User talk:Yuckfoo/arc

Hi and welcome!

In the short time you've been on Wikipedia, you've _only_ edited pages on my watchlist, so I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other :-). If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on my talk page. — David Remahl 07:05, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thanks...... i've been lurking around here long enough and thought i should finally 'tie the knot' and log in! may our paths continue to cross in the future.  :) :) :) Yuckfoo 07:26, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Yuckfoo. Just a friendly mention that there is no need to change British spellings to American spellings. Both are acceptable, and some people get upset if you change their perfectly valid spellings.

Can I also say welcome and Happy Editing. DJ Clayworth 20:00, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

More schools on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion

As of March 25, 2005, there are an additional (6) articles listed for deletion under the POV notion that schools are non-notable (even though this is invalid reasoning as per the Wikipedia deletion policy). Please be aware that the following schools are actively being discussed and voted upon:

• VfD: Blake Junior High School (renominated)
• VfD: Franklin High School
• VfD: Lake Dow Christian Academy
• VfD: Red Lake High School
• VfD: The Sage School
• VfD: Toowoomba Grammar School

In response to this cyclical ordeal, a Schoolwatch programme has been initiated in order to indentify school-related articles which may need improvement and to help foster and encourage continued organic growth. Your comments are welcome and I thank you again for your time. --GRider\^talk

Thank you for your efforts on The Bulmershe School

Your efforts are much appreciated. I wanted to tell you on your talk page. If you haven't already, have a look at Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch and Wikipedia:Schools.

Also, please use the edit summary box below the edit box. It's considered a courtesy, even though you'll find that some administrators don't use it. The edit summary helps people see what you're doing without having to open every link, it can help prevent tension if someone doesn't know why you've made an edit, and it really helps for people on dialup. Have a look at my "user contributions" for an example... but you certainly don't have to be as obsessive or wordy about it as I've been. Look forward to seeing more of your work! --Unfocused 01:37, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thank you unfocused for your comments, it wasn't much but every bit helps. Yuckfoo 20:10, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

outside opinion

Hi, I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at this poll . As an outside observer your opinion would be useful in helping resolve an edit conflict. --Gene_poole 01:54, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Duveneck School (2nd Nom.)

Hello Yuckfoo. Thanks for your message. I've had my input to the discussion. -- Longhair | Talk 04:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I can understand why you would want to "redress the balance" on the Duveneck School VfD, because User:Gateman1997 had already solicited votes. However I hope you agree that in the long run it isn't in the interests of Wikipedia for us to get into a destructive and acrimonious electioneering war--we might win votes from people who have strong opinions but I suspect that both sides would be seen as behaving badly by many ordinary Wikipedia editors. Also if this continued and both sides refused to back down I would take both to RfC over electioneering.

Fortunately User:Gateman1997 and I were able to see eye to eye and he has stopped. We have agreed to share the schoolwatch page as a central information resource where notices about ongoing votes can be placed. We have agreed to limit our activities to publicly asking interested people to add schoolwatch to their watchlists if they're interested in following the schools issue on Wikipedia, rather than notifying them of particular ongoing votes. I hope you will decide to join this agreement because I think it is in the best interests of Wikipedia. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 12:33, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

yes that seems fair to me too we should stick to our watchlists Yuckfoo 18:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Mertz

I saw your AfD vote for Simson Garfinkel. While he is of somewhat greater noteriety than I (David Mertz) am, there seems to be a common weird bias against academics/computer writers (but a porn actor or indy band of 1/20th the influence is automatically kept). If you feel like voting, thanks. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 17:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

a heads-up on the List of Guantanamo Bay detainees

Greetings,

Since you voted to keep the article List of Guantanamo Bay detainees I thought I would give you a "heads-up". A copyright violation was filed against the article, on October 11th. It was filed by someone who had voted to delete the article on October 5th.

I believe that the copyright violation is entirely bogus. I believe it is bogus because, as explained in Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service, lists of facts, like lists of names, cannot be copyright. This Feist v. Rural case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, which made the possibly counter-intuitive ruling that the amount of effort someone put in to compiling a list plays no role in determining whether that list is eligible for copyright protection.

Even if alphabetic lists of names could be copyright, I believe the wikipedia list would not be violating copyright since the list was compiled from various sources.

Yes, I have considered that this user invoked a bogus copyright violation to achieve a result that failed in the {AfD}. Yes, I asked them to terminate the copyright violation process, in light of Feist v Rural. They declined. The backlog in the administrators dealing with copyright violations seems to be on the order of a month long.

Anyhow, I wanted the people who had shown interest in the article to not freak out, or feel betrayed, by seeing the copyright violation tag. -- Geo Swan 11:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

is there something that i can do? this does not look like a copyvio to me since it is just a list of facts Yuckfoo 04:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Maryville Middle School

So are you going to explain how this school is "special"? Claiming something on the AfD discussion that you don't actually know seems like vote fraud to me. Gazpacho 16:26, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

why is it vote fraud the school is important to me please do not talk to me like this Yuckfoo 17:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Constantine Maroulis

Hi, I noticed you uploaded an image file (Image:Constantine_kept_pants_on.jpg) for the Constantine Maroulis article. That article is on its way to becoming a featured article candidate, I think. Do you support this, or does it still need work? Leave your comments and feedback in Wikipedia:Peer review/Constantine Maroulis/archive1 --User:Lehla 17:10, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

My RFA

Thank you very much for supporting my rather contentious request for adminship, but now that I've been promoted, I'd like to do a little dance here *DANCES*. If you have any specific issues/problems with me, please feel free to state them on my talk page so that I can work to prevent them in the future, and thanks once again!  ALKIVAR™ 07:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Jewish American actor category

Hi, can you confirm what you think mayumashu is right about (they have made many different comments)? I don't think is sensible to keep this category as if someone is of mixed ethnicity and has two professions for example they are part french and part jewish, they can legitimately be placed in Jewish American film directors, French American film directors, Jewish American actors, French American actors.

Howdy, Yuck.

BD2412's RFA

Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. It'll take me that long to thank everyone who voted anyway! Thank you, Yuckfoo. I have seen your participation in AfD and elsewhere, and am honored to have your support. I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality rise to the level of the dream. BD2412 T 16:45, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

My failed RFA :)

Dear Yuckfoo,

I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. Even though it failed with a with the final tally of 55/22/6, I want to thank you anyways. I don't want to be one a admin anymore until I reach 10,000 edits now that it's over with. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Sturmgrenadier AfD

I'm dropping you this note, as I've seen you vote on some gaming articles that were up for deletion and you probably have an interest. Recently, the article for Sturmgrenadier met with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sturmgrenadier (2nd nomination). I would appreciate your input on the article and comments on the AfD page, whether you see fit to retain it or delete it. --Habap 15:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
