Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 07:32, 2 November 2009

Want something to do? Your goal, if you choose to accept, is to copyedit Flag of Singapore. You have no limit on the number of tags and place them in the article as you see fit. Up to the task? If so, have at it my friends. User:Zscout370 02:02, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Need your opinion on some photographs

Hi. Can you provide you opinion on this matter? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 01:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Where did you get the "Star Spangled Banner" Photograph from?

I saw that you filmed one of two surviving copies of the original printing of the poem "The Star Spangled Banner" Is it yours personally or is it at a museum? Where was the document when you filmed it? 70.89.165.214 (talk) 06:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I found it online, I just cannot remember where I actually found it at. It was over 3 years ago, so I really need to find it again. User:Zscout370 08:11, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I think I found it, here. Another copy from the Smithsonian is at here. I might replace the image. User:Zscout370 08:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Coat of Arms of Gatineau

Hey there, I was wondering if you are willing to take a shot at creating a vector version of the Coat of Arms of Gatineau, and possible the Arms of Victoria, BC, under a fairuse rationale?? Image: Gatineau: File:Armoiries Gatineau.jpg Victoria: File:Victoria_BC_COA.png Thanks in advance. Connormah (talk) 18:09, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Considering the images will be under fair use anyways, I would suggest to try and find a better images online. There has been many times that a vector image I did for fair use somehow became public domain or some other license on another project. User:Zscout370 02:54, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, after a very long search for the Victoria Coat of Arms, I cannot find anything. Can you do vector it? It would be incredibly beneficial, I'd take a vector version any day, over a rough-edged, overscaled, blurry pic. Connormah (talk) 04:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Also, I forgot to mention that the Gatineau one is not fairuse, it is a PD image. Connormah (talk) 04:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Not sure if I have the time to draw it. Have you tried the Misplaced Pages:Graphic lab? 04:12, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I have tried, but I don't think anyone is willing there. The only one that really needs attention is the Victoria one. Void the Gatineau. Connormah (talk) 04:15, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Is there a final decision on this? Connormah (talk) 04:06, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

At this time, I will need to decline. I might take it up again later. User:Zscout370 18:22, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Alright, thanks anyways. Are there any other people that you can recommend that may be able to take this up? Connormah (talk) 22:12, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Not that I can think of the moment, but there is a Graphic lab here. User:Zscout370 22:12, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Alright, thanks! Connormah (talk) 03:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

2008 Sichuan Earthquake online hate speech controversy

Why is that I was not informed of deletion, prior, during or afterwards? Is it not WP:PROCESS to inform all parties so that each can provide their points, and move towards consensus? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 04:46, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

G10 is a speedy deletion, which requires no discussion with anyone. User:Zscout370 05:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

But how is it G10? I don't see how it is either an attack or unsourced. This is an incident that is highly notable and very big in China. It has even been mentioned by Xinhua News Agency and CCTV, China's largest mainstream media sources, not to mention a large following on the internet. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 05:40, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Right, but it has a lot of information that attacked the girl and also many of the sources in the article is dead. Also, the AFD for the article said it was a BLP nightmare. The quake and even was a year ago, we must not shame the girl any further. Do not recreate this. User:Zscout370 06:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

There was no AfD for this article. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 07:26, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

The article was not "shaming the girl"; it was a retell of the incident. Refer to http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-05/23/content_8237906.htm for notability. As for Zhang Ya, the main problem argued there was that WP:BLP1E ("cover the person, not the event"); as a result, I have rewritten it in an entirely different form to represent the incident only in 2008 Sichuan Earthquake online hate speech controversy. The AfD for Zhang Ya by no means crosses over with 2008 Sichuan Earthquake online hate speech controversy, as the arguments, prodominantly WP:BLP do not apply, as it is not a WP:BIO. The page was not "recreated", it was reworded (if you actually read the body text, it is different to that of the earlier Zhang Ya article), limited to information which was WP:V, and had its title changed to something which was more suitable, non-WP:BIO, and thus is non-inflammatory in any way. I think you have misinterpreted the earlier AfD for Zhang Ya so that it applied to this article, when it clearly doesn't. And also, rather than deleting the redirect, have you ever considered that it could always be redirected to Internet vigilantism, as done earlier? I mean; how am I supposed to rescavange the Wiki code for the former article now that the history is gone, so that I could improve what is faulty (as I have attempted before), by finding more sources, POV-fixing, etc? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 07:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Why are you not responding? I have told you that the AfD you may possibly be referring to does not apply to this article. Your argument given above therefore does not entirely explain why you have speedied it. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 05:17, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

There was an AFD of this article, at the previous name. User:Zscout370 05:41, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

at the previous name - exactly - therefore it does not apply. The previous article was a biography; this one is an article about an incident. The argument for the first AfD was that it failed WP:BLP1E. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 08:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

hi.. can you please go on #wikipedia?? thanks

help with AWB bug resolution

Hi, in this edit it appears that your edit got messed up due to an AWB bug. I'm one of the AWB developers looking at that bug. It would be helpful to us if you could tell us the exact version of AWB that you were running at the time of that edit (Help->About in AWB, the SVN number)? Thanks Rjwilmsi 14:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
