The Guidance Barnstar | ||
Lenticel, I give you this Guidance Barnstar in recognition of your kind guidance regarding the matter of merging Luzon Empire and Ancient Tondo. -- Alternativity (talk) 10:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC) |
Hi. As per LK's suggestion, I've given much thought to the name of this article, and the appropriateness of a "Kingdom of" format. In light of this, and the existence now of Kingdom of Maynila and Kingdom of Namayan, I'd like to move Ancient Tondo to Kingdom of Tondo. But I'd specifically like to ask if you have objections to it. I've raised the matter up on talk:Ancient Tondo. Thanks. (I know I'm supposed to be on Wikibreak in preparation for NaNoWriMo, but I can't help myself... -- Alternativity (talk) 17:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to suggest you take a look at WP:GAR to see what it's about. What you'll find is that GAR is not a hostile delisting task force, it's just another group dedicated, as it seems you are, to the quality of the encyclopedia. Malleus was working for GAR, doing tedious work to make sure the quality of GAs had not deteriorated. As you know, articles can worsen over time, as miscellaneous edits accumulate, so this is a job worth doing. He had no intent to offend you, or any editor, and in fact did a good deal to help the article; but when you didn't understand why he was doing what he was doing, your blunt reaction startled and irritated him. Like you, he's a volunteer, after all.
Malleus has now essentially given up on the project; see this recent version of his user page. I know that you're an administrator; I read your RfA and it appears you're well liked and respected, and were trusted to make mature decisions. I'd like you to consider how this interaction looked from Malleus's point of view, and then see if you find his reaction understandable. If so, it would probably be helpful if you stopped at his talk page. I think you do owe him something of an apology: he did a good deal of work on Chocolate Hills, thinking that the editors of that page would be grateful for the help in keeping the article at the same level of quality it was when it was taken to GA. If I were an editor of that page, I'd be glad of the help; I think you should consider thanking Malleus. And if you can get to the point where you can understand why Malleus became so disenchanted with Wikipedia after his interactions with you, an apology would be very helpful.
Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk) 01:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
If I may just interject. I have absolutely no interest in an apology from Lenticel, and would not accept one even if it were offered; he is just one more example of the rot in the administrator corps. Not his fault, rather the fault of the system that chose him and finds it impossible to unchoose him once he's demonstrated his unsuitability for the position. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Jerry deleted Dream Satellite TV article last January. It means this is the satellite network in the Philippines. Can you please restore the article? You're an administrator, right?

Hi! I wonder if you could help me fix the locator map for Mount Malindang. The coordinate seems right but the triangle that will indicate its location in the Philippine locator map does not coincide with its exact location. Please help. ThanksKleomarlo (talk) 01:57, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I think the Tambayan needs to try getting another crack at this collaboration thing. The previous attempt failed due to a lack of interest, a lack of available materials, and too lofty a goal (FA). Looking at what happened to WP:MMM, getting articles to FA status is not an easy task especially for a loosely-held group of people like the Tambayan.
I know you're leery of the GA process, but I think that getting articles to GA status is more achievable. I certainly prefer getting 10 articles to GA than getting 1 article to FA for the same amount of effort.
So I suggest that we overhaul the Collab process in the following ways:
I'm also thinking you be the Collaboration department chair since I'm already handling the Assessment department. :-D

Idk, i am paranoid. When I am logged out, Wiki seems to be working good. But the moment I log in, there seems to be a problem with the pages I am visiting. Something to do with the skin, but no, I am in no doubt it has nothing to do with the skin. When I edit pages, there seems to have a problem too, my tools in editing is missing. Do you have the same problem as I do? I tried logging in at our office, it is the same, the page appear to be not organized. I tried logging in at my house, it is still the same. Do you have the same problem as I do or I am the only one? Axxand (talk) 06:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Lenticel, thank you very much for participating in my Rfa, which was successful with 80 Support, 5 Oppose, 6 Neutral. The comments were overwhelming, and hopefully I can live up to the expectation of the community. I would also like to thank my nominator Realist2 and my co-nom Orane (talk), and special mention to Acalamari and Lenticel (talk) for the kindness from the start. Regards, Efe |

I argued to remove the redirect argument by analogy → false analogy and I have now found that "the result of the debate was Keep." Why is this the result? Because I stopped arguing and lost by default? B. Wind's "argument" ("we are left with two options: either deletion or keeping the redirect. Clearly the latter is the better option. . . there is no valid reason to delete the redirect right now") is merely an expression of opinion that cites no reasoning behind it, and Rossami's reply is actually an argument to keep the page history, but similarly makes no attempt to justify the opinion that the redirect should stay. Neither B. Wind nor Rossami say anything to refute my reasoning to remove the redirect, which is actually destructive, since it implies that there is already an article for "argument by analogy" and thus decreases its chances of being created as a separate article.

Hi Lenticel, thought I'd put my research here to avoid the no advice erasure, for your question on unbidden memories. There's a wiki article Flashback (psychological phenomenon) which is too stubby to be of great help, but it's a start. repressing it is a form of defense. : ) Julia Rossi (talk) 05:01, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Lenticel. I come across from WikiProject Cat to ask you a favor. I saw your message on the talk age. The article Tabby cat was suddenly moved to Tabby coat pattern by User:Cats rule yesterday without any previous discussion nor consensus. I think the title is terrible, but I could not move it back to the original because some anon tested the redirect page[1] Would you restore the original title? I think if Cats rule wants to keep the title, he should open a discussion and requests for move. I don't I think I should do that on behalf of him because I don't like the unilaterally moved title. Thanks--Caspian blue 18:12, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
I wanted to note that you raised concerns that "leverage" meant politics. Not at all. Simply put, admins don't really concern themselves with discussing blocks with non admin, and non admin are totally left out of the ArbCom enforcement discussions. Both of these areas tend to weigh heavily to those who seek to put harder punishments than are necessary, which drive editors either off of Wiki or, in the worse cases, sets them up for years of being a vandal or sock puppeting. I've witnessed it many, many times in the past. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:26, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. A quick question: is this a legitimate term that's known about in the Philippines, or is it just the invention of some blog the author lifted it from (in which case WP:RS would not be satisfied)? Thanks. - Biruitorul Talk 03:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
I enjoy being in Wikipedia but alas my time here is coming to an end. This WikiSloth is floating in the river of IRL, away from the dense jungle of the wiki and into newer horizons. I'm not leaving at Wikipedia because they don't treat me well enough or other arrogant nonsense. On the contrary, there are now editors that can easily take my place and give me the peace of mind that the wiki will eventually improve. The Tambayan has good editors that produce great articles and help shape old ones. MFD and RFD has more admin monitors now. Even DYK has experienced some nice boost in volunteers.
As for me, I'll be devoting more time improving real life things so I have to cut down on my internet entertainment and volunteering usage (not all usage, I still need it for research and my job).
It may take a little while before I get back to editing but I hope you guys and Wikipedia will be much better than when I left.

In English language discussions of the feral or random-bred population of dogs found in the Philipines, the word "Askei" is sometimes used. The problem with the article is what to call it. The word Mongrel and Mutt both link to mixed breed, which says that it's a vague misnomer that is based on reverse logic about how such popularions arise; namely that they are what results when purebred animals mix, while the reality is that such random-bred populations as the "Askei" are the gentic soup from which purebred dogs are artifically selected.
The word "breed" is going to be problematic, because according to one very popular definition, it implies breed recognition by the UKC or some such.The word "mutt" says random-bred, but probably says more about how we feel about these dogs, which may have a very healthy set of genes. "Lesser dog", "disrespected dog", "filthy, dirty, mangy mutt". It's a lot like the word "cur", it's heavy on the negative connotation and maybe therefore too point-of-view for an encyclopedia, except for maybe in a subsection about how the native population feels about the native random-bred dogs. You could say the same about "Mongrel".
The word landrace is pretty accurate. That's what they are, but you have to think whether you want a word so few people understand in the lead of an article. They're definately random-bred, and that's more easily understood. But remember these two are not exactly the same meaning.
Adding to this is the fact that, outside of this very narrow topic range, the word basically doesn't exist in English, but is rather one of several words the native populations tend to have about such dogs, and most of them have the meaning of "no particular type of dog", "street dog", "stray dog", or some such. Native speakers of the language stop by objecting to the specialist English langauge borrowing their words.

Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:43, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Lenticel, salamat sa paglalagay ng kategorya sa artikulong Motorcycle Diaries. Hindi ko alam kung pati yung ginawa kong Mondo Manu na artikulo ay nilagyan mo ng kategorya. Ngunit salamat na din, at sana ipagpatuloy mo lang ang maganda mong layunin sa Wiking ito. Salamat ulit. Hamham31 (talk) 05:14, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Could I ask for your help specifically on the Rajah Lakan Dula article ( Which I'm convinced should be renamed Lakan Dula, but that's a fight for a different day) and its talk page Talk:Rajah Lakan Dula? Anons have been pushing a fringe theory there, and have not hesitated to personally attack me for disagreeing. I think you're online more often than I am and able to watch over those pages more often than I am. I'm not asking for major work there (although more hands would be welcome hehe), just for folks to guard against the unwarranted addition of uncited facts, the removal of cited facts, the use of unreliable (oral family history) sources, and vandalism.?

Hi,
Do you find the en dashes in category names a pain?[3] I've switched over the names of many of the language-family articles (from hyphens to dashes), but I don't know how we expect people to add categories when they have to type an en dash and can't, or don't know they need to. With the MOS, we've made it clear that this is just a formatting issue, that no-one should have to use them. I've asked to have these categories moved back; would you support that? — kwami (talk) 07:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Lenticel! Thanks for adding a taxobox and cleaning up Stelechocarpus burahol. May I ask, though, if you had copied and pasted the taxobox code from somewhere, where did you source it from? At WP:PLANTS we're trying to rid the taxoboxen of the severely outdated Tracheophyta and less-but-still-outdated Magnoliopsida in favor of the APG III system. We've switched most of the plant taxoboxen, but if there's a source being copied that still uses Tracheophyta, I'd like to identify and change it to reflect consensus. If you didn't C&P from somewhere, just know, then, that the APG III system is the preferred system of higher classification :-) Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 14:43, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello!
As I'm sure you've noticed, I did a lot-o'-stuff to the Cultural depictions of spiders article. You seem to be a major contributor to it's original content, so I thought you might want to comment on the changes, make suggestions, etc. Actually, I didn't originally intend to do a major overhaul. At first I simply moved a couple of "urban legend" items from the Huntsman spider article because there was a consensus that it really didn't belong there. After creating the Modern myths and urban legends section, I moved appropriate items from other sections, and found a couple of additions to fill out that section. - That was all I originally intended to do. Then, after reading the article, I could tell that it was a "good article" (a few years ago), and had a lot of interesting information, but had become disorganized from "too many chefs" over the years. I simply thought I'd sort things out into a logical sequence and do a little re-organizing, in the hopes of restoring it to a truly "GA" again. Well, ...
...I kept finding interesting stuff to add, and one thing leads to another... —I hope you don't mind my doing such a major job of messing with the article. Feel free to change/remove anything that I've done. Some things I hoped to accomplish:
I'm at least 90% done with what I hope to accomplish with this article. I hope my efforts meet with your approval. Please don't worry about offending me if you think some things should be changed, or wish to undo stuff. This post is already too verbose, so I'll sign off. There are items that need to be addressed, but I'll discuss them later. ~Thanks, ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 (talk) 20:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
There is a poster image uploaded to a Picasa album that could be useful, (iconic depiction of a Circus Elephant). I don't have upload privileges, and believe there should not be copyright issues. "Big Bingo" was with Ringling Bros 1896—1918, so the poster was presumably made during that time. See also, "Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus". I did some minor correction to the poster image - also uploaded is a photo that might be useful: an antique Circus Wagon depicting an elephant. My minor crop version, from Library of Congress Archive; (image info:[4]), with "No known restrictions on publication". There are other images that you might want to check out in this archive gallery:[5]. There is another interesting poster depicting an elephant "band" - but the one that I uploaded to Picasa is more iconic, and features a single elephant. Also, I uploaded my "quality upgrade" version of an interesting 19th century Japanese woodcut engraving from Library of Congress. Details:[6] - This might be an example of variation of "White Elephant" story.

For expanding the Vanilla ice cream article from this to this. Normally expanding a single article like that wouldn't warrant a barnstar, but that's a pretty important article.
