Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Santa Maria de Ovila/archive2

You may want to start on replies at the above linked nomination; 3 editors have given a review Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

I will catch a night's sleep first then pick up exactly as you suggest. Binksternet (talk) 04:16, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Revert on Mu (lost continent)

Uh, why did you revert my edit on the Mu article? hAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED sTAR fORCE 2? --82.4.229.82 (talk) 14:55, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

My tolerance level for trivia is very low. Binksternet (talk) 15:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Niihau Incident

I can't remember the book or author, but I saw a book at Books a Million that had a painting of two Seagulls shooting at a smoking Zero, which a description that described the guy and the incident. ProudIrishAspie (talk) 21:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

That would be a very interesting addition to the article if the book can be found. I wonder who was the artist? Binksternet (talk) 21:24, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

re Bedminster, New Jersey

Your recent edit to Bedminster, New Jersey questioned a source as unreliable, but removed all of the content associated with it. A rather effortless search of Google News found a few dozen sources to support the claim and should have been used in lieu of wiping out the material from the article. Please be careful in the future to either tag as requiring sources or find a better source rather than removing content that was verifiable with extremely minimal effort. Alansohn (talk) 20:33, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

I understand your point and I practice it when appropriate. I spent quite some time today taking down links to mysendoff.com because it is not a reliable source. A few minutes after my Bedminster edit I did exactly what you recommend here at the Victorian era article; I removed the unreliable source and placed a "citation needed" template. However, at Bedminster, I removed the whole bit because I thought it was unneeded information about a future proposal, one that may not happen. It did not look particularly valuable to me. Binksternet (talk) 20:53, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

NRHP in California

As you can see from the King City High School Auditorium article, I've been writing articles on California NRHP articles that strike my fancy now that the NRHP nomination documents for all of CA are scanned and uploaded to the NPS Focus site. Thanks for going out and finding those images, and I'll see if I can write a few more articles to account for the images that don't yet have articles. Acroterion (talk) 16:02, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks to you for writing the KCHS Auditorium article. I'm a WPA architecture fan and I had heard of the fine relief work by Jo Mora so when the missus and me were driving on US 101 past King City in February 2009 we stopped and I shot about 20 photos. I did not think to put together an article about it! Good work on your part. Binksternet (talk) 16:10, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Gray Brechin's Living New Deal project has another photo taken from inside the foyer showing an aluminum bas-relief sculpture; I think the photo is in public domain. You can see it here. They also have my stitched-together photo of the building entrance. Binksternet (talk) 16:20, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

My method has been to look through the redlinked-but-illustrated NRHP items and see what looks interesting, and your picture caught my eye. It's been very hard to write properly-sourced material about California properties since the documentation's been lacking, but now that it's online for the past month or so it's gotten way easier and there are still so many redlinked WPA topics to work with. I saw the Living New Deal page when I was looking around for more sources; I'll have to spend more time there. Acroterion (talk) 16:33, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Ah! I see that the list National Register of Historic Places listings in Monterey County, California, includes one article I wrote: Milpitas Ranchouse. I should make another drive to the area with the aim of writing about another historic site—one of the redlinks. Mrs. Binksternet quite likes that area so it's not hard to suggest a weekend out. Perhaps the Robinson Jeffers House requires a visit... Binksternet (talk) 17:22, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Milonguero

On 12 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Milonguero, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that milonguero-style tango is danced with a close embrace? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Milonguero.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

DYK for Out of left field

On 16 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Out of left field, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the first known use of the phrase out of left field in its idiomatic sense was by the American music industry?

Hi there

You seem to know what you're doing. Do you have any tips on how to get more involved? I'm still learning the basics of navigating the community.Jasonnewyork (talk) 05:44, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Two quick tips: Keep coming to Misplaced Pages to add and delete things, trimming and expanding articles as you see fit. For a sanity break, work on articles that are not about contentious topics. Binksternet (talk) 12:00, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! And I can't thank you enough for adding sanity to that talk page.Jasonnewyork (talk) 14:54, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Also, is there any way to organize your friends on here? I've run across a lot of great people, and I'd love to stay connected to them.Jasonnewyork (talk) 15:27, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I know of no particularly effective way for one editor to organize his friends in a set, to communicate to them as a group, unless they all join one WikiProject such as Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Biography. However, anyone else can join a WikiProject. Otherwise, you can keep half an eye on the conversations of other editors if you add their talk pages to your WP:Watchlist. Binksternet (talk) 17:07, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

That page we were working on has gotten ridiculous. They've started in again on the "it's original research" argument. I didn't expect this on Misplaced Pages. On some partisan blog, yes, but on here? It's just nonsensical. I don't think I have the stomach for it. There's a pervasive petulance to it all.Jasonnewyork (talk) 23:37, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Wise words. Thank you.Jasonnewyork (talk) 17:10, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Was editing a random, non-political page (got there through the philosophy project I joined) and saw your name up above my edits afterwards. Not stalking you, was totally random, thought it was funny.Jasonnewyork (talk) 21:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not worried about you stalking me. Cheers! Binksternet (talk) 00:11, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I can't help it. I have to share this. I laughed myself silly reading the debates on this page. Seriously, I gave myself the hiccups I was laughing so hard. I hope it's OK to share this with you. Go through the edit history (comments) and the talk page. The seriousness involved in these debates had me crying and wheezing I was laughing so hard. Hope you get it.Jasonnewyork (talk) 05:39, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Usage of en dashes and em dashes

I see that you have acquired a lot of accolades from Misplaced Pages. Nonetheless, you are mistaken about the usages of en dashes and em dashes.

Em dashes—typographic marks that occupy the width of the character M in traditional typefaces—are used for emphasis or interruption. And so, em dashes are the correct typographic marks in this sentence: "Lhasa recorded a third album—Lhasa—but she was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 around the time it was released."

En dashes—typographic marks that occupy the width of the character N in traditional typefaces—have numerous uses, the most common of which is to connect two items, usually a range of numbers or dates. They are never used for emphasis or interruption within a sentence.

In the Lhasa de Sela entry, em dashes are being used to interrupt the sentence only to specify the title of her third album, which, although grammatically and typographically correct, is an almost excessive usage. Commas are the more appropriate punctuation in this instance, and so, I have made that change to the article. It now reads: "Lhasa recorded a third album, titled Lhasa, but she was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 around the time it was released."

Now that I re-read it, this sentence could use further revision. I will continue to revise it, and the rest of the entry, in the interest of improving the article. 75.27.41.134 (talk) 17:00, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm okay with commas. Two different types of dashes are allowed for sentence interruption, per WP:DASH, Misplaced Pages's in-house manual of style. The two kinds are spaced en dashes or unspaced em dashes. Binksternet (talk) 17:07, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages's house style is a jumble of styles. Following the standard in North America—both Canada and the U.S.A.—em dashes would be used in this instance. Commas make more sense in this particular sentence, though, so the question is no longer relevant. But I will leave you with a rhetorical question: If Misplaced Pages's in-house manual of style allows for what was there (spaced en dashes) or what I put there (unspaced em dashes), what purpose did it really serve for you to revert my edits? 75.27.41.134 (talk) 17:20, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

My thought was this: If both kinds are allowed then why change from one to the other? Generally, the style established in an article at the outset is the style that stays, including things such as style of citations, variation of English spelling (British, Oxford, American), style of date format (day first, month first) and so on. In reverting you I was retaining the initial style. Binksternet (talk) 17:39, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikibullying

I consider your comment and offensive graphic to be wikibullying. Your edits on my talk page are unwelcome and unwanted. MiamiManny (talk) 18:46, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Really? I consider your support of hypocrisy to be unacceptable: you added Elizabeth Warren to the List of Native American women of the United States apparently without even reading the cited source. It says Warren cannot be a Native American as she is not endorsed by any Native American nation. Your reversion of Uyvsdi to restore IP 209's hypocrisy was classic knee-jerk battleground-style editing. There's the bully. Binksternet (talk) 18:55, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

USS Missouri (BB-63) and Cher

Per your request, I have started a discussion on the talk page centered on this issue. I am leaving this message here to inform you that I have listed the reasons why I feel the mention should be moved/removed, and in the interest of disclosure to inform you that I have notified WP:OMT, WP:SHIPS, and WP:MILHIST of the discussion so as to include any interest party in the discussion. With a little diplomacy, and hopefully some outside input, we should be able to determine what the best of course of action for the article is.

On a related note, if I left out any interested parties in the above mentioned groups then please do feel free to inform them of the discussion. I have no issue with editor/project notifications on this matter, all I ask that I be informed of you decide to notify so that I can keep track of which projects/editors will be commenting on the matter. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:01, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll respond at the talk page. Binksternet (talk) 01:53, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Diplomacy
		For suggesting the discussion that ultimately led to a change in consensus for the article USS Missouri (BB-63) without a prolong edit war or an overly large amount of Wikidrama between opposing camps I hereby present you with the Diplomacy Barnstar. Congrats. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:58, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, that's very considerate. Best! Binksternet (talk) 08:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome. If there is one thing I have learned low these twenty-something years I've been on the planet its this: you need to be able to lose graciously, and to acknowledge others who through their words or actions have bested you. Accordingly, this was the least I could do for you under the circumstances. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Elizabeth Warren

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

For the hypocritical swipe you took at Warren at List of Native American women of the United States. Binksternet (talk) 17:33, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

You posted the above for me.

Here is my single edit to the article Elizabeth WarrenList of Native American women of the United States: .

Here is my single edit to the Talk Talk:Elizabeth WarrenTalk:List of Native American women of the United States: .

It seems obvious you have no idea what "hypocritical" and/or "swipe" mean. 207.255.10.164 (talk) 20:35, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

A new low in reading comprehension. The link is clearly shown, pointing to a different article where you added something for which the supplied cite disproved the supposed fact. Thanks for coming to visit me, though. Have a fine weekend. Binksternet (talk) 01:39, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

My diff links have always plainly pointed to the correct article. My provided reference plainly supports the fact, to wit:

• The Harvard Crimson, October 22, 1996, "Of 71 current Law School professors and assistant professors, 11 are women, five are black, one is Native American and one is Hispanic... Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren is Native American."

Your post on my Talk was nonsense. Nothing in that cited source "disproves" the article's near-primary point: Elizabeth Warren is Native American. If you believe Warren is NOT a Native American, please provide a ref for that (otherwise, you seem to be relying on WP:OR to insist that The Harvard Crimson was in error). --207.255.10.164 (talk) 22:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

I am glad you feel the need to come to my talk page and joust with me; it means you are causing less trouble elsewhere—fewer headaches for the editors who do not have an activist axe to grind. Regarding the first diff: you failed to cite the Harvard Crimson in the article proper—you listed Warren without a cite, just like Cheeseburrito did before you. I saw your reversion to restore Cheeseburrito's faulty version as edit warring with a view to hurt Warren. Cheeseburrito had been reverted by Seb az86556 and then again by me. You were piling on, hence the trout.

Enjoy your Memorial Day, hug a veteran if you can. Binksternet (talk) 22:20, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Clipping (audio) edit

Can you tell me why you removed my addition? "Perfect Declipper can nearly completely remove harmonics distortion, but not all intermodulation distortion." Your response was: "Rv hardly likely." - does that mean that you think the statement is not true? If so, I'ld like to refer you to the Perfect Declipper demo video that plays some recordings before and after repair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqOljvx9KaM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.168.39.55 (talk) 23:29, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

I would characterize the Pefect Declipper as being able to make a clipped audio file be more listenable, not characterize it with a waffling non-statement such as "nearly completely" being able to meet an easily measurable technical criteria. Also, you will need to find a reliable secondary source, not a promotional youtube video. Binksternet (talk) 23:38, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Ok clear. I tried to find other sources but so far I failed - I did find some online reviews that compared it to other declippers and concluded that this one does a better job, but you can hardly quality those as "reliable". So, should I just add a link without any statements about what it does? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.168.39.55 (talk) 00:55, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

If nobody from a reliable source (industry rag, engineering journal) has commented on the declipper then Misplaced Pages does not need to list it. We summarize published facts; we do not deliver new facts that have not been published in reliable sources. Sorry! Binksternet (talk) 01:21, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Not bamboozled

Hi, Bink. I just wanted to take a moment to apologise for my uncivil and wholly unwarranted intimation that you'd not come to your own conclusion about Cronon's blog, but had been unduly influenced by others. Seriously, that was way out of line, and in retrospect I feel pretty embarrassed for having implied it. It's no excuse, but I was trying so hard in the thread to avoid responding with in-kind aggression to opposing editors that I let my irritation at them spill over, completely unfairly, on to you, a like minded one in the context. I do still think it's helpful to readers to have a link to the entry in the section, so they can easily see for themselves what touched off all the drama, but it was wrong of me to try to argue for that unfairly and prejudicially, as I did. Sorry. --OhioStandard (talk) 09:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

That's okay! No sweat. Binksternet (talk) 11:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for your wisdom . I know it is a contentious area right now, and I personally appreciate it when I see an editor that will correct an innocent mistake on their own. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 17:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

I wish the reason for your thanks was something I was happier about! Heh heh... Binksternet (talk) 17:11, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey, it was a thanks for using good judgement and having enough character to not just see if you can get away with it. Th

Re: Em dashes with spaces

It's not my fault that style choices on Misplaced Pages were made by ignoramuses operating in a vacuum. Sorry, but the guidelines on use of dashes are wrong, and not followed by competent book publishers. They are also contrary to principles taught to typists in business schools. There is a reason for preceding em dashes and en dashes with a non-breaking space and following them with a normal space. Since Misplaced Pages isn't a typesetting system, we have no other means of controlling where a sentence will break. If no spaces are provided, the em dash or en dash can and will end up in column 1 of the following line when rendered in most browsers. Book publishers take great pains to avoid this, because it breaks the stride of the reader; even though you can no doubt find examples to the contrary, this is generally the result of poor proofreading. I will continue to do what I am doing until the people who wrote this drivel get their act together and clean up WP:MoS. You can tell editors such as Fat&Happy that I said so. — Quicksilver 18:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Your target is the talk page of the MOS, not me. I don't particularly care how specifically you think you are right; the main point is that you are going against Misplaced Pages's house style. "Ignoramuses" are the ones you will need to convince in order to get your preference. People are going to resist that style of approach. Binksternet (talk) 18:45, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Could I get some clarification?

No clue why my San Francisco edit was reverted. Apologies if this is the wrong method of communicating; haven't attempted user-to-use communication within Misplaced Pages before.

Thanks, Burne — Preceding unsigned comment added by BurneHoliday (talk • contribs) 20:53, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I focused on all the question marks that your edit applied to the interwiki links at the bottom of the page, the ones that link to different language Misplaced Pages articles about San Francisco. Perhaps you were using a text editor that attempted some kind of spelling correction.

Sorry about removing Christina Olague. I went in just now and restored her name.

In the future, please try not to disturb the interwiki links. Binksternet (talk) 21:14, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Ahh -- What I did was I copy/pasted the entire text of the article into Textpad, edited it there, then copy/pasted the whole thing back. That clearly caused the problem.

In the future I'll be sure to edit from within Misplaced Pages; thank you for your guidance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by BurneHoliday (talk • contribs) 22:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The Great Race

That reference did not say anything about the film being a box office failure, which the Misplaced Pages contributor stated. The film was the 6th highest grossing film of the year and so that incorrect information needed to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xeser (talk • contribs) 08:47, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

The film is not so much "forgotten" today, as you asserted without a cite. The bit about not being a success is a summary of other information in the article body. The lead section is supposed to be a summary of information in the article body. It did not make all of its money back, so the studio lost money on it. That gives us the summary of not being a success. Binksternet (talk) 08:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

XLR connector

Thanks for understanding. My only intent originally was to clarify that in the sentence "input on a jack or an XLR connector", a TRS jack was being referred to. It is after all not correct to assume that "jack" means "quarter inch jack". So I was a little puzzled at your first revert as I never meant to imply the "male = output" convention would apply to the TRS connector. And I don't think I did. In fact that potential confusion was the reason I added the paragraph break before that sentence. Your second try does the right thing. Incidentally, it occurs to me that you can't have a combo XLR male / TRS female chassis mount connector as there is no way to combine the two. So the combo connector only applies to XLR inputs (as long as the flow direction convention is maintained). Jeh (talk) 07:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
