User talk:Polisher of Cobwebs

Talk?

No big deal, but I was slightly disappointed by your persistence in reverting after my polite invitation to discuss on the Talk page. The article was tagged for improvement and I contributed. —Misty_(MORN) 16:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

You made a change to the article, which I reverted, as I saw it as unnecessary. You then simply made the same change again, reverting me in turn. WP:BRD advises against doing that. You should have taken it to the talk page as soon as I reverted you, instead of making the same change again. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 19:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh, maybe. I have to say I'm finding this somewhat petty and discouraging. Oh well... —Misty_(MORN) 20:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I realize that it can be discouraging to make a change and have it reverted, but I've been no more persistent in trying to edit through my preferred version of the article than you have, so I'm not sure why you're criticizing me. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 20:25, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I've made a rapid post on the article talk page. I trustwe can sort this out amicably without further ado. Thanks, —Misty_(MORN) 20:47, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

File:Eros and Civilization.jpg

I'm confused: why do you want this deleted? Just upload the new image, without the unsightly bottom-right lines, on top of the current image — simple quality improvements like removing unsightly lines from edges are an exception to our general prohibition on uploading over current images, and in fact you're actively encouraged to upload over the current one. Nyttend (talk) 02:49, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I tried to do exactly that, but it didn't work properly. Look at the file history, and the revision history of the Eros and Civilization article. The file still looks just as bad there as it did before. So, I'd like to start afresh with a totally new file and see if that fixes things. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 02:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

The image versions look different to me. You're probably experiencing a caching issue; hours after I uploaded a new version of File:UTC hue4map USA-IN.svg, it still looked like the old one. If you have access to another computer, one which has never viewed this image recently, check it there; if the problem still persist there, or if you wait a day or more only to find the problem persisting on your main computer, deletion will be more appropriate. Better yet, you could upload the file under a new name, change the link in the article, and redirect the old title to the new one. It's generally not a good idea to delete images that are in use, and uploading under a new name would obviate that problem. Finally, please note that all revisions of a page will show the current revision of an image used therein; as far as I know, you can't cause a page to display an old edition of an image or of a transcluded template. Nyttend (talk) 03:05, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Well, the problem is that the improved image looks different if you view it at full size, but it looks just the same as the previous version if you view it as a thumbnail. And it made no difference at all to the appearance of the article. But thanks for the advice; I'll try what you suggest. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 03:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Again, a caching issue. Because you reuploaded with a new filename, I've redirected the old filename to the new one, and we should be all done now. Nyttend (talk) 23:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Pics?

Check out barbazu, spinagon, diakk, cloud dragon, mist dragon, shadow dragon, grugach, and valley elf. 99.102.236.90 (talk) 13:17, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, these articles are quite likely to be redirected or deleted. There's little that I can do about that, and I'm not really inclined to try. However, so long as the articles aren't being considered for deletion, I will provide pictures soon, if I can find them. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 23:50, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Life Against Death

Hello there Polisher of Cobwebs! Thank you for getting in touch with me; I've had a look at the Life Against Death page – for which I congratulate you, as it's really rather good – and have a few tips that I hope shall be of benefit to you. If I may, I'll post them here on your user talk page, although feel free to copy and paste them to the Life After Death talk page (attributing them to me), if you like:

Introduction:

• As it stands, the introduction currently consists of only a single paragraph; ideally, it should really be divided up and expanded into three or four paragraphs (see the example over at Dreamtime (Duerr book), which I put together pretty much single-handedly).
• "is a book by Norman O. Brown, first published in 1959, with a second edition in 1985" – what kind of book is it: a novel? a psychoanalytical study? a historical study? This needs to be clarified. And who is Norman O. Brown and what is his nationality? Who published this book, and who republished it ? Was it originally published in the English language, or was it translated into it ? If so, who was the translator ? All of these things should be included in your first introductory paragraph.
• In your second and perhaps third paragraph, provide a very basic synopsis of the book, describing its primary arguments.
• In your final introductory paragraph, discuss the reception, legacy and influence of the book.
• Why use the 1970 edition in the photograph ? Ideally, use the first edition cover.

Background

• Who is Brown and why does his opinion matter ? Give a little bit of biographical information about this author.
• Similarly, who is Freud ? Again, a sentence of two of biography would be of help; always assume that the reader knows basically nothing about the subject.
• Again, who is Marcuse and why does he matter ?
• Who is Paul Robinson ?
• Are these psychoanalysts arguing that Freud was a social conservative, fiscal conservative or an all-round conservative ?
• "Jakob Böhme and William Blake" need to link somewhere.

Synopsis

• Much of this page could do with being linked; words like Nietzche, Eros and Thanatos should be linked to their Wikipedia articles.
• Would any images be relevant here ? Does the Life Against Death book actually contain any pictures, one of which could be used here ?

Could other quote boxes be employed in later parts of the article ? They add a bit of colour and are aesthetically pleasing for many readers, myself included.

Hope this helps! Midnightblueowl (talk) 17:00, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. It does help. I'm aware that the article has problems that need ironing out, and I'm ready to make whatever changes are required; I value other editors' criticism. I'll certainly take your comments into consideration. As for the picture of the book, the 1970 edition is there because, frankly, I happen to like it, and prefer it to other editions of the book. I would be perfectly prepared to change it to a different edition, however. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 20:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Spaces in headings

I noticed that in this edit and this one you removed the spaces between the equals signs and the headings, referring to WP:MOSHEAD in your edit summary. But MOSHEAD actually says "Spaces between the equal signs and the heading text are optional, and will not affect the way the heading is displayed". So I suggest that those particular cobwebs do not need to be polished? -- John of Reading (talk) 06:22, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

I am well aware of the fact that spaces in section headings are optional and do not affect the appearance of articles. That doesn't mean that there is no legitimate reason for changing them from one form to the other. Articles should be consistently formatted, and there can be no advantage to sometimes having spaces within section headings and sometimes not within a single article. The wish to eliminate such inconsistencies is the main reason why I have made such changes. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 09:05, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Monsters

See shadow dragon, and I also got firefriend, foo creature, froghemoth, gloomwing, gorgimera, and greenhag. Thanks for your hard work! 70.166.140.88 (talk) 03:57, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome. I won't be providing pictures for those articles right away, but I will soon, so long as they aren't nominated for deletion. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 03:59, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Page Numbers in the Wikipedia Page About the Book

Specifically looking at Of Grammatology -- rather than what either of us did recently, why don't we just use inline numbers? I feel like this is a reasonable thing to do for the page about the book, cuts down on load time, cuts down on reader hassle, is not really confusing because the page is about the book... what do you think? groupuscule (talk) 05:41, 29 August 2012 (UTC) P.S. I'm hoping to expand the OG page as soon as I get my hands on a copy.

If you don't like what I did, by all means do something else. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 05:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Freud page

I've just seen all your 30 August 2012 amendments to the Freud page and rather than take up yet more space on the Freud Talk page I want to let you know I agree with all of them.

" "Foucauldian" is the more common term "

Do you have a source for this, or is this just something you've noticed at various links/books in general? Byelf2007 (talk) 30 August 2012

I could equally ask you if you have a source for your preferred version. "Foucauldian" is definitely the more elegant of the two forms, and I see no reason to change it. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 22:05, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

I have the same impression as PoC. Also, this. Maybe it's because "Foucaultian" looks like it might rhyme with "new potion" and not "melodian".
