haiku

I replied to your comment at Talk:Haiku. Also, please try to "sign" your Talk page posts by adding four tildes at the end (like this: ~~~~). BlankVerse ∅ 20:38, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I forget where it is, but there is a spot on the Wikipedia where you can ask for translations to be done. I have a feeling that some of the haiku article (for example, the section titled "Techniques of haiku") is probably already from the Japanese Wikipedia article because it uses terms that are not usually seen in English-language haiku books--even those that are on Japanese haiku. Quite a few of the articles on Japanese topics that are in the English Wikipedia are from translations from the Japanese Wikipedia, although most have since been edited, refactored, and added to. If you are interested in Japanese topics, there is also a Japanese WikiProject. BlankVerse ∅ 08:36, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pointless Waste of Time

Hi, I note that your edit summary on this article reads: " this page was deleted after thourough discussion and procedure". Looking at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pointless Waste of Time I see that the discussion was closed with the conclusion "already deleted."

Looking at the deletion log for all deletions after the VfD was started I see:

1. 18:39, 15 Apr 2005 Jni deleted "Pointless waste of time?" (content was: 'Fart!!!!')
2. 21:38, 15 Apr 2005 Jni deleted "Pointless waste of time?" (content was: '{{d}}I love JC!')
3. 03:41, 16 Apr 2005 Neutrality deleted "Pointless Waste of Time" (Speedied twice, massive sockpuppetry on VfD)
4. 03:56, 16 Apr 2005 Neutrality deleted "Pointless Waste of Time" (content was: 'Me wants it.{{del}}')

...and so on. So you see the article was deleted for spurious reasons (the version saying 'fart' could easily be reverted and then the page protected). Massive sock puppetry on a VfD discussion does not prevent protection of the page. Now I've closed VfDs where sock puppets were involved and, although it's not particularly easy, nor is it rendered impossible. The article was deleted outside the VfD process and no valid reason existed for deletion. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:49, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

As there was a content dispute I've protected the article. Now there can be no vandalism problem on that article, so don't worry. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:02, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Ann Arbor, Michigan - Images

Thanks for adding images to the article. Just out of curiosity - do you have any pictures of the Ann Arbor skyline and the AATA buses? I think those would be the final images needed for the article at the moment. Thanks. Pentawing 18:04, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Chicago area meetup

I've finally decided on a place for the first Wikipedia meetup in Chicago: 2 p.m. at Saturday, October 15th at Cafe Iberico, a tapas bar in the River North neighborhood of Chicago at 739 N. La Salle Drive. They have parking available and are 0.3 mile from the Chicago stop of the CTA Red Line. See their website for parking information; for transit planning use the RTA trip planner with a destination address of "739 N. La Salle Dr." Cafe Iberico has vegetarian selections for those who are so inclined (sorry, they're not very vegan-friendly, I'm afraid). The food is excellent and the environment very suitable for an informal gathering. Do check their webpage for any additional questions, or ask me. They typically cost typically costs between $10 and $15 per person; I'm willing to cover for anyone for whom this is too much (as long as we don't get too many people).

Please let me know before Saturday, October 8th (by email or on my talk page) if you're planning on coming so I can make the appropriate reservations. See you there! Oh, and please share this invitation with anyone you know of in the Chicago area who I've missed. Kelly Martin 19:53, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• Just to let you know that the article is now on the FAC board. Feel free to look over it. Pentawing 00:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Preventing vandalism

Hi Tlogmer. First, I owe you an apology: looking back at your edit that I reverted it was clearly not vandalism and in good-faith. I should not have used rollback. I was sitting in the #wikipedia-en-vandalism IRC channel and >90% of the edits to Gay that go through there are vandalism. Editing that notice just looked like it. That's no excuse, and I should have been more careful.

Still, I'm inclined to think there should be no such notice at all at the top of articles since it just prods the vandals into thinking "hey, they wrote me a notice, now let's earn it!". WP:BEANS etc. The notice is also selective in the policies it singles out: choosing WP:NPOV over WP:V and WP:NOR, for example. It also makes me worry about biting newbies: "warning: your first edit might get you blocked if it's what we think is vandalism". Until a clueless newbie knows what vandalism is, it just makes another hurdle, albeit a small one, to them editing. There has been both an HTML comment and an actual tag on George W. Bush from time to time — probably our most heavily vandalised article at present. Both have been removed for the same sort of reasons I describe above. -Splash^talk 02:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Check this one out Many worlds in one Jaume Garriga, Alexander Vilenkin

A generic prediction of inflation is that the thermalized region we inhabit is spatially infinite. Thus, it contains an infinite number of regions of the same size as our observable universe, which we shall denote as $\O$-regions. We argue that the number of possible histories which may take place inside of an $\O$-region, from the time of recombination up to the present time, is finite. Hence, there are an infinite number of $\O$-regions with identical histories up to the present, but which need not be identical in the future. Moreover, all histories which are not forbidden by conservation laws will occur in a finite fraction of all $\O$-regions. The ensemble of $\O$-regions is reminiscent of the ensemble of universes in the many-world picture of quantum mechanics. An important difference, however, is that other $\O$-regions are unquestionably real.

Comments:

1. PLEASE keep the paragraphs long and the article of a decent length - some day someone will want to WP:FAC this :)
2. The last paragraph of common criticisms may get long, but it should be dealt with then if any more events happen - right now it simply doesn't explain anything. With it in is it good because it extends the article, which for the moment is a good thing.
3. the portmonteau line, or something similar may still be a good idea because it can inform those unfamiliar with the situation why the image in question is a saterization

I don't disagree that short paragraphs are better then long ones - but here our featured articles usually have just long paragraphs - see basically any of our featured articles for example. Anyway, hope I didn't scare you off - please feel free to continue editing :) - i've been at it all day and long since met my three revert limit, so I won't do anything like that. Also, the pormantau line probably could have come off as a joke I guess, I was trying to put a little flair in my writing and it probably came off the wrong way, LOL :).Just another star in the night ^{T | @ | C} 11:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia head Jimmy Wales alleged that the site was a "hoax," and its creators "almost certainly people who have been banned by Wikipedia", but, like the Wikitruth authors, did not provide evidence.

Hi Tlogmer. For the moment I have removed this because it was somewhat ambiguous, or I did not understand the intended meaning. Does this mean that the Wikitruth authors did not provide evidence that they are banned, or something else? Can't sleep, clown will eat me 06:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello there, lad. First, thank you very much for proposing a new system. Discussion and ideas like these are great things for WP, no matter what the result.

While I know that you have the best of intentions and I don't want you at all to take this offensively, please, please, please, don't create all of those as templates until we've finished talking over this idea here. Honestly, I never would have ever posted this, but after I read your comment that you were going to start making them I became worried that all of those would become bluelinks before I had a chance to make my points.

Thanks for listening. Again, I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, I just wanted to be sure that this wouldn't get started before discussion was over. Yours, Snoutwood (tóg) 00:10, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Because it was just a sketch, and I don't have any vector drawing software, I made it in Microsoft Publisher, the idea being that if the sketch was chosen, someone more talented than I could make a proper version on some proper vector software. I have the publisher file, but I doubt it can be turned into an SVG or similar. Still, I've uploaded a flat version.

License tagging for Image:Active users.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Active users.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Reverting

Hi Tlogmer, thanks for writing to me. In the case of what I think is your contention that good faith edits should not be reverted, I completely agree. A few days past, I reverted a re-write of an introductory paragraph when I noted that every sentence that was changed had an error in it. I simply reverted back to the original work (not my own by the way which some other editors have insinuated). I had the article in my watch list and made a full explanation in the aggrieved editor's talk page. I do not consider the original article mine and only lately have I made some substantive edits to the article (in order I felt to make some sort of retribution). Just explaining my position.

So this isn't intended for enormous long lists of examples just because they're ridiculously long?

You can keep sandboxes for as long as you want, but userfied deleted articles (which aren't sandboxes) cannot be kept in userspace indefinitely; such pages have been deleted at MFD in the past.

Userfied deleted articles that have a "delete" consensus in AFD have to be deleted at some point if they aren't improved; after all, it's the same article complete with all its history, just in your user space (user space pages are not immune to deletion). Sandboxes are just prototype articles you've started and are working on, and haven't been the subject of a deletion debate. --Coredesat 22:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.

Fair use rationale for Image:Rosetta_disk.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rosetta_disk.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Using Meta:File:I hacked wikipedia.jpg in Wikipedia:Merchandise

I think Meta:File:I hacked wikipedia.jpg would be a great example in the "gift shop" section in Wikipedia:Merchandise. However, its license requires permission. Can you give or do you know where to get permission to use the file there? Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Link to your user page from article Wikipedia

Howdy. I've been looking at cross-namespace links lately, particlarly those into user-space. Your own user page is linked from the article Wikipedia, with reference to your book. Links from the main encyclopedia to user pages are generally a bad idea; they will not work on sites that mirror Wikipedia and even on the main web-site can confuse naive users by exposing them to the behind-the-scenes 'plumbing' that we editors use. More generally, it's normally only appropriate to link to subjects that are encyclopaedic - that is, that have (or deserve) their own article in the main namespace.

I'd normally just be bold and remove the link, but as it's an important article and you're a long-standing and experienced editor I'm posting here first. If I don't hear from you in a week or two I'll go ahead an delink. Cheers. - TB (talk) 12:30, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Tlogmer! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 272 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Rescue

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Template:Rescue, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mtking ^(edits) 23:23, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
