Well...here's my talk page. If anyone has questions about an edit I did, please put it here. --Silver seren 14:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Long time no see ;-) Yamakiri ^T_C § 12-18-2008 • 23:26:14

Hello, Silver seren. You have new messages at Dream Focus's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

What do you define as 'unconstructive' and why was that post 'vandalism'?

I am trying to up date the things Richard has done..not promotion filled.. but actual projects he has been involved in and you keep deleting them.

Following a month-long process of multiple editors to have "Fictional history of Spider-Man" conform to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction), one editor has objected and wishes for the article, which has been the subject of three deletion discussions, to remain as is.

Alternately, the proposed new version appears at User:Spidey104/Fictional history of Spider-Man sandbox.

Your input, as an editor involved in the deletion discussion, is invited at Talk:Fictional history of Spider-Man#Rewrite and replacement. --

Thanks for your support and comments about the School of Practical Philosophy. I'm not quite sure how to cite its federal tax ID and organizational status, but I have the documentation. Christieag (talk) 13:50, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be able to upload the information somewhere so that it is accessible online, if it's not online somewhere already, so that it can serve as a reference? If so, then you can have it written just like the first line of the School of Economic Science, where it states that it is a "registered" charity. You would make a line similar to that for the SPP article and then have the reference attached at the end of the sentence. Easy as pie. :) Silverseren^C 18:36, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll have it uploaded and referenced within a week. Christieag (talk) 17:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I put the reference in on the School of Economic Science article. I didn't realize the NYT article reference had been removed.. what would you suggest as the next step for re-establishing the article? Thanks! Christieag (talk) 19:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First off, adding the NYT article back in as a reference would be helpful. Then, you'll have to go and see what other reliable sources you can find on the School. It needs to have enough reliable sources that cover it in a non-trivial way for us to be able to get consensus to move it back to its own article. Right now, it doesn't have that, as lmost all of the sources for it are to primary sources and not coverage from secondary sources. Silverseren^C 19:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think it's good enough to stand on its own now? I noticed no one else has weighed in for over a week. Christieag (talk) 14:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again! I will get in and edit the SES page. Best of luck with that Yukon Wolf. I thought it was a user at first glance. Christieag (talk) 19:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your help with the cleanup and sources!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. :) I had a lot of fun doing it! Silverseren^C 16:34, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

peversion(from wikipedia) -Perversion is a concept describing those types of human behavior that are a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal

Are you saying that furry doesn't have a sexual connotation?

And don;'t threaten me with a ban.

Doktordoris (talk) 21:22, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have apologised all over the place.

I really meant no offence.

I just thought the info I added was valuable for the sort of reader who only looks at the opening paragraph.

And as I said I use the word pervert for behaviour which the majority find unusual, I meant nothing pejorative.

Doktordoris (talk) 21:40, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for dividing into section this article, however your recent addition regarding the Common Council's vote and allowing for development is not only outdated but incorrect, it was never done. Now I'm sure I have to go back to the Times Union's archives and find the relevant articles explaining this since I'm sure you'll need proof. I have gone through both all of the TU and Gazette's archives, please trust me that it was not developed.Camelbinky (talk) 00:01, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay, well the wording can be easily changed to explain it as a plan and then state that it was never actually enacted. I'm still looking for other sources that can be used. Silverseren^C 00:03, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that it has now surpassed the 1500 count. Thank you for your help.Camelbinky (talk) 00:50, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I just noticed the notification about it on your talk page and felt that I could help improve it. I'm glad I was able to do so. Silverseren^C 00:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alot of times I ignore tidbits that dont seem interesting to me and dont put them in articles, I'm glad to have had a second pair of eyes (and now it seems a third pair too) to find things that ignored. Feel free to look at Hamilton Hill, Schenectady, New York, I just started it and its very preliminary but could use another pair of eyes.Camelbinky (talk) 01:23, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

		The Barnstar of Recovery
		I am honored to present you with the Barnstar of Recovery for your work improving the article Memories of Murder (film) in the face of its pending deletion. Just goes to show just how important a truely diligent WP:BEFORE is to the project. Well done. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! :D Are you our resident barnstar fairy then? Silverseren^C 02:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to give an "atta-boy" to someone who fixed something before I could get to it myself. :) Wanna have a go at 1 a Minute? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:41, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After I finish fixing up Hamilton Hill, Schenectady, New York (see the Woodlawn Preserve section above this section), then sure. I'll see what I can do for it. I've finally finished with all of the Subspecies of Canis lupus, so i'm fairly open right now. Silverseren^C 02:45, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See...? All the time in the world. :) Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How's that then? I think that's all I can do for the article, until more coverage arises. Silverseren^C 03:54, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Very nice. I am still recovering from several shoot days with Tim and Eric... but the results are awesome. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wanna help tweak Imagination (film) or add some additional expansion or citations? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:35, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There. I did a little bit, though you did the majority of the work. :P Silverseren^C 15:09, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many hands make light work.  :) Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:46, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This newspaper article talks about former Mayor Jurczynski moving out of Hamilton Hill shorty after he first got elected as mayor. I was wondering if that was appropriate information for the article or if it could be just needless negativity on an individual.Camelbinky (talk) 17:21, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it could be used as an example of the problems in Hamilton Hill, either in terms of safety of the area or housing issues. It all depends on how you word it, really, it's only "needless negativity" if its written in a negative way. We could just use it as an example and put no weight on it being a bad thing. Silverseren^C 18:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good.Camelbinky (talk) 18:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, your nomination of Yukon Wolf at DYK was reviewed and comments provided. --NortyNort (Holla) 10:55, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...is coming back to haunt us! I thought I'd let you know, since you participated in this WP:VPP discussion, that User:ALXVA has nominated this article for deletion again here. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 19:53, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

		The Teamwork Barnstar
		Though I also went through the article 1 a Minute and gave it some modest expansion and fine-tuning, your own efforts to source the article and show its notability are well appreciated. Nice, nice job Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:45, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

		The Special Barnstar
		Your work in improving the article Mayuri Kango to address concerns voiced at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mayoori (actress) is absolutely phenomenal. Excellent job! Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:06, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thanks. I wasn't expecting you to do that. Silverseren^C 22:14, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When someone makes a concerted effort to make something better, a pat on the back is almost mandatory (chuckle)... specially when a nominator, even if well-intended, shows such a lack of BEFORE.

Yes, you're right I should have looked it up first. The correct method, according to the manual of style, is to make the title "Works". Silverseren^C 14:07, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you have some free time, I would appreciate it if you could glance at a new article Criticism of the Talmud and let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement ... especially to ensure that it is neutral and balanced. And, of course, you are free to edit the article yourself. Thanks. --Noleander (talk) 00:45, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I...I...just...wow. I am so slack-jawed now, you have no idea. That needs to go for DYK immediately and then you need to head straight for a GA status review after the DYK gets through on the front page. After that...well, I think this could definitely get to FA status if you fill out a few sections here and there (which the GA review should hopefully help with). Maybe once it's at GA, you should do a peer review to iron out any kinks before heading for FA. Silverseren^C 01:16, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words. If, later, you notice anything specific that could be improved, please let me know. --Noleander (talk) 01:26, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

... :/ It really wasn't that difficult. Just a simple Google Books search, and I only went three link pages in to find them all. There's way more out there too, the issue is sorting the wheat from the chaff. Silverseren^C 05:54, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the amount stated for the film's production is unbelievably "silly". The film is done on a modest budget - and for a Tamil film - most big budget films don't go above 15 crores. Fans of the lead actor, to promote their favourite actor, indulge in such lowly activities ~(i.e. editing budgets to higher amounts) to make the project seem big. Furthermore the link which it leads to is unreliable, and doesn't mention the amount. Universal Hero (talk) 16:56, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mayuri Kango is a Bollywood actress acted in films like "Papa Kehte Hain". She is very much alive. ^[1]

The actress who committed suicide is the Tamil-Malayalam actress "Mayoori", whose notable movies are "Akasha Ganga , Summer In Bethlehem (Malayalam) and Manmadhan and Kana Kandein (Tamil). ^[2]

Someone got confused and mixed up both the actresses and their movies in IMDB.otos of both actresses and ph

Please see the photos of both and understand that they are two separate individuals.

Anishviswa (talk) 17:28, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to divine, even if it is obvious, from photos that they are two different people would be considered to be original research. What you need to do to prove that they are separate people is to find a reliable source that talks about something Mayuri Kango has done since 2005. Because, suspiciously, I can't seem to find any coverage about her since 2005, which seems to tie in with the whole Mayoori suicide thing. If you can prove, with a reliable source, that Mayuri Kango is alive and has done something since 2005, you'd be good. Silverseren^C 17:32, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My main concern was keeping the original user from blanking the article again. But I've now taken off the page protection and switched it to "revisions require review" instead — so that if he tries that it can be rejected, but worthwhile edits, such as referencing improvements, can still go through. If that still poses a problem, then let me know and I'll figure something else out. Bearcat (talk) 22:29, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For your work on Rand Wilson. I've withdrawn the AfD nomination and a large part of the credit goes to you. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 20:04, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow...um, well, it's a good thing that an article is being kept, that's how I view it. And I wasn't even done with the sourcing. I was only through the first page of results for the 90's when I had to go to class. I guess i'll go finish up with the referencing anyways, since it would be shoddy of me to not do so. So...thanks? I guess. ^_^; Silverseren^C 21:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're too humble. I spend a lot of time referencing articles and am happy to give credit where credit is due. Cheers, --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 22:28, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I somehow skipped page three, didn't see that, I still don't agree with an article, but whatever. Thanks Secret ^account 02:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe the nominator is able to close a deletion discussion that has an outstanding Delete vote. Silverseren^C 02:27, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the original nominator withdraws, then anyone can close the AFD at will, I used to do it when I was an adminstrator, closing nominator withdrawn AFDs after sigificant changes of the article occurs, and that's the case here. Secret ^account 02:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anyways have you ever considered being an adminstrator you highly qualify with all your article rescues. Secret ^account 02:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think article rescues would mean much to those who vote in RfA's. Silverseren^C 03:04, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article work means alot to people who vote in RFA, it shows that you have a clear understanding in policy, especially rescuing articles from certain deletion, I nominated about 30 editors for RFA before, only two failed that I remembered one early on, in October 2005 and one last year. So I have a great track record. Give it a shot. Secret ^account 03:09, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, regardless, I think you should look at my userbox that is 9th down and also take a look at this. Silverseren^C 03:15, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see your userpage, I went directly to your talk, you should really change your mind, the tools can be helpful even if you don't use it much, for looking at deleted versions of articles, block an occational vandal, etc. Ponder it for a few days, we are at a lack of high-quality candidates right now, look at the WP:RFA page, it's empty. You could show them wrong, some adminstrators are caring people. Secret ^account 03:19, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And I perfectly know which adminstrator you talking about, I was against him as well and I tried recalling him before, but instead he removed the recall category. If that's the adminstrator your talking about, he shouldn't have never been a adminstrator in the first place, he had the WP:IRC cabal supporting him, and I strongly opposed his first RFA, I regret supporting the last one because of a promise he didn't commit. Secret ^account 03:33, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had the name in there originally, but a user pointed out that it was defamatory, so I removed it. but you can still see it if you look in the history. And I believe we're talking about the same person. S/he has been featured a lot at ANI lately. Silverseren^C 03:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep that's the one, not all adminstrators are like him though, just ponder though it for a few days, your an instant pass for me anyways. Secret ^account 03:42, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll consider it. Thanks for the support. Silverseren^C 03:46, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know though email, as I retired because of RFA drama associated with me, and with school being affected. I'll come back to do your nomination. Thanks Secret ^account 02:44, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that you had to deal with those horrible comments in your RFA. It's kinda what i'm worried about if I end up doing it. I've heard so many horror stories about things that have happened in RFA's. Silverseren^C 02:48, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yea but it mostly happens when the editor is controversal, I was involved in controversy with my desysopping by ArbCom last December, before that I was fairly controversal, and it didn't help that I was involved in an edit war a few weeks back while defending the status of an FA. That's not the case with you. I'll likely be back, I just need some time off and reflect. Secret ^account 02:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The thing i'm worried about is that there are a number of editors who dislike me personally because of my stance on issues and because I do things differently from them (and because i'm an inclusionist). I can name ten off the top of my head. They might be ones to create controversy if I end up doing an RFA. Silverseren^C 03:09, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DGG is an inclusionist, and he passed his RFA easily, I don't see why you shouldn't give it a shot. Secret ^account 03:18, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. If you have time to help me sort stuff out I have some academic papers which need sifting; I have time to talk but not time to do it all alone. Here are my notes about online sources. If you have not already seen the deleted article then check it out. The discussion about the deleted article is here. What is your interest in this?

I would have emailed you about working together but you seem to not have enabled the option. My email is enabled, if you want to talk or share files. Blue Rasberry 02:41, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would be happy to help you out with the research. What do you mean by "sifting", exactly?

And I would rather keep my personal email away from Wikipedia drama. That's why my email isn't activated. Silverseren^C 02:53, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have something like 20-30 journal articles each about 10 pages long. I pulled them because they seem to be about acts of terror committed related to the promotion or protection of Hindu religious values, but when I came to believe that I would find no source anywhere specifically about the history of Hindu terrorism, I lost some interest in the topic because I did not want to review specific cases. Would you want to see what I have? Why are you interested in the article?

Email goes one way. If you give it to Wikipedia, then I can email you, but I do not get your address. Blue Rasberry 04:32, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That was exceptionally poor timing for starting the RfA, then. Jclemens (talk) 17:06, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the one that did the nomination. In hindsight, which is 20/20 and all that, I should have refused it and then had it done this weekend, but...too late now. I'll do my best nonetheless. Silverseren^C 18:49, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yea your RFA is sinking, some of the concerns are because your an inclusionist and should be discounted by an bcrat, but others are valid concerns. I'll try my best to support you, and if you fail, try again in six months and be a little more careful about sourcing. Secret ^account 19:18, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
