Violent non-state actor

edit

As you have done a lot of editing to VNSA now renamed to Violent non-state actor, you might like to see if you can cite sources from some of the paragraph next to which I have placed a {{Fact}} template. --PBS (talk) 11:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Maya Calendar and the European Agenda

edit

The article fails WP:CSD#A7, as it does not assert the notability of the subject. Why exactly do we care about this particular documentary? What makes it unique? Can its notability be established by reliable sources? These are all questions that popped up in my head after reading your brief article. In addition, there appears to be a clear conflict of interest in your editing, as you appear to be connected to the organization behind the documentary. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 00:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

If you could address my concerns and show me reliable sources that demonstrate the subject's notability, I'd be glad to restore the article. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 00:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
In its present state, the article failed to make an assertion of notability. It simply stated that it was a documentary focusing on Prodesis. I've found only five unique case-sensitive hits for this documentary, which leads me to believe that in any case, notability cannot be established according to Wikipedia policy.

Howdy. I have removed a number of links from articles you have worked on to your wikipedia user page. If you/your organisation/group/team is notable enough to warrant your own page in the main encyclopaedia, that would be appropriate to link to, but userpages aren't. - TB (talk) 09:56, 22 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sleaze rock

edit

Sleaze Rock re-directs because of a previous AfD vote by Wikipedia editors because it was determined to be a false genre that didn't really exist. Even your own original research in your attempts to undo the re-direct do not disprove this original consensus. A re-direct cannot be undone without going through the proper Wikipedia channels. Editors who continually try and re-establish pages that have been deemed re-direct by consensus can be blocked from editing if they do not use the proper channels for re-creates. The Real Libs-speak politely 21:49, 29 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I take it that your disambig page was unsourced. Regardless of how good a page looks or sounds, if the information contained is not verifiable, out it goes. I notice you mention that the definition of Sleaze Rock is different where you live. It's possible that this is a colloquial misunderstanding of the term 'Sleaze Rock', and as such is not notable enough to warrant a blocking redirect to serve a single community. Every page I've seen so far refers to sleaze rock as various types of hair metal or glam rock. Find a reliable source that says otherwise, talk it out on the talk page, and THEN, if you have support, change it. It's not easy to overturn an AFD consensus, however. --King ♣ Talk 14:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Aro Tolbukhin.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Aro Tolbukhin.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" 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. J Milburn (talk) 00:22, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Your note

edit

Hi Mirror, the problem with the way it is written is that the sentences don't seem to mean much — the English is odd. I wonder whether the original source is not a native English speaker, or whether something has been lost in translation. I would copy edit it if I could, but I honestly don't understand it. For example,

"One can adhere to a meaning of intrinsic value of animals in a sense that is ... behaviouristic, as a morally neutral value (like in parameter) that the animal's own species-specific behaviour seeks to satisfy ..."

What is that trying to say? SlimVirgin talk|contribs 01:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Animals want to exercise their species specific behaviour. If they can't they develop stress and in the long run trauma's. So they have an interest, they are stakeholders. If the term intrinsic value refers (according to someone) to the animal's urge of exercising its species specific behaviour, then that urge is a value. The animal 'measures' the difference between the actual situation, and the desired situation, and seeks to minimize this discrepancy (satify its needs). That is a behaviouristic, a morally neutral meaning of the term. It doesn't presuppose a moral actor, just the animal by itself...
Okay, I accept that the urge has (or is) a value. Apart from that, I am lost. What is the source for this? SlimVirgin talk|contribs 01:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
That book is a collection of papers, I believe. Which papers are you taking the material from exactly, and what are the page numbers? SlimVirgin talk|contribs 01:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'm wondering whether English isn't your first language, or whether the way the book is written is unclear. Can you tell me what it says exactly that was the basis of -- "One can adhere to a meaning of intrinsic value of animals in a sense that is ... behaviouristic, as a morally neutral value (like in parameter) that the animal's own species-specific behaviour seeks to satisfy ..."? And the exact page number. If I have a page number, I can perhaps look it up. Also, I see you've moved the material elsewhere. Really, it needs to be clarified before being added anywhere else. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 02:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Another interpretation of intrinsic value however, rather views the animal from a scientific (biological and/or ethological) perspective. In this conception, certain (non-moral) standards can be formulated concerning the animal's bodily functions and its interaction with the environment. Suffering can be defined as a discrepancy between the animal's actual condition and these standards. The animal's natural behaviour basically aims at minimalizing this discrepancy. The greater the discrepancy, and the longer the animal remains incapable of reducing it, the more it suffers. Baerends (1973) calls these standards expectancy-values. In this sense intrinsic value is a descriptive, rather than an moral term, and as such has no ethical dimension to it. It refers to preferences and needs of animals which, if satisfied, contribute to the animal's welfare, and if frustrated, leave the animal suffering. The animal's mental state constitutes a balance between satisfaction and frustration. There is nothing beyond interests, needs, satisfaction and frustration. (page 35)

Thank you for posting that. I can't see how the author can use "intrinsic value" in this way. I think perhaps the problem here is that this is quite a difficult philosophical concept, and there's a language problem in getting it into WP (I'm assuming now that English isn't your first language, as this material is Dutch). In addition, you're not familiar with Wikipedia's content policies. So we have translation problems at quite a few levels! :)
I'd be happy to help, but I'm having difficulty understanding what's being said. You can do one of two things: (a) write an article about the specific book you're taking this material from. That will allow you to be very detailed about what the author is saying, though you will have to make clear that this is the opinion of just one author; or (b) write an article about the concept of intrinsic value (animals) in general, in which case you will have to use multiple sources, give the history of the concept, say how it is used, argue for and against.
Either way, each point that you make must be sourced: author, book or paper title, date, page number if appropriate. It can't be written as your own essay. These are the content policies that you need to read: Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research, and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I've started the ball rolling by writing a lead that I hope is appropriate to the title, assuming you're writing a general article and not one about that book in particular.

Intrinsic value (animal ethics)

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Intrinsic value (animal ethics), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Animal ethics. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Prod Articles

edit

Just so you're aware, PRODs ARE a call to improve an article. Once an article is prodded, it's up to you to prove how the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, specifically WP:NOTE and WP:V. Keep in mind that an IMBD page doesn't establish notability. Find a newspaper article or something. --King Öomie 13:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I removed some of the prods on the movies and found some reason why they might be notable. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean they will be kept; someone can put them to articles for deletion, where they will at least demand more sources. (I didn't look for sources, I just went by what articles linked to them.) I suggest you read WP:MOVIE, the policy on film notability, and make sure that when you write articles you make some claim that meets something there. You might want to look at what articles refer to your article for ideas; try searching for the topic and make sure that links line up. (I found links for two of them that way). I really appreciate you doing the work to get these articles added, if they are notable, but we have to make sure that they meet the criteria for inclusion. Good luck!

Speedy deletion nomination of Bushpig (band)

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Bushpig (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Mary Jane West-Eberhard.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 04:56, 5 April 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:56, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve G. C. J. Midgley

edit

Thanks for creating G. C. J. Midgley.

A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

The article needs significant rewriting for neutrality, as it currently makes multiple claims of the subject's immense importance that doesn't appear to be substantiated by any of the provided sources. Additionally, I tried looking up the subject's most notable papers on Google Scholar and it's not clear to me that the subject is sufficiently cited to meet WP:NACADEMIC. I would suggest that you provide more coverage of the subject, or evidence of the lasting impact of their research, in order to satisfy notability guidelines and protect the article from deletion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Speedy deletion nomination of Frank Weltner

edit

Hello Mirrormundo,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Frank Weltner for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Out Of The Loop (documenrary film) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Out Of The Loop (documenrary film), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your map of Maya populations of Chiapas File:Chiapas-Maya.gif,

edit

Thanks for your excellent image File:Chiapas-Maya.gif. I noticed that it includes Zoque. The Mixe–Zoque languages are now not considered in the Mayan languages. I'm not volunteering to alter your map, but I might make a note of this on the Maya peoples article Permacultura (talk) 04:53, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:56, 29 January 2024 (UTC).
