[edit] Re: Typhoon Cimaron(2006)

Hi Pika ten10,

I just wanted to stop by and let you know why I redirected your newly-created page to an existing one. I noticed on the talk page of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season article that you suggested this and, being bold, went ahead and did it.

While I am very happy you made that call, I simply have an alternate suggestion I would like to share with you here. Basically, take the new content you put together for the article you created (accessible here) and put it into the existing section. Continue to expand the existing section to the point where it absolutely dominates the article and then split it off into a new article. The reason for this is very simple: new articles don't get a whole lot of attention compared to existing ones. By making your edits in an existing space, you maximize the number of editors who will read, improve, and expand upon them. This, in turn, means you will have more people following the content when it is split off into a new article, which in turn improves the content there, and so on and so forth.

I hope you don't take this as a message not to be bold; you're certainly welcome to undo my redirect and continue on with making the article. Rather, I just wanted to ensure that valuable resources such as yourself are being used to their full potential.

Feel free to drop by with any questions or comments you may have. Happy editing! --jonny-mt(t)(c)Tell me what you think! 11:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, this is the second time tonight an editor has written on my talk page while I've been writing on theirs. I think it's time for a little break >.< --jonny-mt(t)(c)Tell me what you think! 11:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please Adopt Me...

Good Evening. I'm Tintin, male, from the Philippines. You know, I've just been recently editing some articles [i.e. the 2006 Pacific typhoon season and a "new aricle", Typhoon Cimaron (2006)]. To be more familiar with the editing and deletion policies here in Wikipedia (I think that you can update me of any editing new policies in Wikipedia), can you please adopt me?

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you may please see and put your message in my talk page. Thank you for reading this message. --Pika ten10 11:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there :)
How're you going?
I'd be happy to adopt you! Is there anything specific you wanted to know first?
Looking forward to your reply- CattleGirl talk 08:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if I couldn't talk with you these days. I've been especially busy of my school requirements, though I've been editing some more articles for grammatical errors or deleting a few nonsense words. Ah, I almost forgot... you can adopt me anytime. As of now, I don't have any questions but I'll approach you immediately if I do have. Thank you for replying, my dear friend...--Pika ten10 (talk) 12:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Done.
Exactly the same here, I've been away unexpectedly for a week, so sorry about that.
That's fine :) If you think of any questions, be sure to ask, and I'll give you suggestions along the way.
Cheers- CattleGirl talk 08:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for adopting me... I may ask that can I write nothing to my "Edit Summary" box? You know, I always write a summary about my edits on a page, but that I think it just wastes my time, especially on a talk page. Please, I need your urgent reply... -Pika ten10 11:30, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Is the Wikipedia Signpost subscription free(i.e. you'll never pay anything)?? You know, I want to subscribe on the signpost! :) -Pika ten10 11:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome!
Well, of course you can write nothing in the edit summary box, but it's generally a good idea, because it shows other editors exactly what you've been doing. It saves time so people don't have to look at diffs to see the differences in a page- and of course, if later on you'd be looking at being an administrator, accurate edit summaries is something that editors look for.
You don't have to be really comprehensive, usually I just write 'reply' or similar on talk pages and that's pretty sufficient, unless it's a fairly large edit, where I'll go into more detail.
The Signpost is free, and it's a pretty good idea to subscribe, it's pretty interesting.
I think that's it- feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Cheers- CattleGirl talk 22:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Why is it important to wikify a page instead of using HTML??? -Pika ten10 (talk) 13:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC) I think people editing Wikipedia must be given freedom on what format to use in an article.

-Pika ten10 (talk) 13:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for taking so long to reply... christmas etc.
The way I see it, wikification is important because most people, myself included, don't know sufficient HTML to edit a page. Also, HTML is a bit cluttery... as it does the job, there's a lot of text there (just look at my signature!)
Just something I noticed to improve your editing (wikification again, I suppose...)... It's a good idea when you reply to a message to start a reply with a colon= : . That'll indent your message the way mine will.
So one colon will look like this
Two will look like this
Three will look like this
and so on and so forth.
Just makes it a bit easier to read replies, etc.
Cheers- and if I don't talk to you before then, have a great christmas :) - CattleGirl talk 08:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Although I agree on you indentation, can you please allow to do non-indentation...? This will be our format if any of us will start a new topic for discussion. That is so that we will understand that one of us has started a new discussion.

Thus it will be this: TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION 1

Reply 1
Reply 2
Reply n

TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION 2

Reply 1
Reply 2

and so on... Is this okay with you. Reply here... -Pika ten10 (talk) 06:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

This is a FREE PAGE! You can talk to me here ANYTIME!

Oh, and thanks so much for the merry christmas! Here's something I made for you-
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!

Enjoy! CattleGirl talk 11:31, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thank you for adding information on the 11pm advisory of PAGASA on Typhoon Mitag (Mina)

Thanks for the message, but I didn't update any PAGASA information. Maybe this is the person whom you wish to talk to. -- RattleMan (talk) 16:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:User Socialist

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Your question

I'll admit I was a bit shocked and offended. I'm not going to hold it against you, as it's not like you know me, but his views were so awful that I presumed that any sane person would condemn him, and so there didn't seem much point saying anything but "and, of course, I blocked him". I find his views vile, and would never support them. Adam Cuerden talk 03:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Munich/Boroughs of Munich merger

Can you please put an explaination of your reasoning on both talk pages. Kingjeff (talk) 05:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eastern Front (World War II)

Would you like to explain to me why you removed the redtags from this article?--mrg3105 (comms) If you're not taking any flak, you're not over the target. 12:22, 17 February 2008 (UTC) Are the red tags important??? -Pika ten10 (talk) 12:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Would it not have been a better idea to ask in the talk page first before editing? Yes, they are very important because they define the structure of the Eastern Front periodisation and the two hundred articles of operations that will linked to them.--mrg3105 (comms) If you're not taking any flak, you're not over the target. 12:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

What that one who did that has done was linking, not redtagging. If you want to edit that so it would be redtagged, use the font tag with attribute color="red". OK??? Complaints??? Put it below...
