Pulp Fiction

No problem. I'll take a look at the article when I get the chance.-Hal Raglan 16:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

B movie

Well, that worked. Thanks again for the nomination and the support in general. Hope I was of some help on Pulp Fiction. Let me know if anything else comes up where I might assist. Best, Dan--DCGeist 10:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

M (film)

Great work so far! I was going to fly by for a copyedit, but I've got a better idea. I've got a bunch of books that cover Lang (and thus, to some degree, M) in some detail. Tell me where--what issue, what topic--you're feeling the article could most use some new juice in and I'll hit my library.—DCGeist 10:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

In re M. Sounds good. It look like I won't have the chance till Monday, but I'll be happy to sit down then and see if I can find the info you specify. In re B movie: You're undoubtedly right. I've been putting it off just cause I know it's going to be hard work boiling the main article down to a satisfactory summary. I'm pretty clear on what's most crucial early and late, but whenever you have the chance to look over the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, I'd love to hear what you think is the crucial meat that needs to stay in the main article and what's the gravy that can be reserved for the sub. Best, Dan—DCGeist 22:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've got the Lang books stacked beside the computer now. My Wikitime the last few days has been spent shepherding Mutual Broadcasting System through FAC. The last sticking point is the article's organization. I went with my usual chronological approach, with headered subsections for specific consideration of programming during each decade of the network's prime. A couple readers weighed in preferring a scheme where the discussions of the business history and the programming are seperated into different sections. If you have the time, would you mind taking a look at it and then going to Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Mutual Broadcasting System to say which system you think would be superior in this case? Obviously, I went with the approach that struck me as more informative, but I'm happy to follow the consensus, whichever way it points. Thanks much. And I am about to move in on Fritz.

Image:M poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:M poster.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 22:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi... please do not remove the replaceable fair use tag from an image. It needs to stay until an admin looks at it. If you dispute that it's replaceable, by all means add the disputed tag. Thanks! —Chowbok ☠ 04:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:ForWhatItsWorth.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ForWhatItsWorth.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages 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.

Article speedy deleted

I have put the article deleted here User:Andman8/deleted_article for you. I could not see that it even tried to qualify for notability. WP:CSD gives the rules when it can be speedy deleted in these circumstance... this one was A7 "Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject." --BozMo talk 18:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:N might help. Most of your examples are not notable I agree. If someone else puts a speedy delete tag on them and I'm the admin reviewing the tags I will probably delete them. In practice things have tightened up in the last year and brand new articles get looked at much more closely. Personally I don't like speedy delete (someone did it to a half written article I'd written on The Way the World is once and it really annoyed me. However when the people who tag put a "admin backlog" sign up I go and review them. I am busy tonight but I don't mind trying to help and establish notability one way or another some time. --BozMo talk 22:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

And I have retagged it as spam, which it remains no matter what part of Misplaced Pages is resides in. --Calton | Talk 14:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

TfD nomination of Template:World Leaders in the 2000s

Entertainers in the 2000s

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Entertainers in the 2000s, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I have developed The Maltese Falcon (1941 film) significantly. Needs a bit of editing and referencing but now looks like a good article ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 17:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes I spent way too much time editing wikipedia. I'll take a week off after that work!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 13:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Is this supposed to be sarcastic? "Wow I'm sure glad I spent my time in front of a computer screen instead of living life". If you would really like to know I am encountering some difficulties at this moment in time where it is a relief to get away from my family and try to forget my current situation. It helps me take my mind off things, so please don't attack me again. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 14:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

And don't judge that "it takes a certain type of person". You have no idea who I am and physically do not even slightly resemble a geek. OK? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 14:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey as you said lifes too short so of course I of course I'm not mad at you. Why would I be? Its just I really don't think life is as wonderful as you think! I think my editing for wikipedia has been fuelled by enthusiasm for the project. And I don't consider it a total waste of time - not only have many people expressed their gratuity for my work but I beleive the project is progressing very well as is something worthwhile. Beleive it or not I used to hate computers and it is only since I got the Internet I have become addicted! I guess maybe I should spend less time on it! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 21:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Centiare

Why do you keep posting your website to users even after your article was put up for deletion? Seems like passive behavior to me. Wikidan829 03:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe when you're out of high school, you'll realize that not all things boil down to money. Misplaced Pages is our baby, it is non-profit, and we are extremely proud of the work we do on it. I view it more as a hobby than anything. Working at it occasionally during downtime at my real job. But that doesn't distract me from the fact that you are providing links to your site in a passive, seemingly innocent fashion to draw people away from Misplaced Pages. Childish "buddy buddy" talk won't work here. Please stop. Wikidan829 16:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I concur with the above. The cute trick of slipping in the URL into the header of your message to me, for example. You'll have to do a better job of SEO if you don't want to be caught.

I'm not going to be nearly as crass as to make the centiare page again and have it nominated for deletion which starts everyone off on a negative note.

The alexa ranking. Centiare ranks number 77,737 over the last three months and was 35,000 yesterday.

Raw Google/Alexa numbers mean bupkis, especially as they are manipulable (Hell, there's an entire industry -- SEO] -- built around trying to pump up such numbers, not to mention that that's a pretty bad Alexa rating to begin with.

Most wikis on wikipedia (the ones linkable through List of Wikis are in the several hundred thousands.''

So?

WP:WEB#Criteria. Centiare has been featured on a nationwide television station . Centiare was mentioned in the washington Post .

Multiple, non-trivial media coverage is merely the minimum requirement for consideration -- and you haven't even hit the "non-trivial" threshold.

The Essjay Controversy was written extensively on though the event was negative for wikipedia. Even though centiare started with an anti-wiki sentiment in the wikipedian community that should not stop inclusion.

That's an odd combination of WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS and basic incoherence, so I have no idea what exactly I'm supposed to respond to.

After I tweak my argument here I will post it elsewhere so please nicely attack the site so I can build a better defense

In other words, you've already decided that you're going to put up an article on the thing and you're merely fishing for excuses that would allow you to do so and, so it appears so you can put more money in your own pocket. So spamming other users and using your own User Page for spamming wasn't enough for you? I'd say that unless you're cruising for a permablock that you cease the spamming/personal enrichment campaign. --Calton | Talk 00:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
