User talk:Sarge Baldy

Thank you for protection. As the version you protected includes the blunt lie "237,062 atom-bomb victims have died, but this tally includes everyone who was in the city when the bomb exploded who has since died." that can be easily shown to be wrong with the link the other version includes - the cumulative death toll associated with the effects of the bombing was 237,062. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/08/06/world/main634348.shtml) - I would like to ask you to make use of the rule that the protecting sysop may choose to protect the version favoured by those more closely complying with the guideline on repeated reverts. TDC reverted repeatedly and even went on when he had admitted at talk that his reverts made a lie reappear. Get-back-world-respect 18:27, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

A couple things. Do you think you should be protecting and favoring a particular version of the article when you are personally involved in the article? I would also like out point out that GBWR has also violated the three revert in 24 hours rule. Also the article provide by GBWR, unlike the link to the pathological report on the long term radiological effects of the bombing, provides no clue whatsoever as to how the "City of Hiroshima" came to its conclusions.

Moving Popes

Was there consensus somewhere to move all the popes to remove their titles? Somewhere in the instructions for editing (I don't have time to look up a link at the moment) it specifically said to use "Pope" for the titles of those articles. I don't really care whether it's there or not, but this is going to create a huge number of redirects (hopefully not double redirects)... Mpolo 19:27, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, the decision to leave "Pope" on is of long standing and is useful for distinguishing Popes from temporal authorities with exactly the same name. I don't think this one was thought through sufficiently. Stan 00:45, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning, but it would have been better to post the idea for review at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles), which is pretty specific about correct pope nomenclature. The existing convention was hammered out after much dispute; the only way you'll avoid excoriation now is if all the original debaters have died or moved away. :-) Stan 01:13, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Micronations

I notice you've made a number of positive contributions to various micronation articles recently. You may wish to keep an eye on Sealand in particular. A foaming-at-the-mouth anti-micronation nutter named Gzornenplatz has been using it as the subject of an edit war and stalking campaign for a number of months, and it looks as though he/she is at it again. --Gene_poole 05:45, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Deletionism

I think it is very unfortuant that Gay Kingdom is being deleted. I have made a copy before it gets deleted. It maybe helpful to work on it then respost it later when it is bigger. People cannot see beyond the stub in many cases. There is also the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Inclusionist_Wikipedians) to help save important articles.

License ?

Hi, could you tell me if Image:Lemming.jpg is GFDL or what its license is ? Thanks in advance. Tipiac 21:12, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer, we use it on french wikipedia. I'll post a message to say that license is unknown and it should be replaced. Thanks. Tipiac 01:36, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Deletionist campaign

Hi there. As someone who has displayed a fairly rational and objective attitude towards micronation articles in the past I thought you might be interested to note that the rabid deletionist lobby is on the march against them again.

The latest target is New Utopia, which although a poorly written article in its current form concerns a subject that is eminently encyclopaedic, being the latest in a long line of libertarian "new country projects" (and therefore representative of a notable social/historic phenomenon), being the subject of dozens of international press and TV stories, as well as the subject of a widely-known US Securities & Investment Commission investigation for fraud.

You might want to take a look at the VfD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/New_Utopia) and respond accordingly.

For future reference you might also want to note the articles in the Micronations Category (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Micronations), in order to keep an eye on its contents; I’ve been adding a number of well-researched, illustrated, fully referenced articles to this category in recent months, but there are moves afoot thanks to a highly suspect ongoing arbitration of process to have me banned (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Gene_Poole_vs._Samboy/Proposed_decision) completely from writing anything at all about micronations on the basis that as the founder of one, anything I write is somehow self-promotional and/or controversial. --Gene_poole 22:11, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

I was looking at the U.S. city and county articles and noticed that you've made some number of changes. I've chosen to multi-license all of the rambot contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or even {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. State]] article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Wikipedia:Multi-licensing), you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}} -- Ram-Man 13:47, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following images:

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 04:37, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

(Sorry about that, I accidently hit the enter key prematurely!)

I hope I did this right: right before you added Buneous Aries nightclub fire story to the Current events page, someone had (accidently, I hope) deleted all the content from 29 December to 20 December. I reverted this, but also added back your contribution, in the same edit. Was this the right way to do it?--Clipdude 07:46, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

More schools on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion

As of March 25, 2005, there are an additional (6) articles listed for deletion under the POV notion that schools are non-notable (even though this is invalid reasoning as per the Wikipedia deletion policy). Please be aware that the following schools are actively being discussed and voted upon:

Req. for your work on Sony v Universal

I think Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios could make a great featured article. It doesn't quite meet the requirements yet, but it could with a little work. In light of the debates and cases about digital piracy and the obligations of hardware/software creators, the affirmation/modification/elimination of the Sony precedent is a key issue for the future of information technology.

Since you've worked on the article in the past, feel free to take another look to bring it "up to code" for a nomination. Feco 21:05, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tesanj population

Where did you get the 1999 population number for Tesanj? Is it perhaps for the municipality rather than the town itself? It seems like too much of a growth since the last actual census... --Joy [shallot] 13:34, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense. I read that web page and confirmed your conclusion, and updated our article. Thanks :) --Joy [shallot]

Mary's vs Marys River

Just wanted to drop you a note about the apostrophe in geographical names. Basically in the U.S. the apostrophe is supressed in all geographical names, at least if you follow the conventions of the USGS USGS query form (http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form). I think they adopted this policy for all official names sometime in the early 20th century, much to the chagrin of many locals across the nation. The upshot is that basically there are no apostrophes in official names of features anywhere in the U.S. You're welcome to defend the apostrophe if you truly feel it necessary, but be aware that its no longer the "official" USGS name of the river. -- Decumanus 06:32, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)

Probably should move it back then, without the apostrophe, if you want the official version. You can always use the query link above to double check, but the rule does indeed apply to rivers. As you've seen, it doesn't stop colloquial local usage of continuation of the apostrophe, especially in newspapers (I used to copyedit for a small paper many years ago and can tell you that in many cases, the style enforcement is horrifyingly lax at times). I think it's good to make a nod to the colloquial usage. I tend to phrase it something like this: St. Marys River. -- Decumanus 06:48, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)

Thanks

For fixing up my Kevin Barry article. It's my first, so thanks for fixing up the formatting. --Agathon 72 18:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
