[edit] Bulgarian translation

Hello Sallicio. You have asked for a Bulagrian translation of "Happy Editing". This could roughly be translated in "Приятно редактиране". If you need any help with other bulgarian phrases or words, please let me know. Regards, BloodIce (talk) 23:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

The fulltext should be:Здравейте! Казвам се Джеймс. Аз живях в Благоевград, България с моя баща (той беше професор в Американския университет там). Моля, кажете "Здравей" и приятно редактиране! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.120.148.211 (talk) 23:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I answered at my discussion page. Regards, BloodIce (talk) 23:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

Hey Sallicio. Nice to see you back.  :) I have one suggestion about your signature, but feel free to take it or leave it.

When you type four tildes (~~~~) to add your username and a timestamp, you don't need to also type your username (Sallicio). I personally don't mind, but some Wikipedians might find it odd.

If you want to know more about the general guidelines regarding signatures, see Wikipedia:Signatures - that page's only drawback is that it is a rather large document. (I just noticed that, might fix it later. ;)

Anyways, let me know what you think! --Iamunknown 06:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Your new signature looks good to me.  :)

One thing I would suggest, though, is to replace the TeX code (i.e. the <math>\color{Red} \oplus</math>) with a unicode character: ⊕ (or ⊕). Benefits: Shorter signature code (long signatures have been problematic in the past); Drawbacks: the character will not show up on all computers (such as where the computer lacks the requisite fonts, or where the browser is unicode-unaware), though I am unsure how many computers will be affected.

Also, Enigmaman is wise, so I would suggest that you listen to him too.  :)

Gah, sorry for my long posts! :P --Iamunknown 07:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A big thank you

Your awarding me a barnstar is most appreciated! If you need anything..let me know. Best wishes!--MONGO 09:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem...you deserved it!--Sallicio 01:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nousernamesleft

Hi, Sallicio, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC) This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

[edit] Redskin fan...

Me too...I used to live in the Washington area and well remember this event..25 years ago now! Living in Nebraska, I rarely get to see their games no,w but when they are broadcast nationally, I try to set time aside to watch them.--MONGO 15:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I've only been here for about six years. And the redskins are my team, but it's such a crap shoot with them...there's no telling who they'll win (or loose) against.--Sallicio 18:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Appreciate it. :D Enigma ^msg! 21:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Officer Salvatore

You obviously have some problem with the inclusion of Officer Salvatore's name in that article. I have posted on the talk page justifying it's inclusion, yet YOU seem to blindly revert as soon as you see his name. Not only did you do that twice without justifying yourself (No, saying WP:BPL isn't a justification, I even went through it and found the section on inclusion of names and it supports INCLUSION of his name.), no, not only did you do that, but you even removed the all the sources I added, the sourced section with FURTHER ALLEGATIONS against him, and basically all my work. I am once more adding my sourced work, as I consider your revert to be masked vandalism of the article. Next time, check the talk page. 64.230.5.184 (talk) 04:19, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfAs

Hi - thanks for your message. Have you seen Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship? The determining factor is whether there is a consensus that a user can be trusted to know and uphold its policies and guidelines. Typically, editors commenting on an RfA will want to see evidence that the user is aware of the relevant policies and guidelines and that they have applied them in the past - or at least that mistakes have been learned from. When closing an RfA, it's unusual to get complete consensus, so bureaucrats customarily look for a high level of agreement. As a broad guideline, if more than around 75% of comments expressing support or opposition are in support, then consensus can probably be demonstrated; if less than 70% are in support, then consensus probably cannot be. For cases close to or in this "grey area", then it is particularly important to look through the comments to determine the strength and relevance of the support and opposition. In some cases, there may also be clear trends - for instance, an increase in opposition late on, once a particular action has been highlighted in the discussion.

[edit] Re:

Indeedie. Thanks for the advice. I've removed it from my watchlist. I was a complete idiot not to check WP:CDB before I answered that! The only thing I'll say in my defense is that my connection was really wobbly at that point, and most wiki pages were taking ages to load, so I was only working from memory. All the best!

[edit] My RfA

Thank you very much for giving your support to my admin application, which recently closed successfully (36/3/1). I hope I can continue to justify the confidence that you have placed in me. If there is any way that I can help out more, please drop me a line. Thanks again. - 52 Pickup (deal) 22:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

		Thank you muchly for your support in my recent request for adminship, which was successfully closed on 76%, finishing at 73 supports, 23 opposes and 1 neutral. The supports were wonderful, and I will keep in mind the points made in the useful opposes and try to suppress the Larry David in me! Now I'm off to issue some cool down blocks, just to get my money's worth! Kidding btw. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 11:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ajaxwindows

Hi, Sallicio. You just place an {{db-spam}} tag on a article I just started, alleging it looks like an advertising spam. But it's not, really. I just added an item to the list of WebOS solutions and found out that there's not article related to ajaxwindows, so I wanted to create one. I believe this article needs to be expanded instead, and if it's going to be deleted, so the other items on the list. Please see WebOS for reference.

[edit] About that cartoon

Well, more particularly, the quote. The cartoon isn't an issue, it's on quite a few pages. The quote, however, may be more controversial, and it's only fair that I give you the background on where it came from. I first publicly wrote those words in a rather politically charged user RfC which went on to be an equally politically charged Arbitration Committee case. That case, and the quote, has linked me rather indelibly to a very talented but controversial editor. I've been around long enough to have established a bit of a reputation separate from Giano, but you might want to think about whether or not you wish people to perceive that you are linked to him. Risker (talk) 04:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know who Giano is (sounds like an extra from The Sopranos), but I will heed your warning. Good looking out!--Sallicio 04:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

This is his best-known non-article writing. I think you'll see what I mean by controversial by the time you get to the end. Risker (talk) 05:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, yes, I see. I think wikipedians like him are the ones that keep the WP wheels going. (civil) Diversity in philosophy is the key to the success of this project!--Sallicio 05:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I've just been reading some stuff from Giano, actually. I got myself involved in reading a bunch of old RfAs, which eventually included a RfA of Majorly's, which included an allegation of sockpuppetry, which let to something being posted at WP:BN, which got a lot of input from Giano. I don't know the background here, but how did a cartoon link Sallicio to Giano? Enigma ^msg! 05:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, the stuff about readers only caring if the info is correct. Absolutely correct. Enigma ^msg! 05:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I think what he meant was that the quote is etched in wiki-infamy. (as a sidenote, I am less than 100 away from my 2K edit count...woo hoo!)--Sallicio 05:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] country police departments

What is encyclopedic about them, unless they have been involved in notable events? DGG (talk) 00:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean county police departments? They are part of the governmental system (and also a part of a few WikiProjects such as WikiProject Law Enforcement and part of many categories). Some are more notable than others. But all are notable to some extent because of the basic criteria: verifiable references and third-party citations from local newspapers or other media outlets. I mostly write about Baltimore-DC area agencies making it very easy to verify notability (mostly because of the area's proximety to the nation's capital and the unusually high crime rates). However, some agencies such as Dorchester County Sheriff's Office (Maryland) on Maryland's eastern shore is not notable enough on its own, so I merged it into the county's parent article. I have done the same with some of the municipal departments that I have written about. I hope this is the answer you were looking for. By the way, what brought this up? Cheers!--Sallicio 01:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

combination of newpages and afd. I don't by the way see any 3rd party refs yet on the charles county one, and, from trying to source a few in the nyc area,i'm skeptical that non trivial mentions can be found, except for ones that get into major scandals or t he like. DGG (talk) 03:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you trying to delete some of the articles?--Sallicio 14:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the welcome...I have questions

Hi Sallicio...thanks for the note on my talk page...sorry for being such a noob. I've been asked to create an article for a major contributor to our industry and someone who gets searched quite a bit. It's a page similar to a colleague of his by the name of Sean Compton (also on Wiki). I'm trying my best to follow the rules, but now am feeling overwhelmed. In terms of citation, I'm adding this info direct from the horse's mouth, as it were (from Marc Chase himself). I'm not sure how to cite that, and feel like if I don't have the answers now, when my back is turned, this work will be gone.

Would love some guidance if you don't mind. I'm also happy to expand further, both on the reasons why he should be included, and my reasons for including the material I have.

Thanks in advance! Baldilocks (talk) 02:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello! No worries! It's actually quite simple! For an article to be accepted it needs a few things:

1. Verifable references (not MySpace, YouTube, etc)
2. Third-party citations for notability (e.g., mainstream media)
3. Clear, concise, and well-written format

• Another hint is this: When creating articles, place this tab,"{{construction}} at the top of page. It lets other editors know that you are still working on it, and it will should give you time to bring it up to wiki standards (some editors can be like hungry wolves with the speedy delete tabs.
• Another hint is this: Be careful not create original research. Even if you are an expert in the subject matter, you still need to follow #1 and #2 from above. The reason is simple...no one knows that you are an expert except for you! So this is why even is Mr. Chase is telling you all of this about himself, it is no good. Also be aware that wikipedia is not an advertising forum. Check out WP:NOT. It may seem a little overwhelming, but it doesn't take long to get the hang of it! I hope this answers some of your questions! Cheers!--Sallicio 03:10, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again. I'm curious...do other Wikipedia articles count as references? I will work on getting specific references for my other notes. Hopefully it will still be around when I can get them.  :-) Really appreciate the help. Baldilocks (talk) 03:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. No, other wiki-articles don't count. :-( I removed the speedy header and specified that you were a new editor in the edit summary, so hopefully, that will give you some time to fix it before someone speedies it out of existance! Cheers!--Sallicio 03:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

What I hope to be my final question for a while...lol... When an accurate reference is made, may I remove the "citation needed" tag? Thanks. Baldilocks (talk) 03:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Certainly you can take the cn out! I'll create a references subsection so your refs can be placed there automatically! just use this format, "<ref>http://www.wikipedia.org/</ref>" when placing refs into articles! And as long as I am online, I'll answer questions! Cheers!--Sallicio 03:57, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] O. George Dunn article

Hello Sallicio,

I'm wondering how to rectify (and remove) the "This article does not cite any references or sources. (March 2008)" notation to the O. George Dunn article. I've added references that point to the Internet Movie Database, the Turner Classic Movies Database, and also a family website which contains photocopies of documents. All of these contain materials that support the information in the article. Thank you very much for your help. --Respectfully —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winslow Peck (talk • contribs) 16:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Luigison V. Doran

Hi, declined speedy as not English is not necessarily a speedy deletion criterion. Subject appears notable, see talk. Please AfD if you wish. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 21:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Two things following on from the above.

1. Leaving a message to a brand new editor with the header "Welcome to the English Wikipedia but please don't be a troll" merely because they created a non-english page as you did here? Exceedingly bitey - please don't do that again.
2. If you're going to replace speedy deletion tags which I (or, indeed, any other admin) remove, then I suggest you spend a bit more time reading WP:CSD. The first tag placed was G1 - nonsense, in the sense of gibberish. The tag itself states that it doesn't apply to articles which are in a language other than English. You then replaced it with {{db-foreign}} with the edit summary "This is the English Wiki". Not the right action unless you can also show which non-english wiki it is reproduced from, in which case you should have included it as a parameter in the speedy deletion tag. If it's simply that it's not in english, tag it with {{notenglish}} and, as has happened, it's been translated into English.

Act like you did in this instance (and I'm not saying it's typical of your actions, necessarily) but you run the risk of (i) scaring off new editors, and (ii) potentially valid and valuable content being deleted out of hand. _GB^T/C 12:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your point of view; however, a reasonable and prudent person would consider what the editor did as "trollish" at the least. Why would someone come to the English wiki and write an entire article in Afrikaans (or Dutch or whatever language that was)? That is simply common sense. And, "Welcome to the English Wikipedia but please don't be a troll" clearly does not fall within WP:BITE. If you look at my history [ahem, save my first few weeks when I was learning how to associate in the wikisociety ;)], I am notorious for staying level-headed and guiding those who do trollish things (look at the few entries above). If you continue with what I wrote after the heading, I go on to say that if he/she needs anything, that he/she is free to contact me on my talk page, ending with a very light-hearted, "Cheers!" I have helped many new editors from your fellow biting administrators. Second point, the tag ,{{db-nonsense}}, would have failed the speedy, because a foreign language is obviously not nonsense, and my {{db-foreign}} was more accurate (even though both were wrong). As to your (ii) point, the editor could have been writing about how to make a stable cold fusion generator that would have benefited mankind for ages but it still would have violated WP:N. I can appreciate your point of view, but I disagree with most of it. Last point: I understand that you are still a relatively new administrator but comments like, "If you're going to replace speedy deletion tags which I (or, indeed, any other admin) remove then I suggest..." are a bit borderline of "do-what-I-say-because-I-am-an-admin" and is indicative of future abuse of the mop (not that you would ever do such a thing, but don't forget what Jimbo said about WP:DEAL). However, I am always open to new schools of thought and I will try to be more diligent in the future when placing speedies on new page articles and I appreciate you keeping me on my toes! Good looking out! Happy editing!--Sallicio 22:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, well, just a quickie to reply. Whatever their motivations, your message failed to assume good faith - {{uw-create1}} or {{uw-create2}} would have done just the same thing, but without biting them. Yes, you said "Cheers", and offered your help, but all that came after calling them a troll and warning them that they may be blocked - a warning which doesn't crop up until you get to {{uw-create3}}, a template which actively assumes bad faith, incidentally.

The question wasn't about whether the article violated WP:N at all - without knowing what the article said, and without knowing that it was directly ported from another Wiki, then no-one is in any place to make any judgment call about that - now that the article has been translated we can draw conclusions as to whether or not the person gets over the bar of notability.

Finally I wasn't remotely trying to say "do what I say because I'm an admin" - more "this is where you're going wrong, and how you can avoid it in the future" - ie. read WP:CSD and take a little more care about your tagging. If my words came across another way then I happily and readily apologise. The wider point is, though, that if I, or other admins, are removing tags and not deleting the article, then not only does it mean we don't think the article is speediable under that tag, it almost certainly means we don't think it's speediable under any tags - as we can "shoot on sight" when speedily deleting articles we don't have to wait for someone to tag an article with a category that it fits - we can just delete it and fill in our criteria on the deletion form. By removing the tag and not deleting the page, it's an indicator that we don't feel the page can be speedily deleted under any of the criteria.

Oh, and if you want to compare notes on rocky starts on Wikipedia, mine's been deleted. A beautifully formatted, illustrated and perfectly cited article about a completely made up individual. It was deleted less than 2 minutes later, and I got the standard {{uw-create1}} template. ;-) _{The public face of GB}^T/C 13:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I agree with most of what you say, save a few points as follows:

1. {{uw-create3}} states will be blocked; I stated may be blocked (just like your statement to me of, "this is where you're going wrong..."). Secondly, the uw-create series is a guideline not an absolute.
2. The points you made on your second paragraph are spot on except you should replace "admin" with editor. There is nothing special about admin edits. Anyone (except for the author) can remove or replace a speedy tag off of an article. You seem to be rather well-intentioned (and correct on most points), but just congratulate your adminship a bit much for my taste. A bit of advise to prevent others from misunderstanding your advise...leave the (I am admin, hear me roar) bits out of the commentary. In fact, I wouldn't even mention it at all unless you absolutely must. Most people will go to your userpage anyway just to see to whom they are talking (and there they will see the mop or whatever you have stating your possession of administrative tools).

Other than that, I appreciate the advise and I will adjust my future edits accordingly! Cheers!--Sallicio 16:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation

I saw your post here. DHMO was talking about the Request for Arbitration. See this. You were talking about Request for Adminship, which by the way, would be a poor idea. MONGO had over 100 opposes on his last RfA and he'd have no chance at passing another one. Hope MONGO stays, but it doesn't look good. For future reference, RfAr refers to Requests for Arbitration at ArbCom. Enigma ^message Review 19:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. I had multiple screens open and was monitoring two different situations and was typing too fast. Good looking out, though! :)--Sallicio 03:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Baan Dek Montessori

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Unfortunately, the Montessori name and method were never patented, so that anyone could use the name when opening a school. For instance, you could open the Sallicio Montessori school for Wiki lovers. That is why Maria Montessori herself created the Association Montessori Iternational, as an independent organization to accredit and certify schools so that parents within the community know that their children are receiving an authentic Montessori education. This is of the utmost importance. If there is any deception, it comes from misuse. Accreditation, therefore, is a rigorous and essential process that is conducted by an organization, independent of the particular school. Apart from a local newspaper clipping, which was referenced, the Association Montessori International is the only independent source of verification. Please advise. Much appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreamduke (talk • contribs) 18:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the deletion templates and replaced them with the {{construction}} template and started the clean up. Are you at the (***)***-6297 telephone number? If so, I will give you a call so we can fix this and make it fall within wiki-standards.--Sallicio 18:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The McKinnon Worker

How does the article not count as "spam" the tag says "an article created to promote some ...?" I'd like to know so that I am using the appropriate tags. Thank you. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello! For {{db-spam}} to apply, the article needs to be blatant advertising. For example, "The McKinnon Worker is a great magazine. To order a year subscription call 555-1234 or go online to www.thisisaspamarticle.com". Otherwise we must assume good faith and just place the "fix-it" templates on the top of the article. I hope this clears it up for you! Cheers!--Sallicio 09:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

• So quoting the introduction "The McKinnon Worker is the world's best piece of writing ever created. It has often been labelled 'The Best Thing Since The Big Bang'. The newspaper/newsletter was founded by one Sir Linford Bennett, who's acheivements are infinite. Sir Linford, who is awesome is the editor of this creation and no doubt he could not have done it without the work of his friends." doesn't apply even though it promotes the magazine/newspaper/etc simply because it doesn't try to sell something. Okay. So is there a criteria I'm not yet aware of that covers vanity articles of this type? Or is it simply a matter of putting them all through AfD? Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I see where you're coming from on this, but it doesn't seem like it's trying to get you to buy something. If nothing else, it's just a vanity article. See WP:CSD. Although, it doesn't fit the criteria for Speedy deletion, it is an excellent candidate for an AfD as someone has already sent it there. Cheers!--Sallicio 09:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. I do believe they are completely notable because of the press links (and also because I was recently in Portland and they're a big deal there. Drewhamilton (talk) 06:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Here's a suggestion; find another article that is already in the wiki and merge it into that article. Sometimes subjects are notable, just not quite on their own yet. That way, people can still enjoy learning about the subject matter, but we don't have quasi-notable mini-articles springing up everywhere! Cheers!--Sallicio 06:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
