List of books set in New York City

Hi, I discovered that list the other day and will add more if I can think of any. A belated welcome to Wikipedia! <KF> 18:36, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

PS Signing your name plus date is easy: ~~~~

HOw do I do it?

Look for the "tilde" sign on your keyboard and add it four times in a row. Just try it out, it works. On mine—but it's a German one right now—it is on the right-hand side next to the carriage return. All the best, <KF> (this was only three times).

The tilde sign? I don't know what that is? [[[Bremen]]] Bremen

It's this: ~

Hope to see you around the Wiki! And if you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact me on my talk page! - Elf

Bull Terrier photos

Could you please identify the sources for the Bull Terrier images you uploaded? Specifically, they're at Image:Redbull.jpg and Image:Bullterrier.jpg; need to know who the photographer was if you know, or where they came from, and whether they're really free to use on wikipedia under the GFDL or public domain licensing. Thanks. Elf | Talk 20:52, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why pink, not blue?

If you'd like to know more about the dog breed articles and how we're trying to make them reasonably consistent with each other, check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds. Dog breed tables are pink; that's just what we decided a couple hundred breeds ago, which came out of the Tree of Life project in which mammals are pink. So it has a lot of history to it. :-) Elf | Talk 23:46, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No problem! It's so easy & fun to edit here, but there's a lot of stuff to become acquainted with, too. I've been at it over a year and I'm still learning some things. Elf | Talk 00:07, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Anita Diamant

OK, the language looks good, but it still needs some Wikipedia markup. See Wikipedia:Manual of style. This is called "wikifying" or "wikification", if you see these terms use din the future.  :) RickK 21:06, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Dog articles

Excellent. You're off to a rolling start! Thanks so much. Couple of suggestions in general:

• Wikipedia convention uses sentence case in headings, not title case (e.g., use Dog articles, not Dog Articles).
• I think just "Health" is more to the point than "Health issues" as a heading--after all, we could also call the others "Temperament issues", "Appearance issues"...  :-). Besides, you'll find that some articles talk about the breed's good health and general longevity in that section, not merely about bad things.
• If you sign your posts on the talk pages, it'll be easier for people to see who said 'em without having to go to the history page. Just takes some getting used to. Elf | Talk 01:30, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

BTW, you're doing great so far and it's a delight to have someone new with energy tackle the dog stuff. Hope you're taking all my suggestions & comments & edits in an educational light, not a critical one. Elf | Talk 03:08, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your work!

• Halló Bremen! I could see your changes at Special:Recentchangeslinked/Category:Dog breeds. Some time ago I

More thanks

You're still doing a great job. I actually dared to try changing the order & subheads in an article and found myself wondering "Am I doing it how Bremen would do it?" :-)

Hey, thought i'd put a plug in for a couple more tweaks once you get past the "Go..." dog breeds in List of dog breeds; I take a stab at these periodically but just don't always have time for it. If you don't want to, that's fine, but figured it didn't hurt to mention:

• Change occurrences of {{stub}}, {{msg:stub}},{{animal-stub}} or any other stub to {{dog-stub}}.
• Change the AKC breed link to the new correct link on the AKC site. It looks like maybe they actually finally put in their own redirects from the old page names to the new page names, but I think it's smart to try to fix them all to the correct URLs. The new current URLs all end in something like breedname/index.cfg; the old ones end in something like breedabbrev.cfg. Easiest way to fix is have a window open to AKC's complete breed list, click on the breed, and capture the URL from the browser. (Some of the FSS/rare breeds are listed separately at the end of the page.)

Ottoman Map

• What is the copyright status of the Ottoman map you uploaded for the History of the Balkans article? -Litefantastic 17:50, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Bremen. Generally speaking, most images available on the internet are NOT considered to be legally in the public domain (almost no images or photographs created after the 1920s generally are). Sometimes we use copyrighted material under the fair use clause but generally we try not to do that -- it should only be used for situations in which there are no alternatives. Usually images are in the public domain ONLY if they have been released into it by their authors (generally rare outside of Wikipedians), if they are too old for a copyright (usually pre-1923, I think), or if they have been created by a source which means it cannot be copyrighted (any work by the US federal government, for example). If you look at Wikipedia:Copyright it goes into a little more detail. In the case of this map, it is likely not in the public domain -- it looks like it is scanned out of a modern textbook. In this case, the best approach might be to ask someone at Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps if they could re-create the map using some of our map templates we have (I am sure someone there would be glad to do it -- it would not be a lot of work technically speaking and would look quite professional if done well). Another approach to seeing the varieties of "free" images are to look at the options at Wikipedia:Image tags. --Fastfission 03:44, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• • Ok thanks for all the input. I guess we can't keep that particular map then huh? I'll ask someone at the map project to look at in a few days.Bremen 17:25, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tommy Douglas, an article you have voted for, is the Canadian Collaboration of the Week for April 2005.

English Shepherd

I don't agree with your changes to the [English Shepherd] page. The introductory section of an article tries to distinguish the topic of the article from other similar things. In this case it tries to distinguish the English Shepherd from other breeds. Since the English Shepherd breed is not familiar to most people I believe that it is important to clearly distinguish it from other similar, related breeds. That is the purpose of the text you moved/removed, to distinguish the English Shepherd from other similar breeds.

Of necessity any introductory material will be redundant with respect to the main body of the article. If all material is moved from the introduction to the appropriate section of the article, then there is nothing left in the intoduction. It is always important to give the reader a context on which to hang the information in the rest of the article. IMHO the best way to give the reader context on the English Shepherd is to compare and contrast with the very similar Border Collie and Australian Shepherd.

I would like for you to revert your changes or to find some way to compare and contast the ES with the BC and AS in the introduction. I was satisfied with the introduction as written so my response would be to revert it. Since you were dissatisfied I thought it would be better to contact you and see if we could reach a mutually satisfactory solution. Dsurber 03:05, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I like that better. I also added a sentence contrasting the Border Collie. Dsurber 11:55, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

WWII enemy action in North America

Hi, I read that you had restored the following statement to the Bell Island, Newfoundland and Labrador article:

"Bell Island was the only location in North America to have seen enemy action during the war."

Bell Island may have been the only location in close proximity to Newfoundland's landmass which saw enemy action (ie. the U-boat attack on the iron ore ships in Conception Bay), but it was not the only location in all of North America to witness enemy action.

The U-boat campaign along the Atlantic coast was mostly conducted off-shore from U.S. ports, however the Battle of the St. Lawrence saw dozens of ships sunk by U-boats in waters just as close to shore as the 1942 Bell Island attack. There are numerous cases of ships at anchor, or underway (such as the SS Caribou), in the Cabot Strait, along the Gaspé Peninsula and off Halifax and Sydney (Nova Scotia) harbours which were attacked by U-boats. There are also at least 2 documented cases of U-boats dropping spies/sabateurs on the coastlines of Chaleur Bay and the Bay of Fundy. Additionally, a Japanese submarine actually performed the only naval shore bombardment of North America by an axis vessel when a Canadian lighthouse on the British Columbia coast was shelled.

Had you intended the sentence to read "Newfoundland" instead of "North America"?

Cheers, Plasma east 22:12, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sure - I just didn't want other places on this continent who were so unfortunate to also experience war first-hand to feel left out!  :-) Plasma east 22:38, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Greetings. Do you happen to know the source for Image:Calgnite.jpg? If so, you could strengthen the fair use claim. If not, you might consider tagging the image {{fairuseunknownsource}} instead. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 16:02, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

Fair use doesn't require us to know the source, so it's fine. It still would be better to use the {{fairuseunknownsource}} tag. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)}

I created this page a few minutes ago and now there is this tag on it. I actually created it earlier today but it was deleted. I haven't had much time to enlarge but I can assure you this is a valid article. This author wrote The Object of my Affection which was turned into a movie starring Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd. He's published five novels, the latest just this month and it has been given five star reviews from people and entertainment weekly magazines. Maybe people shouldn't just delete articles without looking to see if they're ok. I wasn't even given a day and poof the thing is gone. Nazis! Bremen 05:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Check out WP:CSD for the criteria that allow immediate deletion of an article. If you've got time to include relevant information in my talk page, why not in the article, where it'll help the readers and prevent the article from being speedily deleted as not asserting notability.

Anyway, the tag was intended mostly to steer you towards the relevant guidelines so you would have a starting place to improve the article. 06:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Preferably the article would make it more clear that he passes the 5,000 people audience test, but I would not restore the tag if you removed it now. NickelShoe (Talk) 06:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of World record progression 50 metres backstroke

A tag has been placed on World record progression 50 metres backstroke requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ~ mazca ^{t | c} 20:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Alex^TW 12:24, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Westworld Request for Comment

FYI, I have opened a RfC for Westworld since consensus was unable to be reached. — nihlus kryik  (talk) 11:41, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunate use of the "Warring" label

Thank you for being a rational voice in this. I too have been an editor for a while (over a decade) and have never experienced someone as rude, obstinate, and hypocritical as what we are experiencing at present. After visiting their contributions page, it is evident they have been involved in multiple edit wars in their brief 3 years as editor. I am, frankly, very surprised they haven't been disciplined for it already. Hopefully an outside opinion will finally put this matter to rest and we can put it all behind us and continue interacting with the rest of the wonderful contributors here on Wikipedia. :) FP2C (talk) 17:34, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

If you're talking about other editors, do ping them. After all, this page is actually on my watchlist. Cheers! -- Alex^TW 17:37, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure who you think I was talking about or why you invited yourself to someone else's conversation but it's nice to see you self identify as being rude, obstinate, and hypocritical :P "Cheers!" FP2C (talk) 17:48, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Funny how I never addressed that to being about me. Thanks for admitting it, though, you walked straight into that. Not here to make friends. Cheerio. -- Alex^TW 18:02, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

And wow! Over a decade. How cute. You made two edits, one in '06 and one in '14, before starting again March this year. That's not being an editor. I can fit your 76 edits on one page; let me know when you've reviewed my 63,000. You've no idea, kid. -- Alex^TW 18:09, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Alex, I would advise visiting Wikipedia:Civility as these are policies you might like to read before you comment further on this page, thank you. Bremen (talk) 18:39, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

"After all, this page is on my watchlist." Seems pretty self-referential. And not that you deserve any explanation but I edited for a long time without logging in because, with traveling and on public computers, I didn't like logging in unnecessarily and I have no need to claim credit for my editing, I do it for the advancement of knowledge for all humanity, not personal glory. Seeing as my initial comment had no identifiable information about any individual but was rather a lament at the sad behavior displayed by a small minority of editors on this great site, your initial comment was neither requested nor applicable so I will kindly ask you to remove yourself from this conversation and cease harassing Bremen and myself per the Wikipedia Harassment policy. FP2C (talk) 20:29, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

You were the one that said three years, and you were the one stalking my contributions, so. Up to you. Funny how you're not denying it either. Editing between an account and IP? Very frowned upon, especially if any disciplinary actions were talking on either form of editing, and if you swapped to avoid that... Minority of editors? No. You spoke singular and in gender-neutral pronouns. Given that this is the talk page of Bremen, I will leave the talk page if Bremen requests me to. If this were your talk page, I would leave it only if you request me to. Glad you understand that. -- Alex^TW 03:47, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

I would request that you refrain from posting on this page again, because you clearly are unable to argue without antagonizing the other parties, and because nothing of value has been said by you. You are also in clear violation of half a dozen civility policies. 1. "This page is on my watchlist." Bordering on harassment? 2. Signing off with Cheers or Cheerio in a completely flippant and sarcastic manner. 3. "I'm not here to make friends." You certainly do not have to be friends with anyone here but that comment is unnecessarily rude and inflammatory. 4. Your mocking of FP2C's 76 edits: "That's not being an editor." Whether someone has made 1 or 1 million edits, they are still a Wikipedia editor and should be treated with respect. Quantity does not equal quality. 5. "You've no idea, kid." Again with the rude, condescending and dismissive remarks. 6. You also are trying to insinuate that because the user has made many edits without being signed in that there is some malicious purpose for this. You have no proof so enough with the outrageous claims. I myself have made many many edits without being signed in, usually small spelling or grammar corrections, when I was too lazy to sign in. There is nothing wrong with this. I asked you to visit the civility page but before coming back to comment here, and it seems unlikely that you did, because nothing has sunk in. So yes, please do not comment further on this page. Thank you. Bremen (talk) 10:05, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

No problems. Enjoy the RFC. Cheers. -- Alex^TW 10:33, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
