Sure thing.  I just happened to notice what a mess you were struggling with in that article, and so I jumped in to help. Quite often, it's hard to work with single-purpose users, who have a hard time comprehending the bigger picture, for lack of comparison.  One tries, though...

==Thank you==
Thank you for your message regarding the adding of images. So nice to have some positive feedback, after my wobbly start with wikipedia. Think your suggestion of taking 'requests' for images is a good one although not quite sure how I'd go about keeping up with demand at the moment. Perhaps we could start to compile a list on my talk page and then the V&A webteam could look at it and decide how achievable it might be? This would also depend on copyright of images - you'll see all the ones I've used so far are of objects over 100 years old.

==Jordan23==

Thank you for your input and help in expanding articles.  I started a few pieces, one for an artist, Doris Downes, but hit some roadblocks and got discouraged with negative feedback from the same user.  I finally gave up and lost interest in trying to cite sources because I noticed other contributors were having the same problems when they were adding to the bio.  With your help, I will go back and use the correct format for this and hope for the best!  I am a student, so I'm not on wikipedia as often as I would like to be, to contribute in a constructive way.  Love the Breughel above!!

== deletion request ==

Hi Tyrenius, it looks as though the Discussion page on Steve Kurtz would meet the criteria for deletion due to unrefereced negative content about living persons. All the edits up through 12/01/07 and the entirety of the "discussion" appear to have been made by one individual using 3 different sockpuppets and constitutes a series of libelous, unreferenced (and untrue) comments. Thank you, ([[User:Habeascorpus01|Habeascorpus01]] ([[User talk:Habeascorpus01|talk]]) 23:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC))

==AFD Articles==

I know you are very busy.  I have perused the contents and I am confused about the meaning of an outcome, once it is voted on, as "No Consensus" and who decides what 'tips the scales'.  Does this automatically mean that an AFD tag can be added again, and by the same person who put it on in the first place (not an administrator).  Thank you in advance.[[User:Annlanding|Annlanding]] ([[User talk:Annlanding|talk]]) 20:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)Annlanding

:Thank you for clearing this up- or less foggy.  Will work on the article when I can get the proper sources, references, and there seem to be plenty to bring this up to notability and/or guidelines for wikibios.  You might notice that there have been widespread deletions of material to the article, itself, making it difficult to bring it up to standards. I might also add that notability tags on other articles have been removed without voting, and without the big brouhaha that has ensued with this.

Another editor has added the "{{tl|prod}}" template to the article [[!WOWOW!]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] and [[Wikipedia:Notability]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at [[Talk:!WOWOW!|its talk page]]. If you remove the {{tl|prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. <!-- Template:PRODNote --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 10:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

==Thanks for your welcome -- and a question==
Thank you for leaving your kind -- and extremely helpful -- welcome message on my talk page. By now I've familiarized myself in a general way with the Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and I've practiced my technical skills by over-developing my user page.

I'd like to take on a project that's somewhat ambitious, and I could use some advice.

In the [[Portal:Arts/Things you can do]], it's mentioned as an open, priority task to expand the article [[Modernist poetry]]. I would like to work on this.
 
The existing article is a 1-paragraph stub that has remained unedited and undiscussed since first written by [[User:Stirling Newberry]] 00:32, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC). The article has a [[Modernist poetry#See also]], several of whose references to national schools are themselves not even stubs but would need to be created. It also cites two perhaps unnecessarily competing lists: [[List of modernist poets]] and [[List of English-language first and second generation modernist writers]]. Both of these lists are highly uncategorized and English-centric. Neither is remotely as good as the [[List of American artists]] that you praise on your user page.

So, this project is highly ambitious in that it would involve creating at least stubs for a half dozen presently nonexistent articles, besides expanding the main article, as well as restructuring two lists. So maybe somebody more experienced should tackle it.

On the other hand, though, nobody else has displayed any interest in it for 3 years.  I can't even figure out who cited it on the Arts portal as needing more work -- or what they hoped would come of it.  

I've been working on some notes (collapsed) under "Modernist poetry" at [[User:William P. Coleman#Arts - to do]] for what to do with it.

I've been thinking of doing the following:
* writing to Stirling Newberry and asking what he had in mind when he originally created the article stub
* moving the notes from my user page to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Poetry]] and asking for advice and help from them
* moving the notes from my user page to [[Talk:Modernist poetry]] and to the other talk pages involved -- and then just starting to work "boldly" on that cluster of pages.

Do you have any advice?  Can you suggest the name of a user with enough time and at least some interest in Modernist poetry who would like to formally or informally mentor me?  Or should I ask for a formal mentor through [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User]]?  Or could I probably make it just by whatever advice I can pick up?

Thanks again!

I appreciate your prompt reply -- despite being busy -- on my talk page.  Thanks also for leaving the material about how to do references.  That's one thing I didn't have to cope with yet while experimenting on my user page, and I knew that I'd need to learn about it soon.

<p>As for your general advice, in a word you seem to be reconfirming that the main thing is, "Be Bold!"

<p>I'll get started.

Hi Tyrenius, may I ask for your help? I think a template ''Post-Impressionism'' would be helpful, but - silly enough - I know how to edit, but do not know how to '''''start''''' such a template (I've tried, but without success).

I don't think you saw the humour in the statement..  nevermind.<br>
Anyhow, I will soon be taking [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andersen Windows]] to deletion review, as far as I can see, the article is spam in its current form and the company is N/N per WP:CORP.<<br>
[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Wafer]] seems to be quite notable, however i'm not sorry I did nominate as dramatic improvements to the article are now being made, although the nomination ''was'' made in good faith. <br>
[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Distributed Art Publishers]] is clearly N/N per [[WP:CORP]] if it goes '''Keep''' i'll def. take to deletion review as the company is in no way notable.<br>
In all cases, I take deletion seriously.  As far as is practicable I try to ascertain whether the article in question belongs on Wikipedia according to relevant guidelines.  However, if you have any further compaints/comments, etc feel free to take them up with me.<br>

Hey Tyr. I just wanted to thank you for taking the initiative over the Vk issue.

Just to reassure you, your comment is ''exactly'' what I want and, should he decide to listen too you, I would embrace any good faith efforts from Vk. I'm even willing to meet him part of the way, if he can begin to show good faith and persistently work in a civilized manner, in time I will begin to remove articles that overlap on our shared watch list (assuming there are other regular editors to keep an eye on those pages) thereby minimizing our sphere of overlap. I'm willing to do this, essentially restrict my own editing rather than ask him to restrict his, as a gesture of goodwill. But only if he can cut the incivility, abuse and snide remarks out completely and permanently.

==Ab Ex==
I find the inclusion of the Gorky highly misleading as a visual presentation of Ab Ex, and its only relevance to the movement is within Gorky's work as showing the initial signs of his later development. Surely a mature Gorky fits the bill. This painting sits much better as a derivation of Picasso's classical period. There are other dubious inclusions, e.g. [[Alexander Calder]] whose article doesn't even mention Ab Ex. I suggest copying all this to [[Talk:Abstract expressionism]] and holding discussions there.

::(added response) I actually think both [[Arshile Gorky]] and [[Alexander Calder]] belong here, if for no other reason than they are both important and seminal influences on the advent of American abstract expressionism. The Gorky actually is a forerunner of the developement of a type of Abstract expressionism, a little beyond the Picasso derived influence.

:Hi Tyrenius. Actually, I wouldn't have deleted the "bgcolour" line from the sample template; I think it's better to leave it there so that people can use it (or remove it) according to their needs. The template doc says to omit this parameter if you want the default blue colour. The imagesize parameter is a little bit different; if people leave it as "| imagesize = ", then they will get the default image size. Incidentally, [[User:Lanovsky]] appears to have messed up the template's doc page back on the 14th of August by substituting values for the parameter names (e.g. they replaced "name" with "Frederic Lanovsky"). I'd suggest this was a mistaken good-faith edit; they probably meant to edit ''a transclusion'' of the template, but ended up editing the template (doc) itself. I recommend reverting the doc page to the version of 11th August, but with the current list of interwiki links. I'd do it myself, but you protected it.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for your information regarding my "vandalism". I'm genuinely sorry that I seem to altering the information currently displayed but much of it is either wrong or biased. Once again,I must remind you that Padraic E.Moore does not wish to be labelled as Christy Moore's son in this context. The Defastenists did not show at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. That was a misprint in Irish Times in which an architectural critic was asked about the cutural highlights of 2006. Several comments were mistakenly combined in the editing process. Furthermore,the information regarding the Celebration on the Guinness estate is reductive and misleading as is much of the description of the groups continued practice. This group of practitioners have effectively been misrepresented by this entry. If I make some changes in the coming weeks and subsantiate them according to sources etc,will they be retained?

If you remember, you [[Wikipedia_talk:User_page#Collection_of_evidence|weighed in]] on the use of user pages to draft a future RFC, and whether such use might count as an attack page if not promptly converted from a personal on-wiki collection of evidence about a person into an actual RFC or ArbCom case.  The above is an ongoing discussion of one such user page; part of the question is what counts as a "reasonable" period of time to bring the RFC or delete the draft.  (Opinions differ from "a few days" to "several months.")  The discussion seems to be floundering a bit on what this policy means, so, if you're interested, I thought you might have input to add.  (If not, sorry to bug you.)  Thanks. --[[User:TheOtherBob|TheOther]][[User talk:TheOtherBob|Bob]] 15:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Johnbod&diff=prev&oldid=189161137 Heh], it seems the text I used was worded well. :) Anyway, I noticed you've been granting rollback, and so I thought that you might want to know that two userspace template messages, [[User:Acalamari/Rollback]] and [[User:NoSeptember/Rollback]], are available if you want to give a message informing someone if you've given them rollback. Thanks. [[User:Acalamari|Acalamari]] 18:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
:You're welcome! Yes, you're right about there being some users who aren't able to become admins for various reasons but would benefit from having rollback: in the rollback proposal, one of the common reasons for opposition was that anyone who was trusted with rollback could be trusted with all the tools. In reality, there have been many users who have run through RfA who clearly know how to use rollback correctly, but are often opposed for either not enough article-writing experience or lack of knowledge of the deletion and/or blocking policies.

== Admin misconduct. ==

I don't know Sarah, it's not about her.  OrderinChaos, however... <br> In November a non-encyclopedic discussion started on an Australian Election discussion page.  It was started by Timeshift who claimed he didn't care that he was breaking the rules.  Unfortunately, to stop the discussion I broke the 3RR rule.  Someone else agreed and also deleted the conversation.  Nearly a day later, OrderinChaos reverted the conversation and tried to continue it and reported me for the 3RR breach, getting me banned.  In the process of trying to remove the ban (which, of course, I couldn't because I had breached the 3RR rule) other Admins became involved.  Because of this, the conversation was again removed, and it was pointed out to OrderinChaos by another Admin that he was in the wrong to have returned it.  This occured on Timeshift's page and he has a habit of removing any talk that portrays him badly.  I saved the thread, which includes the comments made to OrderinChaos, and despite the fact that yet another Admin said that I was within my rights to keep it, he likes to bring in up whenever we meet.  Ever since then, whenever Timeshift has a problem with me, OrderinChaos gets involved.  This time, they joked on his page about him having to "slap me around" last time. <br> That's my beef with OrderinChaos.  I doubt whether it's actionable, being circumstantial and requiring a dropping of Good Faith, so what's the point in making a complaint? <br> [[User:Duggy 1138|Duggy 1138]] ([[User talk:Duggy 1138|talk]]) 04:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

:: I'm sorry, yes, Block, not Ban.
:: I broke WP:3RR.  I thought I made it clear in the above that that was the case and that I accept that I did wrong.  Sorry I wasn't clear.
:: I know that users are allow to remove anything from their talk page, that's a side issue here.  And yes, I know you're not allow to replace it.  This is what I was pointing out to RObOX.
:: Sorry, I honestly remember it as "Slap him around" looking again, it wasn't... and I notice that he inserted a clarification higher in the thread 15 minutes after I addressed it.  I won't say he deliberately hid it, but I will say that can see why I didn't see it at the time of the discussion.
:: What is the difference between arguing and trying to clarify or seeking clarification?  I feel that I've been trying to clear things up.  The stuff on OrderInChaos page, I feel is more a result of the fact that Timeshift removes comment from his page.  You can't address him there, so when you both turn up in another place, the stuff that should be in his page boils over.
:: OrderInChaos's bias in Timeshift's favour (as represented by him being told he was wrong by two separate admins in relation to parts of incidents between myself and Timeshift on two separate occations), of course, didn't help things.
:: [[User:Duggy 1138|Duggy 1138]] ([[User talk:Duggy 1138|talk]]) 05:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

::: Of course, I feel I'm always right, I wouldn't do what I did if I thought it was wrong.  Good faith assumes benefit of the doubt, I thought.
::: I did read it as "Slap him around", and I replied in that vain, and his clarification wasn't put in the best place.
::: "I notice that he inserted a clarification higher in the thread 15 minutes after I addressed it."  Well, he did.  I'm sure he did so in good faith.  It was just a really bad place to put it, and I *can* see why I didn't see it at the time.
::: "I feel that I've been trying to clear things up."  "Clarify thing" would be better wording, that doesn't make me sound like I'm the better man.  I'm not.
::: "I won't say he deliberately hid it", because I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.
::: "The stuff on OrderInChaos page, I feel is more a result of the fact that Timeshift removes comment from his page."  Well, I feel that it was mostly there because me and Timeshift were arguing on it.  Chaos added to things, but it's his page so he should, but I really think it got out of hand because of me and Timeshift.  I think the main reason that me and Timeshift were doing it on his page and not Timeshifts is because Timeshift deletes.  But it was *me* and Timeshift.  Not just Timeshift.  Chaos was the victim of our behaviour.
::: "OrderInChaos's bias in Timeshift's favour"  Yes, that is what we are discussing here.  You asked me to report OrderInChaos, I'm asking if it's worth doing, or don't I have enough?
::: "I suggest you rethink."  I think I need to reclarify.  Sometimes I'm not clear in what I say, which is why I need to re-reply to things to fix mistakes in what I said in my original reply.

== advice ==
I am new to wikipedia, but I think I have a problem with another "member."
Correct me if I am wrong, but the way these dynamic encyclopedias work, is that proper names and concepts should be "linked" even if there is no page as yet.  That way when someone creates that page, all the previous references will link to it. I just wrote an article and someone came and removed all the links to as yet empty pages.  Even the ones I was meaning to work on.  This doesn't seem to make any sense.  I am sure there are no bots to go around "linkifying" references at a later date.  How do I deal with this user?  I'm afraid to say "boo" because I am terrified of encouraging vandalism.  [[User:EraserGirl|EraserGirl]] ([[User talk:EraserGirl|talk]]) 21:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

== renaming articles ==
I have read so many wiki pages I can't remember where I read something. Am I right in thinking that I can't rename an article, I can only recreate it under the new name and flag the old one for deletion?  I have been loathe to add a deletion flag to anything and I am not sure how to do it. I am "splitting" an article into a (book) and a (film) [[User:EraserGirl|EraserGirl]] ([[User talk:EraserGirl|talk]]) 16:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
: thank you! that worked perfectly,  the purpose of the Move page wasn't completely obvious to a dolt as myself.   ''[[84 Charing Cross Road (book)]]'' and ''[[84 Charing Cross Road (film)]]''  now have separate pages, unfortunately they BOTH still need extensive expansion.  I picked if off the To Do list for the film project, I am not up to inventing work for myself.  I am using the housekeeping lists to practice small wikitasks.   [[User:EraserGirl|EraserGirl]] ([[User talk:EraserGirl|talk]]) 17:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

:::They are not equally weighted, the original source material takes precedence, but of the four adaptations, only the book and film are generally known.  So, your fix is perfectly reasonable.

==Hello==

Just dropping by (no need to respond!) to say how much I agree with your posts on [[WP:AN/I]]; especially your response [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=193158536 here] (I thought exactly the same thing, but couldn't be bothered to reply - when I next checked, you had written what I thought). I'm afraid that you and I are clearly in the minority, and I also think its unfortunate that we run the risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The two cases, whilst superficially similar, also have some considerable differences; stir in the harassment directed at [[User:Rockpocket|Rockpocket]] and the general war-weariness, and we have an example of 'hard cases make bad law'. Yours, etc.--[[User:Major Bonkers|Major Bonkers]] <small>[[User_talk:Major Bonkers|(talk)]]</small> 15:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
:My twopence worth is this. I believe vk and Sussexman each caused at least one person to leave the project. And that each has been guilty of abusive sockpuppetry. Both have attacked areas of interest to the other in a tit-for-tat manner. Both have been disruptive in Irish articles. And Vk has been guilty of stalking, swearing, threats, drunkeness and incivility. Vk is still being provocative to Lauder on WikipediaReview. Lauder is still in denial about checkuser and has attacked neutral unbiased admins. Vk has made valuable contributions to boxing. Lauder has made valuable contributions to historical articles.

I concur with Alison. One thing that strikes me is that many users do not violate policies, even though they encounter problematic situations (I commend my fellow admins for their behaviour re. this whole affair), or make the odd mistake, but clearly learn very quickly and move on, with no real harm done. They can have differences, but resolve them through reasonable discussion. Those that do not do so, absorb a huge amount of time and energy of other editors and admins.

==Art manifestos 1 ==

Hi there Tyrenius, I have added an entry to the art manifestos page but somebody keeps deleting it. I have seen your comments on the talk page about being comprehensive and notability etc. and you seem to take a fair and balanced view about things, therefore I'm asking your opinion regarding this matter. The manifesto in question has been widely circulated (physically) at private views and art colleges in the London area and has quite a few people in strong agreement with its aims. To deny the wider public access to this kind of information seems without foundation, as it is just as valid and probably more widely known than some other manifestos on the list at the moment. The user who insists upon deleting it cites the fact that newer art movements rarely have notability, which feels to me like a pre-judgement of the situation in hand, especially when the said user resides in Canada and is therefore removed from the physical reality of the current underground art scene in London. I hope the standard for inclusion on wikipedia is not being based on the amount of google results a particular subject has, as that would seem to be a sad day for the free and accurate flow of infomation. This was my first entry on wikipedia, but my experience so far feels like I've come up against a wall of zealotry and censorship. Anyway, I've offred him a compromise now, so we'll see what happens, but if you could still let me know what you think about this issue then I'd much appreciate it. Cheers.--[[User:S7740|S7740]] ([[User talk:S7740|talk]]) 19:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

:Ok then, I accept your point, but are you therefore going to retrospectively apply the same criteria to all of the other manifestos listed in the article? Otherwise it would seem unfair that some continue to be listed with no verifiable source, while the one I submitted was rejected for the very same reason. If you are now enforcing this policy as standard procedure then I respectfully suggest that it should apply to all of manifestos equally, for it would seem illogical to include some as acceptable and others not based purely upon the date of their inclusion in the article. 
:Best wishes. --[[User:S7740|S7740]] ([[User talk:S7740|talk]]) 21:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

== Art manifestos 2 ==

Ok, well I would suggest that as none of the manifestos in the article section 'list of manifestos published on the internet' are currently referenced then they should all be removed at once. I am willing to do this if nobody else has the time or the inclination. Personally I would have rather they stayed, and more added over time, so that people who are interested in such things could easily find them all in one place, as you also mentioned some time ago on the discussion page. But I also feel strongly that if a rule is going to be enforced then it has to be applied equally to all, and with no exceptions. Otherwise certain movements might feel marginalised or discriminated against by a perceived arbitrary selection process. Please let me know if you have any objection to the immediate removal of these manifestos, because I would prefer that it happened as soon as possible, in order that no questions of bias should arise.      Thank you. --[[User:S7740|S7740]] ([[User talk:S7740|talk]]) 10:07, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
:That sounds like [[WP:POINT]] but plus points for asking first. [[User:Kittybrewster|Kittybrewster ]] [[User_talk:Kittybrewster|<font color="0000FF">&#9742;</font>]] 11:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

::Hi there, I have already looked into the manifestos listed under the 'published on the internet' section and they all have no independent third party references in existence as far as I can determine. My entry was deleted for the same reason, therefore in the spirit of equality I again respectfully suggest that they be removed under the policy of verifiability that you say you wish to see enforced. As I said to Kittybrewster,  there should be consistency in the application of policy, so that it doesn't appear that favouritism based on particular political or aesthetic considerations might be an issue here. The justification of the continued allowance of inclusion of information in an article based purely upon the fact that it already exists there, even though it is blatantly in contravention of judgements being made against other equally valid sources of information seems like an absurd injustice, and one that is simple to remedy. Rules should apply to everybody equally, or not at all. That is the point I'm making here, not some meaningless attempt at retribution as alluded to by the term 'pointy'. 
::It would seem that some of the community here are fond of quoting  rules, protocol, precedent etc. but are somehow reluctant to abide by the very same conditions they expect others to operate under. Fairness has to be seen to operate within this system, otherwise the rules themselves have no credibility, and will become known as merely being a tool used to suit the agendas of particular individuals or groups. 
::As for you previous mention of a 'holding tactic', this could be interpreted as motivated by protectionism, i.e.; 'this is MY article and I like it just the way it is thank you'. I'm not saying that's the case here, but I think you'd agree that it's an unpleasant scenario that we would all prefer to avoid.  
::Anyway, considering that the entry on Neo-Externalism was 'removed while under discussion' and until sources can be found, then it is only right that the same should happen with the other manifestos I have mentioned, unless of course you know of verifiable sources for them. Keeping in mind the impossibility of proving a negative, I put it to you that it is not enough to shift the burden of proof onto the person who questions the verifiability of material, but instead it should be the responsibility of those who wish to see the continued inclusion of material in an article to provide evidence as to why it should be there. As you have repeatedly shown through your actions and comments regarding the Neo-Externalist Manifesto. Thanks for your time.   --[[User:S7740|S7740]] ([[User talk:S7740|talk]]) 10:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

==Image deletion==
I have tried to find the answer to this, but I am only getting more confused.  How do I tag an image that I uploaded so that it will get deleted.

I have since uploaded corrected versions, but I still need to delete the irrelevant ones.

== [[Art manifesto]]s 3==

Hi there, I'd first of all like to clarify that I was using the example of the Neo-Externalist Manifesto to highlight the inconsistencies in the application of Wikipedia guidelines to this article, and not as a determining factor in the subject under discussion based on a comparison of each various movements perceived popularity as measured by Google results. On the contrary, I have already previously accepted the fact that it does not presently meet the criteria of verifiability as required by Wikipedia, and am not arguing for its inclusion at this time. I first included it to the article in accordance with your own comments regarding notability etc. on the talk page, but since you informed me that the standards have now changed I have not requested it be put back into the article, but merely ask that all of the other material there be subject to those same standards, as is perfectly reasonable and fair. So I would hope that we can now move on from that issue, and concentrate instead on the other manifestos in the list. Some of the references you have provided in your reply seem entirely spurious, regarding Thinkism for example...reference 2 doesn't mention the Thinkist Manifesto at all, reference 3 is a thesis, (original research) therefore not acceptable on Wikipedia, reference 4 does seem initially acceptable, reference 5 mentions Thinkism but not the manifesto, and references 6 and 7 are just external links to the homepage of the movement, therefore meaningless in this context. I would respectfully suggest that a much higher standard of research than this needs to be applied to the information included in this article, using properly verifiable independent third party sources as its basis for inclusion instead of just a random collection of  search engine results. Wikipedia policy itself states that unreferenced material should be removed until sources can be found for it, so I therefore propose that at the very least that a template be clearly applied to the 'internet manifesto' section unequivocally stating that the information contained therein is currently not verified and needs to be cleaned up by the community. In this way other people can become involved in the process to remedy this situation and consensus built. Also a time limit should be set for this process, in order that the unverified material does not remain there any longer than is absolutely necessary. If you are unwilling to agree to this, then I again respectfully request that the information in question is removed at once until verifiable sources are shown to exist. Thank you. Thank you--[[User:S7740|S7740]] ([[User talk:S7740|talk]]) 10:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

== Sources for proving notability. ==

When you are attempting to prove, or are simply trying to investigate, whether an artist, artistic movement, or other art-related topic is notable, what are some of the sources you check?  I ask because of the AfD currently underway on [[Massurrealism]], and I want to see if any reputable sources in the art world have covered this so-called "movement."

Ty, I am being [[WP:HARASS|harrassed]] by [[User:Traditional unionist|Traditional unionist]] on my talkpage.

== Your suggestion for Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Weareallone ==

I would request checkuser, if [[WP:RCU]] didn't explicitly list it under "unacceptable requests". Besides, I now suspect that [[User:Weareallone]] and [[User:Papillonbleu]] are posting under different IPs, so it could likely accomplish is to identify one of those accounts with Bellinghaus' earlier IP, which probably won't change anything. The policy says that meatpuppets are considered the same as sockpuppets, but two business partners colluding is clearly harder to identify than a prepubescent vandal logging on with two accounts. It's unfortunate, because starting that case has done nothing but make me look bad and achieved nothing in terms of identifying AfD voting irregularities. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi, Ty!

I am about to leave Wikipedia for the second time and now definitely. The reason is [[User: Modernist]], the rest you can find on the [[Neo-Impressionism]] talk page. I really have other things to do than to discuss quisquilia with lunatics and their fixed opinions more or less free of actual research, who nevertheless pretend to know everything and to know everything better, and behave as if they to own certain WP-pages. It took a while, but finally I understood there are no means to stop this. I have other business that urgently needs my attention, I have enjoyed to distract myself contributing to WP, and I am grateful to have been in touch with you for a while: You're one of the few I'd like to know personally. THank you.

::I have been patient and I have tried to basically stay away from this user, however out of the blue he sent me a message on my talk page - March 17 about an edit that I made in January which was in essence a save of a very serious problem that he created at [[Neo-Impressionism]].

Not 3 minutes went by, and I still have the page open in edit, when someone slapped a Afd on it - and I wasn't even finished the article.

Thanks for the tip on the Van Gogh section. Perhaps it would be an idea to split the existing "Legacy" section into multiple sections, such as say "Subsequent Fame" "Influence on art" and "Cultural Depictions" with the first linking to the separate "Posthumous Fame" article and the 3rd linking to the "Cultural depictions".

I spent many hours formatting the [[Yakima Canutt filmography]] article and create it quite properly.  And of course within moments some keyboard happy nimrod wants it deleted.  I have visited at least 20 filmography pages, there isn't anything wrong with the one I created. I really despise this speedy deletion by just anyone who wants to mess with your work.

== Someone copying my userpage ==

Hi, I was browsing through some archives and found you posted here: [[Wikipedia_talk:User_page/Archive_4#Copying_someone_elses_userpage]]. I have a similar issue - {{user|Destry11}} has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Destry11&diff=204333528&oldid=204333175 copied my user page], with my username as the only change. I have the same reaction to this as {{User|TJ Spyke}} did in the original thread that I linked you to, specifically that I feel as if this person is purposely 'impersonating' me by listing all of my achievements on their page, etc. It just makes me feel a bit strange, I guess. I posted a polite message on the person's talk page asking why they copied my user page, word for word, and they just removed my message and replied on my talk page asking me not to 'violate' their talk page and if I do so again, they [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gary_King&diff=204640662&oldid=204458737 threatened to 'block' me].

I think you pulled the plug too early on [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shalini Ganendra]].

:That's my point. Usually, when there's no clear consensus on an AfD, the discussion is relisted ''once.'' There's even a template  — {{tl|relist}} — to indicate a relisting. If there's stll no consensus after the relisting, ''then'' it is closed with an outcome of "no consensus." This discusion had not been relisted yet, so by custom it should have been relisted once to give it another shot. - [[User:Realkyhick|Realkyhick]] <small>([[User talk:Realkyhick|Talk to me]])</small> 02:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== Abstract Expressionism ==

Hi Tyrenius,

Please note that our site does not fit into point 5.

Our site has taken on board a new policy of becoming an informational hub for the art world. The article that we created on abstract expressionism is a great summary on the movement. It is one of the first in a series of articles that we will be releasing on art movements.

You'll notice that the article does not contain any advertising.

Please re-consider our link. I believe that it adds value to the Wikipedia page on abstract expressionism. If you would like to see the article modified in any way (or the page modified), please let me know and we will arrange it.

Thanks for noticing the signature. I read through [[WP:DTR]] and then [[WP:TTR]]. Seems to be a lively discussion. I think there's occasions where templates work and not, it's probably much too for either to become guidelines and/or policies. But regular or not, no one remembers everything. No one follows all the rules all the time.  To me a template is a precisely worded way of pointing out guidelines/policies that may have been or at least appear to have been violated.  I'd feel like a frustrated whiny brat writing a specific reason when a template would suffice.  Plus, someone went through all the work of designing templates (with different levels too).  I'm sure their efforts would be better suited, while somewhat impersonal, for some users.  Eventually if a problem exists, and I'm the first to come accross it, I would be willing to make a template for someone else to use should the same problem come up again.--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #003399;padding:1px;">[[User:Wiki11790|<span style="color:#003399">&nbsp;'''Wiki11790'''&nbsp;</span>]][[User talk:Wiki11790|<font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#990000;">&nbsp;talk&nbsp;</font>]]</span></sub> 01:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Unrelated issue of Internal Links ==

When editing a biography, do you think it's necessary to link the schools that a person has graduated from?
Is it needed if the person is notable for something entirely unrelated to their education?
Is it important to link all schools if the person receives a degree from an undergraduate and a graduate institution, but all of their research/work is done at the graduate school? or some other institution afterwards.
I've been looking at a number of biographies where undergraduate institutions are mentioned once, linked, and are seemingly irrelevant to the rest of the article.  I feel as though it is often unnecessary, and places undue weight on the schools they may have attended.  But it seems to be commonly practiced.--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #003399;padding:1px;">[[User:Wiki11790|<span style="color:#003399">&nbsp;'''Wiki11790'''&nbsp;</span>]][[User talk:Wiki11790|<font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#990000;">&nbsp;talk&nbsp;</font>]]</span></sub> 01:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Template:Infobox Artist ==

Hi Ty. There are two ways you can go:
*If you want to leave the parameter name as "Works", then yes, you will need to go around and change "Famous works =" to "Works =" in all the articles which transclude the template. And yes, you're right, that's probably a good job for a bot. In terms of finding a suitable bot to accomplish the task, I'd recommend placing a request at [[Wikipedia:Bot requests]].
*Alternately, you could change the ''parameter name'' back to "Famous works" but leave the ''displayed text'' as just "Works". That's a little less elegant, but I know of several templates where the parameter name and the displayed text don't match. And it would save you having to go around and change "Famous works =" to "Works =" in all the transcluding articles (Of course, if there are some articles which already have "Works =", they would need to be changed to "Famous works =", but my guess is there would be a lot less of them. But you'd probably still need a bot to check them all. However, changing the parameter name will fix a whole lot of articles ''immediately'', so the bot work would be less urgent).
Hope this helps. [[User:DH85868993|DH85868993]] ([[User talk:DH85868993|talk]]) 03:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to gainsay you - [[Wikipedia:Stub]]:

:After writing a short article, or finding an unmarked stub, you should insert a ''stub template''. By  convention this is placed at the end of the article, after the ''External links'' section, any navigation templates, and the category tags, so that the stub category will appear last.

So you moved back all the entire talk page which is over 150 kb. I honestly have no idea why.

I don't see why the move method for archiving is confusing, but I suppose it could be to you somehow. What is really confusing to me is why you have not used it on [[Talk:Vincent van Gogh]], when it could clearly use it.

I do not understand what you mean when you wrote "I don't think you're correct with archive changes not showing up after cut and paste..." What claim did I make about archive changes not showing up after cut and paste?

== Can you check on a page ==
I'm new to Wikipedia, tried it in the past but am sticking to my normal writing. However, Wikipedia is boiling over. There is a page on [[Concept-oriented model]] that is not a real theory. It has not been published in reputable locations, peer reviewed or accepted by any community. In fact, it has been attacked hard (see the discussion about the page in the page's discussion section).
