[edit] BotThere is a talk page that is automatically archived by a bot. It is all archived to Archive 1 but it is getting quite large. How do I change it to archive it to Archive 2? (Which does not exist yet). Earthbendingmaster 17:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I am still unexperienced with merging. You leave the article thats being merged as a redirect. Is that correct? Earthbendingmaster 04:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I am going to give it a try first, though I will need your help after I am done. Earthbendingmaster 22:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you! Your welcome. I finally got it right, now it doesn't take up as much room on your talk page. Earthbendingmaster 21:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Adoption, againHow does it (my page) look? The "oneten" in that together look (and in ORANGE) doesn't really look that good to me. What do you think? Basketballoneten 03:41, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
You really deserved it. Basketballoneten 01:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Basketballoneten 17:53, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Relisting AFD'sHello, thanks for recently helping clear the backlog at AFD by relisting 2 AFD's: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Talbert W. Swan, II, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Containerart. In the future, please complete the process, by commenting-out the entry on the original log page and retranscluding the discussion on the current log page. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, JERRY talk contribs 05:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC) [edit] a thank you note

I see that the "My Preferences" settings has a max of 1,000 (I think?) for the WatchList tab under My Preferences. Is that it --- I can only see the last 1,000 changes and no more? Or is there a way to view the 1,001st (etc.) and further back changes? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 20:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC))

Even though Wikipedia is free as in no cost to use, my understanding is that 'free' in 'the free encyclopedia' refers primarily to free content.

[edit] Inclusionists and deletionists......we'll keep fightin' till the day we die... :) SingCal 08:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC) [edit] KColorEditKColorEdit is a part of Extragear package software, although extragear don't have the same schedule release of KDE package it a important piece of the KDE project. This little application is a utility to create and edit palettes (it works with KDE palettes and GNOME too), there's not a similar software in KDE, so many people use it with GIMP and other utility like Krita to edit and create their own images, I think this application could be help this people, that's why I had to work on this article. Also, Could you notify me about another KDE tool that can manage this kind of topics KDE and Colors? Please don't underestimate this tool, all the software have their own complexity and function, not because isn't a famous name means that isn't a help. Grretings Orgyforever (talk) 09:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC) [edit] Problem with warning templatesWhen we revert vandalism by someone who already received a level 4 warning, any other warnings make it seem like, "Oh, we didn't really mean it when we said that was your last warning," like the parent who says, "This is the last time I'm going to tell you" five times before taking action. What about something like this:[1]. I'd like some feedback on this as a possible template for non-admins to use when they revert past a level 4 warning. Thanks.

My links suffer and my typo rate...--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC) [edit] Late vote at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/EncMstrI did close it at 00:06 - you can see the close immediately before the vote. The times are the same, and as closing doesn't affect the support section, I suspect there was no edit conflict. I've got no great objection to reinstating the vote while indenting it with an appropriate comment, although I believe that in the past, late votes have always simply been reverted.

[edit] Good Heart BarnstarRe: " Of course, I fully appreciate Doczilla's proposal to better the encyclopedia, and heartily praise him for that." Hearty praise deserves a heart-y response.
And even though I personally still think there's a way to make the idea work, I sure can't reject your concerns outright. Your point about WP:BEANS was very smart. Doczilla (talk) 06:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC) [edit] re:Seancarlin84Thanks for letting me know. He has recently vandalized multiple pages, so I thought AIV would be the proper place.

Voice your opinion at the Wikipedia presidential poll. All registered Wikipedians can vote. Spread the news so we all can see which candidate Wikipedia supports the most. The page was deleted, I was asked to change my signature, and all is well. Would you have the knowledge of how to make a userbox? I started to read the section at WP:UBX, then I looked at the code, and couldn't figure out where the colors where. Basketballone10 03:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Am I free to just use it on my page, and then put it on the userbox page? Or is there more (a catch would probably be there right word)? Basketballone10 02:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thank YouThank You for resolving my question about portals:) Smart Guy (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Smart Guy (talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! [edit] RE:Your RfAOh. Sorry if that was unclear. I meant that because I have never nominated a canidate before, I didn't want to nominate you, as I was afraid the nomination would not as strong as one offered by someone with experience in giving them. Further, I would say Majorly probably has more clout than me with the community. At any rate, I will clarify that over at the RfA. Warm regards, SorryGuy Talk 19:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thank YouOh, sorry I noticed that but then when I went back to edit the page the template had turned into something else and I didn't know how to get rid of it Smart Guy (talk) has smiled at you!

Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Btn551 (talk) 05:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] RE:Thanks for the note. What can I do about a user who refuses to discuss large content changes? Who do I speak to? I've asked him to please consulte other editors before making his huge changes, and he declines to do so. He's tagging things claiming they are empty, when they still have two subcats. He asserts they have been empty for 4 days, when in reality, he just made his change 24 hours ago. Depopulating well supported categories isn't considered Vandalism?

<-- LAWL! Astral (talk) 15:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] RE:I don't know how to get this user to stop. Almost everything he says in defense of his creations is either inaccurate or or irrelevant. He reverts my reversions of him and goes running around accusing me of vandalism. Oh my, I even created four articles just to appease the guy when he decided all by himself that the historical and modern catholic Scottish dioceses with the same name should be split, and then he came to my talk page complaining of all the work I'd given him by reverting him on other articles he'd been altering. He's already been told his edits aren't acceptable by other users, one of whom is also reverting him ... he's just not being reverted generally by anyone but me. If you open the discussion up ... and I've seen no reason to go to that effort for a misguided lone user ... you'll almost certainly find that everyone will oppose his edits. I think the guy needs some serious coaching about how wikipedia works, but atm my internet connection is very unreliable and I have other things to do. You'll see on his talk page though why his edits are simply wrong; he's forwarding a category and template that looks official, but isn't; doubling up two templates, supercategorizing, and placing a non-existent category between two real ones. Doubtless he's gonna go around so many admins accusing me of vandalism that, knowing my luck, after I get back from my connection cutting (as it surely will shortly), I'll probably see a block or warning from someone for vandalism, 3rr or edit warring.

[edit] Citing an EmailHi! Please take a look at my talk page for my response to your post. Thanks for your help! --InDeBiz1 (talk) 23:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] VandalismPlease tell me then the proper place to report the racist vandalism such as I was reporting. The stuff they are inserting is nonfactual not to mention completely biased and hopelessly in violation of the NPOV standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1948remembered (talk • contribs) 23:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC) I have little hope of finding an "open mind", most have openly racist listings (like notations on "israeli apartheid" or support for terrorist genocide groups) on their pages. Also FYI, something in your page format here is messed up, I can see no "edit this" listing and my text appears to scroll past the scrollable side of the page. I do not know what is causing it but I had to click "edit this page" and scroll all the way down to put this response here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1948remembered (talk • contribs) 23:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Thanks for your messagePlease reconsider. I think you need to look more closely at the edit history, where 1948remembered has been mass blanking material (*) [2] and repeatedly reverting others' edits, including personally insulting edit summaries [3]. Note that he was also correctly caught by ClueBot, which first drew my attention to his repeated vandalism. If nothing else, he is certainly in violation of 3RR. NSH001 (talk) 23:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Repeated blanking by 1948rememberedHi there Master of Puppets, 1948remembered (talk · contribs) has engaged in repeated blanking, despite warnings from myself another user that he could be blocked from editing for WP:DE and vandalism. His last deletion came after you advised him to use the talk page, where all he did was make a personal attack against me [4]. Please do check out his contribs and his talk page again. Tiamuttalk 23:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Re 1948rememberedIt's not a content issue. He was blanking 13,000+ bytes over and over again despite warnings and without discussion. Once it was blanked, he went about changing the first sentence to refer to "geneocidal" and "armies of Islam" type blabber. I'm sorry, but this is not a content dispute. It's pure vandalism. Tiamuttalk 00:10, 7 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] re 1948rememberedI've answered you on my talk page (partially and if you want to continue the discussion, you can reply there). I think you may be being a little too generous in your assessment. But I guess that time will tell. Happy editing! Tiamuttalk 00:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page formattingI took a look at your talk page in Firefox and it does work (I can see the edit buttons!). In Internet Explorer 7 it doesn't, however. I also have a question: Do you use Lupin's AVT, and if so, what is the script you use? I've been having trouble with it, but I'm not sure what the problem is.

Cheers.--Fabrictramp (talk) 20:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Start topicJust a note on the article Start topic. I thought it was pretty clear the person was trying to write about the Tower of Terror ride at Disneyworld [5], so I declined the speedy. After I declined it, you deleted the article as I was checking for the existence of a properly titled article (which is here). If another admin has already declined the speedy (which you'll see if you check the history before deleting), it's usually best to drop them a quick note if you disagree. No harm done in this case, as I would have deleted it as an unlikely redirect -- just want to give you a friendly heads up before a serious clash happens. :) --Fabrictramp (talk) 20:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Why did you delete the article about Balsa Wars?

I was pretty concerned about this edit, which apart from removing most of the talk page is a clear personal attack on another editor. The IP address may be dynamic - the whois information is not clear. If you want to unblock it, I won't object. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that this is a somewhat experienced user given they know how to create a fake signature, and I don't expect to see productive editing from them if they are unblocked. Even dynamic IPs usually have long-ish cycle times, usually in excess of 24 hours.

[edit] A7Hi. I was a little surprised that you speedily deleted Golem Relictus as an A7, since it was a videogame. While I agree that it was a valid subject for deletion, which is why I nominated it for AfD, it wasn't an A7 candidate. A7 explicitly indicates that it is for "An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant" and notes that "A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on. Other article types are not eligible for deletion by this criterion." Given that this one would have been deleted anyway, it's certainly not worth restoring, but I did want to point this distinction out to you in case you are unaware of it. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I used the browser address which you suggested, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/user_talk:Primehunter. It enabled me to learn that Primehunter didn't have an account by that name. Primehunter had posted advice at the Help Desk on publishing an article which impressed me, i.e., putting it on a subpage and requesting experienced editors to look at the article for suggestions prior to publishing it. I have tried to do this, but my problem is, as a newcomer to Wikipedia, Primehunter was the only name I knew. As a helpful volunteer, would you be willing to make suggestions for my article? In addition, can you suggest a few other knowledgeble volunteers who might be willing to do the same? It is Voiceperson/Ryan Allen. Thank you.

I'd thank you for the vote too, but that would be intrusive and premature while you all still have time to realize your error.

Best, Doczilla (talk) 06:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Guidance and assistance on Futurekids articleI'm coming back for offered assistance regarding my failed attempt to post an article on Futurekids. My response has been delayed due to travel. The TALK response indicated that my article was deleted as blatant advertising. Perhaps another person's earlier article met this fate (by Sean Whitton). Sean was not the person who deleted my effort. I'm unable to find my deletion to relate the specifics, but I do not believe it was the article that Sean killed. Using Google Docs, I have posted my article in public to enable you to comment and to help build consensus: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dvg4g8t_33gg5rdvf8&hl=en. The article was prepared with Wikipedia rules by my side. Since it meets the criteria for Notability (in my opinion), is citation-rich, contains many related links (including internal Wikipedia links), and has researched references, I don't see up front where it fails to meet criteria. I'm committed to Wikipedia and will take guidance and mentoring gladly. Please take a few moments to look at the actual article and advise changes to achieve publication.

Well, I marked a page for deletion, and when I look to see who made it, to put the notice on their talk page, I see my name. I did not make the page, I just put the tag on it. Why did this happen? Basketball110 i'm not yik ginlyùn 03:34, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quantum ArcheologyThe AFD was closed as a delete due to it being a fringe theory; while I'll admit that such prospects are very interesting, how interesting a subject is isn't a criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia.

I feel that the DS/Mobile versions lack notability, as any information pertaining to those versions can be contained within the main Spore article. I haven't contested the fact that the DS/Mobile versions of the game will indeed vary vastly from the PC version (as is the case with most video games that are ported to less powerful consoles), but he just won't listen. Now he's accusing me of vandalism again. Is there anything you can do to help ease the situation? Thanks. Sillygostly (talk) 02:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Tjbergsma (talk) 02:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Vandalism to Anno DominiI disagree with your assessment that recent edits to Anno Domini which claim that A.D. stands for "After Death" is merely a content dispute, rather than vandalism. For about a month, various IP editors and at least two new registerd users persistently, about 4 times per week, insert this absurd claim. I believe this is a deliberate provocation of the editors who try to keep this article in decent shape. If you doubt the claim is absurd, consider this: B.C. means "before Christ". Jesus is generally thought — among those who think he existed at all — to have lived around 30 years. A.D. is purported to mean "after death". This leaves about 30 years with no numbers, and a discontinuity of about 30 years between 1 B.C. and A.D. 1. This explaination is provided in the article, with a reference. --Gerry Ashton (talk) 03:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] vandalism-onlyHi - thanks for the note. You're right, I missed the first three edits back in April 2007 by the IP which may or may not have been the same person (but were not seen as constructive edits either). There have been no other edits until the last day or so, and what I was seeing were the eleven edits made now, all clearly by the same person, vandalizing a bunch of articles. Technically not "all" vandalism, so I'll be more careful with the terminology, but certainly someone who is here to disrupt. I hope the block makes him think. Tvoz |talk 04:40, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The ProblemThe problem with the user is that he refuses to discuss and he's treating this like I am vandalizing the article. I am trying to keep the article as GA and maybe as a possible future FL. The user doesn't see the purpose for the images, which are obvious to me and others, so he unilaterally removes them without discussion. --STX 05:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Christopher Dodd campaignUser:WilyD is an admin who has also been removing the random images like I did.

[edit] help me please!!Hi Mop. Please help me out - I reported user:Prester John at Wikiquette alerts (take a look). For his removal of legitimate warnings, his discreetly racist edits and other things. He has since edited my report on several occasions to misrepresent my comments http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiquette_alerts&diff=192345406&oldid=192197739 - He then threatens a Checkuser request against me without suggesting which user he believes I am and why. I believe that PJ is attacking me in order to divert attention from the report I have filed against him and am now of the opinion that PJ's threats warrant harder action than a mere discussion at Wikiquette. It is grossly innapropriate for a user to threaten another just because they have asked for comment on the user's conduct! Help me out here!

[edit] Decker Brothers speedy deletionHey MoP, I was in the process of checking out Decker Brothers and noticed it was tagged as contested {{hangon}}, so I went to contact the creator and Google the name. A Google search immediately came up with hits about 19th C pianos and decals for use in restoration. I went back to remove the tag and found you had deleted it. I think the subject is in fact notable and ought to be restored. By the way, I noticed nobody had notified the creator (or even ever welcomed him). If you restore the article I will try to help the newbie develop this into a meaningful stub at least and tag the article {{inuse}} for a couple days. Thanks.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 21:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] deleting the Decker Bros articleI'm confused why you deleted this article. I agree that it was just a stub, but I was continuing to modify it and make it more thorough. Why does the article have to show its own significance? I enjoy reading articles in Wikipedia about things just for the information. Are you saying that an article describing one of the best piano manufacturers in the 19th Century isn't worth being in Wikipedia. I would really like to contribute and it would be helpful to have this cleared up. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliwhale (talk • contribs) 21:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your comment Doug.

[edit] Problem with Another UserHello! If you get a chance, could you please review the changes over the past several days on the Hancock Stadium article? The user Mach3moe insists on inserting a line into the "History" section about "years of ineffective leadership," which is A) inflammatory and B) unable to be cited from a reputable source. I firmly believe that my edits have been in the best interests of the article and Wikipedia as a whole. I have tried diplomacy (see my comments on the user's talk page), I have tried a gentle reminder with further explaination, and now I feel that I have no other option but to bring the situation to the attention of an Administrator. As you can see by my edit history, I have been a solid contributor to Wikipedia and I do not engage in edit wars. I would like for my reputation to remain as such, which is why I feel that it is best that someone intervene here. Thank you! --InDeBiz1 (talk) 05:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Curious as to why you did somethingHi, I responded to Mastcell earlier today about a user who I believe was treated poorly despite WP:BITE. I think the worst admin in this case was Yamla, followed by Mastcell. The case is on the AN/I here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Collective_punishment The user talk page in question here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ForeverFreeSpeech I commend you for writing to the user and asking them not to take things personally, but I'm confused as to why you would put a denial on their unblock request while at the same time offering an unblock. After reading the affair it appears to me that the approach by the other admins (especially Yamla, who denied the first request within 3 minutes of its being made, not nearly long enough to properly analyze such a request) was poor. In particular, I agree with the analysis of the timing of Mastcell's block. As the warning and the "final revert" for which Mastcell blocked were made at the same minute according to wikipedia time stamp, it's entirely possible the user had not seen Mastcell's warning. Mastcell's quickness to block did nothing to help an already agitated situation, especially as Mastcell was ever so quick to block and yet demanded the user "allow reasonable time for a response" regarding talk page responses that the user complained were lacking on the article in question. I note that at this time, a User:Eleland inserted themselves into the content conflict, but there is still no response at the talk page in question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Collective_punishment. This will undoubtedly cause problems with the user, who appears to be trying to fix the article to NPOV standards in good faith. If they are being required to go to the talk page, but other users are freely edit warring against them and ignoring the talk page with no warning, what are they to think about the matter? At this time I am not going to revert that page, but I suggest that User:ForeverFreeSpeech should probably be unblocked as apology for the bad block and that User:Eleland should probably be informed to go to the talk page. I personally am going to put a template regarding the page's contested status up. As a side note, I do not see why specific attacks upon Israel merit such a large portion of the article. I think this is more a function of two very hotly contesting sides of an issue spreading out across Wikipedia as a battleground, and that the whole thing would probably do best either removed or footnoted to a relevant section of Israeli-Palestinian conflict instead. We probably should remember that Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox and apply that to the article. Thanks for your time.
