RE: About sprotect

Yeah I noticed that shortly after when I read the documentation on it and removed it again, all that "Doug" vandalism is starting to annoy me. I made an attempt at reporting it but nothing as been done yet, maybe you could try? ^^; Happy holidays to you. Shawnmb 03:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

sprotect helps only against IP vandals. Both types of protection are enacted only when vandalism is very often and by many different vandals. You should consider using Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. When you notice some vandalism, revert it and then warn him with appropriate warning message. If its obvious vandalism give him {{blatantvandal}} and if not then {{test1}}. With repeat vandals give test2 and test3. If somebody vandalises after blatantvandal or test3/4 warning report him to WP:AIV (which is what I did with "Doug" vandal just now). Shinhan 06:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm still a bit new to wikipedia so I'm slightly confused, would I be adding (for example) { { subst:test 3} } (spaces added for talk page) to the vandalised article version itself or the IPs talk page? What is the procedure to warn a registered user for vandalism? Thanks! Shawnmb 13:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
In short, correct the article and post warning only on user's page. Also dont forget to sign yourself when warning. Start with lower level warning (test1, test2) and if user persists give higher level ones. Once he gets test4 reprot him to WP:AIV. For more help on this you might consider asking on Help Desk.

re:Greeting Cards

"removed non notable companies. Company must have Wikipedia article to be listed here!" How Nazi is that. It's so nice to see that an online free encylopedia like Wikipedia can be so narrow minded. Or maybe it's just you. If an artical was made on any company removed by you from the Greeting Card list, you would no doubt remove it to leaving the issue moot. Zig heil!

There is a HUGE number of Greating Card companies in the world. If we were to list all of the companies in the "See Also" section of Greeting Cards then that article would become a collection of links instead of an article about Greeting Cards themselves. Therefore, only a several companies should be listed, and best criterion by which to select which companies to list are only those companies that already have articles. When random strangers are adding links to companies in which they work this is of course recognised as advertising. And Wikipedia is NOT a place for you to advertise your company!

re:AFD

I didn't say it's not allowed to list an article for AfD more than once, it's just it is stupid and unproductive to do so. I know about GNAA and I think it's history of AfDing illustrates my point well.  Grue  11:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Know any others with such very high number of AFDs? Shinhan 11:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English

Thanks for the info on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English (→Rasonalizam), I have deleted the article as a copyvio, source and tag were provided by User:Garion96. I also warned the user who posted it, with a {{nothanks}}. Thanks again. DVD+ R/W 03:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Zuzanji

Hi Shinhan... I just wanted to let you know that I thought Zuzanji was worth keeping, so I deleted the delete notice and rewrote it to be more encyclopedic and less POV. I see from your user page that you're a Serbian user, so you're as good a judge as any that it's not a notable website, But I'm a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias, and I just feel that there is so much English language crap pop culture (see Zoë Birkett) that the balance might as well be redressed with the addition of non-english language pop culture crap!! --Sepa 21:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I did not suggest deletion b/c its Serbia crap, but b/c its just too small. There are several other much bigger Serbian communities that are more notable, and not represented in Wikipedia. Zujanje just looks like an advertising attempt. I'll document this thoroughly on Zujanje talk. Shinhan 05:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
You're right; not only is it not notable, it's a blatant ad. As I can't create the deletion page, and more importantly, you have made a far more cohesive argument for its deletion on the talk page, I request your assistance with the afd of this article. I'd also like to encourage you to consider creating those articles for the Serbian communities that you feel are notable but aren't represented in the English Wikipedia. 24.126.199.129 15:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Anons can't create new pages and since AFD process requires creation of AFD discusion page you were unable to finish the process, I've finished it now. You might want to consider registering for an account :) As for making those articles... I'll go to the forums in question and ask for references, b/c Im not starting anything without them. Shinhan 18:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
You've convinced me! I won't contest the deletion any more! Cheers, --Sepa 19:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Shinhan: Thanks. 24.126.199.129 22:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Emulation Galaxy

That link is pointing to the wrong section now, since someone just retitled the headings. Please read WP:EL#Restrictions_on_linking. The reason the link was removed is because it is a copyright violation, and cannot be linked from Wikipedia. Dmcdevit·t 07:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Serbian language

Thanks for the info you added on my recent Reference desk query, that the Serbian language can be written in either Cyrillic or Latin alphabets. My material is usually ca. WWII or commemorating its events, and I suppose most of what I've seen is in Cyrillic, so perhaps that's a period issue? No particular examples come to mind at present, but now that I'm tied into the Wikipedian resource community, I'll be sure to check in next time this arises. -- Cheers, Deborahjay 13:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

It might be a good question for a RefDesk on Serbian Wikipedia to see when was Latin script started getting used in Yugoslavia. Personally, I have no knowledge of Linguistical History. Shinhan 13:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Excel thing

Hey, that was great what you did! That's exactly what I wanted. There were a few problems with the macros, but I was surprised that I could fix them so easily! I had no idea what I was doing either! Anyway, it's up and running and it's great! Thank you so much!

If I ever have any other excel questions, I'll come to you! → JARED (t)  20:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. Though Im not very proficient with macros as I always try to solve everything without them. Shinhan 20:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
