[edit] "Queen Lucretia I""
Madame LadybirdintheUK, when you put forth to delete my article, I had only put it on here just a day before.
Please note: I'm on holiday for a week. Please leave a message after the bleep, and I'll get back to you!

[edit] Toolstation article
You could have just taged the page as db-repost ... but now an admin/sysop has concluded that it was rewritten sufficiently so that it needs to go through the PROD / AfD process again. I've started it by tagging the page as PROD and I'll watch the page. If anyone takes the PROD notice off in the next four days then I'll just take it to AfD. I added comments to the talk page of the article explaining why I think it should be delete (non-notable company, blatant advertising). Thanks for catching this! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, you can ask me a question anytime by adding a comment to my talk page. Brian 16:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)btball

[edit] Gonçalo Mendes da Maia
Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was an outright copyright vio or if it just merited a check, so I played it safe (while I've been a member for a while, I've only started editing articles recently). Thanks for setting things straight! --Hobbularmodule 21:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday Cookie
Hey, uh thanks and all, but mine is on the eleventh. Not the tenth. Notice the birthday countdown on the top of my page. But I'll keep this for tomorrow anyway. Thanks again. - Bagel7 14:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your birthday wishes [to me] on my talk page. :D I appreciate it!--ViolinGirl♪ 00:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for the birthday wishes (Hmm, I'm also surprised another year finished so soon). BTW may be you can direct all birthday greeting thank-yous to one place like User talk:Jenmoa. -- Paddu 20:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Old Medley merge nomination
Hi Ladybirdintheuk...a couple of quick comments on the merge nomination. When using the {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom}} templates, please include a link to the talk page of the article that you're nominating to merge...the wiki format for the template is {{mergefrom|nominated_article|Talk:nominated_article}}. Also, once you've nominated an article to be merged into another article, please build a case for the proposed merge on the talk page of the nominated article (you can still add your thoughts to the Old Medley's talk page here. Hope this helps! AreJay 13:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Waste exchange
This subject is covered (in slightly more detail) as part of the "reuse" page. I believe it should be merged into this article to save duplicating our efforts, and a redirect added here. -Ladybirdintheuk 13:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I think im inclined to agree with you on this one ----Alex 13:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Waste_exchange"
[edit] User:Ladybirdintheuk/test page - feel free to ignore!
You've placed a proposed-deletion tag on this page. It isn't obvious whether you're testing {{prod}} or want the page deleted. If you want to delete it, could you please tag it with {{db-user}} to request its speedy deletion as an unwanted user subpage? --ais523 12:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikification
Hi, By the way there is a boilerplate for wiki project pages - I don't know if it's any use but It might be good for sourcing some ideas! Template:WikiProject.
I'll take a look at your sub page in a few minutes :D --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 13:58, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

- Cool - I'd already made a start before I saw your comment, but I will look if there are any other sections we should add in. As I mentioned, feel free to change anything that looks wrong - it's only a first draft, and needs attention! -Ladybirdintheuk 14:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] re: Arvède Barine
Hi, forgive me if I have misunderstood, I am relatively new to Wikipedia and I only contribute occasionally. But one of the articles that I posted is concerns "Arvède Barine". That is her psyudonym, so I had to correct what you changed it to during the Wikification process, hopefully making it perfectly clear. Just wanted to let you know. Also, other changes were made by other editors, some are clear to me, some are not, because they reinserted text that I could not verify, and so decided to remove. Obviously, I'm still new to Wiki protocol.Bob em 14:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Wikification
Hi there, I noticed you wanted to start a wikiproject on wikification, and I'd like to help. I have experience with wikiprojects before, I can help find members and do some template design where needed. I'm a member of the WP:BDC just like you, I made the purple headers :) Please contact me on my talk page if I can be of any assistance. --Draicone (talk) 21:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- I may be able to create a small banner for people to use on their userpages emphasising the importance of the backlog, the basic goals of the project and how to join, as this would really boost member numbers if it were used a lot. --Draicone (talk) 20:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your birthday message
| Thanks for all the wonderful banners | ||

[edit] Lewis Kaplan
You prodded the article Lewis Kaplan as a copyvio. I wanted to let you know that I have removed the copyvio material, although the article is now a stub. Could you please take a look at the article and make any other changes that seem appropriate? Thanks. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 08:54, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Musical Monkey
You recently removed the importance tag from Musical Monkey. The article, however, fails to assert the importance of the album; it only states that it is the fourth album by Guttermouth. Please either restore the tag, or improve the article so that it is clear why this particular album is notable. Thanks! --M@rēino 21:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Understood. This is currently under discussion here, and I encourage you to comment, especially since we seem to disagree. --M@rēino 19:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP:WWF
Well it seems that WikiProject Wikify is getting off to a good start as a wikipriject. I have been looking at the discussion on the main category page and I wonder if there is an issue there that could be addressed. Do we need a section that says basically what wikification is for, what articles can be wikified and what other processes may be more relevant (or something of that ilk) for people just searching for the wikify tag. Alot of aritcles seem to be tagged to be wikified wrongly.
Along that line of thought is there a reference anywhere of exactly what cleanup processes are around, how to tag them abd how to choose the relevant ones? If not perhaps we could work on creating one! --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 11:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm yeah its not a great resource is it? But yes I think it needs more prominence and perhaps a sentence or 2. I will think about that maybe. As to telling people on talk pages - yes it wont have a great affect but I have noticed some people who go around adding no end of wikify tags - alot of them wrongly so I posted on their talk pages a few times... Nevertheless I think I might make a template anyway for that purpose - we may as well try and notify some people! --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 11:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
-
- Yeah it does seem to be alot of RC patrollers who arte doing that. I think mostly because it is something alot of new wikipedians do to get involved (per suggestions or frm the project page) without reading up on what to tag and where! I know I was like that.. --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 11:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Some cake for you!
[edit] (re-added wikify tag)
I've noticed a couple articles where you put the wikify tag back on. Just wondering what you thought was wrong there. Thanks. --Brad101 10:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I was just wondering. Some of the articles seem to be maxed out as far as wikify goes. I'm still wading through what is left of April but it's dragging on and on as I keep finding the tough ones. Oh, you seem to have upset The Royal Family! How Dare You! :) --Brad101 10:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Birthday Thanks
Thanks very much for my birthday greeting, I am glad there are Wikipedians around who find time to be kind like that. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Add me to the "thank-you" list. --Joe Sewell 12:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Do you count??
Yep me again Im afraid :P, I was wondering how you work out the numbers for the wikify progress graph. DO you manually count up the last page in each sub-category to get the total or is there an easier tool? I know User:Dragons flight has a total pages to be wikified but is there anywhere else that lists the individual date categories? If you do count them all - kudos to you :D --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 11:27, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- God you must be mad :) well I dont have an easy way. I was asking just in case you new of one as I am going to join in the taks of updating the progress and didnt want ot pratt around counting if theres an easier way! Guess that makes me mad too then... --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 19:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks...
...for the kind birthday greeting. It was really nice of you. My day went great. Thanks again. See you around. Orane (talk • cont.) 17:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jamaican Chinese
Hi Ladybird
I thought that was an extraordinarily long article, and now I know why... Thanks for the revert. How do you find out that something is just copied from another website? Is it just the manual search on Google, or is there a tool somewhere?
Thanks Blowski 10:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dartmoor tors
Hi Ladybird
Thanks for taking that off (and the "bold" bit). I looked first thing and thought it was a bit odd but didn't get back to it (& as I'd edited I thought it might be me). Needs some work but a list is a list! See you around - regards --Nigel (Talk) 09:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] wikify - wikify-date
Hello
I've noticed that Pearle hasn't done the daily change of "wikify" to "wikify-date" for a few days. Just thought I'd let you know, in case there's a problem! -Ladybirdintheuk 12:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Probably just because my laptop hasn't been home enough at the right time of day. Thanks for noticing, though! -- Beland 04:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikification template updates
As a trusted member of the Wikification project and the only other person to way in on my feelings about the template updates...would you mind stopping by User talk:Rmky87 to discuss the template updates? The user is updating the template just because s/he likes to see numbers go down and finds it depressing when s/he has to update it with large amounts of additions. Would you mind adding your thoughts to this user? It's clearly not helping our project by having him/her update as soon as one article changes, it makes it impossible to easily see our progress.

[edit] Absurd rapid deletion of actually copyright free material
The article on the Vicariate Apostolic of Natal that you so hastily deleted (in a matter of a efw hours; the unknown time zone difference -as there are wikipedian son all continents- alone requires at least 24 hours so the editor might have a change to read it, and DON'T assume everyone goes online every day either) and clearly without doing your homework, clearly linked to a website which contains over 12,000 pages from the Catholic Encyclopaedia NONE of which is under copyright (contrary to fewer articles on the same website from later date, clearly not marked as CE), as they are all way over 70 years (in this case, since 1911), therefore there exists a long-standing project (see Wikipedia:Catholic Encyclopedia topics) to integrate and wikify them all; none of my hundreds of contributions from CE has every been succesfully challenged as copyrighted, nor any of the numerous other linking ones I know about.
- Nor do I appreciate your baseless assumption (or gross sarcasm) that I would be a novice at Wikipedia - my watchlist is already over 9500 articles long (including my many redirects) on a wide range of subjects. If such hasty 'work' is what you call 'wikification', then don't do it at all; if, as I can only hope, this is an accidental error like we all make from time to time, then know that nothing makes me more venimous then needless data loss, but that is nothing personal, all the more as I don't recall ever having heard of you before (as very few user names suggest a female, I probably would have noticed at least that, especially as I appreciate the real insectivorous insect in the garden and have a soft spot for the British). Fastifex 12:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Catholic Encyclopedia and other PD sources
I have reverted you at Vicariate Apostolic of Natal. Wikipedia has thousands of articles taken from public domain sources, such as the Catholic Encyclopedia, the Jewish Encyclopedia and the EB1911. These are very often dated and biased, but perfectly legal to use. Please don't mark them as copyvios. up+land 18:24, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] THANKS!
As a newcomer here at Wikipedia, I just got involved with the Wikification drive and have been doing my best to get things done. I wanted to thank you for your fantastic work! Sincerely, Emmegan 23:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Coral Way Bilingual K-8 Center
I have removed the proposed deletion template from this article on two grounds:
- WP:SCHOOLS is a proposed guideline and its notability standards do not have consensus.
- Even so, Coral Way appears to be rather notable on account of its role in establishing bilingual education programs in the United States. --Dystopos 20:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
