You're right, that edit does seem to make sense. Leaving it out until we find some references seems like the best idea for this situation. Thanks for notifying me. — [[User:BassGuitarist182|BassGuitarist182]] ([[User talk:BassGuitarist182|talk]]) 22:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC) |

Yes, you're right about grunge being the dominant nature and I must've missed that part of his rv. But could you please change back the line breaks to commas? The current consensus is for commas in short lists in infoboxes and Nirvana has always had commas in its infobox.

why do you keep deleting my changes to the establishment of ucla? i have researched the topic at great length and it seems pretty clear that 1881, is the correct date, given that the state normal school was changed to the southern branch of the UC. please compare this history of Ariz State, SDSU, SJSU, SFSU and chico state, and you will see they are all former normal schools and trace their establishment to the creation of the normal school. same thing should be true with ucla. also, take a look at the history of the outlook, the forerunner of the daily bruin; and the history of the ucla's graduate school of education - both trace their roots to the los angeles state normal school |

Because grunge is a subgenre of alternative rock. [[User:WesleyDodds|WesleyDodds]] ([[User talk:WesleyDodds|talk]]) 05:54, 31 July 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Rock is not necessary. Punk, alternative, and heavy metal are really big rock subgenres, so editors have typically listed the overrarching subgenre in addition to the more specific ones without listing rock. And while if you want to get specific you'd definitely tell the average person that Nirvana is a grunge band, more importantly they are one of the major artists in the alternative rock genre, and its best-known and influential. Further, Nirvana were a rather atypical grunge band; by the time of ''Nevermind'' they were trying to avoid the Sub Pop sound (which they went full-on for on ''Bleach'') and drew influence from more straight ahead alt-rock bands like R.E.M., the Pixies, and Dinosaur Jr. [[User:WesleyDodds|WesleyDodds]] ([[User talk:WesleyDodds|talk]]) 06:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::Fun fact: if you read articles about Nirvana's breakthrough success around late 1991/early 1992, they talk about the group's impact in regards to alternative rock as a whole. It's once Pearl Jam and the rest start selling later in 1992 that the coverage narrows to the Seattle grunge scene, since it was seen as "the next big thing".

:I understand that the state normal school was established in 1881, but UCLA, in its present form, was not established as part of the University of California until 1919. This date is the most accurate "establishment date." I'm not denying the fact that UCLA's origins can be traced back to its roots as a normal school, but to say that UCLA existed before 1919 is not only misleading, but also patently incorrect. The origins of UCLA, as a normal school, are still in the text of the article, but the date in the infobox is the year that the normal school became a part of the University of California. This is the date that UCLA <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.uclahistoryproject.ucla.edu/Timeline/Home.asp recognize]</span> and it is also the date that students, alumni, faculty, and staff are familiar with. —'''[[User:Littlealien182|<font color="black" size="+1">''Ł''</font><font color="blue">ittle</font>]][[User talk:Littlealien182|<font color="black" size="+1">''Ä''</font><font color="blue">lien</font>]][[B182|<font color="Black">¹<sup>8</sup>²</font>]]''' 03:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC) |

::1919 is the earliest year that can be placed with the Fiat Lux seal of the University of California for UCLA. A school was established in 1881. The school became a branch of UC Berkeley in 1919. The current name was adopted in 1927. It moved campuses in 1929. This discussion should be carried on at the UCLA talk page.

My name is Brian Gray, I am the webmaster for the Official Green Day Fan Site at www.GreenDay dot net (apparently the URL is blacklisted.) |
|||
== Blink 182 == |
|||
I have run the site for the band for almost 10 years, and they constantly keep in communication with updates, journals, and family pictures.. I had posted a link to our site on EXTERNAL LINKS in the past, but some jokesters repeatedly took it down saying "no fan sites." |
|||
Personally I don't really see any reason to remove a summary table. It doesn't take up too much space and is quite handy as a direct reference point for band members rather than having to read through all the text. If you feel it is superfluous however, feel free to remove it, I won't revert. [[User:Nouse4aname|Nouse4aname]] ([[User talk:Nouse4aname|talk]]) 19:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC) |

:Hi Brian, I'm sorry that you're experiencing so much frustration. From what I know, it is acceptable under [[WP:MUSTARD#External links|wikipedia policy]] to add official fan sites to a band's article. Here are a few things that you can do to ensure that your edits are not removed. |
|||
:# Add an edit summary with a link to the [[WP:MUSTARD]] page. Specifically, to the [[WP:MUSTARD#External links|external links]] section. |
|||
:# Discuss the nature of your changes and the reasons for them on the article talk page. This will give you a reference point to refer to in the event that people revert your edits. |
|||
:# Create a user account and make all of your edits from this account. This will help you establish credibility and will prevent your edits from showing up on the warning page of external editing programs. Other editors may think your edits are [[WP:SPAM|spam]], since they are coming from an unregistered source. Creating an account, however, is not necessary, but only a recommendation in order to avoid reverts that are caused by a misunderstanding of the nature of your edits. |
|||
:# Also, sign your comments with "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" so that people know who you are and the exact time of your post. It helps other users understand the chronological sequence of a conversation or argument. This is especially useful for conversations that take place between multiple user's talk pages. |
|||

I won't argue I was a bit testy with you; my apologies. It wasn't the best choice of words. IMO, "uncited" leaves a lot of open ground. So does "aggressively removed". (Compare the linked versions of custom car.) On "reply, btw, not my original post", I invite clarification of how it matters. It's that point precisely I don't get: is deletion of uncited in bounds, or not? It appears to depend on who's deleting. As for deleting criticism, we can disagree if you like; it's read & responded to, so I don't see a particular need to archive it. And I don't expect '''too''' many visitors to your talk to care.

Can I ask what the purpose of {{tl|Pi Kapp Stats}} is? It seems like it is unnecessary since all it is is the stats that you can just manually put into the infobox. In fact, it makes the infobox more cluttered by putting the template in there instead of the numbers. On top of that, someone who is unfamiliar with templates on Wikipedia will not know what is going on if they go in there to update the data in the infobox. What, do you believe, is the need for this template? Thanks, [[User:Either way|either way]] ([[User talk:Either way#top|talk]]) 23:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC) |

:I wrote an explanation as to why I felt it was necessary to substitute these values with a template on the template's page. But, to put it briefly, I did it because these values are listed multiple times within the article and change rather frequently. The template allows a user to update these statics on one page so that they always remain unified and consistent. Also, I plan on incorporating this template into the [[List of Pi Kappa Phi chapters]], [[List of Pi Kappa Phi alumni]], and other Pi Kappa Phi fraternity related articles (and future articles that I plan on writing). This template will allow all of the figures in these articles to remain consistent and, conveniently, will make it much easier to update them. —'''[[User:Littlealien182|<font color="black" size="+1">''Ł''</font><font color="blue">ittle</font>]][[User talk:Littlealien182|<font color="black" size="+1">''Ä''</font><font color="blue">lien</font><font color="Black">¹<sup>8</sup>²</font>]]''' 02:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC) |

You recently removed some references from the NFG article. I added the references several days ago, but another user than vandalised the page in order to use the references to backup a differing viewpoint (which the references did not support).

Re: [[User_talk:Pedro#Rollback_question]], I've had rollback for several months but I rarely use it - I've used it on less than a handful of days I think. It has the major downside of not allowing customized edit summaries. I've found I use it in two occasions: When a vandal has multiple consecutive edits and it's clear no edit summary is needed, or when a vandal, usually an IP vandal, is reverting my reverts, and I need the speed advantage rollback has. Ironically, I needed to do this last night, which was the first time I'd used rollback in awhile. Personally, I prefer to either use undo or find the last good version and edit-and-save it by hand, with a descriptive edit summary. This also has the advantage of forcing me to be deliberate in my edits.

Hi. I'm going to have to disagree strongly with [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_California,_Los_Angeles&diff=prev&oldid=258941313 this reversion] and and the associated {{tl|uw-vand1}} warning you gave to the anonymous editor who made the edit you reverted. Not only is that edit not the kind of vandalism for which one would use Twinkle's "rollback (VANDAL)" button, but seems to be, in fact, a helpful elaboration of the rather vague phrase "popular images of the Southern California lifestyle." The IP editor seems to have immediately re-added what your reversion struck, hopefully blaming technical difficulties and not realizing that his or her contribution had been labeled vandalism and summarily redacted. It would be tragic to scare away a helpful contributor on his or her first edit. I have replaced your warning on the IP's Talk page with a welcome template. If you still think this is a case of vandalism and you're seeing something in this that I'm not, please let me know your reasoning. Thanks.

As near as I can tell, that particular part of the MOS is currently still under debate. However, I did also reformat the dates, as they were incorrect (ie. June 9th instead of June 9).

:This very same edit has been made to the UCLA page in the past from a different IP (but likely the same editor). You're right in one sense: perhaps my level of warning was too strong. But the edit, in no way, is constructive. Adding "emphasizing freedom in a land of perpetual sunshine" is a great way to make make an already-vague-statement even more vague. It has been <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_California%2C_Los_Angeles&diff=254814583&oldid=254814092 reverted]</span> in the past and the repetitive nature of this edit is what led me to constitute it as vandalism.

I noticed you combined the two references --for the 140 million records sales claim-- into one footnote. Would you object to separating them back into two, individual references?

It’s as one would expect to see in a book (have you ever seen a book with multiple footnotes?), it looks better, all the info is there (indeed some browsers will highlight it in the reference column), and it *does* allow both references to be used individually. As for making it seem more plausible, it *might* boost the *appearance* of credibility for readers who judge credibility by the number of footnotes appearing in text. However, I think this is a fairly marginal benefit – if a benefit of all – the best way to check credibility is for people to check the sources themselves. |
|||
:In actual fact, in an ideal situation we wouldn’t need to have any cites in the lead, as a lead is merely meant to represent in summary what is in the body. Perhaps we thus need to weave that info – and it’s references – into the main body. Then we could consider removing the cites from the lead altogether. regards --[[User:Merbabu|Merbabu]] ([[User talk:Merbabu|talk]]) 22:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC) |

::Ok, that sounds good to me. I was just wondering if you had a specific reason for combining the two references. For future use, how do you use the two individual references later in the article? Do you have to use them separately, so that they appear as a new reference in the ref-list? Or is there a way to re-use the combined reference?

I made that edit after merging Ecclesia (church) into Christian Church. There isn't as much difference between the two terms as you think. You can leave Ecclesia on the disambig page if you wish, but it's just a redirect to Christian Church now. --[[User:JaGa|<b><font color="#990000">Ja</font><font color="#000099">Ga</font></b>]][[User_talk:JaGa|<font color="#000000" size="-1"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 06:47, 22 September 2008 (UTC) |

Actually I added that link to the dab page because I needed it to disambiguate a link using [[WP:AWB|AWB]].

== Re: A small favor == |

:You can add links to AWB manually, even if they don't appear on the actual disambiguation page. Also, I don't agree with your rationale for adding the link. There are 1,000s of links to the Church disambiguation page, and just because one user made an incorrect link, that doesn't justify you adding it the page. If you find that this is a recurring mistake, then you may have more of a case. But if we use your rationale, all of the commonly linked disambiguation pages would be filled with countless articles. — [[User:Littlealien182|<font size="+1">''Ł''</font>ittle<font size="+1">''Ä''</font>lien¹<sup>8</sup>²]] (<sub>[[User talk:Littlealien182|talk]]</sub>\<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Littlealien182|contribs]]</sup>) 09:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC) |

::Fair enough. On another note, do you think you could take a look at [[Church body]]? The definition listed on the dab page would fit nicely with several of the articles I've been trying to fix, but an editor moved it to [[Local church]] and substantially changed the meaning to my own perception. The editor also did a [[WP:cut and paste move|cut and paste move]] somewhere in the middle of it which I have marked for repair. The hybrid article as it stands gave me a headache trying to figure out whether to split it back up or what to do with it.

With newer information, the best approach is to wait a bit and see how it fits into the bigger picture so we can work it into the article most effectively. Once the tour's finished, we can probably say something about it, but it's not necessary for the moment; bands tour all the time. In band articles, there's always a problem with people adding new news but focusing too much on it in comparison to the rest of the article.

==re: Certifications and sales (and the "difference" between the two)== |

|||
I understand the difference between the two. I would disagree however that a certification is a "low-ball" estimate, in fact I believe certifications to be an inflation by record labels of what is ''really'' sold. Moreover, record labels have to apply for certification (at least they do with the RIAA), so ultimately there are many albums out there which may have sold millions but have never been certified. The figures in that discography then are an estimate that some editor made by "adding up" a bunch of certifications already listed, correct? How accurate is that? - [[User:Ericorbit|eo]] ([[User talk:Ericorbit|talk]]) 20:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== Nomination for deletion of Template:Pi Kappa Phi == |
|||
:I don't have a problem with the RIAA process and I don't have an opinion on it at all, really. The problem I do have is when sales figures are placed into an article and there is no real way to verify them. I brought up the RIAA process because it looks to me as if the sales figures in this article were somehow derived from the certifications that are listed. A more accurate source for sales figures (at least in certain countries) is Nielsen Soundscan, although this only goes back to the 1990s. Basically, in my opinion, listing an album's (or single's) certification is just fine; nothing wrong with it at all... it gives the reader a general idea of how successful a release was (i.e. 5x platinum as opposed to gold) and certs are easily sourced and there are websites with databases full of the information. However, when specific numbers are thrown into a discography page I believe things get messy and extremely questionable. - [[User:Ericorbit|eo]] ([[User talk:Ericorbit|talk]]) 21:09, 12 November 2008 (UTC) |

::Ahh ok you responded again while I was responding so I'll just scrub what I was gonna say and say thanks for the removal.

- 1919 is the earliest year that can be placed with the Fiat Lux seal of the University of California for UCLA. A school was established in 1881. The school became a branch of UC Berkeley in 1919. The current name was adopted in 1927. It moved campuses in 1929. This discussion should be carried on at the UCLA talk page. Group29 (talk) 14:28, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Pi Kapp Stats
[edit]Can I ask what the purpose of {{Pi Kapp Stats}} is? It seems like it is unnecessary since all it is is the stats that you can just manually put into the infobox. In fact, it makes the infobox more cluttered by putting the template in there instead of the numbers. On top of that, someone who is unfamiliar with templates on Wikipedia will not know what is going on if they go in there to update the data in the infobox. What, do you believe, is the need for this template? Thanks, either way (talk) 23:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- I wrote an explanation as to why I felt it was necessary to substitute these values with a template on the template's page. But, to put it briefly, I did it because these values are listed multiple times within the article and change rather frequently. The template allows a user to update these statics on one page so that they always remain unified and consistent. Also, I plan on incorporating this template into the List of Pi Kappa Phi chapters, List of Pi Kappa Phi alumni, and other Pi Kappa Phi fraternity related articles (and future articles that I plan on writing). This template will allow all of the figures in these articles to remain consistent and, conveniently, will make it much easier to update them. —ŁittleÄlien¹8² 02:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Rollback is no big deal unless you need speed
[edit]Re: User_talk:Pedro#Rollback_question, I've had rollback for several months but I rarely use it - I've used it on less than a handful of days I think. It has the major downside of not allowing customized edit summaries. I've found I use it in two occasions: When a vandal has multiple consecutive edits and it's clear no edit summary is needed, or when a vandal, usually an IP vandal, is reverting my reverts, and I need the speed advantage rollback has. Ironically, I needed to do this last night, which was the first time I'd used rollback in awhile. Personally, I prefer to either use undo or find the last good version and edit-and-save it by hand, with a descriptive edit summary. This also has the advantage of forcing me to be deliberate in my edits. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I'm going to have to disagree strongly with this reversion and and the associated {{uw-vand1}} warning you gave to the anonymous editor who made the edit you reverted. Not only is that edit not the kind of vandalism for which one would use Twinkle's "rollback (VANDAL)" button, but seems to be, in fact, a helpful elaboration of the rather vague phrase "popular images of the Southern California lifestyle." The IP editor seems to have immediately re-added what your reversion struck, hopefully blaming technical difficulties and not realizing that his or her contribution had been labeled vandalism and summarily redacted. It would be tragic to scare away a helpful contributor on his or her first edit. I have replaced your warning on the IP's Talk page with a welcome template. If you still think this is a case of vandalism and you're seeing something in this that I'm not, please let me know your reasoning. Thanks. --Dynaflow babble 08:50, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- This very same edit has been made to the UCLA page in the past from a different IP (but likely the same editor). You're right in one sense: perhaps my level of warning was too strong. But the edit, in no way, is constructive. Adding "emphasizing freedom in a land of perpetual sunshine" is a great way to make make an already-vague-statement even more vague. It has been reverted in the past and the repetitive nature of this edit is what led me to constitute it as vandalism. Perhaps I was too harsh, but the edit should not remain on the page. The original clause should be removed or followed by a more substantive description. Sorry for the misunderstanding. —ŁittleÄlien¹8² 09:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Phi Kap Members category
[edit]I'm almost finished breaking down Category:Lists of chapters or members of United States student societies into the three types of pages listed there, a) Category:Lists of chapters of United States student societies by college , b) Category:Lists of chapters of United States student societies by society and c) Category:Lists of members of United States student societies .
In the process, I have recatted 98 pages, and the only one left in the original category is the Phi Kappa Alumni sandbox page that you have. I don't alter things in other people's sandboxes, so could you please change the category on your sandbox page to Category:Lists of members of United States student societies so that I can propose the original category for deletion? I've already changed the Phi Kap pages that were in the mainspace. Thank You.Naraht (talk) 17:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Let me know if you need anything else. —ŁittleÄlien¹8² 01:05, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Failed Doppelganger
[edit]Hi, please could you visit User:Jac16888/Sandbox#Failed Doppels. This is a list of failed attempts by users to create doppelganger accounts, and at least one of the pages is yours.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
