User talk:Moby-Dick4000

Hi, could you explain why you would like the page you created Cookbook:Red paella (mixed) deleted please? I know it is a copy of another page you created, but that one has the wrong name and has been redirected to the one you are requesting to be deleted. Is your intention to remove this recipe, or just to tidy things up so there is only one copy? Can I presume Cookbook:Red chicken and seafood paella is the one you want to keep? Thanks Unusual?

 * Ah, I see you have changed it to a redirect now - so no need for a deletion. Thanks. In future you would find it easier if you just moved the page to the new name you wanted. See the information above. Unusual? Quite TalkQu 22:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Paella
Thanks for editing. I went ahead and reviewed the thing, making it visible. Come and grab me if you need more reviews Geoff Plourde (talk) 03:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Sighting
Sighting occurs when a user with the editor flag either edits or ticks the review box for a page. You will receive the editor flag automatically when certain criteria are met. See Reviewer. Geoff Plourde (talk) 03:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello
Please don't spam user talk pages as you did with the notice about WB:RFP - that is considered extremely poor form. Those who care about the request will see it. In any case, no "support" is needed for that request, so the notices are pointless. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 04:26, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Allow me to chime into this conversation. It is considered polite to leave a comment for someone on their talk page as opposed to directly on their user page. Thenub314 (talk) 15:10, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Cookbook name casing
I noticed you moved a recipe to a sentence-case name. Looking through the recipes in the cookbook, I see a lot with title-case names and few with sentence-case names. While books are consistently made with title-case names, I see that Cookbook:Policy states that recipes should be title-case as well. If you have a strong objection to this it may be beneficial to see how others feel on the talk page for that policy or in the reading room, otherwise you and other contributors to the cookbook will be working against each other. -- Adrignola talk contribs 16:13, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm a little confused. Are you saying it's Wikibook policy to capitalize each noun in the name of the recipe page? Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 18:39, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It sure looks to be the case from the Cookbook:Policy page. It does say that the convention is "de-facto" so that may mean that there wasn't a formal process in deciding this.  I would think it came about to match the name casing of the textbooks in the main namespace but this was before my time here. -- Adrignola talk contribs 18:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes I just read the policy. You seem to be right. I'll start using title case from now on. When I have the time, I'll remove the redirects I did that changed the recipe title casing. However, I have noticed many recipes that use sentence casing as I did, so this policy is not very well known among the contributors. Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 19:00, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Copyvio
Hey Moby-Dick4000, Please note that User:Moby-Dick4000/rice is a copyright violation, even though it is in the user namespace. If you're interested in this content, please request for it at WB:RFI and it will be imported here. --Swift (talk) 17:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I deleted this from my userspace but don't understand how this is a copyright violation. Please explain and then import it. Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 23:53, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You are free to create derivative works of content from Wikipedia, just as with Wikibooks. You do, however, have to give proper attribution to past authors/contributors. It's not entirely clear to what extent one has to detail this. What is clear is that simply copying the content over is not an acceptable solution. Furthermore, copying the article along with the edit history is in full compliance. So, we should import whenever possible, and copying is never OK.
 * I've tried importing the Wikipedia article but without luck. Not sure what the problem is but I'll look into it. --Swift (talk) 04:06, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for trying. Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 13:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Puttanesca
Ciao Moby. I am en experienced user of Wikipedia (see wikipedia:user:Attilios), especially devoting to Italian stuff. I've surfed here at Spaghetti alla puttanesca and just made some corrections at the page here. Can you approved them (or let me know your opinion)? Thanks and good work. --Attilios (talk) 08:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I've already done the review and also change the water quantity reference as it was superfluous and wasteful.  --Panic (talk) 08:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Everything looks good, Attilios. Thanks for your input. Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 12:56, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
