Have you read the AMA FAQ?
Answer: Yes, I have.
How would you describe the nature of this dispute? (policy violation, content dispute, personal attack, other)
Answer: It is a content dispute.
What methods of Dispute Resolution have you tried so far? If you can, please provide wikilinks so that the Advocate looking over this case can see what you have done.
Answer: I made a comment on Constanz's Talk page and read over the Joachim Hoffmann Talk page. After I made the comment, a futher revert was made by Constanz.
What do you expect to get from Advocacy?
Answer: I hope to see these two work out their differences. |
Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates/Requests/March 2007/Scorpios | Summary: | Summary:
Joachim Hoffmann seems to have been accused of anti-Semetism, anti-Russian feelings and Nazi sympathizing. Constanz disagrees with this view while 68.60.68.203 supports it. The two repeatedly revert eachother's edits (Very substantial edits, at that). I stumbled accross the page while patrolling Recent Changes. I noticed that an unregistered IP had added over 21,000 characters to the page. Alarm bells went off in my head and I stumbled across a problem much worse than the simple, revertable vandalism I had suspected. Other than a comment on Constanz's Talk page, I have not yet involved myself in the dispute. |

Cultural references to Frank Zappa
– (View AfD)(View log)
Delete - this is an indiscriminate collection of information and a directory, seeking to capture every reference to Zappa in every medium with no regard to the importance or triviality of the appearance in the source medium or the real world. Oppose merging the content back into the main Frank Zappa article. Otto4711 14:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete per nom, some of this stuff is interesting, but not terribly important. Keep as a useful and necessary list. ObtuseAngle 17:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
WP:USEFUL is not a compelling argument for keeping. All sorts of things are useful while still being unencyclopedic. And I dispute that a list of every time Frank Zappa is name-checked in any form of media is "useful." Otto4711 15:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, but that's not what this list is in its entrirety. Zappa has an extensive filmography which is scarcely referenced in his main article, for instance. I agree, it's not noteworthy every time a garage band namechecks Zappa in a song, but that's an argument for editing and sourcing the article, not for deleting it. ObtuseAngle 20:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep Like any artist, his TV/film appearances would go into his filmography, which doesn't exactly belong in Frank Zappa discography or Frank Zappa (length issue). Note that these appearances are not mere cultural references but directly relevant to the man himself, and should be considered separately from this article. If delete, merge it somewhere. All those species and other things named after him are notable; they didn't just name those things after him so the information could be hidden. If delete, merge this last section into Frank Zappa. The song references do need explanations and sources, but each reference is important and non-trivial - how easy would it be to confuse a reference to Frank Zappa for some odd coincidence? This list is quite discriminate; it has a clear scope and will not achieve unmaintainable size. If you cut out the supposedly "trivial" references, then it becomes too discriminate in a POV way. –Pomte 19:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
This article is not a filmography. If it were a properly sourced filmography I would have no issue with it. This is a collection of every reference to the man bunged together. We have deleted similar articles for Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Aerosmith, Rush, Aleister Crowley and others for being similarly bunged together lists. Otto4711 20:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I would say that a collection of every reference to this particular man is quite an encyclopedic subject. Your precedents form an indiscriminate collection of AfDs and a directory, seeking to capture every case that could serve to favor a bandwagon with no regard to the notability of the individual articles. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Beatles trivia (3rd nomination) for a counterexample. –Pomte 00:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
What a cute entry. It was adorable how you took my words and repurposed them to try to discredit the arguments for deletion. Got anything to say that actually pertains to the nomination? Otto4711 04:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
See below for my comment. I would also like to direct you to this page. People will disagree with you ... deal with it (and move on). I know you have valid reasons for not doing a bulk nomination, but when you nominate articles separately, each will be considered on its own merits. As much as I hate the name of that redirect, it can make a point quite strongly: WP:OTHERCRAPWASDELETED is not a valid reason to delete this article unless the articles are identical in nature. Obviously, there is disagreement about the extent to which they are identical. I am also posting a comment on your talk page. -- Black Falcon 03:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep failing that a selective merge. Some of the information is useful enough to be worked into the main Frank Zappa article; like films he has made cameo appearances in, however, films where his music has merely been in the background do not deserve a mention. Some of the stuff in the comic strip section is notable, but it does need references. I don't find the "In songs" section notable, but the "Things named after Zappa" section is indeed very notable - there's not a lot of people that can say several animals, among other things, have been named after them, though some of what's listed needs refs. ĤĶ51→Łalk 20:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
If you thought this belonged in the Zappa article I have to ask why you forked it off to begin with. Otto4711 20:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
That's irrelevant to this discussion. But anyway, I didn't say it all belonged in the Zappa article, I said some stuff could be worked back into the main Zappa article if it is to be deleted. ĤĶ51→Łalk 20:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, it kind of is relevant, since it contradicts in large measure your stated reason for wanting to keep this article or merge any of its contents back where it came from. Otto4711 22:21, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand how it contradicts my stated for wanting to keep the article; I never stated this information belonged in the Zappa article, just that parts of it can be merged if need be. ĤĶ51→Łalk 22:38, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Strong keep. A misguided nomination. The whole :Category:In popular culture exists, to strip various articles off huge "Trivia" sections. `'mikka 00:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
WP:BHTT and WP:AVTRIV. If the best or only reason for an article full of trivia is to keep it out of the main article then the trivia article should be deleted. The solution to crap information in an article is to delete it, not fork it off and make it into someone else's problem. Note that a number of "...in popular culture" articles (including the ones I linked above and many others) are being deleted. Otto4711 04:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
A number are being kept. –Pomte 00:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Most are being deleted. Otto4711 21:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep - people have already started referencing this, this is our chance for an encyclopedic article on the subject. Also, per WP:LIST - information and navigation. - Peregrine Fisher 10:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
And again, WP:LIST is not the end-all be-all. If a list is otherwise unacceptable, then letter-perfect conformity with WP:LIST does not save it. Otto4711 15:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
It's not indisciminate. It's about Frank Zappa and relted cultural references. - Peregrine Fisher 18:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
And the Hendrix list was about Hendrix and cultural references. Deleted as indiscriminate. The Who list was about the Who and cultural references. Deleted as indiscriminate. The Aerosmith list was about Aerosmith and cultural references. Deleted as indiscriminate. The C96 list, the Semtex list, the Calvin and Hobbes list, and on and on, all lists about the subject and cultural references. All deleted as indiscriminate. Otto4711 20:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Then do a bulk nomination to settle the matter. This stand-alone nomination implies that we should analyze the importance of this particular article only. –Pomte 00:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Not every pop culture article is as poor as this one. A mass nom would get bogged down and would accomplish nothing. Otto4711 04:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Merge Not every reference to him needs to be mentioned. Whatever's notable can go in the main Frank Zappa article. Chevinki 21:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
First, we would need criteria for which items is notable and explain why the ones leftover are not. –Pomte 00:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep While the current version indeed is unsatisfactory, I find lot of the information useful. I guess this is not the place to discuss the justice of other similiar pages being deleted. We should focus on this one.(I could, but won't, come up with lots of examples of articles on Wikipedia that should be deleted but are not - this is also irrelevant here.) The article could in my opinion be a nice piece about the influences of Frank Zappa on media and society in general. I will be happy to help out when time permits. --HJ 09:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
WP:USEFUL is not a compelling argument in favor of keeping an article.Otto4711 21:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Point taken. Then just stick with the rest of my entry, and forget about this bad word. As I see all the guidelines, they are all rely - to some extent - on subjectivity in the end. Well, I think the article is worth improving istead of deleting.--HJ 00:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep per excellent reasons given by Pomte and others. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 23:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Having participated in a number of the other "in popular culture" and "cultural reference" article, I can say that none of the lists included such notable things as species being named after a person. A merge may be appropriate, but it is better to determine that on the talk page rather than AFD. -- Black Falcon 03:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Marblehead Light (Massachusetts) | for | Marblehead Light is situated on Marblehead Neck in Essex County, Massachusetts. The current tower is a skeletal structure that replaced the original 1835 brick and wood tower in 1895. It is the only tower of its type in New England; the next similar tower is to be found at Coney Island, New York. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, on June 15, 1987 as number #87001479 under Lighthouses of Massachusetts Thematic Group.
The United States Coast Guard Light List description is "Square skeleton tower; brown to gallery; black above". The actual light is above Mean High Water. Its fixed green light is visible for . thumb|Marblehead Light 1-19-2024 |
Marblehead Light (Massachusetts) | History | History
In August 1831, the townspeople of Marblehead requested that a lighthouse be built at the entrance to the harbor. Congress granted the wish and a 23-foot (7m) high tower was built in 1835 and commissioned on October 10, 1835. This tower had an array of ten whale oil burning lamps inside an octagonal lantern.
In 1857, the old lamp system was replaced by a sixth order Fresnel lens and reflectors. Despite the upgrade and work on the tower and associated keepers' house, the tower itself was in a poor condition and by 1893 a new light was requested. The new light was completed in 1895 at a cost of $8,786, the cost being much reduced by using a skeletal frame rather than rebuilding the old tower.
This new light consisted of eight cast iron piles on concrete foundations. The light was a sixth order Fresnel lens with a kerosene lamp. It was first illuminated on 17 April 1896 as a fixed white light. Later in 1922 it was changed to fixed red and then in 1938 to fixed green. In 1960, the light was automated and a new optic was installed.
About from the light are two bronze plaques located where the original light was, one listing the history of the light and the other listing keepers who looked after the light until it was taken over by the Coast Guard:
1835–1860 Ezekiel Darling
1860–1862 Jane C. Martin
1862–1872 John Goodwin
1872–1892 James S. Bailey

Plăieșii de Jos | Infobox Romanian subdivision
| Plăieșii de Jos ( or Kászon, Hungarian pronunciation: ) is a commune in Harghita County, Romania. It lies in the Székely Land, an ethno-cultural region in eastern Transylvania. The commune is composed of five villages: Cașinu Nou (Kászonújfalu),
Iacobeni (Kászonjakabfalva), Imper (colloquially Imper-Doboi or Doboi, Kászonimpér), Plăieșii de Jos, and Plăieșii de Sus (Kászonfeltíz). |
Plăieșii de Jos | Geography | Geography
The commune lies on the banks of the Cașin River and its tributary, Pârâul Primejdios, in a hilly area at the foot of the Ciuc Mountains. It is located at the southeastern extremity of Harghita County, from the county seat, Miercurea Ciuc, on the border with Covasna County (to the south) and Bacău County (to the east). |
Plăieșii de Jos | History | History
The villages were part of the Székely Land region of the historical Transylvania province. They belonged to Csíkszék district. In 1850, they became part of the Udvarhely military region. After the administrative reform of Transylvania in 1876, they fell within the Csík County in the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Hungarian–Romanian War of 1919 and the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, they became part of the Kingdom of Romania and fell within Ciuc County during the interwar period. In 1940, the Second Vienna Award granted Northern Transylvania to Hungary and the villages were held by Hungary until the fall of 1944, when Romanian and Soviet troops regained control during World War II. After a brief Soviet occupation, the Romanian administration returned in March 1945. Between 1952 and 1960, the commune fell within the Magyar Autonomous Region and between 1960 and 1968 the Mureș-Magyar Autonomous Region. In 1968, the region was abolished, and since then, the commune has been part of Harghita County. |
Plăieșii de Jos | Demographics | Demographics

Nordic combined at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 | The | The Nordic combined at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 took place at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 in Sapporo, Japan on February 23, February 25, and March 3, 2007.
Finland, who had won one gold medal in the event since 1950 despite having skiers such as Hannu Manninen and Samppa Lajunen, with a combined 63 event wins and five overall wins in the FIS Nordic Combined World Cup, won the most gold medals at these Championships, with two. However, they could not prevent Germany's Ronny Ackermann from winning his third individual gold medal in succession, thus becoming the first Nordic combined athlete to win three times in succession.
Bill Demong became the third American to win a medal in any event at the Nordic World Ski Championships, four years after Johnny Spillane won gold in the Nordic combined sprint, while the Norwegian skiers, who won three medals and one gold in 2005, failed to defend their team gold without 2005 sprint bronze medallist Kristian Hammer. Austria won no medals for the first time since 1995, with Felix Gottwald being outsprinted for the team bronze and finishing 23 seconds behind the winners in the sprint. The French showed their dominance in the ski jumping part of the competition with a lead in the individual and third place in the sprint, but could not maintain those positions in the cross-country part of the event. |

February 25, 2007 at the Okurayama (HS134) jumping hill and the Shirahatayama cross-country course. The defending champions were the Norwegian team of Petter Tande, Håvard Klemetsen, Magnus Moan, and Kristian Hammer. Finland took the lead after the ski jumping section, having more than forty seconds on the other teams, and led until the third leg of the relay when Tino Edelmann caught up with Jaakko Tallus. Tallus remained on his trail for the entire race, sending Hannu Manninen and Björn Kircheisen out in the final leg. Like in the sprint, Kircheisen remained in the hunt for two thirds of the race, but lost contact on the final climb. Austria and Norway had already settled for bronze on the second stage, a battle eventually won by Norway.Results after ski jumping part of competition. - Accessed February 25, 2007.Eurosport.com news on Finland's victory. - Accessed February 25, 2007.Official results of 4 x 5 km team event. - Accessed February 25, 2007.

Crichton, Midlothian | short description | Crichton is a small village and civil parish in Midlothian, Scotland, around 2 miles (3 km) south of Pathhead and the same distance east of Gorebridge.
The second element of the name is clearly from the Old English word tūn 'farm, settlement'.Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html). The first element is less certain, however, and could be from Gaelic crioch 'border' or Cumbric craig 'rock'.Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html).
To the west of the village is the 15th-century parish church, formerly a collegiate church, established by William Crichton, 1st Lord Crichton, the Lord Chancellor of Scotland from 1439 to 1453. To the south of the church is Crichton Castle, begun in the late 14th century by William's father John de Crichton and featuring a fine 16th-century Italianate courtyard façade.
The civil parish has a population of 1,223 in 2011.Census of Scotland 2011, Table KS101SC – Usually Resident Population, publ. by National Records of Scotland. Web site http://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/ retrieved March 2016. See “Standard Outputs”, Table KS101SC, Area type: Civil Parish 1930 |
