Again, welcome! --Ronz (talk) 17:24, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Tom Hardy (designer) footnotes

I put it on the talk page of the article, but maybe it's better I write this on yours. Please read section 4 of WP:CITE (4.1 in particular) and use <ref></ref> tags and {{reflist}} to create proper footnotes. It will make navigation of article and editing of footnotes much easier by automatically linking and numbering them. Also, don't clutter text with multiple footnotes for a single statement. No statement needs more than 2 footnotes to be verified by reliable sources. Something like this:^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10} really breaks the flow of the text and draws undue attention to a particular fact. Finally, don't leave bare links in the text (like at the end of the intro), as it is a violation of WP:EL, convert them to footnotes if need be, if you don't change them to a full reference, a bot like DumZiBot will eventually convert them to something following the manual of style, but only if it's within ref tags.--Boffob (talk) 12:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, doing references is not that complicated. You simply need to write the references inside ref tags where you want to put it. Like so: Statement.<ref>Reference</ref>. You don't need to number them there, in fact, it's better not to. This will create a numbered footnote, but to have the footnotes display at the bottom, you need to put {{reflist}} in the References (Sources, whatever) section (no need to rewrite the footnote content). Here's a concrete example (just edit the page to see how it looks): all I'm citing is the guidelines. You can also read the manual of style.--Boffob (talk) 02:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

My sources

You're welcome. The article looks much better now.--Boffob (talk) 19:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

FYI: Minor edits

You're probably not even aware, but you've been tagging your edits as minor. --Ronz (talk) 02:53, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

More FYI

I've restored the discussion in Talk:Tom Hardy (designer) In general, such discussions should be kept per WP:TALK. Note also that much more latitude is given to you with your own talk page.

You should take a look at WP:COI as well. I don't think you need to disclose anything about yourself, nor do I think that you've violated WP:COI in any way that's evident. --Ronz (talk) 14:45, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Moving a page

The general instructions are located at WP:MOVE. There should be a tab at the top of the article, and if the new name is not taken already, it shouldn't require request to an admin.--Boffob (talk) 01:58, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Pop Art

I started a dialogue - on the talk page...Lets discuss there, that's the protocol. Click Here:[1] Modernist (talk) 21:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I started another discussion here: [2] please add your opinions there also for other editors to weigh in....thanks..Modernist (talk) 21:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Links

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. [3] --Ronz (talk) 16:31, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Max Bill 1989 Aus Portfolio Kinderstern.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Max Bill 1989 Aus Portfolio Kinderstern.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Industrial design and Design Portal

I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new Visual arts/Technology-related project in Wikipedia:

WikiProject Industrial design is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Industrial design (also called Product design).

• If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 900 articles on Industrial design in Wikipedia...
• At least, it's more than for Typography, and there IS a Typography WikiProject...
• And it's more than the Fashion WikiProject with 482 articles...
• There is also an Urban studies and planning project and a Video games portal so...
• Now you can also see a proposal for the Design Portal. (that portal would be for Industrial design AND Graphic design/Interior design)

Please support this initiative,
--  Alain  R 3 4 5

Hi Dezignr! I missed your March entry into our small gang... I just added your name to the list of participants on the project. As I take a look at your contribs, I understand you are mostly interested in improving existing (Industrial) Design articles. That's great! We need that a lot. I may refer you to this page for ideas. Also, you may be interested in getting fresh news by including these two lines somewhere. Thanks for your support, --AlainR345^{Techno-Wiki-Geek} 23:30, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Better source request for File:IBM PC 1981.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:IBM PC 1981.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:14, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Eduardo Paolozzi Magic Flute II 1994.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Eduardo Paolozzi Magic Flute II 1994.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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:31, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?

I vaguely recall discussing WP:COI-related issues with you years ago, but I'm not sure if I recall correctly if you disclosed your identity in those discussions. A great deal has changed over the past few years in Wikipedia's policies and guidelines concerning conflicts of interest, so you might want to review them again, especially WP:DCOI and WP:FCOI.

Any COI aside, the requirements of WP:BLP are very rigid, and some of your edits need to be rolled back or better referenced. My rule-of-thumb is that if there's no third-party source available, it probably doesn't belong in a BLP. --Ronz (talk) 15:42, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

=

Ronz - Thanks for the heads-up about policy/guideline requirements and third-party sources. I will review then assess the edits and roll back accordingly.

Dezignr (talk) 00:48, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

=

Ronz - Removed content without third party references and adjusted some references for clarity. As a result of fixing third party source problem, issue template was removed.

Dezignr (talk) 01:37, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for responding here and with the edits. I'm definitely confusing you with other editors that work on the same and similar articles. If you need to disclose your interests, especially with Tom Hardy (designer), please at minimum add {{connected contributor}} to the article talk page. --Ronz (talk) 18:02, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

=

I've retagged the article. First I'd like to get the COI concerns settled: I'm not finding any disclosure from you after a quick skim of your editing, so perhaps the COI tag is unwarranted. I expect you know by now that you don't have to disclose anything. Given your interest in Hardy and the geographical location of the ip address you sometimes use, some sort of explanation would be helpful. --Ronz (talk) 17:19, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Ronz - Firstly, my view is that postings I have made on Hardy's page meet the Wikipedia neutral point of view (NPOV) - "...fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, presenting significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic". The material is not subjective and is based on verifiable facts. Documented material and related reference sources cited can be found across numerous online websites, including Hardy's LinkedIn page and business website, as well as published articles and books. Secondly, regarding the COI concerns, the tag is unwarranted. The interest in Hardy's accomplishments is to document the chronology of a design professional who has made verifiable contributions to the field. Dezignr (talk) 11:44, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for addressing the COI concerns.

I'm going to ask for outside review to see what others think of the content in general before we go into specifics. --Ronz (talk) 16:26, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Before seeking a review, we need a discussion on the talk page. I've started one, using the first paragraph of the article body as an example of the problems in the article. --Ronz (talk) 17:19, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Ronz - I could not locate the talk page discussion you started. Please advise as to location. Meanwhile, I studied other Wikipedia pages of similar notable individuals in the design field, such as Jonathan Ive, Karim Rashid, David M. Kelley and Bill Moggridge, then reorganized the Hardy page to be what would appear to be more encyclopedic. Dezignr (talk) 21:25, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Please stop removing the improvement template. Even if you had found the discussion and responded to it, removal of the template is inappropriate. It's there to identify that there is a dispute requiring assistance.

The discussion is here: Talk:Tom_Hardy_(designer)#Resume.

(Could you link the articles you reference in the future?) Jonathan Ive is a class C article, so probably not something that will help much if at all. Karim Rashid is stub-class, and looks to be a mess. David M. Kelley is unreviewed as of yet. Bill Moggridge is stub class.

If you want to find articles as examples to follow, look through the lists linked from WP:GA. --Ronz (talk) 22:52, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Ronz - Thanks for the discussion link + guidance for benchmark articles as examples to follow. As a result of reviewing this material, I significantly revised the Hardy article for improvement in context of being more concise, neutral and encyclopedic, rather than resume-like. This revision should justify removal of the 'improvement template'. Dezignr (talk) 04:30, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I'd like to quickly get some other editors involved that can help you understand what is and is not encyclopedic. Given the lack of accessible references, I don't know what progress we can make though. Most editors are going to look at the references and decide it's not worth their time. Whatever we do, we need to get the discussion happening on the article talk page rather than here, so others can see what's been going on. I'm going to copy the last few comments from this discussion to the talk page. --Ronz (talk) 17:21, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Edit-warring against the Biographies of living persons policy

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Please note that the Biographies of living persons policy places the burden of evidence (and for gaining consensus) on the editors adding or restoring the material.

I thought our discussions had been going smoothly. I hope they can continue that way. --Ronz (talk) 16:55, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Tom Hardy (designer) - Encyclopedic Version

Ronz - It seems like the most prudent way to proceed in resolving the 'resume' editing issue of the Hardy article at this point is for me to: (1) spend time conducting further research into the referenced sources in the article, (2) study encyclopedic writing style / examples and then (3) compose an encyclopedic-style draft for review. When finished, I will not edit the article with draft text but will post it here on the Talk page for review and discussion. This approach seems reasonable given your earlier point that other editors will most likely not spend time to search out the reference sources and compose an encyclopedic version...whereas I have some time + knowledge of the design field + have access to a number of the reference source pubs and know people who have access to the others. Dezignr (talk) 18:25, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I think that could help a great deal. However, it looks more than a little odd that you're not participating in the article talk page discussions.

Concerning the sources, I wrote Talk:Tom_Hardy_(designer)#Making_the_refs_accessible_for_verification to point out some things that could be done to improve the references in general and to specifically help make the information be easily verifiable.

Let me know how I can help. I'll try to set aside some time to look for online versions of references. --Ronz (talk) 20:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
