St. Joseph High School (Istanbul)

[edit]

I recently created St. Joseph High School (Istanbul) and noticed that you have contributed to its equivalent article on the Turkish Wikipedia. Should you have the time, I would greatly appreciate it if you might be able to translate some (or all, if you feel so inclined!) of the Turkish article over to the English Wikipedia. Thank you very much for any assistance you might be able to provide! --Thisisbossi 05:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry but my translation skills aren't all that well. -- Cat chi? 22:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

There are three proposals which need some comments. Please weigh in:

Two of the three are sensitive, and thuglas is taking the whole process personally. Finally, there has never been a standard for how much support is needed for the creation of a barnstar. The LGBT star went up with seven votes, and thuglas is threatening to post his star when he gets ten supportive votes. Thoughts? --evrik (talk) Barnstar]]

  • Once again, someone disagrees with my interpretation of our very loose guidelines. Now I don't mind when two users like WJBscribe and Kathryn_NicDh%C3%A0na, but they've taken the disagreement and posted negative comments over at that RFC.
So ... could you please weigh in one last time ... new barnstar or a wikiproject award Wikipedia:Barnstar_and_award_proposals/New_Proposals#The_Copyeditor.27s_Award. Thanks. --evrik (talk) 23:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kurdistan categories

[edit]

You asked what I meant by general picture n the Deletion Review . I meant, that the general question is whether (1) there is an region, comprised of parts of several nations, that can be called Kurdistan.& if there is, whether it has geographic boundaries such that one can say a village is in it or not in it. , or, (2) if there is no multi-national region to which the name Kurdistan can be applied, whether there is one which can appropriately be called by some other name, and if there is such a region, whether it has geographic boundaries such that one can say a village is in it or not in it.

The subsidiary question(3) is if there is such a region called Kurdistan, whether the name Turkish Kurdistan,can be applied to some part of it, or if there is a region called by some other name, whether there is a Turkish part of it. (if there is no region to which a name can be applied, then obvious there is no Turkish part of it), and that's what I meant by the questions hanging together.
I wanted the Turkish qy to be decided first, but that was only because the formal process was clearer for that question, but logically it should have been the general question first, & I have just amended that. .
I am not concerned with the question of whether Kurdistan is or ought to be a political category, except that if there is presently a political Kurdistan, then then it has a geographic region, which must at least be either the presently de facto or or the de jure area of that entity. and the question would be what name to call it.
There would then be the question of whether the geographic boundaries should or should not encompass a wider area, and under what name. DGG 18:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
please respond here, not on my p. so the Q and A can be together. DGG 18:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well... There are three definitions of Kurdistan.
  1. A Country. This only exists in blogs and other unreliable sources and is not similar to entities like Taiwan or Sealand. [2] (first hit on Google)
  2. A mere geo-cultural area defined as "where Kurds happen to live". Some sources restrict it to the middle east. There is no single reliable source for the borders. [3]
  3. Kurdistan is the official name of Iraqi Kurdistan, a political body in the Iraqi federal structure with well defined borders. [4] (first hit on Google). I have created Category:Iraqi Kurdistan for it.
If we decide to go with #1 we would be no near WP:V.
If we go with #2 we will run into further difficulties. Firstly we do not categorize cities by geographic regions. Secondly the area occupied by Kurdistan (according to Dictionary.com) intersects with quite a number of notable geographic regions that are not controversial (unlike Kurdistan) such as Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Middle East, Asia. None of the borders of If we do Kurdistan, we would have to do them all. There are probably others that I am not listing. -- Cat chi? 01:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to add that Kurdistan's very existence is controversial. Turkey for instance claims a Kurdistan does not exist at all. Most world atlases do not display a Kurdistan and those that do display it do not give it borders. -- Cat chi? 01:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I like the Starcraft quote on your user page. I've read it a few times now, and always thought of saying something to you about how much I like it, and I finally did today. =) --Deskana (request backup) 03:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kurdish celebration of Newroz

[edit]

I am a bit concerned about this article and I saw that you nominated it to be deleted. I think much of the data is a copy of the Norouz article, and the main part of the article is basically the problems in Turkey which I don't think justifies existence of it. This came to my attention after another user created yet another Norouz article about how they celebrate it in Mazandaran and said well, if Kurds have their own page, why can't we?! I would love to know your thoughts --Rayis 14:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I also feel the page proves to be mostly redundant. It is perhaps preferable not to have tens of articles explaining the same material. That particular article may be nominated for deletion later on. I am not very knowledgeable on the topic about the holiday itself. -- Cat chi? 14:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, it would be great if you could let your views known at Talk:Norouz#Merge_2, many thanks --Rayis 00:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I wish you would have joined the discussions. Any case, another new thing is Wikipedia:WikiProject Kurdistan --Rayis 16:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good afternoon (GMT time); would you now like to enlist a CfD nomination for each of the subcategories? I was originally attempting to, but failed :) you seem experienced, so I'll leave it up to you. Remember to link back to the above case page.

Kind regards,
Anthonycfc [TC] 18:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you feel a nomination is the best way to approach the issue (I am merely brainstorming). Since the start of the MedCab discussion, people participated in the deletion discussion of some of the subcategories but did not bother joining the discussion... Might it be better to raise the dispute resolution process a notch? -- Cat chi? 19:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Good evening; "raise the DR process a notch" - do you mean promote it's presence, or move up the chain - eg MedCom? anthonycfc [talk] 20:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if Med COM is a notch up since parties appear to be ignoring the mediation... I think promoting the medcom page any more that it has would be fruitless. I was thinking of any other process - except arbcom (I want to avoid arbcom if possible, they are already busy) -- Cat chi? 21:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
WP:RFC? The full list is at WP:DR. anthonycfc [talk] 22:05, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Possible. Care to file one for me? :) -- Cat chi? 22:09, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem. By the way, that was a very quick reply :) I take it you use watchlists? anthonycfc [talk] 22:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done; anthonycfc [talk] 22:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Why did you adjust the page? :) -- Cat chi? 23:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought the meter thing would point to a number if I changed the number... just playing - sorry if it caused any disruption —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aferwe45 (talkcontribs) 11:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Hi. You can experiment with the meter here with the following code.
{{WM
  |set=Wikimood
  |mood=??
  |link=User talk:Aferwe45
  |size=180px
  |align=right
}}
You need to input a value between -10 and 10 for mood. You need to use a leading zero as well so for a -4 mood you'd need to use -04.

Essjay controversy AFD

[edit]

An AFD on this article was only closed yesterday.... -- Kendrick7talk 00:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was renamed so there was no way for me to know... In any case a non-consensus can be challenged at any point. -- Cat chi? 00:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
No way to know? Whyyyyyyyyyy don't people look at article histories before AfDing? CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 00:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Because when I see something I feel is a "mistake" I act on it. On the same basis, I am more than willing to challenge any past consensus to correct what I feel is a "mistake". That's just how I am. -- Cat chi? 00:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Your version of events is becoming inconsistent. Either you didn't know or didn't agree with the result. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 00:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I do not understand the reason for this weird attitude of yours. Care to elaborate? -- Cat chi? 00:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Armenian terrorism

[edit]

I think there is enough material to start a category for Armenian terrorism. It starts with the 1896 Ottoman Bank Takeover, then there is the Yıldız Attempt, assassination of Talat Pasha, then diplomats and civilians murdered by ASALA and other Armenian organizations. I want to know what you think about the category. It might face heavy resistance from certain users.--Doktor Gonzo 14:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd oppose such a category. Any category with the word "terror" in it is in my view bad taste.
However on the ASALA article you can explain ASALA's activities and Turkish govs view towards ASALA and let the reader decide how they feel about them.
It is the better side of valor not to name call. ;)
-- Cat chi? 15:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I think all those events should be collected under one category or we write an article that covers all of them. I am not hardcore about the "Armenian terrorism" category, I understand if it doesn't find much support. But I don't understand your last sentence, am I being accused of name calling?--Doktor Gonzo 16:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Armed Armenian organizations would be a hundred times better than Category:Armenian terrorist organizations. ASALA is indeed an "armed" organization and I do not know of any source disputing it. -- Cat chi? 16:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Concur. Is it possible to change a category name?--Doktor Gonzo 17:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes and no. It is possible to rename a category name through WP:CfD which a bot mass retags the articles with the "new" category. It is however not possible to rename as in how articles can be renamed/moved. -- Cat chi? 17:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Pfftt, I can't bother. Someone will chew it anyway.--Doktor Gonzo 17:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason for the speedy deletion? I use such sub pages in a sandbox manner. -- Cat chi? 21:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Nothing linked to it, and it was a WP:NOT#MEMORIAL. I assumed you'd forgotten of its existance.  ALKIVAR 21:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I used it when Lilo had his accident from my userpage (to keep my userspace tidy). Now I am not using it (and probably will never use it) - I would like to have the history of that as a reminder of wiki-syntax and format issues. I will alter the text so it isn't a memorial anymore. In the future I would appreciate a discussion prior to deletion ;) -- Cat chi? 22:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
OK :)  ALKIVAR 22:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering if you could undelete it ;) -- Cat chi? 22:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

PKK and Denmark

[edit]

Hi, you deleted my edit on this post asking please not to remove sourced material. I do appreciate your point but I addressed this on the talk pages. Turkish authorities allege a link between PKK and Roj television but has been unable to substantiate that even in a thorough investigation by Belgian authorities. Furthermore Turkish domestic law is completely inapplicable - it's a Danish company, it only needs to comply with Danish, EU and international law. You can always find sources for inaccurate information. Why not remove material just because it is sourced when it is not relevant? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ifonlyalabama (talkcontribs) 01:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I am sorry, but wikipedia articles are not about the "truth" but instead weather or not they comply with Wikipedia:Attribution. Any relevant information from a reliable source is more than welcome. Weather or not Turkish domestic law has an application or weather or not this can survive a thorough investigation is completely irrelevant. -- Cat chi? 02:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Air_TV_DVD_Vol_06.png)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Air_TV_DVD_Vol_06.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — Rebelguys2 talk 05:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help me with the new category name

[edit]

Whether the Yildiz attempt or the assassinated Turkish diplomats; attacks against Turkish authorities and civilians by armed Armenian groups has been going on since late 19th century. I think I am being quite positivist when I say we should gather all these under one cat or article. Help me with it, will you? Then again, you might have gotten tired of the heat which I can understand. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doktor Gonzo (talkcontribs) 09:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Why not simply categorize them as assassination attempts? That is what they are right? Also please sign your posts with a --~~~~ -- Cat chi? 10:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Problem is not all of them are assassinations, and not all of them are "attempts", most succeded. Not all assassinations, there are also armed takeovers, such as the hostage event in the Atatürk Airport some years ago. It is a pretty deep list really. And don't start complaining on me just cause I forgot to sign one post.--Doktor Gonzo 10:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If my memory serves me right most of those incidents you listed are the acts of ASALA organization. Those can be categorized as actions by ASALA. As for others I am certain a certain group or another claimed responsibility. Hence categorizing accordingly is the prudent course of action.
I wasn't complaining, merely reminding... I assumed you were a newer wikipedian.
-- Cat chi? 16:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit]

I do not believe that the links that you have provided are appropriate for Wikipedia. References to "Armenian butt-kissing France" and comments like "From an early age, Armenians are taught to be victimized by Turks" reveal it to be nothing more than a hate site. Please remove these links instead of warning me for vandalism. -- Augustgrahl 05:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I have found four additional sources with identical content. Is this adequate citation? -- Cat chi? 06:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm looking at then now and replied to you on the afd also. My 5 days comment was just in regard to how long Afds typically might run... - Denny 06:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry. :) I misunderstood you. In any case, I would welcome any assistance -- Cat chi? 06:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I have been sorting the article. It appears there are multiple groups doing the same thing. Do you think it would be better to change the scope to include all attacks by the various Armenian groups? Or maybe 3 separate lists? -- Cat chi? 09:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
The main ASALA article only has a handful of attacks listed, so I'd guess it would be probably be easier/better to make it all-inclusive for now. all Armenian groups/attacks, then it can always fork later if that gets too big. - Denny 13:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm.. This has a lot of attacks listed, not all aimed at diplomats. Certain insignificant-looking events (such as incidents were one pesky security guard is killed) turns out to be a full fledged hostage crisis. The more I read about this stuff the more stuff that comes up. I haven't even mined half of the stuff on www.atmg.org. -- Cat chi? 14:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Yo, would you care to assist with mining of this source? [5]. Its too demanding work for a single person to do. -- Cat chi? 09:38, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I'll try this week, but I'll be a bit pressed for time from IRL stuff the next 10~ odd days. - Denny 01:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Rather than clog up ANI further, I'll comment here: if I wanted to know what Armenian/Kurdish material was up for deletion, reading down the list of your Wikispace contribs looking for XfDs would be an easy way to find it. I don't know that this is how it's done, any more than you know that it's done by email, but it would certainly work. Regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not exactly certain what is it that you are asking. Are you looking for a way to scan my contribs for AfDs/CfDs/TfDs I participated in? If so you can use Interiot's tool. -- Cat chi? 13:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
No, what I'm saying is that anyone who looks at this every so often will have a good idea of what XfDs you have commented in and that they may want to comment in those as well. It could be you who is doing the "canvassing" just by your (predictable) editing patterns. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Am I being accused of something? Please elaborate. -- Cat chi? 15:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
If I were accusing you of something, we'd be likely having this discussion over in wikispace. For now, I'm merely drawing your attention to the curious nature of your XfD contributions. Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was well aware of my nominations. You see a pattern in them? Thats nice. I tend to live a chaotic life. Why is it that you are pointing this out to me? And what exactly is the pattern? You got me confused. -- Cat chi? 15:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I am still waiting for you to explain yourself. What's up? -- Cat chi? 11:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, if you don't see any issue that's all that matters. Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah OK, is there any other way I can help you? I am a self proclaimed template guru after all :) -- Cat chi? 16:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, yes, but not with templates. You're a Commons admin, and I guess that would make you an expert on transwikying stuff to Commons. I've been trying to clean out the backlog of images needing copied, but it's a bit tedious. If Commons is down, can't upload. If Wikipedia is down, can't find images to download. If the toolserver is down, can't get Magnus's commonshelper to work (and too lazy to do it by hand). If the upload server is having a bad day - and that seems to be around half the times I try - no downloads. It feels like I must be being really dim here and that I'm missing something obvious. Is there an easier way to do things, particularly in terms of grabbing the images off Wikipedia? Thanks in advance, Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There used to be this tool: http://hdbot.velirat.de/ but it is broken right now and the programmer says he will be busy for the next 3 months with real life. Sadly commons administrators do not have any tool that is not available to regular users for such a task. So my options are the same as you. -- Cat chi? 07:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
You may want to check some of these tools: commons:Commons:Tools#Upload_media -- Cat chi? 08:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Those commons tools look like they are exactly what what I need. Thanks very much indeed. Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Glad I could be of any help. I'd like to point out one important issue though you probably already know this. When you are uploading "free images" from en.wiki to commons you are basically guaranteeing its "freeness"... So it is very important to review each and every image. People often upload non-free images to en.wiki with a free license. It would be advisable to keep a list of images you have uploaded via the tools somewhere on your userspace. -- Cat chi? 15:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Kurdistan cat

[edit]
Consensus new and old

Why are you blanket reverting me? Do you have a reason to call random cities under Kurdistan cat? If you have a reason to object my removal please state your reasons under the mediation case or else please agree with the consensus. -- Cat chi? 18:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

They're not "random cities", they're cities in Kurdistan. There was no consensus to mass-remove the category from every page. Khoikhoi 03:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There was no consensus to tag them like that in the first place. Aside from me, no one (including you) bothered to even comment on the RfC or the mediation page. If you have a rationale in reverting me, please state it on the mediation page. Also, please study the image on the right. -- Cat chi? 07:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Inclusion criteria: Armenian Armed organizations that are unofficial and non-governmental

[edit]

You wrote that because you think my additions are not in the context of the category? Well, they have guns don't they, they even pose with them. Anyway.--Doktor Gonzo 19:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am uncertain what you are referring to. My edit was simply establishing an inclusion criteria based on concerns raised on a TfD debate. -- Cat chi? 19:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I added the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation to the cat. What do you think?--Doktor Gonzo 19:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I do not know enough about them to comment. If they are armed and non-governmental they would fit the categories inclusion criteria. -- Cat chi? 19:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
They are armed for sure, the articles say they are political but I don't think that makes them governmental so I guess we can add them. It was the political thingy that got me confused, thought you added the criteria because of that. I go now, kolay gelsin.--Doktor Gonzo 19:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kurdistan mediation

[edit]

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Category:Kurdistan, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. -- Cat chi? 22:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool_Cat was asking for opinions on this on IRC. My feeling is that if only you and CC are trying to do this mediation, this needs to be referred to RfAr. - Penwhale | Blast him / Follow his steps 20:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get some communication between cool cat and myself running; thanks for your opinions - they're greatly appreciated. anthony[cfc] 20:13, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am actually looking at this, we can discuss it on IRC right now. -- Cat chi? 20:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

FYI, I have initiated a Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Category:Kurdistan. Sadly, people are ignoring MedCab to this date. -- Cat chi? 22:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

(reduce indent) no problem; I would take this case, but sadly MedCom cases cannot me mediated by a non-committee member without making a request to the chairperson. Good luck, and I'll be sure to pop in - the case has started to really interest me :) regards, — anthony[cfc] 22:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion on the matter would be greatly appreciated. -- Cat chi? 22:43, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Drop by if you need me - and don't hesitate! anthony[cfc] 22:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Video Still

[edit]

You made and uploaded the video still for the 190th/Blues and Royals friendly fire article. I need to capture a video still for another article that I'm preparing to start but don't know how to do it. How do you capture a video still into a .jpg or .gif file? Cla68 09:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

VideoLAN has the built in function to screen capture. I use and recommend that. VideoLAN is also an excellent video player and it can even play corrupt video files to a degree. -- Cat chi? 09:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. Cla68 10:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily delete

I would appreciate it if you could delete my page, User:Mac Davis/Wikistress status. I'm not ever going to use it again and just didn't want to go through the hassle of putting it up on MfD. Thanks![Mαc Δαvιs] (How's my driving?)07:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, I do not have admin access on en.wiki. I do not have the capability to comply. -- Cat chi? 10:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
