Artikkeli Jani Toivolasta

Ilmeisesti sinulle, Mysid, on jokseenkin hankalaa keskustella seksuaalisista vähemmistöistä. Jos esim. Jani Toivola sattuu olemaan sellainen, miksi siitä ei tulisi mainita? Kyseessä on kuitenkin julkisuuden henkilö, joka on itse myöntänyt olevansa homoseksuaali. Mm. suomenkielisestä wikipediasta löydät laajahkon listan bi- sekä homoseksuaalisista henkilöistä (tämä on sananvapautta!). Mielestäni seksuaaliset vähemmistöt ovat asia, joista tulee pystyä keskustelemaan. Vaikenemisella ei kukaan saavuta mitään. Uskon/toivon, että Suomessakin lopetettaisiin homo- ja biseksuaaleihin liittyvä pelko. Tuntuu siltä, ettei asioista saa ääneen puhua. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.222.200.48 (talk • contribs) 20:16, February 11, 2007 (UTC)

Totta kai asioista saa puhua ääneen. Minusta vain ihmisen seksuaalisuus ei ole asia, joka määrittää hänet; sitä tuskin tarvitsee mainita tietosanakirjassa, ellei siihen ole jotain erityistä syytä. Artikkeli Spede Pasasestakaan ei kerro hänen olleen hetero. Jani Toivola on myös jo luokassa LGBT people from Finland, mikä minusta ajaa asian. Jos haluat erikseen mainita hänen olevan homo, voit kirjoittaa sen hieman pidemmin; Miksi se on juuri Jani Toivolan kohdalla maininnan arvoista? Mikä tekee siitä tärkeää? Jari Sillanpään kohdalla oli asiasta ollut pitkään "keskustelua" keltaisessa lehdistössä, ja lehdistö reagoikin isoin lööpein hänen ulostuloonsa. Tämän näin tarpeelliseksi mainita. Hyviä muokkailuja, –mysid☎ 20:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it is somewhat difficult for you, Mysid, to discuss sexual minorities. If e.g. Jani Toivola happens to be one, why shouldn't it be mentioned? It is about a celebrity, afterall, who has himself admitted being a homosexual. E.g. in the Finnish Wikipedia you'll find a large list of bi- and homosexual people (this is freedom of speech!). I think people should be able to discuss sexual minorities. You'll achieve nothing by staying silent. I believe/hope that in Finland people would stop the fear of homo- and bisexual people. It feels as if things can't be said aloud. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.222.200.48 (talk • contribs) 20:16, February 11, 2007 (UTC)

Of course you can say things aloud. I just think the sexuality of a person is not something that defines him; it hardly needs to be mentioned in an encyclopedia, unless there's some specific reason. The article on Spede Pasanen doesn't tell he was a heterosexual, either. Jani Toivola is also already included in Category:LGBT people from Finland, which I think is enough. If you specifically want to mention he's a homosexual, you may write it a little longer; Why is it worth mentioning? What makes it important? In the case of Jari Sillanpää there had been a long "discussion" about his sexuality in the yellow press, and the press had a huge reaction to his coming out. I thought it was worth mentioning. Happy editings, –mysid☎ 20:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish cinema

Just to let you know this template has been created for all Finnish cinema articles:

♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"I've been expecting you"} 22:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for informing me :) (I've already edited the template, though) –mysid☎ 07:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unbelievably a certain user has now put all of the cinema templates up for deletion including that good looking Finnish one above. I beelive they serve a great purpose for establishing a better understanding and connection between articles of each industry to make them flow. But in totla haste he has gone ahead and proposed the lot. If my hard work is deleted I really feel that I should leave wikipedia for good and feel my 35,000 edits are not really respected. I am willing to limit the use of the American template but not the others. It will affect thousands of articles already. Many users have expressed that they think the tmeplates are very useful from all over.

CorelDRAW

Mysid,

My name is Gregori Robinson, and you have taken the liberty of deleting information that I have posted on Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorelDRAW#Characteristic_features

This information is a very important historic document, and of interest to 50,000,000 Corel Users. In the future, I would appreciate you contacting me before changing or deleting what I consider important historic information.

Best regards,

Gregori Robinson 07:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. If you wish to have this material there, could it be under a specific subheading? I don't think it quite fits under the heading "Characteristic features". Also, please do not advertise yourself and your email address there. –mysid☎ 07:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1UP image

It may be a screenshot, but the source needs to have clarified if it is created by the uploader or taken from a web site (and if so, which web site). - A Link to the Past (talk) 13:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I will try to compare the image with the game itself and see if it the mushrooms are identical. –mysid☎ 13:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No no no, what I mean is the origin - ie, what web site created the screenshot? Did you make it? Or did you find it on a web site? - A Link to the Past (talk) 13:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was practically drawn by me in GIMP after a JPEG original, the source of which I do not know. –mysid☎ 13:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Ireland

Hi there. You recently made an edit to the Northern Ireland page to change the infobox to be more consistent with other country pages. Fair enough, probably needed doing. Unfortunately when you made the change the page was protected due to edit warring so the edit really shouldn't have been made. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem as you weren't intending to change content, but when you changed the infobox you put in the text "Currently without a national flag". While this may be true this particular sticking point was the whole reason the page was protected in the first place and shouldn't really have been made. I leave it up to you as to whether to reverse it or just remove that bit or nothing as you see fit, but I'm just bringing to your attention that due to the protecting this particular bit of edit probably shouldn't have been made. Ben W Bell talk 09:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As another admin who has had to respond to two different editprotected requests about that infobox, I would also like to ask you to either revert yourself until the dispute is settled or at least remove the line about the national flag. CMummert · talk 13:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the current version is the correct version as per the discussion and concensus on the talk page.--Vintagekits 14:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mysid, you may also want to review the talk page to see the discussion there. CMummert · talk 14:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry for the mess; I have now reverted my edit. Of course I should never have edited a page protected because of a content dispute. The change of the infobox was requested by someone else who thought the country infobox would fit better there, and I made the edit in good faith, unaware of the difference in nuance. –mysid ☎ 15:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at your revert I now realise that I made a mistake in thinking that the line in question had been added by yourself. It turns out all you did was update the box to a different infobox, but kept the text that was already there from an earlier version. I think with the reversions that had been going on prior it had been missed by myself and others. I do apologise for saying you added that line when you hadn't, it had just become more prominent.
