Hello Arbor to SJ. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion ofFile:San diego state.gif, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern:Two criterion were not met: "which is on Wikipedia", and "all inward links have been updated".

What's your source for this? It's clear his hometown (where he lives) is Pasadena, Texas from multiple sources, but that isn't a place of birth. Some sites, like RealGM.com are not useable for place of birth because they take the hometown from college bios and put it in a place of birth field.

Template:Infobox basketball biography uses modern school names across the board in the "College" field. This was to eliminate confusion about who attended which school. If you look atBob Kurland, you see he's from "Oklahoma State" when the school was "Oklahoma A&M" at the time. In the player/coach history it uses historical names.Rikster2 (talk)10:11, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello -When you are updating college basketball coaches' info could you stop adding their university to the "alma mater" field if they were college players and the info is already in the "player years" section? It's the only place where the same info ends up getting listed twice when this happens. I am not sure if other sports treat this differently but for basketball coaches we don't do the duplicate thing. Thanks for your work on these, by the way - very helpful!Rikster2 (talk)22:48, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rikster2 - what about for those coaches who played CBB at one university then got graduate degrees at another?Arbor to SJ (talk)22:52, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'd ask how relevant really Masters degrees are for coaches. Many pick them up at a coaching stop, but they don't mean much to their career. The infobox is really meant to give the most important details for these folks. But that's just my take. The bigger concern is putting the same info into an infobox twice.Rikster2 (talk)13:27, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey - myAdrian Oliver revert was mainly to start a conversation about this. There has never been a consensus reached about country being listed after team names. There have been many discussions, but none have ended in a real consensus either way. I have been removing these lately for the following reasons:

1. They clog up the infobox, especially is the team or country name is long. Infoboxes are condensed space and we need to make choices about what they include. Adding country/league is somewhat useful, but at the expense of clean use of white space.
2. They are very American-centric. Country is used instead of league in envy case except US minor leagues. But if you start to list league instead of country then you end up with a lot of leagues no one knows and it doesn't accommodate promotion/relegation which is common in European leagues.
3. There are many cases where a player only plays in one league their whole career. 5-6 entries of "Greece" looks pretty stupid. But if you remove some and not all you lose consistency.
4. They have become a crutch for not writing a full article. A number of articles are stubs that don't document player movement. A good article should talk about each team, where it was and how they performed. Do this and you don't need country in the infobox. The Oliver article does this quite well in my opinion. It really doesn't need the parenthesis.

Just my opinion, if you feel strongly about it you can re-add these to the article and I won't remove them. I will, however, continue to take them off other articles. Thanks for hearing me out.Rikster2 (talk)22:27, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you add a citation inDavid N. Arseneault‎ for his middle name being Norman? Thanks.—Bagumba (talk)08:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For your recent move ofDavid N. Arseneault, hiscurrent profile at Grinnell lists him as "DAVID ARSENEAULT JR.", as does theirpress release of his hiring. Also,David N. Arseneault has only 8 hits on Google News vs99 for David Arsenault Jr., soWP:COMMONNAME would seem to be "David Arseneault Jr." Would you reconsider moving the article back?

Hi. I'm curious as to why you didn't simply citethis source for Jonathan Gibson's middle name in the first place? You are a long-time, experienced editor, yet you still make unsourced additions with no explanation or edit summary. I have reverted you a number of times in the past for adding middle names without citing a source. I left yourmiddle name addition to Jarrod Uthoff after I google searched "Jarrod Reed Uthoff" and foundthis, which is where I assume you found "Reed". The most common source for NBA middle names is basketball-reference, so when you added "Mychal" to Jonathan Gibson, I checked basketball-reference and could not verify that, so I reverted you. It's quite simple: cite your source. Link it in the edit summary at least – I shouldn't have to inform you of this, but here we are. I don't particularly deem scoresway.com to be the most reliable source, but I will leave it for now.DaHuzyBru (talk)04:12, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DaHuzyBru: - I was a bit lazy and assumed a google search would be good enough. By the way, the University of Iowawebsite also lists Uthoff's full name. I also sent these changes to basketball-reference.Arbor to SJ (talk)05:09, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, there is no consensus to add be,ownthe second round here. This is huge template creep in my opinion. I think you need to get consensus for this because we already have problems with people adding non-NBA players to draft articles.Rikster2 (talk)13:31, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, when you convert a jpg or png to svg, there will be extra layers that need to be removed as well. Usually the last layer of each color is the best/cleanest layer. You can see the example by viewing the SMC logo:old version vs. thenew version. I would also recommend optimizing the files which will reduce the coding.

Hello, Arbor to SJ. As one of Wikipedia's most experienced editors, Would you please consider becoming aNew Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time butit requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly readthe tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. —Insertcleverphrasehere(or here)22:22, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't undone this, but can I please ask that in future you discuss these sorts of moves? Initialisations is a bit of a tricky area, because it was usual for newspapers in this time period to refer to 90-95% of people by their initials (provided they had more than one), but subsequent sources have not necessarily followed suit. (WP:COMMONNAME refers to their common namenow as much as their common namethen, which is why we have an article atWilliam Shakespeare and notWilliam Shakspere.) It's often been an issue of "house style" - if you've read thePeople's Choice series on New South Wales elections, for example, they've made the decision to refer toeverybody by initials, even people who are very clearly known by other names. In newspapers of the time you will see lots of references toR. G. Menzies,S. M. Bruce, andJ. A. Lyons. In general, where there is not overwhelming evidence that someone is knowneven today by their initialisation, we have tended to go with either first name or full name.Frickeg (talk)04:46, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good advice, I've reverted my move.Arbor to SJ (talk)07:50, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the future please DO NOT delete the list of affiliates as you did in Bloomberg Radio. It is relevant to the article and is not considered a violation of Wikipedia: Is not a directory because the fact that ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, iHeartRadio, Entercom Communications, Univision etc... etc.. all have separate articles listing their owned and operated and independent affiliated stations. Next time please check first by leaving a message on the talk page of the article you wish to edit otherwise if you don't you could be marked as a vandal and have your editing privileges either temporarily or permanently revoke which is something I don't wish to see happen to you. Thank you for your understanding and compliance.YborCityJohn (talk)18:11, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you deleted the gator head logo from a bunch of University of Florida sports articles today and replaced it with a wordmark script "Gators". The only UF sports team that uses that wordmark is the football team, which uses it on their helmets. Using it on articles for other Gator sports programs simply doesn't make sense. And as per theWP:Logos, there really wasn't any reason to remove the main UF athletics logo in the first place. What policy / guideline that supports your edit summary contention that the logo should only be used on top level articles? (BTW, the Florida State sports articles are a different case, as they all use that wordmark.)Zeng8r (talk)23:10, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

HiZeng8r, thank you for your concern. I was wondering why every Florida team article used variants of the Gator head logo with accompanying text, while other individual college sports teams articles generally do not use copyrighted logos. In contrast, I am on the websites of Florida teams such asthe baseball team andvolleyball team and notice an all-caps "GATORS" wordmark used on each site, with the same font asFile:Florida Gators wordmark.svg. Would that be a better choice. considering that the wordmark is also used on Florida jerseys such asfor softball?Arbor to SJ (talk)23:54, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of edit warring and perWP:BRD, you stop reverting after your edits have been reverted and discuss it. There is nothing wrong with having a sports-specific logo on the sub articles. It doesn't violate guidelines. In fact, Dirtlawyer had a pretty long discussion about this back inDecember 2015. The full FFD is listedhere.Corky00:13, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you've been adding a lot of links to songs (video and audio) found on YouTube. While some appear to properly licensed, others do not.WP:SONG#Lyrics and music videos includes: "When linking to a music video on YouTube use only the videos that have been uploaded by the musician(s), the record companies, or Vevo. The official Billboard.com YouTube channel can also be used." It also lists several companies. The YouTube page for the "Breathless" video indicates "The Corrs - Breathless [Official Video]", but includes "Content does not belong to me" and a general fair use statement. The video itself has no credits or other identifiers. (There is a "The Corrs (official)" channel, which has different videos than "The Corrs" channel.) How do you determine which are legit? —Ojorojo (talk)18:10, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops! Didn't notice that. Basically, I try to use only properly licensed videos, from the record labels, the artists' official Youtube channels, or those "auto generated" youtube channels with names "[artist] - Topic".Arbor to SJ (talk)18:52, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen several "[artist] Topic" videos that were uploaded by private parties and not Vevo or the record companies. For example, one "Fly" video included in "Sugar Ray – Topics" has "The lyrics are as accurate as I could make them. It took me a while to do this video so I hope you like it. please comment and subscribe!!! ATTENTION: I do not own, or had any part in the making of this song. All credit goes to Sugar ray and Supercat. The video and lyrics are of my material but not the song." Rather than rely on "Topic" or a similar designation, WP:SONG should be followed, i.e., "use only the videos that have been uploaded by the musician(s), the record companies, or Vevo". For musicians, it may be harder to tell, but videos specifically marked "Vevo" or "Provided to YouTube by Warner Music Group", "Provided to YouTube by Sony Music Entertainment", etc., are a safer bet. Also, if a video isn't discussed in the article, the link should be in the External links section rather than the infobox. —Ojorojo (talk)17:05, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True, because "[artist] Topic" channels display not only the "official uploads" but related fan-made videos too, because those channels try to show every video related to the topical artists.Arbor to SJ (talk)17:36, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I know it's a long time ago, but I wonder if you recall whyMario is the primary instead of the dab page. It seems that such a common given name would outweigh the name of a (even well-known) video game character. Your comment in the move log forMario (video game character) toMario saysmoved ... over redirect (sorry, for now i can't make the main Mario title a disambig page, will go to Req. Moves page to do so). It was mentioned atWT:WikiProject Video games/Archive 79 § List of Mario media and List of sports games in the Mario series. Thanks.—[AlanM1(talk)]—02:47, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Arbor to SJ. Yes, I'd agree that better audio quality is obviously something to be aimed for (although conversely, looking in the visual domain, Wikipedia seems to go out of its way to reduce image quality to the lowest possible level). But, as far as I can see, the link you have restoredhere is to a source that may be in breach of Wikipedia copyright policy. Your edit summary also says "... and are properly licensed" What’s your view of the bland statement “Provided to YouTube by Universal Music Group”? You're saying the wording atthis one is definitely not "properly licensed"? Perhaps the wording ofWP:YOUTUBE needs to be made more explicit? I've raised the question atWikipedia:Media copyright questions. Many thanks.Martinevans123 (talk)16:20, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Youreverted my edit, claiming that theBBC ciation supported the claim that his name is "Justin". You are flat out wrong. Go to the BBC article and try to find "Justin" anywhere in it. It's not there. It's possible they updated the article and it previously said that, but if they updated to remove that, then it's likely false information. I have reverted this edit perWP:BLP.

Dear Arbor to SJ

I am part of a research project at the University of Westminster, London that looks at contentious geo-political Wikipedia articles and would like to interview you about your work in Wikipedia. I have noticed that you do not seem to specialize in geo-political articles, however, you have contributed with a significant amount of minor edits to theWar_in_Darfur article during the 2007-2011 time period. This would qualify you as a peripheral participant and an observer of the article creation process for an extended period of time. I believe your experience would be of great value to my research and I would like to formally request your participation in a semi-structured interview regarding this topic. If you would like to participate, or if you have any further questions, please drop me an e-mail through my Wikipedia profile.

Best regards and thank you in advance.Etchubykalo (talk) 11:50, 5 November 2019 (UTC)— Precedingunsigned comment added byEtchubykalo (talk •contribs)11:40, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In Feb. 2015 I added to the list of notable alumni of Atherton High SchoolBill Bishop, author ofThe Big Sort. A different editor reverted this immediately, noting "Nothing in his bio connects him to school." Recognizing the need for documentation, in October 2016 I dug into the archives of the Louisville, KY, newspapers and found the mention of Bill as an honorable-mention football player at Atherton. Today, seeing Bill no longer listed among Atherton's notable alumni, I found that in February 2024 you deleted his listing with the notation "need a reliable source that the Bill Bishop author also played football at this school." I wonder whether the following might suffice for acceptable restoration. Bill and his wife lived in Texas until recently. This Internet posting from a branch of the Dallas Public Library states that Bill was born in Louisville:| reference 1. This Internet link from the Property Valuation and Administration office of Jefferson County, KY shows that Bill and his wife now own a home in Louisville -- their current residence -- which happens to be not far from Atherton High School:| reference 2. If these two references are sufficient as evidence that the Bill Bishop football player and the Bill Bishop author are the same Bill Bishop, I would like to re-list Bill among Atherton's notable alumni.Canhelp (talk)17:48, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
