Great Maker news

[edit]

However exciting you may have found the news, it had no place in Wikipedia, which is not a news venue. I know, you were excited, but it was still out of place. Somebody else has already yanked it out. --Orange Mike 23:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to figure out what User:Orangemike is talking about. I am not certain about the protocol for asking for clarification to his assertion. I reviewed my contributions and I cannot find the contribution to which he refers. I am assuming that he is talking about contributions to the article J. Michael Straczynski, since he is known as "The Great Maker" to Babylon 5 fans. --Dan Dassow 04:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why not ask him yourself at User talk:Orangemike. -- John Reaves 04:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My profound apologies. The gushing remarks in question were from another editor entirely! I got mixed up with your edit, which followed his. Again, I regret the error. --Orange Mike 18:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Boeing Frontiers

[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Boeing Frontiers, by Russavia (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Boeing Frontiers seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Boeing Frontiers, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Poliomyelitis

[edit]

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your kind email, it made my day! I am planning to take the polio article to WP:FAC soon. You surely know a lot about the subject, do you have any thoughts on where the article could be improved?--DO11.10 18:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I wanted to let you know that Polio has been nominated for Featured Article status. Comments (here) would be greatly appreciated!--DO11.10 02:25, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Support: The Polio article Poliomyelitis should be upgraded to a featured article. The subject matter is significant: Polio survivors constitute one of the largest disabled groups in the world with estimates of 10 to 20 million polio survivors worldwide. In 1921 Franklin D. Roosevelt became totally and permanently paralyzed from the waist down with Poliomyelitis as a probable cause. In 1938 Roosevelt helped to found the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (now known as the March of Dimes), that raised money for the rehabilitation of victims of paralytic polio, and was instrumental in funding the development of polio vaccines. The inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) developed by Jonas Salk and the oral polio vaccine (OPV) developed by Albert Sabin are landmarks in the history of vaccine development. Polio survivors were in the forefront of the disability rights movement and pushed legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and lead the Independent Living and Universal design movements.

The Polio article is well-written. It consists of a main article Poliomyelitis and seven daughter articles that go into further depth: Poliovirus, Polio vaccine, Poliomyelitis eradication, History of poliomyelitis, Post-polio syndrome, Polio Hall of Fame, and List of polio survivors. The opening two paragraphs of the main article provide an excellent summary of the subject. The body of the main article strikes the right balance between technical accuracy and readability; it is written at a college level. The article is clearly written and expertly summarizes a complex subject.

The Polio article is comprehensive and factually accurate. It covers the cause, transmission, classification, mechanism, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prevention, eradication and history citing credible sources, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association and historically significant research papers. The article accurately represents the relevant body of published knowledge while maintaining a neutral point of view. Other than vandalism, the article is stable, although the primary authors strive to keep the article up to date.

The polio article follows the style guidelines. The lead section summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the greater detail in the subsequent sections and daughter articles. The series effectively uses hierarchical headings and table of contents. It consistently uses formatted inline citations using footnotes. It appropriately uses images that illustrate the subject, with succinct captions and acceptable copyright status. It is of appropriate length, staying focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail.

As someone who has lived with the aftereffects of polio for over 52 years, I would like to thank the authors for their efforts. I have read extensively about polio over the years, both technical and general interest articles. Their Poliomyelitis article is the best written general interest article I have read on polio.

--Dan Dassow 04:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan, Thank you for the Barnstar, it means a lot, with Sister Kenny and all. Also thank you for leaving such nice comments at my RfA. I am planning to add some information to the History of Polio article soon (regarding international epidemics, and ancient history stuff based on a book I found at the library). I am also planning to add a bit about Polio in art and movies (have to be careful not make this a trivia section though). I saw your note about Rear Window but if you have any other ideas let me know...--DO11.10 (talk) 03:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, DO11.10: A section on Polio in the media (newspapers, radio, film, television and art) can avoid becoming a trivia section by looking at the different perspectives of Polio. For instance: How is polio survivors portrayed in films? How did the public’s perspective change from the time of the great epidemics through the introduction of vaccines through modern times? Has the media effectively forgotten polio in modern times? This has the potential of being a lot of work or may not be possible without original research, which is strongly discouraged by Wikipedia.
Professor Shell’s book lists 54 films with polio themes in its index. I came across quite a few more using polio site:http://www.imdb.com[2] as a search term in Google. Some of these films are documentaries. Others are biographies of people who survived polio and still others are dramatizations of how polio was seen during a certain period of time.
Something else to consider beyond polio in the media, is the evolution of counseling and emotional therapy for polio survivors throughout history.
I will have to be very careful in any contribution regarding polio, since I am emotionally invested in the subject.

Images for Archie League article

[edit]

{{helpme}} I would like to use two images for the Archie League article. These images are shown on a Federal Aviation Administrative (FAA) web page titled Photo Album - Air Traffic Control (http://www.faa.gov/about/history/photo_album/air_traffic_control/index.cfm?cid=begins). Both of these images (http://www.faa.gov/about/media/Archflg.jpg and http://www.faa.gov/about/media/Archumb.jpg) are credited to the National Archives. I would like to verify that these images are in the public domain prior prior to placing them in the Wikipedia Commons. I have not been able to find these images in the online version of the national archives. I would like advice from an admin with expertise on intellectual property rights on how best to determine the ownership and usage restrictions of these images. Sincerely, --Dan Dassow (talk) 13:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are public domain, as per [3] There is no notice and there is no owner but the national archives. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 05:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The Changeling (2008 film) vs Changeling (2008 film)

[edit]

Well, current Wikipedia policy is against the use of spoiler tags, so they would be inappropriate for the article. I'm against such tags too, but I wouldn't particularly object to your employing a workaround here: Presuming that the real-life events behind the film are notable in of themselves (after all they spawned a film), conceivably an article could be created detailing them. It wouldn't have to be much, perhaps little more than a stub, but then in the film article the Real life events section could instead be a brief, reasonably spoiler-free summary, with a link to the "main" article for those who want to know more. All the best, Steve T • C 09:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I say, it's just a suggestion; just don't be too surprised or disappointed if someone comes along in the future and merges the two. All the best, Steve T • C 14:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It all looks pretty good to me. I'd be careful of categorising them as "spoilers" on talk pages and in edit summaries; Wikipedia has a policy of publishing spoilers (a policy I agree with as it happens), and someone may feel that your changes go against this policy. I don't think they do, simply because 1) the incident is notable enough to warrant its own article, and 2) while the film is based upon real life events, there's nothing to indicate that the makers will be following these events slavishly (or even closely) in their telling of it. In fact, there are very few films based on reality which do. And so until more is known, it's far better to keep the information separate. So, yeah, that's the argument you should use if anyone challenges you, but you've done a good job on that. All the best, Steve T • C 09:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the Barnstar; it's much appreciated. Truth be told, I'd been meaning to get around to that for a while; the film is likely to be a high-profile one and, with the release approaching, the article needed to contain more than the IMDB could provide. I know you've been "looking after" the article, and I hope I didn't tread on your toes too much. All the best, Steve T • C 13:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on creating that Jason Butler Harner article; the red link over at Changeling was beginning to get on my nerves. :) Steve T • C 11:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip, Dan. And I didn't mean to disparage your work on the article by calling it undernourished. My apologies. Steve T • C 23:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is where I got November 7 from. As for the photo, I'm not well-versed in Fair Use matters, but I'll take a look at it and let you know what I find out. All the best, Steve T • C 16:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the compliment addressed to Jeff and me on Jeff's talk page.

When was polio on the main page? Vandals still coming back? If so, this is vicious because it shows they are not just after the main page but keep coming back.

Is the scary photo encouraging them? Ban IP from editing protected main page featured articles? If it's policy or custom, I'm willing to do it. Archtransit (talk) 20:24, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Straczynski's writing 92 of 110 episodes of Babylon 5

[edit]

It's funny you should have mentioned the section; I was actually thinking about that on my way into work this morning (yeah, I know, a bit sad), as I was still unsatisfied with the wording. But your edit has done the job nicely. As for JMS' writing feat (probably only matched since by Aaron Sorkin's writing of the whole of Studio 60), I almost do wish he'd done what he said after season three: he joked about getting all 22 scripts for the year, putting a huge binder on them, and slapping a cover page on reading "SEASON THREE, WRITTEN BY J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI", then dropping that on the desk of the Hugo committee saying, "Here, here's one dramatic unit." That would have been fun. Steve T • C 08:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot; glad to be back. All the best, Steve T • C 08:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for dropping that on my talk; I don't check JMSNEWS or the newsgroups these days. I've got a bunch of stuff yet to place in the Changeling article, so I'll add that to the list. Thanks again, Steve T • C 20:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 27

[edit]

Hello. I noticed that you've been putting quite a bit of effort in to the events at November 27. I also noticed that many of your additions are not globally notable or supported by linked articles. Please have a look at WP:DOY for information on what is considered appropriate for Wikicalendar articles. I'm glad to help if you have any questions. You may respond here with any questions. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 02:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mufka, thank you for pointing out WP:DOY. I will refrain from any further additions to November 27 until I review and understand WP:DOY. I have been going through the list of Pages that link to November 27 and adding what I thought was appropriate. I believe I have been careful about only adding events, births and deaths supported by linked articles. However, I was not aware of the convention that they should also be globally notable. I would appreciate one or two instances my additions that would not be considered globally notable. I will also review what I have added to determine whether or not they are globally notable. I will remove my additions that I determine not to meet that criteria.
I was considering adding the following. Would this be considered globally notable?
1978 - Mazurov relieved of duties; Chernenko elected full member; Nikolai Tikhonov and Eduard Shevardnadze elected candidate members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
--Dan Dassow (talk) 03:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you're going for in your example above. But I'll give you two examples that you had added before
The first one is considered repetitive. A change in President or Prime Minister (or Pope) is not considered notable on its own. It is usually a procedural change and they are usually only added if there has been a resignation or an assassination. The second one is just, well, I hope it speaks for itself. I usually say that a good rule of thumb is that an event should be an event that has impact no matter where the reader is from and most important, it should be something that is notable for the foreseeable future. If something wouldn't end up in a general history book, it probably doesn't belong. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 03:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mufka, thank you for the follow-up.
I reviewed your edits and have a better understanding of the policy. By the way, I did not add the reference to Kotaro Yanagi and considered deleting it myself.
Was the following removed because it was not globally notable, or because it was not supported by links?
If the latter, I found a reference to this in Millennialism#Millennialism and Nazism.
Would this have been better phrased as:
--Dan Dassow (talk) 04:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It was removed because it didn't link to a supporting article. Your second version links to the support (but I should note that the supporting section in the article isn't referenced and if I were reviewing this again I would probably tear into that article - mostly because it would pique my curiosity, but that's another kettle of fish). The question then becomes Is the event all that relevant? It is interesting but were the comments acted on? Did they just end up being empty rhetoric? Putting the question bluntly (for analytical purposes and not at all disrespectfully) Why does it matter and Why should I care? Some things are not as black and white as we'd like, as I'm sure you understand. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 04:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Polio vaccine stamp

[edit]

The basic deal with fair use is that there needs to be something about the image that cannot be conveyed with words alone - a distinctive visual appearance, a onetime historical event, etc - and not with any possible free image. In the case of the stamp, well, it just shows random doctor A and random child B, something for which there are probably thousands of free images; you could even stage it with a couple of your friends, and get a color image to boot. The mere fact of appearance on a stamp isn't significant either, what with postal admins worldwide issuing some 10,000 different designs *each* *year* (we collectors are gullible, and will buy any colored sticker that has a country name and denomination on it!). In fact, this particular stamp was from the Celebrate the Century series, a pretty transparent attempt to milk collectors (and yes, I have all of them :-) ). What would make this stamp worthwhile for the article would be something special about the stamp design itself, for instance that it shows an incorrect technique for vaccine administration, or that the model for the child is a famous living person (there is a rule against depicting living persons on US stamps), things like that.

Jeff, I watch the Boeing 787 and similar aviation articles. I tend to only contribute when I see something important is being neglected. Generally, you and others tend to update the articles frequently enough that important information is captured.

Changeling poster

Ah! Thanks for dropping those links my way; I've now added the image to the article. It's really starting to take shape now. Thanks again, Steve T • C 21:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for that. It popped up in my Google news alert a couple of days ago, as did this, which might be of some interest to you (though there's nothing really usable for the article in there). All the best, Steve T • C 07:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that's early. They're really banking on this reaping the plaudits. I hope as "obvious" Oscar-fare, it doesn't come back to bite them. Miramax, I'm looking at you. Thanks for the link, Steve T • C 19:09, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and just so we don't tread on each others' toes, I thought I'd let you know that I'm just in the middle of creating Gary D. Roach, to get rid of that pesky red link. All the best, Steve T • C 19:28, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Sorry about all those spelling mistakes you had to correct. :) Do you mind doing me a favour, if possible? According to Changeling's production notes, Eastwood was shocked at the physical similarities between Jason Butler Harner and Gordon Northcott. That strikes me as a great basis on which to include a comparison image beside his entry at the Changeling article along the lines of this one at the Valkyrie article. I don't think we have enough of a basis for a good fair-use argument, so the image of Harner would have to be released under a compatible licence. Now, to my point: I recall at the imdb messageboard for Changeling someone with more than a casual interest in Harner, forever praising him, saying he should be nominated for an Oscar, etc. I can't find any of his posts right now, but I'm sure I remember that he was connected to Harner in some kind of official capacity (maybe works for his agent or something). If so, I wonder if the user can be contacted to see if he has enough pull to get an image of Harner released under one of the above-linked licences? Preferably one in which he looks the most like Northcott (as can be seen here). If you can help, even if it's just to tell me I'm remembering wrong, it'd be appreciated. All the best, Steve T • C 17:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the work in finding those images; some of them are a lot better than that mugshot photo I linked to (in terms of appearing like Harner), and should provide a solid base to work from if/when a good secondary source notes the similarities. Steve T • C 23:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan. Are you getting to see Changeling this week? Let me know when you do; I'd be interested in knowing what you thought of it. You might also head over to my sandbox, which contains a plot summary I've written for eventual inclusion in the article. Be careful, spoilers therein! Once you've seen the film, let me know if there's anything obviously wrong or missing from the summary. I've had to leave certain beats out to comply with the 700-word limit imposed by the film style guideline, but I don't think I've left out anything major. Don't worry if it's going to be a while before you see the film; I've also e-mailed it to someone I know who saw it last night, and when it's confirmed by either of you that the details are correct, then I'll add the section to the article. All the best, Steve T • C 16:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Death of Christine Collins

Up in the Air

[edit]

Hi, Dan! Hope you are well. I noticed that you created Up in the Air (film), and another editor put it up for deletion. I would recommend userfying the film article until filming is verified to have begun. Lots of factors can interfere with production. For example, I have User:Erik/The Book of Eli to move to the mainspace if it begins filming in February as planned. You could also expand the "Film adaptation" section at Up in the Air, but I think it can look clumsy sometimes. It looks better with larger articles, such as the redirected Shantaram (film). Just wanted to give you that heads-up! —Erik (talk • contrib) 16:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Linda Thorson

[edit]

Thanks for the message Dan - I will have a look on the Internet for any citations. I get a lot of information from obituaries and interviews in old reputable newspapers and magazines. Very often there isn't any of this information currently available on-line. Thanks again for the message. VincenzoMc (talk) 19:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan, Thanks for the information. I got the extra copy from an old book (first published in 1988) called TV UNFORGETTABLES - OVER 250 LEGENDS OF THE SMALL SCREEN.
Here is the full article, typed directly from the book; some of the information might be of interest to you:
"Canadian actress Linda Thorson shot to fame as Diana Rigg's successor in 'The Avengers' at the end of the 60s, but has hardly been seen on TV since. Born Linda Robinson in Toronto, Canada, Linda took a secretarial course, before working in her father's confectionery business. Moving to Britain in 1965, she trained at RADA and left two years later with an honours diploma and a prize for the best student at voice production. Athletic, 5ft 9in-tall Linda went straight into 'The Avengers' at the age of 20, chosen from 200 actresses to play Tara King, in 1968. The character was the first of Steed's female sidekicks to enjoy a hinted-at relationship, but in her 33 episodes Linda never made the impact of her predecessors, Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg, and the tongue-in-cheek spy series ended a year later, after a run of eight years. In the last episode, it was Linda's character who accidentally pressed the lift-off button on a rocket and she soared into space with Steed and his boss, 'Mother'. In 1971, she starred with Michael Crawford and Anthony Valentine in the London West End stage hit 'No Sex Please - We're British' and later played Tatiana in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' at the Open Air Theatre, Regents Park, and Diana in 'Ring around the Moon' at the Chichester Festival Theatre and on tour. She has also acted in America and Canada, winning the Theatre World Award for her performance in 'Steaming' and the Drama Desk Award for 'Noises Off', both on Broadway. She played Marie in Berg's opera 'Wozzeck' in Toronto and Fiona in 'How the Other Half Lives' in Edmonton. Linda's films include 'Valentino', 'The Greek Tycoon', 'Sweet Liberty' and 'Olympus Force'. She has been on television in 'The Caucasian Chalk Circle', 'The Oresteia' and 'The Ladykillers' in Britain, 'A Month in the Country' - with Susannah York - the 24 part series 'Marblehead Manor' and episodes of 'Moonlighting', 'Dynasty' and 'St. Elsewhere' in America, and 'Sidestreet', 'King of Kensington' and 'The Great Detectives' in Canada. She now lives in America and has been married three times, first to Canadian TV cameraman Barry Bergthorson - taking part of his name for her own professional name - in Canada when she was 16. After the divorce, she married wealthy Texan widower Cyril Smith, whom she subsequently divorced, before marrying American TV reporter Bill Boggs. The couple separated soon after the birth of their son, Trevor.

Misspelling of "responsible"

[edit]

"Do you have an application you use to spot misspellings and other typographical errors, or are you simply an amazingly prolific copyeditor?" --- Both. Just kidding! I have my own list of frequently misspelled words, so I can search for errors in all articles one word at a time. I also use the Firefox browser when doing these corrections, and its built-in spelling checker underlines misspelled words in red (usually), so I often find other errors to fix while I am in the article. If it's a large article that seems to need thorough checking, I copy and paste it into Thunderbird (the e-mail application) for wholesale spell-checking. Happy editing!

Up in the Air

[edit]

You're entirely welcome. I was looking at the changes people were putting in from the announcement of the National Board of Review Awards winners and when I something like that, I try to clean up a bit as I was checking. Busy work sort of thing, I guess, but if we all do a little clean up as we float around, things improve more quickly. Or so they say. It was so nice to log on and get the orange bar of alarm and actually find a nice post instead of the "why did you revert all that vandalism I worked so hard to put in??" post I often find. I'm hearing very good things about Up in the Air hope good things for Jason Reitman and the new darling of the film world, Anna Kendrick, whom I did not know until Twilight last year. In any event, thanks for starting off my Wiki-day on a positive note! Wildhartlivie (talk) 16:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Runtime confirmation

[edit]

Glad you appreciated the runtime confirmation! I started doing it for every film I see in the theaters because I noticed a while back that a lot of otherwise reliable sources often list incorrect runtimes/times that conflict with other otherwise reliable sources. I figure this way, even if someone comes along and contests the info as OR, it can at least serve as a guideline for selecting from among multiple conflicting sources. If you're interested in these kinds of issues, I've found generally that the most reliable of sources for runtimes is the BBFC, which almost always matches the times I record within a few seconds, and any differences can usually be attributed to distributor logo alterations between the U.S. and UK and/or alternate edits (see: The Boat That Rocked/Pirate Radio). –Fierce Beaver (talk) 19:51, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Up in the Air

[edit]

Actually I never heard of the film until I seen a preview last night on TV and it mentioned it received a lot of awards and was "the best movie of the year". So since I'm part of the Film Project on Wikipedia, I decided to check out the article to make sure the style guidelines were OK. I was surprise to see it so detailed, well written, and well sourced with the film not widely released. It seems by looking at the history page it was this way before it was released and it appears it's mostly all you—so great work! The lead is just about perfect now IMO, and you got it done quickly at that. Yes, I see this article reaching GA or even FA status really soon. :-) Would this be your first GA/FA? --Mike Allen talk · contribs 18:23, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blush! I helped to get two other articles Poliomyelitis and Changeling (film) to FA status, although user: DO11.10 and user:Steve were the principal authors respectively. It was a pleasure to collaborate with both DO11.10 and Steve. Both are great writers, fantastic editors and administrators, and very helpful. I modeled Up in the Air (film) after Changeling (film). There is still a lot of work yet to be done on the article before it reaches the quality of a GA article. I would appreciate any suggestions you may offer regarding making the article better. --Dan Dassow (talk) 18:55, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you haven't, check the film style guidelines. Of course the plot needs to be a plot around 400-700 words. The Cast section should be a header 2 section below the plot, and probably shouldn't list EVERY character, just the major and main minor characters. There should be a header 3 "Box Office" section under Reception (that's what the guidelines say), but one under Release also looks good. That's just from a quick look. Some of this may not be possible until it's released widely. No rush. Changeling looks really good. --Mike Allen talk · contribs 19:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It may be necessary to make an Up in the Air award page, soon. :) --Mike Allen 04:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciated your note about the Dana E. Glauberman article. She'd been on my to-do list of film editor articles for a while, but the success of Up in the Air pushed me over the edge. Cheers, Easchiff (talk) 03:18, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

[edit]

Might I ask why you used rollback to revert Franamax's comment? That's not what rollback is for, and you aren't supposed to undo people's comments anyway. Please don't do this again, or you'll have your rollback privileges revoked. --Coffee // have a cup // ark // 15:40, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coffee, thank you for bring this to my attention. I was not aware that I had reverted Franamax's comment. I reviewed my contribution logs and I clearly used undo, although I am uncertain how I did this. Please accept my profound apology for this reversion, albeit totally unintentional. --Dan Dassow (talk) 19:19, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am still not certain how I caused the revert, but as a remedial action, I've set to unwatch Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship so I am less likely to cause an accidental revert on that page in the future. It is somewhat unnerving to discover that I've caused harm to Wikipedia. Again, my profound apology. --Dan Dassow (talk) 19:39, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

updates required for List of awards and nominations received by Up in the Air

[edit]

Hi Dan, it's me Andy. I just wanted to let you know that, although I created the article List of awards and nominations received by Up in the Air, I am not able to update it with new awards and nominations. I am more of a maintenance editor / rollbacker, not exactly editor. I just wanted to let you know that, if the film gets more nominations, go ahead and update it. — Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 22:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Andy, thank you for creating List of awards and nominations received by Up in the Air. I planned to update today, since both the Kansas City and Vancouver have added nominations for Up in the Air (film). --Dan Dassow (talk) 23:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changeling Citation

[edit]

Dan, this is my very first time attempting to communicate with someone on Wikipedia talk page................not sure if I know what I am doing at all. If I am stepping on any toes, please believe me it is inadvertently and I am strictly a virgin as to how to communicate on Talk Page. Dan, you left me a message on Changeling regarding a citation for the David Clay stuff that I posted. Not sure what a 'citation' means? Is it that we are trying to differentiate between my personal opinion and any factual matter out there is that the reason for the 'citation'? That would make sense to me if it was. My comments came from JMS postings on IMDB regarding 'boy who came forward'. How do I reference IMDB as a reference? I belive you have my personal email, can you email me privately and give me some tutoring lessons. My computer crashed last week, and I have lost your personal email address to ask you this stuff privately....................I agree with everything you are suggesting, I just need to have it explained to me a bit more, so I can do what you ask, since I was a bit unclear. Sorry to be such a pain. I will email you my email address on IMDB private messages for your info.

Re: Welcome & MORS

[edit]

Dan, Thanks for the note. I look forward to contributing to Wikipedia more than I've been able in the past. I recognize the quandary that Wikipedia's policy regarding conflict-of-interest poses to articles with limited stakeholders (such as the one on MORS) but in cases such as this one I think changes such as adding citations, and correcting grammar or facts (which I've done in the past), would be acceptable even if done by members of the Society. In fact, I don't know who else would have the knowledge or interest in doing so. I've avoided adding significant detail to the article over the years due to this policy, but did add the basic data back when I was Executive VP simply because I thought they needed to be there, and they were accepted.

Up in the Air (film)

[edit]

Hey, I see you're the most prolific editor to the film article. With a bit of work, I reckon it could be a GA, so I was hoping I could recruit you to help out since you obviously know the material. I'm sure we can recruit June and Courcelles to help out. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:06, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy the help out with getting Up in the Air (film) to GA. I started the article because I live in the St. Louis area and Up in the Air was primarily filmed in the St. Louis area. As a result, I’ve had to be very careful to maintain a neutral point of view. I was a major contributor to Changeling (film) so I’ve been through the GA and FA process before. The primary editor Steve is an excellent writer and editor. I've had a very heavy work load at work since the end of March, so I have not had much of a chance to work on the article. I also was not certain how I could improve the article at the time. Now that I've had some distance from the article, I see a few areas where the article can be improved: (1) Correct the date format for the citations to Wikipedia standard format. (2) Remove dead citations and citations that do not conform to Wikipedia standards. (3) Consolidate duplicate citations. (4) Expand the themes section, although this will require searching for sound analysis for themes so I can provide proper citation. (5) Copy edit the release section. (6) Expend the Box office and Home media releases. (7) Write a short paragraph for the Awards and honors section. --Dan Dassow (talk) 15:50, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! We can leave the fiddly things like date formats 'til last if you want. I think we need to hack away at the plot section, as well. I did some pruning yesterday, but I still think it should be shorter (having reviewed a fair few GAs, I know it's difficult!). It shouldn't take too much work to bring it up to a standard where we can nominate it for GA, then I should be able to call in a favour and get someone to pick up the review quickly. Btw, I'll stick you on my watchlist since my talk page is ridiculously busy! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:08, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. --Dan Dassow (talk) 16:14, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding date format, Wikipedia doesn't have a "standard" per se. More rather, that whatever style an article chooses to use, it must be internally consistent and not mix styles on the same page. Courcelles (talk) 16:35, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well since it's a Yank film, I suppose we should use MDY, but my personal preference would be for DMY. Having just refreshed my memory on the MoS, MOS:DATE#Full date formatting appears to say that it has to be one of those two formats. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:20, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I personally prefer YMD H:M:S since it can be easily sorted. However, I believe it is best to use MDY for Up in the Air (film) to be consistent with List of accolades received by Up in the Air. Regardless, internal consistency, as Courcelles pointed out, is just as important. --Dan Dassow (talk) 02:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The referencing needs a lot of work regarding publishers... but date formats changed to MDY. Courcelles (talk) 02:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Courcelles, you are simply amazing! Thank you for converting the date formats so quickly. I fully agree on referencing the publishers. I will start working at this as soon as practical. --Dan Dassow (talk) 02:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well done, Courcelles! Publishers are easy enough. Tedious, but not difficult. I started an article for the soundtrack last night. It needs a little work, but hopefully it can replace some of Up in the Air (film)#Music. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:01, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Guidance needed on uploading picture for Bob Fraser

I have permission via email from Bob Fraser to use his picture from Facebook for the Wikipedia article about him. Mr. Fraser owns the copyright for the image and only grants permission to use the image for the Wikipedia article. I would like guidance on the proper way to state the permission and restrictions when I upload the image. Also, how do I establish that I have permission? Would including Mr. Fraser's email with full headers be sufficient? --Dan Dassow (talk) 21:15, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not accept "for use on Wikipedia only". Mr. Fraser needs to license it under a compatible copyright license (the CC-BY-SA-3.0, for example), or we cannot use it. Once he does that, he needs to send an email to OTRS with a message like this. It needs to clearly state the copyright license (not "for use on Wikipedia only"), say which Wikipedia file name it is (you can upload the file first, and add {{OTRS pending}} to it as a marker that permission is forthcoming), and should be sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org (or permissions-commons@wikimedia.org if uploading the file to Wikimedia Commons). /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:33, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possible changes to the Babylon 5 article

[edit]

Hi. I’m toying with the idea of doing a (major) rewrite of the Babylon 5 article. Problem is I’m no kind of wiki editor and what I’m thinking of doing would be a radical departure from what’s currently there. I’m essentially looking for advice/suggestion (clean suggestions ; ) on whether such changes would, for want of a better term, be a good idea. I also can’t type for sh*t and know what little I’ve already put together doesn’t meet any number of wiki (or good writing for that matter) standards.

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Minsk59/sandbox

It’s rough, and incomplete, and only part of the first of a lot of additions and more than a few cutting out and re-directings to make the word count a bit more manageable in the B5 article. I was surprised to note as it stands it doesn’t have a critical review section. As I’ve heard you can put a mean page together and I know you’re a fan of the show, I decided to give you the honour of being the first person I approach with this idea. Any suggestions would be very helpful. - Minsk59 (talk) 08:36, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have generally stayed away from editing the Babylon 5 article since I am passionate about the series, and would have a hard time maintaining a neutral point of view. Also, other people have a greater command of the details of the show than I do. You will note in the list of contributors, that I have only two edits. That being said, I do not see anything inherently wrong in what you wrote for critical reaction. I did make a very minor edit to the section. Although, the reviews are generally negative in tone, unfortunately they probably accurately reflect the general critical opinion of the show when it was in its first run.
Films articles generally have critical reaction sections. However, it now comes down to whether a critical reaction section is general practice for an article on a television series. I looked at a few television series and did not see any example. I also reviewed Wikipedia:WikiProject Television and did not see any evidence that this is general practice. It would be helpful if you could provide a few examples for television series that other editors and I could reference, when considering your suggestion.
The Babylon 5 article is already tagged as being to large, although I disagree with that assessment. Are you suggesting simply adding a critical reaction section or replacing a major portion of the article?
I really appreciate that you are taking a pragmatic approach to updating the article, as opposed to making major structural changes without consulting other editors. I suggest you consider contacting major contributors to the article such as User:Steve and User:Orangemike. They may some additional guidance on how to proceed. In the mean time, I will ponder your suggestion and will provide additional feedback as appropriate. --Dan Dassow (talk) 13:07, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

With an article like B5 I wouldn’t consider making large scale changes without consulting more experienced editors.  : ) I’m using the sandbox to jot down ideas and act more as a depository for cites. Interesting you mentioned that critical review for a tv series may not be standard practise. I can (now) appreciate why that would be the case due to the multi-episode, multi-season structure of the things. There was no particular reason for starting with such a section other than I was looking through the Firefly article - which is a featured article - and noted it included one. I did a quick search of a couple of other sci-fi shows that ran to (longish) series and found they contained one as well. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Lost_(TV_series)#Critical_reception and the remake of BSG http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(2004_TV_series)#Critical_response The decision making process of what to quote from the various (newspaper) reviews for B5 is surprisingly difficult, but I tried to give a sense of what they focused on, and how they changed, over the years.

Thanks for the names of the major contributors – I’ll be contacting them once I add a bit more so they can actually see the thing. As to what I’m thinking of changing – more or less everything.  ; ) Basically moving some sections into their own articles so they can be expanded without impacting on the B5 articles size, while adding more information about things like the sets, costume, CGI etc. I’m guessing it will look quite different but if the consensus is it’s too different or otherwise . . . “wrong”, hopefully some of the information it will contain can be added to what is currently there. Basically, it’s something to do. ; ) - Minsk59 (talk) 17:57, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
