User talk:PhilkonGallery on Phil KonstantinHiya Phil (I assume that you're actually Phil Konstantin), Listen we don't usually put so many pictures onto pages, especially bios. This isn't Facebook or Myspace, you know? You should also be careful because someone will likely come after you wielding our conflict of interest policy and/or Wikipedia:Autobiography. I appreciate your efforts here, and I certainly won't give you grief about trying to improve Phil Konstantin, but it's important to be aware of the above issues. If you can locate and add references to third party published info, that would be terrific.
Thanks for the explanation. Phil Konstantin (talk) 21:13, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Phil CongratulationsCongrats! to you and especially your daughter!
Happy Philkon's Day!

IP editsPlease do not undo an edit just because it was made by an IP, as you did at Play-Doh. The edit is a valid challenge of unsourced material, not vandalism or test editing. Instead, supply reliable sources as to the importance of the material, and remember that IPs are allowed to edit Wikipedia. 71.234.215.133 (talk) 01:34, 23 April 2013 (UTC) - - - "unsourced material": I saw the movie and the story about Play-Doh plays a significant part. Watch the movie yourself and see for yourself. Please provide sourced material which proves PlayDoh is NOT mentioned.
I read the article and my assessment remains true. The mention of Play-Doh to make a very specific point (and what some feel is the best part of the movie) does make it a relevant point. Why would someone buy the product because it was mentioned in a movie make it relevant? And yet quite a few bloggers have used the story in the movie to illustrate a point. I do not understand your mentioning of if Play-doh paid to have its product in the movie. Do you know this happened? How would it make sense without the story being told as a part of the movie. Are you saying Play-Doh went all over Hollywood seeking out a writer who would write a story so Play-Doh could be used in it because it has an interesting story? First you accuse Play-Doh paying to have it included, and now you say they should have an ad campaign because it was mentioned? Those seem contradictory. You said it was unsourced. yes, I saw the movie. You said it was still unsourced. So, I provided clips of the movie showing the story. Now you offer contradictory justification, or the lack there of, that it is not culturally relevant. I do not support the Simpson's TV inclusion as having much significance. But, many people have blogged about the story in the movie. Gee, is it as culturally significant as the bombing in Boston? No, of course not. However, it would be significant for anyone looking up Play-Doh. If the movie had only shown a can of Play-Doh on a wall, in a box of toys, or even a child playing with it without mention (perhaps product placement), I would agree with you. It is the story behind PlayDoh and its detailed story, and how the story changes the outlook of the movie, and how many people have blogged about it that make it more than just a tiny blip of info. Finally, please provide a detailed and annotated definition of "reliable source." You keep moving the goalposts. By your definition, PlayDoh itself should not be in Wikipedia. If you feel this inclusion is so abhorrent, please submit it for arbitration. Phil Konstantin Phil Konstantin (talk) 22:51, 25 April 2013 (UTC) Philkon Reliable sources
Questions about Reliable Sources"Three editors have removed the same material in the past month with you restoring it;" I only see two editors who removed it: yourself and "Fat&Happy". I was working under the hypothesis you were "Fat&Happy" and had finally identified yourself by something other than a number. If there was a third editor, I will humbly stand corrected. However, without a third name, that would make you an unreliable source (jest intended). Having read Identifying Reliable Sources, it appear primarily interested in the determination of facts and the veracity of the facts presented. The fact that the story of Play-Doh is in the movie is beyond question, unless you feel the links to clips I provided were faked. If you mean has a anthropologist done peer-reviewed research on whether the story has affected society, I will grant you I am unaware of this happening. My contention remains that numerous bloggers and reviewers have mentioned the Play-Doh story as a significant part of the movie. That is a verifiable fact, which I provided links to just a few. Being a television broadcaster myself, I have mentioned it on the air. Sorry, but I do not have a video of it to prove that I said it. You can verify the fact that I am a reporter in San Diego either through my own website ( http://americanindian.net ), my YouTube Channel ( http://www.youtube.com/user/cherokeephil/ ) which includes copies of many of my stories, or this following link to my most recent story for which there is a video available (this week: http://www.cbs8.com/category/155799/video-landing-page?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=8811034 ). I will stand by the results of the review if more than just a few people respond. Phil Konstantin Phil Konstantin (talk) 05:08, 27 April 2013 (UTC) Philkon
Disambiguation link notification for October 2Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Soviet submarine K-129 (1960), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Phantom (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

He created the link before the article.--Asher196 (talk) 04:18, 26 October 2013 (UTC) Apollo 16 mapI wouldn't mind you reverting my image in the Apollo 16 article back to the map if the map were not so poorly done. It has an uneditable caption at the top, a nearly redundant label with an arrow pointing at the site that is off center, yet another caption with almost the same words at the bottom, an unreadable index map at left, and a fairly blurry image of the moon from the earth. How about I come up with a better one from the Apollo 16 mapping camera or something similar? Also, I think the Apollo 14 shot adds some value to the article, and it's the only overview of the site in the article at that scale. Why not keep both? I found it interesting that A11 to A15 sites were scoped out by Lunar Orbiter, but 16 and 17 were photographed at high-res by previous Apollo missions. What aspect of Apollo 16 did you work on? Jstuby (talk) 03:57, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Using both pictures would be OK. The Apollo 14 photo alone, while nice quality, did little to help locate the landing area except for lunaphiles or experts. The combination you included in your comments is an improvement. The average Wikipedia user (if there is such a thing) would benefit from know where the landing site is located, and seeing it in a way that could be used easily. I ran computers in the Real Time Computer Complex (RTCC) which is located directly below the Mission Operations Control Room (the room you always see on TV) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The RTCC computers were the ones that ran the missions from Houston's end. I was at JSC from Apollo 16 through the end of Skylab. Later I covered parts of the space program as a reporter/author. You can see details in the KSC and article links below. http://americanindian.net/ksc.html http://americanindian.net/articles.html Phil Konstantin (talk) 17:08, 18 January 2014 (UTC) Phil Revert on Poway, CaliforniaI reverted my edit that removed the mention of Blink-182 from the history article.

I can't "do what you did and call CHP" for the info. It would still be considered WP:OR. It's hearsay and useless for our needs. Content must be supported by WP:RS, added per WP:CITE. I'll take a look at the links you've included here and see if they're useful. If not, I'll hunt around and see if I can find a source that will serve our needs. - wolf 03:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Talk page postYou attempted to contact an editor about an issue (noted above, involving the CHP article), but you posted your comment to their user page instead of their user talk page. This has since been corrected. An editors user page is typically not used for discussions. When contacting other editors, please post your comments to their user talk page, using the "new section" link at the top of the page, ensuring your post will have it's own sub-heading and will be placed at the bottom of the page. If contacting the editor about an article, preferred practice is to use the article talk page instead, and ensure that you notify by them using a "ping" template. In all instances, ensure that you sign all your posts by adding four tildes ( ~~~~ ) to the end of your comment.

How many other editors did you consult to determine if those lists were "useless"? At Rice, the list came from a student committee (FYI, of which I was not a participant in any way). Only about 20 students were included in the list the year I was included. I don't remember how many at SDSU were included. Treaty of Moultrie CreekYour book seems to say the Treaty of Moultrie Creek was signed on January 2, 1823, but other sources mention September. Am I confused or do you know what's going on? Haukur (talk) 20:54, 10 September 2019 (UTC) That was a misprint. The treaty was proclaimed on January 2, 1824. Phil Konstantin (talk) 03:38, 12 September 2019 (UTC) AfD resultWell, Phil, that AfD discussion is over and the end result is an article on your book with a redirect from Phil Konstantin. While I think that's a reasonable result, I was disappointed with some of the comments in that discussion and I think we still have some way to go to improve our culture at articles for deletion. It should not be a forum for taking potshots at article subjects. Haukur (talk) 12:46, 22 September 2019 (UTC) Thanks for your comments. All along I have said if a genuine consensus was reached about an article about me not meeting Wikipedia's standards for inclusion, based on an accurate reporting of what I have actually done or accomplished, then I would not object. It was the arbitrariness of some of the discussion which frustrated me. Some of those who objected to the article's inclusion were polite in their reasoning. Others seemed to take it personally or seemed to have some sort of an agenda. That is just my opinion. There are quite a few people in the world who have made significant contributions to society, without doing it with lots of media reporting on it in such a way that it could be easily confirmed from someone's computer somewhere else in the world. That being said, about once a month, I receive spam e-mail from companies which offer to create a Wikipedia article about someone for a price. I chuckled at the first of these since there already was an article about me. These offers usually cost several hundred dollars. Since I immediately delete them as the spam they are, I do not know if they create factual articles, or fake data in order to meet Wikipedia standards. So, I do understand some skepticism among sincere Wikipedia editors. I know that lots of the material which appeared in the article about me came from photos of documents which I had posted on my personal websites since my first website was created in 1996. Without bragging, I can say that I have been fairly well known in several different communities (American Indian, etc.). And, I was on San Diego radio and TV almost daily for 26 years. Even though I retired from law enforcement in 2005, and broadcasting in 2016, I still get recognized in public as "Officer Phil". So, it would have been easy for members of any of these groups to find the material about me which has appeared over the years. While I do not know if anyone is actually faking documents in order to get a Wikipedia article, it does seem like a lot of effort, with very little return. But, alas, some promoters will do inappropriate things. Phil Konstantin (talk) 21:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC) Phil Konstantin

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:05, 24 June 2020 (UTC) siyoGreetings my brother, I am so ecstatic to meet you. Thank you for your response on WP:IPNA. Sometimes it feels like I am alone here and, while your words of your experience are disturbing, it is a relief to find someone who understands what our ancestors have faced and what we still face today, albeit subtly. I have done extensive work in modifying articles on the Cherokee people here. I have expanded the template linking the history, events, people and landmarks associated with our shared ancestry. I will continue to edit and safeguard these articles with all that I am. The one area that still remains and I am hoping you may be able to assist me with is the actual Cherokee Wikipedia. We need fluent speakers and writers in a bad way. I see where we can make the Cherokee Wikipedia into something remarkable and an example to base other American Indian Wikipedia's on. At some point there was substantial activity on the Wikipedia but it has since dwindled to myself and a few others who just don't want the wiki to die out and so we keep it active. Is there anything we can do to entice help or assistance from the Nation? I view this as a project to preserve the culture and language of the Cherokee. Even if we have to start over and revamp the entire wiki it will be beneficial to all Cherokee to do this.Tsistunagiska (talk) 13:48, 5 October 2020 (UTC) - - - - Alas, the non-Cherokees, and often the non-Indians, keep returning and restoring some of the European-centric writings on Wikipedia. Years ago, I finally gave up on the "Native American" references because the non-American Indians kept coming back and changing it. I still have problems with the folks who insist the official Cherokee Nation with its headquarters in Tahlequah is called the "Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma". This is despite that name NOT appearing on any official CN material, or websites. Unfortunately, the number of Cherokee speakers & writers are few and far between outside of northeastern Oklahoma, and the Cherokee Boundary area of North Carolina. I don't speak or wrote much Cherokee since I have almost nobody to practice with. Finally, as far as Wikipedia is concerned, their "Conflict of Interest" rules can make it very hard for Cherokees to edit things about Cherokees. I've had many of my edits questioned. Nobody is supposed to edit material about themselves, either. Thus none of the three federally recognized tribes are supposed to be involved in material about themselves. If you are Cherokee, you might check in with one of the 25 Cherokee satellite communities around the country. Phil Phil Konstantin (talk) 16:50, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
