Rock music WikiProjectI'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Rock music WikiProject. There's alot of Rock-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 08:50, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

(undent)WTR, I think maybe we’re getting diminishing returns now on the McCain article. My understanding was that your main concern about the article related to stability,[4] and I didn’t realize that you also want to make lots of substantive changes. Is the article getting close to where you want it? If not, then maybe I should reconsider the FA nomination.Ferrylodge (talk) 01:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
I know you've been asked this beforebut I do think you'd make a great admin, and would certainly nom you at WP:RFA if interested. Any thoughts to reconsider? Wizardman 23:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Hillary imageI feel your pain... I found that photo looking through files here and later searched around for a close up, but to no avail. One does exist, because I remember seeing it in a book but I'll have to find the source and perhaps contact the Reagan library. In any event, I'm glad to help out. And WTR, I should apologize to you. You asked me to take a look at the Early life and military career of John McCain article when it was up for FAC. But the next thing I knew, I was nominated for adminship and my week was gone. I completely forgot about your notice, but my sincerest congratulations to you on getting that to FA and I commend you for your hard work both on that article and the John McCain article itself. You are a tremendous editor! Best as always, Happyme22 (talk) 19:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:DCX2006TourShirtFront.jpg Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DCX2006TourShirtFront.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Calliopejen1 (talk) 06:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Redirect of Kelly and Mario Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Kelly and Mario, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Kelly and Mario is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). McCainWTR, would you please be willing to reconsider my offer to conominate the McCain article?[5] I feel kind of silly being the sole nominator, given that you've done such an immense amount of work on it, and given that you continue to do excellent work protecting the article and discussing changes at the talk page. We've had disagreements, but I think we've been able to discuss them constructively, and the article continues to benefit from that. What do you say?Ferrylodge (talk) 03:17, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Yet, you and others of your editorial ilk continually put on the appearance of surprise that such page locking and reversion-hawking in order to eliminate edits you find disagreeable, and to those few fanatics who can afford to spend enough time on WP to 'earn' the coveted privileges regarding page locks, thus cabalistic control over WP content, result in WP pages differing little from the standard crap promulgated by Big News or found on myspace. more real-life folks every day are learning to ignore WP due to precisely such attitudes displayed so contemptuously, patronizingly, and condescendingly, (as well as perfectly encapsulated), in your above 'advice' to any showing a desire to 'join with' and 'add to' the 'editorial consensus.' Frankly, the resemblance between the manner in which WP 'editors' manage the 'editorial consensus' from within the shielding offered by their anonymous claims to their own 'editorial objectivity', and the manner in which Big News have done so the last 50 years or so, becomes daily more clear. Howzzat for time wasting, my friend? Ban me if you want. that just makes it easier to further ignore the dreck that WP is daily slipping into.

Dominant editorIs it true that you described yourself as a "dominant editor", who "is certainly always able to keep what they *don't* want out of" articles, such as the Hillary Clinton article? Just asking if the same thing is going on with you and the McCain article where out of "sheer power of will" you try to keep away things you personally "don't want" regardless of their importance and significance as compared to other quotes already in the article?

Registered DemocratI can't find the article now but I read somewhere that you are a card-carrying registered Democrat and public supporter of Hillary Clinton, an other article also had a picture of you. Did I understand the situation right? I guess this would show your opposition to the quote based on no research into it's notability or your attack on YoungTrigg [7] (perhaps fishing there for a quote by the media?) in a much different light. And I think it's also not healthy for the developement of the article if a political opponent (you) plays such a dominant role in it's creation (talking about the McCain article). In case you did not publicly state that you support Hillary Clinton and I misread something please just remove this post as I'm going from memory here. Hobartimus (talk) 18:54, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
PalinsanityYeah, it makes the Obamathon seem positively sedate. I'll definitely have a look at Gerri. Meanwhile, this evening Greta Van Susteren was introducing a pre-recorded, not live (and therefore editable), Fox lovefest-documentary about Sarah, and she intoned - amazingly - that this year, for the first time (that is a quote), there's a chance that a woman will preside over the United States Senate as VP.

I see you erased the stuff that I added about taxes to Political positions of John McCain. I won't put it back into the article, because I don't want to get into an edit war. However, the reason that I added it is because the paragraph right before it said that McCain's tax plan would cause tax revenues to fall. The reason that prediction is wrong, is because it doesn't take into account the fact that people alter their behavior in response to changing tax rates.

--Cirt (talk) 00:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC) Hillary picHi WTR, I have a question for you about the pic at the top of the Hillary Clinton article, if you've got a moment. Has anyone objected that her head is too small in proportion to the image as a whole? And what was the reaction to that objection? Thx for any assistance.Ferrylodge (talk) 06:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
The three pics of her overseas were all taken by the military, and so are public domain. In contrast, pics at the web site of the Alaska state government are not public domain. So, this is just the way it worked out. It just happens that the highest quality public-domain pics of her happen to be by the US military overseas. As far as the top pic on the article, which one would you replace it with? I agree that it's not very sharp, but there are problems with the other available pics too.Ferrylodge (talk) 01:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

McCain categoryHi Wasted Time R. I think you made the right decision by moving the Jeopardy! bit to the "early life" subarticle, but the category belongs on the BLP article. Don't you think that Category:Jeopardy! contestants should only only show articles with persons as their subjects? I mean, an "early life" can't be a contestant. And McCain wasn't a "different person" in his early life. Robert K S (talk) 04:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
903Hi, sorry I genuinely had somehow missed your comment on my talk page until now. 903 has an interesting (and not the most endearing to other editors on articles) manner of communicating and is full of opinions. I have praised her for edits where she collaborates well with other editors, and encouraged her to develop this. However, infuriatingly, her suggestions often also have a point:) For instance, I don't know much about the McCain subject, but it appears other editors have acknowledged she had a point about the 1982 business and changed headings etc. Sticky Parkin 00:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC) Re: Biden imageThe older image is at a higher resolution.

There's a general and fundamental disagreement about how to write a BLP, so I started a thread at the BLP Noticeboard, but the only people commenting are the people who disagreed at the article in question (Palin). It's not a content dispute, but rather a disagreement about what the BLP rules mean. Some say that it's okay to insert material even if there's been a discussion that reached no consensus about whether to insert it, provided that the material is factually true and not private info about the subject. Others say that lack of consensus means the material ought to be kept out, if concerns have been expressed about undue weight or other guidelines. Also, any advice from you about how to resolve this question would be appreciated.Ferrylodge (talk) 20:10, 4 October 2008 (UTC) Image:IndiaGateAtNight.jpg listed for deletion
Thumbs upHi, thanks again for the explanation. You see, when I noticed that you I feature repeatedly in the discussion as a voice of reason, I checked your user page and let me say I was impressed: I've stopped hoping to see a Wikipedian so sane, informed, aware of Wikipedia's deficiencies - and yet able to do something about them. Barnstars from an unknown wikignome would be kinda meaningless, but I guess I might be good for a few seconds of teh warm fuzzy feeling (which is the most important thing anyway, right?).

ApologiesHello WT, you posted at McCain Talk: Writegeist, you've called me a string of names here. I don't intend to reply in kind [...]You've called me a censor, an article owner, a filibusterer, a hyena, a stooge, and a Republican. The last one really hurts! Censor, article owner, filibusterer: No. I simply explained where you were in violation of WP:FILIBUSTER,WP:CENSOR and WP:OWN. No name-calling there. Hyena: I used hyenas' occasional antagonism towards other members of their pack to illustrate the logical fallacy of arguing that your occasional antagonism towards another editor proves that you do not share a common interest in owning the article. And also, I must admit, to show my aversion to that particular common interest. Had I known that merely directing your attention to certain WP rules and guidelines would cause you to feel you were being attacked with insulting names, I would not, of course, have used the hyena metaphor. Or at least, should not have. I apologize for offending your sensibilities. Stooge: used as a synonym for "shill", and applied also, you will note, in the same context, to myself. I did not take any offense at it myself but I fully accept that you did, for which again I apologize. Republican: You're right, that is profoundly wounding and no honorable person would tolerate it. I apologize, but I know it's woefully insufficient. It is only fair that you be permitted to choose: pistols, sabers or wet kippers at dawn? — Writegeist (talk) 18:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

As I said previously, you ought to be very proud of your diligent work on the McCain article. McCain has an outside shot to win tomorrow, but Obama seems to have the edge.

Many sources claim Harding's Senate term ended March 3, 1921 (not sure why his article says begining in January 15, 1915), 12 hrs before he became President. Kennedy resigned from the Senate 'bout 2-month before he became President. Assuming Obama resigns from the Senate before Noon EST, January 20th, 2009.

Hey!I stumbled across your page with Tony Bennett's new Christmas album while doing some random clicking and noticed you left off the song composer info temporarily. I located the AllMusic page for the album and put it in (some slight changes to track times from it too), added the AllMusic link, and such. See if the page now is to your liking. =) I removed the reference to "The Count Basie Big Band" in the infobox. If you have it there, in the Artist item, then what will happen is the infobox disc. section says "Tony Bennett and The Count Basie Big Band discography" when it's actually only Bennett's discography. I see that they've done other albums together, so if you want to list their chronology together separately, go for it and use the "Extra chronology 2" template. I can help with that, if you wish; you can also list Bennett's Christmas chronology, making THREE sets of discographies. (Your page does not state you're an admin., so I hope I'm right in giving this advice. I've done a lot of these templates recently. ^_^ ) Cheers, and thanks for posting this album. I didn't know about it initially. =) CycloneGU (talk) 03:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

BJBot (talk) 05:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC) Opinion on footnotesHey Wasted, it's good to talk to you again. I've been working on the Margaret Thatcher article pretty recently and now it's up for GA. The reviewer moved all the footnotes within one sentence to the end of that sentence. Many sentences had multiple footnotes which supported different parts of the sentence. By moving them all to the end, readers and editors are unable to know which cite supports what in the sentence. I asked him why and he said it was to make it more "FA worthy", or something along those lines (see User talk:Happyme22#Margaret Thatcher). I know that the Reagans and Pat Nixon don't have all the footnotes at the end of the sentences and I remember some discussion regarding this at John McCain. If it's not too troubling, could I get your opinion on the matter? My best, Happyme22 (talk) 00:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Joe BidenThanks for researching the facts of Biden. Generally, this project includes restraints. If they have done something significant here or annual, I include them in the project. For example, I included the first George Bush because he earned his wings in Hyannis. Bill Clinton summered in Marthas Vineyard. I included him because he seems to have vacationed here during this holiday for at least ten years. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:53, 28 November 2008 (UTC) Out of curiosityHow does this look?

Invitation for commentHello Wasted Time R, I currently have a workpage up for a detailed ANI that I intend to file reporting csloat for disruptive editing. The first incident that I am citing is one that I was not involved in; it pertains to a page protection that was applied a little over a month ago on the John McCain presidential campaign, 2008 article. This is the first of several incidents that I will report, so this is a work in progress. Since you were more involved in this one, I was wondering if you could review my current write up for this section and provide any commentary if you have the time. The workpage is tongue-in-cheekly named User:Amwestover/Swiftboating#First_incident. Any comments or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --Amwestover (talk|contrib) 02:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I made this change change to Jersey Girl (song) based on a comparison of the lyrics (see references). Could you verify that this fits with your book reference (or just that it's correct :-)?

CA-32Good point. We can't be sure Solis will be confirmed. Do you know, by the way, if she said she would resign if/when confirmed? I know Clinton did. Some nominees resign ahead of time, and some wait. I really don't know. I think the language you just added should do the trick for now.—Markles 15:06, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
MCain citation templatesHi. On templates - I realize that "work" and "publisher" work differently; I do try to use "work" for the name of the appropriate publication that the article is printed in. I used to use {{cite web}} for most everything, but have tried to go to the ones more specific for type of reference - which might be helpful in automatically taking on new formatting, etc. {{cite magazine}} redirects to {{cite journal}}. Guess it is just the gnomish part of me - as an article is moving up the quality latter, consistency seems to be reviewed with more detail, so things that are easy fixes can be helpful - especially in FAR where the fine-toothed comb seems to come out. BTW - very interesting article. — ERcheck (talk) 22:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC) Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:FifthDimensionWeddingBellBluesClip.jpgThank you for uploading Image:FifthDimensionWeddingBellBluesClip.jpg.
