[edit] 112 Ocean Avenue

Let's try not to get into a revert war over this. I removed the current address of the house because it is a private residence and is not open to members of the public. There is a longstanding problem with tourists knocking on the door and generally disturbing the peace in the area, so it is best for the article not to give the full current address of the house. There is a photo of what the house currently looks like for anyone who is determined to visit it. As a general rule, Wikipedia articles do not give the addresses, phone numbers etc of private residences. --♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Highwayptch.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Highwayptch.gif. 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. MECU≈talk 19:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:NYPDAuxiliary.jpg

I have tagged Image:NYPDAuxiliary.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.

Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. MECU≈talk 19:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] California sheriff's department moves

Hi. I appreciate the work you've been doing on Californian law enforcement agencies. I noticed today, though, that you were moving a lot of sheriff's department articles to new names. Before you move any more articles, has there been a consensus on this kind of renaming at WP:LE or elsewhere?

The reason for my concern is that these renamings are putting the articles at not-entirely-obvious, non-official variations of the actual departments' names without having an apparent need to do so. For example, the name of the San Francisco Sheriff's Department is not "San Francisco, California Sheriff's Department," nor, to my knowledge, is there any need to disambiguate it from any other San Francisco Sheriff's Department elsewhere. In the cases of the myriad Washington County Sheriff's Departments that are sure to exist across the US, disambiguation and pagemove renaming would be necessary, but in a format showing the incidental state identifier as being parenthetical to, and separate from, the official name, e.g., "Washington County Sheriff's Department (New Somestate)."

Also, "San Francisco, California Sheriff's Department," by strict grammar, implies that "San Francisco" is an additional clause or subset to "California Sheriff's Department," which does not exist. If using that format, the state name would have to be separated out as a parenthetical clause with two commas -- e.g., "San Francisco, California, Sheriff's Department." However, that's not the official name of the department. Better to leave it at its plain name until another article pops up that needs to share the name, and then to just place a further identifier parenthetically at the end of the title, so that the organization's true name isn't broken in the middle (which can hamper certain kinds of searches). --Dynaflow babble 01:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, one other thing. Please don't try to undo page moves yourself. If I recall correctly, it screws up something with redirects and article and talk-page histories when pagemoves are reversed without using either admin tools or rollback rights. I can actually take care of all those pagemoves tomorrow or Monday. --Dynaflow babble 06:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Style question

In general I would advise that you ask at WP:LE's talk page, however this isn't frequented by many users. If the disupute escalates/remains unresolved you could try a 3rd opinion? I confess I do not see how one choice could be too much better than the other. SGGH speak! 21:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My recent rollbacks

Well, congratulations on your rollback status. I seem to be the first editor you are trying your new found tool on. I read your remarks on my talk page and have asked for some consensus from the Law Enforcement Project. However, I was slightly distressed to discover that you have rolled back many of my page changes prior to any actual discussion. I would have preferred you waited until this could have been agreed upon. At this point I am unaware of any actual violations of any policy, so it is just two opinions. Mine is certainly open for change.

You stated that the actual name of the department should be used. I agree with you. However, in regard to the San Francisco Sheriff's Department, what is the actual name? I have seen it listed variously as:

  • The City and County of San Francisco Sheriff's Department
  • The Sheriff's Department of the City and County of San Francisco
  • The San Francisco Sheriff's Department

The official website uses the headings CCSF Sheriff's Department

I work for the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office in New York State. My Office is referred to variously as:

  • The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office
  • The Suffolk County Sheriff's Department
  • The County of Suffolk, Office of the Sheriff
  • The Suffolk County Office of the Sheriff
  • Office of the Sheriff, Suffolk County, NY

I added considerable content to various lists and was finding links directed to the incorrect state. I began to list them including the state name for clarity. While I can agree that the San Francisco Sheriff's Department is not going to be confused with another organization, it was changed in a effort to provide consistency and the redirect page should have sufficed for anyone hitting the older title. You also mention that the strict use of grammar would seem to prohibit the title as I change it. Perhaps, but it is not unheard of to refer to other departments in this fashion.

Please let me know if you have any other input on the naming of law enforcement agancy pages, as this is "my thing" and I rarely venture off the reservation. I would like to use one style of naming the departments. Some of the options I have come up with include:

  • San Francisco Sheriff's Department (California)
  • San Francisco Sheriff's Department (CA)
  • San Francisco, CA Sheriff's Department
  • San Francisco, California Sheriff's Department
  • San Francisco, CA, Sheriff's Department
  • San Francisco, California, Sheriff's Department

I am not sure what the other members of the Law Enforcement Project will say, but I will wait for some kind of consensus before renaming any additional pages. I would appreciate you leaving these pages alone until others have joined the discussion. It also appears that the use of rollbacks for content disputes is discouraged and should be used only in relation to vandalism or a consensus. SGT141 (talk) 22:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I actually only rolled back a few of your pagemoves before my NyQuil took effect (I've had some long-lived variety of flu for the past week or so) and I stopped for need of rest and for fear of making sedative-addled wiki-mistakes. [edit: Looking into article histories now, others seem to have finished what I started, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=San_Francisco_Sheriff%27s_Department&diff=198652727&oldid=198405675.] I based my finding of consensus on this thread: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive385#Need sysop help to roll back large number of good-faith/badly-executed pagemoves, in which experienced admins agreed that the pagemoves weren't in keeping with the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, and granted me rollback to return those articles to their "zero state." As I suggested, and as User:bibliomaniac15 also suggests in the above-linked ANI thread, a good format, consistent with MOS, could be "Name of the Department (Incidental Geographic Identifier)." It would be good to move many of the articles on departments with similar names to that format; I just wanted to make sure those moves were done from the original titles, so we wouldn't have to deal with double- or (shudder) triple-redirects or anything like that. --Dynaflow babble 05:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Shenandoah, Iowa Police Department, makes it harder to read.

An editor has nominated List of motorcycle clubs, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of motorcycle clubs (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 10:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
