Charles Burchill

[edit]

Hello, can you quote any source regarding your last edit at Charlie Burchill ? Brian W 10:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC) .[reply]


Re: yes, I can try to help with this. So, where did you read it? Anyway, we should ensure that they are catholic adults. Brian W 22:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am aware that Catholic Scots are proud of their Catholic roots, but the point that the source doesn't state their current religious beliefs, would suggest us to be careful before posting anything on this issue. Anyway, if you feel that it's important, feel free to put that information in the article. Bye, and good work.Brian W 16:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds ok to me, cheers. Brian W 16:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Belgium Football

[edit]

Stop vandalizing the Belgium Football team page. The correct names are on [1], stop changing them to non-Belgian spelling ! --15:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Also, RSCA does NOT have an official dutch name, it's only official name is RSCA.

Adding Category:Scottish Roman Catholics to Robert I, or to other pre-reformation people, is not very helpful. What other denominations were there to choose from in Scotland ? Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then I think you can expect some resistance. And Robert Burns was a Roman Catholic ? Surely some mistake. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If there is citable source for Fish being Presbytarian, why not cite it, rather than telling people to go look? personally, I think Fish is no such thing, given his clear lyrical stance on the subject, but I could be wrong, and it is only interpretation.

As it happens, Google reveals no such reference as far as I can divine from a quick search. Cain Mosni 18:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Taking your points in reverse order - daft as it may seem on the surface, asking the man himself is not sufficient: original research. You have to be able to cite another reputable published source that others can also consult for verifcation. If there's a reputable written biograpy, then by all means simply cite that, and Robert's your evuncular relative.

Secondly belonging to what is notionally a protestant community does not make the man a worshipping protestant Christian. It simply means that he was born into a certain segment within the historical social divisions of his community. Further, Presbyterianism is the dominant protestant denomination in Scotland. It's not the only one, so your chain of logic is flawed. Cain Mosni 21:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recreating categories

[edit]

Please stop re-creating categories that have been previously deleted under a similar name. Please stop creating categories that fail to follow the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories) policy.

--William Allen Simpson 02:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi man, what's the deal with the two categories I made myself? I mean, no harm was intended, news were brought in, everything was true and there are proofs of what I was saying, so what?

I need to know why a simple Wikipedian can't create what he pleases unless he tells lies of course...

I'm afraid to say this, but this is the nth time that some of you users act so blindly...

No-one dared telling me I was wrong in creating those categories regarding Cat Stevens, so what's this rude behaviour now? Couldn't you just ADVICE ME? There are so many different ways to inform people and mostly Wikipedians (who are NOT terrorists or bastards, are they?), I don't like this way of warning free and harmless people like me.

Next time think about it a little bit more...Gianmaria Framarin 0:59 17 June 2006

Okay, Mr Simpson, I'll try and do my best, but...

[edit]

Come on, you're so strict!

I joined in this thing called Wikipedia due to passion and only passion, anyone can make mistakes, I didn't read a lot of rules, hoping I'd never get out of any, knowing I generally mean no harm, and then when I failed other people kindly said "you should do this and not that, but okay, have a good time".

Probably they enjoyed the same passion as me and understood the way I made those mistakes? I guess it is.

You did say "please", I felt it was a bit too formal compared to other Wikipedians, that's all. I thought you'd be a bit more welcoming...

What if I saw the history of that page then? Would it EXPLAIN why those categories had been removed? IT SIMPLY DOESN'T! It just says "removed": I can stick to the rules, but that won't stop me from discussing about it: why were those pages so wrong then? ISN'T CAT STEVENS BOTH A GREEK-CYPRIOT AND SWEDISH BRITON? Yes he is.

Any answers?

Remember, we're just discussing. Gianmaria Framarin 3:08 18 June 2006

Not much to discuss. There is ample explanation. In the edit history:
Clicking those links will lead you to far more discussion.
In answer to your false statement, no Cat Stevens is not and has never been a Greek-Cypriot citizen, nor is he notable for being a Greek-Cypriot advocate. Likewise, the non-existant "Swedish Briton". WP:NOT!
Also, please don't type your date and time in your signature line, use the ~~~~ convention instead. You appear to have typed the above a couple of hours in the future....
And please use preview, rather than 4 edits to add one section. That's hard on the servers, and a waste of resources. Next time, think about it a little bit more....

Appropriate behaviour

[edit]
  • I'll thank you to confine your edits to my discussion page, NOT my personal profile.
  • Irrespective of how "passionate" you are, you still haven't provided a reputable citation for Fish being Presbyterian.
  • "Passion" as you call it is no excuse for not stopping to think and not following the guidelines.

In answer to your question what's wrong with quoting answers from your own research? I'll tell you - it's not verifiable by anyone else, except by duplicating your research. Your research has to be taken on trust, which simply isn't appropriate for the quality of information this project is striving to achieve. (See WP:NOR for policy on this subject.)

As I've already said - when you find a reputable citable source for the assertion (which does not include arbitrary, unverified web sites) that Fish is Persbyterian by upbringing, then all's well and good to include it in the WP article about him. Until then, no go... (That's another basic WP policy (see WP:V, in particular the annotation about verifiability, not truth.)

So long as you fail to follow guidelines, other people will simply follow up behind you undoing the damage. This is wasteful both of their time and, frankly, of yours. You accuse "us users" of acting blindly, which ironically is what you are doing as long as you choose to remain deliberately ignorant of policy. It's a shame, because I'd much rather be offering encouragement than than engaging in time-wasting arguments. Cain Mosni 05:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now both of yous please listen

[edit]

To mr Simpson first: WHO SAID CAT STEVENS IS A GREEK OR SWEDISH CITIZEN??? WHO ON EARTH DID THAT??? NOT CERTAINLY ME.

Those categories went under the name "British people of Greek Cypriot DESCENT" and "British people of Swedish DESCENT", so please DON'T PUT WORDS I NEVER SAID IN MY MOUTH, OKAY?

Cat Stevens IS a British citizen of both Greek-Cypriot and Swedish descent, LIKE IT OR NOT, you'd better accept it, 'cos I'm going to state it all again as soon as I WILL WANT TO.

Try and deny that, and you'll be the one who's denying a FACT.

Enough for mr Simpson, for good I hope.

Now up to mr Mosni, I'll be even quicker: do erase Fish from the Presbyterian list, I DON'T CARE A PISS, you're the one who's denying a FACT, I'm sorry.

I know who he is, I should have saved that page where he stated that, and the day I'll ask him and get an answer I'LL POST IT, THEN TRY AND TELL ME IF YOU CAN DENY THAT AS WELL.

Now I hope this stupid thing is over with mr Mosni as well FOR GOOD.

I never meant to be so hostile, but that's where both of yous led me, so please let's end it all right now here ONCE FOR GOOD. I'm not willing to keep discussing about PEANUTS, nor willing to get angry for things only a passionate guy like me can understand. I'll keep them to myself, I don't care about the rest and most of all I DON'T USUALLY GO AROUND PICKING UP A FIGHT WITH OTHER WIKIPEDIANS FOR SUCH STUPID MATTERS, I USUALLY LET PEOPLE DO AS THEY LIKE, BECAUSE I TRUST THEM AND I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID TO WRITE BULLSHIT EVERYWHERE.

I'm LOATHED by your MISTRUST, so please LEAVE ME ALONE from now on, as I'll do with both of yous.

HEY YOU TWO: YOU HAVE NO LESSON TO IMPART TO ANYONE FOR GOD'S SAKE ("APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR"...), WHO THE HELL ARE YOU??? DO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS FOR YOURSELVES AND DON'T COME ROUND HERE ANYMORE, I'M TIRED OF THIS BEHAVIOUR, GO ACTING LIKE TEACHERS ON ANOTHER SITE PLEASE, I'M NOT ACCEPTING LESSONS FROM RUDE PEOPLE AT ALL. A FRIENDLY ADVICE IS A FRIENDLY ADVICE, YOUR BEHAVIOUR IS UNACCEPTABLE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

Now do as you like, do ask for my ban (do you really think I care?), do send me to hell, I'M NOT WILLING TO CARE ABOUT ALL THAT BORING OLD STUFF, RIGHT? THIS THING CALLED WIKIPEDIA IS NOT AS I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE, there's too many people messing around JUST TO CENSOR SOMEONE ELSE'S HONEST WORK (and being honest also means MAKING SOME MISTAKES SOMETIMES, you know, it's human...do you know the meaning of the word?), as if they were "mr know-it-all" and we were stupid idiots, or simply because YOU GUYS CAN'T ACCEPT SOME FACTS FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON. As always, a friendly advice would be more than accepted: yours is just stupid fighting, so GAME OVER, BYE BYE.

Luckily real life is on another planet!

DO NOT ANSWER TO THIS THING I WROTE, PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE, AS WELL AS I WILL IGNORE YOU ALL. IF YOU WILL EVER TRY AND ANSWER TO THIS ONE JUST TO STIR ANOTHER CONTROVERSY UP I'M NOT GOING TO ANSWER BACK, SO YOU'D BETTER STOP IT BEFORE YOU EVEN TRY. I PROMISE.

FAREWELL.Gianmaria Framarin whatever the hour or the day is.

Cat Stevens ancient history

[edit]

Hello - do you by any chance have a citation or recall what your source was for this sentence With interests in both art and music, he and his mother traveled to Gävle, Sweden, where he started developing his drawing skills after being influenced by his uncle Hugo, a painter in Cat Stevens? I haven't been able to verify it and you added it a couple of years ago, so I thought maybe you'd recall where you got it from. Thanks very much. Tvoz/talk 06:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply! We'll try to track it down. Tvoz/talk 08:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I wasn't clear - I wasn't being sarcastic above - I was really saying thank you! I saw your reply on the Cat Stevens talk page and came here to thank you for it - and I appreciate your taking the time and writing on my page too! I',m just trying to find some kind of source to add as a citation. But about the spelling of his original name: yusufislam.com clearly says it's "steven" (see here) so I'm going to stick to that unless another reliable source comes up - it's his own website, after all. Thanks for your help on all of this - sincerely! Tvoz/talk 22:21, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gianmaria

[edit]

I'm still interested in Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam. I am really sorry about other people's behaviour on your talk page, I certainly hope you will not put me in a category of a mean spirited person! Actually, I was hoping to see you return and help. I've so many questions, like about some songs, and such, having discovered so many things in the Magicat.com site that aren't obivous to those who haven't applied themselves with dedication to find them(!) Do you have any knowledge of the (apparent?) co-written song, "Honeyman", that I found both there and on You Tube, with Elton John AND Cat Stevens? It's puzzling me. And any information or sources for Alun Davies; an article which User: Tvoz (a sensible and respectable editor) and I co-started --mostly on my insistence, and it needs some TLC. Seeing him re-appear playing with Yusuf Islam was such a JOY! Hoping to hear from you, with only kindness intended for you and appreciation for your previous contributions! --leahtwosaints (talk) 18:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
