[edit] Seems u didn’t get the point,

Well u didnt quite get the point, there is nothing to do with pigs in my article,

i tested Alzheimer's patients, not pigs! lol, well thank u for the feedback!

[edit] good man

You're a good guy. I do the translations to keep my brain in French mode. I don't seem to be fluent enough to write on :fr without being shouted at. So I'll stay here for now--Wonderfool t(c) 23:25, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Anglet

Please see my response on my talk page • DanMS 21:36, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The the's, etc

You're welcome. Not sure I'm actually still planning much more on Sean Kelly: the article has been improved and expanded a lot since I put it on my 'to-do'. nice claim to fame, though! I'm not a garner, and certainly not much of a gardener -- I have a balcony with some half-dead rosemary. No, I'm a gamer, as in RPGs, board games, etc. Alai 14:18, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Your message

I'm glad their is support for this distinction between entertainers and other writers. I don't think the support exists site-wide. We have yet to see the worst of vanity insertion before the community takes action. lots of issues | leave me a message 05:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Maulana Ibne Hasan

I did a google search on "Maulana Ibne Hasan", and I get 9 results, none in english. English is the only language I speak, so I have no idea what they say. I also can't find that article now, was it speedied? --Phroziac (talk) 17:08, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

I changed my vote to keep over there. Thanks for the information. --Phroziac (talk) 20:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Random Number

As I said on the pump, it was fixed in 1.5. We're now running 1.6. This is the function I wrote to replace it:

function wfRandom() {
        # The maximum random value is "only" 2^31-1, so get two random
        # values to reduce the chance of dupes
        $max = mt_getrandmax();
        $rand = number_format( (mt_rand() * $max + mt_rand())
                / $max / $max, 12, '.', '' );
        return $rand;
}

I'm pretty sure I re-randomized all the cur_random values at the time, although I could be wrong. Getting high quality random numbers is a lot easier than it used to be, now that we have lots of Mersenne Twister implementations. Are you sure you didn't just request 1000 random pages? -- Tim Starling 07:47, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Votes for deletion/David Jasper

I added a rebuttal to your Strong keep vote on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/David Jasper. No pressure to change your vote. Just a courtesy letting you know I responded to your comments. --GraemeL (talk) 13:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Scratch that. Somebody re-wrote the article to point to the David Jasper of Glasgow University. --GraemeL (talk) 14:40, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/2d3

Was this you withdrawing the nomination? You might want to go back and clarify that. Flowerparty talk 23:40, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Brett thompson

Hi there, just wanted to let you know that you appear to have voted on this article based on viewing a vandalized version of it. You may or may not want to view the current version of Brett thompson and reconsider your vote. Cheers, JYolkowski // talk 19:19, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Marshall Poe

Yes, I thought it was interesting and added a paragraph about it (which is obviously completely out of proportion, considering how little the article currently says about his actual research; we can just hope somebody else adds more about that). Up+land 12:17, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for deletion

Hi, I noticed your entry on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Chateaus in the Highland of Castlemore, Brampton, Ontario and assumed you intended to apply it to the following articles:

I've added that comment to each article on your behalf. If I've made a mistake, please let me know, or update those AfD votes, or both. Thanks. Mindmatrix 13:53, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fake color articles

Because of the complexity of the vote at the above AfD, I have attempted to break down the individual votes on the AfD talk page. If I have misunderstood your vote with respect to any of these, please correct it. Cheers! -- BD2412 talk 12:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Koranic annotation signs

What are your intentions with Koranic annotation signs? If it's merely going to be a list of symbols it probably doesn't belong on wikipedia, however if you're going to make an article that'd be great. Also, I've moved it to User:Dlyons493/Koranic annotation signs, that way you can edit it as long as necessary without fear of it being deleted. When it's ready to withstand life in the main namespace you can move it there. --fvw* 19:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stone of Fal

Hi! I just wanted to point out that an article on the subject already exists at Lia Fáil. Since that article already contains all the information you submitted at Stone of Fal, I've taken the liberty of redirecting from there to the previously existing entry. If you want to expand it with further information, please feel free to do it at Lia Fáil. Thank you, and happy editing! - Shauri Yes babe? 22:18, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Any time, D And thanks for the lovely greeting in Spanish - hope this sad attempt in Gaelic will suffice: ehmmm... mille beannachta! or conas ta tu? Nah, forget about it - just have a nice day! Shauri Yes babe? 22:30, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article

It happens! It happened with me on Owain ap Gruffydd (which led me to write Dolbadarn Castle and Melrose Abbey) -- ended up being very interesting. The Owain article in particular made me interested in the Welsh princes. Have fun · Katefan0(scribble) 23:06, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unnotable

I will admit, I only checked Webster's, Wiktionary and Dictonary.com. Good to know it's in OED, but likely very obscure.--Nicodemus75 23:34, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

In any event, it is a noun, not an adjective. It is still not a word in the sense he used it. --Nicodemus75 23:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Le Puy-Notre-Dame

No problem! If Mary, the mother of Jesus isn't appropriate, please feel free to change it to another link. Best regards, >: Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 20:08, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Castle on the cliff

Hi there why is the castle on the cliff link up for deletion? This is very relevant to the castles section! If you delete this page then you may as well just delete the whole of wikipedia! Please rethink. (Goplett 19:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Corporate Knowledge

Thanks - I should have read to the bottom. It was just too painful. Dlyons493 Talk 20:45, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

No problem. This isn't my favourite reading material either. I could barely get myself to the second paragraph... :) Owen× ☎ 20:59, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] French communes

Hi. So how should we go about it? We gotta agree on a template for the infobox for a start. Come join Wikipedia:WikiProject French communes then at least we have a single place for discussion. Smb1001 21:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fjellstrand skole

The article which you commented on during Articles for Deletion has been properly translated/rewritten, should you wish to reconsider your vote. Silensor 17:34, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Journalist's RFA

Thanks
Thanks

I want to thank you very much for your vote on my RFA. Greatly apperciated, I owe you one! ?Journalist >>talk<< 00:01, 28 September 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Jaxl's RfA

Hi Dlyons, thank you for your support and your commment on my RfA! Robert 16:16, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NVC communities

Thanks for your comment. You're right, the article title is longer than I would wish, but I think it needs to be, as the title is the name of the thing that the article is about. I don't expect users to type these full names in, they would usually follow a link or they may wish to type in the name in abbreviated form (e.g. just the community abbreviation, CG3 etc). Eventually I will create redirects or disambigs for all of these, but that's low down my priority list unfortunately; feel free to do that yourself though - the full list of communities can be found from the NVC category page SP-KP 17:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Yogi Tea

I have done some research for the Yogi Tea article. However, I will be placing it at Yogi Tea. Yogi tea is a type tea similar to chai. There may be a connection between Yogi tea and Yogi Tea Company as their basic ingredients (cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, etc.) are the same. As such I will change my vote on the vfd to an outright delete or a redirect to Yogi Tea, whichever you believe is best. After I create the article I will support a move to "The Yogi Tea Company" if this matches naming conventions. --maclean25 21:18, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

My dear Dlyons, thank you so much for your good wishes. At your current rate of quality and quantity of contributions, it's only a matter of a short time until I'm the one supporting and congratulating you. If you ever need my help, please don't hesitate to call me; you've got a friend over here. Hugs! Slán go fóill, Shauri Yes babe? 01:18, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gyrofrog RfA

I just wanted to thank you for your vote of support in my request for adminship! -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:38, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CP

Hi, you've reported copyright infringements to WP:CP in the last week, a new measure was recently passed to allow the speedy deltion of new pages that are cut and paste copyvios. Please follow these instructions if you come across this type of copyvio. Thanks. --nixie 00:28, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Blatant copyright infringements may now be "speedied"

If an article and all its revisions are unquestionably copied from the website of a commercial content provider and there is no assertion of permission, ownership or fair use and none seems likely, and the article is less than 48 hours old, it may be speedily deleted. See CSD A8 for full conditions.

After notifying the uploading editor by using wording similar to:

{{nothanks-sd|pg=page name|url=url of source}} -- ~~~~

Blank the page and replace the text with

{{db-copyvio|url=url of source}}

to the article in question, leaving the content visible. An administrator will examine the article and decide whether to speedily delete it or not.

[edit] Ashwood University

I have rewritten the entry into a non-advertisement. (I won't say it's neutral.) As you voted to delete it you might wish to take a second look at the article as it is now. Pilatus 02:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] OwenX's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA. Your kind words are well appreciated. Owen× ☎ 22:16, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for supporting my RfA

Dear Dlyons493: I would like to thank you very much for your support on my RfA. I am most honoured by the trust that has been placed in me by yourself and other members of the Wikipedia community, especially since I did not conform to the standard edit-count criteria usually expected of administrator candidates. My forté on Wikipedia is, as you so kindly pointed out, in dispute resolution, and I promise to only use my administrative privileges to assist the community in achieving peace and tidying up around Wikipedia. I also promise to be calm, considerate and careful in working to make Wikipedia a better place. I look forward to working with you on Wikipedia in the future. Best regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) (e-mail) (cabal) 04:15, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Irish beer

Sorry you find fault with my Irish beer things. I did feel they were weak in parts too, but they started in my trying to put structure to the whole beer area, and some of the stubs were not great (and some of the references are not good). Bits that I wrote were by request and I used the sources I had at the time. But please complain if you think things I have written are wrong (or fix them or both). Alas I havent been to Ireland for about four years now... Justinc 23:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

Hi there. I see you have blanked off Giacomo Marini due to copyright violation. However, from what I can see, the text that you removed does not appear to be a copy from the web page that you cite [1]. Please could you explain why you think the article was a copyright violation? (I recognise I might be missing something here). Thanks, Enchanter 03:01, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Qaz's RFA

Thanks for your kind words and your support vote. I try to stay positive in tone so thanks for noticing it. Qaz (talk) 11:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Google scholar

Btw. How did you figure only 6 Google Scholar hits for "David Mertz" when the actual number returned is 67—though only 38 of those are the right person? Were you assuming everything non-IBM must be somebody other than me? Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 20:03, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Last poems

Great! I've changed the nomination. It should be tagged as a stub though. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza 10:24, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

My bad, I assumed you knew how to do it. Just go to WP:WSS/ST pick an approppriate tag template (in this case {{book-stub}}) and put it at the end of the article. Let me know if you have any other questions :-) -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza 11:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I've changed my vote to keep based on your rewrite.--Isotope23 13:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DJ Quietstorm

You voted to delete DJ Quietstorm, and I can't blame you the way it looked :-) However I've found some evidence of notability, and cleaned up the article. Perhaps you'd like to take another look, and think about changing your vote? the wub "?!" 18:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support on my RfA!

[edit] Talk:Femme Fetale

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I have removed an AFD tag that you posted to this Femme Fetale page. I read the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Femme_Fetale and it seems you decided to redirect the page 5 days ago, however, the afd tag was left on the page. I found this page at random and it did not redirect me as intended. I have again explained my actions, and reason for removing the tag on the redirects talk page. I think I have done the correct thing, but please tell me if I have not. Thanks. -- Malo 08:41, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Wow... I've never sent so many messages in so little time.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you for supporting my bid to be a sysop. I haven't had to use my new dustbuster yet, but I'm glad it's available when I absolutely, positively have to use it, and I will use it properly.  Denelson83  22:12, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support - my bid (as you probably know) went swimmingly. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you very much and I just hope I don't mess up! I don't yet know you so your support meant that little bit more... --Celestianpower hablamé 13:11, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Ali whatever the rest of it was

Heya,

Well, in that case, I would say put a tag on the article. I would suggest the {{NPOV}} one. Otherwise.. I'm just doing my job. Linuxbeak | Talk 00:40, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adeptia BPM Server

Keep in mind that we now have CSD A8, which is speedy for copyvios. All of these articles are copyvios and could have been tagged as such. Please don't hesitate to add a copyvio and speedy tag for articles that are in violation, it's much easier and faster than full AfD. Even if something is already on AfD, we can get rid of it that much faster if you go ahead and speedy it. Thanks for the vigilance, keep up the good work. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 03:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maryville Middle School appears in danger of being trumped by a conspicuous and concerted effort on the part of deletionists. Please review the nomination and vote at your convenience.--Nicodemus75 06:51, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfA comment

Thank you for your comments and message for my RfA. I can understand your desire to be consistent but would ask in the spirit of List of Kilkenny people that you reconsider your vote for me to neutral because I only contacted 8 persons within missing encyclopedic articles with whom I had previously talked to or had contributed to the Catholic Encyclopedia project and in a very neutral fashion. Either way, your constructive criticism is appreciated. Reflex Reaction 20:10, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello Dlyons493. Although, you did not vote support, I would like you to know that I appreciate your vote and good judgement to see some of the pov-motivated votes against me. Thanks --a.n.o.n.y.m t 19:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Absolutely. I understand that it's very hard to read and I respect your vote. Please see my contributions if you wish to clarify the matter. Thank you a.n.o.n.y.m t 20:44, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your consideration of the Rfa. Yes, I think it was the right time to withdraw for now and thank for offering me re-nomination. I may hope to accept it in a few months. ;) --a.n.o.n.y.m t 20:17, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

Hi Dlyons493. I have followed this editor's activities for the last four months or so. I would request you to spend some time in going through his contributions. I assure you that you will not find any vandalism or false statements by him. However, at least I have found very obvious attempts on his part to somehow present only one side of the picture on various issues. Other users who try to balance such articles are harassed to a point such that they get sick of it and give up, or even leave wikipedia. I have hardly seen an attempt on his part to discuss with an open mind or try to reach a consensus. His contribution typically begins with a revert, without any clarification. Any discussion that follows soon degrades to a low level, with him accusing the editor of vandalism, sockpuppetry, etc, mostly without any evidence. I guess I can say many more things, but it would be better if you go through his contributions in the past 4-5 months (see especially talk pages) and make your own judgement. deeptrivia 01:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] afd helper

I have built a script to speed up voting on AFDs and am looking for feedback. Please have a go! jnothman talk 11:44, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

The install is the same, regardless of the browser. Just edit User:Dlyons493/monobook.js and paste in the script:
/**** afd helper ****/
document.write('<script type="text/javascript"' +
  'src="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Jnothman/afd_helper/' +
  'script.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

function Main()
{
 afd_helper();
 // You may include here other "extensions"
}
window.onload = Main;

/* This is to keep track of who is using this extension: [[User:Jnothman/afd_helper/script.js]] */
save that and then return to your profile page. The monobook.js file is automatically loaded with each wiki page, but it's cached so you need to force it to be reloaded - simply press shift (or is it ctrl) while hitting the reload button.
Thanks/wangi 12:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


"Now what would be excellent would be something to automate the 3-step process of nominating for AfD" -- well I've now built that, but not tested it. If you're using the script (and the browser cache is fresh), you should see a link in your toolbox, to the left, when viewing article pages in the main namespace.

Good work so far, but shouldn't the list of parties be made into to links, each of those parties would be deserving of an article. Ideally the article should also be in a category. - SimonP 17:09, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I've added a category, while the article still isn't perfect, I don't think it needs a wikify tag. - SimonP 17:23, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA and interested in your own RFA?

I want to thank you for your vote in my very impatient quick RFA.Its probaly going to be no-consious and I was too quick to think than wait for Essjay to nominate me on December 1st I understand your oppose vote and another thing. I always see you in AFD and Im pleased with your work. Interested in nominating you for adminship as you are more qualified than me for it right now. Let me know so I could create your RFA Thanks --JAranda | watz sup 01:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

  • If it fails which is likely I think Redwolf24 or Essjay is going to nominate me for admin in December which is not a self-norm. You should think about RFA right now you whould clearly pass.You have more than 3 months in Project, 2400 edits and one of the most active users I see in AFD as well so its a easy pass. But I still accpet your decition. Thanks for your response

[edit] AFD Nomination Helper

You wrote "There may be some issue with the Afd Template appearing on the page?" From the looks of the history, the afd on Erustication didn't complete... But if the one on Blannoying worked, I don't see why, and you may have accidentally cancelled...? With regards to all the popup windows: I didn't want to do it like that originally; I wanted a split 3-way frame, but Wikipedia doesn't like frames and escapes them at all opportunities. Thanks for trying this out, and I'm glad to hear it sort of works! jnothman talk 22:35, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

You are putting Reverting vandalism by 168.8.230.251, but there was no edits by this IP, and you are removing random content. Please stop or explain these actions. Thank you. «»Who?¿?meta 01:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for replying. I thought that's what you were doing, but some of them seemed like vandalism, like changing "female" to "femail" and they were very sporadic. I was not sure if your account was hijacked or what, as I didn't see the IP in the immediate history, on the ones I checked quickly. I will go thru the contribs and try to help out.

[edit] Template:Irish Republic infobox

A user is trying to have the Template:Irish Republic infobox deleted. Your comments would be welcome. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 21:36, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Sure. The template can be seen working in Irish Republic. The nomination to delete is at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion. It strikes me as one of the most ridiculous nominations I have ever seen on WP. It is a perfectly working template in standard form. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 21:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Research in ireland

The existing text was a copyvio and I tagged it as such. I did notice your offer of a re-write, so please let me know if you do re-write it, and I'll change my opinion to a keep. --GraemeL (talk) 14:07, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I stumbled across this article this morning because of a minor irregularity in the afd's closing. I noticed that the article started out as a clear copyright violation from the web site, and that your rewrite was incremental instead of complete. This makes the article a derivative work, which infringes the original authors' copyright as much as if it had been left in place, even if none of the original text remained (and several sentences still do - see the diff between the first and current revisions]).
Most likely the owners of the web site actually placed the article there in the first place as an attempt at advertisement, and they'd likely grant permission if I sent them a confirmation of permission email; however, if it was someone else who copied it into Wikipedia, or if they disliked the way the article was rewritten, we would have to delete it when they complained - including the portions that you were the sole author of.
What, ideally, needs to be done here is for the article to be rewritten on a temp page without working from the original text or any of the revisions directly derived from it. It would most likely be sufficient, in practical terms, to place the first two paragraphs (which, so far as I can tell, do not contain any derivative text) in a temp article, delete the original, and move that in. This would have to be done before anyone else makes a substantive edit, unless those edits were discarded; otherwise, we'd be infringing their copyright. —Cryptic (talk) 16:48, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vilamoura International School

From Mgm on 16:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC).
From Mgm on 16:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC).

I don't like how the anon compared schools and bus stops, they are two totally unrelated things, but the fact remains that the article was pretty crappy. If people on AFD need to look for information to determine whether the article should be kept outside of Wikipedia, the article creator did a bad job. If you can expand the article to include something that's unique to this school or just a few more, I think it has a very good chance at being kept (excluding votes by people who say all schools should be included no matter how much the article sucks). Feel free to get back to me once you've expanded it, so I can consider changing my vote. - Mgm|(talk) 16:40, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

  • By the way, I appreciate the fact you are actually doing something to improve the article rather than voting keep and leaving a substub for all eternity. Actually expanding a school article is much better than moaning about it being on AFD. Have a WikiThanks flower and keep up the effort. - Mgm|(talk) 16:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blop

It may be a good idea to review your votes on some of ComChat's nominations. If you find his actions disruptive, please start an RFC, or contribute to one if it already exists. The particular article this AFD refers to (Blop) is entirely nonsensical and it would be very bad to keep it just because ComChat nominated it. Please vote based on the article that is being discussed. - Mgm|(talk) 10:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Meelick hurling club

Hi, I did some searching on the subject on wikipedia. Basically, it seems that there aren't any articles on individual Hurling clubs per se, they're listed on the Galway GAA and similar pages with usually very little information. You could start a Meelick GAA article and move the relevant information from the hurling club article there. I even found a link from google [2] might have some more info. - Bobet 12:28, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

  • I've replied about your thoughts on this article on my talk page. I'll copy them here:
The question is whether there is anything else worth writing. Looking at the present ramblings, it would be left as a one or two line stub, unlikely to improve. Maybe it would be best to just leave it, and if it really is notable for that fact alone, mention it in hurling. Harro5 21:31, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Wouldn't it just be best to make the improvements to the article - if there's enough for it to be useful as a stub - and let the AFD play out, or even be withdrawn, as a result? Otherwise it will simply be deleted and no one will think twice. Harro5 21:46, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mel Stizel

Unfortunately, the original author made a mistake in naming this article. It should be called Mel Stitzel, who was a pianist with the New Orleans Rhythm Kings. He has writing or co-writing credits for several notable songs in the 1920's with three links from Music in 1923, 1924 and 1926 respectively to Mel Stitzel.

I have rewritten the article to establish notability and suggest moving to Mel Stitzel. I would be grateful if you could take a look. Capitalistroadster 05:16, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
