[edit] I was working on an article and it completely disappeared, would you be able to help me find it into Wikipedia so I can save the work I did online, as I didn't save it before its deletion? It was under Karina Leal "DivegirlUSA". Divegirlusa 16:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Gosh, no, I don't think so. I'm not an administrator. --Russ (talk) 16:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks, that was fast. Do you know one? Divegirlusa 16:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why??

Why did you take out the Ronald Mcdonald Robbery in the Wendy's Article? It was real!Pendo 4 12:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I didn't. I think you're referring to this edit, which was by a different editor. If the robbery story is real, however, you ought to be able to provide a citation to a verifiable source for it, which wasn't in the text that the other editor deleted. --Russ (talk) 13:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links

I was reviewing this page, when I noticed that a page that I had posted as done had been deleted by you. I then looked through the edit history, only to discover that you modified the count for the links on the various pages, despite the text (copied below with the <nowiki> tag) that clearly says not to do this:

:'''PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING ANY EDITS''': Kindly do not edit anything between the start of the line and the character string "''|links]]''". You may insert any additional information after this point. When an item is finished, please cut and paste it, ''without revision'', to the end of the "Done" section. Thank you. :The link counts reflect the number of links from main namespace articles as of the dump date shown above. They are unlikely to be accurate at any later date; however, we keep the original count intact as a way of tracking our progress. Please do not change the link totals! ===To do=== <!-- SO THAT OTHER USERS CAN MAINTAIN THE PROGRESS BAR ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT DELETE OR EDIT THE LINK COUNTS IN THE LIST BELOW. If the count is seriously wrong, do not delete it but note your correction after the "Whatlinkshere" link. -->


So, after that, may I ask, what is you reasoning?--Vox Rationis (Talk | contribs) 20:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Please see Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation pages with links#February 6, 2007 dump. I am quite familiar with the text you quoted above -- I wrote most of it myself! However, when I initialized the list of pages from the 2007-02-06 dump, there was an error in the script that overcounted the links to most pages, and I had to go back and manually edit the link counts to correct the error. --Russ (talk) 19:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Alright, that makes sense, but there was still the deletion of several links to completed pages. I KNOW I sorted close to 100 pages for Reverse, and I would think that you would want to keep track of that, as it would make it seem like we have done more (always a good thing, esp. when we have). Also, thanks for maintaining this exhaustive list of DAB pages for others to use for the project! --Vox Rationis (Talk | contribs) 20:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting one

Thanks for bringing that to our attention at Infobox Australian Place - there has been some screwy things going on. Another very interesting one concerns major Perth roads. Until very recently, although the links were removed from a template more than a month ago, if you looked for "what links here" on Marmion Avenue, Perth, it showed a whole stack of ghost links from highway articles. This appears to have fixed itself in the last week, so it's a bit hard to demonstrate now, but it was a problem for quite a while. There is the odd one though - at Beach Road article, there's supposedly a link from South Western Highway (a highway which starts more than 40km / 24mi from Beach Road), probably dating from this former issue with the roads template. I think MediaWiki may be having some weird issues. Orderinchaos78 13:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geobox Region

I'll look into it, there's probably i missing (or extra) curly brace someplace causing a parameter call instead of a paramete reference. – Caroig 13:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Should be OK now, yet I'm still surprised it showed up as it was from an if section which was negative. Might take some time before the links disappear from the Whatlinkshere given the results are cached someplace. I'll keep checking this. Thanks for your notice. – Caroig 13:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Dunno how the caching works here. I deleted the Geoboxes from two pages and they disappeared from the list. I also made a minor edit to the Liberec Region and it disappeared too. There might be some time lag before the database refreses links from pages which haven't been changed, well I hope so. Otherwise some edit would have to be made to the pages to make them disappear from the list. – Caroig 13:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks for checking into this so quickly. --Russ (talk) 14:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greek Disambiguation Help

Dear Russ, Thank you for suggesting the wrong link to disambiguation page. I have corrected the information. Thanks again, Cyril Thomas 12:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] leave ee3 alone

Leave EE3 alone. TBA must going somewhere for readers who may not know what it means.--The Negotiator 13:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, what Negotiator means is, Russbot is changing all the TBA links so they lead to the non-existent "To be determined" page, instead of the TBA disambiguation page. I don't know why you would have it do that,I think you should have a look at it.--Atlan 13:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I will do so. --Russ (talk) 18:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Why doesn't he respond himself? A simple acknowledgement of the problem would be polite.--The Negotiator 18:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Since you asked so politely, and politeness apparently is so important to you, I'm delighted to acknowledge your message. Have a nice day. --Russ (talk) 18:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why revert?

Not two minutes after I edit the article, you remove it. Justification please? There is no direct reference to Claire Balding's sexuality. Being a lesbian isn't a crime, honey! 82.163.39.155 22:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

  • If you want to insert something in an article about a living person that might conceivably be construed as defamatory, you must provide verification for it. The same if you wanted to say she was straight. --Russ (talk) 22:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you taking the piss? Please read the Claire Balding article again, it clearly says she is in a relationship with Alice Arnold. What does that tell you? Maybe she's in denial about being straight and decides to be a lesbian, for the attention?! Jeez. 82.163.39.155 22:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. I will read the article with rapt interest. --Russ (talk) 22:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Castile -> Castile soap (Sept 2006)

Hi, this bot-assisted change was incorrect. You might like to check the other changes made in that particular sweep. - Fayenatic london (talk) 14:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

  • OK, thanks for pointing that out. --Russ (talk) 16:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] The Vanguard School

Hi R'n'B, this article looks Wikified to me. I noticed that you tagged it, so I wanted to see if you still think there is work needed on it, and that if the tag should go back on.--Wikipedier (talk • contribs) 21:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

  • It still needs some work, but I don't think the {{wikify}} message is needed any more. --Russ (talk) 22:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I might be able to make minor changes in the future, but you can feel free to make any changes that you think would be helpful aswell.--Wikipedier (talk • contribs) 23:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lee Worswick

Thanks for your edits to the hyperlink on the article I created about actor Lee Worswick. Much appreciated. Lradrama 13:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Church on Brady - deletion

Hi, Thanks for your comments on the entry for Church on Brady. I would like to re-write this and remove the copyrited material. How do I get the orignal back to do this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Countrysweet (talk • contribs) 21:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

  • I guess you could just copy it from the same website again. However, I don't understand why you can't just edit Mosaic Church, which appears to be about the same organization. --Russ (talk) 00:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aeolian Sky

Thank you for adding disambig links to this article Britmax 17:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for reverting vandalism on my user page! :) --Aiyda 18:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing Current List of Disambiguation Pages w/ Links

The reason why I took pages off the list was because I had previously put notes beside those pages stating that they do not need to be on the list anymore because the only pages that linked to them were pages that disambiguated to them. However several weeks later they remained on the list, and I felt they need to be deleted from the list. If you want to know which pages they are I can provide them to you. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 22:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
