[edit] I accept

I accept your offer to adopt me. --Buzz 22:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Comperr. I guess most of my questions are about the technical process of editing. I should probably just sit down and play with all the formatting buttons and whatnot, but I suppose I get impatient, and I want to have the same understanding of Wikipedia formatting that I have of Microsoft Word (without the years of experience... :) ) --Buzz 17:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I replied on your talk page. I do need to figure out a beter way to communicate

[edit] Your Edits to Conservative Judaism

You have been adding unsourced, POV edits to Conservative Judaism in the introductory sections. The issue isn't whether Conservative Judaism's claims are right or wrong, the issue is Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy doesn't permit editors to state that a religious denomination's religious beliefs are false as part of the introduction to an article on that denomination. See Criticism of Conservative Judaism for more information about criticism. You have been previously warned about this, we can read the parts of your talk page you deleted. Please be aware that repeatedly doing this after being warned is considered Vandalism and can result in your getting BLOCKED, as has happened before. Also, erasing warnings from your Talk page is also considered vandalism. Please discuss your disagreements with the article on the article's talk page, Talk:Conservative Judaism. --Shirahadasha 02:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI I posted a reply on your talk page. I am also going to add that if you look THERE WERE SOURCES to most of the additions. To the ones that had none I was going on the sources ones. Comperr 00:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I agree there are plenty of sources who say Conservative Judaism's behavior isn't consistent with its statements. There are a number on the Criticism of Conservative Judaism article and I've personally added some of them. You're welcome to add more. Nonetheless, Wikipedia's policy entitles Conservative Judaism to say what its beliefs are, and it believes it is behaving in accordance with Halakha as it interprets it. Wikipedia has to report this belief, along with others who disagree. I personally don't really like splitting off the Criticism section into its own article. I seems to me something of a POV fork. However, it seems to be a common practice in religion articles, see e.g. Criticism of Judaism, Criticism of Christianity, Criticism of Islam. Since Wikipedia seems to accept this approach in articles on religion generally, there's no reason not to permit here. Best, --Shirahadasha 05:19, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I quote conservative leaders that say there own religion does not follow the accepted hallakah. This is not criticism but actually part of their religion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.168.160.116 (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Ratepayers Party in the UK Template

I have just noticed that the Ratepayers (who control Elmbridge council in England) do not have a template and was wondering if you could create one for them. Their registered name is "Ratepayers" and their registered party colour is cyan. Harry Hayfield 11:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yo Master...

Can we Disambiguate the Master in your Wikimarkup userbox? --Knulclunk 05:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OPV request

Hi there. This is in response to your request on my talk page to be added to the OP verified user list. I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline your request as you don't meet the minimum 400 mainspace edit minimum requirement. I hope you understand that we have to be quite careful who gets mention on that list, and it's necessary for all members to be both fully competent in verifying open proxies *and* in WP policies and practice. Please, keep on doing what you're doing, and if you're still interested after you've spent a month or so more editing the wiki, don't hesitate to ask again. Thanks. AmiDaniel (talk) 07:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, sure. Thanx for letting me know why I was declined. -I should also point out that thisuser is a sock for anon edits.

[edit] JavaScript not working properly

Hello. One of the scripts in my monobook.js isn't working, and I was wondering if you could help. (I'm asking you because your userboxes say you're an expert at JavaScript and Wiki markup.) The problem is with the Twinkle script, which I installed recently. Basically, none of the buttons work, and they all give various error messages when I click on them. I use Windows XP Home Edition and my browser is Mozilla Firefox 2.002. If you have time, could you take a look at the JavaScript for Twinkle and/or my JavaScript to see if there's something wrong with the script or if one of my other scripts is incompatible?

Also, if it would help, you can look at my discussion with the script's creator, AzaToth, when I asked him if he knew what was causing it. I've already tried purging the server cache and bypassing the browser cache, and it doesn't help. Another strange thing about this is that on another computer I often use with Firefox 1.0, the user warning, restore version, and speedy deletion functions work, but the rollback buttons and other things don't. Thanks, Pyrospirit Flames Fire 15:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I will look into it in a bit. I am a little busy now.

[edit] Could you help?

I am trying to set up a small wiki for me and others on this messageboard I post at. I wanted to use Template:Infobox VG and figured that my wiki is the same type as Wikipedia, I could just copy it. However, it's not working: [1], could you maybe help? TJ Spyke 09:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

sure

please give me more details Comperr 03:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help? Templates as pseudo-php pages...?

Hi, I'm currently trying to knock together a template that operates a bit like a php page, and can't work out how to do it! I wonder if you'd mind seeing if you could suggest anything?

What I want to be able to do is to link years to geological time. I use the template

{{Ma|599.9}}

to produce text like 599.9 million years ago, and I want the number to link to a second template, which produces this:


[edit] Timeline

This timeline shows how 599.9 million years relates to the planetary timescale.

599.9 million years ago↓



Millions of years ago



However I only want a link to the timeline - it shouldn't be displayed in the article! So can I generate a link to a page Template:ShowMa?yearsago=599.9 that will generate the template with the specified digits? Or will I have to create a separate page for every year of Earth's long history?

Many thanks!

Verisimilus 13:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yes you can

Just use Template:Ma/599.9

Wow! That was far too easy. Thanks a lot! | Verisimilus 05:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Ur Welcome

[edit] Help with template

Hello. I am the creator of Template:WPAustin, and I would like some help, because when I put it on an article's talk page to rate the article, it puts the contents of the talk page into the template. There are also other problems with it. Thanks in advance. Sahmeditor 21:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

sure...let me see.

it works for me in the sandbox when I put it like {{Template:WPAustin}}. What exactly is the problem? Comperr 22:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I got it fixed. Sahmeditor(Æetlr Creejl NSF) 00:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

OK.

Comperr 00:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


By the way, why do you have the contents of my userbox subpage on your userbox subpage? Sahmeditor(Æetlr Creejl NSF) 20:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I am planning on going through some of the userboxes and taking the ones I like....

Comperr 22:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Sahmeditor(Æetlr Creejl NSFsign here, please) 23:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Ma/599.9

If you wish to object to its deletion, please list your objection here and feel free to remove the {{deprecated}} tag from the template. If you feel the deletion is appropriate, no further action is necessary. Thanks for your attention. --MZMcBride 20:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I object to the removing of this template do to its use by user above

Comperr 04:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "The proxy has been disabled for wikipedia....any further access to wikipeda is myself only."

Decline reason: "There are no blocks in our log; you're autoblocked. Follow these instructions instead. — WODUP 06:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

{unblock-auto |1=24.45.36.107|2={{blockedproxy}}|3=ST47}

The check I did says this is still a TOR node. I'll contact the blocking admin for you; maybe he will know better what you can do to convince him that there is no further issue. Mangojuicetalk 19:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
This is still a tor node; however I have added *wikipedia* to blocklist.txt so any future connections come from myself and not from a tor user.
I consulted with ST47, who checked, and has unblocked the IP. You should be able to edit now; if not, there are sometimes glitches in the first couple of days, so just try back in a day or two. Welcome to Wikipedia! Mangojuicetalk 20:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you

[edit] Template:Ma/599.9

According to this, the template isn't being transcluded anywhere. Is there any reason for it continuing to exist? Cheers. --MZMcBride 01:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Try asking user:Verisimilus -- he was the one who asked me to make it

[edit] Have you time to review a template?

Hey there. I'm currently working on a talk page template, {{MoSElement}}. I wonder if you might have a look and offer any comments?

Specifically: I'd like to make it collapsible (right before the list of things), but I can't find any docs on how to make it work. I've tried scouring the code of collapsible boxes, but I can't work it out. Any guidance you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. – Scartol · Talk 14:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project Template

For some reason when an article is labeled "Category class" with the project template, Template:WikiProject Central Asia, it is automatically added to Category:Unassessed Central Asia-related articles. Could you look at it and see why it does that and make it stop? Thanks! Aelfthrytha 19:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Y

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Autoblock of 24.45.43.202 lifted or expired. The IP is no longer a TOR node as of my check.

[edit] Pascal's Wager

Hi, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "It is mentioned in the book 'improbable'". Please clarify before readding. THanks, and all the best, <KF> 17:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
