==Name change worries== |
|||
Hello again! I am quite concerned [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Helvig_of_Holstein#Move_to_Hedwig_of_Holstein here] that the article will be name-changed incorrectly. Apparently some publications of lower quality have misunderstood what the queen's name was, somebody probably one time thought the "l" in Helvig (a practically unknown name) was a misprint for Hedvig (more well known name) and this has spead in some less educated literature in English. These two users are trying to get the error established here on en.WP. Any neutral ideas? [[User:SergeWoodzing|SergeWoodzing]] ([[User talk:SergeWoodzing|talk]]) 09:43, 21 October 2009 (UTC) |
Revision as of 09:43, 21 October 2009
Sorry Mr S...

Hello,
There is a dispute [1] about the publication of WikiVoices #45 of which you were a particapant. Do you have any comments to add about how this matter has been handled? 99.150.255.75 (talk) 04:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Re: Redirects
Thanks for your welcome message, and fixing the redirects for me - I wasn't expected to have someone looking over me, but appreciate the help. As far as redirects go, I've tried to redirect Alberta Court of Appeal to Court of Appeal of Alberta, but think I somehow screwed up because it doesn't the former doesn't bring you directly to the latter. Could you please double check it for me?
Thanks. Canadian Copy Editor (talk) 05:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Changing discussion headings
Hi Steve! Hope you are OK. Am I right or wrong here about discussion headings. That user and I both need to be sure. Best to you! SergeWoodzing (talk) 00:01, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Deleted image
I am not sure why you deleted the image. Please show how it was not a fair use image, or help me make the case for it if I have done it inappropriately. Is there a way to use the image?--Die4Dixie (talk) 02:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have uploaded very few things and technology is challenging to say the least for me.--Die4Dixie (talk) 03:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Could this be used [[2]] ?--Die4Dixie (talk) 03:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- A rather icky source has some pictures of the subject. Does the source mtter if is a notable person?( The source is Stormfront via yahoo images). Could I email themand ask for them to release the rights?--Die4Dixie (talk) 03:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- If they claim ownership, then how should I proceed? Would we take their word for it abscent evidence o the contrary? If I go to the trouble of contacting them,I don´t want to have wasted my time or would the email address that I left handel that? Kinda icky, I really don´t want toeven log onto their site to find out.--Die4Dixie (talk) 03:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Is photobucket any good?--Die4Dixie (talk) 04:22, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- I thought flicker and other such sites were released unless the author specifically says they are not. Am I wrong?--Die4Dixie (talk) 04:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Finally tracked own the owner of the material or some very similiar. Not very pleasant stuff to wade through: [[3]]. I imagine that he really is the owner.--Die4Dixie (talk) 06:51, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- That image is a clear BLP violation. 65.95.117.31 (talk) 13:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- I tend to agree with the I.P. It's possible that a BLP-compliant image could be extracted from that cover, but in any event I doubt that the owner of that site owns the copyright to the images. Steve Smith (talk) 15:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Edmonton Mayor Photos
Hey, I was just curious as to where you got some of the pictures of Edmonton mayors you've uploaded. I see you have cited he Edmonton Public Library, but can you elaborate? I am quite interested myself, and would love to know where you got the pictures. Was it a book? Connormah (talk) 04:54, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for the response. You have done great work on Alberta premier/Edmonton mayor pages, so I'd like to thank you. I am currently also trying to find signatures of some premiers, do you know of any places on which to search? I have contacted the Provincial Archives, but there is a fee for scanning. If there are no other places, there is no problem, I'll just follow through with the Provincial Archives. Thanks. Connormah (talk) 20:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
sorry
sorry, the person who thought me how to edit vandilism didn't know himself that just because something is tagged or is from an ip user, doent mean its vandilism, I found that out later. I'm not blaming anyone but myself, so, I'm sorry. regards--Orangesodakid 15:54, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
How do I find people on wikipedia to help create articles?
Hi again,
As you know, I'm trying to create biographies for Justices of the Court of Appeal of Alberta. I've done lots of the leg work, with a list of their names, dates in office, links to sites, etc, but require additional help. How do I go about finding/soliciting/encouraging help? Thanks.

DYK nomination of Accurate News and Information Act
Hello! Your submission of Accurate News and Information Act at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Cryptic C62 · Talk 15:38, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
WP:FOUR award
At WP:FOUR we attempt to have all nominators review one nomination to keep the queue to a reasonable length. If you have time please review another nomination.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:23, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing my award, and no problem about the extra formatting! I still have some way to go to catch up with you, though... BencherliteTalk 06:47, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Slim Question
- I mean no offense, but you are very geographically close in New Brunswick to a part of the problem. What exactly is your interest, and how did you manage to see that edit and 2 minutes later be on my page? With out an explanation, it seems kinda creepy.--Die4Dixie (talk) 07:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- I appreciate your email, but was unsure if you meant to suggest that I had harrassed the user you mentioned in some way. I believe it might have been better for you to have disclosed that link before voting there. Any way. I think you´re a fine admin, and a fine person, but I think I will handle it quietly and have my ducks in a row when I get there.--Die4Dixie (talk) 08:22, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that another editor blanked out the AfD - was this a correct move? I would have thought not, but as the closing admin I'll leave it for you to decide if it should have been blanked or not, and if not to rollback to the previous version. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 11:19, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
incomplete deletion
Hi, I just came across List of sea captains which appears to be a sister list to list of naval commanders which you deleted here. If you delete the one, I really don't see why you would not delete the other at the same time. PDBailey (talk) 22:28, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- I would have argued that this would have been a very good reason NOT to delete this item, that they deletion should have had to make sense first. I think deletion is supposed to make Wikipedia's layout make more sense, not less. PDBailey (talk) 15:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I proposed the captains for deletion and this really bothers me: many respectable editors are arguing for keep without even mentioning that an essentially identical article was deleted. Do they think this is a good policy? argh. PDBailey (talk) 01:25, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

...for your copyedit to and comments on Overman Committee. I'll try to get to the comments ASAP, but I might not have time for another 24 hours. Thanks again. Bsimmons666 (talk) 22:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- No problem with the criticism, it wasn't harsh at all. I was genuinely surprised by Markles' comment that it's a "well-written article". Bsimmons666 (talk) 22:43, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Onto the next name on the list, eh? I'll try to get to reviewing the article within a couple days. Incidentally, its a shame the next provincial election is still 2+ years away. You can almost feel how the media wants another classic Alberta revolution with the Wildrose Alliance right now. Resolute 03:11, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- lol! Good thing the gears of the election cycle have your best interests in mind! I've been looking at the WAP related articles trying to decide if I even want to wade into that mess. Resolute 03:26, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I've added my comments to the peer review. As I said there, I don't think it's quite at FA-level yet, but it shouldn't take too much to get it there - it's a great article. As for your offer, can I postpone it? I don't have anything at the moment, but probably will soon. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 03:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
