User talk:Hayford Peirce/Archive 6
Hi Hayford Peirce, you could have avoided that misunderstanding by reading the page a bit more attentively. I have replied to your comment on the talk page (as did someone else). Here, I'd just like to remind you that your constabulary authority to "play Bad Cop" (as you described it in your comment) is restricted to Citizendium and certainly does not apply to Wikipedia user pages. I invited additions to the list, but I ask you to not to delete content from it without asking me, even if you do not like it because it paints Citizendium in an unflattering light. Of course, your comments are still welcome on the talk page (even if they should be a bit "grouchy" - I don't mind a direct manner of speaking if someone has interesting things to say). Regards, HaeB (talk) 03:00, 15 December 2009 (UTC) Seeing your remark here, I would like to note that the comment signed "HaeB 22 July, 2010" here and the one signed "HaeB 6 June, 2010" here were not made by me, but by an impostor. I do not endorse these personal attacks on you, although I find your frequent use of invectives ("cretins" etc.) not particularly helpful either. Regards, HaeB (talk) 17:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC) Fair use rationale for File:Don Hamilton.jpg Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Don Hamilton.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 12:38, 18 September 2010 (UTC) Merry, merry HolaThanks for the kind words and the shout-out (am I using that term right? I'm so OLD!) The Heinlein bio was something I'd been looking forward to since before there was even any certainty that there'd be one. Patterson's big challenge is going to be that second volume, where he has to confront the less attractive sides of RAH's personality. RLetson (talk) 21:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:05, 20 July 2011 (UTC) About Waldo PeirceBonjour Mr Hayford. Je suis en train de traduire pour WP fr l'article sur Waldo Peirce, et je me demandais si nous pourrions bénéficier sur WP fr aussi de votre autorisation de publier le sublime (c'est mon appréciation personnelle) tableau Silver Slipper. Par ailleurs je me pose à propos de ce tableau quelques questions : quel est le titre exact du tableau ? Quelle est sa date de création exacte ? Est-ce Waldo lui-même (homme barbu, avec gros cigare), que l'on peut voir dans le coin gauche ? Pensez-vous que nous pouvons publier les noms des épouses de Waldo Peirce (celles d'Hemingway sont abondamment citées) ? Enfin (vous savez qu'en France on est assez chatouilleux sur le chapitre des décorations) existe-t-il une référence exacte au sujet de la Croix de Guerre que Waldo Peirce a reçue après Verdun ? En vous priant de m'excuser d'avoir pris la liberté de vous écrire, et en vous remerciant par avance de vos réponses, Arapaima (talk) 11:05, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:Wrecking Crew Back Cover1 -- close-up.jpg Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Wrecking Crew Back Cover1 -- close-up.jpg.

I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Mercer Beasley (tennis), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:04, 12 September 2016 (UTC) ReplyHi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands; if you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. The nominator tagged the article for lack of notability, promotional tone and copyright. I felt that the article failed on the neutrality criterion, so I didn't check the copyright status. I accept that that criterion as stated appears to be incorrect. Nevertheless, I think there may still be an issue because so much of the article consists of attributed quotes of copyright material. As a rule of thumb, not more than ten percent of the article should be copied text. I deleted your article because it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact or non-neutral tone include: by far the best-known American tennis coach of the first half of the 20th century... influential book... almost uniquely successful as a coach.... an achievement that almost certainly has never been matched since... An innovator of many coaching techniques... a very successful line of tennis rackets that were widely sold for nearly three decades...—and so on Problems with copying text without checking mean that as well as importing the tone, you are perpetuating errors such as Thorough his long career. Note that if you want to repeat a ref, you should use <ref name = NAME> reference </ref> at the first occurrence, and <ref name=NAME/> thereafter. If you wish, I can sandbox the deleted text for you to improve, just let me know Jimfbleak (talk) 05:56, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. None of the sources used support notability of the book.

Yes, there are people who think they know THE TRUTH and apparently don't check the existing sources to see what they say. Another case like this was on the whipped cream article, where some people insist that crème chantilly must include sugar and vanilla, though there are plenty of sources in the article showing that that's not true. As for the box formatting, apparently someone decided that the cute formatting with the big quotation marks wasn't sober enough. But having no framing at all makes it hard to read the page. --Macrakis (talk) 16:18, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

I changed it from a solid page and a few indexes to a sectioned entry. I don't think I deleted much, but if I did it would be best if you posted it on the new page. I'm in the middle of adding references I also added a section on his drinking and substance abuse and a section on his marriages. I kept some of the praise, but removed the excessive Monroe quote. The introduction was about 15 paragraphs long when I started. Why, may I ask, do you need to remove the section on marriage, most of the section on drinking, and keep the useless subtitle under "recent albums?" I'm working on a re-write with sources. Tell me what was cut from the original that you would like in the final, and I'd be glad to include it. (Ultramontane) Nero WolfeI'm content with your editing of my Wolfe additions of the past few days. One glaring omission from the text is any extended discussion of Wolfe as a gourmand. I hope to post additional material on this topic within the next few days although I don't regard myself as a qualified "foodie." Amelia Earhart articleThis is the current introductory paragraph: "Amelia Mary Earhart (July 24, 1897 – missing as of July 2, 1937) was a noted American aviator who disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean during a circumnavigational flight attempt in 1937. She was an influential early female pilot and the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross." I had submitted the following: "Amelia Mary Earhart' (July 24, 1897 – missing as of July 2, 1937) was a noted American aviator whose aviation career included many milestones. She became the first woman and second pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic, on the fifth anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's Atlantic crossing. She was an influential early female pilot who was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, a women's pilots' organization. Among her many awards and achievements, Earhart was the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross. After setting numerous records, she disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean during a circumnavigational flight attempt in 1937, sparking a near-mythical public fascination with her life, career and ultimate disappearance." Word count: 116 words. It was removed by another editor who indicated: 1. Introductory passage is too long 2. Citing wordy headers in other flawed articles doesn't solve the PoV and clarity issue here at all 3. It's far too long and sounds like a promotional blurb. When you've finished expanding the article body I plan on discussing the cheerleading PoV there too. If we need to start citing WP policy that's ok. Hayford, I value your opinion, what do you think about my edit? FYI the Wikipedia articles on Thomas Jefferson was 250 words, Abraham Lincoln: 147 and the Wright Brothers: 199 words.
