Welcome

Hey!!

Your edits to Argentina are very good! I have a favor to ask. Would you mind making all the saves together? what happens is that you already saved around 100 times, and it is very difficult for us to follow and read what you changed. Just click "Show Preview" to see if you like the result and then "save" when you're ready. That way you'll make it easy for us to read your changes and you won't "clog" the history page!

Thanks, and gracias por editar!!!

PD: Check out these pages. WP:ARG and WP:ARNB~~

Thank You

I have no idea if you will read this, or where should I have gone to reply back.

I am now working to not breach etiquette any further and apologize for the severe inconvenience caused. I do not know how to create the 'signature' at the end of these comment paragraphs (with your name and date), as you have above. If you could explain how I do this it would be highly appreciated.

Use four tildes (~~~~). When you save the page, they'll be converted to username+date (those I just used were not because I used a special tag -- check the code for this page and you'll get the idea. Most people prefer replies to be posted at their own talk pages, but it's fine; Sebastian is probably watching this page.

The main reason to avoid multiple edits is that, in the middle, some vandal may have changed something elsewhere. Then you edit again, and all we see is your last edit. Vandals sometimes use this technique to hide small changes.

Don't feel intimidated by Wikipedia. When in doubt, just ask. Once you're sure, you won't need to. You don't need approval or consent from the administrators to change a page; and all editors, not only administrators, and including you, have the right to correct others. Administrators are not in charge of pages; everybody must watch for and take care of them. Have a happy wiki'ing! —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 17:15, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Note

"Sebastian" is watching this indeed! :) Sebastian Kessel ^Talk 00:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

I awarded you this in recognition of your fine work so far. Keep it up! --Guinnog 23:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Martín Fierro + Facundo

Regarding that, I actually didn't like trimming the paragraph, but I felt it was too detailed for the main article. Argentine literature, on the other hand, could use an expansion of it, but remember you need to reference published works or the like. Good-quality websites and online PDFs are as good as books and essays only available in paper. You already know how to phrase things and cite their sources, which is amazing for a starting editor; the Barnstar you earned is well-deserved. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 15:11, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Argentina in es:

I suggest you post a notice/request at WP:ARNB so everybody knows what you're trying to do. In the meantime, you can translate by bits. Getting lots of content from one article into another without duplicating content or otherwise messing it up is rather difficult, so be careful. As for the pictures, you have to check where they're hosted at. There are two cases:

• If the picture is hosted in the Spanish Wikipedia, rules may be different from those in the English Wikipedia. In most cases this is not a problem, but it means you'll have to (manually) download the picture from es:, and upload it again for use in en:. If you need to do that, check the Commons.
• If the picture is being used in es: but is actually hosted at the Commons, then you're free to use it anywhere. This is probably the case with most pictures.

The Wikimedia Commons are a repository of freely available material. It's huge and a very good idea, but you have to have an independent account there and learn a set of rules that not exactly like those of Wikipedia. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 20:54, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Hola

Hola. Perdoná la bienvenida atrasada pero ultimamente no tuve mucho tiempo para la Enciclopedia Gratis, espero que nos ayudes a mejorar los artículos relacionados con el País. Saludos —Argentino (talk/cont.) 00:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Same here, keep up the good work! =) You're welcome to join our WikiProject. Cheers, —Aucun effort n'est trop grand 05:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Fouled up editing in Argentina article

Someone has messed up editing at the Argentina article.

Who does the 'restore' to a the last previous correct version? Thank you. The dugout 18:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for taking so long. Apparently a British wikipedian living in London, 86.131.102.8 (talk • contribs), vandalised the article Argentina on 17:50, September 22. [1] Commonly, counter-vandalism bots patrol all articles and revert on sight this kind of edits, but if this does not occur you can restore the page clicking on the 'history' button on the top. Just select the revision ID (e.g. 17:16, 22 September 2006), edit the page, and then save it; the article will be automatically reverted to the chosen date. Hope this helps, —Aucun effort n'est trop grand 04:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Uganda!

I deleted Ugandan rock on the valid grounds that the artilce content bore no relation to the title. On examination I realise that the text was not a copy of Argentine rock. I would be prepared to restore the text if you explain what is going on and give me a source for the text. -- RHaworth 22:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edits made during September 29 2006 (UTC) to Argentine rock

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Ryūlóng 06:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

That's okay, and I believe you are talking about <references/>. Ryūlóng 06:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary

please leave edit summaries, if I hadn't Popups I would have had to loos 15 minutes checking. (YOu edited like a fifth of my watchlist) —Argentino (talk/cont.) 23:42, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Impersonator

You've got a secret admirer: User:The dougout! —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 04:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I wasn't clear; I was just joking. The user in question is the one who's been vandalizing the Néstor Kirchner article under a number of identities. One of his tactics appears to be using names similar to those of previous editors of the article. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 01:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Rock argentino

Estimado The dugout (je): Los comentarios críticos que relicé en w:es:Rock de Argentina en modo alguno estaban dirigidos hacia tí, sino hacia el w:es:Usuario:Eltitoskate que había tenido una actitud completamente contraria a dialogar y consensuar textos, borrando sin más nueva información con fuentes agregada a este artículo (aunque creo que ahora ha cambiado). Como el propio Eltitoskate, ha dicho correctamente, con el fin de retrucarme, tu artículo en realidad es muy bueno, y largamente mejor que otros equivalentes. Y en eso no puedo sino darle la razón. Lo que pusiste es mucho más que un grano: a mi me parece más una verdadera toronja, o una bola de nieve y debés estar orgulloso del mismo, ciertamente. Me gustaría mucho poder trabajar juntos, tanto en esta Wikipedia como en la inglesa. Si quieres ver los trabajos que estoy haciendo podés ver w:es:Orígenes del rock argentino, w:es:Soda Stereo (que estoy preparando para destacado), w:es:Muchacha (Ojos de papel), w:es:Mañana campestre, w:es:La balsa, w:es:En la ciudad de la furia, w:es:De música ligera, w:es:Ella usó mi cabeza como un revólver, w:es:Cuando pase el temblor, etc. Te mando un abrazo, --Roblespepe (talk) 20:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
