Infrogmation



I am a New Orleans who started contributing to Wikipedia in September of 2002, became an Wikipedia:Administrators in February of 2003, and a year later became Wikipedia's 7th Wikipedia:Bureaucrats. I'm often in the top 20 Wikipedia:Most_active_Wikipedians. More about me: User:Infrogmation/Personal info
==Articles I recently created or made major expansions of:==
Ted Shapiro - Pluto Water
== Meet the Wikipedian== I've made many contributions to some of my favorite subjects: early jazz, New Orleans, and MesoAmerica archaeology. I've been making good use of my knowledge of minutiae of early 20th century culture. I've made some contributions concerning geography and history of Latin America, particularly the areas of the Yucatán and northern Central America where I lived for a while. I contributed the majority of the States of Mexico articles, though at writing many have not yet expanded beyond minimal wikipedia:Stub article status. I've been working on improving the pages related to the List of musical events and the List of record labels. I've done fair amount on List of painters and art styles. I feel rather underqualified for some of this (I'm just a guy who likes lookin' at the purty pictures), but hope what I've done will be a useful start to later Wikipedians. I think I cobbled some decent entries on, for example, Alfons Mucha and Salvador Dalí. A few of my early contributions were made before I became a logged-in user. Yes, I know, my spelling is poor. Sorry. (Believe it or not, it's much improved from what it was a few years ago.) ==List of articles I started &/or made significant contributions to== See: User:Infrogmation/Articles Additionally, I was also responsible for adding candidates to U.S. presidential election (it previously gave the impression that there always have been and could only be two candidates per election), and contributed the ''Perceptions of Columbus'' section to the contentious Christopher Columbus page. I've helped improve the Louis Armstrong page (which still needs more work). I explained what the phrase Honky tonk meant before it was applied to faux-hillbilly pop music. ==
Images contributed
== These lists are for images uploaded directly here to en.wikipedia. Since November 2004, I've mostly been uploading GFDL and public domain images to the new Wikimedia Commons. Those are listed on [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Infrogmation my page on the commons]. === Public Domain Images === I've scanned and uploaded many now public domain 19th century and early 20th century images from my collection. These images, most previously never availible on the web, illustrate hundreds of Wikipedia articles. Finding, scanning, and uploading them is one of my contributions to Wikipedia of which I am most proud. List: User:Infrogmation/Public domain images This list is incomplete. Others illustrate entries in the list of record labels. I do not include public domain images found elsewhere on the web (such as on loc.gov) in this list, though I have uploaded copies of a number of those to Wikipedia as well. === Public Domain Maps === Old maps I've scanned help illustrate: Campeche State, History of Africa, History of Central America, History of the United States (1865-1918), Provinces of Cuba, Yucatán === My Photos === I've also have uploaded some photos I've taken myself for use in various articles. Listing: User:Infrogmation/My photos ==

: This is the talk & discussion page for user User:Infrogmation == Archives == Old discussion moved to archives: User talk:Infrogmation/Archive March April 05, User talk:Infrogmation/Archive Jan Feb 05, User talk:Infrogmation/Archive6 (November-December 2004), User talk:Infrogmation/Archive5 (September-October 2004), User talk:Infrogmation/Archive4 (May - August 2004); User talk:Infrogmation/Archive3 (January - April 2004); User talk:Infrogmation/Archive2 (August - December, 2003); and User talk:Infrogmation/Archive1 (oldest, October 2002 - July 2003). Please add new disussion at the bottom of the page. Please sign comments. ---- == May 2005 == == Burt Reynolds == So you say Burt Reynolds is an United States actor. That's okay I have no problem with it. I just need you to stop an anymonous user 206.201.180.226 from changing it to "American actor", because I've been changing it back to "United States actor" which is more accurate than "American actor", so if you need any proof on the accuracy of "United States" instead of "American" go to the alternative words for American page. User:Heegoop, 12 May 2005 (UTC) == Chicleros in Yucatan == During your stay in Yucatan what did you find out about the chicleros? Since Yucatan was used a prisoner dumping area by the Mexicans, they were forced to collect chicle and then have it collected by buyers at annual events of unmitigated savagery to each other, according to legend. This is why until even the 1960's the Yucatan was not a major tourist destination other than the island of Cozumel. The Mayans of this area were also a tough bunch, traditionally messed with and I'm sure because of the chicleros. == Public domain images copied to Commons == Thanks for raising this subject-- I have loaded a number of PD images too. Your comment leaves me inclined to gather them up and upload them to Commons myself, before someone else does. Somehow it seems as if there should be a better way, but it's one solution. User:Mwanner 17:14, May 16, 2005 (UTC) == User:169.244.143.114 == This user recently vandalized [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Judicial_activism&curid=502075&diff=0&oldid=0 Judicial Activism]. It is believed that s/he is not the only user of the IP, but you said s/he should be blocked if vandalism continues. It has. Thanks for cleaning this up. User:harry491 User_talk:harry491 15:55, May 19, 2005 (UTC) == Crossbar latch == I saw that back in March you removed the month-old copyvio notice from Crossbar latch and restored the article, but I couldn't see how the possible copyright issue was resolved. Do you remember? --User:Zigger User talk:Zigger 17:19, 2005 May 22 (UTC) : IIRC, it was declared okay on WP:CP; for some reason I'm not able to load the history for WP:CP for 2/3 March to confirm this right now. -- User:Infrogmation ==Bleedy post on my talk page== Please do something for God's sake. You are an administrator. Read this guy's post on my talk page from today. "Keith, I was not vandalizing your page. I made a communicative entry, in response to some of the ideas you have told me about (in this wiki environment, as well as through private emails), and I have every right to express myself, regardless of your slander. BTW, I have no idea who Daniel C. Boyer is. If anything, Keith, you have been attacking me and hurting my feewings. That's a wiki-nono. Oh, almost forgot, Francine Wigdor, Keith Wigdor's mother, recently shipped a crateload of fossilized coprolite sculpture from her frustrated son's prized collection, directly to my NYC studio. I think a mentioning of this in the Staten Island article might be apropos. Thankyou in advance for your comradely contributions and constructive intellectualism. --Bleedy 21:31, 27 May 2005 (UTC)" If you do not stop this guy from harrassing and badgering me, I will keep posting all his harrassing posts here, to show to the rest of the Wikipedia community that you do not uphold policy. You do monitor my talk page, yet you let this guy abuse the shit out of me. I will fight back, if you refuse to correct this problem.User:Classicjupiter2 02:06, 28 May 2005 (UTC) : I find some of Bleedy's comments snarky, rude, and juvenile. I find some of yours just as bad. Again, I have no interest in taking sides in your petty little surrealism (or "surrealism influenced") clique war. I wouldn't mind blocking you both if that's what you think would be appropriate, but I fear you all would just come back again from another ip#. As to serious advice, I'd urge you to try to write calmly and rationally and not to be quick to decend into the gutter even if someone else is. I doubt I'll see you following it, but hey, free advice, take it or leave it. -- User:Infrogmation 15:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC) Your advice is completely useless. You seem so quick to respond, yet you do nothing, even after the fact that I told this guy that the badgering between the both of us will cease and he keeps coming back to abuse me. If he comes back to abuse me again, I will keep posting his comments on your talk page to prove to the Wikipedia Community that you are useless as an administrator. You do not even give this guy a warning. I never brought you into any surrealism conflict, you decided to involve yourself and you admitted to me that you do monitor my talk page, yet you do not even give a warning to this guy, even after I tell him that all bickering, badgering, and conflict will cease and he still keeps up with his bullshit. You are totally useless as an administrator.User:Classicjupiter2 17:38, 28 May 2005 (UTC) Carlos, do you work part-time as a DJ?User:Classicjupiter2 17:43, 28 May 2005 (UTC) : Okay then. Since you insist so vehemently, I've blocked both you and Bleedy. Ciao, -- User:Infrogmation 20:21, 28 May 2005 (UTC) == Heywood == Sorry about the Heywood thing was just trying to convince a friend to use Wiki pedia... was hoping he would update the article before anyone spotted the nonsesne addition. Nice work on catching it so quick though! : Wow! I dont think you were talking about the Heywood, Victoria page were you.. you were talking about Niggas vs Black People page werent you.... it appears multiple people use this IP.. User:202.7.176.133 17:26, 29 May 2005 (UTC) ==tagging== Thanks for the heads up about image tags. After uploading a few images as a new user a couple months ago, have attended to editing articles instead; mastering nuances of image tags proved a tedious task. Since then, a couple of images have been uploaded, but only after permission was received. Could you review the attempt at tagging for this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:William_G_Steiner.jpg image] ? == June 2005== == my talk page == please do not alter the comments people have made on my talk page, even if they are idiots. thank you. --User:Bucephalus User talk:Bucephalus 10:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) : Okay. I only reverted it as part of reverting a vandal who had altered other people's comments, but I'm sure you can take care of vandals on your talk page yourself. Cheers, -- User:Infrogmation 15:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==your thought?== I have uploaded my own photographs of noteworthy people, like Sibel Edmonds and Daniel Elisberg, also some of my own original CAD work like this MIG gas metal arc welding cutaway view... However, I see a lot of buzz around the question of whether they are noted clearly enough as "free use" (my intention by uploading them to the wiki.) I'm still new here and haven't see exactly where I'm supposed to make this clear enough. I hit the "I indicate" button, and even try writing my intentions where I think most prominent... where do you think I should be writing, or best affirming my intentions? User:TTLightningRod 18:39, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Geronimo revert== hi. i didnt understand your Geronimo revert. Was this vandalism?. thank you. — User:Ish_ishwar  User_talk:Ish_ishwar 22:37, 2005 Jun 5 (UTC) : Of my two recent reverts of that article, one was to remove the additon of an irrelevency (I presume a newbie test) and the other to remove the additon of an interwiki link to a non-existant article. Ah, I see that sv now has a Geronimo article, but contrary to proper procedure, someone added a link to an article not yet written at the time (I've found a fair number of bogus interwiki links added by anons lately). Does this answer your question? -- User:Infrogmation 05:22, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::i see. yes that answers (i was just wondering about the swedish one). have a nice day/night. — User:Ish_ishwar  User_talk:Ish_ishwar 08:11, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC) == Reliefs == Sorry for that. I copied the whole text to a word processor and run a spell-check upon this. The spell-checker suggested relieves and I changed this. I hope the rest of the corrections are OK. --User:Akumiszcza 12:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==From México== Hi, do you speak spanish?? you should try making an article about "Republic of Yucatán"; you could make a really good article... I´m working in , it´s not complete but if you could help with some information y would thank you a lot. I´m new in the wikipedia project so my contributions might be deficient. I saw the article in dutch language too . --User:chibestia 03:54, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Re: Castor Oyl == I marked it as a speedy delete by error. I was under the impression it was to be merged with Popeye with no redirect. I never saw a problem with the article, but it was marked for merging because it was apparently felt that it couldn't be expanded (and after I attempted to expand it). I apoligize. --User:FuriousFreddy 11:55, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) :My apologies too; I saw a speedy delete notice on a blank page, and stupidly didn't check the page history. Still, I see that it's back and looking like a real article, so all's well that ends well. User:Mel Etitis (Μελ_Ετητης)">User talk:Mel Etitis 22:46, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) == 67.171.220.178 talk == Woops. Didn't mean to bump you off there, but I saw an unsigned "test" so I figured I'd just wipe and re-post with a signature. —:Clawson (User_talk:Clawson) 01:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Brux== :Anne Bancroft
I'm sorry Infrogmation, you must remove my content because it is a copyright violation. I took it from the About Marriage site regarding Brooks and Bancroft. If I said NPOV, that was because I was undoing all my other updates I made in the past 3 days. So in summary you have to remove the information about how Brooks and Bancroft met, that she suggested to take the "producers" to broadway and that she was previously married. I don't have 'permission' from About or their writers to use their content. Thanks. -- User:Brux 20:53 11 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::Oz Garcia
Hi. It was Oz Garcia's article that you were flagging me with NPOV not Bancroft. I removed almost all of the offending content on Garcia's site. But I have to ask, if Garcia works with someone like Leonard Nimoy why is that a NPOV violation. I looked at other business articles on wiki and they talk about who that company deals with or bought. Again, I thought what I was writing was okay because it lasted 4 days and I worked a lot on Garcia's site. But no worries. -- User:Brux 00:53 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::New Users
Hi. As for your comment on rough start, you are probably correct. I have to look up what is considered copyright and what is in public domain. But I want to know why new users don't have some kind of alternate page. You put up that page under my talk and I had no idea that it was there. I had no idea of 4 tildas. I couldn't find my way around until everyone started slamming me. Then I had to start investigating things like rules, content, etc. But it sure leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you thought you were doing something right and find out you aren't. I don't really care because the stuff I was putting up is not my real interest, but the ride was rough. Regards User:Brux 04:35, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::::Enough is enough
Unfortunately Wiki allows non-signed-on users to make edits which is a flaw because this tends to cause easy vandalism. Also I can start a new IE session, come back to Wiki and my userid will still be up -- which is a system cookie problem.
As for your communicating something, you have done a fine job of how you guys play in your sandbox. Thanks for the sand in my eyes. Regards -- [[user:Brux|Brux}} 16:02:02, 12 June 2005 ==Steve Sabol== Hey, just to tell you, I purposely stuck in an edit summary of ''work in progress'' as I was in the middle of expanding that article. Could you please look at the summary edits before deleting? Otherwise, keep up the good work. User:SasquatchUser_talk:SasquatchSpecial:Contributions/Sasquatch 23:26, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC) : I think I caught that one just between the anon substub and your first additional edit. Glad it's taken care of now. Cheers, -- User:Infrogmation 23:31, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Please do not vandalize my user page.== Please refrain from vandalizing my user page. That is all.User:Enviroknot 00:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) : I didn't and wouldn't. I reverted an anon vandal. Cheers, -- User:Infrogmation 00:21, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::You reverted to the vandalized version. Whoever they were, they were doing me a service, as you can see by the number of times I've had to revert vandalism by Yuber, Mel Etitis, Mrfixter, and the rest of Yuber's sockpuppets.User:Enviroknot 00:58, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) hi, can i contact you, via aim or email? i would like to talk pleas, my artical was a candidate for speedy deletion, but didnt qualify thanls, User:Chipwizme 00:39, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Did you know? == {| class="Talk-Notice" |- | |:Template:Did you know has been updated. A fact from the article Doc Cheatham, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on :Template talk:Did you know. |} ==Image deletion== I apologize 100%, you are correct. The explanation at the template was different than what is posted in the template. What do you suggest I use. It was not created by me, but is in the family scrapbook, which I hold the copyright to. ~~ ==User:ScapegoatVandal== Hi Infrogmation, you're the first admin I could find on WP:RC. There is a vicious character going round who has violated the 3RR and has been hurling personal attacks at people on Talk:Circumcision and elsewhere. Would you kindly ban this character? User:Jfdwolff | User_talk:Jfdwolff 19:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Never mind, User:Gamaliel dealt with it. User:Jfdwolff | User_talk:Jfdwolff 19:30, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Mood Indigo == Reviewing my contribs & some history, i find that i probably noticed, in work related to Indigo (color), that MI then redir-ed to L'Écume des Jours, & perceived that as absurd. I expect i searched the phrase internally, noted that Duke Ellington (whom i couldn't, from memory, have IDed as related to it) didn't say much, and probably googled w/o consulting 1931 in music. I would probably have have screened the hit-contexts for likelihood of being helpful, and used the first hit, among those, that had as much info as i put in the stub. I would have read no further, nor evaluated the reliability of the source i used, before writing the stub. So while i expect the info i added was out there at that time, i doubt i would not see any reason for defending my one source over your source or sources.
But thanks for your courtesy in consulting me.
--User:Jerzy·User talk:Jerzy 02:06, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Wikipedia:U.S. Southern wikipedians' notice board== I have now reopened the notice board, if you are interested in contributing new topics, or in nominating articles for the Collaboration of the Week, which also received a revamp. Please post on the project's talk page if you show interest. User:TheCustomOfLife 02:44, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC) == Problem with Article Heiko and Selina Niedermeyer == In german Wikipedia the VFD-dicussion for this article was just deleted by someone named ''MarsTheGod'' [http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:L%C3%B6schkandidaten/13._Juni_2005&action=history] I want write and read articles and I do not loose time on any war. Its certainly a art to sell art that is not recognised as art. We should have an eye on it User:80.108.45.253 18:51, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) - correction, the vandalism of deleting was not done by MarsTheGod but by IP 84.135.45.1 User:80.108.45.253 17:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
