[edit] Sinebot

I noticed your comment on the Reference Desk about sinebot always thinking you haven't signed even when you have. The reason for this is that your signature doesn't directly link to your userpage. It links to User:Esskater11, which redirects to your user page. I'm not quite sure why you have it like this, as User:Esskater11 has never actually been created, but never mind. If you'd like sinebot to stop following you around, simply edit your signature to link directly to your user page. Raven4x4x (talk) 08:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

In case you're still interested, can you kindly update your information? Or, if you're not interested any more, would you mind removing yourself?

[edit] M4 Carbine

I noticed you self reverted your reference tag with the edit summary that you f**ked up the formatting. I fixed it for you in the way I thought you had intended it.

[edit] Customising the 'new messages' banner

(This is in reply to a Help Desk question.) This is entirely possible. To change the banner's colour to your own view, you can add some code to your monobook.css. Here's some code last used on April Fool's Day, for instance, that makes it green instead:

.usermessage {
    background-color: #CFFFCF;
    border: 1px solid #66E566;
}

It's possible to use different code to change its colour or other details; if you have something specific in mind, let me know. Hope that helps! --ais523 15:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's possible to change the text color. Here's the above, but with white text:
.usermessage {
    background-color: #CFFFCF;
    border: 1px solid #66E566;
    color: #FFFFFF;
}
.usermessage a {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}
This generalises to other text colors in the same way. (The .usermessage a changes the colours of links in the bar.) Hope that helps! --ais523 08:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

Hello. You may have seen that some Wikipedia articles lack sources to given dates, timelines and chronologies.
If you feel that you could like to help in making all articles more reliable and well sourced in this regard, we would like to encourage you to use, as part of your daily editing and when {{fact}} is not enough for requesting clearly and specifically a citation or source for dates, timeline or chronology, the following inline tags:

{{Histfact}} displays {history source needed} for requesting sources for historical claims and history context. Click here for more information
{{Timefact}} displays {chronology source needed} for requesting timelines, dates and chronology sources. Click here for more information


At WP Timeline Tracer, we thank you for using these tools and for helping to make Wikipedia articles more accurate and reliable.

[edit] Question

Hello! How is adding a published source vandalism? Anyway, I clarified what the source said and who Rick Baker is in relation to Infinity Ward. I fixed my edit a bit further. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 22:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heckler & Koch MP5

Regarding this. I'm well aware that weapon fans like yourself would like to keep that ugly reference out of the article, but there are two sources, the information is relevant to the article topic and it is in the best interest of our reader to mention it in one single sentence. Removing referenced information in this POV manner can be considered vandalism among other policy violations. If you don't want to revert yourself, I expect you at least file for an independent third opinion, or an WP:RFC. User:Dorftrottel 23:52, February 10, 2008

AGF does not override common-sense. Judging by your user page, you are a weapon fan, and it is reasonable to assume that your edit reflects a non-encyclopedic interest to keep that specific information out of the article. As I said, WP:3 or WP:RFC. User:Dorftrottel 00:25, February 11, 2008
3RR? Did you actually click on WP:3? It is a link to Wikipedia:Third opinion, not to Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Speaking of which, I filed for a third opinion and you may want to present your arguments at Talk:Heckler & Koch MP5#Red Army Faction / WP:3. User:Dorftrottel 00:50, February 11, 2008
No prob. User:Dorftrottel 00:56, February 11, 2008

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:BanzaiRabbit.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BanzaiRabbit.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 02:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parkville

What part of Parkville are you from. I live near the seven-eleven. :) So exciting seeing the neighborhood crack addicts and whore go in.

No! I have no idea where that is...past Puddy Hill? God, I am so clueless about this neighborhood. I really am Hamilton trash, born there. And lived for about 8 years there. I have lived two years in parkville. Yet, I have no idea where there is a 'Pop Shop'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Royboy999 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Easy there...

While a sense of humour is appreciated, you're getting a little too off-colour for the stodgy old farts on the Ref Desk with comments like this: [2]. People 'round these parts get a bit twitchy over humour that relates to the nudity of minors. Word to the wise. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 04:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your AWB edit in Category:Animal stubs

Hi, I reverted this AWB edit in Category:Animal stubs. I don't know what you tried to accomplish, but the edit broke the page by moving the {{Template}} tags to the end of the page. It might be a good idea to use the Preview button of AWB. --Silvonen (talk) 05:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : Issue XXVII (May 2008)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter
Issue XXVII (May 2008)
Project news
  • Editors needed for Tag & Assess 2008. To coincide with the summer holidays, it will be gearing up from 15 June. As usual, barnstars galore!
  • Partner peer reviews: for a thirty-day trial period, we'll be running joint peer reviews with Wikiproject Video Games. The idea is simple: we help with their reviews; they help with ours. This way both wikiprojects benefit from new reviewers and new ideas!
  • We're notable: A new book, Simon Fowler's 2007 Guide to Military History on the Internet (UK:Pen & Sword, ISBN 9781844156061) rates Wikipedia as "the best general resource" for military research (p. 7). Of the military pages, he says: "The results are largely accurate and generally free of bias" (he also suggests people join the wikiproject). When rating WP as the No. 1 military site (p. 201) he says "Wikipedia is often criticised for its inaccuracy and bias, but in my experience the military history articles are spot on."
  • A-Class reviews: the usual four-day review period may now be extended by up to three days (ie seven days in total) in the following circumstances:
  1. the article has no opposes but has insufficient support for promotion or
  2. the article's nominator requests more time to resolve matters arising during the review.
