[edit] Er, what?

As per this message, I am kinda curious as to why you would think this was my account. I placed the new user template there after the user began contributing to Jack the Ripper and then offered to help the newbie out with any questions they might have. Please let me know if this fixes the confusion. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:55, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I didn't think it was your user, and there is nothing wrong with offering people help and welcoming them, but on this IP you had done it on his user page and talk page. As you probably now, you aren't meant to put thoes templates on user pages. I pressed wrong on TW, and acctually meant to tag it for speedy deletion. --EivindJ (talk) 15:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but could you point out where we are directed to put user shortcut templates? Welcome templates are one thing; user shortcuts are quite another. Additionally, why were you tagging a user page for speedy deletion? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 00:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
IP's aren't supposed to have user pages, and the shortcut templates should be put on the talk page. This is the normal way to do it. Of course, when someone has done double posting, I nominate the one of them for speedy deletion. What is the problem? Offended that it was deleted? This is normal housekeeping. --EivindJ (talk) 09:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Smith's Friends - Teachings

EivindJ, could you explain the changes in the Talk Page? This is a major edit. I suspect it's a translation from the Norwegian - but a brief explanation on the Smith's Friends Talk page would be appreciated. Coigrich (talk) 16:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting the language :) ... and yes, an explanation is given. --EivindJ (talk) 21:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I will, someday, but first I got some vandals to stop ;) --EivindJ (talk) 08:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

i created test pages and got ur msgs immediately! sorry for creating those 4 pagse, i created them becasue i was testing out whether if i change page4, page 1 will aslo get updated or not. thanks! User:Actualkaratekid

I see, no problem. I understand that there is a need to try things out the first times, and I think all admins will understand that. Next time, consider doing as Onorem says on your talk page :) --EivindJ (talk) 12:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] apartment buildings

Wikipedia actually has quite a number of articles about apartment buildings, but of course they need to be notable ones. So thanks for catching Aamr Silver Oaks, which certainly is not one of them--alas, it does not qualify under speedy A7--only the types of articles listed there do. Therefore I changed the tag to a prod, using {{subst:prod|non notable: article about a small apartment building}}. If by any chance the tag is removed, it'll have to go to AfD, but I doubt it will be. DGG (talk) 13:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me! I'm not yet into the en.wiki templates properly (more templates here than on no.wiki), but I'm writing down the different ones as I see them (+ how to use them). I'm thankful for all the feedback I get! --EivindJ (talk) 13:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Left you a reply on my talk page. --Ubardak (talk) 08:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Harry (derogatory term)

I have nominated Harry (derogatory term), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harry (derogatory term). 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Deiz talk 14:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just to let you know...

When you add an interwiki to a template, like Template:AFDWarning, it's usually best to wrap the interwiki in the <noinclude> block. Otherwise, when you use the template, the interwiki link will show up on all of the pages that the template is on. Thanks, Kesac (talk) 01:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, my slip-up. Thanks for making me aware :) --Eivind (t) 10:26, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:BIA CSD

Hi there. I see that you added a CSD to WP:BIA. You might want to be aware that WP:BIA was recently restored due to a DRV which ended up as Overturned. Further, it is currently undergoing a community discussion for deletion. Thus, tagging it as CSD in inappropriate for the above two reasons. Might you reconsider? Bstone (talk) 01:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Of course, but when I tagged it it was a broken redirect. The page that it redirects to has been restored after my tagging. See the deletion history. I reckon it's appropriate to tag a broken redirect at any time. --Eivind (t) 09:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Uploading

Hey buddy,

Thaks for your response, I had a good chuckle with the welcome cookies.

I am trying to upload an image froim a web site that is free to use.

They have provided it in a media centre where anybody can go and uploaded it.

I even called them to make sure it was okay and they said it was fine.

How do I get Wikipedia to understand this, and allow me to upload the image?

Thanks agaain.

Look forward to hearing from you. Yitzhaac Pesach (talk) 20:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! Of course, if it's not specified anywhere, you will have to get it written that they allow you to upload the picture. What kind of problems have you been met with so far? They delete due to lack of permission? --Eivind (t) 23:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey,

I just wanted to say thanks for your response.

My question was answered.

I appreciate your time —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yitzhaac Pesach (talk • contribs) 12:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
