to the Questionable Content article--cleaned up a lot of stuff! Just out of curiosity, about the bolding of the "wins" column in the awards received (I don't really mind if they're unbolded, but I'm just wondering), can that be considered a notability issue, rather than NPOV? ie, wins are more notable than nominations and should thus be more prominent? (I suppose one way of answering that would just be to remove all mention of nominations from the article entirely, and only list awards that were won...but then that seems to be basically the same thing, making the wins more prominent than the nominations.)

Hey, sorry to bother you again, but I have an admin question for you. I noticed this morning that a user named Geekyguild has been going through Wikipedia deleting all links to and mention of some online retailer called ThinkGeek; I have reverted many of these edits because he was compromising the integrity of the article by deleting URLs without paying attention to the context (breaking {{cite web}} templates, creating nonsense sentences, etc.). I also noticed that the ThinkGeek article has been marked as a candidate for speedy deletion because of (apparently) having been created by members of that retailer's staff to generate traffic for their website.

Hi Huntster,
I just wanted to know, why did you delete the redirect H20 just add water? I only ask because I've made quite a few similar redirects to different pages, and didn't know there was any problem with them. I note an editor made that exact error (number zero instead of letter O) in the post above. Adrian J. Hunter( talk• contribs) 07:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey Huntster, I created an article for Pennsylvania Wing Civil Air Patrol. I was wondering if you could stop by and proofread/edit/wave_your_magic_hand_over it. I know alot of the material is unsourced, but I'm wondering if you can think of any additional sections or if there's anything to obligatory or whatnot. I've also created pages for Hawk Mountain Ranger School and the CAP Ranger Program Thanks! Mjf3719 ( talk) 14:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Huntster:
On the Mt. Mitchell article, someone has tagged the article's image gallery with a gallery tag. I was under the assumption that this sort of tag was for text-less articles that contained only images, rather than for mere sections. Are image galleries no longer acceptable? Or is this tag applied in error? Bms4880 ( talk) 22:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Not responding...I opposed the switch to {{ WPBannerMeta}}.
I was wondering if it would be possible to restore Image:DebbyRyan.jpg temporarily so I can look at the history. The uploader of this mage initially uploaded this with a source of "camera" but it was a non-free image and he used it in a biography article ( Debby Ryan). After I pointed this out to him and tagged the image he changed source to Flicker (which is where it seems to be from) then uploaded a new image which was a copyvio. Then he went back and forth between the two. It's not the first time he's done this. [8] This editor has a long history of uploading non-free images with bad or missing FURs, invalid source data etc. He has now uploaded this image to commons, under another user name, claiming it was on his PC. [9] It was probably on his PC only because he had previously downloaded it from Flickr. I'm trying to get the image deleted since it appears to be a copyvio of this image and I'd like to be able to refer back to the Wikipedia image in support. I also think it's time something was done about this editor's ability to upload image. I've tried to help him but he just does not seem to want to follow policy. I'm not sure how to go about formally raising this issue but I'm sure I'll need an example and this is it. Otherwise I'll have to wait until the next time he tries to sneak a copyvio into an article, which probably won't be long. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 05:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Hi Nelatan, thank you for contributing to the MTSU article, however, I have reverted this addition. The event in question did not occur on the MTSU campus, but at an off-campus apartment complex. Even if it did happen on campus, I'm not sure it would warrant a mention on Wikipedia...this is after all an encyclopaedia, not a news clearing house. I actually work for MTSU Police in dispatch, and have been working with news agencies calling regarding this all evening. I confirmed with Murfreesboro police that they are the investigating agency. To be honest, I'm not sure how to respond to the mention in the news stories which states that six Indian students have been attacked in Tennessee...out of curiosity, do you know if any of these students attended MTSU, or were they at other schools? — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 04:43, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Hi Ched, just wanted to drop you a line regarding television episodes and their place on Wikipedia. I read your page, and the wiki subpage, and wanted to comment on the "community members prefering not to have individual shows listed" line. It really isn't a matter of not wanting individual shows...rather, it was decided a year ago or so that if television episodes were to have articles here, they needed to show real-world relevance and notability (along with reliable citations, as that is Wikipedia's policy) rather than just giving an episode summary, bits of trivia, and personal observations about the show in question. Anything, episode, character, etc, that displays that relevance and notability is welcome on the website. As Sgeureka has mentioned, there are several SG episode articles that are considered amongst the best articles on the site..."200" is a Featured Article, four are Good Articles, and one more is being proposed for GA status. If you want to write episode articles (for any series), use those as guidelines.
I strongly recommend you continue with your editing...don't be discouraged because this one venture didn't work out (I can't tell you how many times my edits were undone or reworked when I first started here...that's just how we learn!). Take it slow; start with smaller edits across a variety of articles and topics to get the feel for things, and work your way up as you learn more about Wiki operations. I'm more than happy to help out with any questions or problems you may have, and many others are willing to do the same (as you've learned by using the {{ help me}} template). — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 07:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Hey, just read the Communication subpage you created, and I just wanted to say it is absolutely fantastic! Very appropriate and truly accurate. I really hope others (both new here and "old-timers") will find and read that essay.

(X-Posted) I saw your comment on User talk:Fightin' Phillie, thought I would respond. Obviously I've been following this little exchange, and had my own say in it. There's no way to prevent someone from copy and pasting from one talk to another, at least no technical way. You are, of course, within your right to remove any of this material from your own talk page. It appears that the above user has departed from the site (at least by his own words), so unless he comes back and maintains his disruptive attitude, I would consider the whole thing over. If he does continue, and doesn't change his blatantly uncivil and provocative tone, I'll consider blocking him. That said, I would encourage you to be a little more civil yourself, if only to take the high road in the argument.

Hi. I just moved Stargate literature to List of Stargate literature because it's more a list than an article.

Hey Huntster,
noticed an improvement you made to an article called M. Keaton (think that right spelling, wonder if it's any relation to Alex P.). I assume that's just coincidence (I had a minor problem with it when I was trying to fix some things), but just in case I have a guardian angel out there ... thx buddy.

Would you mind unprotecting the page I recently created, which was deleted, for the second Evanescence Demo EP "Sound Asleep". I realise that I failed to provide a reference when creating the page. This was because I was short of time and intended to return to correct this later. However the page was deleted and then protected by you pretty quickly. The reference is here http://evanescencereference.info/music/ from the evanescence reference itself. All the tracks can be found here together with an interview with Lee and Moody on the subject. I can recreate the page I mage, which was sourced directly from this site, and include the reference this time. I apologise for not providing it the first time round but I assure you the information is correct. I actually own the EP myself anyhow, though I realise first-hand research is not considered on wikipedia, which is valid and reasonable. If you could unprotect the page to allow me to make the necessary edits I would be most pleased. The lack of a dedicated page for Sound Asleep is really irritating when trying to follow the Evanescence Chronology on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Athlon Duster ( talk • contribs) 07:52, 12 January 2009
(X-Posted) Hey DoxTxob, I saw that you are working to kill redirects, and I thought you might find this useful. The first is a .js bit that adds a tab to the top of the page, which highlights redirects and performs a count of their number on a page. It is at User:Huntster/monobook.js/highlightredirects.js. The second is a simple CSS change that more subtly highlights the redirects in an article (and is on all the time, as opposed to clicking a button), which is:
a.mw-redirect { color:green; font-weight:bold; }
If you are interesting and don't know how to add .js or .css stuff to your profile, let me know and I'll either step you through it or add it/them to your files, whichever you wish. Cheers! — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 07:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Huntster, I hope it's ok if I come to you with this. I recently ran across an article that I thought needed improvement through an RfC. I tried to provide input, and while I still feel the way it is currently worded - is wrong. To make a long story short, I posted a question at a blocking admin's page here, (as well as mentioning it at the retiring admin's talk page). The retiring admin. did respond, and generally feeling that an admin's advise is proper, I'm not sure in this case it was. Partly because I'm not sure ... let's just say that, - I am questioning my post to the blocked users talk page. After looking a little closer at various things, I am kind of wishing I had not posted it. My question is, would it ever be acceptable for a user (me) to remove/delete their own post to another users talk page. While I feel the article is very wrong in it's current presentation, I'm afraid that I'm stepping into a big pile of doo-doo that maybe I'd be better to avoid. I'd appreciate any input and advise that you would feel comfortable in giving. Thank you. Ched ( talk) 15:45, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Huntster! I am not sure if you knew that I am German ... well, I am. Anyway, on the German Wikipedia there is a link in the toolbox that enables you to generate and download a PDF-version of any article from the German Wikipedia. ( German Wikipedia Mainpage, look for "Werkzeuge" (tools) on the left and the "PDF-Version" link).
I know that you are not only a very smart editor of Wikipedia but that you have expert knowledge of the technical topics as well. Why is this PDF conversion feature not available in the English Wikipedia? PDF is much more neat than the printable version of an article (that is also available on the German Wikipedia as "Druckversion"). It cannot be any copyright issues for the conversion software, I assume, as they should not be much different for Germany than for other civilized countries, incl. the U.S. of A. I tried that feature a few times and I like the results. Do you think this feature can be adopted by the English Wikipedia easily? Take care, doxTxob \ talk 04:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Huntster. I wanted to drop a note on some off topic developments (sort of). I recently attended a city council meeting (at their request) regarding a database I designed and developed for emergency responders (PD, VFD, EMS). It seems that they like what I've done, and have now bumped it up to county admins to see if my work can be incorporated at a county-wide level. OK - I admit - a "toot my own horn" thing, but thought you might be mildly interested as you also perform an invaluable public service as well.
On a "downside" kind of note - I recently had to spend some time at a police station. I finally had time to visit a library (in search of documenting some info from microfilm archives of local newspapers). I hope to find enough info to make a Heidelberg Raceway article for wikipedia, but need more than what the web provides. Anyway - while I was there, (I had my wallet out to get my ID and library card out), I ended up leaving my wallet on the front desk of the library while the director showed me the sections and resources they had available. When I came back to the front desk, I found that someone had lifted my wallet! Geesh! Stealing in a library, ... almost as bad as a church! Anyway, despite my total depression - I'll continue on, and try to make Wikipedia a better place .. ;). You're probably already aware that I consider you one of Wikipedia's most valuable assets, and it makes me proud of my daughter's generation that people like you rise to the level you do (both on and off wiki).

Hey Huntster, how you doing tonight? I noticed you fixed the image/link thing on my talk page, and... history shows that the editor before you was a vandal - then unvandal. Didn't know if he really thought twice about his post - or if you removed something REALLY NASTY with one of your super-duper admin buttons.
Which reminds me of something I never figured out. When I first started, I went to my user page, and since it was blank with the edit box - I went to read about editing basics. When I came back to start my user page, there was a page there that just said lolololol. I created (or rather edited) the page, and started my wiki-career. After I learned a little more, (page history, user contribs, etc.) I came back. the lololol thing seems to be the only edit user Nickjenk ever made? Just seems very strange - any ideas?

Hey Huntster, this question is not urgent, I heard you are pretty busy. I was thinking of making the banner similar to the Arkansas project banner, with the B-class checklist in it but I do not want to do that at the location. Is it possible to do that in the user sandbox? That meta-banner also includes sub-pages, and I have no experience with that. Well, I am also not sure if anyone is interested at all.

Just in case you haven't had time to check out the vandalism of your talk page: This may be tied into an unblock request for this IP. It all seems to revolve around the edits here And in case you're wondering, I'm the one that asked Peter about what should be done on the vandalism on IRC - I know you're a big boy and can handle your own pages, but I also know you've been busy too. Hope I haven't ticked you off - just watching out for my friends. ;) — Ched ~ (yes?)/ © 01:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

per this, first thank you. But I don't understand why I was a target for that kind of crap. Is it all somehow wrapped up with the TN schools, and my wiki-friendship with you? Or is it just random luck of the draw? Not that it matters all that much, not really a big deal - just curious. — Ched ~ (yes?)/ © 10:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, what options are there for determining if a current user is actually the same person as a past user who has been blocked? I ask because the recent edit history of User:Cadet Programs and User:68.187.89.72 appear very similar to past edits by User:Braaad.

My edits to the susan boyle article are based on sources provided in the article. I have added links. She indeed had suffered learning dissabilities, due to oxygen deprivation, and was teased because of that, according to her own story, and so clearly it is not an insult to add that information. Could you please check the references instead of threatening; if you disagree with something, describe why you think something is not appropriate for biography and how does entering facts, admitted by the person violate rules (if it does). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxodon ( talk • contribs) 23:42, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Ahh ... Deep breath here. OK .. now, the legal aspects of photographs. As I understand it, if a person is a public figure, and I take a picture of him/her - then I am free to post that picture anywhere I want. So, If I took a picture of Dale Earnhardt while he was in a public forum, it's perfectly fine to post that picture here? .. am I right so far? ... Now, I take a picture that has people that are NOT public figures, but the picture was taken while they were out in public. Do I need to have a release form signed by them in order to post the picture? I have pictures from back in the 70's of race car stuff. I don't want to just upload the pics and run the risk of someone saying they didn't allow their picture to be posted in public.

Hey Huntster - hope life is treating you better than the economy is treating everyone else. ;). Had a great trip down through TN, KY, VA, Alabama etc., but didn't get as much in the line of pics as I had hoped. Was good to get away from WP for a bit I think - and I see that not much has changed in a week ... lol. I try to remember my "roots" in WP, and did want to drop in and say hi to you, and wish you well before I get too involved again in "editing" again. Also had a quick favor to ask. I know your time here is limited, but if you could look in on the SoxBot V from time to time, it may be worth keeping an eye on. I see that X! is taking a wiki-break, and there was a glitch in the admin-highlighter do-dad this morning. User:Ais523/adminrights.js >> User:Ais523/adminrights-admins.js >> User:SoxBot V/adminrights-admins.js. SoxBot V basically blanked the admin list briefly, then restored it a short time later. I'm not savy enough to know if that's a housekeeping chore or not. I did notice that it's been done before though.

[14] Should this be undone, too? Wasn't alphabetical order chosen for some reason? Also, I undid the date format change. It's a moderately common style in references to distinguish publication dates in a "regular" format and the access dates in an ISO-style format.

I am curious as to the metadata you are mining after seeing your edit at Susan Boyle. It seems to be principally related to citations... What you are doing seems quite fastidious, and not really capable of being easily automated. Are you doing it manually? Ohconfucius ( talk) 10:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
|author=
to |first=
and |last=
(where appropriate), since this generates more easily handled metadata, and even more importantly, presents the data is a uniform "last, first" format, which is the typical form we see here and elsewhere. Secondary is the proper use of the |work=
and |publisher=
fields..."work" describes the publication, "publisher" describes the company itself. Very important difference when it comes to citations. I just like uniformity, which also encapsulates my wrapping all "ref name" fields in quotation marks, which also ensures everything works properly regardless of what is included in that field. I don't personally mine metadata, but it is done, so I like to ensure everything works right for those end users. —

(for The Times) and |publisher=
(for News International Ltd). I admit to being confused when there are parameters for |first=
|last=
|author=
|coauthor=
, and exactly when these should be used. You also reorder the parameters - Is this important?
Ohconfucius (
talk) 10:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)|first=
and |last=
(note that middle names, of course, belong in the "first" field). |Author=
can be used if there is only one name, or other generic term (in the Boyle article, for example, "Staff" and a poster's username). More appropriate to use "author" in this case than "last". |coauthor=
is used when more than one author is given for a source, and should be formatted in the "last, first; last, first" style. Note the colon separating the names. As for the refnames, yeah, my style is an abbreviation of the publication plus an abbreviated ISO format, with a "-2", "-3", etc, if disambiguation is needed. Any time you need help or clarification for citations, just let me know. That is definitely my speciality on Wiki. —

Greetings Huntster! I do not only root around in the CSI/NCIS pages. I notice there is much borderline vandalism going on in the Wicca page also. I know this is difficult to control, as there are so many opinions on it. I myself am not willing to add to the page, even with solid resources, as I am still too easily p.o.'ed when people take apart my edits...but that's my own problem to deal with. Anyway, may I politely suggest a semi-protect of the page against editing by anon. IP's and new users? I do believe I've told you I would willingly give up my IP editing priveleges if Wikipedia made everyone register with a verifiable e-mail address. I want free speech as much as anyone else, but also want Wikipedia to be a reliable resource, and not just a playground for bored twits. Okay, off my soapbox now <grin>. The semi-protect of Wicca is just something for you to think about.
By the way, can you tell me exactly where I can find the section in TV Projects that says former cast members are always left in the main info box listing? All I can get from a particular admin (who only does this to one show) is "this is the way we deal with" former cast members. I want to be a good editor, but it's difficult when a request for the rules is ignored (the request was in several places - there's no way it wasn't seen). I also wonder if some shows, such as Law & Order, would not have hugely unwieldy info boxes if all former actors were listed. Thanks again for all your help. I'm not stalking you, but trying to watch your edits so I can learn how such things are done properly. And thank you for not biting me for doing things wrong. Polite responses go so much further than a "do as I say, not as I do" or "not done right, so it's being ignored". Cheers, TristaBella ( talk) 20:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey Huntster. I noticed that you updated your page recently. I wanted to mention that there was another "vandal" thingie a couple weeks ago, if you check your page history. I reverted and blocked the "editor" - and due to his reply, another admin made it an "indef". So, just saying - I guess you can up that "vandalized" thingie by one. Anyway, it seems like ages since we talked. I miss that. I know you have a busy life and all, but please don't ever forget how much I look to you for what is right. I hope you're still keeping an eye on me my friend, I've gotten a bit "bold" at times lately. Yank me back in when I get stupid please. If you're thinking about going to that Nashville "meet-up" ...

Hey Huntster, I'll double check around about the W (We're) thing.. I don't think it's a hard and fast rule, but I used to work at WKPT-TV, and the W was used in promotions when the station first signed on the air, as We're Kingsport (in fact, it was actually "We're the ones in KingsPorT," to distinguish Channel 19 from the other stations in nearby Johnson City and Bristol. I also know specifically, that WLAC in Nashville was promoted as "We're Life And Casualty," meaning the insurance company that put the station on the air, WTVC in Chattanooga was We're TeleVision Chattanooga, and WHBQ in Memphis (We Have Better Quartets--alluding to the old radio promotions). Some stations used variants of the W, as World's Best Textiles (WBT, Charlotte), and Welcome South Brother (WSB, Atlanta), but the stations that I have a list of, definitely used the W to mean "We" or "We're." I've got the list somewhere, and will forward it to you ( or the appropriate website) Csneed ( talk) 02:55, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
There is no point in a war over these pictures. I've included them both. The classic head shot is a fantastic picture, I agree. But the other user will keep adding the picture (it is back again). I moved some pictures to the gallery, and expanded the captions. I also took some out. How many salt and peppers do we need.

Ya know, I remember very early on when I was following you around and reading through your edits and stuff - trying to get a handle on how things work here. I remember this editor bickering with folks on an article, then coming here and calling you some pretty nasty names. I then saw you fix the article, with an edit summary of "Please don't edit war" ... or something to that affect. I knew then and there that this was the type of calm and cool that I wanted to embrace. But yea, ... I do love your humor too .. lol. ;) — Ched : ? 01:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I believe there was news a while back to the effect that MTSU's undergrad enrollment now exceeds UTK's. (It needs a source, but I'm pretty sure the edit you reverted in Nashville was true.)
Regardless, I don't believe that MTSU's enrollment should be discussed in Nashville -- it's in the Nashville metro area, not in Nashville per se, but that's a different (and broader) topic for discussion. -- Orlady ( talk) 16:14, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

12-Oct-09: Hello, Hunster. Wikid77 here. I'm contacting you separately because the Convert talk-page (unarchived) has become too large to focus the massive deadlock about rounding. I realize, finally, from several heated replies, that Template:Convert has been "taken over" by engineers, who obviously have hundreds of formulas depending on the current rounding and precision. They quite rightly "own" Convert, and a different conversion template is needed for general users: we cannot find a "
one size fits all" middleground within the single Template:Convert. The engineers are rightfully adamant, when thinking about the impact, of even a small change, to affect, perhaps, many of 40,000 engineering articles that consider "200 whatevers" as rounded to the nearest hundred (2 hundred). I am hoping you see the current debates as endless: the engineer viewpoint of "200", as rounded, will never match the general-public view, when they know an athlete weighed exactly 200 pounds, or have a town "exactly" 200 km away. We can't expect a novice user or young teenager to truly understand the notion to always assume 200 is rounded, just because Convert cannot "read minds" but expects people to know (surprise) "200" means plus/minus 50.
Creating
Template:Gconvert - I must create a separate variation of Convert, using just a few altered top-level templates, that shifts the level of rounding, away from the engineering measurement-brackets (plus/minus 50 in 200): this new template (don't delete it!) will be "Gconvert" (for "general-purpose convert"). Note: the original Convert will be entirely unchanged. By careful design, the new Gconvert will tie into the vast ocean of Convert's 2,410 subtemplates, but shift the rounding (away from engineers) to match what the
general public expects (Google says "32m is 105ft" not 100ft rounded). Again, I am contacting you, as an admin aware of Convert, who has also seen many people concerned about the rounding that doesn't match common notions of weight or height or Google's "32m = 105ft". I think, eventually, we can bot-edit articles containing 200, 300, 400 (etc.) to use "Gconvert" and let users know that the original Convert is (actually) an engineering tool, but the new Gconvert is for general-purpose numbers. The decision, to surrender Convert to the engineers, isn't about who has more articles, but rather concerns which articles would suffer more from changes in precision. Definitely: 40,000 engineering articles are more likely to have details tied to exact conversions, rather than in general articles. I finally realize that, to many engineers, if they said "
Pi is 100
glom-units" they would convert pi as 2.99 because "100 is an estimate" to many of them. We must let the new Gconvert become the general-purpose template that numerous people have tried to write, but finally as a template tied logically to Convert without changing anything there. This is just a heads-up notice for why another template is being created. We will avoid months of heated debates if we can allow the 2 separate viewpoints to each have their own template. Please reply below, if you have any major concerns with this proposal. Thanks. -

Hi, and I literally have no idea how that happened. Went back to check the page edit and history, and it shows the two comments gone.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I noted the absence of a reference to the ancestry of four of the lead singers of CW as having been part of Anuna. I left a comment for you at the edit but must have done it wrong. Please accept an apology for my ignorance. The comment was "Hi. I wouldn't call the info I inserted random trivia. The fact that four of the solo singers came from the ranks of Anuna is acknowledged in all of their official biographies and surely has a direct impact on their style of singing. It is surprising that this fact isn't already on the site". You undid the reference and listed it as random trivia. I think that it isn't, and that wouldn't simply be a matter of personal taste. Meav was part of Anuna for at least four years, Deirdre for at least three years, and Lynn for around four or five. I think Orla was part of that group for around a year. All four women list it on their CVs. Three of those women appear dotted as soloists all over the Anuna albums I have, and it is logical (and I suppose) correct, to assume that they were highly influenced by this group in their vocal approach to the music of Celtic Woman. It was, after all, Anuna that pioneered the "high soprano" sound in the early 1990s through their work with Riverdance, and subsequently produced the soprano vocals of Eimear Quinn, winner of Eurovision Song Contest 1996. You might also note that most of the choral singers in the background are ex-Anuna I believe. I would point out that while you may think this is random trivia, Anuna appear to be still producing something unique enough for Celtic Woman to believe otherwise. 194.46.189.195 ( talk) 23:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the removal and comment re: the use of colwidth is all about. The use of colwidth=30em is becoming widespread over the use of a specific number (with 2 or 3 being the most popular other choices). I've no clue what you're talking about when referring to the 1600px, ...and besides, even if it was true that it didn't have an effect below that, what in the world would the problem be then? Regardless, I just don't get it. I don't think that all reflists should have columns, but generally any list over 10 items long tends to benefit from column use, which is why I generally choose to add them once the list is 11 items long or longer.

Hi Hunster. It's been good working with you on Bigelow Aerospace and related articles recently. I have an unrelated request for assistance.
This afternoon I discovered an entirely new WP article, Adam Smith House, was partially based on an incorrectly titled image. I have dialoged on that talk page, made a first-pass update to the article, and placed a comment (new talk page) on the mis-titled photo file. See my contribs to get all the links. My question for you, since you have considerable wiki-image experience: How should we handle the image file where the file is plainly mistitled, and such mistitling could lead others to misuse the image file again in the future?

Hi Hunster,
The section that I deleted has nothing to do with the template. It is another wordy rant that adds nothing to the improvement of the template. The same user has made many rambling entries on the page which should have been much more concise - but as long as they are on topic, I had let them stand - I just wait for the archive bot to get them out of the way. The entry that I deleted was way off topic. It concerns editors perceived workloads (a bizarre comment to make in any case). This has nothing to do with the template. If the Wikid77 needs to talk about his concerns for other editors, let him do it in user talk space, not in template talk space. Bleakcomb ( talk) 23:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your response Huntster. I apologise for my boldness. Though, I was a little surprised to see "another admin" revert my reversion while referencing TPG. Those guidelines suggest there can be grounds for refactoring or even deleting talk page entries made by others ( section Refactoring for relevance). This would appear to contradict your comment to me of "Do not delete comments of others unless it is blatant vandalism." Wikid77's entry was an off-topic rant which doesn't exactly fit the guidelines for refactoring or deletion under the section I mentioned, though it is very close. According to the guidelines the rant needs to be on-topic rather than off-topic to be edited. The same section also suggests moving off-topic exchanges to the talk page of the editor that started the discussion. The next section suggests using the {{ Inappropriate comment}} template to tag inappropriate comments as a warning. Would either of these methods in lieu of deletion be acceptable to you as a means of improving the talk page in accordance with talk page guidelines? Bleakcomb ( talk) 00:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I had not come across the guideline or the template before either and I have been here for a little while, too! The things you learn. What discovering the guideline has done is given me something concrete with which to discuss with Wikid77 the use of the convert talk page. If you read through the guideline and then review Wikid77's additions to the page, you'll detect several problems that are described concisely in the guideline (namely conciseness and relevance). I have concerns with the style of Wikid77's comments on the page because they waste space and editor's time to read; editors are turned off by the wall-of-words and disengage from the topic being discussed and any other topic that is being or should be discussed on the page; if there is validity to Wikid77's concerns with convert (and I have some doubts), then discouraging editors with the wall-of-words will not help his case or the betterment of the template. I understand your concern that only I have objected to the edit that I reverted but I still believe the section was inappropriate for the page it was placed in. And I would be concerned that other editors would feel intimidated by the wall-of-words and less likely to speak up.
Going forward, I think I will ask Wikid77 to remove the section we disputed or to move it to his user space, or to seek his permission to do so, inline with the guideline, though it will not be today. I'll see how that tack goes.
Some feedback in good faith, if I may; reversions are permitted, edit warring is not. The strength of you response to my reversions including the suggestion that I was wrong because you (an admin) and "another admin" said so even though I had some grounds to make the deletion in the guideline referred to by Martin was heavy-handed and quite intimidatory. I have hide of medium thickness. Remember that others, including new editors, may not. Bleakcomb ( talk) 03:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I have asked Jimp to (re-)consider becoming an admin for updating Convert, and to think about it for a few days.

You are obviously extremely busy, and I'm wondering if User:Plasikspork might want to start updating dozens of those subtemplates. I had a recent 1-month block for unwise use of 2-accounts viewed as puppets, so they "hate" me, but we need to make all these trivial corrections much easier inside Convert.

While I don't really have a problem with you returning the images on the above page to the right side (I just thought it looked better), I am unaware of any Wikipedia policy requiring this, it is simply the default position.

After several days of snarky comments on his talk page, Wiki Historian N OH came back today to the Marysville, Ohio page and continued his WP:OWNing of the page. Templates were removed, sections deleted, just all around BS. I reverted and warned the user with a Warn4IM template as his edits were clearly disruptive. Since you have posted on his talk page, I thought I would bring this to your attention and ask what should be done. This is clearly an editor who isn't responding to requests to comment on his talk page and feels that he OWNs the Marysville, Ohio page and has no problem with his disruptive edits. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 21:33, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

When you parent a category the contents should all be appropriate for the parents. Once you get up to the children of Category:Eponymous categories like Category:Categories named after universities and colleges, they are generally not going to have any other parents. The categories are best covered in the main articles. As an example, people have nothing to do with the accrediting associations so that is not a valid parent. Same goes for conferences and the like. If I removed a category by accident that should have been left, then you can restore it, but I suspect this will be a very small number. Vegaswikian ( talk) 00:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

The "$45 million dollars" thing is just bizarre.

Actually, thank you so much for mentioning the "400 px on largest size" fair use limitation.

The fair use rules all seem to be scattered randomly throughout dozens of pages, so I gave up looking. But since you told me, that settles it, and my future uploads will be no larger than this. As for the Forbidden Rose poster, my apologies if I made the situation more confusing than it ought to have been.

Hi Huntster. Saw your comment on Talk:CST-100. I agree with you that a new {{ Infobox spacecraft}} is needed. I'm not sure whether creating "a template specific to human-rated transports, similar to {{ Infobox cargo spacecraft}}," is the best way to go. Let me see if I can articulate my rationale in a way that makes sense.
I think it is true that there are a number of characteristics of spacecraft that go both to and from space stations that are different than the vast majority of one-time use, launch-and-never-return spacecraft, but I'm not sure that human-rated vs. cargo is the best distinction. Other potential key distinctions include:
The class of spacecraft that I think we need a better/new template for include: CST-100, SpaceX Dragon, Dream Chaser, Orion Lite, Cygnus, the ESA Automated Transfer Vehicle, the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle, and the Russian Progress spacecraft. Thus, if we decide to create a template for something along the lines of transfer vehicles (not sure that is the best name, but maybe it is; say {{ Infobox transfer spacecraft}}), then clearly some needed parameters would include, endurance (design point for time on station), crew capable (yes/no), crew capacity (if applicable), size (length, width, height, or diameter, if round), mass, reusable (yes/no, or maybe yes by design but not yet achieved in practice, or ...), pressurized volume, unpressurized volume, launch payload, return payload, carrier rocket, crew necessary yes/no; e.g., is the crew required for docking, as I believe it was in Gemini and Apollo, maybe Soyuz, or not? Even if a transfer spacecraft is crewed, if the crew were incapacitated, could it dock? I suspect that in today's designs nearly all transfer vehicles are automated, so we don't need the automated word in the template; but maybe some designs might need humans, in which case this parm would capture that design criteria). There are others, for example, see the ESA ATV; I don't know how general those are or should be when a template is created.
One other item, in my view, within the class of transfer vehicles that can carry crew or cargo, the key distinction to be made, probably within a single template, is "crew" or no crew, not so-called "human rated". I think "human rated" gets into a bunch of POV issues that are best left out of templates, where it should just be crew yes or no, in the view of the designers or in practice, as supported by sources of course. This could affect how one names the parameters when creating a template so I thought I should put my opinion down in text. Any additional "human-rating", just like a UL seal of approval, is something additional and perhaps need not be included in a template at all, or would be picked up only in flexible yet-to-be-named template parameters on an as-needed basis.

I think you're mistaken in this diff. Taylor Swift discography, a FL, uses 1xx figures for songs that made the Bubbling Under but not the Hot 100 proper. It's a common industry shorthand to use 1xx figures to represent bubbers-under that never made the Hot 100 proper; for instance, if it peaked at #1 on Bubbling Under, most discographies list it as a #101 peak. I know Joel Whitburn uses that format, as does Mike Curb on his official website. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ( Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 03:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

1. Regarding "deceased" status of an astronaut astronaut - I would rather agree with you - the link shouldn't be there, I first detected it on Pavel Belyaev page and decided if it is allowed there it would be appropriate on Gagarin's page too. 2. Your bringing back the insignia size to 30px renders in again almost invisible, so I doubt the practicality of strict adherence to template parameters. (By the way - are you a moderator?) 3. Your accusation of my changing the template is incorrect. In fact I attempted to restore the CORRECT template. If you check my contributions in Lenoir, Gagarin and a number of other entries deceased cosmonauts - you will notice I was correcting the mistake that applies to a large number of entries on deceased cosmonauts and astronauts by reverting the erroneous line date_death it to the original template Infobox:Astronaut standard death_date, since that mistake makes the date of death invisible on the actual page. 4. Your idea of appropriateness is your personal view which has nothing to do with encyclopedic knowledge. The age at which a person dies is a relevant piece of information pertinent to a person's biography, it is used throughout Wikipedia in most other templates, mentioning it has nothing unethical about it. Infobox templates are not written in stone and can be corrected for the purposes of providing more accurate information. Given that, rather than correcting my 'mistakes' as you see them and deleting the age at which an astronaut died I suggest you correct the actual mistake in the template which prevents readers from seeing an astronaut's date of death :).-- Alvez3 ( talk) 15:09, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I saw the addition of "We Are the Fallen" on the Evanescence infobox and went right to the section you cited during its removal so that I could remove it as soon as it was posted, but I saw the line "Groups which have spun off from this group". I honestly don't recall that being there the last time "We Are the Fallen" was removed. But it's there now, and I'm just a bit confused on how it fails now. Is it just that "We Are the Fallen" is not considered a "spin-off" of Evanescence? All but one band member came from Evanescence, so I would consider it a spin-off and that's why I left it...

I understand an edit summary by you:
to assert that there should be only one official site for an organization on an article page. I didn't find that direction at Template:Official website. If official guidance is to only allow one URL, shouldn't this be more explicitly stated in the template documentation especially the phrase "for labeling links to "official" websites" from which I infer that multiple URLs of an organization are acceptable since it uses the plural. Also the mobile option already provides a second website possibility.
Nor do I see any such direction in the comments about a proposed deletion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2009_August_13#Template:Official. The comments of User:Mrwojo at Template talk:Official website/doc#Don.27t agree with use of this template ""official flag" for a link" with the Google examples seem to imply that some in the community were assuming multiple URLs on a page.
The labeling of Sidelines as official was based on it being the MTSU supported (barely) student news organization, not a commercial venture focused on the University. I would assume the same logic would apply to WMTS-FM, the student run radio station.

I'm not sure if you meant to, but your last edit to the Jeff Jacques article restored some vandalism rather than removed it. I'm guessing that there was an edit conflict that wasn't recognised but I though that I'd let you know. Mrmatiko ( talk) 09:51, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi I nominated The Open Door for GA, but now I see that it has a lot of things to fix. For ex. when the news about their third album was sent on Evanescence.com all the news before were replaced and now they're gone. That's the same with their tours. Also there is one dead link about the release of "Weight of the World" and I can't find them. Would you help me?
I appreciate your advice and am sorry that I didn't follow through with it exactly on that Nashville Wiknic page. Some person named Lara then unleashed on me and, well, you've been around enough to know...Anyway, all I wanted to do was have a picnic, but Lara's pretty much spoiled that desire. I don't understand how some people who are such sticklers for formatting are so willing to throw out entire pages of Wikipedia community standards for conduct. RexHammock 21:18, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your continuing efforts at the newly popular article Arpad Vass. FWIW, I met Vass back before he was so much of a media star (but he has been an interesting guy for a long time), and I think it is quite likely that he was born in 1959. -- Orlady ( talk) 02:03, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Huntster, I have left a longer response to your query on my talkpage, however I wanted to also ask if you would ask Mr Vandeburgh if he'd like public domain or some kind of attrib license for his works here. I was a newbie editor at the time I asked him initially, (still am really) and so I wasn't able to give him the proper choices in my request. Penyulap talk 08:23, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Your edit/comment about Nashville's 2010 population is erroneous. Final 2010 US Census figures have been available since March, and these now appear in all articles throughout Wikipedia (2009 US Census estimates are invalid). Nashville's population, defined by the Census Bureau as Nashville-Davidson minus all incorporated towns inside Nashville-Davidson, is 601,222, and that is reflected under List of United States cities by population; other consolidated cities (Jacksonville, FL and Augusta, GA) are treated the same way. The 601,222 figure for Nashville is official with the Census Bureau and will appear in all almanacs and encylopedias this year. Inflating this figure is POV/boosterism and runs counter to Wikipedia's rules. You'll note that Atlanta was estimated in 2009 to have well over 540,000 people. The actual 2010 Census showed 420,000, and Atlantans have had to accept the official population. Why can't Nashvillians and Tennesseans do the same? Mason.Jones ( talk) 14:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

File:Dr No trailer.jpg which I uploaded as a public domain property has been nominated for deletion. I followed the rationale that you provided for File:Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder.jpg, which came from the same work. Could you spare a minute or so to look over the licence and check whether I've misinterpreted the licence/rationale or whether the editor that nominated for deletion has misunderstood the reasoning? The way I see it is that both images should both go or they should both stay, since I don't see how one can be PD while the other isn't. If you can take a quick look I'd appreciate it.

(X-Posted) Macarion, in reference to the bonus track material, this album does not compare to your example of Superunknown, since on that album the bonus track is physically on the disk of both the LP and the Foreign versions. With "The Open Door", the bonus track is *not* part of the physical album, and is simply a bonus being given away online. It is admittedly a fine line, but I do not see how this bonus, in this case, can be considered part of the album. I strongly believe this should be reverted back to just the regular 13 tracks, but I do not wish to be in an edit war over such a minor thing. Do what you feel is correct, but please consider my suggestion. Jump over to my talk page if you want to discuss this issue. Cheers -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Hi, saw the edit you made to the Evanescence article, removing the gallery for album covers. If the goal is to reduce the instances on the page, why not take down the covers in the article sections and leave the gallery, as it is a much nicer formatted version than existed previously and now. Just a thought. If other images are desired to replace the sectional images, they can certainly be obtained. -- Huntster T • @ • C 05:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Okay, just updating that images are finished and everything is ready to go. I wanted to ask, though, about your Rating-10 template. The resulting image is very wide, and somewhat unwieldy with the current infoboxes. To that end, would you mind if I created some custom, smaller stars for this template, and rework the code? My thought is to reduce the size to about 60 to 70% of current, so it is longer than the other ratings, but not so wide that it doesn't fit well inside the infobox. -- Huntster T • @ • C 19:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I got into a revert contest over the word "payoff" in the SS article. I think it's OK because it's a quote. It keeps getting changed to "settlement". I put it in quotes, but still got changed. I changed it back and stuck it in discussion. Seems like people are really touchy about the word "payoff", and I don't think it is any different than "settelement". Here is my question: Do quotes from cited articles have to be NPOV? Can people change quotes just because they don't like what they say? When you get in a war like this, who makes the final decision? Are there moderators to defer to? Do you have time to go into the article and add your two cents. Thanks. Misstory 00:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey!
Not sure what you're trying to say with this: [quote]Hey, saw your edit at Charmed multimedia. I called it different from Region 1, as the original production is based in Region 1, rather than one of the others. Just as if a DVD was produced in Britain, everything would be different from Region 2.[/quote]
But at the top of the page it says "Most regions share the same cover art; only the covers for Seasons 3, 5 and 7 have been changed for their Region 1 releases." Which is why I changed it back to Region 1 from Region 2. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Robinepowell ( talk • contribs) 21:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

No, the only difference between the old logo and the new one is that now the first "A" has a longer tail. Though, which one did you think was blurry? The blue-background one? That's just compression artifacting, which I can fix if it's decided to use it. Really though, I don't care which logo is used, I just thought the blue one would blend more nicely with the infobox border...and no, I *seriously* doubt the colours are going to be changing anytime soon, given how much debate and hem-hawing went into deciding the current scheme; Everyone at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums seems to agree with it. -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
As you can see Australia is getting the same cover art as Germany, which leads me to think we're all getting the same for Charmed S8. http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/791159

(X-Posted) Hey, just saw your modification to Evanescence. While you've done a good job here, I question the necessity of devoting that much of article space to what amounts to a relatively minor early controversy. There simply does not need to be that many quotes to get across a fairly simple point. I'm going to attempt to pare it down a little, and I encourage you to find ways to do the same. Lets keep this to one large paragraph or two small ones at most, eh? Thanks! -- Huntster T • @ • C 10:48, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Hey Armando, in the future, don't archive *all* of the talk page. There were still discussions that were actively going on, and now many newer people won't be able to find them (and you aren't supposed to comment on archive pages anyway). So discussion has effectively stopped for any outstanding issues. Besides that, the page wasn't very long...look at previous archives which were twice as long as the new one.

Just wondering, how exactly is the cover of the above image not fair use? If you are referring to the fact that Eacz12 uploaded one under CC-by-SA, that doesn't count. A scan of a copyrighted image maintains the status of the original image i.e. the one uploaded by Eacz12 was still under full copyright of Wind-up and/or Evanescence (a scan doesn't have sufficient originality to be copyrightable). If this isn't what made you say that my image wasn't fair use, please tell me what did. But I'll just point out that the image uploaded by Eacz12 has exactly the same status in copyright and he/she does not have the authority to licence it under CC-by-SA (since either way about my image, you seem to be supporting the view that he/she does). This also applies to the image of Fallen and Anywhere but home. If you do not believe me feel free to confirm this by asking at WP:COPYRIGHT but do not upload any more images under licences which you do not have the authority to issue or replace properly licenced (fair use) images with ones uploaded as such - unless you have another reason for replacing mine (again, scanning it does not give you the right to licence it) - ??????( t • c • e) 13:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Regarding Battlefront III, perhaps it would be best to AfD this article. That seems to me the most reasonable thing to do, given the complete lack of information we have on it. Personally, I tend to believe those articles that were originally introduced, but I'd be just as happy to have the article removed and wait for more concrete evidence.

(X-Posted) Hey! I see you added a pic of the MT horseshoe to the article. While it is of great quality, the angle of the shot makes it more than a little uncomfortable to look at, truth be told. If you are ever in a position to take another shot, it would be fantastic if you could make one with normal verticle alignment. (I would, but I don't have a camera...)

(X-Posted) Great copyediting, but be careful to use American English for an American-based television show article, rather than traditionally British English terms like 'dialled' and 'manoeuvre'.

I've read through the material on the issue and while I see a number of people who wish them to be gone, I see no overwhelming majority and certainly no guideline demanding their removal. Note also that the article you linked to in the edit summary is nothing more than an essay, and cannot be considered as a guideline or otherwise.

(X-Posted) Hi Robin, just a note, I've replaced the commas you removed from Charmed. Wikidates need to be written in the form that is commonly used in the country of origin for the article. Since Charmed is filmed in the U.S. and targeted to such an audience, the article should be written in the grammer and format commonly used in the U.S. (by contrast, the article for Wicca is written in British English format because its origins were in the UK). It really doesn't matter how it is written in the article, as registered users who have set their preferences will see wikidates in their preferred formats. It is just the 90% of the rest of the world that will see it as it is written in the article. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 16:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Just check your emails for my replys to your first message. I can see how you might think I was vandalising but I just typed a few things wrong & that's why they came up red. See, i typed in the CORRECT episode title & sinec it was incorrect on here, it came up as red. But don't worry, I fixed that too so they're all correct now.

Perhaps it can reflect short-lived and controversial, both of which are factual and true? If you read the link to Book of Daniel, one will see it was not just short-lived, and not just controversial, but highly controversial and that's why it was cancelled. If Goodell's family was the source for the show's writer, that seems noteworthy for his article. The writer specifically mentions in the link:
Twenty-three years ago, he began a relationship with Michael Goodell, who remains his partner to this day. Kenny was fascinated by Goodell's contradictory family: emotionally closed-off Republicans who were also socially liberal and welcoming to him. He became just as fascinated by their participation in the Episcopal Church, which he found more liberal and tolerant than Catholicism.
Daniel's family was very loosely inspired by Goodell's--"None of them are addicted to Vicodin, but there is a lot of behavior that is exciting to me in that world"--and he has studied them closely to get the Websters' interactions just right.

The first two players suspended by Goodell were the Titans Pacman Jones and the Bengals Chris Henry. He has also met with Falcons QB Michael Vick and Bears DT Tank Johnson. It has been noted by many that all of the targets of Goodell's attention have been African American. Two of which have not been convicted of any crimes since entering the NFL.
Although Goodell promised to punish teams as well, when he unveiled his new conduct policy the Bengals have had 11 arrests between May 8th 2006 and May 8th 2007. [10] Many wonder if that flurry of activity hasn't warranted any punishment, what kind of activity would warrant action.

(X-Posted) Hey there, this is a request to undelete Image:Rose_McGowan_07-22-06.jpg. This was not a video capture as was guessed. Image was taken at Comic-Con, where McGowan and others were taking part in a panel. The image shows a projector image, often used at such events that have a large audience, so that everyone can see the panel members. This is no different than if the panel itself was being photographed (just that the person who took the image was either a bit too far away or didn't have a clear shot of the panel members). If there are any questions, please leave a message on my Wikipedia page at en:User talk:Huntster. Thanks! -- Huntster T • @ • C 02:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Note: It was eventually determined, after much discussion on Commons, that even though this was a photograph taken at a live event, because the photograph was taken of a projector image rather than the panel themselves, the projector image would be copyright Comic-Con.

I was curious as to if this was just because of the significant number of articles using this category and that Hermes will eventually cycle through and clean those up, or if there was something else afoot.

(X-Posted) Greetings Mr Reed, hope all is sailing smoothly at BA. I've noticed you are tagging the images you are uploading with conflicting licensing tags. For example, on the images Image:Sundancer in orbit.jpg & Image:GenesisI.jpeg, you are using the tag {{ Attribution}} (which is a free-use tag) and {{ WithPermission}} (which is a fair-use tag). These two tags cannot be mixed, so it must be decided whether the image will be released as free-use (Public Domain, GDFL, or similar) or will be released as fair-use (all rights reserved, etc). Of course, Wikipedia prefers freely released media, as it can be used virtually worldwide without restriction, but the choice, of course, remains with Bigelow Aerospace as the copyright holders.
Basically, you need to review the images that you have uploaded and correct the licensing information, or they risk being deleted at any time if an administrator discovers the discrepancy. If you need any assistance with this problem, for any reason, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page and I'll do whatever I can to help. -- Huntster T • @ • C 01:49, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to respond to your editing, but here goes. Regarding the Hayley Westenra edit about having "perfect pitch" and your editing comment: Undo; how is it clear? It is specifically stated as such in the book? What page in the book? Be more clear or it will be considering original research. The incident referred to in the article is described in the book Hayley Westenra: The World at Her Feet on page 25: "Hayley's class teacher came to me and said, "[...]I've never heard a child so tone true. She's perfect" and later on the same page quoting a friend of Hayley's mother (i.e., not Hayley's class teacher), "There is this wee little thing with such an accurate voice [...] It's not hugely strong, but she just has perfect pitch." It is evident that the intent here is comments on a 6-year-old's unusual pitch accuracy and vocal quality. Nothing about this suggests that Hayley was observed to have "perfect (or absolute) pitch," and I know of no other sources (Hayley's interviews, writings, etc.) that ever claim she has absolute pitch. The writer of the main article simply misinterpreted the family friend's reported comment. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jpbrownca ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I specifically asked on last october to my Language professor at my high-school. This professor has got upper studies and knows Latin quite good, he is a teacher at high school and university in the same school. He asked me whether it was a catholic verse from the bible, because the first meaning he gave me was the one stated. But then he consulted some books and told me that was not exactly correct, and another possible translation was "Save yourselves.." because of the ending of the verb 'Servatis'. Nevertheless he was not sure. This March though, another professor, author of some books published by the school (in Mexico) told us he knew Latin. I asked him as well, and he told me he did not know exactly what did "servatis" mean, possible "save me", "save us" or as an imperative form, "save yourself". There can be no reference about that, don't you think? I tried to search in wikipedia and other sources about this particular suffix, -tis, but was unsuccessfull. My only source I have explained to you. Thanks for your time, and I hope you take this into consideration, as it is NOT an invention of mine. 189.130.123.80 17:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Again me, I know it must be boring. Ok if you visit the reference I put on the article, you will find in the news archive for July 11th, 2007, a small post that announces that they will NOT post the pictures because the management requested so, seeing as these images were leaked onto the internet without their consent. The official video release is not stated. But I think this confirms that the captions are from the video. I do not know whether I may remove my previous reference where I link to the page that holds the captions, and I'll leave that to your consideration. Again, than you for your attention. 189.188.2.95 21:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I made the edit to the Evanescence article while I wasn't logged in. I just forgot to sign in. Anyway, I do not in any way understand how marking Evanescence as a one-member band is in any way non constructive, especially with this article circulating the internet from an interview she did: From http://www.thestar.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3807713:
"I am Evanescence. I am the only original member. I have basically hired the band. Evanescence has become me. It is mine and it's exactly how I want to be."
I will be readding the tag to the article per this interview. If you still find it to be non constructive, please tell me why. Marsofel 04:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Please refrain from adding subsections to the Personnel section on the Evanescence albums, as they are completely superfluous to the needs of that section, being little more than short lists already. There is no policy or guideline that states subsections must be used in place of bold text, at least none that I can locate. Please do correct me if you can find such a statement, but I looked into this long before now. Cheers. -- Huntster T • @ • C 23:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Dhaluza, excellent work on the ARCHER article, it is obvious you've put considerable effort into it. Well sourced and well written. Just one thing: while I sort of like the use of quotes in the reference templates, I don't like how they overly clutter the article body area. They aren't required for use, and I would suggest that they be removed...it shouldn't be difficult for an interested reader to locate the appropriate section in the cited text simply by searching or narrowing down based on page number or whatever. Removing them has two positives, it keeps the article body code clean and easier to handle (as I mentioned above) and keeps the citation area clean and easier for readers to use. Any thoughts? -- Huntster T • @ • C 01:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

“ | The thing is, I'd be all for something like this if it did not require a complete reorganisation of the existing formats. While it would be a good idea to standardise the docs (I may work on that at some future date), I don't really agree with the idea of splitting into conditional subpages and getting into if-then-else statements potentially in both the doc pages and the main templates, when the doc system was created to move any of that stuff out of the template. I'd be interested in see some other editors thoughts on this. -- Huntster T • @ • C 22:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC) | ” |
The Purpose of the /doc pages method had nothing to do with clutter, but with preprocessing issues, in particular, the size limits imposed on template expansions on pages. I was both central to and outside the preprocessing issue as it was because of my nattering to CBD via emails asking things like: "why the hell are we were hiding usage in talk pages, thereby making template use inobvious (since most utility types could be explained succintly in brief) and thereby require editors to follow several links to find out how to use same." and so forth. CBD conferred with Tim! on the systems aspects when the template expansion ceiling was set at two megs, and the solution was born that fencing things off with noinclude blocks allowed both better protection of key templates (interwikis and category edits could happen in the /doc page), but also the benefit that all pages using a template would not add to the reprocessing que, only changes to the direct template used... and allowed the current semi-standardized template documentation using the /doc method. Subsequently, Ligulem took Tim! and CBDs discussion and boldly put together the first systemization of WP:DOC as a method, and about that time I had to travel for several months. But the genesis was technical more than for editor convenience, which was a side effect of my concerns. Complexity within a /doc page is irrelevant, if its ignored, hence standardisation using parserfunction tricks is not an issue.
The key is, /doc causes far less system loading, as the page is cached only after an edit to it is made, and has NO RIPPLE EFFECT on articles, while DRASTICALLY cutting the numbers of bytes sucked in as part of the preprocessing (The stuff within a 'noinclude' block gets ignored, plus multiple uses of a template [prime example is {{ tl}}, suck in multiple source code really swelling the problem when used multiple times on some page... this was a principle effect, BTW).
Subsequently, the /doc technique was exported to our sister projects via the WP:TSP project, which I founded to both improve and standardize template documentation, and share templates technology. Some sisters liked that, some didn't care, and some fought it, which dissenting factors (energy, time), soured me on all our wikis all this past summer... at the expense of standardizing the template documentation never really got off the ground. It's not a sexy thing to work on. God knows I spent many a boring night doing such upgrades on simple tools templates and such that are and were exported elsewhere. If we complicate a small set of /doc pages for multiple displaying (or category declaring, etc. lof the citations templates, at least it will be for use here 'In-house' without all the side politics issues. The techniques really don't clutter things up much anyway. My tendency to comment things a lot probably does that MORE, but leaves a clear picture of WHY [I hope!] <g>), we did a lot of that sort of editing in satisfying the various sister projects declarations of categories in WP:TSP. The issues across sister projects are political (Some projects simply do not like anything from wikipedia, period.)
Standardization is however still desirable, but the complexity of logic used inside a /doc page or (other named such page (e.g. common usage pages like {{ indent family usage}}) has no deleterious issues to that by my definitions and understanding. Per me, standardization requires a clear presentation of parameter behavior and options for the template tyro (Novice editors, or technically nonadept, including those who like staying as ignorant as possible!) plus a 'descent presentation'. Selectively disabling multiple examples in a given citation template can be replaced in an if-then-else to a link for the specific templates page... showing the greater number of examples. In short, I think it will be far far less messy than you seem to think.
How's this idea -- copy the most five or ten commonly used citations templates /doc pages to a /doc2 page. Morph those, and test the concept. That will give concrete discussable results with a clear picture of how many work arounds are needed, and an idea of exactly how much clutter is involved. At worst, failure will require a few compensentory {{ db-author}}s, but even then, we will be ahead in knowledge gained. I have some time today, if your willing to take on a helper. ttfn // Fra nkB 18:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Just reading this over after closing, I realized the easiest thing is to extract the stuff to display in the compendium into a separate subpage like my {{ Cite book/docA }} [which would be backwards to what I'm saying here and now]... that leaves all the categories and larger mass of text unmolested, but puts the compendium stuff where it can be found.
Note the test within it to only display the edit link from within the /doc2 page... an modified doc page pattern by conditional test, if you like. Hence, it's easily accessible when maintaining the doc page, and [the edit link] is otherwise invisible... when used in a compendium or the template page proper. This would limit the page changes to the extraction, replaced by the call of the new subpage inside a short succinct logic block, plus, adding such exclusionary altered doc page pattern logic in the new subpage plus the pasted in text for both displaying pages. What I just had to do in my /doc2 really just uses too many if statements for ease of both implementation and future maintenance. In short it was a pain comparatively. Dah-Ohhhh! G'night! // Fra nkB 04:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

re: Template:Convert( talk links history) (Just followed that reference answering Eziki)
FYI -- The issue with this is not breaking it up... the works are already in place in Category:Conversion templates. See the section on my talk immediately above where we've been conversing!
BUT! Looks like a sound TFD nom to tag with depreciated in favor of Eziki's family of templates would be in order.
My personal philosophy is if a tool is useful, and some find it more convenient (Since they're used to its syntax, ignorant of alternatives, etc.), then it's analogous to your local garage, where two co-workers have different tools in their respective tool boxes.
Their choice... their money spent. In this case, money equates to a volunteers time, plus the time to replace such. Even a BOT replacement has a cost in man hours. Placing an depreciate tag on it in favor of such templates using {{ template list}} links would gradually do the job and tell people what else is available when someone checks.
From what I can see by the tables, {{
Convert}}s arguments are far more cryptic than say {{
km to mi|15.4}}
(15.4 kilometres (9.6 mi))or {{
km2 to mi2|23444}}
({{
km2 to mi2|23444}}
), AND despite Eziki's comment this morning, they are coded pretty small.

(X-Posted) I noticed you recently performed a "cleanup" on the Shepard Smith article. I've partially reverted this edit because you delinked wikidates against WP:DATE#Autoformatting and linking (...kept other edits made). Any reason why you did this? -- Huntster T • @ • C 23:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Please do not run AWB over this page again, or other articles in its present configuration. It is improperly formatting line breaks by removing the backslash, which is improper HTML, and on this page in particular, it formatted one of the superscripted numbers as an actual superscript character, which is intentionally avoided. Are you using the default settings, or is this something you have set up yourself? If default, let me know and I'll have to speak with the creator of the program. -- Huntster T • @ • C 17:48, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
It was later noted by User:PEJL that this should not be done either, for a variety of reasons. For example: it results in unnecessary edits, Wikipedia automatically converts the code anyway, and it may inadvertantly convert material that was intended for a specific display.
(X-Posted) Greetings and welcome to Wikipedia as a registered editor! Your first edits, to the article Uluru, were really quite good (especially your use of the citation; for that I applaud you), but I would like to take this moment to point out a couple of things.
First, because of the wide range of English dialects used throughout the world, editors are asked to use local English for articles taking place in certain places. For example, the Uluru article should use Australian English rather than American English. For this reason I reverted your spelling change of "color" to "colour".
Second, editors must take care to make edits in a non-POV manner, neither favouring one side or another. If I may guess, it seems you favour the Creationist theory, which I respect, but please remember to not edit in such a way that might push this viewpoint. I have reworded the paragraph you added to the article to maintain a non-POV aspect, but still present the arguments raised in the journal article you cited. Remember, whether we personally believe one thing or another, both evolution and creationism are still theories, neither fully proven nor disproven except in our own minds and hearts. If you would, please take a look at my edit here and see what I mean. If you have any questions, any at all regarding editing on Wikipedia, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page and I'll assist in any way I can. Again, I officially welcome you to the website :) -- Huntster T • @ • C 07:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [2]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [3].
For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.
If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. -- Cspurrier 20:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Hey Fuzzypeg, I like the edits for the most part, though I still don't really think they need sections unto themselves, especially given how short they are...such are generally discouraged (at least that is what I've found in my time here). Perhaps these could all be placed in expanded prose under a general "Beliefs" second-tier header? However, I don't quite understand this sentence: "Some Wiccans believe in the las of karma as well as the Threefold Law." What is 'las'? In a brief search, I can only find that 'las' is another term for karma. Any help here? Also, unless a citation can be found, that particular section/sentence should probably be deleted after a week or two. -- Huntster T • @ • C 10:32, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi I just wanted to let you know that the image that was in the Prue Halliwell page can't be used to identify the actor as well.

Your editing on the Rutherford county, TN. article on the subject of the Bible park has a few errors in it. The article linked said the park will develop on land behind the Blackman United Methodist Church, but not that they support it, or proposed it. The church and pastor are against the park as a google search of the church's name and the term "bible park" would show. I'm not good at editing links, so could you edit it to show the church's pastor is against it, and they are not the sponsor of it? The church is being proposed by Armond Bar-Tur, the main financier.

I don't get your reverts here. I can add a valid source to their listing in the Supercouple article validating them as a supercouple, if that's one of your concerns on this matter. Having an internal link in their articles to the Supercouple article is no different than it being in David Beckham's article, the Katie Holmes article...and other articles of both real-life and fictional people.
I came across these articles at first because I see that they need to be improved in a major way, like so many other fictional character articles on Wikipedia, thus I made a mental note to start working on these two articles soon. My adding the Supercouple internal link was just one edit, that I saw/see no different than it being in the articles of other real-life and fictional people. I would have preferred you talk out why you object to it being added to these two articles first...before reverting my edits (with no true explanation in the edit summary, as if I'm some spam vandal). If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you state your reason here on your talk page. I'll add this talk page to my watchlist, and would prefer this issue take place here than on mine.

As the person who added the state project banners to the article, it was because the article is contained in the categories of each of those state's "Trains by state" or whatever category, which itself a subcat of the state's main category. Also, honestly, by making each state project, in a sense, interested in the article, it gives the members of those projects a reason to want to work on the article. Of course, personally, I question the value of all those trains by state categories anyway, but I'm not really in a position to demand that they all be removed.

Hello there Huntster, I'm aware that at least five different templates have recently been produced and added to pages within this general area. I'm a bit concerned that this profusion has taken place without much discussion from editors who work on these articles, and I'd suggest that this should be discussed centrally so that there is a degree of uniformity in articles within the same family. I'm writing to you because I know you have been involved with these articles quite closely. If you would like to join this discussion, please do not reply here, but go instead to the talk page I have set up for this purpose. Of course if you want to have a 1:1 discussion about this, then please do reply here or on my own talk page. Many thanks! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 00:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to said this, but you just can copy and paste code from another template without even knowing what it is. You've added some useless things, since the WikiProject is not that big.
You've also created categories like this . Category:Evanescence articles with comments] ¿? It's not even necessary that people write their reason for rating an article with "Stub" or "B" since there is already a criteria for that. Check Wikipedia:WikiProject Evanescence/Assessment. I've just created this page and deleted that field.
Now look this. You have changed all the categories in the template: Category:Top-Importance Evanescence articles -> Category:Top-importance Evanescence articles. I've already fixed all of that. Another thing you have done, is to repeat and repeat and repeat some codes like 'switch' for the categories. The template is a mess!!!!! I've also deleted the needs-infobox, since all oif the Ev articles have infoboxes, and as I've already written, this WP is small.
Another thing is the peer-review options...that options is used in WikiProjects that have their own peer review department. So I've deleted that too. Well, you may think that here Wikipedia:WikiProject Evanescence/Peer review, articles are reviewed that that's only a list of articles being reviewd by Wikipedia:Peer review.
Now, I've kept the merge, attention and reassess field. Armando.O talk • Ev 19:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Not all links can or will look like the IMDB links.

It's nearly impossible to have all links look alike but how I input the link originally is how it's done on very many pages.

Honestly, I'm surprised at your apparent position given Illa's non-arguments, and the history of this article. You remember the fuss with the old logo in this article? That *had* commentary as I recall, and the entire thing was removed. I think you know that text could be written about the logo and its relation to this band. The logo has been more stable than the lineup. And I might have done it had this started as a talk page request saying "hey, it would be helpful if there were some commentary on the logo, and it would be good to get that done by March when the fair use crunch happens". But that's not how these image sweeps seem to get handled. Gimmetrow 06:41, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Hunster, you've helped me on this before and I know you're better at this than I am. I have tried a lotta stuff to get the FIPS part of the table top working. Everything else is working fantastic from where you had fixed parts before, however the FIPS reference just doesn't want to include what is put into the parameter to make the reference URL work like it should. It is putting the variable name in {{{state_initials}}} instead of putting the value of the variable. If we can get that part working all else will be fixed and could start putting it into use. If you have a second please take a look at it. You can wipe out the sandbox if you want I've just been trying to some random things to get it to work. I appreciate your help.

(X-Posted) Hey there, I see you added back Category:Transportation in Nashville, Tennessee to Tennessee State Route 840. Frankly, your edit summary makes no sense...yes, it affects traffic in and around Nashville, but it also affects traffic in certain ways to all the cities and towns in the state, as all major interstates and highways do nationwide. The category is normally intended for those items that are actually in the city. It isn't a big deal, but I prefer accuracy, and to me this is like putting Murfreesboro, Tennessee inside Category:Nashville, Tennessee or Category:Davidson County, Tennessee because "hey, Murfreesboro is little more than a bedroom community for Nashville!" ;) — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 02:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I am quite curious about this. Most maps don't have a proper "author" or a single individual responsible for their creation. I know the Official Michigan Department of Transportation map doesn't have an author. In fact to attribute a map to a single cartographer is the exception, not the rule. As a result of your changes, the year is the first item that shows for 13 of the maps referenced in M-35 (Michigan highway), a recent FA. A few of the other references don't have issue years known and then default to the map title first instead. I would advice that you revert your changes to account for this fact.

Hi. I thought I'd start with the merging of the remaining Stargate spaceships soon since it's been almost two weeks with no new input. Now, someone has contacted me and said that my chosen wording of "starship" sounds too much like Star Trek. So before I go ahead and make more of a naming mess, can you tell me another word that includes everything from F-302 to Tel'tak to Ancient City Ship? Spaceships in Stargate? Starcrafts in Stargate? (I'll rename the other articles accordingly then, including fixing the double redirects.) Thanks in advance. – sgeureka t• c 21:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
(X-Posted) I see you place a merge tag on the Evanescence song Lithium's article, but gave no explanation on the talk page. I can see why you would suggest such a merge, but I'd still recommend a section be started by you on the Evanescence Lithium talk page. If such a merge were to go through, I would ask for a definitive source for the information in the article, other than simply saying it came from her website (aka, a source for release date and other such info). I can perform the merge with no problem, but I would like to have that. I can't see this being a particularly controversial move, given that there is no real notability attached to the song or article, so after about a week (unless something changes), I'll take care of it. — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 03:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
Your monobook needs to be updated to avoid an error. The convert template code has changed and it will no longer accept 'sq' or 'cu' with metric units. Thus '|sqkm|' will have to be changed to '|km2|'. All existing pages have been updated. Any new use of the template with '|sqkm|' will produce an error on the page. The code for non-metric units is unchanged and can be either '|sqft|' or '|ft2|' format.

I noticed that in one of your recent edits to Evanescence, you had removed the archive link to the Interview with DC101 radio on February 24, 2003 MP3 file which is referenced in the article. I just wanted to note that I had added the archive link when I ran the Checklinks tool ( here) as the original link returned an HTTP 404 error at the time. I had no idea that the webmaster at evanescencereference.info would have this fixed the very next day. -- Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 23:46, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all the edits you just did to the Questionable Content article--cleaned up a lot of stuff! Just out of curiosity, about the bolding of the "wins" column in the awards received (I don't really mind if they're unbolded, but I'm just wondering), can that be considered a notability issue, rather than NPOV? ie, wins are more notable than nominations and should thus be more prominent? (I suppose one way of answering that would just be to remove all mention of nominations from the article entirely, and only list awards that were won...but then that seems to be basically the same thing, making the wins more prominent than the nominations.)

Hey, sorry to bother you again, but I have an admin question for you. I noticed this morning that a user named Geekyguild has been going through Wikipedia deleting all links to and mention of some online retailer called ThinkGeek; I have reverted many of these edits because he was compromising the integrity of the article by deleting URLs without paying attention to the context (breaking {{cite web}} templates, creating nonsense sentences, etc.). I also noticed that the ThinkGeek article has been marked as a candidate for speedy deletion because of (apparently) having been created by members of that retailer's staff to generate traffic for their website.
A few things that seem fishy:

Hi. You wrote that "High profile templates like this are typically protected as a preventative measure". Yet this template's "twins", {{ African American topics}} and {{ African American topics collapsible sidebar}}, aren't protected and they're rarely vandalized.
{{ Judaism}} and {{ Jews and Judaism sidebar}} are two other "high profile templates" on my watchlist that aren't protected, and they're also rarely vandalized.
I guess I'm writing because I don't understand the rationale behind protecting this one template and not any of the others. Maybe you're not the right person to ask about this. Should I raise this issue at WP:RPP?

I was wondering if it would be possible to restore Image:DebbyRyan.jpg temporarily so I can look at the history. The uploader of this mage initially uploaded this with a source of "camera" but it was a non-free image and he used it in a biography article ( Debby Ryan). After I pointed this out to him and tagged the image he changed source to Flicker (which is where it seems to be from) then uploaded a new image which was a copyvio. Then he went back and forth between the two. It's not the first time he's done this. [8] This editor has a long history of uploading non-free images with bad or missing FURs, invalid source data etc. He has now uploaded this image to commons, under another user name, claiming it was on his PC. [9] It was probably on his PC only because he had previously downloaded it from Flickr. I'm trying to get the image deleted since it appears to be a copyvio of this image and I'd like to be able to refer back to the Wikipedia image in support. I also think it's time something was done about this editor's ability to upload image. I've tried to help him but he just does not seem to want to follow policy. I'm not sure how to go about formally raising this issue but I'm sure I'll need an example and this is it. Otherwise I'll have to wait until the next time he tries to sneak a copyvio into an article, which probably won't be long. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 05:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

The event in question did not occur on the MTSU campus, but at an off-campus apartment complex.

I actually work for MTSU Police in dispatch, and have been working with news agencies calling regarding this all evening. I confirmed with Murfreesboro police that they are the investigating agency. To be honest, I'm not sure how to respond to the mention in the news stories which states that six Indian students have been attacked in Tennessee...out of curiosity, do you know if any of these students attended MTSU, or were they at other schools? — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 04:43, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Hi Ched, just wanted to drop you a line regarding television episodes and their place on Wikipedia. I read your page, and the wiki subpage, and wanted to comment on the "community members prefering not to have individual shows listed" line. It really isn't a matter of not wanting individual shows...rather, it was decided a year ago or so that if television episodes were to have articles here, they needed to show real-world relevance and notability (along with reliable citations, as that is Wikipedia's policy) rather than just giving an episode summary, bits of trivia, and personal observations about the show in question. Anything, episode, character, etc, that displays that relevance and notability is welcome on the website. As Sgeureka has mentioned, there are several SG episode articles that are considered amongst the best articles on the site..."200" is a Featured Article, four are Good Articles, and one more is being proposed for GA status. If you want to write episode articles (for any series), use those as guidelines.
I strongly recommend you continue with your editing...don't be discouraged because this one venture didn't work out (I can't tell you how many times my edits were undone or reworked when I first started here...that's just how we learn!). Take it slow; start with smaller edits across a variety of articles and topics to get the feel for things, and work your way up as you learn more about Wiki operations. I'm more than happy to help out with any questions or problems you may have, and many others are willing to do the same (as you've learned by using the {{ help me}} template). — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 07:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

If he does continue, and doesn't change his blatantly uncivil and provocative tone, I'll consider blocking him.

Would you mind unprotecting the page I recently created, which was deleted, for the second Evanescence Demo EP "Sound Asleep". I realise that I failed to provide a reference when creating the page. This was because I was short of time and intended to return to correct this later. However the page was deleted and then protected by you pretty quickly. The reference is here http://evanescencereference.info/music/ from the evanescence reference itself. All the tracks can be found here together with an interview with Lee and Moody on the subject. I can recreate the page I mage, which was sourced directly from this site, and include the reference this time. I apologise for not providing it the first time round but I assure you the information is correct. I actually own the EP myself anyhow, though I realise first-hand research is not considered on wikipedia, which is valid and reasonable. If you could unprotect the page to allow me to make the necessary edits I would be most pleased. The lack of a dedicated page for Sound Asleep is really irritating when trying to follow the Evanescence Chronology on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Athlon Duster ( talk • contribs) 07:52, 12 January 2009
(X-Posted) Hey DoxTxob, I saw that you are working to kill redirects, and I thought you might find this useful. The first is a .js bit that adds a tab to the top of the page, which highlights redirects and performs a count of their number on a page. It is at User:Huntster/monobook.js/highlightredirects.js. The second is a simple CSS change that more subtly highlights the redirects in an article (and is on all the time, as opposed to clicking a button), which is:
a.mw-redirect { color:green; font-weight:bold; }
If you are interesting and don't know how to add .js or .css stuff to your profile, let me know and I'll either step you through it or add it/them to your files, whichever you wish. Cheers! — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 07:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Huntster, I hope it's ok if I come to you with this. I recently ran across an article that I thought needed improvement through an RfC. I tried to provide input, and while I still feel the way it is currently worded - is wrong. To make a long story short, I posted a question at a blocking admin's page here, (as well as mentioning it at the retiring admin's talk page). The retiring admin. did respond, and generally feeling that an admin's advise is proper, I'm not sure in this case it was. Partly because I'm not sure ... let's just say that, - I am questioning my post to the blocked users talk page. After looking a little closer at various things, I am kind of wishing I had not posted it. My question is, would it ever be acceptable for a user (me) to remove/delete their own post to another users talk page. While I feel the article is very wrong in it's current presentation, I'm afraid that I'm stepping into a big pile of doo-doo that maybe I'd be better to avoid. I'd appreciate any input and advise that you would feel comfortable in giving. Thank you. Ched ( talk) 15:45, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Huntster! I am not sure if you knew that I am German ... well, I am. Anyway, on the German Wikipedia there is a link in the toolbox that enables you to generate and download a PDF-version of any article from the German Wikipedia. ( German Wikipedia Mainpage, look for "Werkzeuge" (tools) on the left and the "PDF-Version" link).
I know that you are not only a very smart editor of Wikipedia but that you have expert knowledge of the technical topics as well. Why is this PDF conversion feature not available in the English Wikipedia? PDF is much more neat than the printable version of an article (that is also available on the German Wikipedia as "Druckversion"). It cannot be any copyright issues for the conversion software, I assume, as they should not be much different for Germany than for other civilized countries, incl. the U.S. of A. I tried that feature a few times and I like the results. Do you think this feature can be adopted by the English Wikipedia easily? Take care, doxTxob \ talk 04:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Huntster. I wanted to drop a note on some off topic developments (sort of). I recently attended a city council meeting (at their request) regarding a database I designed and developed for emergency responders (PD, VFD, EMS). It seems that they like what I've done, and have now bumped it up to county admins to see if my work can be incorporated at a county-wide level. OK - I admit - a "toot my own horn" thing, but thought you might be mildly interested as you also perform an invaluable public service as well.
On a "downside" kind of note - I recently had to spend some time at a police station. I finally had time to visit a library (in search of documenting some info from microfilm archives of local newspapers). I hope to find enough info to make a Heidelberg Raceway article for wikipedia, but need more than what the web provides. Anyway - while I was there, (I had my wallet out to get my ID and library card out), I ended up leaving my wallet on the front desk of the library while the director showed me the sections and resources they had available. When I came back to the front desk, I found that someone had lifted my wallet! Geesh! Stealing in a library, ... almost as bad as a church! Anyway, despite my total depression - I'll continue on, and try to make Wikipedia a better place .. ;). You're probably already aware that I consider you one of Wikipedia's most valuable assets, and it makes me proud of my daughter's generation that people like you rise to the level you do (both on and off wiki).

It can be really beautiful, the lush green grass is wonderful and all - but you need to watch where you're stepping. And sooner or later, ya will step into a pile of crap, but the trick is knowing where to wipe your feet, and not stepping into an even bigger pile. Looks like the NASCAR race is heading toward a good finish here too. (which has absolutely noting to do with anything - just that I was watching). — Ched ( talk) 01:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Would you have time to look at the Huh? thread on my talk page. I found the obvious stuff easy enough in various page histories - I'm not sure what to make of the question though?

hey Huntster, how you doing this weekend? I'm working on a merge ( here) - I already closed and archived the talk pages - and copied some of the stuff over. I hope to get done later tonight, but I was hoping you would have time to look over everything before I do the actual #redirect. Just to make sure I'm not missing anything. Hope all is going good for ya - talk to you later. ;) — Ched ( talk) 20:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Sorry to arrive so late, been a bit busy over the past couple of days. I see you've got the articles merged...I see nothing out of the ordinary. As for the rename, so long as noone on the talk page has a problem with it, then you are free to do so. Just give it a few days to see if there are any objections. I trust you'll do fine, but if you want, I'll double check the move when you've finished it. — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 06:58, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
← (X-Posted) Thanks for the kind words :) Yeah, I saw where you were working to rescue Shutdown Day. At first I was concerned it was too non-notable, but there appear to be several varied sources within Google News ( link) that you may find useful as refs. Not sure if there needs to be separate subsections for each year...I doubt each iteration is notable enough; and do remember to change all references to inline citations, rather than just hanging in the References section. — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 07:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Copied per preferred page style and content. (looks like you've been having a bad week). But, you'll have to do the sort per time continuity - As Bones would say to Kirk on Star Trek - "Damn it Jim, I'm an editor - not a secretary!" — Ched ~ (yes?) 02:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
(X-Posted) Hi there, thanks for creating the article East Nashville High School, however, it appears parts of it is a direct copy/paste from http://www.eastalums.com/history.htm. This is strictly not permitted by Wikipedia, and will result in the article being deleted if these copyright violations are not removed. The same goes for any other article, image, etc (I trust that actually is your image of ENHS...).

Business has been slow this month, which has given me time to try to get up to speed as best I can here. I did find that advice you gave me long ago was the best advice - first I moved all the drama (AN) pages off my watchlist - then deleted the whole page I had put them on.

Hey Huntster, how you doing tonight? I noticed you fixed the image/link thing on my talk page, and... history shows that the editor before you was a vandal - then unvandal. Didn't know if he really thought twice about his post - or if you removed something REALLY NASTY with one of your super-duper admin buttons.
Which reminds me of something I never figured out. When I first started, I went to my user page, and since it was blank with the edit box - I went to read about editing basics. When I came back to start my user page, there was a page there that just said lolololol. I created (or rather edited) the page, and started my wiki-career. After I learned a little more, (page history, user contribs, etc.) I came back. the lololol thing seems to be the only edit user Nickjenk ever made? Just seems very strange - any ideas? Oh well, nothing really important or anything - was just curious. Hope life and edits are treating you well. — Ched ~ (yes?) 00:54, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I've got a question about the meaning of a sentence. Does "No-one must do X" mean:
This confuses me because I learned in school that "must do" and "must not do" have a different meaning than "have to do" and "don't have to do", and I don't know in which way "no-one" negates the "must". Thanks. (Feel free to reply here.) – sgeureka t• c 14:51, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I was combing through the archives at Talk:Amy Lee recently, and I found a section in one of said archives, where someone brought up her declining popularity, and you said you had lost respect for her like other people. I was just wondering, out of pure curiosity, why have you lost respect for her? Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking this question so I can judge you, because I'm not her biggest fan either, aside from her music, as you can tell on the talk page (which I apologize for starting that unnecessary debate, it was really pointless of me to do that). -- Whip it!

Hey Huntster, this question is not urgent, I heard you are pretty busy. I was thinking of making the banner similar to the Arkansas project banner, with the B-class checklist in it but I do not want to do that at the location. Is it possible to do that in the user sandbox? That meta-banner also includes sub-pages, and I have no experience with that. Well, I am also not sure if anyone is interested at all. Has the actual project work ceased and everyone is pursuing their own stuff or do you think no one cares? Or is the lack of responses to be interpreted as no (or yes)?

My edits to the susan boyle article are based on sources provided in the article. I have added links.

Ahh ... Deep breath here. OK .. now, the legal aspects of photographs. As I understand it, if a person is a public figure, and I take a picture of him/her - then I am free to post that picture anywhere I want. So, If I took a picture of Dale Earnhardt while he was in a public forum, it's perfectly fine to post that picture here? .. am I right so far? ... Now, I take a picture that has people that are NOT public figures, but the picture was taken while they were out in public. Do I need to have a release form signed by them in order to post the picture? I have pictures from back in the 70's of race car stuff. I don't want to just upload the pics and run the risk of someone saying they didn't allow their picture to be posted in public.

Hey Huntster - hope life is treating you better than the economy is treating everyone else. ;). Had a great trip down through TN, KY, VA, Alabama etc., but didn't get as much in the line of pics as I had hoped. Was good to get away from WP for a bit I think - and I see that not much has changed in a week ... lol. I try to remember my "roots" in WP, and did want to drop in and say hi to you, and wish you well before I get too involved again in "editing" again. Also had a quick favor to ask. I know your time here is limited, but if you could look in on the SoxBot V from time to time, it may be worth keeping an eye on. I see that X! is taking a wiki-break, and there was a glitch in the admin-highlighter do-dad this morning. User:Ais523/adminrights.js >> User:Ais523/adminrights-admins.js >> User:SoxBot V/adminrights-admins.js. SoxBot V basically blanked the admin list briefly, then restored it a short time later.

[14] Should this be undone, too? Wasn't alphabetical order chosen for some reason? Also, I undid the date format change.

I am curious as to the metadata you are mining after seeing your edit at Susan Boyle. It seems to be principally related to citations... What you are doing seems quite fastidious, and not really capable of being easily automated. Are you doing it manually? Ohconfucius ( talk) 10:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
|author=
to |first=
and |last=
(where appropriate), since this generates more easily handled metadata, and even more importantly, presents the data is a uniform "last, first" format, which is the typical form we see here and elsewhere. Secondary is the proper use of the |work=
and |publisher=
fields..."work" describes the publication, "publisher" describes the company itself. Very important difference when it comes to citations. I just like uniformity, which also encapsulates my wrapping all "ref name" fields in quotation marks, which also ensures everything works properly regardless of what is included in that field. I don't personally mine metadata, but it is done, so I like to ensure everything works right for those end users. —

Ohconfucius (

(note that middle names, of course, belong in the "first" field). |Author=
can be used if there is only one name, or other generic term (in the Boyle article, for example, "Staff" and a poster's username). More appropriate to use "author" in this case than "last". |coauthor=
is used when more than one author is given for a source, and should be formatted in the "last, first; last, first" style. Note the colon separating the names. As for the refnames, yeah, my style is an abbreviation of the publication plus an abbreviated ISO format, with a "-2", "-3", etc, if disambiguation is needed.

Greetings Huntster! I do not only root around in the CSI/NCIS pages. I notice there is much borderline vandalism going on in the Wicca page also. I know this is difficult to control, as there are so many opinions on it. I myself am not willing to add to the page, even with solid resources, as I am still too easily p.o.'ed when people take apart my edits...but that's my own problem to deal with. Anyway, may I politely suggest a semi-protect of the page against editing by anon. IP's and new users? I do believe I've told you I would willingly give up my IP editing priveleges if Wikipedia made everyone register with a verifiable e-mail address. I want free speech as much as anyone else, but also want Wikipedia to be a reliable resource, and not just a playground for bored twits. Okay, off my soapbox now <grin>. The semi-protect of Wicca is just something for you to think about.
By the way, can you tell me exactly where I can find the section in TV Projects that says former cast members are always left in the main info box listing? All I can get from a particular admin (who only does this to one show) is "this is the way we deal with" former cast members. I want to be a good editor, but it's difficult when a request for the rules is ignored (the request was in several places - there's no way it wasn't seen). I also wonder if some shows, such as Law & Order, would not have hugely unwieldy info boxes if all former actors were listed. Thanks again for all your help. I'm not stalking you, but trying to watch your edits so I can learn how such things are done properly. And thank you for not biting me for doing things wrong. Polite responses go so much further than a "do as I say, not as I do" or "not done right, so it's being ignored". Cheers, TristaBella ( talk) 20:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey Huntster. I noticed that you updated your page recently. I wanted to mention that there was another "vandal" thingie a couple weeks ago, if you check your page history. I reverted and blocked the "editor" - and due to his reply, another admin made it an "indef". So, just saying - I guess you can up that "vandalized" thingie by one.

Hey Huntster, I'll double check around about the W (We're) thing.. I don't think it's a hard and fast rule, but I used to work at WKPT-TV, and the W was used in promotions when the station first signed on the air, as We're Kingsport (in fact, it was actually "We're the ones in KingsPorT," to distinguish Channel 19 from the other stations in nearby Johnson City and Bristol. I also know specifically, that WLAC in Nashville was promoted as "We're Life And Casualty," meaning the insurance company that put the station on the air, WTVC in Chattanooga was We're TeleVision Chattanooga, and WHBQ in Memphis (We Have Better Quartets--alluding to the old radio promotions). Some stations used variants of the W, as World's Best Textiles (WBT, Charlotte), and Welcome South Brother (WSB, Atlanta), but the stations that I have a list of, definitely used the W to mean "We" or "We're." I've got the list somewhere, and will forward it to you ( or the appropriate website) Csneed ( talk) 02:55, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
There is no point in a war over these pictures. I've included them both. The classic head shot is a fantastic picture, I agree. But the other user will keep adding the picture (it is back again). I moved some pictures to the gallery, and expanded the captions. I also took some out. How many salt and peppers do we need.

12-Oct-09: Hello, Hunster. Wikid77 here. I'm contacting you separately because the Convert talk-page (unarchived) has become too large to focus the massive deadlock about rounding. I realize, finally, from several heated replies, that Template:Convert has been "taken over" by engineers, who obviously have hundreds of formulas depending on the current rounding and precision. They quite rightly "own" Convert, and a different conversion template is needed for general users: we cannot find a "
one size fits all" middleground within the single Template:Convert. The engineers are rightfully adamant, when thinking about the impact, of even a small change, to affect, perhaps, many of 40,000 engineering articles that consider "200 whatevers" as rounded to the nearest hundred (2 hundred). I am hoping you see the current debates as endless: the engineer viewpoint of "200", as rounded, will never match the general-public view, when they know an athlete weighed exactly 200 pounds, or have a town "exactly" 200 km away. We can't expect a novice user or young teenager to truly understand the notion to always assume 200 is rounded, just because Convert cannot "read minds" but expects people to know (surprise) "200" means plus/minus 50.
Creating
Template:Gconvert - I must create a separate variation of Convert, using just a few altered top-level templates, that shifts the level of rounding, away from the engineering measurement-brackets (plus/minus 50 in 200): this new template (don't delete it!) will be "Gconvert" (for "general-purpose convert"). Note: the original Convert will be entirely unchanged. By careful design, the new Gconvert will tie into the vast ocean of Convert's 2,410 subtemplates, but shift the rounding (away from engineers) to match what the
general public expects (Google says "32m is 105ft" not 100ft rounded). Again, I am contacting you, as an admin aware of Convert, who has also seen many people concerned about the rounding that doesn't match common notions of weight or height or Google's "32m = 105ft". I think, eventually, we can bot-edit articles containing 200, 300, 400 (etc.) to use "Gconvert" and let users know that the original Convert is (actually) an engineering tool, but the new Gconvert is for general-purpose numbers. The decision, to surrender Convert to the engineers, isn't about who has more articles, but rather concerns which articles would suffer more from changes in precision. Definitely: 40,000 engineering articles are more likely to have details tied to exact conversions, rather than in general articles. I finally realize that, to many engineers, if they said "
Pi is 100
glom-units" they would convert pi as 2.99 because "100 is an estimate" to many of them. We must let the new Gconvert become the general-purpose template that numerous people have tried to write, but finally as a template tied logically to Convert without changing anything there. This is just a heads-up notice for why another template is being created. We will avoid months of heated debates if we can allow the 2 separate viewpoints to each have their own template. Please reply below, if you have any major concerns with this proposal. Thanks. -

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I noted the absence of a reference to the ancestry of four of the lead singers of CW as having been part of Anuna. I left a comment for you at the edit but must have done it wrong. Please accept an apology for my ignorance. The comment was "Hi. I wouldn't call the info I inserted random trivia. The fact that four of the solo singers came from the ranks of Anuna is acknowledged in all of their official biographies and surely has a direct impact on their style of singing. It is surprising that this fact isn't already on the site". You undid the reference and listed it as random trivia. I think that it isn't, and that wouldn't simply be a matter of personal taste. Meav was part of Anuna for at least four years, Deirdre for at least three years, and Lynn for around four or five. I think Orla was part of that group for around a year. All four women list it on their CVs. Three of those women appear dotted as soloists all over the Anuna albums I have, and it is logical (and I suppose) correct, to assume that they were highly influenced by this group in their vocal approach to the music of Celtic Woman. It was, after all, Anuna that pioneered the "high soprano" sound in the early 1990s through their work with Riverdance, and subsequently produced the soprano vocals of Eimear Quinn, winner of Eurovision Song Contest 1996. You might also note that most of the choral singers in the background are ex-Anuna I believe. I would point out that while you may think this is random trivia, Anuna appear to be still producing something unique enough for Celtic Woman to believe otherwise. 194.46.189.195 ( talk) 23:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the removal and comment re: the use of colwidth is all about. The use of colwidth=30em is becoming widespread over the use of a specific number (with 2 or 3 being the most popular other choices). I've no clue what you're talking about when referring to the 1600px, ...and besides, even if it was true that it didn't have an effect below that, what in the world would the problem be then? Regardless, I just don't get it. I don't think that all reflists should have columns, but generally any list over 10 items long tends to benefit from column use, which is why I generally choose to add them once the list is 11 items long or longer.

Hi Hunster,
The section that I deleted has nothing to do with the template. It is another wordy rant that adds nothing to the improvement of the template. The same user has made many rambling entries on the page which should have been much more concise - but as long as they are on topic, I had let them stand - I just wait for the archive bot to get them out of the way. The entry that I deleted was way off topic. It concerns editors perceived workloads (a bizarre comment to make in any case). This has nothing to do with the template. If the Wikid77 needs to talk about his concerns for other editors, let him do it in user talk space, not in template talk space. Bleakcomb ( talk) 23:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your response Huntster. I apologise for my boldness. Though, I was a little surprised to see "another admin" revert my reversion while referencing TPG. Those guidelines suggest there can be grounds for refactoring or even deleting talk page entries made by others ( section Refactoring for relevance). This would appear to contradict your comment to me of "Do not delete comments of others unless it is blatant vandalism." Wikid77's entry was an off-topic rant which doesn't exactly fit the guidelines for refactoring or deletion under the section I mentioned, though it is very close. According to the guidelines the rant needs to be on-topic rather than off-topic to be edited. The same section also suggests moving off-topic exchanges to the talk page of the editor that started the discussion. The next section suggests using the {{ Inappropriate comment}} template to tag inappropriate comments as a warning. Would either of these methods in lieu of deletion be acceptable to you as a means of improving the talk page in accordance with talk page guidelines? Bleakcomb ( talk) 00:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I had not come across the guideline or the template before either and I have been here for a little while, too! The things you learn. What discovering the guideline has done is given me something concrete with which to discuss with Wikid77 the use of the convert talk page. If you read through the guideline and then review Wikid77's additions to the page, you'll detect several problems that are described concisely in the guideline (namely conciseness and relevance). I have concerns with the style of Wikid77's comments on the page because they waste space and editor's time to read; editors are turned off by the wall-of-words and disengage from the topic being discussed and any other topic that is being or should be discussed on the page; if there is validity to Wikid77's concerns with convert (and I have some doubts), then discouraging editors with the wall-of-words will not help his case or the betterment of the template. I understand your concern that only I have objected to the edit that I reverted but I still believe the section was inappropriate for the page it was placed in. And I would be concerned that other editors would feel intimidated by the wall-of-words and less likely to speak up.
Going forward, I think I will ask Wikid77 to remove the section we disputed or to move it to his user space, or to seek his permission to do so, inline with the guideline, though it will not be today. I'll see how that tack goes.
Some feedback in good faith, if I may; reversions are permitted, edit warring is not. The strength of you response to my reversions including the suggestion that I was wrong because you (an admin) and "another admin" said so even though I had some grounds to make the deletion in the guideline referred to by Martin was heavy-handed and quite intimidatory. I have hide of medium thickness. Remember that others, including new editors, may not. Bleakcomb ( talk) 03:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Hunster. You previously indicated you have a fair amount of expertise in the whole area of Wikipedia graphics/images rules and practice. Could you take a look at the new video recently posted on NewScientist here at this link. The NewScientist news folks say that the images were provided by Bigelow Aerospace. Might there be a legitimate fair use rationale that might allow one or two of these images (or screen captured images?) to be used within Wikipedia? Maybe on the BA article, but almost for sure, I would think, on the Sundancer article? What do you think? Cheers, N2e ( talk) 18:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I have asked Jimp to (re-)consider becoming an admin for updating Convert, and to think about it for a few days. Even with a "new improved" subsystem in Convert, we still need to compare new-versus-old, and if the old subtemplates are still broken....we can't ensure the new results are correct, versus old. You are obviously extremely busy, and I'm wondering if User:Plasikspork might want to start updating dozens of those subtemplates. I had a recent 1-month block for unwise use of 2-accounts viewed as puppets, so they "hate" me, but we need to make all these trivial corrections much easier inside Convert. We're filling the Wikipedia databases with many minor edit-protect requests that should be 1-line changes to subtemplates, not whole new pages added to explain (with solid test-cases) a minor change. Respond below in a few days, if you have time. Thanks. - Wikid77 ( talk) 21:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

It's Saturday, that template has 68,000 transclusions, and should be updated on a weekend.

When you parent a category the contents should all be appropriate for the parents. Once you get up to the children of Category:Eponymous categories like Category:Categories named after universities and colleges, they are generally not going to have any other parents. The categories are best covered in the main articles. As an example, people have nothing to do with the accrediting associations so that is not a valid parent. Same goes for conferences and the like. If I removed a category by accident that should have been left, then you can restore it, but I suspect this will be a very small number. Vegaswikian ( talk) 00:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

The "$45 million dollars" thing is just bizarre.

Actually, thank you so much for mentioning the "400 px on largest size" fair use limitation.

The fair use rules all seem to be scattered randomly throughout dozens of pages, so I gave up looking. But since you told me, that settles it, and my future uploads will be no larger than this. As for the Forbidden Rose poster, my apologies if I made the situation more confusing than it ought to have been.

Hi Huntster. Saw your comment on Talk:CST-100. I agree with you that a new {{ Infobox spacecraft}} is needed. I'm not sure whether creating "a template specific to human-rated transports, similar to {{ Infobox cargo spacecraft}}," is the best way to go. Let me see if I can articulate my rationale in a way that makes sense.
I think it is true that there are a number of characteristics of spacecraft that go both to and from space stations that are different than the vast majority of one-time use, launch-and-never-return spacecraft, but I'm not sure that human-rated vs. cargo is the best distinction. Other potential key distinctions include:
The class of spacecraft that I think we need a better/new template for include: CST-100, SpaceX Dragon, Dream Chaser, Orion Lite, Cygnus, the ESA Automated Transfer Vehicle, the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle, and the Russian Progress spacecraft. Thus, if we decide to create a template for something along the lines of transfer vehicles (not sure that is the best name, but maybe it is; say {{ Infobox transfer spacecraft}}), then clearly some needed parameters would include, endurance (design point for time on station), crew capable (yes/no), crew capacity (if applicable), size (length, width, height, or diameter, if round), mass, reusable (yes/no, or maybe yes by design but not yet achieved in practice, or ...), pressurized volume, unpressurized volume, launch payload, return payload, carrier rocket, crew necessary yes/no; e.g., is the crew required for docking, as I believe it was in Gemini and Apollo, maybe Soyuz, or not? Even if a transfer spacecraft is crewed, if the crew were incapacitated, could it dock? I suspect that in today's designs nearly all transfer vehicles are automated, so we don't need the automated word in the template; but maybe some designs might need humans, in which case this parm would capture that design criteria). There are others, for example, see the ESA ATV; I don't know how general those are or should be when a template is created.
One other item, in my view, within the class of transfer vehicles that can carry crew or cargo, the key distinction to be made, probably within a single template, is "crew" or no crew, not so-called "human rated". I think "human rated" gets into a bunch of POV issues that are best left out of templates, where it should just be crew yes or no, in the view of the designers or in practice, as supported by sources of course. This could affect how one names the parameters when creating a template so I thought I should put my opinion down in text. Any additional "human-rating", just like a UL seal of approval, is something additional and perhaps need not be included in a template at all, or would be picked up only in flexible yet-to-be-named template parameters on an as-needed basis.

I think you're mistaken in this diff. Taylor Swift discography, a FL, uses 1xx figures for songs that made the Bubbling Under but not the Hot 100 proper. It's a common industry shorthand to use 1xx figures to represent bubbers-under that never made the Hot 100 proper; for instance, if it peaked at #1 on Bubbling Under, most discographies list it as a #101 peak. I know Joel Whitburn uses that format, as does Mike Curb on his official website. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ( Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 03:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

1. Regarding "deceased" status of an astronaut astronaut - I would rather agree with you - the link shouldn't be there, I first detected it on Pavel Belyaev page and decided if it is allowed there it would be appropriate on Gagarin's page too. 2. Your bringing back the insignia size to 30px renders in again almost invisible, so I doubt the practicality of strict adherence to template parameters. (By the way - are you a moderator?) 3. Your accusation of my changing the template is incorrect. In fact I attempted to restore the CORRECT template. If you check my contributions in Lenoir, Gagarin and a number of other entries deceased cosmonauts - you will notice I was correcting the mistake that applies to a large number of entries on deceased cosmonauts and astronauts by reverting the erroneous line date_death it to the original template Infobox:Astronaut standard death_date, since that mistake makes the date of death invisible on the actual page. 4. Your idea of appropriateness is your personal view which has nothing to do with encyclopedic knowledge. The age at which a person dies is a relevant piece of information pertinent to a person's biography, it is used throughout Wikipedia in most other templates, mentioning it has nothing unethical about it. Infobox templates are not written in stone and can be corrected for the purposes of providing more accurate information. Given that, rather than correcting my 'mistakes' as you see them and deleting the age at which an astronaut died I suggest you correct the actual mistake in the template which prevents readers from seeing an astronaut's date of death :).-- Alvez3 ( talk) 15:09, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I honestly don't recall that being there the last time "We Are the Fallen" was removed. But it's there now, and I'm just a bit confused on how it fails now.

Sometime in the past you expressed an interest in getting WebCiteBOT running again or replaced. WebCiteBOT was a bot that submitted links to WebCitation.org in order to combat WP:LINKROT. I have recently started a WebCiteBOT Replacement Task Force to help coordinate an effort to do just that. I am cordially inviting you to express your opinion on the matter if you are interested. Thanks. - Hydroxonium ( H3O+) 14:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hunster, I have the video in the article, now. Can you please change the "start shot" for the video? The location on the sign doesn't mean much in the context of our article. Would like to have the 1:25 shot of the lady biologist holding a turtle. (Shows the topic of the video, and we have enough "turtle only" images all over the place. A human figure would draw people to watch the video.) See here: [22] P.s. Don't worry, if she looks tiny, I can make that 200px bigger, plenty of text around there.

Greetings Huntster: You were a tremendous help educating me on uploading images. I have now uploaded a Wikimedia photograph with permission at Marc Culler. I must have done it right because it has been taken down yet. Thank you so much-- Foobarnix ( talk) 10:50, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
I understand an edit summary by you:
to assert that there should be only one official site for an organization on an article page. I didn't find that direction at Template:Official website. If official guidance is to only allow one URL, shouldn't this be more explicitly stated in the template documentation especially the phrase "for labeling links to "official" websites" from which I infer that multiple URLs of an organization are acceptable since it uses the plural. Also the mobile option already provides a second website possibility.
Nor do I see any such direction in the comments about a proposed deletion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2009_August_13#Template:Official. The comments of User:Mrwojo at Template talk:Official website/doc#Don.27t agree with use of this template ""official flag" for a link" with the Google examples seem to imply that some in the community were assuming multiple URLs on a page.
The labeling of Sidelines as official was based on it being the MTSU supported (barely) student news organization, not a commercial venture focused on the University. I would assume the same logic would apply to WMTS-FM, the student run radio station.

Thanks for saving " map of the United States" as among 600? reader requests per day for maps. The dead article " Wikiatlas" (failed WP:NOTE) had been fielding reader requests who asked for redirect " USA map" or " map of Germany" (etc.). However, long-term User:Dbachmann began killing those redirects, unaware how hundreds of readers expected them. I also reset redirect "USA map" as:
-- Re-redirected to the "Cartography of the United States" in -- March 2011 (no longer to "Wikiatlas" from 2009) as being -- another article addressing "map of" wherever, which for -- "United States" or "USA", readers requested 155-730 per day -- during late 2007-2009 (averaging over 370 times per day). -- For "USA map" alone, daily requests averaged 90 per day, -- reduced to 70 per day in 2011.
I have put a modern U.S. map in " Cartography of the United States" so that readers can find their map faster. Thanks again. - Wikid77 09:31, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey Scetoaux, I can see from stalking SoxRed's toolserver that you are a main contributor to the Civil Air Patrol article. I believe this article has graduated to a FA, and I would like your input.

Hello Huntster,
i just read the message you left on my user page on wiki commons in january. Unfortunately i do not visit this page very often, but now i started my current project of improving the article of the Focke Wulf Fw 190 on the german wikipedia. Since i've drawn the X-15 i vastly improved my techniques - here`s a link to the images of the Fw 190 on wikimedia, you find them under "drawings":

Hi I nominated The Open Door for GA, but now I see that it has a lot of things to fix. For ex. when the news about their third album was sent on Evanescence.com all the news before were replaced and now they're gone. That's the same with their tours. Also there is one dead link about the release of "Weight of the World" and I can't find them. Would you help me?
I appreciate your advice and am sorry that I didn't follow through with it exactly on that Nashville Wiknic page. Some person named Lara then unleashed on me and, well, you've been around enough to know...Anyway, all I wanted to do was have a picnic, but Lara's pretty much spoiled that desire. I don't understand how some people who are such sticklers for formatting are so willing to throw out entire pages of Wikipedia community standards for conduct. RexHammock 21:18, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your continuing efforts at the newly popular article Arpad Vass. FWIW, I met Vass back before he was so much of a media star (but he has been an interesting guy for a long time), and I think it is quite likely that he was born in 1959. -- Orlady ( talk) 02:03, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Huntster, I have left a longer response to your query on my talkpage, however I wanted to also ask if you would ask Mr Vandeburgh if he'd like public domain or some kind of attrib license for his works here.

Your edit/comment about Nashville's 2010 population is erroneous. Final 2010 US Census figures have been available since March, and these now appear in all articles throughout Wikipedia (2009 US Census estimates are invalid). Nashville's population, defined by the Census Bureau as Nashville-Davidson minus all incorporated towns inside Nashville-Davidson, is 601,222, and that is reflected under List of United States cities by population; other consolidated cities (Jacksonville, FL and Augusta, GA) are treated the same way. The 601,222 figure for Nashville is official with the Census Bureau and will appear in all almanacs and encylopedias this year. Inflating this figure is POV/boosterism and runs counter to Wikipedia's rules. You'll note that Atlanta was estimated in 2009 to have well over 540,000 people. The actual 2010 Census showed 420,000, and Atlantans have had to accept the official population. Why can't Nashvillians and Tennesseans do the same? Mason.Jones ( talk) 14:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Evening Huntster, how are things? I was wondering if you might consider casting an eye over the Template:Infobox rocket engine, which is currently a bit shabby-looking.

File:Dr No trailer.jpg which I uploaded as a public domain property has been nominated for deletion. I followed the rationale that you provided for File:Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder.jpg, which came from the same work. Could you spare a minute or so to look over the licence and check whether I've misinterpreted the licence/rationale or whether the editor that nominated for deletion has misunderstood the reasoning? The way I see it is that both images should both go or they should both stay, since I don't see how one can be PD while the other isn't. If you can take a quick look I'd appreciate it.
