Howard's Club H

Hello. I was wondering why you changed my speedy delete to a PROD for this subject. No notability was claimed for it. Why could it not be speedied? I also noted that you provided no reason for the PROD so it is unlikely to succeed. At least the db-bio gives a good reason. Yours in confusion. Thanks. Maustrauser 12:10, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It wasn't a clear speedy in my opinion, and that's enough to not speedy it. Also db-bio doesn't apply to bars, so it's not a good reason. I didn't want to remove the speedy tag without bring it to others' attention. It's normal for other people to add or change the reason for deletion. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-02 02:37Z

Template:Drama-film-stub

Greetings! I notice that you closed a <div> tag in the {{drama-film-stub}}} template. I'm wondering if that may have caused a change in how the articles are sorted under Category:Drama film stubs, specifically that they are now out of order, all filed under "*". I don't know enough about wiki markup to guess. Obviously the </div> tag was necessary...please educate. Thanks Her Pegship 03:24, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Never mind! *g* It was my own edit caused the problem. Cheers, Her Pegship 11:52, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Elections

Hey Quarl! I wish to say thanks for your vote at the Esperanza elections.

I've made my way into the Advisory Committee, so if you ever need any help or have any queries about the stuff we do, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again, KnowledgeOfSelf 09:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Quarl! A note from me too, thanks for your vote! Like KnowledgeOfSelf said, please let us know if there's anything we can do for you! --Joann e B 18:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:RFA/Bobet

Thank you for voting on my RfA, it passed with a final tally of 68/0/0 so I'm now an administrator. If there's anything I can do to help, you feel I've done something wrong, or there's just something you want to tell, don't hesitate to use my talk page. Thanks. - Bobet 10:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:RFA/Paolo Liberatore

Hi! Thanks for your support in my request for adminship (did you know that "adminiship" is not an English word? Unbelievable!). It ended with a tally of (51/0/0). As an administrator, I hope to better help this project and its participants: if you have any question or request, please let me know. - Liberatore(T) 12:27, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

School of Hope tag

School of Hope tag --thanks for your interest in the School of Hope article. I've checked the requirements for cleanup - and have added what I think is the pertinent information. As a unique school in a unique environment, I'm unsure with whom to merge if this should be a consideration. Can you check again - if you have time! - if I have enough information so that further cleanup would be unneccesary. Best regards, User:Hriver

Thanks. I've done some cleanup to bring the article in line with Wikipedia style guidelines. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-01 20:07Z

Thank you for supporting me in my request for adminship! It ended with a tally of 39/5/4, and I am now an admin. I'm glad to have earned the trust of the community, and I will make use of it responsibly. Of course, you can let me know of any comments or concerns you have.

With a million articles in front of me, I'd better get mopping.

Ascot Vale

Sorry for the lateness of my reply; I'm overseas ATM and I've got no regular internet access. The redirects you changed are part of a project NickJ (talk • contribs) is running to make finding information on suburbs easier. Suburb articles themselves have a name like Bayswater, Victoria but there should be redirects to take you there immediately if you just search for "Bayswater". Sorry, that's not a very coherent explanation. Look at List_of_Melbourne_suburbs/table. Anyway, I made most of the redirects in the two right-hand columns of that table, but there are a few for which the article itself hasn't been written. Ascot Vale West is one of those. I'll keep my bloodshot peepers on the list, and if the article is created I'll change the redirects back. Reyk 21:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

wikipage errors on other wikis

i've got my scripts included on every wiki besides en.wikipedia, and wikipage.js pops up an error every time i load a page (wikibooks, meta, etc.) is there anything I can add to my js to disable this error message? — Omegatron 14:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I've added dbname settings for all Wikimedia servers, let me know if any still complain. Also, you can hide alerts via "$msg.alert_disabled=true". —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-09 08:16Z

Thank you very much. — Omegatron 15:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad I'm not getting the popup errors anymore, but when I press preview or show diff on Commons, it just shows "submitting" and doesn't do anything. :-/

Also, my browser (Firefox 1.5.0.1) gets really slow or hangs sometimes, I think because of these scripts. I wonder if things like the autodiff's constant tracking of typing could be modified to not take up as much resources. I can't help with the code anymore, as it's all way over my head now, so please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with in exchange. :-) — Omegatron 06:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I fixed a bug in the warning messages, so what will happen on Commons is it will say it couldn't parse, and then do a regular preview. Hopefully the admin on Commons will fix the XML problem soon. For reducing auto diff CPU usage you can change the interval from 1.5 seconds to something larger such as 5.0 seconds, using e.g. $autosummary.options.auto_diff = 5.0; in your preferences script. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-22 06:22Z

WP:RFA/AYArkatos

Thank you for your support of my successful request for adminship. I am honoured that the nomination was supported unanimously and that the community expressed confidence that I would use the tools wisely. If you have any concerns please let me know on my talk page.

WP:RFA/Kingboyk

Thank you!
Thank you for your support in my recent RFA. It passed 53/1/2 and I am now an administrator. I appreciate that some of you made exceptions to your usual requirements re length of service and so on because we've interracted positively in the past, or because of my credentials, so I will endeavour to use my new mop cautiously. I'm always open to feedback and gently constructive criticism. If you're not an admin and need some assistance do of course please let me know. Thanks again --kingboyk 00:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

P.S. If you are interested in The Beatles, User:Lar has asked me to tag on a little note advertising the creation of a new Beatles WikiProject that we are currently setting up. Please sign up and help.

Special thanks for nominating me for adminship. The final vote tally was (66/2/3), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know at any time if you have any suggestions for me. Stifle 17:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Credit rating agency

Hello Quarl. You have merged credit reference agency with credit rating agency. Please see the talk page for the merged article. Thanks. Arcturus 18:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:RFA/Cyde

This user thinks it is ironic that thanks for supporting Cyde's successful RFA came in the form of a userbox.

Here's a userbox for you. --Cyde Weys 04:11, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

smartsubmit.js

Hi Quarl, I recently added your smartsubmit.js to my monobook. It's great for previewing edits, but I have one query. I use popups and rely heavily on it for checking links are all pointing at the correct page before I save. Unfortunately popups seem to be disabled when previewing with smartsubmit. Is this something you are aware of, and can it be fixed? Thanks. --Cactus.man ✍ 08:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

You can use my version of popups (http://wikipedia.quarl.org/scripts/popups.js), though it doesn't have some of the newer features. If you do try it make sure you include all the dependencies listed at the top of the file. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-11 21:06Z

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl. --Cactus.man ✍ 08:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:RFA/Meegs

Hi Quarl, I'm glad you're happy. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to consider my RfA, which passed this morning. Admins are sort of like vultures, cleaning things up and whatnot... well, as long as you don't think too much about it. If there's ever a project that I can help you with, just ask; you know where to find me. ×Meegs 09:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Rainbow Books mergers

I've done a number of the mergers you proposed on the various Rainbow Books articles but there are three left which, personally, I think work better as seperate pages as they are more substantial and contain useful information. Seeing as the proposal hasn't gained much discussion, would you be happy for the remaining merge tags to be removed? (I'm having a bit of an attack on the vast backlog of merge-tags.) Kcordina 14:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd still prefer them all merged, but I don't have time to do it myself or campaign for consensus, so I don't object to removing the tags. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-16 07:35Z

And another thing - do you mind if I copy your threaded discussion box - so sensible! Kcordina 14:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-16 07:35Z

WP:RFA/Terence Ong withdrawal :(

Hello Quarl, it is my apologies to bring you that I've withdrawn my RFA. Due to the lack of experience, I would go under admin coaching first before trying again later. I would thank you for your vote in this RFA whether you voted support, oppose or neutral for me. I appreciate your comments (if you do have) you made and I hope to see you here in future. --Ter e nc e Ong 15:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Notability (academics)

Hi -- I and several other editors have been working on developing a consensus at Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies/Academics, to ultimately become an official guideline... unfortunately, I'm not clear on what needs to be done in order to get the community to approve it as a guideline: what burden do we have to meet before this can become an official guideline? I've advertised the effort and invited involvement at the Village Pump... and I don't think the guideline is totally ready yet, I just would like to know what the progression is.

Daniel Fulton

I'm not sure why you've redirected the Daniel Fulton article I created to my user page? I could expand the article if you like, but I can't understand why that article is now linked to my ID. I tried to unlink it, but I can't figure out how. Could you please do this for me? And let me know if you'd like the article expanded.

A+ channel info disappeared

Hello! I dont want to interfere, but its possible to obtain the lost text which I wrote to my "A+" stub, that you shuffled with some other stuff? Im lazy, and I having bad memory, so I would thanks if you could provide the original content, so I can create the "A+ (channel)" page then. --Rev-san 17:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

You're free to look at the content of A+ before I modified it [1], but it did not have anything about A+ (channel) back then. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-25 22:39Z

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out
Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
Stress Alerts
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log)
Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen.
Signed...
