[edit] the looting flame

hi - I'm quite new here - at what point do we send the discussion up for arbitrage? cheers, DocendoDiscimus 15:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

You have to dig up the community pages... it's quite a hell to find, and I never had the need before. Anyway I think Katefan already submitted arbitrage. --Cyclopia 10:19, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ben Gatti and Looting

Arbcom cases that are taken are for user conduct. If you look at the statements, we do mention other articles that Ben has worked on. So yep. Feel free to add whatever you would like. Look at the evidence page and just follow the format they prescribe. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 21:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New Force

Sorry about the tone. What annoyed me is not that added categories back, back that you had done it only for New Force. I thought that getting all the neofasc. parties into a single cat (while perhaps encompassing articles which are not really for parties) would make it redundant for them to be listed as parties.

Yes, "by ideology" is not a categorization yet for Italy. But check out Category:Communist parties in Spain and Category:Communist parties in France (or Category:Socialist parties in France). In fact, I have already "ideologized" the categorizing for politicians in Italy as well: Category:Italian communists (note the subcating per party) and its parent Category:Italian socialists. The fact is that I was going to do something like that with parties themselves, but I frankly got tired after having categorized more than half of the people in Category:Italian politicians (and copy-edited in 80% of the cases, while also translating some new articles from italian wiki). I had also been doing the same for Fascism and Neofascism, creating a logical flow in categories (this is why the "Italian neofascism" thing popped out before other ideologies in Italy). Now, sorry again, but when I first saw what you did, I thought you were like that person who keeps adding Category:Fascism to the Adolf Hitler article, not caring that he is already in 12 subcategories of that one.

If you feel the need to par this with new categories for other Italian parties by ideology (although I think we'd all be clueless as to where one would include Forza Italia), go ahead. Dahn 18:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

This is the second of a long series ;) --Gurubrahma 09:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Santee

Cyclopia states:

Santee is pretty "ghetto". Everyone I knew growing up there wanted to leave. Those who were successful left years ago. Those who did not either ended up working for the military or in entry-level, minimum-wage jobs. For successful adults, buying a house and settling down in Santee could be nice. But the racism and class problems that arise (mainly affecting youth in the area) make it pretty "ghetto". Anyways, Santee IS affordable to the working class, but most of the people living there aren't even working class. And the article does not say that conservatism is a bad thing. So, instead of arguing, I'll just take that remark out until it has been backed up with some evidence, okay? And yes, Santee's claim to fame IS the school shooting. Being friendly and clean is not a claim to fame. Tijuana is friendly and clean. Santee is tumbleweeds and poor people.

You are stating personal info not actual fact. And you are misusing the term "ghetto"

ghet·to n. pl. ghet·tos or ghet·toes A section of a city occupied by a minority group who live there especially because of social, economic, or legal pressure. Provided By: http://www.dictionary.com

Santee is made of mostly white people not a minority. The majority of people in Santee are of stable economic standards and are NOT suffering from poverty.

You state that: "but most of the people living there aren't even working class" The majority of people live there are families. And the majority of adult commute out of the city for work. (That is why two freeways were created and construction of the rest of the "52" is underway to connect to the "67" (June 2006) Santee also has a very low unemployment rate. Lower than the city of San Diego.

You also state: "Santee is tumbleweeds and poor people." This statement is WAY unfactual and incorrect. In the year 2000: The average income is SANTEE was 53,624 and in San Diego it was $45,733 Source: http://www.city-data.com


I would like to recommend that in the future you not let PERSONAL experiences and info allow you to over look fact and there is not proof or statistics about Santee being a "racist" community

I have Santee in my watchlist, but, never having been in the USA, let alone Santee, I have never wrote that thing. You must report your rant to someone else. :) --Cyclopia 08:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ordine Nuovo

Ciao! thanks for your attention on Ordine Nuovo. Concerning the Third Position, could you find any sources (on-line & off-line), in English, Italian or whatever, about this? It would help improve the article. Tazmaniacs 15:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I know there is an autobiographical book written by Fiore and Adinolfi called Noi Terza Posizione; some far right bookstore should have/provide it. Googling will lead you to a bit of sparse material. There is also the Ugo Tassinari book Fascisterie that SHOULD have good material, but I don't know. I still have to read it. --Cyclopia 21:44, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking Equine nutrition

Removed my previous posts...another admin restored the Equine nutrition article after I spend about five hours footnoting it. Apologies for too much material too close to verbatim, there were actually many different sources, just got careless about footnoting, didn't rewrite enough, thought the thing was covered by the cites at the bottom of the article for the short term. If there are still concerns, I would appreciate a heads up and 24 hours to fix rather than having the whole article blanked. Montanabw 01:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

You're forgiven. I should have done more rewriting and footnoting from the outset, I was impatient to get the article up. Montanabw 23:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Ross Bolleter suggestion for DYK

Interesting article; however, the main text (lists etc are not counted) is currently a little under the minimum of 1500 characters, are you able to expand it? It would probably also help if there was a source independent of the subject for the fact included in the hook. Regards, Espresso Addict 18:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Turkmenistan cities

Hi I added an infobox to Darvaza. You can google the place to retrieve the coordinates. I'll look to stub these articles soon, so any help you can give in flling in the list would be great ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 13:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

Uh, it's stuff I uploaded when I was young and naive...It's most probable the image is not suitable for WP. Delete it and sorry for the inconvenience. --Cyclopia (talk) 18:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
