User talk:I dream of horses/2017/March
Just wanted to thank you and point out that the by-state stub templates for Mexican radio stations are very new. I'm trying to reduce Category:Mexico radio station stubs to a handful of articles that actually deal with stations in multiple states (like Fundación Cultural para la Sociedad Mexicana), so more of these would help me big time. I've chipped away at the size of it, but it needs a lot more time and effort put into re-sorting. Raymie (t • c) 07:30, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Raymie: You'll be glad to know that Category:Mexico radio station stubs is under 1,000 articles at the moment. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 05:55, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
Total1965 (talk) 09:15, 2 March 2017 (UTC) Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.
My answer has been deleted from the user that sent me the message, and I thought to post it here also for the record.
Following the above message we want to state as follows: After we identify many inaccuracies and false information across all relevant pages, we have been authorised by the artist this page represents, i.e. Mr Thom Yorke (you do recognise it is his page, is that right?), to do what it takes for the improvement of the quality of the page and for the accuracy of the information it is provided on this page, in connection with his work and his other activities.
For example there are no links to support many names regarding the influences or the collaborations that Mr Yorke or Radiohead have made in the past. For a start I find it odd that names as Ms Bjork's cited as an influence to such an extend that has changed an artist's life, although there is not one article with that kind of statement on behalf of the artist. Elsewhere, and again for Bjork, where are the evidence that she has any kind of association or influence to Radiohead or Mr Thom Yorke. There is none because it is not exist, it is fake information that has been manipulated by those who benefit, and certainly not from Mr Yorke or Radiohead. So, if you are not working for Bjork that I deeply doubt, please let us know, we may need to protect our legal rights. And it is not a joke.
Finally, to accuse me of disruptive content with 3 days of contributions, it is more likely that you have done it countless times in the past, as a serial wikipedian. It is your behaviour that is disruptive I have to say, and that kind of fascism makes me wonder, are you really who you say that you are? I mean I thought that you strive for true content and that you protect the work and the rights of the artists, or are you some kind of Neo Nazi authoritarian bipartisan ?Total1965 (talk) 09:15, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

your work is amazing!
editI came across your profile cuz you edited something from my watchlist (sorry, i cant recall. I currently have severe issue with short term memory, but long term memory is very sharp). I just wanted to let you know your work is very impressive :)
one question though. May i know which country are you from? —usernamekiran ( talk ) 10:52, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Thanks
- I'm from the United States. Why do you ask? -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 19:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Also, to jog your memory, Yavatmal is probably the article you're trying to recall. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 19:57, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- yes, yavatmal it is. I spent three years of my childhood there. The quarters that we used to live in, is now converted in police station. And i dont know why i asked the question :D i mean, i think there is no reason. —usernamekiran ( talk ) 20:18, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- i also wanted to ask, how do you manage time on wikipedia? And how did you come across the article for Yavatmal? Like, do you keep a watch on renetly edited articles, or by category or something like that? I dont know how to use that :-/
- i also wanted to ask, how do you manage time on wikipedia? And how did you come across the article for Yavatmal? Like, do you keep a watch on renetly edited articles, or by category or something like that? I dont know how to use that :-/
- so i usually stick to the stuff that is in my watchlist. And also, i make changes if i see something to be changed while i am reading. Most of my watchlist consist of JFK related things, and people, then some CIA guys, then some CIA stuff lol, then many persons of interest/ accused by someone and stuff like that. And it keeps on increasing. The watchlist, i mean. One finds article B in article A, then C in B, and so on. I am from india btw. —usernamekiran ( talk ) 20:59, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: I tend to either use huggle, which presents me edits that might be vandalism all over Wikipedia, or I use stub/cleanup categories and autowikibrowser. Sometimes, Suggestbot will come around with a list of articles, and I'll simply use the categories, blue links, and "articles linking to this article" features on autowikibrowser to edit them.
- As to how I 'manage time'...well, sometimes I'll go away for a few months and come back to Wikipedia, and I suppose this would technically be a Wikibreak, but otherwise, if I'm not busy on a certain day, I'll edit. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 00:06, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- I used twinkle for a day or two. I think I'm nor ready for it yet. Maybe after a few days. How much time do you spend on wikipedia everyday? I spend like two hours. The first thing I do is to check my watchlist, then I just keep reading wiki lol. —usernamekiran (talk) 11:13, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran: It varies. Sometimes, I don't spend any time on it at all. Other times, I can spend several hours on it. I don't have a watchlist, though.
So what's difficult about Twinkle? Maybe I can help. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 21:20, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- thanks for the offer :) i didnt find it difficult. I just felt, i shouldnt use it or bots for few more days. I recently created a debacle on the Talk:List of unusual deaths lol, i created the discussion "removal of isadora duncan". I think i should stick to the articles related to my knowledge, before moving to other articles. And cuz of my varied knowledge base, there are a lot of articles hehe. They range from raynaud's phenomenon, lupus, some more fields related to medical, and then physics, electronics, quantum mechanics, quantum chromodynamics, psychology, psychiatry, psychiatric meds among MANY others. And ironically, 95% of my contribution is related to jfk. :-D here are the two pages that i created: QKENCHANT, and John J. Hicks. PS: you should try {{od}} instead of {{unindent}} —usernamekiran (talk) 22:16, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: I'll probably continue using {{unindent}} out of habit. It's the same thing as {{od}}. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:43, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- yes, they do the same thing. Did you see the QKENCHANT, and John J. Hicks? —usernamekiran (talk) 22:53, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Yes, they seem to be very well-written, and I see you created them. Good job. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 23:06, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
lol thanks. But it it wasnt much difficult. I had an extra charge of content writer while i was working in R&D of operating systems. So writing articles isnt much difficult for me, it is the part on wiki of "what to write". Because, whatever i want to write, there is already an article(s) for that. And there is the issue of "notability", i had to keep that in mind when i created both the articles. Fortunately they meet all the requirements of wikipedia. Both of them are stubs though. But i think i will get more information on them after Oct 27, 2017. —usernamekiran ([[User talk:Usernamekiran| I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 23:36, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- i apologise, but i didnt understand:
- "I find that there's lots to do without writing articles, which seems difficult to do."
- do you mean, there are many other things other than writing the articles, writing articles seems difficult to do? Sorry, english is my third language. Sometimes i get confused lol. —usernamekiran (talk) 00:00, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Richard Warshak
editThank you for your attention to the article: Richard Warshak. You requested sources for the Education section. Cornell does not publish an online alumni directory that is open to the public. But the Cornell Alumni Magazine, volume 104, Issue 5, March/April 2002 mentions me in the Class Notes, page 94, column 1, first complete paragraph. Here is the link: http://hdl.handle.net/1813/28159 Also, you asked for a citation for the statement that the Warshak dissertation “was the first study to directly compare children growing up in father-custody homes to children growing up in mother-custody homes.”
A source for this statement can be found if you Google: santrock warshak journal social issues. The first hit is to an article cited by 392. This journal article was based on my dissertation. The beginning of the journal article reviews the literature at that time and demonstrates that my dissertation study was the first study to directly compare children growing up in father-custody homes to children growing up in mother-custody homes. Thus, the reference for this statement in the paragraph under Career is that 1979 article. The full reference for that article can be found as the first reference in the section: Selected publications: Scientific articles. Another source that may be relevant to add is from the New York Times. I authored an amicus brief that was influential in the decision made by the California Supreme Court. The New York Times published an article mentioning my work and quoting me in their Sunday, Front page of Section 1 article on the landmark case. Here is a link to this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/08/nyregion/divorced-parents-move-and-custody-gets-trickier.html?_r=0 I apologize if the format of my comments above is inaccurate, or if I am supposed to place this type of comments somewhere else.Rawars (talk) 14:14, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!
editI created an entry for Malkia Cyril last year (it was my first ever created entry in Wikipedia) and I revisited it this year to to affirm that entreis when done right take on a life of their own. I saw in the edit history that you noticed it had been purposefully written in gender neutral phrasing. I did it to honor Cyril's own identification (evidenced to me in both the art made and the political activism made by Cyril) I didn't expect it would last like that forever, and was always curious if other Wikipedians would catch that or would superimpose gendered pronouns, so thanks for careful attention to that text and for your willingness to edit with that in mind.

American film stubs
editHello! While I appreciate your work in adding stub articles to {{WikiProject Film}} with the appropriate stub tags, for American films the country tags should only be used as a last resort. There are over 22,000 Stub-class film articles that fall under the American cinema task force, so please consider using a more appropriate genre stub tag on those articles, instead of the stub tags in Category:American film stubs.

A message from 2605:8D80:6A0:E1DE:D1D8:53DE:7184:3AE3
editHi there. I don't use this site very much. I don't know how to link stuff properly and I don't have the time. I think maybe you left an edit on the talk page of the sodomy article? Back in 2015? I wish to add this to that talk page but I notice you say same sex activities were always the worst fleshly sins. Umm. Strange flesh are angels. Fallen ones go after only females. Strange flesh is not a man and another man. Where is his knowledge of the strangeness of another man? It comes from his sodomitical knowledge of the fall of man. Is serpent seed adam and steve or adam and eve and "somebody else"? It is the latter. The latter spawning all death and sin. Why would God want to wipe out a town of homosexuals if they all needed surrogacies to survive past one generation? The article says their destruction was already planned but doesn't mention this. Why offer females to "known gays"? These words didn't even exist at the time. But the concepts did. Josephus said Sodom increased their numbers. Again. How did a bunch of 100% homosexuals go about doing this? I could go on and on. The 144,000. Why Centurion didn't want Christ in his house. David and Jonathan. Ruth and Naomi. Born eunuchs. Etc etc etc. Take care 2605:8D80:6A0:E1DE:D1D8:53DE:7184:3AE3 (talk) 07:53, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- I have never edited the talk page of the Sodomy. Since you haven't provided a link to the section that you're talking about, I can't help you any further in terms of contacting the right person.
- However, please note that Wikipedia, when running at its' best, is very much about fact and analysis of expert opinions, and not about our own opinions. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 09:32, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

strange vandalism spotted
editActually, the vandalism isn't much strange. It is very well planned, methodical "disturbance". Kindly visit and skim User talk:Rævhuld. In last 48 hours, he was served ANI notice for this strange issue. I think, you might find it interesting.
Also, I'm almost done with my new profile page. Would you please take a look at it? I mean, would please let me know if it is okay technically, and on the visual levels? Thanks a lot. :) —usernamekiran (talk) 10:57, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Technically, I'd say your new profile page is an improvement over the old one.

- hi, as Rævhuld was trying to create disturbance regarding JFK through legitimate methods of wikipedia, i had added his talkpage to my watchlist (JFK means a lot to me lol, so it is my policy to keep an eye on activities of users which i suspect for vandalising JFK related articles). Recently he did some edits there, and now i think he has requested to archive all the discussions of his talkpage, i am not sure what it is. If his talkpage becomes clear again, he might start creating disturbances again. Would you please take a look at his talkpage? Thanks a lot. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:53, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

suggestbot
editFew minutes ago, i added the sgeestbot template to my userpage. Within few seconds, the bot suggested me. Just a few seconds from that, i added a specific category "cities and towns of india" to the bot's template. And within few seconds, the bot suggested me another set of pages. But the new set was not much related to my request. How to improve the bot's suggestions? And also, how to remove his entries from talkpage once i am done with the pages? And also, how often he will suggest me, and how to adjust the frequency of his suggestion?
Btw, i added a photo of myself to wiki commons, and then to my userpage. But later, i got concerns about my privacy, so i nominated the photo for deletion lol. I hope you get to see it before it gets deleted. The photo was taken in December, 2016. A selfie with rear camera . That [[File:Usernamekiran.jpg|thumb|right|username kiran during holiday visit to Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala is the second most reachest temple after Vatican.

- @Usernamekiran: I'm unsure as to improve the suggestions in suggestbot, as I've never done it in the way you have. Perhaps another user, or the bots' developer Nottrom can answer the question.

Thanks :) the statue behind me is like one of my first crushes lol. I had seen her for the first time around 2004, she was just a stone statue at that time. Now some idiot painted her with primer. Anyways, i found this parameter regarding SuggestBot. This example uses one category, and one page.
{{User:SuggestBot/config|List of towns in India by population|Category:Cities and towns in Maharashtra|frequency = twice a month}}

- Hello again :)
I want to archive particular discussions of my talk page (not blanking/deleting them), how should i do that?
I tried to follow the methods described on Help:Archiving a talk page, which seems to be problematic, as i ended up creating this talkpage lol.
I apologise that i keep asking you silly/stupid questions.
- Hello again :)
Thanks a lot. —usernamekiran (talk) 13:27, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Well, I do make myself open my questions, don't I?
- I'm guessing you got suggestions related to JFK and the CIA because that's what you edit. I'm not sure how to override the "Only do articles related to the last 500 I've edited" feature of SuggestBot.
- Some do "Archive 1", "Archive 2" type of archives instead of monthly archives. So, you probably did something right, even if it isn't what you intended to do. This is the Wikicode I use for automatic archiving:
- {{User:MiszaBot/config|algo=old(1d)|archive=User talk:I dream of horses/%(year)d/%(monthname)s|archiveheader={{MonthlyArchive}}|minthreadsleft=2|minthreadstoarchive = 3 }}
- It makes it so threads that are one day old or older are archived, but only if there's at least 3 archivable threads and 2 threads (archivable threads or not) can be left behind. This makes a non-cluttered talk page. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 14:38, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- No, i meant I created two usergages (namely suggestbot 1 and 2), on 1 i requested JFK, and CIA, and on 2 i requested the category of "cities and town in india". Even though suggest bot suggests you as per your requested categories, it doesnt overlook your previous edits. Thats what the creator of the bot told me. And it happened to me as well. It included some CIA related articles in the suggestion of cities n towns lol.
- I didnt understand "I do make myself open my questions, don't I?".
- i do not want automated archival. I will look up for the information again. :) —usernamekiran (talk) 18:00, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Excuse me, I meant "I do make myself open to questions". Whoops.
- Maybe SuggestBot doesn't know how to handle two userpages? I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 01:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

- and you said the same thing again lol. "i do make myself open to questions". No difference at all. If you are forgetting, english is my third language :-p
- and no, i dont think pages is issue with Suggestbot. Like his creator said, he just gets confused. You should see the creators photo btw, cool dude. Mostly bald, and ties a pony-tail of whatever hair he has. —usernamekiran (talk) 01:50, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
I'm trying to say that I make myself available to those who want to ask questions.
I think if you stick with people who need help with understanding policies, then you'd be okay with "adopting" a user. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 01:52, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

- @Dhanu246: It appears as though the people you are writing about don't have the sources necessary to have an article.
- The English Wikipedia isn't the only Wikipedia that exists. It may help to edit the Wikipedia in your mother tongue. You may understand the rules better. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:10, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
Recently, there was an edit on an article from my watchlist, Jim Garrison. I realised you had welcomed him: Special:Contributions/Stephen_Singer
That reminded me, I wanted to thank you a few days ago. Because, it was because of you, that I met a new friend, who later became my apprentice. Yup, it was because of you. You welcomed him after his very first edit. He was a completely newbie. No experience of wiki at all. When he saw your talkpage, he saw our communication, then he saw my userpage. He found an article to edit whcih was mentioned on my userpage. Well, thats how we got talking, and soon I became his mentor. "Adopted a user" sounds sort of creepy to me lol.
So, thanks a lot again. It is because of you that i met him.
PS: do you have some articles in mind which need to be merged? I just merged a few articles, and later i realised i should have taught him merging. —usernamekiran (talk) 00:16, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- I found an article to merge, it was related to an that we were already working on lol.
- What do tou think, what should i teach him next?
- wow! After many days, my ipad is wobbling, and keyboard's print is losing the sharpness. Wheee. I should sleep. Please suggest me something to teach him. He is very fast. Take care buddy. Meanwhile, i will install my bedroom in fort of goddess of sleep n dream. Amd please remind me tomorrow what i blurted now. Anterograde amnesia. Bye :-) i will post only the guidlines for merging to hi, but i will not tell him what articles have been selected as targets. —usernamekiran (talk) 00:37, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- my zolpidem kicked in but i cant sleep even after that! Would you please help me after 12-14 hours from now? I think i should go offline from everywhere. See you tomorrow horsey. Take care. —usernamekiran (talk) 00:51, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: I'd imagine your mentee would help you with figuring out what to teach him next.
- Sleep well. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 02:26, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- I apologise for last night. I'm really sorry. As I suspected/mentioned in the message, I've no recollection of posting that message either. It was zolpidem lol. I usually keep everything away, then consume ambien, and then get into bed. I remember doing the same last night. Maybe, I couldn't sleep, and ambien made me high, or maybe I slept and woke up after a while. I don't know. I apologise again. I hope you are not mad at me for the message, or for calling you buddy and especially horsey. It is embarrassing.
I will try to make sure I sleep well next time. —usernamekiran (talk) 11:46, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: I've been called worse than "buddy" and "horsey". It's fine. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:08, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- still, i feel weird, guilty, and bad at the same time. I apologise again. :)
btw, do you know about zolpidem/ambien? —usernamekiran (talk) 22:40, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: I do. My parents are both in the medical field, so I have a basic understanding of how it works. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:41, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- hmm. It usually just makes me goofy (more than i am naturally lol). May I ask what field are you in? Not particulars, but just a vague answer would suffice. I have a background of computer science, physics, and electronics. But i have a small software firm. I also have a diploma in business law, and psychiatric medication. And i have a cast knowledge of medical science as well. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:50, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: I work in a supported employment program, helping to add products to their online inventory. All of my co-workers and I have developmental disabilities. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:54, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- May i ask what sort of disability do you have? —usernamekiran (talk) 22:57, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Sure. I'm on the autism spectrum, and have clinical depression. I also have ataxic cerebral palsy mild enough that it doesn't currently affect my life that much.
- Do you have any disabilities? I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 23:00, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- I have Raynaud's phenomenon. Some people, and governments consider it as disability. But as I live in India, it is not much problematic. But still, it is problematic, especially as I use a motorcycle. The vibration, as well as the exposure is the reason. Since last three years, I have been having problems with anxiety and depression. In the beginning, i had major depression, it lasted for like 4-5 months. After that period, the severity of depression has decreased, but it is still there. It is a cycle. Up again - down again. My anxiety is very specific, it is not "GAD" or social anxiety. If off the meds, i am always in "fight or flight situation". Not fun lol. My psychiatrist thinks i can get off the meds soon. I am not so sure about it. Other than that, i have severely disturbed sleep cycle. It messes with everything. Appetite, feeling of wellbeing (opposite of depression), and work among many others.

- My elder sister is a neuro-physician, and currently pursuing a doctorate in neurosciences. I used to read her reference books (of degree) as hobby while I was young. So i am a little aware what you are facing. :) —usernamekiran (talk) 23:18, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran: So a few of our disabilities are sort of related (depression, anxiety, even sleep issues).
I used to read my parents pamphlets and materials, too. The human body is interesting. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 00:37, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- yes, it is. But my study began with psychology. At that time, i found human mind is way more interesting than the body. I had rudementry knowledge of body due to psychiatry. Then i was diagnosed with raynauds. Since the diagnosis, my study if body increased. I didnt know you have anxiety and sleep issues too. And when i called you horsey, it was as in tom-tommy, ron-ronnie thing. Like a nickname. Arnold-arny, robert-robby and so on. —usernamekiran (talk) 00:45, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- btw, did tou hear about that new user right of wikipedia? Anybody with 500 mainspace edits can request for it. That right can shatter another's adminship in thousand pieces. —usernamekiran (talk) 00:48, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: No, I understand why you called me horsey.
- What userright are you talking about? I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:49, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- Few references to that userright can be found here. —usernamekiran (talk) 13:03, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Oh yeah. The page reviewer right. I do believe that people have successfully gotten adminship since it's been enacted.
- At first glance, it appears that you didn't get it. I guess that's one of the risks of being bold. At least you put yourself out there and tried. Maybe in six to twelve+ months, you will have learned enough to get it. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 01:35, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Need help to republish the page that was proposed for deletion
editHi admin,
I have created a page in Wikipedia and was proposed for deletion. I'm the author of the page titled "Ramya Behera". I wanted to publish the page. Please suggest what can be done to publish. 136.181.195.46 (talk) 07:26, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- It appears that article was never created, at least not under that spelling? I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 01:37, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
I am attempting to edit/update the article on Maryland Salem Children's Trust. I am a member of the Board of Directors and we have decided to update since the old page does not represent us accurately and we need everything to read well as we apply for grants to run the program. Everything I added to the page came from our MDSalem.org website or Maryland Salem Children's Trust program manual. Please explain what I am doing wrong. Thanks. LisaLisaSuz (talk) 01:00, 29 March 2017 (UTC) LisaSuz (talk) 01:00, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- @LisaSuz: I suspected you worked for the Maryland Salem Children's Trust, but wasn't absolutely certain. You need to go to your userpage and disclose this, per our guideline on editing articles about a company or person who pays you. I realize you didn't know this policy existed, so understand why you haven't done this yet.
- Given that you work for Maryland Salem Children's Trust, you are considered to have a conflict of interest by the Wikipedian community. The first link in the previous sentence goes to a rather detailed description; the next link goes to a summary that you can read in a hurry.
- It's probably best that you, and anyone else who works for Maryland Salem Children's Trust, go to the talk page and request that an edit be made on your behalf under {{request edit}}. It appears that requests are backlogged, so you may have to wait. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 01:52, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

AWB
editHi,
What exactly is AWB browser? —usernamekiran (talk) 00:15, 31 March 2017 (UTC):@Usernamekiran: It's a semi-automated program where you input a list of articles and it'll see if any of them need to be fixed.
- @Usernamekiran: It's a semi-automated program where you input a list of articles and it'll see if any of them need to be fixed.
- There's a checklist where you can have AWB skip an article automatically. You'll have to check off "skip if minor general fixes only" (or skip it manually if the only thing the article needed changed is that it had a redirected template), "skip if cosmetic changes only", and "skip if whitespace only" if you don't want people to complain that you're filling up their watchlist needlessly (also "skip if no changes made", but for convenience). If you're a non-admin, you'll need to request permission to use it. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 02:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- thanks. Does it also find unconstructive content/poor grammar?
- btw, i just changed my signature. —usernamekiran(talk) 02:37, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: It doesn't (usually) find unconstructive content; that would be your responsibility. There is a checkbox for finding typos, but it isn't at good at finding grammatical errors---still manages to find a few, though.
- You probably wouldn't want to make your username bigger, but it looks nice. :-) -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 02:50, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- hmm.
- I am not sure if you are being sarcastic about the size of my username lol. —usernamekiran(talk) 02:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Oh! I meant font size! I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:16, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- but isnt that discoraged? Wikipedia:Signature tutorial I changed it a little again. —usernamekirantalk 03:10, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Oh! I meant font size! I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:16, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
@Usernamekiran: Having a signature that's been shrunk more than 20% (so a font-size less than 80%) isn't allowed under accessibility standards. If a signature is too big, however, it can make the text go around it a little funny, which can and does annoy other Wikipedians. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:16, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- how is this one?
- and that reminds me, i hope i dont annoy you. Please let me know if i do.
- a male recently accused me of that lol, and you are a lady :-p
- oh, i got my first barnstar!!! —usernamekiran(talk) 03:32, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- You don't annoy me. You do talk to me more than other Wikipedians, but you don't annoy me.
- Congrats on your first barnstar. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:34, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- thanks. Did you see it though?
- i think this is my last signature for today.
- thanks for saying i dont annoy you. Actually, thats why i came back to wiki. We didnt have any fight at all, but my bff suddenly told me "i dont want to talk to you anymore". And she never replied again. —usernamekiran (talk) 03:43, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- Ah, you got a barnstar for helping another. Nice!
- Not sure what to say about your bff. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:48, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
i dont know either. We were friends since jan 2011, and best friends since feb 12. Nevermind.
can i ask you a wiki favour? —usernamekiran (talk) 03:50, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

- Since last few days, i have been trying to improve Parbhani. I think, with a little more work, it will become a "good article". Would you please help me with that?
- PS: pls take a look at my new userboxes ;-) —usernamekiran (talk) 03:55, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Unfortunately, I am not much of a content editor (I haven't even created an article, never mind bought one to GA), so I'm not the person to ask for that.
- Clever placement of your userboxes. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- thanks. Did you read all of them?
can you help with something other? Like, suggestions. Also, i am having a hard time to find sources. Even though it is a prominent city since historical times, it is like that city doesnt exist online. I should sleep now. We can talk tomorrow. :)
whats time there? Its 9:35am here. —usernamekiran (talk) 04:06, 31 March 2017 (UTC) - @Usernamekiran: I skimmed through all of your userboxes.
- We do allow offline sources. You might have to use them
- It's 9:12 PM where I live. Yeah, you should go to sleep. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 04:12, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- thanks. Did you read all of them?
do you have any "callsign" that we can use here on wiki? Like you can use kiran for me :-D In other message in "parbhani" section, i had to use IDH as horsey didnt feel right lol. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:37, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernamekiran: Yeah, I'm often the recipient of the IDoH "callsign", that being my IRC username and all, but I tend not to be motivated to use them myself. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:48, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
