Swiss municipalities

{{Navigation bar Bellinzona district}} looks good in general but I would suggest a few things. One, add a link to the de template (within <noinclude> tags), which sort of doubles as an indication of the source (you could add other interwiki if they exist, but I think it's really only important to have one). Add them to Category:Swiss district templates (with piping, preferably, unlike the ones there) in <noinclude>, and into Category:Municipalities of the canton of XXXX in <includeonly>. The latter are named Category:Municipalities of XXXX for some cantons (you can see which at Category:Municipalities of Switzerland), but those can be changed by hand or (probably better) the other templates can be changed to make them all consistent. Finally, the Municipalities of Ticino at the bottom of the box should be Municipalities of the canton of Ticino, which seems to exist (at least as a redirect) for several random cantons I checked. The only other issue is dealing with disambiguated names, such as Gudo TI. It's funny, none of the four municipalities with the canton abbreviation have articles for the other places on the corresponding de disambiguation page...but maybe they will someday. There seems to be no consistency for naming these here (i.e. XXX, Switzerland, XXX, Ticino, XXX TI all seem about equally common). I think the simplest and certainly (for now) adequate solution is to ignore them for now, or use the format you prefer (I don't have any preference), and they can be changed by hand later if someone feels strongly about it.

I responded to your comment on User talk:Docu. -- User:Docu

Hi BillC, I just wanted to point out that there is a small problem on Template:Municipalities of the district of Morges, which you converted to a dynamic navbox: most of the wikilinks have one too many "]". This is easy enough to correct (and I have just done it), but since you seem to have converted quite a few of these templates, you may want to check if it is a unique occurence or if it happened elsewhere. Cheers, Schutz 06:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. I went back through the list and was unable to find another other than Morges. There are only two more to convert, once I have standardised on the format and name for the existing template set, I will begin work on importing the results of the Perl script and creating the missing navigational boxes. I think I will place further text on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Swiss municipalities. BillC 17:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the templates are nice and I see you started adding the municipalities. I am in the process of adding info to the ones that popped up on the Missing encyclopedia articles pages I monitor, and will continue to do so. I also created Category:Swiss canton templates for the next administrative unit up; lots of work remains to be done there but there's few enough it's probably easier to do it by hand. The language bots will pick up the links soon enough, I think, so I wouldn't worry about it. I'm watching the project page now, so we can communicate there. Rigadoun 16:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Magically shifting suitability

Please explain to me how WP:RS means that the title of an article page changes the suitability of a source, and why that makes any sense at all.

What this says if that I make a tangential page, say Josephson-CSICOP controversy, I can use the data from Josephson's page, because the article title specifically refers to it, thereby a primary source is OK. But if I do the sensible thing and merge such a page into e.g. CSCICOP, then I can't use the data from Josephson's page, because the title no longer relates to Josephson. That's just silly. I don't buy it. I disagree that "topic" in WP:RS equates to "title". - Keith D. Tyler ¶ (AMA) 22:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was only asking for your rationale behind your interpretation, and proposing an IMHO rational counterargument to consider. I'm not keeping an eagle eye on when people post comments to the page, because it's too much to deal with on a daily basis. So if I take too long to ask you for more info on your opinion, I apologize, but that's all I was doing. The problem as I see it is that the policy simply does not provide clarity on this issue, and the result is a cavalcade of interpretations. IMO, when all else fails, figure out which makes the most Wikian sense. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ (AMA) 05:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Swiss location articles, and stub-tagging

I notice you've started a large number of Switzerland-geo-stubs, which currently I'm stub-sorting. Do you an estimate of how many such articles there are to create? Ideally, if you know that on a per-canton basis, even better. So far I've created stub types for the seven largest cantons (see here), but if these keep growing, the remaining cantons, and perhaps even several districts may be necessary. Alai 20:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it was by no means urgent. (In fact, the less and less often the database dumps occur, the less urgent it becomes...) That's not a horrifying number by any means, though it's probably worth creating stub templates ("upmerged" to feed back into the main Swiss category if there's not yet 60 of each) for each canton, so if you can give me some advanced warning of when the next "batch" is due, that would save some re-sorting effort (which admittedly is fairly minimal, given that they were easy to do by 'bot). On the names: I just followed the existing permanent category names, which are at Category:Aargau and Category:Canton of Berne, I assume using the "Canton of" only where it's necessary to disambiguate from the municipality of the same name. If there's any question of whether those are the appropriate names, it would be better to make any necessary changes to those first, via CFR, as it's much easier to fix the stub category names, since those are populated from the template, obviously. Alai 18:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Five more canton stub types proposed here. Similar issues arise about the category names, if you'd like to comment on that. Alai 00:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Venera images

was late at night and i misread the copyright date. mh, well, nevertheless, is still think we could use the images, since they were published by the soviet government back then, and should thereby be under public domain. --BlueMars 16:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bill. I am happy to have my reprojections of the Venera images on Wikipedia (although BlueMars should have asked permission first). I do object to the images being labeled as "public domain", which they are not. I retain copyright privilages on them. There is a discussion of the process used to create them here: http://donpmitchell.blogspot.com/

I am a little concerned that Wikipedia plays fast and loose with copyright, which could be a controversy someday. Soviet and Russian images cannot just be labled as "public domain", especially when they date from after 1973.

In addition, images from NASA's websites cannot always be assumed "public domain". As NASA points out, they do not always own the copyright on those images. That is true of many spacecraft photos on NSSDC. For example, the color picture of the Venera-13 lander on Wikipedia was taken by Sky & Telescope. The photo of the Venera-9 lander was scanned from a book by Grinspoon and Marov, etc. DonPMitchell 12:37, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removing POV word

Thanks for your note BillC ! I see what you mean, and depending on the use and source for the word, I can agree with you. However, scathing does have a slightly broader meaning, that includes “to do harm to”, which I would take as a value judgment and therefore POV. This is especially the case when there is no mention of the “scathing” rebuttal by Schwartz to Hyman’s “scathing” response - much less with that particular word - so it became even more of a POV issue by giving a slightly undue weight to one view, and lacking a certain fairness of tone by not being consistently fair. And repeating "scathing" or similiar words for each side didn't seem to make sense either..so that’s why I struck it.

One thing's for sure, they definitely scathed each other's work...but that's just my personal little pov... ;)

Crop circles

Thanks for reverting that and explaining it. That's just exactly one of the things I've been trying to communicate on the talk page. The sentence acts as if it means "all", but that isn't accurate. I've made another change, so that it can be clarified. I propose one of the following:

Although many crop circles have been of human origin, paranormal explanations have also been proposed to explain their appearance. These include their having been produced by UFOs or freak wind patterns. However, such explanations may violate Occam's Razor.

I want to keep the scientific perspective, while avoiding weasels, jibes, and pseudoscience (such as the implicit claim of negative proof).Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 03:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. I just now noticed the categories- I never paid them attention before. I got to thinking that this is one we need, especially considering some of the things I've seen on here. Pseudoskepticism is a real reaction that people can have. It isn't any more derogatory than pseudoscience.

CFD on Category:Pseudoskepticism

Hi, you closed this discussion recently as 'no consensus'. While a 13:5 majority is not unanimity, it would seem a reasonably clear consensus to me, particularly in light of the fact that there appears to have been a level of canvassing for the discussion: [2], [3], [4], [5]. You are of course free to close discussions as you see fit. However, as I implied when I raised this CFD, and in particular as stated by one commenter, the category was "antagonistic" and "subjective". Since the discussion was closed, it has been as I feared it would be: the category's promoters have been applying it to articles on subjects they do not like: Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, or Debunker, with edit summaries such as "they are sometimes accused of this". To those that care about the subject matter, the category is being viewed as an insult, and edit wars have begun, with several reversions already. I am afraid I think this was predictable. Perhaps you can give some insight into why you closed as 'no consensus', and any advice as to deal with this situation before it escalates. Regards, — BillC^talk 16:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I understand your concerns. There have been similar situation at WP:UCFD, where Wikipedians were apparently adding Category:Fascist Wikipedians to the userpages of those they disagreed with. At the time, I felt (as you seem to), that deletion would be the better course (better lack of information than misinformation), but consensus determined that repeated vandalism is not a reason to delete. And I suppose that makes sense somewhat, otherwise articles like Darth Vader would have to be deleted due to constant vandalism.

That aside, while I may count votes at first, out of curiosity, I tend to determine consensus by the text of the discussion, not how many people typed Delete. I felt in this case that there was no consensus in the discussion. One of the benefits of a "No consensus" result is that nothing precludes an immediate renomination. It's considered nice if you link to the previous discussion, however. And a benefit of "starting over" is that you can hopefully clarify the nomination.

Please also note that I said more in the closing comments than "No consensus". I noted the category's depopulation, and offered a suggestion to whomever recreates, or for that matter repopulates.

As for how to deal with issues of subjective category inclusion, simply suggest that the discussion be moved to a relevant talk page. Consensus can be determined through other means than just deleting the category. Have a discussion about the category and what would be appropriate inclusion, and what would not be appropriate inclusion. Then write a clear category introduction based on the resultant consensus. (You may even wish to be bold and write an introduction now, as a starting point.) And note that repeatedly on WP:CFD it's been determined that category inclusion by accusation is frowned upon. We don't categorise by opinion, but by verifiable reference. (Imagine the George W. Bush accusatory categories - such as war criminal - that have been on CfD, and I think you may understand : )

I hope I answered all your questions/concerns. If you feel you would like to discuss this further, please feel free : ) - Your talk page is now on my watch list : ) jc37 18:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying. I agree, the category has become depopulated – at present there are only three articles within it. However, I feel we are likely to be only at the start of things, and a new round of additions and squabbling will soon break out. One of the promoters of the category said that he could obtain reliable sources for individuals having been accused of pseudoskepticism. I dare say. I, equally, can obtain good sources where prominent psychic claimants have been called cold readers; I however think it would be a bad idea to create category:Cold reading and add the likes of John Edward, James Van Praagh, Doris Stokes to it: all hell would break loose. I acknowledge that you say "category inclusion by accusation is frowned upon", and fully agree that is ideally how it should be, but I'm afraid I don't feel much comfort from this, anticipating that it is likely to be ignored.

I think we shall have to see where this goes, but I will say I read the result of the CfD somewhat dispiritedly. Best regards, — BillC^talk 21:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:A-Void.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image 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 '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.
