need a little advice

Hi Kukini,

I've been working on the article the Pennsylvania Railroad. This was a delisted good article. I renominated it after helping to copy edit it. If you have a second to look at it, I'd like your advice. Thanks Shinerunner 01:25, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I went back a cleaned up the links as you suggested. Shinerunner 15:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I have been trying to add a environmental organization to the following page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_organization and then create a page on the organization that exaplains its history, mission....etc. All my info got deleted! I do not understand why since there are not copyright issues and the organization fits exactly the requirements... Please could help me to add it?

This IP, registered to the University of Phoenix, has just been used once again to vandalize the University of Phoenix article in a pro-UofP manner. I just reverted, and slapped a warning on 'em. --Orange Mike 14:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi you left a message at the Schools Portal... are you still interested? Victuallers 16:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey thanks for that message, it's really nice of you and i'd have never epected to hear from anyone else on Wikipedia, even if i am a bit new. I'm not sure if you'll even get this message because i'm not used to this type of chat, you understand me? Cool, well thanks again!

User:ChibiMrBubbles

Hello,

I am having problems with a user who is reverting my comments on his user talk page. I am trying to leave feedback on his editing work on other articles, and he labels me a vandal and a troll while reverting my edits to his talk page. He is being quite uncivil and I wanted to know what I should do now, or if you could help me. Thanks for your time. Coreycubed 22:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

User talk:SuppaIke

I'm not sure what happened but your edit at User talk:SuppaIke rewrote my warning, and then you gave him a second warning. Why the rewrite and why 2 warnings? He's only made one edit. -WarthogDemon 01:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, found his edit. Sorry for the confusion and I warned him on that just now. I'm still a bit confused as to why you reworded my warning however. -WarthogDemon 01:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I see now. :) And thanks for stepping in with User:Overrural. I was able to keep up with his vandalism, but I dunno how long I would've been able to keep it up. :P Crazy... -WarthogDemon 03:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Added After Save: See What I Mean?

Would it be the sincerest form of flattery if I mimicked/borrowed/stole the gist of the formatting/links/layout of your userpage? I'm not talking content so much as functionality -- I could use the links you've so neatly placed before yourself on your page, and the personal sandbox area is great (maybe it'll cut down on my repetitve...repetitive...repeated edits of the same article?) - Ageekgal 09:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, nice to see you I am not very new to Wikipedia (about a year anonymously, few months as INULL) but thanks for your welcome. I will be sure to ask you if I need anything. I'd like to know how you came about finding my name though. I'm also wondering about something.. I seem to remember articles not supposing to be a how-to guide but I've come across a few how-to articles and wondered how I should tag them or if I even should.

Thanks ^_^ INULL 06:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

recent blocking of a school

I saw that yesterday (the 4th) you blocked an IP used by a school (User_talk:199.72.115.66) but today (the 5th) they made an edit on the OS page, which I reverted. Maybe I'm confused about timezones :-) Muchas gracias, Pete St.John 16:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

thanks for quick response at my talk. To me 3 hours is nothing, but Wiki is a very liberal, generous place. Thanks for extending the block. Maybe order of magnitude each time, 3 hours, one day, one month, etc. Anyway thanks. Hasta pronto (por supuesto!) Pete St.John 17:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Snaps

I'm not posting inaccurate information about the game of snaps. I'm simply removing information that is over-revealing as I indicated in my description. The purpose of playing snaps is for new "players" to analytically figure out how the game is played. The reward is this itself, not playing it. A simple analogy would be pitting an expert tic-tac-toe player against a novice. If you explain to the novice that this a game that can never be won when 2 skilled players compete, it renders the game meaningless and thus there is no point in playing the game at all. The fun is derived from the novice learning that tic-tac-toe is an unwinable game. This is the reason I wish to remove those paragraphs from the description of Snaps. If you cannot do so, please explain to me why this is inappropriate.

Thank you, Dan Scholten —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sealpointman (talkcontribs) 06:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Is there a way to get a consensus of people to have this information removed? Who would have to "vote" on this? Thanks,

Dan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sealpointman (talkcontribs) 06:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

After reviewing the intro, I posted my concerns on a newly created talk page for the Snaps game. Is this all I can do to express my opinion on my proposed changes to the page?

Thanks, Dan Sealpointman 06:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


Thanks. It was not my intention to vandalize the page, but to fix it as I saw fit. I'm a long time consumer but a first time contributer. I will review the link you sent me and take appropriate action. Thank you for your patience.

Snaps (game) (3rd AFD Nomination)

Hello!

I am contacting all registered wikipedia editors and admins that have contributed to the Snaps (game) article to let them know the page is now being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

If you wish, please share your thoughts at this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page. I look forward to any comments or thoughts you have on this manner! --Brian(view my history)/(How am I doing?) 06:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Please delete the pictures that I have been editing.

I wanted to remove those tags from the pictures that I have uploaded and edited on Wikipedia because I've uploaded them on the Commons. They don't need to be on Wikipedia anymore. I think they meet all of the criteria for deletion. If they don't let me know. Wikiman86 15:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hiya dude, thanks so much for putting an edit count on my talk. It's gonna be really helpful isn't it?Sergiogr 18:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the Suggestion

Thanks for the suggestion of using Christian_terrorism as a topic in my class. I actually was looking for something that is less obviously controversial to "normal" people, so I went the heated argument about the size of the 2nd Death Star that I found on the Lamest Edit War Page. I'll still use your idea, though. I'll mention Christian Terrorism as we get into "real" arguments and how Wikipedia adresses them. Thanks for your help!

What makes the "Islam adversary" section reasonably cited?

Edit summary field

Is it possible to go back and change the edit summary field? Inoesomestuff 21:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Small Question.

I recently got on Wikipedia from my School's computer. I found a link at the top of the page about Vandalism that I was doing to Wikipedia, and that I would be blocked from it. At our school, we each have individual ID numbers for the computers, and I find it un-likly someone could have stolen mine. I was curious to find out if it could possibly just be from the school's IP address.

I apologize for any inconvience, -Kai. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.220.86.34 (talk) 12:59, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

That is really weird that that happened.

Dispute Resolution

Hello Kukini! I need your assistence or another neutral administrator, concerning a editor who seems to not want to take the time to look over the sources I cite, but to argue with me and only bring up his sources as the only valid ones. Please look over the convo so far, you can come to your own conclusion, as my aim is not to sway you, but I really need someone to mediate between me and a few other editors who seem to be following me, and I guess you could say "ganging" up on me. Here is the article talk page [1].

If you have any further questions please ask, thank you in advance!--Moosh88 21:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Tallahassee

Hello Kukini. I note that you just removed "Barley Thar" from the Tallahassee Notable Groups section, where I had added it, stating "redlinked "notable"". Please, I don't know what that means. Are you saying that the group should not be on the list because they have no individual Wikpedia listing? If so, that logic should lead to many changes of all sorts, I would think, and perhaps to many meaningless Wikipedia entries. Please let me know if there is a policy of some sort on this. Martha F.

Newbie 86.92.134.171 (Brian K West) gone wild

I just reviewed the Talk:FreeSWITCH reverted edits by this new user and wanted to provide you some background. This user started with a user id of User:briankwest, who is the website administrator for the open source project FreeSWITCH (Brian K West). He subsequently only uses an ip address and as you have noted, does not sign his comments. He has a definite conflict of interest in his edits and has been outright hostile to any suggestions to change this article about his project, suggesting that criticism mean bias. He, on the other hand, does not acknowledge his association with the project. (Review the original talk that he removed as well as comments left on my talk page User talk:Calltech#FreeSWITCH advert tagging.) I stopped posting on this talk page after his abusive comments and feel he needs some form of administrative warning. I have posted spam warnings on this article in the past, which he simply removes. The article should also be tagged with a COI warning, because this individual is the major contributor to its content. Thanks! Calltech 16:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I have subsequently posted an entry at WT:WPSPAM#Newbie briankwest (aka 86.92.134.171) gone wild with the same content as here. Several users have responded and now tagged the article as spam or recommended reducing it to a stub until reliable third parties are found to expand the article.

Modest boost in assessed articles during September

WikiProject Oklahoma's massive list of unassessed articles got smaller over the month of September, as 45 articles were assessed by bots and editors. Assessments made on August 31 bring the total to 62 assessed articles over the 31-day period. On September 15, BetacommandBot assessed 40 articles from no-class to stub and start class. This bot automatically updates the talk pages of articles included in more than one WikiProject if at least one WikiProject has already assessed the material, bringing each interested WikiProject's ratings into compliance with the assessment. No B-class or higher quality assessments were given out over September, and only a small handful of importance assessments were granted. On August 31, one Low, Mid, and High importance rating was given to three separate articles. Leroy McGuirk was given the lone high-importance rating.

Oklahoma categories receive help from Texan

TexasAndroid, an administrator, assisted WikiProject Oklahoma by categorizing nearly 100 Oklahoma-related pages on September 24. The additions were made mainly to Tulsa-related pages. "I've done the major cities in Texas in the past, and was thinking about what to do next, and decided to stay relatively close to home for now. Thus OK's big cities got done," TexasAndroid wrote on his user page.

 

Meet WikiProject Oklahoma's "sub-project"

Taskforce Tulsa, a collaboration of editors operating under WikiProject Oklahoma, has been created to increase the scope of Wikipedia's coverage of Tulsa and its surrounding areas. Taskforce Tulsa is many things, but most importantly, it is a way for editors to have a place to put Tulsa-related requests (pictures, article, expansion, collaboration) for other editors interested in Tulsa. News, guidelines, and category trees related to Tulsa articles can easily be accessed and added through the task force's project page. The taskforce is not its own WikiProject. Instead, it works in conjunction with WikiProject Oklahoma to increase the quality and scope of Tulsa-related material. Because of the increased clutter and unnecessary waste of space that would be created with a new WikiProject, editors have opted for a taskforce, or workgroup project. Rather than having a Wikiproject Oklahoma banner as well as a Wikiproject Tulsa banner on most Tulsa-related pages, editors can simply add the Tulsa Taskforce note onto the existing Wikiproject Oklahoma banner. Cleaner, clearer, and more efficient. In edit mode, such a banner would appear as this: "{{WikiProject Oklahoma|class=FA|importance=Top|tulsa-task-force=yes}}". In other words, simply adding "tulsa-task-force=yes}}" to the existing Wikiproject Oklahoma banner on an article's talk page would include that article into the Tulsa Task Force. According to an explanation on the taskforce's project page, "The Tulsa Task Force is a 'sub-wikiproject' operating 'beneath' Wikiproject Oklahoma, and is designed to assist it by focusing specifically on Tulsa-related material. Editors who are interested in expanding knowledge of Tulsa on Wikipedia may wish to consider themselves part of Taskforce Tulsa as well as Wikiproject Oklahoma." Interested parties can sign up much like a stand-alone WikiProject.

School IP Addresses

Kukini, a quick question for you, seeing as we spoke briefly about school IP blocks before - our school has a dynamic IP that changes every few months, and I've found a couple of user talk pages all linked to our school with notes on vandalism (back to 2006). I intend to remove the notice that the IP is attached to our school (since it no longer is) when I get confirmation from school administration - but what should happen to our list of vandalism warnings, seeing as the IP is no longer used by us? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexlmuller (talkcontribs) 16:42, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
