[edit] Advocacy request-Seraphimblade
Hello, and thank you for offering to take this case. I was just seeking advice on a content dispute, I have not generally been engaged in such before and don't want to step over any lines unintentionally. The case is undergoing mediation now and the mediator thus far has been quite helpful.
I would like to ask a few questions privately, and will email them to you. Seraphimblade 09:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ocd.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ocd.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Durin 13:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] subst
Please add the subst prefix to the date templates in your signature so that when you sign comments, the date and time you leave the message is displayed instead of the current time and date. Thanks. jd || talk || 14:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi there. Thanks again for the reminder. Don't mean to be a nag, but you did tell me this previously and I do add subst prefixes to my date template. However it may be I left it out. Would you mind giving me a reference? Thanks. Anthony.
- Your signature currently looks like this:
[[User:Anthony_cfc|<font color="#000080">'''Anthon'''</font>]] <font color="#000080">[[User:Anthony_cfc/esperanza|<font color="#008000">'''y'''</font>]] <font color="#000080">[[User:Anthony_cfc|<font color="#000080">'''cfc'''</font>]] <font color="#000080">(<font color="#000080">[[User_talk:Anthony_cfc|talk]]</font> • <font color="#000080">[[Special:Emailuser/Anthony_cfc|email]]</font>)</sup> <small>{{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} [[{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}]] [[{{CURRENTYEAR}}]] ([[UTC]])</small>
-
- You need to change it to this:
[[User:Anthony_cfc|<font color="#000080">'''Anthon'''</font>]] <font color="#000080">[[User:Anthony_cfc/esperanza|<font color="#008000">'''y'''</font>]] <font color="#000080">[[User:Anthony_cfc|<font color="#000080">'''cfc'''</font>]] <font color="#000080">(<font color="#000080">[[User_talk:Anthony_cfc|talk]]</font> • <font color="#000080">[[Special:Emailuser/Anthony_cfc|email]]</font>)</sup> <small>{{subst:CURRENTTIME}}, {{subst:CURRENTDAYNAME}} [[{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTDAY}}]] [[{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}]] ([[UTC]])</small>
-
- This needs to replace the code currently in your preferences. jd || talk || 14:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] *disappointed at self*
I. Am. So. Stupid. I was just dusting out my old pages and I opened that one, and voila, there was a request. That I of course missed because I haven't checked that page in a while. Terribly sorry. Anyway, is there any chance you'd still like one? Because I'd be more than happy to make one. And I can do that similar style or another, different one; completely up to yourself. Cheers and sorry, Master of Puppets The Walrus! 04:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hey there. Sorry for the un-speedy reply, I've got exams on. I thought you'd forgotten about me! Yeah that would be great if you could make me a picture...I had in mind something vaguely like User:Celestianpower's username banner would be great. Thanks a lot!
- Cheers

- I'll whip one up and have it back to you soon. Cheers, Master of Puppets The Walrus! 22:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RfA Standards
Hey, I'm glad you liked my "standards". I thought the normal ones were completely out of whack with reality, so I hope mine would be a little more realistic. :) Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 01:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Cheers! See you around. Anthony.
[edit] Re: My talk
- I ended up reverting over multiple edits, since there was still vandalism embedded into the latest version (ie: something about Aliens). So, I rolled back to the last known good copy, and then manually looked for legitimate edits and found that it should indeed be "square" knot as opposed to "reef" knot. Thanks! --Porqin 18:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image tagging for Image:334025 at Dalmuir.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:334025 at Dalmuir.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Well, of course the award remains! Not only you still have very cool userpage, as even if you didn't the award was to remain to prove that once you had created a nice user page. :-) Nice budgies, bad inclusionists! Regards.--Húsönd 21:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Talk page
Hi, you said my talk page was getting rather lengthly and I should archive it. Would it be ok for me just to delete the really old stuff and just keep the latest discussions ? Thanks. mjgm84 19:22, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hey there. Well the choice is really up to you; I prefer archives as they allow me to bring back having a look here
“ | "...Most users treat their user talk pages like regular talk pages, and archive the contents periodically to a personal subpage — either when the page gets too large, on a regular schedule, or when they take a wikivacation. Others delete comments after they have responded to them...." —Wikipedia:Talk Pages | ” |
- As I said the choice is yours; you may wish to archive for the purposes of reference or if someone wants to revive a discussion - or you may wish to simply delete finished conversations. May I remind you:
- I hope I have been of help, and just give me a yell if there is anything else you need to know.
- Cheers and Regards
-
- I'll delete the old stuff. Most are old issues which have been resolved now. Thanks. mjgm84 20:01, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Anthony cfc/signature
Hi Anthony, I wanted to give you a heads up that it doesn't appear your template is working properly. Specifically, the date and time after your signature always changes to the current time. I noticed this on a warning message that you left at User talk:204.38.104.10. It probably just needs to be subst'ed. Regards, Accurizer 14:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Templates shouldn't be used in signatures anyway. If you're going to use a page in your user space as a signature, at least substitute it. I can fix the signature so that the time and date doesn't change, but you need to substitute it before it will work. You need to change your signature from
{{User:Anthony cfc/signature}}
to{{subst:User:Anthony cfc/signature}}

[edit] creating page
i would like to create a page or stub as the case may be for a transit company in canada and so far everytime i have tried it gets deleted claiming that i am advertising or spamming or the company is not notable... most places have stubs for things like this even your rapid transit and bus company list requests us to build that stuff up t he one i was trying to create for is Timmins Transit if you can help me it would be greatly appreciated (Yonzie1972 23:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC))
- Regarding Timmins Transit; I am a Public Transport enthusiast and I have never come across Timmins Transit. However, having said that it may be notable enough to consitute a Wikipedia article. The criteria for notability over companies is located at a subpage of WP:NOTABILITY (a guideline for notable of Wikipedia Articles). The subpage is Wikipedia:Notability/Companies and Corporations;
"...A product or service is notable if it meets any of the following criteria:(1)The product or service has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself. (2)This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations5 except for the following: (A) Media re-prints of press releases, other publications where the company or corporation talks about its products or services, and advertising for the product or service. Newspaper stories that do not credit a reporter or a news service and simply present company news in an uncritical or positive way may be treated as press releases unless there is evidence to the contrary.(B) Works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as simple price listings in product catalogues. (2)The product or service is so well-known that its trademark has suffered from genericization..." —Wikipedia:Notability/Companies and Corporations
[edit] User pages marked for speedy deletion?
Hello! Your user page and User:Anthony cfc/globalheader popped up on WP:CSD this evening but they don't have a speedy delete tag on them. Was this what you intended. I'm not about to delete them unless it is explicit! I also notice that you have me down as someone held in high regard, so thank you very much for that! (aeropagitica) 22:56, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Whoops..."
Heya! I was just browsing through C:CSD, when I found that both your userpage and one of its subpages was a candidate for speedy deletion. I checked it out, and noticed that the problem arose from your link to the category from this page -- instead of linking to the category, you'd accidentally placed that page in it. Hope you don't mind me making the change. :) Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 00:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Editor review
Hi! Of course I'd be glad to leave a message at your editor review, and I'm proud that you asked me. :) Unfortunately, I won't be able to do so for a few hours because we'll be recording our podcast, which will be taking up all my attention while we do so. I'll definitely give you a review then, though. Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 00:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

- User:J Di - thank you for your comments concerning my signature, but I would like to point out that every template connected with my signature template ({{User:Anthony_cfc/signature}}) been "subst'd". Once again, thank you for your comments but the signature appears to be working perfectly. Cheers for your comments and regards, Anthøny
-
I beg to differ. The time shown above is still the current time, not the time the comments were left. More worryingly, it seems that the subst'ing of the information has left the subst time in the signature on a more permanent basis. Any reason you can't just use the normal timestamps like the rest of us? ;) Chris cheese whine 12:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Moved to the Troll archive (Anthony cfc; 11:00 11/12/06 (GMT))

[edit] Admin coaching, etc.
Are you ready to get started?
The waiting time over at Admin coaching is long (some people have been waiting in line since July). I'm an admin coach with the project, and for my students I set up a group discussion page so that we could all learn from each other. The scope of this concept has expanded into the Virtual classroom, which is an open forum for the teaching and learning of advanced Wikipedia skills.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, as a student, as a coach, or both. Every week or two a new major topic of discussion or classroom assignment is introduced, usually with a guest writer who presents his or her expertise on the current subject and who remains on hand to answer questions. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussions, such as sharing your expertise, asking and answering questions, etc.
The current topic of discussion is vandalism, and our guest writer is Budgiekiller.
All discussions are open-ended, so all previous discussion topics and classroom assignments are still there for viewing and further participation. There are also sections for posting miscellaneous topics and questions, requesting coaching assistance, etc.
In addition to inviting those who would like to learn, I routinely invite experts from all over Wikipedia to come and contribute for the benefit of all. The VC is rapidly turning into a clearing house of the best resources, methods, and techniques known for working on Wikipedia.
You are cordially invited to participate.
Here's an announcement box which you can place on your userpage or at the top of your talk page for keeping up to date with classroom assignments.
I hope to see you there. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 07:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good afternoon (GMT time); as you may or may not have noticed from my user page, I am currently experiencing mental/physical illnesses (OCD breakdown & Flu) and I have been advised to cease all time at the computer. As such, I am undertaking a Christmas wikibreak; I hope to be back after December 25 (2006). I am very keen to begin Admin Coaching, and I hope that these unfortunate circumstances will not affect my chances of participating in admin coaching.

[edit] Adoption
Hi Anthony,
Three quick things,
Db1944 - now that you are back I will let you carry on your adoption duties, but I will tell Db1944 I can stay on as a co-adopter, and help out if a second-opinion is needed or you are not about.
Sooner-Dave - see User talk:Sooner Dave
- You look like you have made a template for offering adoptions - which is cool - but you need to add a ":" before Category links otherwise it just adds the page to the Cat and adds no link - have sorted this one.
- Unless the User does not want it please add the Adoptee userbox to their userpage - or if they hate userboxes just the Cat.
Cheers - any questions give me a shout. Lethaniol 20:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good evening (GMT); could you tell me what template this is you are discussing here? Also, I see you've been doing good work with Db1944 and I'd be glad if you wanted to stay on - providing you wanted to of course. Cheers, Anthøny 20:53, Wednesday December 27, 2006 (UTC)

- Thank you for your speedy response, and thank you for your repairing for my amateur mistakes :) Will you be staying on as co-adopter of User:Db1944? ~ Anthøny 21:08, Wednesday December 27, 2006 (UTC)

- My review covered all the same points as your plus some more nitpicking :) it is unfair to request a review and expect all positive feedback - the point is to identify points for improvement, so it would be wrong for David to think you were too critical of his work, and besides I cannot see David being that immature :P Well until the next time we meet, Cheers and regards, ~ Anthøny 21:26, Wednesday December 27, 2006 (UTC)

With regards to the message on my talkpage, I am not involved in the appointment of new clerks or anything like that.

Hey, thanks for the star! :) It really is greatly appreciated (... especially at the moment ^^; ).
As for your question about readiness for adminship, I'm going to have to answer your question later. As much as I'd like to provide you with a speedy response, it's 3.45am and I'm awake for no good reason... so it'll have to wait. :( I'll try to respond when I wake up, but if I don't, it's probably because I've gone on holiday down the coast for a few days.
My schedule is a little erratic for the next few days...
So, don't go doing anything rash! :) I'll get back to you as soon as I have a free minute. Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 16:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I find your response to my comment rather strange. What part of it was "false information"? Do you understand why just removing red links can be a bad decision? Do you not wish to rectify any damaging edits you may have made by arbitrarily removing red links? --C S (Talk) 19:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- My apologies, I was in the middle of archiving when I came across your information; it was then I created the archived tag but rather than copy out the entire template link I copied the first one I could remember (/no) and proceeded to sub in Archived. Obviously this did not work.
- Once again, my sincerest apologies. Once I am finished archiving, I will proceed immediately to rectify the red link matter.
- Cheers and regards,
Anthøny 20:01, Thursday December 28, 2006 (UTC)

- Despite the fact I already knew this policy when I learned the basic policies long ago, I still followed your recommendations and reread Wikipedia:Red link. Upon doing so, my suspisiouns were confirmed:
-
-
-
-
- "...The link is broken and no longer leads to an article (perhaps because the underlying article was deleted). In such a case, the link needs to removed..."
-- Wikipedia:Red links
- "...The link is broken and no longer leads to an article (perhaps because the underlying article was deleted). In such a case, the link needs to removed..."
-
-
-
-
- Therefore, I was enforcing Wikipedia:Red links whilst simultaneously improving Wikipedia by removing non-functioning links. I was not removing the opportunity for editors familiar on the topic of the articles to link to an article and then create that article, but since I was simply clicking Special:Random I was not knowledgeable on any of the topics and thus couldn't create the article.
-
- I hope this is a satisfactory response. (My standard sign-off after disputes:) please do let me know if you think I have WP:BITTEN or been WP:UNCIVIL. If there is anything else you need, just let me know.
-
- Cheers and regards,
Anthony (20:19; 28/D/06)
- Cheers and regards,
I am puzzled at how you can read the guideline and come to the conclusion that it says to remove all red links. Your out of context quoting of part 2 misses entirely the point of part 1 that explain that some red links should stay as they are beneficial. I realize you thought you were repairing a broken link, but some red links are fundamental to the article and should not be removed. It's clear to me that that occurred at knot complement; it seems to have happened on at least a couple other cases I checked (but can't remember now). --C S (Talk) 20:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
