Hensim

Just to let you know, I removed the speedy delete from Hensim to give the editor a chance to get it into shape. The proper db criteria would have been db-spam, not db-nonsense, in any case. If he doesn't get it together, it can always be nominated for deletion another way. Acroterion _(talk) 02:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

On second review of the article I tagged, I'd agree. Thanks for the feedback. I've seen some of my tags removed and have disagreed with it, but not had the benefit of someone that would actually leave a comment explaining why they disagreed with me. In any event, thanks! Douglasmtaylor 02:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not advertising ursession

so put that article back up. It's been on t.v. lately so it's relevent. Zephead999 22:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Just doin' my duty, as they say... :-) See you around, and keep up the good work, too! -- P.B. Pilhet 02:00, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Since you're into RC Patrol, have you ever checked into vandal patrol programs like the one I use, VandalProof? -- P.B. Pilhet 02:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Sadly, I don't have enough mainspace edits yet. I'm getting there, but they say they have a strict requirement of 250 mainspace (I believe) edits before I can get it. I'm using Vandal Fighter and TW for now. Thanks for the kind words. Douglasmtaylor 02:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

No problem!

You're welcome. I was watching on VandalFighter and saw something suspicious. Therefore, I can see any vandalism the second it happens. I'll keep watching your page! JONJONBT talk•homemade userboxes 16:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Doreen Bird Page

I received your message that I removed contributions from Wikipedia. If you review this properly from the original 1 or 2 paragraph article that was listed for Doreen Bird, you will notice that I have not actualy removed anything, rather I have taken what was there and have re-written and enlarged upon it massively.

As a former student and friend of the person to whom this article relates, I have a great deal of personal knowledge about Doreen Bird and whilst I will conceed that I need assistance in linking thigs through and providing reference sources, I am in a position to provide a great deal of detailed and accurate information.

Drew McWeeny

That was in no way vandalism. The article has been and now once again is written using qualifying and biased language, is in no way written in encylopdic form, and includes superfluous information and a trivia section that do not belong on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.101.81.250 (talk • contribs)

Doreen Bird Article

Thanks for responsponding to my questions.

Unfortunately my contribution to the article has actualy been totally removed, despite all my work. I was hoping that some other wikipedia users like yourself would be able to advise me on how to adjust and reference the content, but clearly the addition of new and factual information does not seem to be acceptable!!!

I was very disgusted to find it removed as I have a great deal of personal knowledge as a long standing friend of Doreen Bird and in attemting to update this poor article, I was hoping that I might be providing a reference point for the hundreds of future students at her college that will no longer have the pleasure of knowing her.

Thanks for your advice, will maybe one day try and edit the article again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazy-dancing (talk • contribs)

Doreen Bird (Again)

Thanks for your commments and I appreciate your assistance and it is my intention to make sure that the administrator that removed all my edits is fully aware that they have actually replaced my edits with incorrect information that is also not correctly referenced.

With regards to referencing, how can I be expected to reference information that is my personal knowledge as an ex student of Doreen Bird and a teacher at the said college? A great deal of my information is not written down and this is why I am adding it here, so that it is not forgotten.

For example, the original article that exists from before I made edits to it refers to the college opening date as 1949, which is wrong. The school opened in 1945 and the full time training college in 1951, with the colleges 60th anniversary gala, which I was involved in producing, being staged at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford in June 2005!!!

Not meaning to sound like I'm attacking you, which is not whjat I am doing, it is vital that the administrator who has removed my edits, realises that I am in fact right and am quite literally THE REFERENCE, me, myself. Will remember thought to follow ur recommendations in future, but dont know how to do the signature thing!

Peaaceful evening eh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazy-dancing (talk • contribs)

Doreen Bird

Thanks again, will re-instate my last edit with at least once major reference that is suitable. I am hoping that IF it stays this time, that you will have a look over it and drop me a line to give me a push in the right direction, but in the meantime will work on it and use your advice to try and tweak it myself.

btw, it was the guy with the clown picture that rolled back all my edits, am not bitter knowing that I can restore it, but hope he gives me a chnce to work on it this time and realise that I am still learning. Crazy-dancing 22:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Shadowbot3

Just follow the instructions here to have your talk page automatically archived (I know it says Werdnabot instead of Shadowbot3, but Werdnabot is offline right now, so Shadowbot3 has taken up the job using the same code). Happy editing! -- P.B. Pilhet 23:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

The revert

Thank you for it. :) Acalamari 01:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage, too. I'm currently watching his contributions until he is finally blocked. C. Foultz 02:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

My pleasure! Keep up the good work. Douglasmtaylor 03:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

User Page Vandalism

Recently you made a rollback on User_talk:Jonjonbt the [diff is here]. I'm not sure what vandalism there was it, just seemed like a slightly strange but constructive question. What was your reasoning in making the change? Mike33 01:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow. Itchy trigger finger. I remember making the revert, but I remember seeing that someone had changed someone else's signature. I could swear I did. Regardless, I rolled back my own revert. Douglasmtaylor 01:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol ok thanks for the explaination. Yep, we might have lightening fingers, but it doesn't stop us cursing, when we realise we shouldn't have done it! (My error log is a mile long most days!!) kind regards, Mike33 03:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank You

Regarding your work on the Doreen Bird article, thanks for your superb work. You've really made it work in a way that I could have struggled over for ages and still not achieved.

I am currently speaking to other friends and and acquaintances of Miss Bird to find out if there is any reference material available relating directly to her early life etc. as you suggest, as my own knowledge is very sketchy prior to the 'college years'. Your other comments and suggestions have been noted and will have a look to see if there's anything specific that can be done to improve the article further.

By the way, just so you know, the purpose of the title Miss is used in this case to reference towards her being a dance teacher. It's a simple etiquette that regarless of status, all female dance teachers are traditionally referred to as Miss, something which I just do without thinking. She will always be Miss Bird to everyone who knew her.

Is great that you had a look for some background on Bird College and following your previous suggestion, I have as you might have noticed, added a new article on the subject. This will now be my primary concern to get right.

Again, thank you so much, is good to know that people out there are willing to give up their own time to help, even though it's not your subject of choice. I look forward to being able to refer to you for help in the future if you are happy to do that.

And finally, at least I've learnt SOMETHING, my signature Crazy-dancing 03:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm happy to help. I was dismayed to see that you were getting discouraged and I'm enamored by the tribute that you want to pay to your mentor. Regarding the 'miss' question, that was what I assumed. But, remember, writing from a 'familiar' voice really isn't what to do here. In any event, good luck on your research. Given the amount of information there is about the school. . .is there maybe a library at the school? I'm sure Bird would have been interviewed in trade publications, or something, in her lifetime. Douglasmtaylor 03:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the repair

I was at a conference and didn't know it had happened. I'm particular amused to be called a papist-shooting sectarian, since while I am in fact a Protestant of Irish ancestry, I support a free, united, 32-county Ireland, with no English presence save as friendly neighbors and visitors (like many Protestants have sought since the days of Wolfe Tone). --Orange Mike 21:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

My pleasure! There's a typo on your user page as well that I was tempted to fix. Look for "2004)". Douglasmtaylor 15:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. (You would have been welcome to fix it yourself.) --Orange Mike 19:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Danke

Thank you for the revert to my userpage. Would have posted this slightly earlier, but I had to revert yours, too. :) --健次(derumi)^talk 06:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

No problem :-) -- P.B. Pilhet 16:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

I know you don't want a flashy userpage; but if you ever want a cool one, just hit me up, yo. I could do something for you like I did for user:Tewfik or My Userpage. †Ðanieltiger45† ^{Talk to me}as 20:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Doreen Bird

Thanks for your kind comment, was much appreciated and again, thanks for giving me a headstart in the first place. Have raided the college library for some more reference material and come up with a few useful facts and figures and also had some great articles from the local newspaper for that area. Once you had given me some bare-bones I got the hang of how the article should look and sound, but know I've a lot to learn. Am still working on the Bird College article, so your comments and help would be much welcome. Hope to hear from you again soon! Crazy-dancing 01:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

And by the way, just an addition to the above, have added an external link to the Doreen Bird page, which is a direct source for the information relating to Doreens career with the ISTD. I think this means that the 'needs citation' tags can be removed, but don't know how to mark it up properly and refer people to that link in the text. Can you have a look and tweak if possible. Thanks! Crazy-dancing 01:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, AND ANOTHER THING. I'm guessing your American, from that place where they speak 'funny English' ;D Only say that cause I noticed in the history of Doreen Bird that you have corrected typos. Not to beef or say that Americans are wrong, but I was writing the article in standard BBritish English and you've changed some of the words to funny American Spellings. I know I did make a few dodgy typos without realising though! Can I revert these odd bits back to British spellings as only British people are likely to take an interest. Thanks my friend Crazy-dancing 02:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

LOL! Thank you. I was thinking of leaving you a similar message. We did overlap at one point and I removed my warnings as a result. See: User talk:121.72.78.148. Douglasmtaylor 04:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

• P.S. Thanks for my first barnstar! Douglasmtaylor 04:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, you just start to ignore that after a while. When two Twinkle users both start to revert a page at the same time, the script won't recognize that there's a second revert taking place. It results in double messages on the talk page. I figure the vandal gets the idea. Trusilver 04:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again. And, on inspecting your user page, I just joined the League of Copyeditors. Great project. Douglasmtaylor 04:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

I'll start on your userpage today. You've seen my userpage obviously, but this is one I made for someone else. User:Tewfik. I'll just start you off with a color scheme. The boxes worked well for him because of the amount of stuff of different sizes he wanted to display, though I don't think I'll use them here. I'll probably end up doing yours in blue and green; as I don't see many pages like that. Cheers, †Ðanieltiger45† ^{Talk to me}as 14:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey, your Userpage is basically finished. If you find a banner you like for your Licensing, I'll plug that in for you later today. In the meantime, enjoy your userpage, look for the banner, and go to the Wikipedia commons and take a good long lookat that userpage barnstar and think who you could possible give it to. Cheers, †Ðanieltiger45† ^{Talk to me}as 16:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow! Great work. Thank you very much. I'm at work at the moment, but I'll definitely check those barnstars out later!  :) Douglasmtaylor 18:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to address such situations with me personally when you encounter them next time. I would appreciate the effort.--Atlan (talk) 23:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree with that statement; it would have been better to contact him first instead of me. However, I suggest you come to my talk page to read Atlan's explanation. Acalamari 23:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

The yes guy - followup

The author of The yes guy, who is The Yes Guy (talk · contribs), is contesting deletion. I wrote him a message explaining about WP:BIO and WP:V, and asking him to blank his own article to avoid embarrassment. Now we have jack spit (talk · contribs) (new user, no edits, no talk page, no user page, possible sockpuppet) opposing deletion. Is there some way to resolve this without invoking the heavy machinery of an AfD and a sockpuppet check? --John Nagle 01:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

dude, we don't hang here. We don't know the codes, or care to know them. we are merely clearing and cleaning anything associated with our clients.

If you want to help with figuring out how to login to the divadome account, fine, but we have not used it for a long time. we are not "vandalizing" anything, obviously. There is not content on these pages anyway!

I told you we don't even know what email was used, that is why we refer to that page.

There was OLD info of no content on the page, and we are simply clearing it.

There is NO reason for you to even care. None.

It will be cleared.

To contact me, email me from the contact page from www.samharris.com (you will get a reply from a divadome address)

I have wasted enough time talking to you.

I will alert all staff to simply edit it from any system until it's cleared.

Sorry, there will be no more replies.

		For your outstanding work on copyediting, typo fixing and clean ups, especially the copyedit you did to the coin collecting article. I saw it some time ago and found it in dire need of help too. Cheers, Chris.B 11:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem, keep up the good work. Chris.B 12:49, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Adraktas. I noticed your edits to Georgios Michael. Please note that this is a an article, not a user's talk page. The article main space is not the place to communicate with other editors. Into The Fray T/C 09:12, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I thought I placed my note in his Talk page. Sorry! Constantine Adraktas 10:00, 5 August 2007 (UTC) Glad to see you have edited over 2000 articles. Is there a site in WIKIPEDIA that gives the score of the articles edited by its editors ? Constantine Adraktas 15:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC) Constantine Adraktas 15:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

There is no 'scoring' system that I'm aware of, unless you mean a ranking by edit count. As in, who has the most edits? That I don't know the answer to. Certainly, 2,500 is not a large number of edits by any estimation. DerHexer, just for example, has over 25,000 [1] edits to the English Wikipedia and (holy cow) almost 35,000 to the German Wikipedia [2]. Into The Fray ^T/C 15:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! BtW, it's Yksin not Yskin (k before rather than after s), & I'm female. ;) --Yksin 17:49, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem, it's happened before. It was heavily ironic in context, though, because Custerwest has repeatedly called me "Yskin" despite me telling him it's "Yksin" at least two or three times, & he also initially missed my gender. --Yksin 18:00, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar! A great way to start the day. --Yksin 16:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Unconstructive edits

This is a university IP address. There are lots of people using it. Never changed "Case Closed". --149.68.79.100 21:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
