Railroad Earth

edit

Please take more care when tagging articles for deletion in the future. Railroad Earth wasn't really vanity they performed at multiple festivals and have multiple CDs out as well as being formed from a popular band. This qualifies as per guidelines at WP:MUSIC. If you think this is in error, please list on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion instead. - Mgm|(talk) 12:22, 19 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Deletion

edit

Hi! I agree that your subject was notable, but the article wasn't much more than a "predicate nominative," that is, just an opening sentence that anyone researching the subject already knows.

A good stub should have at least three good, informative sentences. That's just a guideline, of course. Feel free to recreate the article if you can find a few more biographical/historical articles about her. Happy new year! - Lucky 6.9 23:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Loyola Seal

edit

Why did you change the seal on the Loyola page? The old one is the official seal of the school, and is properly sized, while the one you put in is too large and is just a logo, not the seal. Liamdaly620 01:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thinking aloud -- The seal might look better without the grey background. They've always been focused on branding, the 150th anniversary banners were up on Charles St. for a good 2 years. It's like they say, as long as they spell the name right there's no bad advertising. At least tell me they left the cigar dog on the last window of McManus (opposite the art gallery)...

{{tl}}

edit

I note that in User:DCrazy/Force Static (a very interesting proposal, i might add) you refer to {{tl}} as a tempalte that should be used with subst. You should be aware that the current consensus on WP:SUBST is that tl, cl and similer tempaltes should not be subst'd, not merely that it is optional to do so. Personaly i am fairly careful to subst appropraite tempaltes, but I never subst tl, nor cl. DES (talk) 21:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Meh. Missed that one. For me, {{tl}} isn't complex, but I guess for the standard wiki user it is. --DCrazy talk/contrib 21:27, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

move war

edit

Hi please cool down a bit. Radiant and Neto are currently engaged in a move war at WP:AUM. Please don't fuel to that. The page flips currently back and forth :-). BTW many thanks for your very good ideas on templates. We should definitely spin this further. I'm back at next circa 08:00 UTC (need some sleep now, its 1 am for me :-). Best regards. --Adrian Buehlmann 00:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Blargh, shoulda noticed the moves peppered throughout the page's history. I think my point still stands, but as we all know, logical arguments are worth zilch on the internet. Take a look at that God-awful flamewar called Wikipedia, for example! :P --DCrazy talk/contrib 00:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

{{unblock|There are some good people here at Loyola. A lot, in fact. And some of us can find out who the Loyola Vandal is, thanks to our static IPs.}} Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Curps for the following reason (see our blocking policy): "persistent vandalism from Loyola College in Maryland, please have your network administrator contact Wikipedia"

Please contact User talk:Curps about lifting this block.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 03:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
If your network admin can find out who is reponsible and take action to prevent further occurance do so and get them to contact Curps as the block message says. No vandalism == No blocks. --pgk(talk) 08:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
I don't think blocking an entire academic institution such as Loyola is a good idea, because despite the efforts of a few vandals good academic information can come. Would MIT ever be so blanket-banned? I think not. Even if our academic output does not nearly rival that of MIT (a point I will readily concede), that is no reason to hold a double standard. Not to mention the school probably won't be pleased that if someone (inconspicuously) vandalizes the Loyola article, nobody that actually works for the school can repair it (think John Seigenthaler). Please unblock us.
I've sent an e-mail to Curps with our network security admin's contact information, though I don't know the extent of information provided to Curps re: the vandal's IP, and as of yet I have received no response. IRC is not an option becuase our firewall blocks ident. From a previous ban, I know one of the machines s/he used is located in the Intro Computer Science computer lab, but every student has access to that room. If any of the IPs used by the vandal match one of a few certain ranges, the vandal can be caught -- every residential hall has its own /8 subnet, and the IPs are allocated pseudo-statically to each user, AND all computers in residence halls connect through a VPN client. I'm highly discouraged right now and would love nothing more than to bring down the hammer on this jerk. For myself, I'll keep an eye out while I'm on duty in the Intro CS lab.
P.S.: I've un-nowiki'd the unban request that way I'm still in the unban request category. Otherwise I'm afraid no admins who can use this information to rectify the problem. --DCrazy talk/contrib 10:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Still have not received a reply from Curps. Someone please help. --DCrazy talk/contrib 19:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Per our email, I am waiting on the response from your network administrator.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 21:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please follow this discussion thread- [1], and if you have anything further to add, you can post to your talk, I am watching it.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 22:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

DC Meetup notice

edit

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 00:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of WLOY (College Station)

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article WLOY (College Station), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

notability not established, lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16

edit

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.
