"Cafe Kichijoji de"

The title to this article is mispelled, and is evidenced clearly by the title printed on the cover of the manga featured on the page itself. In my attempt to correct it, I was informed that I was defacing the page. If I am not permitted to fix it, please make sure that someone DOES.

Image:114 hundals.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:114 hundals.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Rette tast 21:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SBC

Hi. I still feel that there is a need for an SBC Communications article, primarily for clarity purposes. Yes, SBC has changed its name to AT&T Inc, but we have to put this in a full, historical context.

I was thinking of having a series on this - starting with AT&T 1885 - 1984, The break-up, the Baby Bells/ AT&T long lines (the primary unit from 1984-2005) and then the most recent article would be AT&T Inc. - each should be edited to flow well and maintain clarity. (New) AT&T Inc should lead with an overview of services without getting into the history details - the history should start with how SBC acquired AT&T (with a See Also, SBC Communications at the top), a paragraph on how this is significant (subsidiary eventually buying its parent) and then the diagram and so forth. The founding/expansion should be kept at the SBC Comm. article.

If you think about it, SBC was a successor of AT&T, and now AT&T is a successor of SBC, meaning AT&T is a direct descendant of AT&T. A quick redirect just doesn't do the trick.

I would appreciate your input on this.

--Jay(Talk) 22:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AT&T (1885-1984) is pretty much covered in the Bell System and American Telephone & Telegraph articles. AT&T covers SBC Communications because SBC did not reincorporate itself when it bought AT&T, hence the reason that SBC should not be a separate page from AT&T. The new AT&T (f/k/a SBC) is an entirely separate entity from American Telephone & Telegraph. Even though it does now own the company, SBC did not undergo a change of management in its own structure when it acquired AT&T. The true confusion with this also lies in the fact that many believe that AT&T bought SBC, which is absolutely not true. Having the SBC page separate from AT&T creates the impression that AT&T is an entirely new company, founded in 2005, which actually is not the case. The disclaimer at the top of the page can redirect users to American Telephone & Telegraph if they are looking for the original AT&T. Another disclaimer in the infobox easily explains the incorporation date of the current AT&T (f/k/a SBC), in case confusion exists at seeing 1983.

Recently, an IP user frequently vandalized the AT&T page (and will occasionally go to American Telephone & Telegraph and do the same) to create the impression that AT&T truly did reincorporate itself in 2005 as a "new" company, which is not the case. AT&T, today, might consist of a lot of the same divisions held by the original AT&T in 1983, but how it came to do this should be included in the same article - why SBC should stay in the AT&T article. A lot of business practices that SBC did were not changed after it bought AT&T.

Similar situations in which a company acquired a well-known company and changed its own name as a result exist with Sprint Nextel and Verizon. In both situations the history of the buying company (with the new name) is included in the article, because the company did not reincorporate itself.

I am opposed to keeping SBC Communications separate from the AT&T article. KansasCity 13:46, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Buddy-Rich2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Buddy-Rich2.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Garion96 (talk) 16:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mountain View

I am not sure who started this renaming of Mountain View, California → Mountain View, California (city) and back again. All I know is that WP:NC:CITY#United States says:

"The canonical form for cities in the United States is [[City, State]] (the "comma convention"). Those cities that need additional disambiguation include their county or parish (for example Elgin, Lancaster County, South Carolina and Elgin, Kershaw County, South Carolina)".

Therefore I reverted your moves of Mountain View, Contra Costa County, California and Mountain View, Natrona County, Wyoming. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

News and announcements

Welcome to the first Baseball WikiProject Newsletter, dated Tuesday, July 15, 2008.
The Article Improvement Drive has been revived. Check it out!
The Outreach department is in the works, please contribute your ideas!

Featured content

In the past month, WikiProject Baseball has had the following articles promoted to Featured Article status:

This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Black ngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept.

News from the diamond

The 79^th MLB All-star Game is scheduled for this evening.
The 2008 Home Run Derby took place yesterday. Justin Morneau defeated Josh Hamilton in the final round, 5 home runs to 3, although Hamilton broke a record with 28 home runs hit in the first round.

From the Editors

Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did.

In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Black ngold29

Ebuyer article

re: Ebuyer I think the article is not well constructed about lots of uncited references. the talk page is even more POV. I dont know enough about the company even though I use them as a customer in order to write a new article. Ive ordered lots of things from them in the past and recently without one serious problem.

Semi-protection for Black or White article

Hi Master Jay, I am Alexanderfriend (the main author of Black or White article) and I waste my time to revert vandalism by many IPs and it is a great problem. Black or White article needs semi-protection, because many IP and some users are doing vandalism. See: Revision history of Black or White

Thanks --Alexanderfriend (talk) 02:52, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there.

I'm hoping I can get you to reconsider the page protection on Black or White. From what I've seen, there is not really a vandalism problem there, but rather a problem with edit-warring involving the above user, who appears to be trying to get a leg up in that war. The article contains numerous unsourced, unverifiable and POV claims, which various users and IPs have been appropriately taking out, only to see their edits restored by Alexanderfriend and tagged as vandalism. For more on this, you can take a look at the edit-war warning I posted to his talk page [14] or the resulting sockpuppet investigation that I had to file shortly thereafter.

On the other hand, there may be actual vandalism going on, but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary for Wikipedia, and certainly not any that would warrant a two-year long semi-protection. I'm hoping you can take a look and re-open the page for universal editing. Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 04:12, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Air photo

I don't understand. There are two pictures. One that is clear, one that is foggy. And you say that the clear photo was when the air was bad? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BeijingSmogComparison-Aug2005a.gif --Jay(Talk) 20:51, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the delay, I was out of the country for a few weeks. In response to your question here, the "foggy" photo was a sunny day (no natural clouds) with smog; the clear photo with high cloud cover (blocking the sun) was after a rain. --Bobak (talk) 05:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would think that after a rain shower the air would be fresh and clean. And this wasn't the case? I find this to be quite fascinating. --Jay(Talk) 16:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, the one on the left was after rain showers (and is thus cleaner), and the one on the right was on the sunny but polluted day. --Bobak (talk) 20:54, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. My confusion stems from the way you described it. You used the terms first visit and second visit, so when you later said that the second photo was on the day the air was poor, I assumed you meant second visit, which you described as the rainy day. See where I am coming from? --Jay(Talk) 16:11, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
