[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bigmountain.PNG
Image:Bigmountain.PNG is being used on this article. 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.
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 insure 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 there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 01:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Knock it off
I stumbled on this page while reviewing the recent changes page, and the silly reverts, chatting, and unsubstantiated additions (from both sides of the "dispute", evidently) don't belong. Discuss stuff on this page, or move on, but stop cluttering up WP with crap. And everyone, again on both "sides", needs to read WP:RS, WP:V, and lots of other acronyms I can't think of right now. --barneca (talk) 13:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
User:72.160.33.169 Please, please, please stop adding this material unless you can cite the sources. It is presented in a way that is extremely POV. If you continue, you will leave me no option other than to invoke the 3RR rule. This will cause a block to your account which I am sure you do not want and I hate recommending. Bring your concerns to the discussion page. Thanks ShoesssS Talk 15:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- I am about to make my one and only revert to this article for today. If an IP editor reverts this again without discussion, I will ask that this page be protected from editing by editors without an account (see WP:RFPP; this is doable, and I think would be agreed to by the admins working at that page), and I will then revert the POV material. Use this talk page, and try to create an NPOV article, or all IP editors may lose the ability to edit this article.
- I stumbled upon this page by accident, and have no pro- or con- opinion on the management of this resort, but it is on my watchlist now, and I will do what I can to insist that statements by either camp are verifiable from reliable sources, and not unverifiable opinions. --barneca (talk) 14:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Will the person who persists in vandalising this page please stop. If you have genuine problems with the article then use the discussion forum, that is what it is there for. If your problems are with the politics regarding the sale of the mountain, then you are airing your views in the wrong way and in the wrong place. PLEASE STOP —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.192.192 (talk) 21:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
The anon IP vandal is back at it. Alyeska (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reasons
If you want to discuss reasons, do so in here. You do not post open discussions in the article itself. Alyeska (talk) 16:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Why do you insist on removing cited material. The IP of this company had been documented making changes for itself. Is there some reason to exclude "bad" news about this hostile takeover? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.14.43 (talk) 13:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- I am removing material that is designed solely to inflame. There is already information in the article about the change of lift times and how the people have reacted. This was also cited. The information you are adding is clearly NPOV. The tone of the information is to inflame. You are writing this information in anger. You are also ignoring the rules of Wikipedia by trying to insert your own comments directly into the article. Those are our reasons for removing your information. Alyeska (talk) 20:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Oh please, and when they threw out all of the original stockholders, this was not to inflame? Why do the owners get to write their own material. This site is getting fake with so many thought police around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.14.43 (talk) 22:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- What they do should not dictate the language of the article. Figure a way to reword it without obvious bias. Wikipedia tries not to take sides. Especially on minor things (and trust me, this is minor). While your at it, don't duplicate already written information. The lift schedule is already mentioned. Alyeska (talk) 01:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
If you really believe that a hostile takeover of a major employer in our area is "minor", perhaps you should not have the position of editing the thoughts and opinions of others. Are you being paid by the resort? Why do we see the IP of the resort changing material to suit themselves? If your family owned stock for 40 years thay became worthless overnight because some fucked up Californian decided to invade your town, wouldn't you be angry? Please, no evasive answers unless you are being paid to delete undesirable material.
- All things are relative. Wikipedia is international, not local. Local issues are not to be written in NPOV language. And now you are making baseless accusations against me, character assinations. I do not work for the resort, I never have. I do not own stock in the resort. I barely make enough money to feed myself as it is. You can read my history quite freely on my Wikipedia page. I will continue to revert your edits, and the Wikipedia community will back me on this. Sit back and calm down. Rewrite what your trying to say and lets see if we can get it into the article. Its not what your saying thats bad. Its how your saying it. People from England don't give a rats ass about a hostile take over of a resort in Northwest Montana. They especialy don't care to hear about people complaining about changes made as a result. Alyeska (talk) 00:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I just caught Donnie Clapp, Public Realtions for Whitefish Mountain Resort deleting material he did not like. What a bunch of bullshit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.6.25 (talk) 13:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thats a rather serious accusation. Do you have proof? Mind you, I am aware that the user in question appears to be a single purpose account. His edit history is restricted solely to the Big Mountain entries. Alyeska (talk) 18:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Dhc02 (Talk | contribs) (2,841 bytes) (Removed section describing a recent lift hour misprint on the trail maps for innacuracy and bias.) (undo) THIS IS FROM THE HISTORY. DHC is thought to be Donnie Clapp, Public Realtions for Whitefish Mountain Resort. THIS SITE IS A FAKE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.41.50 (talk) 13:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- I asked you for proof. You provided none. What he put in the edit history doesn't prove anything. What is more telling is his edit history and the fact that his username matches Donnie's initials. Alyeska (talk) 18:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
So how mahy DHC's do you imagine would be interested in rigging the copy for the resort which was stolen in a hostile takeover. Alyeska, if you don't come up with some better explainations, I will contact Wiki and let them know about your bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.30.160 (talk) 13:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Your threat is making me quake in my boots. Grow up. Your throwing out accusations left and right here without a shred of proof, just unusual circumstances. I already pointed out the odd connections between DHC and Big Mountain, but I also noted your not backing up your claims with proof. Now you threaten me. I have no bias, and I have broken no rules. You go right ahead and report me to Wikipedia. I would like to see what happens. Alyeska (talk) 16:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I have also seen the DN number of Winter Sports Inc. deleting and adding material. Who cares if wiki won't do anything, it's a fake site anyway. It's kinda scary that the editors egos seem to prevail. And you complain about "vandalism". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.30.160 (talk) 19:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- You would not stop posting clearly biased NPOV material. I've already explained that if you reword the information into something less biased and more factual, there is nothing wrong. Facts aren't biased. But how you present them can be. Wikipedia doesn't have an obligation like you claim. Conflict of Interest exists when people edit articles about themselves. But workers of a company making edits aren't always a conflict of interest. If they can provide reliable information. Your making wild accusations and throw threats around. I'm still waiting to see you report me for whatever violation you've dreamed up. Alyeska (talk) 00:56, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
