New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikipedia Day NYC, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia at the Library and Lights Camera Wiki, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, for example User:ScienceApologist will present on "climate change, alternative medicine, UFOs and Transcendental Meditation" (see the November meeting's minutes).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back. And if the weather is good, we'll have a star party with the telescopes on the roof of Pupin Hall!
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Nice photo! I'm frustrated that you managed to get such a nice shot, when it was hard for me to do so. Much better color than mine, too. Good work! :-) Nightscream (talk) 05:01, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your mail. As you likely noticed HC is a bit my beat, so it's great to find someone who's also quite interested and who does really nice work. The Horseshoe photo is sublime, had to do a double take: Is it a painting, an old postcard. Wow! Just caught up with other stuff you did with Bergen Crestm Blvd East, etc: nice research, writing, format. Sure I'd like to participate. Have you got other folks in mind? Do you a have a, ah, a "vision"? I can give some tips of people I've come across occassionally or frequently who may be interested in a HC work groupDjflem (talk) 20:16, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Theor. Are you going to the Meetup? It'd be cool if I could meet with other Hudson County editors like you and DJFlem, get to know one another, etc. Nightscream (talk) 19:22, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I had nominated the article for deletion, and still think it should be. I think that it would need a tremonduos amount of research and in order to come up with good references, which it would need. Lots of statistics, actually....'first to estalish the fact. Any interpretation would border on POV. The one editor, Jim Miller voted for a save. I had suggested that he join the group, but no RSVP. Myabe he'd go for it. Wrote to Nighscream, and mentioned I wón't be in town til summer. Maybe thenDjflem (talk) 01:09, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Don't get NIghtscream. He's taken other fotos of the Boulevard which are better shots and fulfill the requirements he himself asks for. Jim Henderson has weighed in. Perhaps you could peruse the gallery WikiCommons:Boulevard East and encourage him to offer something has something to offer from his work. I've clearly offended him again! As far as the infobox I think its too bulky: a visual distraction rather addtion and can be regulated to transportation since it essentailly vehicular traffic info. Was OK but as article expands is becomes of significantly less priority. If you look at other article which fall under the NJ roads project ie New Jersey Route 495 they are essentially (in my opinion, boring) highway articles for road geeks.

Hi Theornamentalist, thanks for your interest in the Wikipedia Campus Ambassador role! We are wrapping up our Syracuse University recruitment and will need your support more for the Princeton University community. The estimated time commitment for the Campus Ambassadors is about 3-5 hours a week, but we would prefer that the Ambassadors also have convenient access to the university campus so that meet-ups (e.g. office hours) with professors and students can be arranged fairly easily. Most of the face-to-face support will take place during the weekdays, when faculty members and students are more likely to be on campus.
More details about the Campus Ambassador role can be found at http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Campus_Ambassador. Here is also a little bit more information; in a nutshell: The Campus Ambassadors are crucial components of the Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative. Volunteers in this position will be in charge of training and supporting the participating professors and students on Wikipedia-related skills, such as how to create new articles, how to add references, how to add images, etc. Campus Ambassadors will also help recruit other people on campus to contribute to Wikipedia articles, for example by setting up Wikipedia-related student groups and by organizing "Welcome to Wikipedia" social events. In general they will become known as Wikipedia experts on the university campus (in your case, on the Princeton University campus). The Wikimedia Foundation will hold a three-day training for all Campus Ambassadors in August, and will continue to stay in contact with and offer full support for the Campus Ambassadors throughout the academic semester.
If this still sounds interesting and feasible to you, please let me know, so we can talk about next steps in the application process. Feel free to email me if you prefer: alin@wikimedia.org.
Thanks. I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hello. In May you added a citation to a book from the "Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases" series published by Icon Group International to this article. Unfortunately, Icon Group International is not a reliable source - their books are computer-generated, with most of the text copied from Wikipedia (most entries have [WP] by them to indicate this, see e.g. [1]). I've only removed the reference, not the text it was referencing. I'm removing a lot of similar references as they are circular references; many other editors have also been duped by these sources. Despite giving an appearance of reliability, the name "Webster's" has been public domain since the late 19th century. Another publisher to be wary of as they reuse Wikipedia articles is Alphascript Publishing. Fences&Windows 14:50, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

The entire content of the deleted article was:
"Also known as 'chew the fat', to chew the rag means to engage in a casual friendly conversation including gossip. In old English, it also means to grumble or complain about something. Over the years it has achieved a more casual and friendly connotation. Surprisingly many other languages have similar idioms to describe the same thing. They all revolve around the act of chewing onto the same subject for long."
If you use any of this in developing your article, then do remember that you need to credit Chew the rag in the edit summary for copyright reasons, as you would do if you merged in a live article. Hope this is of help, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:24, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Any chance you could you move this back to wherever it was before? I would but I don't know where it came from. That board is to request help in setting up RFCs, and we can help with that, but the conversation should remain wherever it was originally. VernoWhitney (talk) 03:37, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:59, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Theornamentalist:
Apologies for breaking the ref tag -- I deleted the mentioned statement from the Doublecheck Your Head page because as worded it implied that there was a definite connection between Tannone's mashup project and the 2009 Capitol reissue of the 1992 Beastie Boys album "Check Your Head" (which I have a copy of!). Although it's true that the source you linked to uses the same phrasing that you do, I believe that the statement as you worded it would suggest that Capitol Records or the Beastie Boys were somehow involved w/ "Doublecheck Your Head", which is of course not true.
What is more accurate is probably something along the lines of "Tannone's inspiration for the project was the 2009 Capitol reissue of 'Check Your Head'", although even that is not really very encyclopedia-like language. Basically another word besides "accompaniment", which implies that the two albums are connected and were released together, whereas in reality one inspired the other, and were released separately.

I unfortunately have to say that the additions don't help. For example, you show from sources that they have toured internationally, but you're leaving out the fact that they're still at local clubs (and I don't think that's relevant to the album article, either; there's no indication that they are or have been touring specifically for that album, especially years after its release). I'm also wondering if you could find me a punk band that hasn't been compared to the Ramones and The Misfits; they're founders of their genres, so that statement unfortunately really means nothing. You've also overcited considerably within the article.
I'd suggest that everything just be merged down into Amy Dumas and be done with it. You've seen from sources that the whole gimmick of the band that gets them press is "the singer was a wrestler." The press generally don't even mention their music, or anyone else in the band except for that egregious interview that was probably done over the Internet where they're all talking at once. Even then, the band can't stop going on about wrestling. Conveniently enough, Fozzy is a similar case of an active pro wrestler fronting a band, and there's nowhere near the same sort of nonsense or reliance on a gimmick going on there.
That's really the crux of the problem, which is that the band is notable for a reason other than its music, and therefore can't possibly meet the standalone requirements of BAND. Compound that with the fact that the album was self-released, and it fails ALBUM right off the bat. None of it will meet GNG, either, given that, again, the notability of the band and album is ingherited from the former career of the singer. MSJapan (talk) 05:30, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, yes, please, I would appreciate any help I can get on keeping the Fire It Up (EP) article alive. I really believe it deserves to stay and I've already started adding some better references. Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrblinky (talk • contribs) 03:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
When I saw your change to Oystron, I thought "wait a minute, The Video Game Critic doesn't have an article, I checked a couple of days ago." I see you've fixed that. :) 28bytes (talk) 23:59, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Apologies for the ridiculous delay (I haven't open my user talk page for ages!). The researcher permission group was created by the Wikimedia Foundation some months ago to allow me to access the archive table with the revision log for deleted pages as part of a research study. Some background and preliminary discussion can be found here. Feel free to chime in on the talk page. ––DarTar (talk)

Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.
A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be 'Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying "WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.
This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.

There's no need to start a checkuser report because 1) Checkuser ran the check recently and didn't reveal anything, but that is because... 2) Rootsie's last edit was close to 6 months ago. Checkuser will only return a "stale" result. You may wish to add a comment here and let admins to check for behavioural evidence. OhanaUnitedTalk page 19:45, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello there! Appreciate the good work you've done with the article. Don't give up! Why haven't you nominated it for a second FAC yet? I found you a Gobi (video director) interview , which has some few additional info on the topic (e.g. for the Buffie-Piggie storyline, which was supposed to be a three part videography) : [2]. I hope you get at it back soon. Keep up and good luck. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 15:33, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
