From list of people youngest in their field[edit]

Note: Many Wikipedians do not even know what "field" means in this context. Granted this place is by/for teenage boys to some degree, but I got a laugh out of that.--T. Anthony (talk) 01:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The eccentric list[edit]

T Anthony, could you please again have the eccentric list? I would be interested in starting some of the articles. Editorofthewiki 14:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. It did look too bare once I removed that stuff. I'm moving most of it to an archive.--T. Anthony (talk) 14:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if you could ask the deleting admin I would also like you to recreate the other lists. Pehaps you could move them to my talk page as I am interested in creating such articles. Editorofthewiki 00:44, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You can check Talk:T. Anthony/Archive 8 for some of the "in the news" deals. Or do you mean like the African list and the Women's list? I was a bit bummed they got deleted as well. I don't know how to deal with admins though, is there like a special protocol or something? I'll ask the guy/gal who deleted them though.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well the other old lists are back so you can check them out. I did remove a few names, but I hope that doesn't bother you.--T. Anthony (talk) 04:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A book by John Huddy about Jose Vigoa becomes something of a hit.[7][8] Vigoa's 2000 rampage caused him notice in Clark County, Nevada.[9]--T. Anthony (talk) 03:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Brazil[edit]

I'm considering joining this. Interestingly it's not because I'm that interested in Brazil. It's just that it's the fifth most populated nation, but seems pretty poorly covered. (Exempting maybe coverage of Brazilian athletes) Indonesia is maybe even worse covered, but that seems a tad more understandable as their language is more unrelated to ours and harder to find translation sites for. Also Indonesia has fewer Internet users per-capita.[10]--T. Anthony (talk) 03:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Science fiction writers[edit]

Considering the demographics of this place the coverage of Sci-Fi/SF writers is not exactly great. Maureen F. McHugh's article is pretty much a stub. She's fairly major and even had a blog. Nancy Kress's article is kind of mediocre, but she's one of the most critically successful SF writers of the nineties. On the more populist/media side Roger MacBride Allen seems to have a better article in German than the one in English and there was no Michael Cassutt article until I created one a few weeks ago.--T. Anthony (talk) 12:29, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carlos Minc[edit]

Hello T. Anthony! How are you? I saw the name of Carlos Minc on your talk page and I created the article. Thank you! Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 08:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I'm okay. In my little town we have a big parade on Memorial Day weekend and kind of a celebration. I saw the parade, but slept through most of the rest. Thanks on Minc. I've long been interested in improving coverage of the developping world and it's good to get help on that.--T. Anthony (talk) 08:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am not from the west. I would also like to improve coverage of the developing world. I have created more than 100 articles and I want to create more articles related to the Third World countries. Where do you live? Are you from the English speaking part of the world? Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 13:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm from the United States. I've never been outside the US or even in a state that borders Mexico. However I've been interested in other countries and cultures since I was quite little. I also took a year of Chinese and I have an aunt who lived in Sri Lanka.--T. Anthony (talk) 14:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are from the English speaking part of the world - the United States. I am interested in the United States. I have studied about the American history and culture. You are a friendly person. I like you. You are probably older than me. I am young. I hope we will meet again. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's nice of you to say. I'm 31 years old, which does make me a bit of an old man for Wikipedia. (They removed age categories, but most people were in "born in 1981" or later) Anyway thanks again, maybe you can check out some of the lists of red-links I've done. I'm thinking of making a specific one for Brazil or Latin America.--T. Anthony (talk) 03:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are not that old! By the way, I am younger than you!! I really enjoyed talking with you. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 06:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I just created a Brazil list. I might expand it some more this weekend.--T. Anthony (talk) 08:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Brazil list? I couldn't find it! Masterpiece2000 (talk) 04:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at your user page. It is at the top of your talk page! Masterpiece2000 (talk) 05:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Center of Wikipedia[edit]

When you discount articles on years/lists the center of Wikipedia is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the United Kingdom.[11] I say "unsurprisingly" for a couple reasons. First, despite complaints of American spelling, Wikipedia covers Britain quite well. It's rare that I discover a "missing British person" on Wikipedia and cricket-related lists are featured more often than basketball or baseball lists. (NFL lists are frequently featured, but American football links to the rest of the world less than British cricket) Second many inexperienced Wikipedians create US-related articles that don't include internal links. Third America is federalized so more likely to link their people and things to individual states bypassing any link to the US article.--T. Anthony (talk) 21:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy Vio[edit]

No, you're recently created article was not a copy vio. StewieGriffin! • Talk 09:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I always worry I'll accidentally do that. The one time I got accused of it I hadn't ever even seen the article I was claimed to have "lifted" phrases from, which maybe makes me even more nervous.--T. Anthony (talk) 12:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Obelisk of São Paulo[edit]

Thank you for your contributions. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 12:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I'm just glad you made it. Obelisks are kind of neat and I'm pleased that the Brazil red-list has gotten so much attention. Also I see Carlos Minc made it to "Did you know?" Good job!--T. Anthony (talk) 12:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Masterpiece2000 (talk) 12:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome.--T. Anthony (talk) 12:52, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jazz[edit]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that my jazz worksheet has finally been scuttled. I think that I am more or less done with ferreting out jazz articles, unless I happen across obvious gaps. At this point, I think there are now articles on most dead American jazz musicians of serious consequence (and by that, I suppose I mean maybe 80% of them). If you happen to find anyone that you think really needs an article - especially dead musicians and record labels - let me know and I'll pull the guns back out. Chubbles (talk) 21:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You did a good job. I appreciate it. I can't think of anyone offhand.--T. Anthony (talk) 01:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Walker (checkers player)[edit]

An edit warrior keeps screwing with your contributions on this page. I have been trying to protect them. John celona (talk) 11:54, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It didn't tell me you left a message, that's odd. Anyway I'm not sure the guy's notable so I AfD'd it.--T. Anthony (talk) 15:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re this mistake: the sequence I use is: 1) tag the article {{AfD}}; this provides a link which I follow to 2) create the AfD discussion; this provides a link "< Wikipedia:Articles for deletion" immediately below the title which I follow to 3) add to the day's log. That way I never mess up a different AfD! — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 16:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Walker (checkers player)[edit]

Could you please take another look at this article? I have added a number of references and I think the article is in much better shape now and I believe it now passes WP:BIO. Thanks Nsk92 (talk) 03:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Torrey Simpson[edit]

Thank you for turning this red link to blue. It was on the very long list of things I hoped to get around to when all the other things were done. I hope you are able to expand it to the point of start for perhaps a DYK. I have to be honest: though I'm glad you did it, the cut and paste of the paragraph from Draining and development of the Everglades makes me feel skeevy. (I went as close to ballistic as I do on wiki when someone cut and pasted two sentences from Mulholland Dr., which I also wrote, into Blue Velvet, which I did not. ) The article cited is an excellent one - I wish I could have put in all the stuff about how he built his house and whatnot. I hope you expand this one, and make the writing your own. Good luck with it. --Moni3 (talk) 02:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. To be honest it was sort of done on a whim. I was looking through pt:Categoria:Botânicos dos Estados Unidos da América for names they have that we don't. Most of the ones they had don't link to anything on Wikipedia, but his did.--T. Anthony (talk) 04:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh and the "cut and paste" deal was a bit lazy of me. Feel free to improve the article using sources, etc.--T. Anthony (talk) 07:38, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Kaye Greville[edit]

Your creation has grown ... Victuallers (talk) 13:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll say, thanks. My uncle's an amateur botanist, but I'll admit I never had much interest in it. I started creating articles like that because it seemed like botany is a bit neglected on English Wikipedia. Anyway thanks!--T. Anthony (talk) 14:08, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wait he was the one that was also an abolitionist, etc. I think he actually did sound potentially interesting to me even then.--T. Anthony (talk) 14:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It was abolitionists Ive been doing ... but I spotted an interesting pic on your list of Africans. See Jean Ralaimongo... I may steal another as I'm getting bored with "dead white guys" Victuallers (talk) 21:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow good job, thanks again.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm almost curious as to why since I don't think I was ever involved in this article or Hilton's. (Or McCain's) I might check it out though.--T. Anthony (talk) 07:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gay-Lussac[edit]

In 2005 you put this [[12]] remark in the talk page about Gay-Lussac. At present I take your contribs. seriously but I haven't a clue what you mean by "In Britain better known as yotta yotta", care to explain?--Damorbel (talk) 06:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was like three years ago and likely refers to an older version of the article. I think I was confused and was thinking they meant "Charles law" was Gay-Lussac's law and I'd never heard that before.--T. Anthony (talk) 07:03, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm a bit hyper about this because there is some very funny physics on Wikipedia.--Damorbel (talk) 14:39, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, T. Anthony. You have new messages at Tautologist's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Do you have access to any sound clips from War and Peace, Andrei Rublev, or Ivan's Childhood, to include in the corresponding articles? Tautologist (talk) 19:32, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I've never even seen those movies, although I may have seeb parts of Rublev.--T. Anthony (talk) 23:19, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

McCain Democrat[edit]

Hi T. Anthony. I was thinking about this article, and I had to ask the following hypothetical: if McCain loses, do you think that the McCain Democrat article will still be notable? I know it's a "what if" question, but I was thinking that perhaps a couple months from now, if Obama wins, the "McCain Democrats" will not have really played a big part in the election, but if McCain wins, we could say the same for the "Obamacans". Just curious what your opinion on this was. Khoikhoi 06:15, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. I think there is some notability because of his popularity with Democrats in the 2000 Republican primary. I'd almost forgotten that, but in a real way I think that's the main notability of the term. The people he's getting now are mostly the kind of conservative Democrats, as welll as "liberal hawks", many Republicans get. Then he seemed to get fairly mainstream Democratic interest.--T. Anthony (talk) 06:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, I had actually forgotten about that as well. In fact, some of what you mentioned is indeed already mentioned in the John McCain presidential campaign, 2000. But we'll see what happens. My only concern about the article was that it seemed to be borderline recentism, but I figure about five months from now we can review the page to see how much of an impact these Democrats played in the election. Khoikhoi 08:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Before I'd considered that element I had floated the idea of merging it with List of John McCain presidential campaign endorsements. Unfortunately I proposed that idea bit late so I only ever got a few nibbles on it. I'm still open to doing that, and having the 2000 info in the 2000 article, but I don't know if there's an urge for that step yet.--T. Anthony (talk) 09:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I made a note on the discussion page questioning the inclusion of Stephen Wenzel in the list. But I'll leave it up to you to decide. I just think that his status as a former Democrat is just a little too former, if you know what I mean. Once you do decide one way or the other, you can remove my comment in the discussion (and this one). Just wanted you to get my two cents.Demesne Lord (talk) 06:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He entered the Bush administration a longer time ago than I thought. However I'm not certain if that necessarily counts as party-switching, see William Cohen. Wenzel was apparently a DFL politician for 29 years.--T. Anthony (talk) 06:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Christians in Science[edit]

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Christians in Science, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? raven1977 (talk) 22:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
