UCSF project
[edit]Hi! I am currently revamping the UCSF project. I created lots of pages and added a lot of content, but there is so much still to do. I saw that you are part of the SFBA task force, so I thought you might be interested and I wanted to invite you to collaborate once more. In particular, we need to add content, do maintenance, and we really would benefit from pictures, so if you are in SF and could help that would be great. Thanks!Eccekevin (talk) 15:11, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

AFD and Old Vedanta Society Temple
[edit]Hi Peter G Werner, Thank you for participating thoughtfully/generously at ongoing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Filbert Street (San Francisco). I've taken a different stance there but I suppose I don't mind however it turns out. Including I do appreciate your noting the topic of "Old Vedanta Society Temple", which wasn't properly noticed anywhere in Wikipedia, as I think you were pointing out. I set up Old Vedanta Society Temple as a redirect for now, to a row in List of Hindu temples in the United States that existed but which had no statement of its importance. It would be good if the redirect could be converted into a full proper article. The building looks very neat; it would be great if a gallery of pics about it could be shown, but I think there are only 1 or 2 available. I hope you keep participating and developing about SF or whatever else are your interests here. cheers, --Doncram (talk) 19:19, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Doncram! Thanks for the heads-up. You might also want to add something in the entry for "Vedanta Society of Northern California" about the "New Temple" and Vallejo and Fillmore Streets, built in 1959 and used for most of their worship activities. Though the "Old Temple" is still actively used for some functions as well. I don't go out to Cow Hollow much anymore, but it wouldn't be hard to go out there and take some pictures. Though I'm not sure what I could contribute that would be better than the image you're already using.
- On the topic of Filbert Steps, there's actually material I want to contribute on the topic of the Filbert/Greenwich/Vallejo steps, but still feel that would be best covered as a section of the Telegraph Hill article. Peter G Werner (talk) 18:44, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for replying, and, great... I am frankly confused about whether there are multiple separated sections of steps called the same or differently. Btw, I have article Draft:Dipsea Trail to finish; I am impressed by the organizers' documentation with many photos of the Dipsea course; I think it would be awesome if someone could make sense, in a wikipedia article, of the Filbert Steps that way.
- About photos of the temple, oh there is so much more there, inside and out, that might be photographed and directly included as illustrations to make points within an article, or in a gallery below. Have you ever seen Jesus Christ in a yoga pose??? See that and more images, not available to us but maybe you could visit and photograph, at sfvvedanta.org page on Old Temple. The Jesus Christ was painted in 1908, which for artwork in a museum would usually be old enough that copyright would run out, but there's mention there of it being explicitly copyrighted then, and then I dunno if that copyright could have been renewed or what. So there might be something to work out, perhaps requiring a new permission (using wp:OTRS system?) or release of copyright from them, for us to use a new or old image of that artwork. I footnoted that webpage as a source and a couple other sources at the row in the Hindu temples table; one is about a journal article that I will see about getting. Especially if you might visit there, I am getting interested in writing an article citing the journal article and more, and in the process of that would likely identify specific details where a photo would ideally be found.
- cheers, --Doncram (talk) 19:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
I see the AFD about Filbert Street was closed "No consensus" with some statement about no prejudice for some continuation. I think i might have done too much there, when my general wish is to support local editors doing what makes sense. I tried to make a case, but more strongly i want to defer to you and others actually developing on the topic. So if you go ahead and develop the topic in Telegraph Hill article or whatever, and then think it is time to redirect the Filbert Street article, I think you should just go ahead with that. I won't object. (U could just make a note at the Talk page left behind, which should have a link to the AFD.) cheers, --Doncram (talk) 19:18, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
Edit warring & lack of AGF at E. O. Wilson
[edit]You've been around a while so I'll spare you the template. You should know by now that your recent behavior at E. O. Wilson is unacceptable, from edit warring the disputed template back into the article [1][2] to the assumptions of bad faith on the talk page [3][4][5]. This behavior is quite simply standing in the way of your stated goals, and if it continues may result in sanctions. Generalrelative (talk) 15:01, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- @User:Generalrelative: First, I really don't think you should be removing tags indicating that content is in dispute when they are actively under dispute. If you think there might be a more appropriate tag, I'm open to it. Second, I find your behavior to be equally disruptive. I would sincerely like to discuss this, but I find that the attitude that you're the gatekeeper and I'm the naughty child to be rather unequal one. WP:AGF goes both ways, does it not? Am I not allowed to point out editorial bias when I see it? I am trying to not ascribe motive, but the stated reasons for removing this content from the article come across to me as POV in the extreme, in effect even if not in intent. Peter G Werner (talk) 15:10, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- And as for my statements being "unacceptable", can you point out where I've made a personal attack? I've simply pointed out that I think that the decision to not include this content strikes me as POV (is it "unacceptable" to state this plainly?) and that because it's pretty obvious that there's a vehement disagreement over the shape of this article that it would be a good thing for other editors to evaluate this decision.

This is an encyclopedia that preserves history not an up-to-date business directory or a news ticker or current events website. I fail to see the benefit of removing former locations as long as their closure is mentioned and referenced to reliable sources. Those sources may well have valuable information about the very long history of the business. Cullen328 (talk) 07:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Please see my response on the talk page for the article. I do not think Wikipedia is literally about every random piece of information one can include. It is also worth pointing out that the information you've chosen to keep is outdated and inaccurate while the replacement paragraphs I wrote were succinct and accurate, yet you reverted them out anyway. This is uncivil and uncollaborative behaviour on your part. Peter G Werner (talk) 07:12, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
