You have reverted my change to the Little Prince (section Illustrations") as "not useful addition". I think that an example of illustration is a good and useful addition to that specific section. I would prefer to add original illustration from the book, but I was not able to find them in Commons (copyright issue?) I think it is better to have this example of illustration than no example at all. Illustrations were too important for "The Little Prince"" to not have any example of them in the article about the book.Vitaly Repin (talk) 13:44, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi GroveGuy. Remember that The Cocoanuts is a fictional play/movie, so whether there were any hotels in Cocoanut Grove or Beach is a bit beside the point. The hotel is in the beach, but the important scene with the auction takes place in Cocoanut Grove. -- kosboot (talk) 11:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi again Grove Guy. I don't have a copy of the script in front of me, but I've seen the film many times, and heard the soundtrack many times. If you insist, I'll try to view the film over the weekend, but the point they make in the film is that, like Orange, New Jersey (which is a series of towns - East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, etc.) the "Cocoanut" joke is that every area in and near the hotel is named Cocoanut something. I believe Cocoanut Beach is where the hotel is located and that the hollow tree stump where the jewels are hidden is Cocoanut Manor, lying on Cocoanut Grove. -- kosboot (talk) 13:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Good point, I'll edit them out. Thanks. --Comayagua99 (talk) 02:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Dustjacket of The Yearling 1938 Original.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dustjacket of The Yearling 1938 Original.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. 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. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:45, 26 July 2008 (UTC).

Coconut Grove is not a city, it's a neighborhood within the City of Miami despite what Ransom Everglade's website says. Look it up! :) --Comayagua99 (talk) 19:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I understand that. Coconut Grove was it's own city before, but not anymore. It's a common misconception to think Coconut Grove is it's own city, when it is just a neighborhood within the City of Miami. "Coconut Grove, Florida" does not exist. "Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida" however, does. --Comayagua99 (talk) 14:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Again, it's a common misconception to believe Coconut Grove is it's own city. It's a neighborhood within the City of Miami. See: http://www.ci.miami.fl.us/NETS/pages/AboutNET/DistrictMapLarge.asp. Hope that helps clarify things. :) --Comayagua99 (talk) 01:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for making that clarification. When I read through the Robert Frost page, I felt that reader was left with the impression that the Grove was in the City of South Miami. Good work! --Hokeman (talk) 05:20, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey! The schools I put in the list of Grove schools were either within the Grove's boundaries, or were schools that kids living in the Grove are zoned to, as is the case for Coral Gables High School. That's probably where the conflict really is, but either way, I guess it makes more sense to just have schools in the actual Grove boundaries listed. Either way... Cheers! --Comayagua99 (talk) 01:32, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I have. I just ran a search for "historical-museum.org". --Scaletail (talk) 14:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Donn Albright collects Ray Bradbury, with Bradbury's permission and help, and is pretty much a one-man Bradbury archives. He has almost all of Bradbury's manuscripts and copies of almost everything he's published in every edition, and has edited many of Bradbury's collections and limited editions. An amazing collector devoted to one author. While I don't have an outside reference offhand, many books have mentioned his collection. Thanks, Randy Kryn (talk) 00:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Those were the mangoes that were grown in Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and that is why I thought they were relevant. I was going to add images of other tropical plants, trees and fruits that are located in Fairchild. Do you have any suggestion for any gallery in the Fairchild page in Wikipedia?

Langra - I don't have any suggestion for a gallery in the Fairchild page. You might look at what others do on similiar articles at Category:Botanical gardens in Florida . GroveGuy (talk) 03:27, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I have tried to upload an image for two days. It is an image of the dust jacket of a novel. There is an article about this novel: Gladiator (novel). Could someone do it for me? Could they tell me what I'm doing wrong? GroveGuy (talk) 02:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Here is where the image can be found:

  http://www.grovebook.com/images/Gladiator (novel).jpg

Here is what the image should be named (to match the title of the article):

  Gladiator (novel).jpg

Here is a template with required information:

More information Description, Source ...

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free book cover true for Gladiator (novel)
Description	This is the front cover art for the book Gladiator written by Philip Wylie. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to Alfred A. Knopf Publishers.
Source	It is believed that the cover art can or could be obtained from Alfred A. Knopf Publishers.
Article	Gladiator (novel)
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.
Replaceable?	As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
Other information	Use of the book cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Have you tried Files for upload? Use the FUR above when you're using the wizard there and it should be uploaded in a matter of time. As far as what you've done wrong, there is no record of you uploading such a file at all, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help there. Robert Skyhawk ^{(T C B)} 02:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Robert - thanks for seeing my request. I have gone to UPLOAD FILE in TOOLBOX. I click on COVER OF BOOK, filled in the form, and then hit the UPLOAD FILE button. Nothing happens. I bang on the UPLOAD FILE button. Nothing happens. I log out of Wikipedia, reIPL my computer, clean the cache, and try again. For two days. I'm getting frustrated. GroveGuy (talk) 02:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I would second Robert's advice to try IFU. However, the link you provide is not working right now. One question, you are trying to upload this image from your own computer aren't you, and not directly from that URL? AJ Cham 03:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

(Sorry, that was probably a bit of noob-ish question, and I see you've uploaded images before, so you clearly know what you are doing.) AJ Cham 03:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

AJ - That's it! I WAS trying to upload from that URL. I now tried it from my own computer and it seems to work. Thanks. GroveGuy (talk) 03:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, very well then – glad we got that sorted out! BTW, you need to edit the image description page and put the completed FUR template on there. AJ Cham 03:24, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

AJ - I fixed the template. Everything seems OK now. What a frustration. You'd think Wikipedia could have told me it wanted the picture from my computer rather than from some far away place. Let's hope I remember this for the next time. GroveGuy (talk) 03:35, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree – I've noticed that kind of behaviour before – I wanted to confirm that a specific file format was unsupported, so tried to upload one as a test. It just sat there and did nothing, rather than giving any useful error message. It is a bit silly. AJ Cham 03:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I should just clarify the above in case someone gets the wrong impression – I wasn't actually attempting to upload the file, just going through the motions – I wouldn't have clicked the upload button! AJ Cham 03:43, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Re: your comment ... I thought it was an interesting article, so I felt I should add it as a citation. By synchronicity, I also recently read about Fisher in AAA's New York state guidebook, and his role in developing the Lincoln Highway. Would that be a reliable source? If so, can I add it? Bearian (talk) 21:49, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

I have received your email. This dialog provides some context. My ulterior motive is consistency among various articles in a topic area. I had never heard of Biblio.com until that thread on my talk page.--Chaser (talk) 13:37, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Please read and follow WP:CITE; the "footnotes" are not properly formatted and do not match any of our approved formats. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I am using WP:CT. In WP:CITE it says "editors are free to use any method for inline citations; no method is preferred over another." If you look further down in WP:CITE you will see WP:CITESHORT which looks to me as exactly the style I am using. Please give me a few days. I see you have added refimprove, nofootnotes, and wikify to this article. I will improve it as soon as possible. GroveGuy (talk) 03:09, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe you have the Arva Moore Parks book about the History of Miami which I been looking for at Books & Books, Barnes & Noble, etc. The article is likely going to be WP:FAR in the next month or two, as it doesn't meet criteria. I'm going to the Wolfsonian Museum Bookstore on South Beach on Wednesday to check if I could find the book. It would be nice if the article could be saved. Thanks Secret ^account 00:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi GroveGuy, re: this reversion, your edit summary makes me think you either didn't look at my edit and its effect or you misinterpreted its intent. The edit does not remove information nor does it deny the veracity of the information. In the context of the lead, the hydrogen bomb information is trivia; it doesn't have anything to do with answering the primary question why (in the traditional set "who-what-when-where-why-how"), to wit, "Why was the ENIAC built?" The answer to that question has to do with ballistics tables and to get into a discussion of the hydrogen bomb problem is a sidetrack. If it deserves further discussion in the article, it should be discussed later in the article. To bring it up in the lead without further explanation there and then is simply to sidetrack the lead. (As for your "read the reference" remark in your edit summary, rest assured, I'm well versed in my ENIAC history. :-) ) Cheers, Robert K S (talk) 00:47, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Robert - I disagree with you. I know that you are the ENIAC expert. You have 152 edits versus my 22. Also you are a more experienced Wikipedian; 14,000 edits versus my 1000. I did look at your edit. I try to carefully look at everyone's edit. My disagreement is where the bomb info belongs. I think it belongs in the lead, not in a footnote. Most everyone interested in ENIAC is interested in it as a computer - how many tubes it had and how fast it ran; buffers, flipflops, and pulse streams. I think it is also crucially important what they were doing with it. This started out as a $61,000 project to compute ballistic tables that could well have ended in failure. Then Lt. Goldstine met Dr. John von Neumann and invites him to come see their project. In exchange for making the physics calculations the test problem (not ballistic tables) funds and priorities become unlimited. ENIAC was successfully completed two years later at a cost of $500,000. You might note that I added this info to the article on July 7, 2009. Blainster then moved most of the info to the beginning of the Programming section. On January 1, 2011 TedColes changed "H bomb" to "atomic" and Witshymanski changed it back. As for my "read the reference" remark, this was a citation you yourself added to the article. The article in the Times says "the machine is being used on a problem in nuclear physics". No mention of ballistic tables. I'd appreciate it if you would put the article back the way it was.

Hello GroveGuy. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bryan Park (Miami), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 20:00, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello GroveGuy. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Camp Biscayne, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 20:01, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion was unlikely to work. I often decline speedy deletions when I work that list. You could try WP:Proposed deletion, but anyone can object and remove the template. In that case you can send them to WP:AfD. It is possible to bundle articles for AfD so that they all get considered together. AfD is chancy, though; there seem to always be editors who think every article, no matter how bad, should be kept. Getting an article deleted requires presenting compelling policy-based reasons for deletion. If the only source for these articles is an advertising web site, we might be able to convince a closing admin that they should be deleted. Even so, be prepared for a reaction. I once had editors demanding that I be banned from WP for having the temerity to nominate a particular article for deletion. (break) I just tried a little experiment. I've suspected that some of the advertising sites create a page in response to a search query. I just tried googling "Allapattah Heights" as a test. What I find is that there are many subdivisions with "Allapattah" in their name, Allapattah Heights, Allapattah Highlands, Allapattah Manor, Allapattah Square, Allapattah School(?), Central Allapattah, and South Allapattah Terrace (which may be in south Dade, not Miami). Maybe many of these "neighborhoods" that you are questioning are just subdivisions. -- Donald Albury 21:50, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Have you seen this: Conch house? I just stumbled across it the other day, and tried to clean it up. The definition is hard to pin down. One source confines the conch house style to Key West, Coconut Grove and Overtown.

Sorry to intercede. I am also local in Miami and do lots of photos (maybe have not posted as many as Averette but I do post many of mine.

Alex - Your photos look very good, very professional. It doesn't seem though that the owners have much pride in their house. GroveGuy (talk) 22:29, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

The Maria Brown house looks unoccupied, and the City of Miami site says it is undergoing reconstruction. It is harder to tell with the Stirrup house, but that red sign on the fence may be significant. -- Donald Albury 12:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Mariah Brown's is boarded up. The Stirrup looked empty (no furniture in the little I could see inside). -- Alexf^(talk) 12:50, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Tag Category:Districts in Miami, Florida with the following line:
{{subst:cfm|Neighborhoods in Miami, Florida}}
Tag Category:Neighborhoods in Miami, Florida with the following line:
{{subst:cfm|Districts in Miami, Florida|Category:Districts in Miami, Florida}}

* :[[:Category:Neighborhoods in Miami, Florida]] - {{lc1|Neighborhoods in Miami, Florida}}
:'''Rationalle''': '''Merge one into the other''' as duplicate categories. ~~~~

For at least a week, other users will be able to comment on this proposal (and if they do, you may want to answer some of them). After that period, an administrator will decide if they should be merged, and in which direction, all on the basis of the discussion. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:28, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

GroveGuy, I have User:Donald Alburys talk watchlisted, and decided to lend a hand with this since he seems to busy at the moment. The 2 IPs (173.221.168.186 and 76.108.1.186) have been warned at their talk pages and I added to the discussion at the Design District section on SPAM that you started, requesting that they join the conversation and provide valid reasons for including the WP:ELs. If they re-add without discussion there I'll file a WP:EDITWAR report(or if I'm away from computer this weekend and you notice their return, feel free to file the report). You probably should have taken these steps instead of merely reverting them as much as you did, as some might see you as participating in the edit war. Anyway, we'll see what they do, although I would advise you not to revert there again so as not to persist in the edit war yourself. Cheers, He iro 23:44, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi GroveGuy :-)

I now live in Saint Augustine, Florida, and plan to work with cultural heritage organizations and institutions in the area. I'm reaching out to you because you edit loads of articles about FL.

Do you have any interest in doing either outreach to cultural heritage organizations in FL or on wiki assistance to new editors from this sector.

In particular, I want to get the ball rolling planning Florida events related to Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 that will happen in September 2012. This years focus in the US is images of places on the National Register of Historic Places. While living in Kentucky, my husband and I took and uploaded images of places on the NRHP so I have a general idea of the process. I'm most interested in finding the gaps in coverage of historical sites in FL, and figuring out the best way to get these covered with local events. Maybe road trips to get some images in the outlying areas. We have a good amount of lead time so I think that this is doable.

Additionally, I plan to work with the Saint Augustine 450 Commemoration (a four year initiative to celebrate the founding of Saint Augustine and settlement of FL through educational and legacy projects) to see how that we can add value to their current events, and possibly plan some joint initiatives.

I'm also working with User:LoriLee, the U.S. Cultural Partnerships Coordinator for the Wikimedia Foundation, to create an listing of cultural organizations and institutions in the United States, and WMF volunteers interested in working with these organizations. The beginning stages of it are at Wikipedia:GLAM/US/Connect. We also plan to have State specific pages that link to the Wikiproject for each state.

Would love to hear your thoughts and idea, and to see if you have an interest in one or more of these projects? FloNight ♥♥♥♥ 19:25, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

FloNight - Yes, I am interested in articles centered on South Florida - specifically things that are on the Miami Wikiproject. I would be interested in outreach to cultural heritage organizations in FL or on wiki assistance to new editors from this sector. Monuments are OK too. I notice you have already contacted Ebyabe. I don't travel too much, though. Too many people seem to quit Wikipedia after making one or two edits. It's not easy being a Wikipedian and I'd be willing to help the new people or potential editors. GroveGuy (talk) 01:46, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Great news that you are able to lend a hand. :-) I'd like to get a comprehensive list of GLAMs in the area. But we also need to pick some areas to focus on first.

Do you know of any cultural institutions that we should approach first in your area. At GLAMcamp DC last week, I heard about some nifty ideas for joint initiative that we could offer to do with museums or other places with exhibits or holdings. Or we can talk to places that have stuff that could be digitized and released on Commons?

There are lots of ways that you can help. I'll be back in touch soon. FloNight ♥♥♥♥ 02:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.

Thank you for the interest in the article. It is pretty slim on citations. It is also a work in progress. It is not a hoax. You can check it out on their website. My interest in it stems from the fact that they own 4 locomotives that were in the possession of a tourist attraction that I used to visit when I was a kid. There are not many sources as it has not been open to the public yet. Besides their website, I have also cited the website of the architect and also a newspaper article about the latest locomotive they purchased in November, 2011. It is located on Smokey Lane, Sugarcreek, Ohio. I do not really know much about how to post coordinates. The fact that Jerry Joe Jacobson sold OCRR and kept all his vintage equipment is mentioned in many places, but not everyone is aware yet that he built this roundhouse. Take Care,--Ishtar456 (talk) 16:17, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Check this out Morehead News

My husband just looked it up on Google Earth. He said aerial of that area is dated 2006. Since construction on that building did not start until after 2008, you will not find it on Google Earth. --Ishtar456 (talk) 16:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

well, the Moorhead news is a newspaper. You really think that is a hoax? I think you skepticism may going a little too far. After my husband told me that the map he found was dated he found others that showed the project in different stages of development. He is using google earth. Are you using google maps? Here is a link http://www.amishtimberframers.com/atfasp/atpage.asp?PageID=11 to the people who did the timber framing. Are they a hoax too? Here are the coordinates 40°28'42.75" N 81°39'59.09" W I have a picture I can email you from google earth. I do not know how to post it here.--Ishtar456 (talk) 16:53, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the coordinates. I'm glad you found it. The pic my husband got off GE is from late in 2011 and it is really impressive. I am glad you saw it. I'm going to take a look at mapquest now.--Ishtar456 (talk) 17:26, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

about the date. I was not talking about google maps. When my husband looked it up on google earth he first hit on a map dated 2006. I thought you had said that you had check on google earth...anyway he kept looking and he found serveral images of it in different stages. The latest one was late in 2011. I noticed that google earth gives dates (and so does mapquest) but google maps does not. I put a thing on the talk page of the article in case others ask about this because if you click on the coordinates from the article you cannot see anything but an open field, so this might come up again.--Ishtar456 (talk) 18:07, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

It is always encouraging to find somebody interested in books. Thanks for the advice - it is a different world for somebody used to print editing. I am working on areas in which I am interested, expanding articles and adding references, etc.. I plan to set up a structure of stubs and then develop them later. I have been looking at the article on the Golden Cockerel Press, which is flagged up as needing attention. My temptation is to rewrite completely, rather than improve bit by bit. What do you think?

Hi,

In journalism and scholarship text in a direct quote can be altered by enclosing minor or useful text in square brackets. Is this not the case on Wikipedia? It was confusing because it was next to a date, and I may have screwed it up. What's your advice?Chip.berlet (talk) 13:38, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it can be altered that way. But the least amount of altering of a direct quote is best. GroveGuy (talk) 16:33, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

OK.Chip.berlet (talk) 22:17, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Ok, but I'm not convinced that the image shows what the editor was describing. How could I flag that up? Holbenilord (talk) 17:29, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Instead of flagging it up - why don't you change the description. Now that you point it out, I don't think that the description is very good. The word "faked" is kind of awkward. After all, every item in this article has a faked picture. I see in Google a blue blob where the lake should be. What do you see? -- GroveGuy (talk) 22:06, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

An irregularly shaped blue blob, with a number of white streaks on it, particularly in the upper right. The edge of the blob does seem very pronounced, and (assuming it is real) there is a definite difference in colour intensity between in and the surroundings. Looking at the article on the lake, the shape and colour do seem to match up, and looking at aerial images from other sources (such as [this], [this] and [this]), the image does look reasonable. Holbenilord (talk) 11:38, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey, you did great research here. That first photo looks just like the blob you can see in Google maps. Even though what I see in Google maps still looks kind of fakey to me, I'm going to delete the item for Lake Pinatubo. Good job to you! -- GroveGuy (talk) 21:12, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Groove, the Glenn Curtiss article has a bit of a conundrum as the original statement referring to the French License #2 was removed/reverted while I have two different sources that have noted that Curtiss received the French License #2 as an award for his winning the Gordon Bennett. In order to keep the statement which was in contention, I made it as a note to the reader for further review, with a source provided. When there are many issues in articles, the use of "notes to readers" helps to clarify, elaborate or explain context.

Thanks for uploading File:FHHSseal.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Gatoclass (talk) 16:02, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, in regard to why I moved Phillip Frost's full name to the lead, that is more how I've always seen it done in the Featured Articles over the years. I recall it being in the Manual of Style (WP:MOS), but it's been so heavily overhauled since my last visit that I can't find the precise instruction. Still, I can point to FAs like Peter Jennings, Barack Obama, George Washington (inventor) and Stephen Hawking. It used to be, when someone changes their name over time, the birth name would be mentioned in the section on early life (e.g. "born as _____"); but it seems now best policy is to include the birth name in the lead as well like Malcolm X, Emperor Norton, Judy Garland or Jackie Chan. But I digress. Eventually, if that article were to reach FA, it would end up following that convention. I admit some style guides are clunkier than others, but I do get the desire to keep some uniformity for readers who aren't as good with the language. --Bobak (talk) 19:58, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it was the official name. Please look at the following certificate. Just above "Rector Magnificus". The name was "Universitatis Carolinae Ferdinandeae Germanicae", or in German, Deutsche Karl-Ferdinands-Universität, was the name of the university. I have other sources as well, if the certificate doesn't suit you. Furthermore, on English Wikipedia we do not bold foreign names, we merely have them in Italics. RGloucester — 📬 15:14, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

It does say that on the sheepskin, but still - it just doesn't seem right to me. In the long run the Czechs did their ethnic cleansing and maybe it's best the Karl-Ferdinands-Universität disappears from memory. GroveGuy (talk) 18:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Don't think I'm a Czech nationalist, or anything like that. I feel that the expulsion of the German Bohemians and everything that entailed was horrible, and I'm very interested in pre-1918 Bohemia and Bohemistics. I think it is very important for people to know what happened, to know that Bohemia has a huge wound at its heart. A wound that will never heal. For what's it is worth, the Czech university also had the "Czech" attached. It was until after the First War that Czechs began to demand that the German university be devalued.

The problem with using "must be done" is that it is instructing the reader. Wikipedia does not instruct readers. Whether something must be done or not is irrelevant, as far as Wikipedia is concerned. People who want to learn the intricacies of how to appraise used books need to find a different source than Wikipedia. I'm open to suggestions on how to proceed on the article, but List of used book conditions not really compliant in its current state. One possible way around this issue is to simply state what appraisers/booksellers/whoever do: Appraisers must note any damage to the book. This avoids the problem of instructing readers on how to perform the job themselves. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:09, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

NinjaRobotPirate - I modified the article to explain why the words which were a direct quotation should not be changed. GroveGuy (talk) 08:46, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Oh, they're direct quotations? In that case, they should be in quotes. Instructing editors is also bad; it's a self-reference. The reason why we don't say "do not change this line" is that people may not be reading this on the Internet. If someone publishes a collection of Wikipedia articles in a book (as they sometimes do), readers who come up instructions on how to edit the article will be confused, as it doesn't make any sense. Is the entire list a direct quotation? I'm sorry for my ignorance on this subject. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:26, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

A Wikipedia article is not an advertisement or promotion for the subject of the article, and universities and colleges are not immune from the policies of WP:PROMO and WP:WEIGHT. Images in the infobox should be of a size to be easily seen by the reader without having to click through, but not so large that they become a de facto promotion. Please do not change the size of the seal back to 200px, which is much too large, and therefore violates both PROMO and WEIGHT. BMK (talk) 02:58, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
