[edit] League of Copyeditors

Hi. I noticed you are skilled in copyediting. If you wish to work as part of team, you may want to enlist in the The League of Copyeditors. You are very welcome to join. Rintrah 13:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re Transpired

Yes. I used the word because I thought it was implied by "arrived by European knowledge", which I took as "became known to Europeans". But, to tell the truth, I didn't understand the original sentence, so I was guessing at its meaning. Rintrah 05:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Coup d'État de Yanaon

Hi Friend, It was me who created that article. i was native of Yanaon. Even my father was a french national ofcourse not now. What i have wrote was the information i gathered from very old people of yanaon. Regarding death of Monsieur Samatam, the mystery was whether his death was preplaned (assasination) or not. But he was deinitely shot by Monsieur Maddimchetty initially. But it was declared that indian military police killed him. Its very interesting story even i am trying to investigate more about it. You can view my articles and give me reply. Thanks for editing it. In order to maintain neutrality i kept them as questions rather than writingin one-sided manner.

[edit] i don't follow

I don't follow you? What are you talking about speedying something from my userspace? ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 16:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind I figured it out. Yeah the guy wrote the page has decided he wants to take over my user page for me or something, I told him to back off. Didn't realize that he accidentally put it into mainspace. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 16:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of Ensemble Gombert

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Ensemble Gombert, which you proposed for deletion, because I feel that this article should not be deleted from Wikipedia. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)



[edit] Careful on the Edit Conflicts

When you've been given notice of an edit conflict, you need to be careful to resolve it without undoing the work of a previous editor unless there is very good reason to undo it:

[edit] Climate Cooperation

About the Climate Cooperation page - I've put a hang on tag on and left a message on the talk page.

I can't quite see how it can be more objective - perhaps you could give me guidance.

Will Howard 17:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


Not sure if this was or automatic but ...

Wooh - how come after I tagged the page "hang on" it was deleted within about 10 mins of creation without any discussion?

This just seems wrong and not a good way to treat well meaning people. At least discuss it!!

You must let me know the reasons.

Will Howard 17:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trophy hunting

Just to let you know that you (and I) are now officially "childish" in wondering why an Article for "Deletion" began with "Keep"!! Gotta smile at the oddities sometimes :) 20:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Participation Drive

[edit] League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

Thanks for your help! Rintrah 09:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just so you know

I'm not new, I forgot to log into my account, Lord_of_Light. 69.141.31.78 19:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello...

Can you tell me how to automatically add a "non notable bio" warning on talk pages after you revert them? As you did on this page User talk:Redhead346. I use "twinkle" and "popups" and I have a list of various warnings I can add to talk pages from swatches in my top right corner but adding a warning for non-notable bio isn't there. Can you tell me how you did it? Thanks.Wikidudeman (talk) 19:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popups issue

I see you have run into the popups issue where it leaves the $ edit summary. Apparently it's a bug with some recent changes to popups. If you want to fix it, you can change back to the last version of popups - see User talk:Lupin#Getting "revision $1 dated $2 by $3". --Kubigula (talk) 03:05, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: More UPN vandal stuff

I think you should take that matter up with Tregoweth, because he is an admin, but I'm not. Thanks anyway. --AAA! (AAAA) 22:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Pixar films

Oops, didn't make the connection that when a template is sprotected, it also needs a noinclude. (I guess all pages that use the template would be sprotected otherwise.) Thanks for catching that, and I've added noinclude to the other two templates that UPN Vandal was hitting which I sprotected. --Butseriouslyfolks 00:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anthony Fanzo

Do you think it might be considered spam, or at least spam-like, too? HalfShadow 03:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Heck, now it looks like a test page. *grin* HalfShadow 03:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] star

The coveted Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
For helping me take care of that persistent vandal known as The UPN vandal. Thanks! ^_^ --AAA! (AAAA) 01:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

What can I say? You deserve it. --AAA! (AAAA) 01:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ontario?

Back on Feb. 14, you blocked me from editing Wikipedia because you said I had vandalised the page "Ontario". 2 responses:

First off, until I went to the Ontario page today, I don't believe I have ever even /been/ on that page, much less edited it.

Secondly, I have no idea what I could possibly have done that would qualify as vandalism on any page, Ontario or otherwise. I rarely even edit pages. I don't know if this is possible (I'm not the most computer-literate person), but I'm wondering if someone didn't hack into my computer and use my IP address.

Because Wikipedia defines vandalism as "any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia," I believe it is unfair to accuse me of vandalism. I didn't "add, remove, or change content" on the page in question, and even if I had, it wouldn't have compromised the integrity of Wikipedia, and even if it had compromised the integrity, I wouldn't have done that intentionally.

Because of this, I'm requesting that I be unblocked.

A final request: since I'm not very good with computers, I don't know how to search for the alleged vandalism on the older versions of the "Ontario" page; could you provide me with a link so I could see what was done? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.243.212.139 (talk) 15:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

If you've been blocked, you need to place the {{unblock}} tag on your talk page to contest it. In any case, I don't see any information in your block log indicating that you have been blocked in the first place (and even if there was, I cannot unblock other users since I am not an admin.) --Sigma 7 18:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shumil

I don't understand the {{db-histmerge}} tag you placed on this article; it says I should merge its history with itself? What exactly are you after? Splash - tk 22:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

...for all the applicable reverts. Dppowell 14:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] autobio templates

Hello. Because of an edit conflict with you a second ago, I was made aware of the template {{uw-autobiography}}. I was mostly using {{userfywarning}} and I think it's a much more appropriate template for new users who are often making the mistake in good faith and not because of a bloated ego. Feel free to use either but I think both templates can have value in different situations. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 03:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Hello, Can you, please, explain to me what are IP users and how I could fight their vandalism. Thank you. Mbz1 23:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Mbz1

[edit] Thanks for reverting . . .

. . . the childish vandalism on my user page. --Butseriouslyfolks 03:27, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] editprotected

I commented about your request at {{hangon}}. It would help if you put future {{editprotected}} tags just beside the request; admins scan for the tag to locate the request, and putting the tag at the top makes the request harder to find. CMummert · talk 12:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italo-argentinian

I didn' t want do to the article. Was just an idea of stub. I hope that someone able do the article. The article about the italo-brazilians [[1]] alredy exist. So i was thinking that we cannot forget Argentina, that is the country with the biggest percentege ([[2]], [3], [4] of italians. thanks

[edit] Spike TV

I DID NOT vandalize Spike TV, or any other articles, for that matter. >_< ?_? >_>

In fact, I did the exact OPPOSITE of vandalism. >_< ?_? >_>

[edit] Sheerness‎ FAC

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a LoCE member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Sheerness‎ article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 17:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pollyfilla

I have expanded this article, including finding additional sources. Would you be willing to reevaluate it for the the AfD? (Article was relisted in order to get more input -- otherwise I wouldn't have known about it.) --Ace of Swords 19:17, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asad Ahmad revert

Regarding your revert on Asad Ahmad. I've re-reverted it to the ugly version, and made an effort to clean up the formatting a bit. When working with biographies, it's really important that we don't let vandals insert hoaxes into the articles. When reverting to a revision that makes an accusation against a living person, you should try and do a quick web search to determine the veracity of the claim. It's better that we have badly formatted text on living biographies than the unfounded personal accusations that we've seen blow up into media storms so often in the past. It's not enough to just put a {{cn}} tag on it. Mark Chovain 01:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Urgent Help for Copy editing Kaziranga National Park in FAC

Kindly help in Copy editing Kaziranga National Park which is currently in FAC. I had put it up in WP:LOCE in April 2007, but still now no one have noticed. I need your urgent help in cpediting the article, as i am not so good in doing it. The article has no other issue but cpedit, i gurantee u that a fine refinement will help a lot.

[edit] Persian literature

Hi Sigma 7. I've been proofreading Persian literature, and I'm almost done. I'd add my signature to the usual LoCE box on the Talk page, but I don't see one. Being fairly new to Wikipedia, I'm reluctant to add one with no copyeditor's signature above mine. What's the protocol in situations like this? Finetooth 21:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there.
The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.
