[edit] No problem

He showed up on "Filter recent changes" and I watched his contributions. --Maxamegalon2000 02:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I always visualize people using "scare quotes" with the word contributions in that context. c.c ~Kylu (u|t) 02:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wind Help

Thanks a lot Kylu. I'll try to do some more research Lewallen 05:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I'm just sorry the answer wasn't that great. Copyright problems suck. :(

~Kylu (u|t) 05:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

For protecting my page against vandalism. --Molobo 11:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 01:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppet

Uh, I was going down General Eisenhower's talk page, and I saw that you were speculating that I was a sockpuppet of GeorgeMoney! Ha! XD In what way am I similar to GeorgeMoney? God, I wish I'd seen this before. This is so much fun. Oh, yeah, sorry to bring this up, I know it happend a while ago, but...y'know. It's very interesting. Sergeant Snopake 15:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm so sorry, that was someone else's comment! It was just under yours, and I thought you'd just put it there as an after thought. The actual comment owner had signed their name underneath, but I was just so het up about people thinking I was a sock puppet, I just didn't notice. Bet I look like a freak now, huh? Sorry. Sergeant Snopake 16:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 :D It's okay, kinda think of it as a {{tl|test-self} "You fixed your own mistake" kinda thing. I don't mind, personally, and am glad it happened with me instead of someone who'd take offense and beat you over the head with it! (Some people on here, from what I've seen, might literally beat someone over the head...) Have a wonderful day!

~Kylu (u|t) 01:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You are forgiven

I am not ashamed of you, I forgive you, and you are a good person. I can say this about you. The true struggle is for you to be able to say this about yourself.--'Angel' 00:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks! ^.^ ~Kylu (u|t) 02:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help with Namespace

Dear Kylu, Thanks for pointing it out. Have not quite understood the issue so I will request your help. Please move the page for me. Can you point me to an understanding of namespace on Wikipedia? AshLin 01:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Done, will reply on your talkpage! Glad to be of assistance! :D

For your RC patrol work; you're doing a great job. Appreciate it! Hello from a fellow musician by the way.  :-) Antandrus (talk) 02:51, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome... it was a great climb up to the top.  :-) Cheers, and keep up the good work, Antandrus (talk) 03:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quick Question

Thank you for your note, but I just want to ask a quick question. Have you deleted my note on Mr. Kenworthy's talk page, or do I jave to do it? Do I have to do anything at all? ISD 06:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. I've got it covered, don't worry! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 14:18, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Song lyrics

Per your comment on the Copyright Problems page - song lyrics are not covered by fair use, and should not be used on Wikipedia. A line or two is probably OK, but definitely not a whole song. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 21:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I've seen other pages that included them on Wikipedia but was unsure of precedent on the matter. Now I can go hunt all the copyvios down! BWAHAHA! ... er, sorry. c.c

~Kylu (u|t) 21:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

It's nice to be on here! I'm not very good yet at making this look fancy, but it's nice to be here. --Reganwherearthou 23:28, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Give it time, it'll come. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 23:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

...for reverting vandalism to my user page. Cheers. Srikeit^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 05:08, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Hee, no problem! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 05:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A (pink) RFA thank you!

(I thought I'd make this pink so that it doesn't clash with the rest of the page :-))

Thanks for your support, and the kind things you said about me, both in support, and in reply to other people. Perhaps I was wrong about you, I always had you pegged as an old hand... ;) Jude (talk) 11:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Ooh, I should reply to everyone in blinding pink from now on. o.o Thanks for the idea!

I remember the gist of an old saying about being online, back from my BBS days:

"Computers are a great equalizer. Online communities, in general, don't care if you're rich or poor,

black or white, young or old. What matters is what's in your head. Your social skills, technical

skills, and accumulated knowledge." ~unknown

I may very well have been a Wikipedia user previously (I find it fun to keep people in the dark on

my previous experience, makes it so they don't have preconceived notions) but you'll never get an

admission one way or another on it! :D

In return, Jude, I'd like to thank you for putting up with me and my quirks both here and on IRC.

I find our little group of friends to be more endearing every day. n.n

Congratulations, again, on your new Adminship! I'll probably pester you again tonight.

~Kylu (u|t) 19:49, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First thing as a wiki registered user

I've been a Wiki user for some time and decided to register, I just saw your messege and make one of the biggest smiles of my life :P. I wish every Wikipedian were like you. :) --Kwik.IA 22:51, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

If it were true, this would be a very, very pink Wikipedia... but thank you! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 23:10, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Hi Kylu thanks for the introduction. As you can see my Userpage needs some spice. I was wondering if you could explain to me how to create the Userboxes. Thanks Nofate 23:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Will reply on your user talkpage. :) ~Kylu (u|t)

Hehe, no problem! Just glad to help. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 21:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grateful for demonstrated support of science for the good of global humanity

Dear Kylu,

Thank you! Its my daughter's birthday today, and I get a birthday gift(the userbox)! Its beautiful! Nice image too!

Such unexpected help and support reinforce my faith in the open source movement in general and Wikipedia in particular. A new slogan for Wikipedia,

good people to contribute with.

///I am adding your name to our project. No, you are NOT expected to do anything at all in return. You've done quite a lot already. Consider it a recognition of your tacit support. You can however do as much as you wish./// now redundant. Talk of dropping a brick! Sorry :(.

A question. Can I change the image later on to moth from butterfly if I want?

Thanks once again AshLin 03:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think I'm already listed on there, I've still got fifty zillion butterfly families to add headers to. o.o;;

Anywho, if you'd like to change the userbox, just click on the link in {{user WPLepidoptera}} and click "Edit". Everything you could possibly want to change is right there! Just make sure you preview first, or you'll mess up everyone's page that's using it! :D

One thing I'd avoid changing, though, would be the size of the userbox. Some people (uh, like me) have a LOT of userboxes all put together, and when you start changing sizes they get broken apart. My problem, I realize, but it'd be nice to let that one thing stay stable!

If you'd rather not do the editing, just point me to the picture you'd like, tell me what colors you want to use (this is a good link to pick colors, by the way) and any other changes, and I'll do them for you if you want!

Hope you enjoy editing here at Wikipedia! ~Kylu (u|t) 03:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Woodbridge, CT

Hi Kylu,

With due respect... but why are you & Rlevse reverting my edits? I have in Woodbridge, CT for a long time, and have made good faith effort to improve the page. I have not vandelized it. Are you and Rlevse some kind of super-wikipedians or something? I said 'vandelism' because I thought my orginal edits from May 17th were valid. What is your interest in Woodbridge? Do you have some special knowledge of it? I got your message, and hope you get this. Still new at this, so if you respond, I hope I can find it somehow.

-ell (don't have a wikipedia name, is that OK with you?!) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.44.45.54 (talk • contribs) .

Will reply on your IP talk page (User talk:24.44.45.54) :) ~Kylu (u|t) 04:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Kylu

Hi Kylu,

Thanks for your polite tone & comments (and for not automatically reverting my edit this time.) I hope to get back to you soon with some better explanation of the edits - which I believe are legitimate. I'll consider your advice about username, but I really never anticipated being a frequent contributer, and didn't want to hassle with learning all the ins & outs of wikipedia, though it is one of my favorite sites to visit. (I'm impressed also with your fast responses!)

Thanks again, ell

No problem. I'm still going to encourage you to register, though! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 04:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Softened the pink a bit?

I noticed you softened the pink of your userpage . Are you feeling alright? Your the pinkest user I've met. But seriously, your userpage looks great and your recent gnomish editing [1] is impressive and appreciated. Keep up the good work! :)--Joe Jklin (T C) 16:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Mmm, I've always gotten the, "Wow, that's PINK" reaction to my userpage, which made me think that maybe other people didn't like it very much. I happen to like the style, but it's not really there for me per se. Thanks for saying you like the page!

As far as editing goes, I've noticed there's a lot of "little" maintainance jobs people don't do very much of. It's not as "sexy" as getting an article to FA or anything, but really it needs to be done. I've cleared the ISBN-needed category (easy!) and put a dent into ISSN-needed (maybe took out a third of that category, more to come!) and am doing the misplaced talkpage templates mostly as a change of pace.

I'd like to correct the WikiProject pages that have their custom talk template on the main page (as example)... I figure I could <noinclude> them or put them on a talk page (like mine), {{subst}} them, then copy the code back to the project page, that way the "this is on the wrong page" notice on the talk template is gone and it wouldn't show up in the category.

Catch is, I'll have to save those for last: They've got a prominent "do not edit this" in the section that hosts the talkpage template on the project page, so I'll want to leave a note with that WikiProject and ask them for permission to do so. I'd rather make those changes boldly, since they may have another reason for doing so. If there is, I figure a notice (bold, in red, to make it noticable) in the category page to tell future category-sweepers to not touch those pages would work.

Thank you for noticing, by the way! :D

[edit] A note from Adam34

Hey Kylu. How is it going? Who are you? Where are you from? -Adam Soczewko -May 2006 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adam34 (talk • contribs) .

Hey Adam! Nice ta meetcha. Just so you know, when you leave a note, make sure you sign it with four tildes (~~~~), it'll auto-stamp your signature, date, and time! Handy, huh?

Anyway, it's going pretty well, I'm getting ready to head into work since there's a performance expected of me this afternoon. :D

I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana and as far as "Who am I?" I leave that as a mystery for others! Check my userpage, though, for a number of hints!

[edit] Do I feel lucky?

Thanks Kylu, for making my day. The welcome template you provided for someone is super. Enough so that I just had to look at your user page. Yum. Makes me feel like a kid again. Thanks again. And again. EncMstr 00:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Glad you like it! You should've seen the poor userpage before I toned down the pink. Check my userpage map sometime, I've hidden a bunch of goodies in there for people to take if they'd like. Maybe they'll learn how it all works. Maybe I'll learn how it all works too! Ya never know. :)

[edit] Cannabis Article

First, let me a appologize; I'm sure this isn't the correct place to respond, but I'm new here and I don't know where this should go.

I removed a _second_ reference to US v. Oakland in the Cannabis (Drug) article; the sentince is repeated twice. If you read over the part that I removed, you'll see what I mean. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.190.116.208 (talk • contribs) .

Thank you for the reply! I missed the second entry of that court case and have reverted the revisi...y'know, I already did that gag in the edit summary, I'll spare you it now. :)

Anywho, I was incorrect and I thank you for the polite manner in which you pointed it out! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 01:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Anime and manga

Did you know that you appear on Category:WikiProject Anime and manga participants three times? --Squilibob 02:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

My userbox is on user:kylu/about, which is transcluded onto user:kylu/main, which is transcluded onto user:kylu. I can't quite think of a way to have an actual userbox link, transclude the contents, and not have it show up on the category multiple times. If you know of a way, though, please tell me! :) ~Kylu (u|t) 06:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Only thing I can think of is to do {{subst:User WP Anime}} --Squilibob 07:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• sob* No, not subst! Anything but that! Actually, I wonder if noinclude'ing my /about page would do it. ~Kylu (u|t) 07:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Language Ability Categories

I noticed on some user pages boxes saying things like "en-3 -- These users are able to contribute with an advanced level of English." indicating a certain level of English language proficiency. But on the link above, it only gives a list of users who have that level, and not a description of what it means, how one acquires it, or even how to add it to my own user page (or if that is indeed what I should/could be doing).

This being Wikipedia, I'd add the info to the page myself, if I only knew what that info was; however, I don't. Any enlightenment or relevant links I may have overlooked would be appreciated.

Thanks for making me feel welcome! Quaxanta 02:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll leave you a note on your talk page explaining userboxes and language capability categories. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 06:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leave

I may be unable to visit Wikipedia for a few days. I realize that I don't actually need to leave the message, but I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the hospital in the near future and am unsure how much I'll be able to contribute. It's probably not fair of me to ask, since I'm unwilling to go into details on why, but if possible I'd like to ask that you wouldn't mind wishing some luck my way. I'd greatly appreciate it.

[edit] Logs Link

I think it would be better in the toolbox on the side bar for user/user talk pages. Do you have any working sample code? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xaosflux (talk • contribs) .

I can see what I can come up with! :) ~Kylu (u|t) 23:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• Innocent Bystander Note This refers to adding a "user logs" link to the toolbox in the MediaWiki: namespace.

Looks pretty good, added to my monobook, and am testing out in a few scenarios now, mostly just stability checking, looks like a value add though! — xaosflux ^Talk 18:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Woot! Oh...for Interiot Tool2 users, I modified it to stick an "Edit counts" button in the toolbox too. See User:Kylu/editcount.js For obvious reasons, I'm not asking to have that added to MediaWiki:monobook.js :D ~Kylu (u|t) 02:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sign up

Glad you signed up for medcab! I'm really sorry I couldn't talk with you on IRC at the time you contacted me. Do you want to just grab a case or discuss something or...? Also what is your connection with Kim? jbolden1517^Talk 02:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm helping Keitei with her case at the moment, acting as assistant. As far as Kim goes, she, Keitei, and I are all part of the same other Cabal. Y'know, the big evil dark one that threatens the known world. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

is Kim a she? I figured from the name he/she was but the people on IRC told me Kim was a he.... ? jbolden1517^Talk 11:23, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

*Smacks self in the forehead* Actually, yesh, Kim's a he. I think I've got a vitamin deficiency or something. There are a couple Wikipedians who, for some unknown reason, the wrong gender keeps creeping into my head when I see their names. No offense was meant to Kim (to whom I apologize! Please don't kill me, Sir!).

Ahwell. I suck. Anywho, I'm fine with the whole MedCab thing. I've been wanting to try my hand at mediation for a while, actually, though I think I may've gotten off to a bit of a rocky start on this first case. I suppose, when I manage to improve my mediation technique, a start like that just makes it look like I've improved that much more, right? :D

I'll be honest, my usual technique for problem solving usually involves more authority. Think: "Hello! Please be nice to the other users, or else I'll have to remove you, and that would make me unhappy. :(" Offline, I typically try to distance myself from disputes, not try to mediate them, hence my interest here. (That and Keitei and Kim seemed to suggest that MedCab needed some help possibly.)

Interestingly, I think this style of mediation may very well work in some cases where others (MedCom and ArbCom) might not, simply because of the lack of binding authority. Since it's apparently the last step before authority-bearing measures are produced, this actually IMHO makes MedCab rather important: It's the last chance for a dispute to be resolved before a resolution is brought to those concerned.

~Kylu (u|t) 12:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, no problem! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 18:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I see you've set up your homepage to hide sections by default, but allowing them to be viewed. I'd like to know how to do that, seeing as my own page is a bit unruly - well I did get carried away with userboxes! :-) Autarch 19:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, check the code in User:Kylu/main: The <div> tags are the trick. Quite honestly, I blatantly stole that trick from User:Master of Puppets's userpage. While I _was_ doing something similar beforehand, it was based on {{hidden}} and it looked...well...ugly. The <div> method is much much prettier, imho! BTW, if you want to see how the page is laid out, check out my userpage map first. Lets you know where all the funky stuff is. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Edits to your Userpage

I want to apologize for the minor bug I created when fixing the [Show]/[Hide] size bug, as I'd forgotten that changing font sizes in the div class tags affected the text that followed. By forcing the blocks containing the [Show]/[Hide] links to have a font size of 75%, I inadvertantly forced the content text that followed to be 75% its standard size. (An example of the issue in action can be seen here, by expanding the "About Kylu" section. I had noticed that the infobox with Wikipe-tan became obscured by the next frame heading due to the decreased font size of the text in the sections.) Anyways, I went back and added forced font sizes for the content to be 133% (75% * 133% = 100%). Sorry for the inconvenience! --InvaderJim42 01:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I have no bloody clue what you just said. But thank you for fixing whatever it is you originally broke. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 01:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conservatism

Thank you for stepping in to arbitrate the dispute on the conservatism page. You have closed the case, but I am just back from my 24 hour block, so this is my first chance to speak to you about the subject.

You wrote, "Discussion attempted to take place on the article talk page but failed, due to misunderstanding of where the conversation was to take place." I'm not sure I understand. The conversation took place on Talk: Conservatism and has gone on now for more than a month now. I have edited more than 100 articles on Wikipedia, and have never had a problem like this one before. ER MD, whose blanking I reverted, has blanked contributions to the Conservatism page more than fifty times in the past month, and refuses to discuss or to compromise. If he does not agree with it, he blanks it. For example, he has blanked quotations from Plato, from Livy, from Benjamin Disraeli, and from Napoleon, all without giving any reason other than POV and OR.

I really think we need a third party to read the disputed "Criticism of Conservatism" section and express an opinion as to whether or not it meets Wikipedia standards. Rick Norwood 06:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

(Replied to on Mr. Norwood's talkpage) Case has been re-opened and annotated to note that there is also a Request for comment currently open regarding the debate. While I am pleased to serve as mediator, it would be even nicer if the dispute can be solved without needing mediation. ~Kylu (u|t) 22:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for the cookie! It was delicious. --Grace 06:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

That's because they're hand-made with ♥ LOVE ♥. And cookie dough. *nods* ~Kylu (u|t) 06:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] But grandfather, why did your clock drown in the lake of tar!?

(On this day, a new section on the talk page was born..born of the ash and of the dust. Because the conversation at hand strayed so far from the original topic, that a new section was in dire need. And thus, it was so, and it was created, this new section was.)

Hmmmm, this cookie, it is of fine origin. No? If so, then yes. And in return, I give you this...

You now totally have soap. This soap is slippery, and thus good.

In fact, this cookie is of such goodnessiness, that I will put it in a on my userpage. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{Prophesize) 18:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

...uhhm...thanks! n.n;; "And so, our virtuous heroine did receive the Slippery Soap of Goodness from the Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake." ... sounds like a strange anime, ne? ~Kylu (u|t) 20:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't do drugs. But anyways, I've now fallen in love with you. Your niceness is indeed overwhelming (as well as the pinkitudy factor of your userpage), and I will now be a zealous fan of yours.

Due to my lack of ability to write Wikipedia articles, I mainly just do behind-the-scenes work. Mediation, welcoming, funness, helping, and other such goodlies. If you need anything related to that, then you will most certainly be able to contact me about it.

I hope my soap will aid you in your heroine quest. (P.S., I don't watch anime too much, although sometimes I will watch those few that have some amazing theme that I find interesting.) -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{Prophesize) 22:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

That's one of the most flattering (and frightening!) things I've ever read. I certainly do hope it's platonic love, though, as I may be removing my "user single" userboxes soon. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 04:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

(Stopped indenting, since it looks icky.) If you have two "single" user boxes, and one was removed, that would mean that you are both single and in a relationship. But no matter, telescopes look at the stars, just as mirrors are portals to the parralel worlds. I have, in my stuperous rage and laughterous revelry, evoked a mere interest in your doings, not nessicarily a strong passion as the word "love" is often correlated as... using coral. Ah, but I am being terse, and should most definetely stop this rambling. Due to this shortness in my words, and of the incessant spewing forth of entirely too many syllables, I will move to an entirely different subject (as indicated by this paragraph break.)

I'm trying very hard to be useful, but I can't seem to find anything that makes a unique contributor. Sure, I can scan over vandalism, and keep a cool head in intense debates of intense tomfoolery, but I really don't feel that I've found my "niche". Do you have any words of enlightenment on this tantalizing perdicament(sp?).

You have no idea how hard it is for me to find a niche somewhere. I've done Kindness Campaign, Welcoming committee, AfD activism, RC Patrol... I drag around in Wikipedia maintenance a bit, there's always things like ISSN-needed and ISBN-needed, I'm in the Mediation Cabal, and am rather active on chat, I do various anti-vandalism things, do article spellchecking and have lately taken up some light stub sorting in case all that fails to amuse me. I have yet to find my niche, and so far seem terribly interested in the "backroom" of Wikipedia, trying to discover how the place all works.

Of course, when you do that, you end up being a "volunteer" to take on more work, though they have yet to assign me anything that's too much to handle really.

I imagine one of these days I'll poke too far in and they'll try to do something silly, like give me real responsibility or something, but until that dark day, I'm just really flitting about doing random odd jobs. I suppose, as long as it needs doing, it doesn't really matter who does it, right?

I'll leave the nifty "opentasks" template on your talkpage to give you things to do if you get bored, but... ultimately, I think my "niche" has become "all of Wikipedia" really. C'est la vie.

~Kylu (u|t) 01:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Mmmmm, that was a delicious bit of text, as it summed exactly what I'm doing. I really can't "add" anything huge to Wikipedia. so all I do is move things, reword things, and talk about things. So I'll probably be doing the exact same thing you do. :D. The only thing I'm really good at is music... so maybe I could record "examples" of different music-related stuff for articles. Eh, otherwise I'll just stick to conflict resolution. It's basket-loads of fun. I'm glad I've encountered your person, as you seem to be similar in breadth and volume as my person. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{Prophesize) 05:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC) (By the way, once I figure out how to access IRC, I'll check out this mysterious chat you speak of.)

--José Roberto A. JR. 21:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd be willing to bet that the differences are far more cultural than they are linguistic. There are going to be back-room structures that are simply different from one wiki to another, depending on the host culture. Interestingly enough, this gives you an opportunity to study other cultures through the social structures they develop to manage projects like these!

Fun, huh? :D ~Kylu (u|t) 02:15, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Rowell deletion

I note at the top of this page you say deletions are nothing to do with you and that you are not an administrator, so I am baffled as to why you replied to my query about this page's deletion. Maybe you can point me to the AfD/discussion page where this article was deleted. I thought that when I left my message it was on the Talk Page of the person who deleted.

[edit] tent city

What is Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-19 Tent City and Tent City 4(King County, Washington) about? jbolden1517^Talk 02:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I finished creating the page that user Cyclopedic started, apparently in relation to Talk:Tent City#Tent City 4 and Talk:Tent City 4 (King County, Washington) simply as an unrelated act of kindness. :)

From what I can tell, Cyclopedic beleives that actions by Coz 11 (Coz) are violating WP:NPOV.

I think the first thing any accepting mediator will need to do is to talk to the parties in question and determine the actual specifics of the case. User:Bobblehead has apparently already posted to the talkpage of both users and is apparently acting as a sort of mediator already.

You may want to ask Bobblehead if they'd like to use our MedCab case page to host a discussion between all involved and to simply tell us when the case may be archived. Consider it proof that we're not stick-in-the-muds. :D

Of course, I'd prefer that they resolve as early as possible, preferably without requiring mediation. Makes our lives more boring, but makes theirs more pleasant!

Hope that helps! ~Kylu (u|t) 03:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Banu Nadir mediation

Thanks for your help with mediation.

About Pschemp: I just want to say that according to Wikipedia:Edit war, an edit war involves reverting which is not being discussed. The fact, obvious from Talk:Banu Nadir, is that the changes to Banu Nadir (and the sections of Banu Qaynuqa which were being reverted) were being discussed. I don't think calling what was happening an "edit war" is fair to either side of the debate.

Sadly, I it looks to me as if the anti-Islamists might not participate in mediation. They are in a tough spot because their sources don't support the subjective descriptions of states of mind (e.g. Muhammad "felt" so-and-so...) and they certainly don't support the factual inaccuracies in their version (e.g. that the Constitution of Medina was "promulgated" instead of voluntarily signed on to.) But so far they have the support of two admins, including an arbitrator, who both happen to be a member of the Judiaism WikiProject. However, I will be giving mediation plenty of time and effort -- I have already posed more than a dozen mediation questions with a convienient grid for the anti-Islamists to answer in. It's been almost a day now and none of them have touched it.

Anyway, I just want you to know that "edit war" is not what was going on on those pages. This is a bias dispute with far-flung accusations of racisim coming from the currently dominant side, and probably racial motivations on both sides (not me, though, I'm an agnostic from a WASP background who has never edited anything about Jews or Muslims ever before.) Publicola 04:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Just to clarify, when it says "without being discussed" it does refer to the discussions taking place between opposite sides of the debate, as well as some sort of consensus being reached in regards to the content. If, for instance, Pschemp and I were to write an article, then you changed it, we changed it back, etc., however Pschemp and I agreed and you did not, it would still be considered edit warring. The actual verbiage of the term does not matter, it's the spirit that I'm worried about. (That's the spirit behind Ignore All Rules by the way.) Don't let someone rules-lawyer you into a corner, Publicola, just try to do what's right and obeys the spirit of the rules. :)

I've reviewed the case (personally) and feel that the admins in question were in the right to lock the articles. Once your mediation is completed and both sides of the debate are in agreement, then please contact your mediator and they can inform the admin in question so the article may be unprotected and productive work can continue. Thanks!

Please DO NOT close my info box and delete my archives and put them elsewhere. That is considered vandalizim. Please come to my talk and tell me why you did that. RainbowSprinkles 22:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I added a close-tag to your infobox as it was malformed, the talkpage comments were showing up in your archive box. This was done out of politeness. As far as your archives, I haven't moved or deleted anything of yours. In fact, it's not possible for me to delete anything of yours as I'm not an admin (see top of my talk page). I'll reply here and copy to your talk page as you seem to be blocked for vandalism for a period of 1 day.] I'm afraid you are factually incorrect on these issues. ~Kylu (u|t) 22:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal namespace in Sinhala Wikipedia

Hi Kylu, I'm Lee from Sinhala wikipedia. We need the namespace Portal in Sinhala wikipedia; but I’m not sure how to get it. Please help me with the issue or redirect me to a person who can guide me. Thanks in advance. --Rathne 11:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Ayep, I just checked and it looks like you're absolutely right. Let me see what I can find out for ya. ~Kylu (u|t) 01:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've put in a feature request for you, asking for the creation of the Portal: and Portal talk: to be added to si.wikipedia.org. Please note that "soon" (current ETA: Later next month) they may be creating the Namespace Manager which will allow bureaucrats for the Wikipedia in question to create and delete namespaces without requiring assistance. Sorry my response took so long! ~Kylu (u|t) 01:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Kool! I guess all I have to do now is wait for it to be implemented. :-) Thanx for the support. --Rathne 09:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I've read si:Wikipedia:කෝපි කඩේ and notice that there's a little confusion as to how you want the namespace spelled. Do you want "Portal" and "Portal talk" in English, or do you want it in Sinhala? Which spelling? ~Kylu (u|t) 22:28, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The English wording would be just fine. We haven't reached a conclusion yet on the correct Sinhala word for "Portal" (to be used in the wikipedia). So I've informed the others that we'll use the English word for now; and that makes perfect since most of the interface related things are not yet translated in to Sinhala anyway. BTW can you read Sinhala? --Rathne 02:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Not a damn bit. :D I have a "knack" for figuring out what's going on in other languages, though, so generally understood the conversation without knowing what individual words meant. Anyway, you should see the new namespaces soon. Thanks for helping with Wikipedia! ~Kylu (u|t) 03:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, done, your new namespace should be up and working soon. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 03:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logs link

I'm curious if you think it'd be worthwhile to approach Village Pump (or whoever) about adding a tab to "logs" (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&user={{{1}}} or whatever) to the top of monobook.css/js for user/user talk pages. Any opinions? ~Kylu (u|t) 21:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Check out this javascript please. Seems to work fine, doesn't interfere with any of the kazillion js's I've got loaded. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 03:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if this ever went anywhere, I added the javalink to my local settings, and have found it useful, if you haven't already, I'd start on talk section up on it in the approriate MediaWiki:*.js section, and link to it from WP:VPT. Let me know if you do. (Sorry I took so long looking at this!) — xaosflux ^Talk 22:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Will work on this. Sadly, at the moment, I'm stuck in a bit of a mess involving MedCab and such, but I will bring it up on VPT at the very least. After looking at the scripting and then the various .js's, it looks only appropriate for MediaWiki:monobook.js.

Hey, if you happen to check out this reply, mind taking a peek at WP:OVER (aka Wikipedia:Oversight) also? I've had a couple +oversight users look at it, and it appears accurate and useful so far, but the more opinions the better. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 06:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Thanks

Kylu, thanks for your support and for congratulating me! I'm not going to spam anyone with "RfA Thanks" messages, so please take a piece from of my RfA thanks message here. Cheers, and happy editing, Tangotango 16:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

*sob* Another of my friends taken away into admin-land, oh the humanity... So, anyway, congrats. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 16:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

When do you plan on requesting, Kylu? I think you'd be a great admin, and you really have nothing bad on your resume for people to oppose. :) -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{(Prophesize|Witchcraft)} 17:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Ack! Shh! What, are you trying to give people ideas or something, Cake? Yikes. o.o;;

Tell ya what, I've got to get off of here now, but later on I'll do some explaining, okay? (Hehe, tonight's to-do list is starting to get rather large...) ~Kylu (u|t) 17:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh yes yes, I am a patient turtle-goat... no need to tire yourself over me. By the way, I totally stole your spiffeh-pink-signature idea to make my new signature. You like? -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{(Prophesize|Witchcraft)} 18:20, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Best check your links. "Special:Contributions/The porphet wizard of the crayon cake" ? 207.145.133.34 20:22, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

eh?...turtle-goat? Anywho, you don't seem to be using an overabundance of pink, so I can only assume you're talking about the (u|t) thing. I figured it was the most efficient way of embedding those links in my sig, getting to keep the pink name, and still not confusing the heck out of people. As far as when I'm going to be available for nomination (as you asked earlier), I'm making User:Kylu/rfa so I can just point instead of explaining. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 01:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the spellcheck, mister-ess IP address. Oh, and by the way, you can keep the overly pink signature -and- give it a link... as you can see my spiffeh colored link has a link to it. But the thing I copied was basically color, heh, you were the inspiration behind coloring my signature. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{(Prophesize|Witchcraft)} 01:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, so I won't have to worry about the RfA after all? (I figure, once they find out it was me...) Just kidding, CakeProphet! ~Kylu (u|t) 01:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

mmmmmmm, if you put the font tag in the visual part of the link like so:

<b><i>[[User:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">~Kylu</font>]] <font color="#FF00FF">([[User  
 talk:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">t</font>]])</font></i></b>

Then the HTML will override the default link color, thus producing: ~Kylu (t)

or, as my own suggestion, you could put contribs, a nowiki'ed pipe (to prevent interference with wiki syntax involving your sig), and a nifty superscript tag, thus producing: ~Kylu ^{(t |c)}

<b><i>[[User:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">~Kylu</font>]] <sup><font color="#FF00FF">([[User
 talk:Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">t</font>]] <nowiki>|</nowiki>  
 [[Special:Contributions/Kylu|<font color="#FF00FF">c</font>]])</font></sup></i></b>

(Whew, that took some triky use of nowiki to recreate in code form :P)

Of course, that's just what I would do... not to mention it gives you quite a ginormous signature code, much like mine... and it's looking less and less like a good suggestion :D sooo... -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{(Prophesize|Witchcraft)} 02:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

You realize, that's time you could've spent proofreading a Power Rangers article! j/k, nice way to sig. Not sure if it'll fly for long, being a large sig, but I guess we'll see. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes well... my sloppy HTML code is valid contribution enough, fair mistress. Hmm, if the second one is two large, the first one seems moderately sized enough to do the trick. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake ^{(Prophesize|Witchcraft)} 03:12, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Page

I love the way you designed your user page.How long have you been on wikipedia? --Cute 1 4 u 21:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! According to the usage logs I created this account 02:03, 24 March 2006 and my first edit (according to my contribution list was at 19:18, 2 April 2006 with this edit to Talk:Drusilla (i.e. roughly three months, though I understand some people don't count your first month...)

If you're interested in the design of my user page, I'd suggest checking the map of my userspace, probably focusing on User:Kylu/main, since it does most of the "grunt work" :)

[edit] Banu Nadir

I meant that I was going to ask Pschemp,to unprotect the page, only when the case is resolved. I believe that keeping the page protected until resolution is the best course of action. Sorry for any inconvenience. Geo. 19:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

No inconvenience, it's just that some new mediators aren't familiar with mediating within constraints. For instance, a mediator between the US and Canada can't simply give Canada some land in India that neither side has claim to, nor can we as mediators demand that an admin reverse an administrative action as part of mediation. We're just here to help the two sides of the dispute come to terms with eachother and try to compromise a way to a solution. Sounds textbook, doesn't it? ~Kylu (u|t) 01:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice greetings from Cuba!!

Hi, i'm very happy with your pink message, where you from??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ZorphDark (talk • contribs) .

Thanks for the note of appreciation! I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. ~Kylu (u|t) 01:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

You're student, or worker? I'm a elementary education computing's teacher and i study at university the computing ingineering career.

Sorry my poor english on the talk, but i have not any friend from another country, and i never pratice english's language...

i only read the textbooks and manuals that have to do with computers and programming, but i don't know much about the words and grammar of conversations.

Nice to chat with you :) ZorphDark

Sorry about refactoring your comment there, but the long line was messing with my display a bit. :)

Anyway, I'm a bit of both. I work a job as well as play my violin, plus I study other musical instruments. I know a little Spanish, but it's basically limited to retail transactions and musical terms. I imagine that Wikipedia's technical articles will be a great source of interest for you! I enjoy editing technical articles, even though I'm only barely technically inclined. I can set my VCR after reading the instructions. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 03:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

well, if your need sometime a "technical support", don't doubt to contact me, ok?? I like violin, but i can't play it, I only can play a few notes on piano... no more... the guitars aren't easy to me. I hope to be your wikifriend from now on... Good byez!! ZorphDark

I like to think I'm everyone's wiki-friend! Thanks for the offer to be my technical support, maybe I'll take you up on it someday. Everyone here knows I'm technically inept, right? :D ~Kylu (u|t) 22:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake

Kylu, When clicking on you're block log you made a mistake. When you created a link you put you're name after User:. Sadly, putting it after User: doesn't work. For you're real block log here is the [link.]

RainbowSprinkles Talk [Contributions] [Email me] 19:11, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Which location is it that we're talking about? The block log at the top of this page is a list of blocks that I've performed (and therefore should be blank, since that's the point). The link you provide is correct, however, to see my sole block and unblock (If you're interested, the reason I was blocked is due to the fact that, during vandalcorrection, I managed somehow to revert to a vandalized version of a page. Whoops. CURPS auto-blocked me, and Shanel unblocked me since it was an obvious mistake. I use a couple scripts that are designed to prevent this from happening, so I'm not sure why it is this happens on occasion, especially when I make sure I'm reverting to the correct version... go figure.)

By the way, while we're doing corrections, you might want to try this:

RainbowSprinkles Talk Contributions Email me

You don't really need the rest of the URL when linking to Special: pages, plus this removes the outside link icon.

Thanks for the concern, though. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 22:37, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Random conversation

I've been formulating a wiki-organization, you can check it out at User:The prophet wizard of the crayon cake/Organization C if you're curious. I plan on actually getting this thing off the ground and doing something with it. I think the laid-back atmosphere of the group might help deal with wikistress a bit. What do you think? (P.S. I made my sig more compact.) -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 21:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Y'know, it almost looks like you're trying to make a Discordian Wikipedian group-support organization. Hail Eris! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 22:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

You totally read my mind! Being a Chaote -and- a Discordianismistian... it can get kinda lonely out there. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 00:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Honestly, CakeProphet, that doesn't surprise me in the least. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 00:36, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I think Wikipedia could use a lunatical org... with all this uptightly academicness around... -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 00:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression that Uncyclopedia was for Wikipedians who want to blow off steam and get away from things? Alternatively, there's WP:BJAODN if you want to relax and read something nonserious. The articles and most of the goings on, though, are imho quite serious and deservedly so. OTOH, it doesn't mean you can't try to enjoy yourself while editing, just not at the expense of reader-facing pages. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 00:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, of course we'd do more than act silly, but we'd use silliness as a way to accomplish stuff in an unstressed environment. Basically it serves as a hub to organize effort quickly, since the group would have no purpose other than what is currently specified.. you can pretty much chart up new objectives without worrying about them being "in the realm of this group". If you don't know your purpose, then you can have any purpose you want at any time. Flexibility. Plus I'd be fun. :) -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 00:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Mindspillage (Another font of wisdom and advice, absolutely priceless)

User:Pschemp (So nice. n.n Everyone deserves a pschemp of their own)

Sadly, my stalking is so spread thin that all I can do is to watch their user/talk pages and reply when someone gets snarky or needs help. I try to help my admin-flagged friends out, since I assume you're all very busy, while I usually just wander around looking for something constructive to do on here.

[edit] Arthur K. Shapiro stub

Hi, Kylu ... thanks for the stub sort on Arthur K. Shapiro. I wish I knew how to find stub sorting categories. I don't think listing him as a psychologist works, though ... is there a stub just for general physicians? That might work better. He definitely wasn't a psychologist, rather a practicing physician, so even if there's not a psychiatrist category, physician might be better. Thanks ! Sandy 12:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

ah, ha ... learn something new every day ... I found med-bio-stub and replaced it with that. Thanks anyway! Sandy 12:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Oho. I wish I knew how to find stub sorting categories. you say? Well, do I have a treat for you! I'll put it on your talkpage. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 18:30, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For your great land title deeds

For your all-around kickassedness, for simply existing, you get my highest award of coolness. Few people receive this super special award, SO FEEL PROUD. This is sincere appreciation, so feel free to blush in the awkwardance of the situation. Thanks for the awesome personality.

Because of your display of great magical potential, and your latent ability of wizardy you never knew you had, The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake has awarded you this delicious Great Stone of The Goat Cheese of The Arduous Bindage of Metaphorical Flax, for your great achievements in defeating jackassery (by using tomfoolery) and countering many nasty things. This stone is a gateway to higher, immortal enlightenment and the key to increasing your magical powers as a magician. But be warned, the goat cheese is a tempting treat to consume... should you consume it, then it will cease to give you immortal powers. Many a person has succumbed to the beast of desire, consuming the delicious cheese in a torpid rage. Egads!

[edit] Mediation Case: Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-13 Conservatism

I'm scanning through the conservatism case so I can help out on it. Anything you might want to mention to me? -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 00:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I've refactored this a bit. It doesn't really belong with "Re: Congrats!" Hope you don't mind.

Well, okay. Firstly, Cowman's already helping out, so no trampling over eachother, though I personally like seeing group assistance like this. The major issue seems to be the inclusion of a "Criticism of Conservatism" section on the page. User:Rick Norwood feels it has a place while the major opponent, User:Beneaththelandslide (signs as "michael") feels there is no place at all, and neither side seems to be interested in negotiating away from this point. It really seems to hinge on an interpretation of WP:NPOV, where Rick feels that all points of view should be expressed in order to show NPOV, whereas Michael seems to think the exact opposite: that criticism sections are inherently POV and should not be allowed in articles at all. I proposed moving the criticism into a seperate article (as did Cowman109), and Michael dislikes this suggestion, stating that it would still not be NPOV and therefore a policy violation.

Quite honestly, I'm stumped. Both sides seem to be unwilling to compromise and find middle ground, and I fear that the case might end up in Arbitration, where as you know neither party will likely end up being happy with the outcome. We need to find a solution that actually solves the issue and doesn't simply state "party such-and-such will not edit said article" or rely on enforcement, otherwise we're simply stalling the issue and not actually mediating things.

Offline, I've been thinking about it a bit and trying to come up with different methods of compromise that will manage to sate both parties while still being true to both the word and principles of Wikipedia policies. I'm tempted to WP:IAR and tell them to make the criticism article seperately and just hope that it evolves into an article about criticism of convervatism, but it feels a bit much a bit too soon.

So, I've asked for help from the community on the talkpage for conservatism and on the RfC hoping that Wikipedians will come to my rescue with some genius stroke that will solve this issue. Basically, I'm trusting in the idea of Nemo Solis Sapit (L., "None is wise alone"), trusting that the community will show wisdom where I alone can't find it. ~Kylu (u|t) 01:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Ewwww, criss-crossing NPOV interpretations are always a big sticky messy... since it's such a huge policy, both parties feel the need to vigorously uphold it. hmmmm, obviously attempting to persuade them won't do any good. ER... I'm trying to think of a way we could change the article by being bold, and then talking about it, basically applying The BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, but it doesn't seem to apply to this situation too well. One wants it included, and one wants it deleted, so changing the article a little won't do a bit of good... hmmm... we might just have to get a little dirty if we want to fix this... something - dare I say - manipulative? (I hope no one is reading this conversaion....) Might be best to talk about it over IRC, where *ahem* no one is logging our conversation. --The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 03:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

*laugh* We might even want to remove that statement altogether. You totally have my permission. :-) --The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake 03:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

You know, I'll be honest with ya, I'm absolutely new at this mediation thing and I don't know all the tricks of the trade, but for some reason I don't think "being manipulative" is one of them. As far as removing the statement, I'd have to note that it'd stay in my page history and since I'm pretty familiar with Wikipedia:Oversight (in fact, I wrote it) I'm kinda sure that it's not covered under acceptable use. :)

Anywho, for the moment, I'll take the naive approach of being honest with the parties I'm trying to assist. I know, it's off the wall and unexpected, but hey, that's just like me to be off the wall and unexpected, right? :D ~Kylu (u|t) 06:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question about Notability, Verifiable info

Hey, thanks for the welcome message! You said to ask you if I had any questions, so here goes.

• I recently found that my school has an entry in Wikipedia. The article is short, with a decent intro, but the specific details are just kind of random, not very broad or informative. My question is this: can I expand the page (as an "expert"), with the idea that some data is better than no data-- or should I leave it, until someone who carries around verifiable sources (newspaper articles, maybe?) comes along?
• Wikipedia has entries on several webcomics, as well as the concept itself, but not one of my personal favorites. As I understand it, Wikipedia is not just a general-purpose encyclopedia, but also a collection of more specialized encyclopedias (hence the number of detailed articles on individual species of plants, computer terminology, philosophy, etc.) On the other hand, I've heard complaints from people who say WP is becoming cluttered with trivia, and there are rules (guidelines?) about notability. So, should I go ahead and write the page (I consider it significant-- it's about the second webcomic I ever heard of), or leave off, because it's not notable and would just get deleted anyway? --Zatchmort 21:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

1. There's no problem with your expanding the page on your school and in fact we welcome you to do so! So, saying that, there's the catches. When you go to edit an article, it says (right below the edit box, actually) Content must not violate any copyright and must be based on verifiable sources.

   There's important stuff here: Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability are directly named. If I put "The house at 10292 on my block is owned by a family of five and the head of household is a Politician", it may well be truth, but if it's not verifiable, reliable source then the information needn't be included. Ideas though: Does your school paper have a website? How about the PTA or School Board? I bet there are more citable sources than you think there are. :)

2. As far as your webcomic goes, I have a funny way of determining notability on something "Iffy" like that. First, google the thing and see if there are a lot of mentions on sites other than the comic. Typically at around 500 hits, I start thinking the content is 'pedia-worthy. That's like asking how you vote on an AfD though, really. Check out Wikipedia:Notability (web). If you absolutely can't decide... well, y'know, write the article anyway. Do a good job. If it gets deleted for being non-notable, then your question is answered! :D Seriously though, if it gets deleted for "fails to establish notability" then that's where you really want to focus. Determine if and why the webcomic is notable. Attempt to explain this in the article. Compare to other similar articles.
3. Lastly, if the community decides that your contribution doesn't live up to its standards, make sure you don't take it personally. If you have the opportunity, make the article content better. If it's a notability issue and about to be speedy-deleted, put {{holdon}} on the article page and talk it out with the people that feel it's not notable. Network with people, establish dialog, communicate. That's what we're good at. :) Ask if they'll change it from a speedy-delete to a {{prod}} or possibly AfD.

I really hope that helped you a bit. I do mean it, though... if you have questions, just ask me. I love to help! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 21:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Not Kylu after User: when you put you're name after user it shows no blocks but when you put User:Kylu int the title spot it says you have been blocked once. Please fix it immideatly. Here is the CORRECT link to you're block log: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AKylu Peach12 Talk Contributions Email 21:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Peach12 is a suspected sockpuppet of User:Bugman94 (also User:RainbowSprinkles above) who has messaged me about this before. I've tried to explain that the logs above are links to my administrative actions and not to the block I received while on RC Patrol. "You're" is short for "You are" btw, you want "Your" as in "In your posession". ~Kylu (u|t) 22:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFA thanks

...you're kidding, right? Someone made a vanity on your RfA? Cool, and congrats! Talk to you on IRC later! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 22:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Transwikiing to Wiktionary

Thanks for the offer. However, the reason I'm not doing manual c+p moves is because it's better to do them via Special:Import (much faster and less error-prone), which is only available to Wiktionary admins. So the best thing to do is just to nag the appropriate people at Wiktionary when the backlog builds up, which is what I will be doing -- once I get back from my Wikibreak. I'll be back in early August. Talk to you then. theProject 00:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Take care of yourself, okay? I'll chat with the wiktionary people and see what'd be involved in pestering one of their admins on a regular basis. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 01:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Birthday

Thanks for the b-day greeting! Now I must wait for your birthday to congratulate you more. ^_^ Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Giant Enemy Crab!} 04:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't forget: Tea yesterday and tea tomorrow, but never tea today! ~Kylu (u|t) 04:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

wait..."Giant Enemy Crab!"? I don't get it... 207.145.133.34 14:23, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the Welcome

Hi! and Thanks for the Welcome Brian 07:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)btball

You're welcome! So, enjoying Wikipedia so far? ~Kylu (u|t) 19:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northeast Corridor

Thanks for catching the unintended deletion. This may be a Firefox/Google Toolbar episode, if so, my first encounter with it. I did no editing in that part of the article but noticed and was puzzled by the truncation in the edit box. I now know this is not benign--don't save. Live and learn--and I appreciate the rescue.

RickDC 02:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help! I use FF, but don't use the google toolbar, so fortunately I haven't been truncating articles that I know of! :D ~Kylu (u|t) 02:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oops

In the admin's noticeboard, it was cut off for some reason. I think it's because I'm using Firefox, but I'm not sure. Anyway, thanks for fixing it. --69.145.123.171 07:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, yeah, I saw that and am already fixing the message once I realize what happened. Sorry. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 07:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem. I think it's because I clicked it twice after it took thirty seconds to load... Stupid long pages. :) 69.145.123.171 ^Hello! Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 07:06 (UTC)

Oh, and can I ask you to remove the warning? It was placed there for a good reason, but it was accidental-and I don't like to remove them myself. ;) 69.145.123.171 ^Hello! Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 07:08 (UTC)

no prob. ~Kylu (u|t) 07:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! 69.145.123.171 ^Hello! Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 07:11 (UTC)

[edit] T-Man

OK, I will stop reverting, and I retract my legal action threat. Please help me... how do I have another editor (T-Man) remove defamatory discussions of my from his page? -- Dyslexic agnostic 07:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

You should notice, I had previously twice as much gathering of evidence against DA in my talk page. I recently reduced it and modified the tone to keep it more serious. Check the evidence links and read the info to realize who is the "bad" guy. I just learn burning a stalker is a long process, present the evidence requires gathering a massive amount of links, since most wikistalkers tend to act ambiguos to looc like if they were acting in good faith.--T-man, the wise 07:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I have acted in good faith, it was T-Man and not me that received a ban (and then several more) as a result of his actions, and his talk page comments are well beyond an obsession with me. -- Dyslexic agnostic 08:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll be honest: It's not so much the conflict and such that bothered me as much as it is the "legaleese" that accompanied it. Once legal threats have been made, the person making them has to deal with the consequences. I'd encourage you to seek dispute resolution in Wikipedia first. If you'd like assistance with this, I'm a member of the Mediation Cabal and can assist in helping you find a peaceful solution. ~Kylu (u|t) 14:55, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

(Turns out there was already a solution in place: They were on probation and were both blocked, now banned from working on comics articles... Ahwell.) ~Kylu (u|t) 18:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:ESP/UPA note

Again? I didn't know I signed up the first time. Heck, I didn't know there was a userpage contest! Sounds nifty though! ~Kylu (u|t) 14:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reference conversion

No problem--feel free! I wasn't even thinking about it, only trying to set them apart in some way. Happy editing!  :-) Antandrus (talk) 22:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
