Symbiodinium

Check out the second paragraph of the introduction. This should answer your question. I need help with Wikimedia.... I am having a licensing problem with some of my images. Do you know how to fix this? Also, once I have finished editing, I would like to have it reviewed and then submit it to be a featured content. Do you know how to start this process??

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Americans Elect, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Third party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Global warming controversy

Haven't got a clue how this is supposed to work, but guess this is the method.

I wish to complain about the constant removal of cited entries that I added to the "Global Warming Controversy" article. Misplaced Pages is supposed to be neutral. The entries that I've cited are from NASA GISS's website and from Columbia University, both credible sources. I've also explained clearly what to look at within the cited sources. To remove this material and then claim that I'm reverting by re-instating it is purely political, and threatening to block me just because you have an opposing view is disgusting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdey123 (talk • contribs) 17:04, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

So what are you supposed to do, when other people keep removing entries with cited credible sources? You should be taking action against editors who are removing these, rather than threatening to block me. If I had not added cited references then I'd agree with you, but it's clear to anybody who reads my comment and reads the references that what I'm saying is true and is coming from credible sources (in this case Hansen himself). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdey123 (talk • contribs) 17:22, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Good Job!

Good job, TeaDrinker for blocking that 204. IP address. I am going to call the school right now to report it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmallCheez99 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

I need advice, please

Okay. On the Wild Kratts article, it keeps being edited to reflect the nature of Martin and Aviva's relationship with content that absolutely cannot be confirmed. It says why this information is not allowed in the article on the article's talk page, and the article was once in an edit war with a certain user over this. This user edited the article over 30 times in six months to reflect this information, and now they've come back, and have edited it 3 times today. I personally put on their talk page once about this, and so did another editor. If we revert the edit, they're only going to do it again, and thus the edit war resumes.

Here is the article's talk page: "Wild Kratts Talk Page".

Here is the article's history: "Wild Kratts Edit History".

And here is the user's contribution history: "IP's History".

Should they be blocked, or what do we do? SmallCheez (talk) 02:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

• Sorry to have put this here, and then gone back, but I found a link on my own page that I put there (WP:DE), and after looking at it, have decided it counts as DE and I'm going to report them to ANI. (I would have removed this completely, if not for the fact that someone talked to me, then removed it, while the "you have messages" template still came up but I didn't find anything, and that confused me, so I decided just to leave it here and let you decide what to do with it.) If you still have something to say about it, feel free to respond. SmallCheez (talk) 02:46, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Perhaps blocking is necessary, but it doesn't always have the desired effect for long-term problems. Let's try a fourth-level warning first, then a short block if that fails. I'll add the page to my watchlist, but let me know if you see anything amiss. --TeaDrinker (talk) 15:06, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for turning attention to it anyways; honestly, they're not the only one (just the most prominent). And to think all this is over a stupid shipping war that can't be determined either way. *sigh* It makes you sad when you think about the reality of it... SmallCheez (talk) 23:47, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I have to remind myself that Misplaced Pages is a quality resource only because we worry about getting the facts properly source, even if it is about a television show. But it is easy to get frustrated. The user came back, and I have blocked him or her for 48 hours. Hopefully that will be enough to bring the user to the article talk page. However if the edits continue after this, we may have to escalate the blocks. Thanks again, --TeaDrinker (talk) 01:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Sex/Gender

Hi! Thanks of offering me help. I have this problem, and I need assistance (or at least a commentary).

I want to edit the article on Poison, a video game character. The controversy with this character in the gaming community is whether that character is a man or a woman, so his is sex brought up prominently in the article. The issue is that "gender" is used instead of "sex" in the article, when it isn't about gender. I corrected this two times, but each time the edit was reverted (retrospectively, my edits have a redundancy of the adjective "biological"). As I'm not interested in edit wars, can you give your opinion on this particular issue? -- Zlatno Pile (talk) 09:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Addendum: the same user who removed my edits also removed the edit that puts the appropriate English word "hermaphrodite" instead of a Japanese slang word for it present in the article. -- Zlatno Pile (talk) 21:40, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Rename at Campaign for "santorum" neologism

Hello, since you recently participated in an RfC at Campaign for "santorum" neologism, I thought you might be interested in this proposal for renaming the article, or perhaps another of the rename proposals on the page. Best, B——C_ritical 22:07, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear TeaDrinker,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Craig Idso

The Guardian article does not make the statement claimed. It reports the statement as being made in "unverified" documents. This is not an adequate basis for including controversial material in the biography of a living person. Qemist (talk) 07:55, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Please Read

Hi "TEADRINKER" I have no asociation with Contours. Firstly the reason why I added the part about Contours is because Contours Jannali is a vital part of Jannali. secondly, Is wikipedia about knowledge? YES it is, Contours Jannali's owner has been in the industry for 30 years (If you did not know thats a long time!) also without people running small businesses there would be no Jannali, would there? There is 30-50 shops and what would happen if there is no local owners? They would all be closed. Once again I have no asociation with Contours so how could it be advertising.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.247.172 (talk) 06:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Two Brothers One Mind!!

Hi Teadrinker, thanks for the advice. I'm not trying to create a Two Brothers One Mind article to promote their act. Chad Orr & Jeff Orr are huge contributors to the mentalism community and have done something that no one has ever done before. Can you help restore these pages or help me create it so that it is wiki accurate? (Chadarackster (talk) 15:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC))

Listen

If you have a look at another comment on the Jannali page it says Yep, that looks like advertising. I have removed it. --TeaDrinker (talk) 17:36, 7 March 2012 (UTC) Agreed, TeaDrinker, but perhaps OK to have first line. Am pleased to see you also removed advertising from the Bonnet Bay, Oyster Bay, Kareela and Como pages. Benyoch (talk) 23:06, 7 March 2012 (UTC) I'm not sure the encyclopedic value of mentioning the town has a particular private company. The whole bit looks like advertising. --TeaDrinker (talk) 05:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC) I just reverted the addition of the first line of the sentence and link. The link is a pretty big stretch as a reference, and certainly outside the need described in external links. If you really think it should be included, I would not revert if you added it back. But my sense is that it is simply being added to advertise the company. --TeaDrinker (talk) 15:29, 9 March 2012 (UTC) Yes, right approach, Teadrinker, although Nathpmc seems to think otherwise.Benyoch (talk) 01:56, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay so Benyoch says it's alright to have the first line. So I cut out everything else and just have the first line. simple problem solved. 1: It's a fact 2: It's a vital business in Janalli area 3: Such a well known brand makes other shops noticed and gives the area a good referance. You don't live in Jannali by any chance do you?

Thank you, Now go an edit some other pages! :0 Nathpmc (talk) 04:48, 10 March 2012 (UTC)NathpmcNathpmc (talk) 04:48, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Just for some background on this: "The wrecking ball"/"Dr Karl is a con" etc is a user who has been banned from the Self Service Science Forum for abusive behaviour a number of times under various aliases. His campaign to vandalise (and more recently to delete) the Misplaced Pages article on the SSSF is a retaliation for this. Ordinary Person (talk) 08:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

PageWriter edits

Thanks very much for the edits on the new page. I have a question about this page though. I created the page because someone created a link with no page attached to it and because I have a lot of knowledge about this particular device. The problem I have is that the official name of the product is the Motorola PageWriter 2000 (followed by the PageWriter 2000x) and the original link named it just the Motorola PageWriter. Should the link and the name of the page be altered to reflect the true name of the product or is what we have now good enough?

My only other question is how do I add pictures of the product to the page and what pictures am I allowed to use? There are a lot of good pictures out there but I do not want to use things I am not supposed to use.

Your block on 71.55.202.148 for vandalism: also a block evasion issue

IP 71.55.202.148 was used on 6 March 2012 "(history)". to evade a 3 week block on 71.55.201.191 issued on 27 February 2012. The same section of List of culinary vegetables was blanked 12 times by the .191 IP "(history)". and has been blanked 3 times by the .148 IP (including on 6 March, while the .191 IP was still blocked.) I suggest a longer block on 71.55.202.148 than the 48 hours that you put in place, and maybe another block on 71.55.201.191. Thanks, Meters (talk) 20:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Kinyongia dorjeesuni and Dorjee Sun

Hi TeaDrinker,

Unfortunately anyone can call any animal a name that is intended to look like a scientific name and then post a press release about it on their website that can be picked up by obscure news blogs in foreign countries (no different than if I decided to call a chameleon I found a picture of Chamaeleo bullshiti and then posted a press release about it on my website that was picked up by some obscure news blog in Indonesia). These names, however, are not valid scientific names and the animals that they are associated with are not valid species because the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature has standards governing the naming of species that are not met in these instances. These names, designated as nomen nudum, are simply ignored by the scientific community because there is no validity to them and thus there are no primary scientific sources published that even mention them. While completely invalid, they unfortunately create a considerable amount of confusion because uninformed individuals see the name and think it is legitimate.

Unfortunately that leaves a situation where there is bogus press releases announcing a "new species" named for someone as a PR stunt by an NGO trying to encourage donations, but no published sources pointing out that the species and its name are not at this point legitimate. Perhaps to get around the issue of not publishing original research I could restructure the paragraph as follows:

In 2009 the African Rainforest Conservancy named a newly discovered species of blue spotted chameleon from the rainforests of Tanzania after Sun. The species has been called Kinyongia dorjeesuni. The validity of this species and its name, however, have been drawn into question due to the lack of a valid scientific description in a peer reviewed journal. Lacking a formal species description stating those characters that are purported to differentiate the taxon would fail to conform by Article 13 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, thus designating the species name Kinyongia dorjeesuni as a nomen nudum

I would appreciate your thoughts as it is completely unacceptable that such a bogus mockery of the scientific process is perpetuated.

Yeah, I understand the necessity of the rule in most circumstances but clearly this is an odd case (how do you provide a source to prove that no source exists). I have emails from the African Rainforest Conservancy (ARC) about the validity of Kinyongia dorjeesuni that confirm the name is a nomen nudum but obviously private emails aren't published sources. In these emails, however, the ARC President copied the scientist who discovered the species in his response to me and that scientist then replied to us both stating that "Kinyongia dorjeesuni is, at present, a nomen nudum." I'll be interested to see what the discussion on the Original Research Noticeboard comes up with, however. ChrisAndersonCham (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC).

I suppose you're right. I was hesitant since it is a decent chunk of University of New South Wales (although not many good edits seem to be coming from the range), but it may be necessary. I considered sending it over for investigation to long term abuse and let their technology office deal with it (he's undoubtedly a student or staff, so tracking him down should be easy), but it didn't really seem worth the time. As with so many of these folks, I have no idea what is the bug in his bonnet. In any event, it is done. Thanks! --TeaDrinker (talk) 00:20, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

I can handle a report if you'd like; I wouldn't consider this more than a normal {{schoolblock}}.

One way to reduce the annoyance by IPs is to create an IP talk page, like mine. Abuse response evidently happened before, and I think it can happen again.--Jasper Deng (talk) 00:26, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Disneyland Opening

Hi TeaDrinker, Just seen your changes to the opening date of Disneyland to July 18, 1955 and comments on the relevant pages. Although July 17, 1955 was only a press/invite only event, it is widely known as Disneyland's official opening day by company officials and fans, rather than July 18. Also as each of the lands were dedicated on the 17th, and therefore opened, it makes sense that it's seen as the official 'opening day'.

If we permanently protect a Template are we not obliged to Watch the Talk page?

Several days ago I made a request for an edit to be made on a permanently protected template. However, it now seems apparent that no-one watches this Talk page, so I may as well have whistled in the dark.

Can you have a look at Template talk:Infobox former country and either fix the problem, or else temporarily unlock the template so that I can edit it?

Many thanks in advance.--Mais oui! (talk) 11:25, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

It is the Infobox itself which must be edited, as it is presenting the Roanoke Colony (and probably many other English colony articles) as being a "British colony", 122 years prior to the establishment of the British state. The actual article text correctly identifies Roanoke as an English colony, so the mis-designation in the Infobox stands out like a sore thumb. --Mais oui! (talk) 04:18, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for the tip about the {{edit protected}} template! --Mais oui! (talk) 04:21, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

If you look at the html on the Roanoke Colony article there is a parameter called:

• | empire = England

So far, so good! However, if you look at the html of the protected template, it takes parameter | empire = England and translates it into "British colony", instead of "English colony". Big, big clanger. --Mais oui! (talk) 04:30, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Here is the problem html:

|United Kingdom |UK |British Empire |England| Britain=] |France |First French Empire| French Empire=] |NL |Netherlands |The Netherlands=] |Belgium=]

We need a new line, something like:

|England=]

... while removing the "England" criterion from the "British colony" code

--Mais oui! (talk) 04:32, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Now resolved. Once again, thanks for pointing me to the "Edit protected" notification. --Mais oui! (talk) 04:17, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for talking common sense about the menace of paid advocacy editing. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:25, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! --TeaDrinker (talk) 13:07, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I thought that it was self-serving, vague and spammy, but I hadn't seen your involvement and I take the point about possible notability, now restored.

On a completely different point, I notice that this page is permanently semi-protected (by another admin). I would have thought that admins should be prepared to take messages from newbies and isps, who are the most likely to run into problems. Alternatively, if you are not happy to do that, you could have a banner saying where they could get help. However, I can't quote any policy on this, so feel free to ignore this comment.

I started a thread here to get guidance. It's not aimed at you (you didn't even protect the page yourself), and I've named no names, since I just want to clarify policy. However, I thought I should let you know in case you wanted to present a different view. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:12, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Great, thanks Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:30, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Typo?

When you wrote "when a company, politician, or other large public institution is caught editing its own Facebook page", did you mean "when a company, politician, or other large public institution is caught editing its own Misplaced Pages page"? --Guy Macon (talk) 08:51, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Paid editing

I still dislike you gagging order through that MfD, but I have quietly buried the proposal. Not because of your gagging order but due to finding out additional complications making the idea an unforeseen minefield...

But back to now and the future: I find this edit more than worrying, knowing the "qualities" of Jax 0677. I guess you like to keep an eye on that one. The Banner talk 12:06, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip and discussion. Best wishes! --TeaDrinker (talk) 21:46, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
