I'm sorry I tried to delete the logo, but we're not talking about an airport or a corporation, we're talking about a SKYSCRAPER. SKYSCRAPERs need to have, if any picture whatsoever, a picture of itself in the skyscraper box. I admit, I made a horrible mistake in rashly deleting it. Now I have shifted it to the gallery and replaced it with a picture of the actual building. Best Wishes. Fajubi ( talk) 00:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Fine, I will not interfere anymore with the logo as long as there is a picture of the actual building in the box too. It's a compromise I guess. Just for the record, if you find any skyscraper article on Wikipedia that incorporates a logo in its infobox, I would dearly like to know. Fajubi ( talk) 00:29, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I appreciate your cooperation and response to my request. However, although you found (or created) an article with a logo of a skyscraper, you didn't find another one with a logo in the infobox. On another note, you probably edit a lot of Houston articles, which coincidentially enough, I'm from too. Fajubi ( talk) 00:37, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I noticed your discussion with Kransky on his talk page in regards to closed consulates. Within Diplomatic missions in Russia I am in the future intending on breaking out the consulates in Saint Petersburg to its own Diplomatic missions in Saint Petersburg article; ths is due to the fact that SPB was once the capital of Russia, and as such also hosted many embassies up until the Bolshevik revolution and the city has a rich diplomatic history which is notable, verifiable and as such, should be noted. Notes on closures of embassies/consulates, etc should be in prose form, and should be notable in the overall structure. In terms of a country's diplomatic network, the closure of a consulate in say Houston is likely to be not all that notable. However, in terms of Diplomatic missions in Houston, it is entirely notable; a good format would have to chosen for such an article; and I would be suggesting such as Diplomatic missions in Russia. As noted here by another editor, compare the Russian list to List of diplomatic missions in India, and the Indian list is basically useless. I will be pushing with wikiprojects to get some consensus on what these articles should be containing and how they are formatted, because frankly, the way they are set up now is not encyclopaedic and does not allow for article development, either development of the list or development of other articles (such as the C-G in Houston).

This reflects a significant proportion of usage for Tesseiga in English language pages, over 40% (assuming that Japanese pages don't use the English name). To maintain WP:NPOV, Tesseiga can't just be ignored as a Japan-only name.
Blatant removal of unharmful and easily-sourced content does not improve the article. You have other options, such as "citation needed" tags and section headers. Much of the content you removed was encyclopedic, NPOV, and could quickly be backed up by reliable sources. All that was necessary was to remove all mentions of how Viz made a "mistake". The proper action in this situation would have been, if not a rewrite, a section tag which alerted others to the POV in the topic. -- Raijinili ( talk) 15:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for seeking consulation on the photograph of the lobby of the consulate in Houston. The question you need to ask is whether the picture really demonstrates what the item is, at first glance. My first impression is that I don't see a consulate. Instead, I see the door to an office. Is there anything notable about the office door? No, not really. An embassy building looks more unique than a generic office. Kransky ( talk) 10:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Are these facts notable? No. Is anything here relevant? The fact that they have a presence in Houston (because of oil interests) may be worth raising, but it is not worthwhile indicating through a photograph.

RE: inherent notability of library system. I would desperately love to see a discussion about this. I've looked through archives, and searched, and I cannot find a discussion like this. Discussions, though (as you may know), are very tedious to search through, so if you know where such a discussion might be, I really would like to know. This article (I did not notice who created it) simply lists such little information that it could be included in the parish article, and at this point I'd like you to consider that as an alternative.

I have failed the GA for this article. See comments here. While I would've loved to put it on hold, as you requested, I think the article is a long ways away from GA, and it's development needs to take a sharp turn in a different direction. The article appears to be written as if you're writing about a small city or town, and many of the sections and subsections appear to be following the guidelines for a US city article, which I don't think is accurate. Many sections are just too short, and it looks like you're trying to squeeze content to fit those sections where there really isn't any to begin with. What I think you need to do is write the article and structure it as if you're talking about a city neighborhood, and focus on the historical development and the culture of that neighborhood. I've provided links to some current GAs on neighborhoods in the review (linked above). If you could follow that format, I think you'll find it much easier to attain GA status,...

This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi Whispertome. Please do whatever you think is worth the trouble, but frankly I don't see the point anymore. After a while, we seem to be getting decreasing returns to scale on this subject. The consensus on the talk page is that the references are suitable. Even C.S. agrees, and he edited the wording for length. The WikiProject Japan page was contacted and their views seem clear on the subject. The reference is suitable. The Biography of Living Persons noticeboard was contacted, and their silence was indicative: they either don't care or they don't see anything objectionable. The reliable source noticeboard was contacted and one new editor responded, acknowledging that JapanReview is written by scholars, but offering an opinion. After others responded, he did not elaborate, suggesting to me that this situation is not a serious problem for him either. Only one user -- the subject -- appears to have a personal problem with using this source as a reference, despite the fact that he and other well-known authors obviously thought it noteworthy at the time to write into the JapanReview editors. Plus, as C.S. rightly points out, if Mr. Arudou were taken at his word, you would get the impression that JapanReview and Dr. Honjo were some random bloggers writing something negative about him. They are not (based on the evidence) and the review is obviously both notable and nuanced. To your credit, you've gone the extra mile to put Mr. Arudou's concerns at rest, but I honestly see little improvement in his behavior towards others. He continues to refer to Wikipedia as a "kangaroo court," despite warnings from The359. He continues to assume bad faith of users. He is uncivil in his language about Wikipedia and its contributors both here and his website, and unfortunately, he doesn't seem to care about such policies as WP:ATTACK, among many others. I admire the way you contacted several venues (you have more patience than I), but at some point (as C.S. says) it becomes overkill. J Readings ( talk) 04:17, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to "talk" to you in a place that's more casual than the talk page of the Arudou entry. (Others are welcome to join in, as long as it's ok with WhisperToMe.)
I'm assuming that Wikipedia embraces (at least to a certain extent) the spirit of "opposing viewpoints" that is everywhere prevalent in the US (from the adversarial legal system to the series of books presenting 2 opposing viewpoints to controversial issues, like abortion, death penalty, teaching of evolution, etc.)
Now, Arudou (the one-issue zealot) seems to be a person who is incapable of accepting this philosophy of "opposing viewpoints".
If there's a criticism in his entry that's 3 lines long, he can provide a 3-line (or longer) rebuttal and those opposing views can both be presented to the Wikipedia reader. In fact, if he can do this well, his credibility will only increase. (Antipating a typical criticism and rebutting it --- this is the ABC of persuasive writing they teach in high school.)
As far as I can tell, Arudou has never been able to do this.
On his website, he just deletes every comment that's inconvenient for him.
On the Wikipedia talk page, he just says something insulting like "Yes, it is essentially a blog post; [...] it's like swatting flies." (actual quote) and cannot provide any reasoned or intelligent rebuttal.
All he wants to do is to delete the criticism. For the Arudou entry so far, things have gone the way he wished. Has this (appeasing the bully) been typical of Wikipedia in such cases in the past? -- Addmi ( talk) 00:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
All in all, opposing viewpoints need to be published in reliable sources. CS more or less decided that JapanReview didn't make the cut because of WP:BLP concerns. The Japan Times response to the gaijin = n word controversy does make the cut. See [10] WhisperToMe ( talk) 20:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the responses. You are one of the least arrogant of the bunch. This is the first time I've witnessed Wikipedia being defeated by a bully. Have there been other cases in the past? (Could someone tell me? -- Maybe it's better on my talk page.) I'm interested in cases of Wikipedia appeasing a rude bully, BLP of a minor self-promotor (zealot) who obssessively meddles with his Wikipedia entry, etc. Thank you. -- Addmi ( talk) 15:39, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I'm Dylan, a Rocko's Modern Life fan (seriously, it's my favorite show!). I saw on it's article history that you are a main contributor to the Rocko's Modern Life article, I have something to ask you; do you think that it's time to nominate the article as a GAC? And if not, what improvements do you think could be made to the article so that it's capable of being a GA, or even a FA? I wanted to ask a main contributor of the article about the matter so that I don't end up repeating the mistake(s) I made in nominating Hurricane Kate (2003) as a featured article (although the nomination may still be successful, as it does meet the notability guidelines). Please reply sooner than later; although I am not a member of it (yet), the Nickelodeon WikiProject considers Rocko's Modern Life a Top-Importance article, and articles like that should always be attempted for at least GA-class quality, while Rocko's Modern Life currently stands at B-class.

After seeing your recent edit removing all info about Jennifer Hale, my initial instinct was to revert it, until I realized that's an honestly stupid decision. Instead, I should not act so childish, and give another thorough look at WP:BLP to see whether I understand and agree with your decision. That said, I did take a detailed look, and I'm not sure I agree. There's certainly no issue with privacy or human dignity here. I suppose it may be considered contentious in that it's displaying information that may be considered either ambiguous or outright wrong, but that wouldn't fall under BLP because of the fact that there's ample reliable third-party references that note this. If you took that segment out on the basis that you didn't consider tv.com, IMDb, or Rotten Tomatoes as reliable, then I think it should go back, because there's certainly a lot more references than that available that we just hadn't thought to put into the article, and could. I certainly could track down at least 5 refs in the next 20 minutes that would be considered reliable via community consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources#List, from sites like IGN and the like. So in this case, a "refimprove" template would probably have been a better choice than deleting the info. Arrowned ( talk) 19:21, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
If you'd like to propose a discussion to move the article to University of Montreal (unaccented e), that's a perfectly acceptable and reasonable discussion to have. But University of Montréal (accented e) isn't an appropriate title, as it's a non-standard hybrid of French and English spelling. I'm not attempting to forestall any discussion about it, but if the article is moved from the French title to an English one the e in Montreal needs to be unaccented. There is an official preference for retaining the accented e on Montreal in institutional usage, but it's not reflected in common, everyday use at all. Bearcat ( talk) 20:51, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

P.S.: Could you please make an icon for the task force? (Preferably a purple triangle in front of a blue background, to resemble Rocko's shirt.) I would do it myself (I even tried doing it myself), but for some reason, I'm having a difficulty uploading the picture to Wikipedia.
OK, where's the icon for the task force? Oh, and I just planned a simple purple triangle in front of a blue background. Dylan620 ( yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 20:55 UTC October 26, 2008
I don't mean to be rude, but the image you made wasn't quite what I had in mind. What I did have in mind was a blue square with an equilateral right-side-up purple triangle in the center. Oh, and about that file I made, whenever I try to upload it, there's a message in red saying "corrupt file or incorrect extension." Like your result, it's meant to be a "png" image.

Hi WhisperToMe,
Got a question about the removal of lists of people from places, such as this edit. Your edit summary mentions BLP ( Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons), so I was wondering which provision in that policy is the reason for the removal. The policy is quite clear in stating that we should remove "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material," but I don't imagine these lists of "people from" or "people associated with" or in this case simply "people" would be considered contentious. Is there a discussion going on somewhere or some other reason for removing these? Having put a lot of work into those lists, I'd like to see them stay, but if there's a reason we have to remove them, I'll understand.

Sorry, I did not realize you were using the Amazon.com link as a signal of notability. That being said, I would still argue that Amazon isn't the best resource for this purpose. After all, Amazon.com sells just about everything and its information is not always accurate. Perhaps a better resource would be the New York Times page on the film? [11] Tryptofeng ( talk) 15:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Why do you keep removing the notability tag from this article? If you check the talk page, you will see there is existing discussion debating whether it is actually notable enough to support its having been split from Weekly Shōnen Jump. It was also discussed at the time I split it from the article that it may or may not actually have enough notability to support a full article ( Talk:Weekly Shōnen Jump/Archive 1#Split SHONEN JUMP?). Rather than just remove the tag, why not join the discussion and explain why you feel it is notable. In the case of a magazine, just having one or two sources that mention it is not enough to fully establish notability. If it can not be brought up to the level of Shojo Beat or Shonen Jump and and if all that can be said about it is what is there now, it isn't notable and could be remerged back to WSJ without any real loss of information. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 18:07, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry I tried to delete the logo, but we're not talking about an airport or a corporation, we're talking about a SKYSCRAPER. SKYSCRAPERs need to have, if any picture whatsoever, a picture of itself in the skyscraper box. I admit, I made a horrible mistake in rashly deleting it. Now I have shifted it to the gallery and replaced it with a picture of the actual building. Best Wishes. Fajubi ( talk) 00:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Fine, I will not interfere anymore with the logo as long as there is a picture of the actual building in the box too. It's a compromise I guess.

I appreciate your cooperation and response to my request. However, although you found (or created) an article with a logo of a skyscraper, you didn't find another one with a logo in the infobox.

I noticed your discussion with Kransky on his talk page in regards to closed consulates. Within Diplomatic missions in Russia I am in the future intending on breaking out the consulates in Saint Petersburg to its own Diplomatic missions in Saint Petersburg article; ths is due to the fact that SPB was once the capital of Russia, and as such also hosted many embassies up until the Bolshevik revolution and the city has a rich diplomatic history which is notable, verifiable and as such, should be noted. Notes on closures of embassies/consulates, etc should be in prose form, and should be notable in the overall structure. In terms of a country's diplomatic network, the closure of a consulate in say Houston is likely to be not all that notable. However, in terms of Diplomatic missions in Houston, it is entirely notable; a good format would have to chosen for such an article; and I would be suggesting such as Diplomatic missions in Russia. As noted here by another editor, compare the Russian list to List of diplomatic missions in India, and the Indian list is basically useless. I will be pushing with wikiprojects to get some consensus on what these articles should be containing and how they are formatted, because frankly, the way they are set up now is not encyclopaedic and does not allow for article development, either development of the list or development of other articles (such as the C-G in Houston).

This reflects a significant proportion of usage for Tesseiga in English language pages, over 40% (assuming that Japanese pages don't use the English name). To maintain WP:NPOV, Tesseiga can't just be ignored as a Japan-only name.
Blatant removal of unharmful and easily-sourced content does not improve the article. You have other options, such as "citation needed" tags and section headers. Much of the content you removed was encyclopedic, NPOV, and could quickly be backed up by reliable sources. All that was necessary was to remove all mentions of how Viz made a "mistake". The proper action in this situation would have been, if not a rewrite, a section tag which alerted others to the POV in the topic. -- Raijinili ( talk) 15:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for seeking consulation on the photograph of the lobby of the consulate in Houston. The question you need to ask is whether the picture really demonstrates what the item is, at first glance. My first impression is that I don't see a consulate. Instead, I see the door to an office. Is there anything notable about the office door? No, not really. An embassy building looks more unique than a generic office. Kransky ( talk) 10:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: inherent notability of library system. I would desperately love to see a discussion about this. I've looked through archives, and searched, and I cannot find a discussion like this. Discussions, though (as you may know), are very tedious to search through, so if you know where such a discussion might be, I really would like to know. This article (I did not notice who created it) simply lists such little information that it could be included in the parish article, and at this point I'd like you to consider that as an alternative. If you really want a separate article, I'll restore it and take other actions instead, such as a mergeto tag. Let me know. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 13:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I have failed the GA for this article. See comments here. While I would've loved to put it on hold, as you requested, I think the article is a long ways away from GA, and it's development needs to take a sharp turn in a different direction. The article appears to be written as if you're writing about a small city or town, and many of the sections and subsections appear to be following the guidelines for a US city article, which I don't think is accurate. Many sections are just too short, and it looks like you're trying to squeeze content to fit those sections where there really isn't any to begin with. What I think you need to do is write the article and structure it as if you're talking about a city neighborhood, and focus on the historical development and the culture of that neighborhood. I've provided links to some current GAs on neighborhoods in the review (linked above). If you could follow that format, I think you'll find it much easier to attain GA status,...

In this edit [8] you entered the victims real last name when posting in the debate over whether to include it. As including the real name is currently a WP:BLP issue we must not mention the real name either in the article or on the talk page. If you read through the talk page you will see I've already had to remove the name a number of times. Accordingly I've replaced the real name with "the victim".

Thank you for uploading Image:JackHensley.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle ( talk) 11:24, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Whispertome. Please do whatever you think is worth the trouble, but frankly I don't see the point anymore. After a while, we seem to be getting decreasing returns to scale on this subject. The consensus on the talk page is that the references are suitable. Even C.S. agrees, and he edited the wording for length. The WikiProject Japan page was contacted and their views seem clear on the subject. The reference is suitable. The Biography of Living Persons noticeboard was contacted, and their silence was indicative: they either don't care or they don't see anything objectionable. The reliable source noticeboard was contacted and one new editor responded, acknowledging that JapanReview is written by scholars, but offering an opinion. After others responded, he did not elaborate, suggesting to me that this situation is not a serious problem for him either. Only one user -- the subject -- appears to have a personal problem with using this source as a reference, despite the fact that he and other well-known authors obviously thought it noteworthy at the time to write into the JapanReview editors. Plus, as C.S. rightly points out, if Mr. Arudou were taken at his word, you would get the impression that JapanReview and Dr. Honjo were some random bloggers writing something negative about him. They are not (based on the evidence) and the review is obviously both notable and nuanced. To your credit, you've gone the extra mile to put Mr. Arudou's concerns at rest, but I honestly see little improvement in his behavior towards others. He continues to refer to Wikipedia as a "kangaroo court," despite warnings from The359. He continues to assume bad faith of users. He is uncivil in his language about Wikipedia and its contributors both here and his website, and unfortunately, he doesn't seem to care about such policies as WP:ATTACK, among many others. I admire the way you contacted several venues (you have more patience than I), but at some point (as C.S. says) it becomes overkill. J Readings ( talk) 04:17, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to "talk" to you in a place that's more casual than the talk page of the Arudou entry. (Others are welcome to join in, as long as it's ok with WhisperToMe.)
I'm assuming that Wikipedia embraces (at least to a certain extent) the spirit of "opposing viewpoints" that is everywhere prevalent in the US (from the adversarial legal system to the series of books presenting 2 opposing viewpoints to controversial issues, like abortion, death penalty, teaching of evolution, etc.)
Now, Arudou (the one-issue zealot) seems to be a person who is incapable of accepting this philosophy of "opposing viewpoints".
If there's a criticism in his entry that's 3 lines long, he can provide a 3-line (or longer) rebuttal and those opposing views can both be presented to the Wikipedia reader. In fact, if he can do this well, his credibility will only increase. (Antipating a typical criticism and rebutting it --- this is the ABC of persuasive writing they teach in high school.)
As far as I can tell, Arudou has never been able to do this.
On his website, he just deletes every comment that's inconvenient for him.
On the Wikipedia talk page, he just says something insulting like "Yes, it is essentially a blog post; [...] it's like swatting flies." (actual quote) and cannot provide any reasoned or intelligent rebuttal.
All he wants to do is to delete the criticism. For the Arudou entry so far, things have gone the way he wished. Has this (appeasing the bully) been typical of Wikipedia in such cases in the past? -- Addmi ( talk) 00:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
All in all, opposing viewpoints need to be published in reliable sources. CS more or less decided that JapanReview didn't make the cut because of WP:BLP concerns. The Japan Times response to the gaijin = n word controversy does make the cut. See [10] WhisperToMe ( talk) 20:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the responses. You are one of the least arrogant of the bunch. This is the first time I've witnessed Wikipedia being defeated by a bully. Have there been other cases in the past? (Could someone tell me? -- Maybe it's better on my talk page.) I'm interested in cases of Wikipedia appeasing a rude bully, BLP of a minor self-promotor (zealot) who obssessively meddles with his Wikipedia entry, etc. Thank you. -- Addmi ( talk) 15:39, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I'm Dylan, a Rocko's Modern Life fan (seriously, it's my favorite show!). I saw on it's article history that you are a main contributor to the Rocko's Modern Life article, I have something to ask you; do you think that it's time to nominate the article as a GAC? And if not, what improvements do you think could be made to the article so that it's capable of being a GA, or even a FA? I wanted to ask a main contributor of the article about the matter so that I don't end up repeating the mistake(s) I made in nominating Hurricane Kate (2003) as a featured article (although the nomination may still be successful, as it does meet the notability guidelines). Please reply sooner than later; although I am not a member of it (yet), the Nickelodeon WikiProject considers Rocko's Modern Life a Top-Importance article, and articles like that should always be attempted for at least GA-class quality, while Rocko's Modern Life currently stands at B-class.

After seeing your recent edit removing all info about Jennifer Hale, my initial instinct was to revert it, until I realized that's an honestly stupid decision. Instead, I should not act so childish, and give another thorough look at WP:BLP to see whether I understand and agree with your decision. That said, I did take a detailed look, and I'm not sure I agree. There's certainly no issue with privacy or human dignity here. I suppose it may be considered contentious in that it's displaying information that may be considered either ambiguous or outright wrong, but that wouldn't fall under BLP because of the fact that there's ample reliable third-party references that note this. If you took that segment out on the basis that you didn't consider tv.com, IMDb, or Rotten Tomatoes as reliable, then I think it should go back, because there's certainly a lot more references than that available that we just hadn't thought to put into the article, and could. I certainly could track down at least 5 refs in the next 20 minutes that would be considered reliable via community consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources#List, from sites like IGN and the like. So in this case, a "refimprove" template would probably have been a better choice than deleting the info. Arrowned ( talk) 19:21, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
If you'd like to propose a discussion to move the article to University of Montreal (unaccented e), that's a perfectly acceptable and reasonable discussion to have. But University of Montréal (accented e) isn't an appropriate title, as it's a non-standard hybrid of French and English spelling. I'm not attempting to forestall any discussion about it, but if the article is moved from the French title to an English one the e in Montreal needs to be unaccented. There is an official preference for retaining the accented e on Montreal in institutional usage, but it's not reflected in common, everyday use at all. Bearcat ( talk) 20:51, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

You know about how I nominated Rocko's Modern Life as a GA candidate? I just thought I'd let you know that I've started a task force on the subject. You would be very welcome to join, especially considering that you appear to be a prime contributor to the topic. Dylan620 ( yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 15:38 UTC October 26, 2008
I notice you have joined the Rocko's Modern Life task force, so I'm here to welcome you! Since you signed up, I have written a to-do list for the task force, which can be found here. Although we could benefit from the joining of additional members, I'm not surprised that we're the only two, considering I just founded the task force this morning. Well, good luck! Dylan620 ( yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 20:44 UTC October 26, 2008
P.S.: Could you please make an icon for the task force? (Preferably a purple triangle in front of a blue background, to resemble Rocko's shirt.) I would do it myself (I even tried doing it myself), but for some reason, I'm having a difficulty uploading the picture to Wikipedia.
OK, where's the icon for the task force? Oh, and I just planned a simple purple triangle in front of a blue background. Dylan620 ( yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 20:55 UTC October 26, 2008
I don't mean to be rude, but the image you made wasn't quite what I had in mind. What I did have in mind was a blue square with an equilateral right-side-up purple triangle in the center. Oh, and about that file I made, whenever I try to upload it, there's a message in red saying "corrupt file or incorrect extension." Like your result, it's meant to be a "png" image. Dylan620 ( yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 21:24 UTC October 26, 2008
That second file did the trick. It will be that file that will be used to design the task force's userbox. Oh, and thank you for designing the logo. Dylan620 ( yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 01:08 UTC October 27, 2008

Thanks for all of the images you have contributed (and inserted into articles) from Austin, Texas. EagleAg04 ( talk) 16:37, 26 October 2008 (UTC) |
I wouldn't forget a GA on the portal! I put it at the top of the list. Congrats! :) Postoak ( talk) 03:40, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi WhisperToMe,
Got a question about the removal of lists of people from places, such as this edit. Your edit summary mentions BLP ( Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons), so I was wondering which provision in that policy is the reason for the removal. The policy is quite clear in stating that we should remove "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material," but I don't imagine these lists of "people from" or "people associated with" or in this case simply "people" would be considered contentious. Is there a discussion going on somewhere or some other reason for removing these? Having put a lot of work into those lists, I'd like to see them stay, but if there's a reason we have to remove them, I'll understand.

Sorry, I did not realize you were using the Amazon.com link as a signal of notability. That being said, I would still argue that Amazon isn't the best resource for this purpose. After all, Amazon.com sells just about everything and its information is not always accurate. Perhaps a better resource would be the New York Times page on the film?

Why do you keep removing the notability tag from this article? If you check the talk page, you will see there is existing discussion debating whether it is actually notable enough to support its having been split from Weekly Shōnen Jump. It was also discussed at the time I split it from the article that it may or may not actually have enough notability to support a full article ( Talk:Weekly Shōnen Jump/Archive 1#Split SHONEN JUMP?). Rather than just remove the tag, why not join the discussion and explain why you feel it is notable. In the case of a magazine, just having one or two sources that mention it is not enough to fully establish notability. If it can not be brought up to the level of Shojo Beat or Shonen Jump and and if all that can be said about it is what is there now, it isn't notable and could be remerged back to WSJ without any real loss of information. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 18:07, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
