Draža Mihailović

Hello TomStar81, I am sorry to bother you, but since you had intervened in an edit war situation between another user and myself in that page, and since you are an admin, I couldn´t refrain to expose to you a situation that I found myself in.

This is a short resume of what happend:

  • 1) - User:DIREKTOR and myself edit-warred on the article.
  • 2) - You rightfully intervened and blocked us both: (Feb 18)
  • 3) - You also protected the page and left a advice that we start edit "civilly": User_talk:FkpCascais#Blocked and User_talk:DIREKTOR/Archive_8#Blocked.
  • 4) - The article was unblocked one month after you had blocked it: (March 18)
  • 5) - In the meanwile I had exposed from the beggining in detail all my edits and its reasons on the talk page whare I continued the discussion, finding complete abscence from the debate of User:DIREKTOR (his last intervention on the talk page was prior to your block of us).
  • 6) - I refrained from editing the article and patiently waited the response from Direktor, so a compromise could be reached.
  • 7) - Some other users edited the page.
  • 8) - User:DIREKTOR completely skips your advice, ignores the discussion, and reverts all other editors putting back the same version he insisted on the edit-war you have blocked him for (March 25).
  • 9) - I reverted him, and pointed him that we should reach a consensus first.
  • 11) - He also unnecessarily provokes me in a completely different article talk page:
  • 12) - He reports me, exagerates, and without me knowing, I get blocked for a week!:

I would really like to have your opinion on this. I was correct, discussed all my edits exaustedly on the talk page, refrained from editing the article, and when the other user (Direktor), after ignoring completely the discussion, makes the same revert we were edit-warring about, and I revert him pointing to the talk page, I get blocked for one week. It is hard to me to understand the situation, since it was pointed to me by the admins that I got blocked primarily for reverting the EE related articles. I think that they didn´t knew about the background of the story, and I get too quikly and too harshly punished. Am I wrong?

I am really sorry to bother you with this, and I will understand if you don´t have time to deal with this but, I would just like to have some advice for my procedure. Thank you. :) FkpCascais (talk) 04:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

"When block ends" (?) it ended long time now, how would I write to you then here?, "Banned" (for discussing on talk page?), "dishonorably discharged from the site" (?). Thank you very much for your kind words, and for your time and advice. FkpCascais (talk) 16:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

1966 Soviet submarine global circumnavigation

TomStar81: When i created 1966 Soviet submarine global circumnavigation, I posted it for consideration at TDYK on March 26th. First, on April 5th, Calmer Waters claims that my "hook" is not in the article, which is ridiculous but I went ahead and changed it. Then, starting on April 6th, Materialscientist have been repeatedly challenged me regarding the reliability and accuracy of this article. Every time I think have addressed the issues that he raised, he comes up with another objection. This is becoming increasingly tedious and irritating. I do not what to escalate this near-flameout situation, but I want this resolved. Marcd30319 (talk) 01:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, first I want to thank you for considering me. I thought about this for two days no, however, right now I feel that I first want to understand better and become a contributing coordinator.

War of the Bavarian Succession

A question regarding a tool I am working on

Good day to you. I hope all is well where you are. I am working on making a little tool to hopefully make it easier for inexperienced editors to create biographical articles. Right now I am concentrating on military people because that is what I am most familiar with but if it works out I will expand it. I was wondering if you had any comments or suggestions about this. I understand of course that this is not a perfect solution and not without its own problems but I am trying to make it as easy as possible (given the sytem limitations in place and my own limited knowledge of wikicode). Here is a link to what I have made so far Military biography creator. I am trying to figure out a way to allow the user to input data in the front end before the article is created. For example this first screen would essentially ask for the name of the article then the next would ask a series of questions like When were they born, where where they born, etc so that when they get to the article it will have some basic info already. Again, please let me know what you think positive or negative. --Kumioko (talk) 15:19, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the input, you had a lot of good ideas that I will work on. I also think I am goig to change the format to be more in line with Misplaced Pages:Article Wizard which I just found in the last couple days. I also put in a request to User:Eloquence in Wikicommons to allow the use of multiple input boxes so hopefully that will pan out eventually (not expecting that one overnigth). That will allow me to preload the questions and data for a basic article. Thats also why I limited the sections, I don't expect a new user is going to create a GA+ article out of the gate so I was just giving enough structure to maybe be a B class. I am going to try and incorporate a lot of your comments though. --Kumioko (talk) 11:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

University course: help is definitely needed.

A while back, you offered to help, and we are now at the point where we need it. If you go here, to section 7 you can see the list of articles they've edited. Some are up for GA already, but most of them could really use some help on the wikification, etc, comments, reviews, and general encouragement. There have been a few instances of them stepping on the toes of people with vested interests (ownership issues), but generally they are finding wikipedians cooperative and helpful.

GRD

1. Avoid heartburn-triggering foods. These vary from person to person, but common offenders include orange juice, chocolate, tomato sauce, spicy foods, mint, garlic, and vinegar. Fatty, greasy foods, like cheeseburgers and fries, are also heartburn instigators.

2. Stay upright for a few hours after you eat. Sitting up works with gravity to keep food and stomach acid from flowing up into your esophagus. Better yet, move about a bit to help speed digestion. "Our grandparents had it right when they headed out for a walk after a large meal," he says.

3. But abstain from exercise right after eating. Intense workouts slow digestion, making reflux more likely. Better to exercise first thing in the morning or a few hours after a meal. If you still experience heartburn symptoms after a workout, drink extra water. Staying hydrated helps improve digestion to keep symptoms at bay.

4. Eat smaller meals. To avoid heartburn, aim to eat up to six mini-meals a day, as opposed to three large ones. The worst? Eating a large meal right before bed. Try to abstain from food or drinks within an hour or two of bedtime. Even a tall glass of water before lying down can trigger symptoms in susceptible individuals.

5. Go easy on caffeine and alcohol-and avoid cigarettes. All three can relax the esophageal sphincter muscle, which normally keeps stomach acid from splashing up into the esophagus. Carbonated beverages can also cause this problem.

6. Don't eat too quickly. Try chewing slowly and putting your fork down between bites. Hot soups are a good appetizer because they take longer to consume.

7. Wear looser-fitting clothes. Tight belts, waistbands, and pantyhose constrict the stomach, sometimes triggering reflux.

8. Find ways to relax. Stress may increase stomach acids, raising the likelihood of heartburn.

9. Aim to lose a few extra pounds. The pressure of excess weight-especially around the abdomen-increases the chance that stomach acid will backwash into the esophagus.

10. Try chewing gum. This can boost the production of saliva, which neutralizes stomach acid.

11. Bend with your knees. Bending over at the waist tends to promote heartburn symptoms.

12. Elevate the head of your bed. Place blocks or bricks under your bedposts to raise the head of your bed 6 inches. Elevating your head and chest during sleep helps prevent nighttime reflux. A wedge pillow may also work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.108.241.23 (talk) 21:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Big Tray Class Land Battleship (Gundam).jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Big Tray Class Land Battleship (Gundam).jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

I'll cover the more technical details like that before the ACR; right now, the priority is to get the article to GA. For that we don't need a buttload of info, we just need to satisfy the B-class criteria. Once we clear GA though things are going to get interesting. TomStar81 (Talk) 04:24, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:DD(X) Advanced Gun System.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DD(X) Advanced Gun System.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages 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:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 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.

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 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 18:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Is the image I uploaded on commons under the same name equivalent enough? I'm sure other free images can be found as well. At the very least it fails as a fair use on Zumwalt class destroyer.Marcus Aurelius (talk) 13:55, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Question

Hey Tom, just a quick question. Seeing as though you are the lead coordinator on the Military History WikiProject, I have to ask/tell you something. Recently on the Trojan War article, the infobox was removed. Now, I'm not sure what your policies are regarding the use of the box, but the article states that it may be used for any conflict. Since this article falls under the MilitaryHistory Project of Misplaced Pages, I was wondering if you could convince the editors down there to readd the infobox. The Trojan War was a real conflict, whether or not all the facts are completely straight, and I want this article to be treated fairly. Thank you for your time sir. Reply back on my talk page please.--Valkyrie Red (talk) 00:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)


Sir, I have made too many mistakes in the past to try and do anything by myself. I would be honored if you would help me reach a new consensus in re-introducing the box. My many thanks--Valkyrie Red (talk) 01:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the full protection on StarCraft 2. Things were getting a bit dicey with 3RR and all. FYI, I was able to locate that this was stemming from a forum. Again, thanks for the intervention. I would have requested it, had I not gone to bed immediately after my edit. NativeForeigner /Contribs 16:04, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tom, I was the person who originally added the criticism section. I do think that it was valid and it would be nice to discuss a way to include it while maintaining the standards set for wikipedia. Could you please let me know what was lacking or in what way the section violated wiki rules. The criticism mentioned has been widely covered by game industry media and in one case garnered 250,000 names on a petition to encourage changes. So I do feel that it meets the notoriety requirements. But I am still fairly new to wikipedia edits so I very much appreciate any insight or direction you might give me. Thanks :) Zuchinni one (talk) 17:21, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the good advice and encouragement. I thought about what you said regarding the development section and I believe you are right, that any additions go in there. After all the product IS still in development and we don't know what the final results will be. I've been doing a lot of searching on the web for various reliable sources and I currently have 8 original sources that would probably qualify as reliable under the wikipedia guidelines. They include the original interview with the Blizzard founder and article from four different gaming websites discussing the issues. Once a final decision is reached regarding inclusion please feel free to tell me if the articles I've referenced don't meet the wiki standards Zuchinni one (talk) 21:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Tom, I really hate to bother you on this matter once again, but I am positive that a new consensus has been reached.
