Jeremy Clarkson

I was baffled to see that you have deleted this article as "not sufficiently notable". Mr Clarkson is one of Britain's best-known television personalities and motoring journalists. I see from the logs that he has had articles deleted before from lack of sources, but notability should not be an issue. Would you support me if I created a new article, every quote being sourced from the website of the BBC or a major newspaper?--Ole.Holm 17:14, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you are correct - I accidentally selected the wrong reason. But the deletion was made because the only content on the page was "Geez, why can't I access history of deleted page? That's so lame." Feel free to recreate the page, provided (as you said) the quotes are properly sourced. ~ UDScott 19:10, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

My great UDScott Show Pity upon my merciless sole?

Hello, great UDScott! I'm new here and before I just "jump into things" I wanted to ask a few questions. I'm asking you because I was told you are a great leader here at Wikiquote. Here's the Q's dog:
1.) Are there any special rules or traditions I should know of?
2.) Is there a type of hierarchy here I should know of?
3.) Any ideas of where I should start?
4.) Anyone I should stay away from or be aware of? (Trouble makers, notorious vandals etc.?)
Thanks for your help,

UDScott can you show me the light?

HI UDScott, I am in the process of transcibing the audio from The 99p Challenge (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_99p_Challenge) gameshow, I saw that you had put the stub label on it & thought best to contact you as a WikiQuote Guru. Have you ever heard the show or have any experience with quoting Gameshows. I need some guidance on how best to approach this. Looking at the page now each episode is a section & a whoever entered that stuff has put a page break for each 'round' and selected 1 or more quotes.

Just wondered if you or anyone you know, would be able to advise me on the most appropriate way to proceed. Thanks, Darkroomwithaview 23:06, 26 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

I would suggest that you continue with the episode approach - but you should base the number of quotes on the limits set at WQ:LOQ - which would translate to 2 quotes per episode for a half-hour show and 5 per episode for an hour show. So that would mean that the first episode needs to be trimmed already. Hope that helps. ~ UDScott 01:16, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

QUESTION?

How would I go about adding sources for a quote I recently added to the Call of Duty Page? Thank you for your anticipated response. ISHOOTHORSES 20:44, 3 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

In this case, I don't think you need to do any more. ~ UDScott 20:54, 3 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you

Thank you UDScott, but "some" films of I created, doesn't have film templates as rottentomatoes.com, example Alice in Wonderland (1976) and The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976), because these are porn movies. But, The Opening of Misty Beethoven has a IMDB quotes page. --Danilo Andres Ramirez   Problems? 20:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Gordon Wu

I'm contesting the Prod. He's a knight and an honorary citizen of New Orleans. He was declared International CEO of the Year by George Washington University in 1996. How much more notable must a businessman be before he can have a page? Maybe not a brilliant quote, but that's a different issue.--Ole.Holm 20:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Not a problem - I didn't get any sense of notability from the intro that was there - and at that time I didn't have a chance to look into it. That's what is nice about the prod - it gives some time to correct or research a page before it is subject to deletion. I have no problem with you removing the tag. ~ UDScott 21:13, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)

Just to let you know I can't trim the page because if I remove the memorable quotes by mistake the page might be nominated on a VFD or it might contain a prod that has the reason called unmomorable quotes. I rather let you trim the articles because you're the admin around here and you and your fellow Admins are the ones that know which quote is unmemorable and memorable.(StarWarsFanBoy 05:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC))Reply

Look, all I am saying is not to dump a bunch of quotes that are not properly formatted and forcing me or others to do the work for you. If you are unwilling to do that, then your additions will simply be reverted. ~ UDScott 18:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thats why we discuss on the talkpage of the Article you just reverted and on that talkpage I made a list of quotes to see if you can tell which quotes are very notable from that quote list I add to the talkpage. IF you see those two memorable quotes from that list someone might as well add those two notable quotes to the article.(StarWarsFanBoy 21:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC))Reply

Why don't you just pick two of them, properly format them, and add them to the page. The point is not that admins are the only ones who can choose quotes. It's just that every couple of weeks, you've been dumping a bunch of unformatted quotes on the page, expecting someone to fix them for you. Why don't you give it a try instead? ~ UDScott 00:23, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

If I add the quotes then I might add the unmemorable materials by mistake and the page might get deleted. Once again I can't tell which quote is notable or memorable.(StarWarsFanBoy 00:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC))Reply

You are a wikinazi

You seem to fit the classic profile of a wikinazi. How do you figure that Joe Stack's manifesto is not "notable"? Are you ignorant of current affairs or just so convinced of your infallibility that you ignore reality? - —This unsigned comment is by 121.200.234.61 (talkcontribs) .

While the story is certainly in the news, Joe Stack himself is not someone who is notable enough to have a page here. And even if the community decides that he is, the entire "manifesto" should not be reproduced here. The incident itself is noteworthy, but the man really isn't. ~ UDScott 14:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I just noticed that W. C. Allee was deleted. I would like a copy so I can restore it with sources. Could you restore it for me on my talk page or in my user space? Thanks. Viriditas 13:20, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Per your request, here is the content on a subpage to your user page - just delete this subpage once you've made the new Allee page. For future reference, you can still access the history of a deleted page, just need to click on the link and then click on the link at the top of the page that shows the prior deleted pages. ~ UDScott 16:31, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, but I can't access the history. All I can see is the deletion log.[1] Viriditas 02:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Actually, you're nearly there - from that page, all you have to do is click on the links on the left (with time and date stamps). Each of these corresponds to a version of the page from that specific date and time. ~ UDScott 12:47, 26 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Andreu Buenafuente

You want to erase the message of this page, that I have put references... please

Having a list of references (in Spanish no less) does not provide sources for the quotes - specific citations are need so that people can verify the accuracy of the provided quotes - this is especially true for a living person. I don't see anything in your additions that would cause me or others to remove the proposed deletion tag. ~ UDScott 21:07, 11 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Joe Strummer

I was about to start a Strummer page, but hesitated because you deleted it twice.

I recently saw the Strummer biographical documentary The Future is Unwritten, and heard him say "it only makes sense in the moment." While I have never been a Clash or Strummer fan, I perceived his organizational abilities to be phenomenal, and this insight by him resonated with my attempts to organize information, particularly my Spiritual Darwinism.

I also heard a telling yet less admirable quote by him that went something like "I would never steal a friend's money, but I would steal his girl."

What is your reaction to this?--John Bessa 15:13, 20 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

IP block

Did you mean to use an infinite block on IP 80.84.50.10? ~ Ningauble 13:45, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well, I did intentionally make that block - this was during the nearly constant reappearances of the same user or users and I had been performing such a block on each. If you disagree, I am fine with it - I didn't even think about it being an IP address rather than a user name, but I assumed it was the same individual based on the content added. ~ UDScott 15:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
It probably doesn't matter either way. Our project is so small that the odds of someone else using this particular address here in the future are slim, and the total number of infinitely blocked IPs here is rather small.[2] On the other hand, any block is only a temporary expedient with vandals who move around constantly... ~ Ningauble 16:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Arthur Kemp

I'm new to Wikiquote. I'm not sure exactly how the policies and guidelines differ from Wikipedia, but I thought I'd include a page about this controversial figure given his unorthodox views on race. A couple of questions - are there any guidelines on which quotes should be included? Does Wikiquote have a similar concept to notability with Wikipedia? Do quotes have to be listed in order that the person said them in? Thanks... -Lightsin 02:29, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

In answer to your questions: yes, there is a notability concept at Wikiquote (I believe this person meets the threshold) and yes the quotes should be listed in chronological order. As for what quotes to include, it's a bit subjective, but the quotes should be of a nature that they stand on their own as something memorable and are not just used to fill a page. For example, even if the person is undoubtedly notable, everything they say is not necessarily worthy of inclusion - as an example, it would be pretty pointless to quote Abraham Lincoln were he to describe his favorite recipe. Thanks for the contribution, and enjoy the site. ~ UDScott 13:15, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

No worries - I wouldn't say they are mistakes so much as a learning curve. It wasn't a bad start, just needed a little refining. Take a look at the templates for the different types of pages and look at other pages to get the lay of the land. And feel free to ask questions whenever you need help. ~ UDScott 01:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
One Bride of Chucky I added a dialogue section that includes "Hey, Raggedy Ann, you looked in the mirror lately? Now's not the time to get picky." The same quote is under Chucky. Am I supposed to remove it from Chucky? Joe Chill 02:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it should be removed from the Chucky section - and by the way, it's usually better to have the quotes in the dialogue section if that's possible (and the dialogue is memorable enough). ~ UDScott 02:43, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Question

Hi UDScott:

Congratulations on becoming a Wikiquote sysop and bureaucrat. I noticed you deleted my page: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ideas_without_execution_are_hallucinations

I am new to posting on Wiki sites and am trying to learn the protocol. I notice the reason given was:

Speedy deletion: Housekeeping as described here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/WQ:SD

From reading that page I see that "Housekeeping" includes: "Non-controversial maintenance tasks such as temporarily deleting a page in order to merge page histories, performing a non-controversial page move like reversing a redirect, or removing a disambiguation page that only points to a single article."

Can you please explain in more details the reason for this deletion? This seems an important quote I have heard from several sources and I am trying to track down the source. I heard it was Thomas Edison though I could not find it on that page: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison so therefore I created this article to track it down, until the actual author is found, at which time it would move to that page. I also posted this as a discussion here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Thomas_Edison

Is that the proper place for this rather than creating a separate article? (Hopefully you won't delete it over there too! :^) Can you please explain? Again I am simply trying to learn the protocols.

Thank you very much and best regards,

148.87.19.210 21:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC) Andy 16/jul/10Reply

Perhaps using the 'Housekeeping' reason was not entirely correct, but in the end, having a page for a single quote for which no source or even author is entirely known is not the right way to go. Instead, it would be good to post something on a place like the Village Pump or even the Reference desk. Also your posting on the Thomas Edison talk page was a good move as well, and perhaps someone will find a source. Hopefully, this answers your questions - feel free to ask more if it does not. ~ UDScott 22:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

That's fine, but without those words being sourced somewhere (for example cited in a newspaper or magazine article), there is no way to prove that he actually said them.

How to enter the person description when there's also a page on Wikipedia?

Hi Scott! I noticed you have helped redirect the two pages I created (Chris Anderson and John Kotter). Thanks! I keep doing this wrong :-( When I create a new page that is also on Wikipedia, how do I write that first bit where you describe the person and "redirect" it? I went into the editing window of the page itself but for that first bit I can't see the text...Thanks! KS 05:10, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I completely get your question, but to redirect a page, you just need to use the following: #REDIRECT[[xxxx]], where you fill in the xxxx with the target page. As for the introduction where the person is described, that is usually taken from the wikipedia page (usually a shortened version of the WP intro - no more than a sentence or two, since if someone wants to know more, they can simply go to the WP page, which is linked. Hope this helps! ~ UDScott 00:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wikiquote interlanguage communication

Hi, I'm Nemo from the Italian language Wikiquote and I'm writing you (via a bot) because you're an administrator of Wikiquote in this language; please excuse me if you've received this message more than once.
The simple thing that I want you to know is that Wikiquote has an official mailing list, Wikiquote-l, which can be used to communicate and discuss matters which interest all Wikiquotes. This mailing list was last "advertised" about three or four years ago, before many of us joined Wikiquote, and is currently almost not participated at all by Wikiquote users and very low-traffic. I ask you to subscribe, to participate in discussions and to write about your Wikiquote.
I love Wikiquote, as you probably do, and I think that we should be proud of what we do here, share our experiences and good practices to make Wikiquote better and raise awareness of it.
I remind you that Meta-Wiki is the best place for Wikimedia projects coordination, and it contains several pages about Wikiquote, and specifically this talk page which can be used to discuss about Wikiquote if you don't like mailing lists.
I hope that this message has been useful for you. Cheers, Nemo (write me) 10:12, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Uri Meiselman

Hey Scott, Not sure what else do I need to do in order to keep the new entry I have made on Uri Meiselman. He's not the biggest star in Israel, but he does appear in Hebrew Wikipedia under his Album entry. http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%9E%D7%A7

My PROD tagging was based on my inability to verify the quote or the notability of this person. That's not to say that I am not wrong on this (which is why I used PROD instead of outright deletion). What is needed is a better source - a link to a site in English would be ideal. See if you can find something like this and then the tag can be removed.

I hope it is now "eligible" to "stay" on Wikiquote because Joe really deserves a page here. I'm sorry if I made you work hard, but I'm new to Wikiquote style and formatting. From now on I will follow the formatting style and layout of Joe's article.
Once again, thank you so very much!!! –pjoef (talkcontribs) 17:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

No problem - it was actually a well thought out page and will surely stay now. I just tried to clean up a little bit of the redundancy in the sourcing notes and make it a bit more visually appealing. I also removed the bibliography section (not that what was cited is not good, but rather that it is better placed on his wikipedia page than here). Thanks for your work in resurrecting the page! ~ UDScott 19:06, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
