replies: text: My understanding is that the regulations also mention the possibility to mark years, but do not actually specify the abbreviation to be used. In practice, I've never seen anything other than months being used. If someone is looking for an existing list of letter codes to denote time periods that is compatible with the "36M" notation used on the PAO symbol, have a look at the time period notation of ISO 8601.

thread_title:  medical v theatrical 

message: I could easily get a picture from the links to add here, and upload it. The trouble is, Wikipedia's a legal quagmire when it comes to uploading picture that you didn't take, so much so that in the two years I've been editing Wikipedia, I'm still extremely wary of uploading any picture, and will ask others to do it if a page needs one. Take, for example, the pictures on this page: http://www.northfur.ca/prosthetic_shop/kangaroo_muzzle.html, both the picture of the slush cast latex, and the examples of its application. Can any of those be uploaded? If so, under what license? Do you need expressed permission from its creator and/or the person in the photo? If you had that, how would you upload on their behalf, and not have your image deleted? I know one of Wikipedia's slogans is "be bold", but when it comes to pictures, I'm clueless with licenses and coprights. Kevin 16:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Featured article review/Anarcho-capitalism

message: Perhaps you should provide diffs to my edits. If I am so opposed to "the notion of anarcho-capitalism," why were all of my edits working towards improving the article? I removed fluff, made sections more concise, fixed grammar, fixed references, moved long sections to their own articles, deleted theoretical speculation, and made the article more like a featured article candidate. I think that this article should be here and that every article should work towards this status. Before throwing around words like "sabotage," "deliberate campaign," "extreme vandalism," and the like, provide some evidence. I think that you just don't like the idea that this article is being reviewed. Well, if it's a great article, then this review won't matter, and it can certainly stand for itself without you attacking various editors. Next time you want to throw around accusations, provide some actual proof. If anybody takes the time (but why would they?) to look at the diffs in question (which you did not link to), they would see that my edits improved the article. Anarcho-capitalism is monitored by many, many anarcho-capitalists and interested parties; if my edits were so terrible, they would have been reverted. Of course, they were not. --AaronS 20:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

That's all well and good, but an encyclopedia entry needs to be a dispassionate examination of her life, listing the relevant facts and attributing any praise to those who followed her in life and who continue to do so after her death.

There is a method to my madness here.
By themselves these articles are lacking in sources that point to their notability, but together they present a much stronger article.  Plus each product is in a sense an update of the product before it. So there is the continuity in one article.
