Discussion about deleting category of Inspirational Fiction
|
---|
I have trouble with articles that are too essay like, but i think you are covering a lot of important points here. i will take a look at it again, in time. im not up to thoroughly reviewing it now, but thanks for the notice. I wonder if michael murphy's "golf in the kingdom" would fit here, as we have the section "visionary fiction". Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:26, 26 March 2010 (UTC) Oh, you also had a question about removing comments. my understanding is that talk page content, unless absolutely unrelated to the article in question (and thus removed), can be edited by the ORIGINAL writer by using
The result of the discussion was: delete. Considering this discussion in light of the top-level guideline concerning categories and categorization, which contains guidance to avoid categories "based on incidental or subjective features", the arguments for deletion have a better grounding in codified consensus. That there seems to be no objective definition, which can be applied consistently and systematically across different articles, for what constitutes "inspirational fiction" was noted/acknowledged on several occasions, both by those who support the category's deletion and those who oppose it. Although allowing editors to place articles about books into this category based on their personal opinions (i.e., based on whether they feel the work is inspirational or intended to be inspirational) is certainly a tolerant and conflict-free approach, it does conflict with one of Wikipedia's core principles—namely, that "Wikipedia does not publish original research or original thought" (at least not in content pages, such as articles and the categories in which they are placed) and decisions concerning content should reflect information available in published reliable sources. On a personal note, I would like to suggest exploring the possibility of including the information in the article Inspirational fiction itself. If a reliable source (see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources) identifies a particular book as an example of "inspirational fiction", then the fact of that evaluation could be noted in the article—though it should probably be presented as the opinion/evaluation of the source or its author, rather than as a simple fact (for details, see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#A simple formulation: "Assert facts, including facts about opinions—but do not assert the opinions themselves."). -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC) I see this as a positive comment. any sourced material you or anyone can find about the way the world defines this subject can be added to the article on the subject. the decision this person made is their summary of the points raised in the debate, supplemented by their understanding of WP guidelines. i think they are correct: categories have to be extremely objective as well as NPOV, while articles can have lots of subjective material, as long as its sourced and is stated to be subjective. i know that objective fades into subjective, anything less concrete than mathematics has its debates. but this is it. thats the debate. no other business was conducted, say a conference of admins or something. its all here. i will check out the article periodically. i think any new book categories are going to be a huge uphill battle.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:41, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Seymour Simckes.jpg[edit]![]() A tag has been placed on File:Seymour Simckes.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding
![]() Thanks for uploading File:Seymour Simckes.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. Please note: We have already received an email which may result in this image being verifiably released under a free license. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
1 - I originally uploaded it until fair use onto wikipedia (English) 2 - I was able to track down the subject and copy holder, Seymour Simckes 3 - At that point, I uploaded it from wikipedia to wikimedia-commons, with a note that OTRS permission was on the way 4 - Then, I gave Seymour Simckes the exact wording of the email to send to permissions-wikimedia, including the correct license. 5 - Seymour Simckes did send that email, and sent me a copy. My hope is that all of this effort will prove successful, and the OTRS people will change the image to show that it is OTRS verified and approved! I hope that happens soon! Many thanks - NearTheZoo (talk) 21:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for joining wikipedia

thanks for joining Wikipedia[edit]Hi, NearTheZoo. I just read your reply on my talk page. You're welcome. Wow, contacting the Army Chaplain Museum director -- you are clearly a "do-er" -- way to go! When I put my "new message" note on your talk page earlier, I read some of the discussions between you and other editors. It reminded me of some of the discussions I had, in 2009, when I was a "newbie". The other editors' comments to you (at least the ones that I happened to read) seemed very cordial, which should apply to all such exchanges on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, every human being has a different personality, temperament, etc. If you receive any unfriendly comments, please try not to let them discourage you. Sometimes, the editor doesn't mean it personally, but instead perhaps has a "different" writing/commenting style that comes off as brusque, etc. Even if an editor does seem to be using intentionally confrontational words, I hope you will try to avoid responding in kind. Sometimes, it is better to not respond at all. As you know, we can't change other people. The important thing is that Wikipedia needs all the editors it can get. Thank you for joining this wonderful world of Wikipedia. I'm glad I joined. Eagle4000 (talk) 02:14, 19 May 2011 (UTC) |

Religious symbolism in the United States military
|
---|
Religious symbolism in the United States military[edit]I can see how much effort you have put in to this article. I would like to explain why I believe the extra flag is unnecessary. I spend most of my time on Wikipedia with images. It is one of the reasons I have also spent quite a bit of time with this article. I understand that you are trying to show the various changes to the symbols used, however, it is very clear to anyone who looks at this article that the insignia of the Jewish Chaplains was modified to include the use of Hebrew in 1980. There are many images showing this change. When looking at the flags of the four faith groups, along with the two additional images, the use of the old style Jewish flag throws of the symmetry. The last image in the gallery contains the old style flag, and I think, makes for a pleasing display. The extra image, in my opinion only, is superfluous. If you really want to leave that image in the gallery, I will make one that matches the others for continuity, but I do think it looks better without it. Let me know what you think, and I will go along with your choice. And I do like the article and found it very interesting.SGT141 (talk) 20:56, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Chaplain of the US Senate[edit]Good Job on the article. I think it looks a lot better. I guess the question we need to ask now is do we want to get it to FL status or FA? FL is a bit easier and as its a list would IMO be appropriate. I think its close to GA now on the FA scale but its also fairly close to FL. --Kumioko (talk) 19:16, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Artworks commemorating African-Americans in Washington, D.C.[edit]hi, love the work on the article. however a note of caution. for pictures of sculptures by living artists, you may have to use "fair use" such as here [1] rather than government Public domain here [2]; [3]. i.e. if the artist was not an employee of federal government then they retain copyright of statue including photos of statue. see Korean_War_Veterans_Memorial#United_States_postage_stamp_court_case. i expect a copyright images nazi will be along shortly to delete "non free" images from a gallery. see Wikipedia:Non-free#Non-free_image_use_in_galleries_or_tables. however, and article on the sculptures should be in order.

Good afternoon, where is the conversation for this proposed deletion? Second, apologies that it took this person so long to respond he was driving across the United States and could not respond properly on a hand-held and does not take laptops and i-pads on the road as a rule. It would seem rather strange to put up for routing to another Joshua Goldberg on the top of this article then to nominate it for deletion -it is as if you took a hit out on an article to be executed by yourself. if you did not have it in the crosshairs already this might be a surprise. Anyway the problem with the double attribution of Jonah Goldberg's elegies to his brother were posted by another more conservative contributor than I. However being that his family is who they are and were and his role in politics and information and opinion dissemination would prove a counter-weight to this nomination. i will put in other sources.Masterknighted (talk) 16:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Shalom Aleichem. Please do not make edits like you did at the article, claiming Samaritans are not Jews, unless you know your subject well. Here[4] is all the reference you need for this detail. If you revert this edit again in a religiously biased way you will be in danger of possibly violating 3RR. Thank you. Djathinkimacowboy 23:35, 11 December 2011 (UTC) Kipa II[edit]Frankly I think you and too many others are missing the point, which is simple: scholarly consensus in the real world is that Samaritans are Jews. Pure and simple. Wikipedia articles, I have noted, do not wish to reflect that. It is baffling to me. Checking on the article about Samaritans, I saw the same ignorant approach that they are "related" to the Jewish faith. That is a patent insult to the intelligence as well as to the Samaritans. I am not Samaritan, I simply think they deserve to be called what they are like everyone does. Djathinkimacowboy 04:23, 12 December 2011 (UTC) |

Capitalization[edit]My, what a remarkable talk page! I regret my coding skill is so basic. If you take a gander at my contributions, you can see I an eccentric person who is unnaturally concerned with capitalization. The word marine is not capitalized as there is no real reason to capitalize it. It took me years to unlearn military usage. (Heck the US Air Force capitalizes Air Force when it refers to the USAF, but not when it applies to lesser air forces.) All that being said, let me run off to the MoS to find the cite you asked for.

DYK for Sabre Dance[edit]Hi, I looked at the article and put my comments on the DYK talk page. I don't understand what you meant by the article being created on 5 October 2012 – it's still September now! :) When you see an article that was created a while ago, it means that the nominator is nominating it for a 5x expansion. In that case, you should not look at the byte counts in the history, but at the character count of the prose sections of the article. This character count does not include lists, block quotes, headers, images and captions, the "See also" section if any, the references section, Table of Contents, edit buttons and all superscript like [6] and [citation needed] tags. I copy and paste the prose into this tool, delete all the superscript, and then I get the character count. Best, Yoninah (talk) 20:56, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Evangelicals vs Evangelical Protestants[edit]Hi NearTheZoo, on my talk page, you address Elizium23, saying "I'm glad I went to your talk page..." I think you're confusing him with me. Anyway, I replied to you on my talk page, since you went back to it. My position is that both "Evangelical" and "Evangelical Protestant" are acceptable, but that "Evangelical Christian" is completely unacceptable. Before I said it's a way of snubbing Catholics and Orthodox, but maybe it's a way of snubbing mainline Protestants. Who knows. I don't recall seeing it used anywhere, in any case. – Herzen (talk) 04:52, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve.
