User talk:Dynaflow/Archive 4
Phoenix FiveThanks for your comments! Yeah, the problem with citing to that section is that none of the 1998 Daily Cal articles are archived and available online (they only have it back to 1999, for some reason). I added a cite to an article that mentioned a couple things in that section though, so hopefully that'll be ok. Go Bears! DEMKID 00:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC) Re: my revert warningjust look at the evidence on hand (the talk page for A Perfect Circle -> Was/Is section), myself and several other people have pointed out to "Alex 101" that he is wrong about this and he still continues to edit the page to state that the band is no longer together. if you look @ the talk section of his userpage you'll see that this is nothing new and he even says that he got banned for several months for his behavior on another talk page/article. i would say he needs another ban, but i don't know how any of that works. all i know is that according to the most recent sourceable info, he is wrong, is editing a wikipedia article to reflect misinformation, and is now threatening to get me banned for trying to correct this. i've tried to clear this up in the talk page and he is being obstinant and refusing to listen to reason. so i guess now i'm just supposed to let the article remain inaccurate and completely wrong. or else i'll jget banned for trying to update it with correct information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.252.94.153 (talk • contribs)
UCR Mascot pageMascot of UC Riverside looks like an unswept up sock of Summer thunder was able to slip this under the radar. I think this set off the Betacommandbot. Ameriquedialectics 02:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey, great userbox! I thought you might be interested in this edit I just removed: [1] (not sure what sock was used to insert this, though...) Ameriquedialectics 23:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Found him: his only edit[2] Ameriquedialectics 23:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I saw that you carried out the deletion of the above page, and I was wondering if you could also issue a block against Pntnes (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), the SummerThunder sock that put it up. The case is too stale for WP:SSP, but it would be good to zap his sleeper accounts whenever we find them, in case he plans on reactivating them to edit protected articles in the future. Thanks. --Dynaflow babble 02:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Done and done. Thanks for the link, I'll keep an eye out in the future. Tijuana Brass 04:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC) A murder at a collegeHowdy. I noticed you were involved in the discussion on whether the Virginia Tech shootings should be mentioned in detail on the VT page. There is an edit war going on at St. Mark's College (University of Adelaide) where some editors want to include a paragraph about a single, non-notable murder that occurred there 16 years ago. I don't think it merits inclusion. Have a look at the page, the discussion, and please contribute.

Angolan Civil WarHi, I saw you removed the infobox image on Angolan Civil War. While you are correct in that the tank is Croatian, the picture is of combat in the Angolan Civil War. Cuba bought many tanks from Eastern Europe which it used in the 70s and 80s when it invaded Angola. Would you mind restoring it? If there is any question as to the accuracy of its placement, see the Spanish Wikipedia article - they also use it in the infobox there. Jose João 06:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for my poor english: - The T-55 tank was the last tank model used for Cuba in Angola. BUT the T-55 of the imagen is not cuban, is european. I used that imagen because I couldn't find any more. - The T-72 tank never was used by Cuba in Angola. Anyway. My article about Angola War is very bad and have a big mistake. But I hate the spanish Wikipedia and the spanish burocratas —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.128.161.158 (talk • contribs) (es:Usuario:Zósimo) Thanks for helping me with those! Wow, I didn't realize you're the creator of the UC naviboxes. It's funny because I was just about to take one of my pictures I took at Florida Tech and use it to replace the logo on the navibox last week. (Look @ my talk page for last week's discussion... haha) You'll see me mentioning how Cal's navibox uses buildings. Thanks again for streamlining the Florida Tech article lead. I needed a fresh pair of eyes. I've been having alumni and random people from Georgia Tech review the article... and I have to admit, some of the article's material has NPOV issues. I've been trying to weed that stuff out for a while...while taking on a couple personal detours on side projects. Anyways, thanks again! :D - Jameson L.

The reference I had only referred to those who had been on missions before graduating, thus rendering the statement after female missionaries incorrect. I had to remove it, even though many women do probably go after graduating. Wrad (talk) 23:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC) My first!

Logos for UCLA and USC AthleticsDynaflow, thanks for uploading the pictures to replace the UCLA and USC athletics logos. I read through Wikipedia:Logos more than once in the past few months.

Oh, and there were no admins watching AIV for almost an hour. szyslak 12:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Just remember to only use it in clear cases of vandalism or as part of a community consensus thing, not content disputes or places where an UNDO summary would be better. Happy editing. MBisanz talk 05:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Your recent rollbacksWell, congratulations on your rollback status. I seem to be the first editor you are trying your new found tool on. I read your remarks on my talk page and have asked for some consensus from the Law Enforcement Project. However, I was slightly distressed to discover that you have rolled back many of my page changes prior to any actual discussion. I would have preferred you waited until this could have been agreed upon. At this point I am unaware of any actual violations of any policy, so it is just two opinions. Mine is certainly open for change. You stated that the actual name of the department should be used. I agree with you. However, in regard to the San Francisco Sheriff's Department, what is the actual name? I have seen it listed variously as:
The official website uses the headings CCSF Sheriff's Department I work for the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office in New York State. My Office is referred to variously as:
I added considerable content to various lists and was finding links directed to the incorrect state. I began to list them including the state name for clarity. While I can agree that the San Francisco Sheriff's Department is not going to be confused with another organization, it was changed in a effort to provide consistency and the redirect page should have sufficed for anyone hitting the older title. You also mention that the strict use of grammar would seem to prohibit the title as I change it. Perhaps, but it is not unheard of to refer to other departments in this fashion. Please let me know if you have any other input on the naming of law enforcement agancy pages, as this is "my thing" and I rarely venture off the reservation. I would like to use one style of naming the departments. Some of the options I have come up with include:
I am not sure what the other members of the Law Enforcement Project will say, but I will wait for some kind of consensus before renaming any additional pages. I would appreciate you leaving these pages alone until others have joined the discussion. It also appears that the use of rollbacks for content disputes is discouraged and should be used only in relation to vandalism or a consensus. SGT141 (talk) 22:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

What seems to be the cases with "incorrect" removals are where regular pages link to categories. The bot considers inter-namespace links to be incorrect, though some wikis are now doing redirects of pages to categories. Most of the problems that I saw are with the "List of ...." type of pages, that are redirected to the corresponding categories instead. I need to contact the interwiki operator community to see if/how I can remove links to non-existent pages only. I didn't see a config flag for this. Upon further investigation, it seems that the bot considers anything with ":" in the name to be a different namespace as well, so some links to regular pages are being removed as well. In the mean time, I'll just turn off the remove option completely while running the bot. -- Vina (talk) 04:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC) thanksThanks for the nice welcome! 70.133.76.83 (talk) 22:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the comment on my talk page and thanks for the guidance on what Wikipedia views as libelous. UC template image, UCSC, etcI understand. The problem with the map was that the writing was illegible at that resolution and the image itself drab. Sather Gate was built when Cal was the only UC and using the "Fiat Lux" star detail, rather than the gate itself, de-contextualizes the symbol from its setting in a way that effectively conveys the idea of the whole university, I think. Any photograph we use is necessarily going to be situated on one of the campuses, unless we want to use the UC president's office pic, which is ghastly; I would rather the image be of an all-encompassing symbol, wherever it's located, than something that attempts to legibly represent all the campuses within thumbnail dimensions. The "Fiat Lux" star is on all the seals... I don't immediately know of a better concrete representation of the whole university than that, and I say this with no special affinity for or affiliation with the Berkeley campus itself. My solution may give an implicit nod to Berkeley, but they are the founding campus of the system anyway. If you want, make a proposal at WP:UC. I'll go with whatever recommendation they suggest. Anyway, there is a ton of on-line accessible material on UCSC... work on it on my part hasn't been proceeding quickly, because there is a lot to digest. The campus officials definitely had a sense of destiny about them, recording oral histories and such, while their history was still in progress. (Such a contrast, really, from UCR. Did you know UCR doesn't have the papers of its founding provost archived? It's like neither he nor they wanted to leave any evidence of a crime behind.) But this only means that there is more to go through and make sense of, and I have no special familiarity with the campus, (outside of a brief trip I took there a few years ago) alas.

Spammed article for your watchlistNoting your interest in keeping Canterbury University of the Seychelles on the straight & narrow, might I invite you to add Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument to it as well.

Unaccredited followupI stumbled across the unaccredited school situation and added a relevant category to some pages which mentioned lack of accreditation. As you seem to have an interest, feel free to browse my Contributions for school articles which need more work. I did notice an unaccredited Christian category exists, but I was only adding the more general category so some which I tagged might be better served with the more specific cat. -- SEWilco (talk) 06:06, 25 May 2008 (UTC) Your recently useless editPlease note that there is a less than 0.01% chance that any messages left on the talk page for 204.100.184.23 will reach the intended target.
