Autoroute

Hi, Mr. Z-man. I'm back. I've posted my initial arguments on Talk:Autoroute. Joeldl 09:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Are you ready to resume the mediation? Joeldl 03:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Mr.Z-man. Thank you very much for your help with Autoroute. You did a great job. I guess I didn't have the imagination to think that we could just get rid of the definition, etc., altogether. Joeldl 05:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The Catnip Peddlers Album Art:

Since the article is highly likely to be deleted, is there really a point in replacing the album art for that band? If so how small does the image need to be? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emevas (talk • contribs) 14:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

Alright, so as expected, the article got deleted, since it is a copyrighted image, and the article isn't likley to be resubmited, Is there any way I can speed up the deletion of the image? --Emevas 01:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks, It may or may not work. But thanks for that information.

Edit wAr

About the edit war on PCD (album) - do you think it's time to unprotect the pages? Discussion seems to have halted, and I'm a little uncomfortable leaving things locked for the full two months if the problem has blown over. Adam Cuerden ^talk 14:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Port cities in the Middle East

Hi. Thank for creating this category. I agree that Category:Port cities is overcrowd. However it will be better to categorize it by country and above this by region or Continent. Also the concept of Middle East is not defined well. For example Pakistan, as i know, is not part of this region. --Shmuliko 11:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Please adopt me :-)

Hi I'm XVreturns and i used to be a vandal but I want to make up for those times by fighting vandals. can you please adopt me? I'd be thrilled.:-) XVreturns 20:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thank you so much! This means a lot! XVreturns 20:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Skapsis

Hi. You commented that you thought this article was salvageable -- so can you help salvage it? I'm having a hard time finding anything that meets WP:OR and WP:V but maybe you can come up with something I couldn't find. I have added additional comments on the AfD page about looking for reliable sources.

If you can spare the time, I'd appreciate any help you can give us with this. Thanks, --A. B. ^(talk) 13:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for double-checking my work -- this one had me stumped. --A. B. ^(talk) 19:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

XVreturns

I would like to know if there is an easier way to spot vandals than looking at every page top to bottom. User:XVreturns|Talk thank you for the info! XVreturns 00:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• can you tell me about WikiDefCon and how it works?

• Is their a way to recover deleted pages?XVreturns 23:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• How many times does a user have to make vandalism before they are blocked? How can I block them? XVreturns 00:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• I've encountered a strange problem:I've used one computer to get to wikipedia today and have found that it is in a smaller font than usual. I'm not sure if it is just my computer or it's the site. I'd like to know if the same has happened to you before contacting the foundation.

Thank you, I've fixed the problem. I wonder why I didn't think of that? XVreturns 19:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

• WikidefCons down to 5, I guess we can relax a little. XVreturns 23:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

thank you so much for warning the IPvandal that attacked my page. I am against cursing in almost every way and I must thank you again. XVreturns 21:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Just wondering how you can customize your signature, like changing the font color. XVreturns 17:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! heres my new signature: XVRETURNS 20:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC) (P.S. tell me if you can't see it.)

• Just wondering how you can get text to be on the side of a teplate such as WikiDefCon. I've been trying to but it hasn't been working out. Can you tell me how? XVRETURNS 19:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I mean how do you put text next to a table, like on your userpage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by XVreturns (talk • contribs) 20:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Thanks, I wondered how that was done. XVRETURNS 21:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates on the subject I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 20:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Ref desk:Time

Sorry about that, but in my time zone it's not April 1st yet. My first reaction was "depends on what time zone" and my second was "don't feed the trolls". - AMP'd 02:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

example code

I hacked togerther a rough example of how to do what I suggested at User:CMummert/Sandbox.

But the more I think of it, I think that the following syntax might be better:

{{article issues|npov=y|npovdate=March 2006|cleanup=y|wikify=y|wikifydate=January 2006}}

That makes a clean separation between turning a issue on versus adding its date, and it would allow the automated tagging bots to add date parameters without having to edit what is already there, which might be easier for the bots to do. CMummert · talk 13:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for reverting vandalism to my user page. —dgies^t_c 18:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

FAC

Regarding your note at Raul's page,[1] usually "no news is good news" at FAC. People object quickly to the troubled articles, but wait to see if anyone finds anything wrong on the articles that look solid. It looks good on first pass. I left you two notes in edit summary of work needed. See WP:DASH on the difference between hyphens, endash and emdash, and solo years shouldn't be linked per WP:MOSNUM. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Nice work

Wow! You beat me to both tagging Mohammad Ryan Abumehdi under db-bio and notifying the user. You're quick. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 21:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Trevor Loflin

Please note that the section of SAT to which the page on Trevor Loflin was merged has been deleted, and for good reason; the information on Trevor Loflin was entirely inappropriate in that article. I have nominated the article on Mr. Loflin for deletion a second time. Based on your participation either in the article on Trevor Loflin or in the previous afd, you may wish to participate in the article's present deletion discussion. Thanks.

Articleissues template

I've now put the template in mainspace for trial, but now only have done for one article, parapsychology, I've posted it on village pump here. When it starts to be used more we'll see what happens. Thank you for designing it! Wooyi^{Talk, Editor review} 22:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm not yet, since I don't do bots. So should we wait until the bots are done? Wooyi^{Talk, Editor review} 23:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay I won't mass-implement it yet. Possibly I'll also ask User:Gracenotes to look at it, he's an expert on template (and I believe you are as well :) ). Cheers! Wooyi^{Talk, Editor review} 23:21, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Your message 7 April

Thanks for the explanation re action, but I'm left wondering just how bad personal abuse has to be for someone to be blocked without any warnings. My observation as a relative newcomer to Wikipedia is that while the level 1, 2, 3 etc vandalism warning system is right for silly mucking up of articles by vandals for entertainment, the replacing of someone's user page with abuse in response to a warning, is in a different category which requires different actions. In the bricks-and-mortar world of say, a school environment, this is something which would be instinctively understood. Regards, Rexparry sydney 01:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC) (PS no reply expected)

Adopt-A-User program

Hello! I saw that you are available for an adoptee and wondered if you would consider me for one of your open slots. I haven't been here very long, but for the most part I have been cleaning up vandalism using Lupin's Anti-Vandal Tool. I have recently become interested in stub-sorting and categorizing as well. I would like to venture into more involved article-editing, but I would like to get a better handle on Wikipedia's policies first. I am in general a very considerate editor and a stickler for spelling and grammar. Wikipedia makes my head want to explode sometimes, so I would just like to have someone I can ask all the random questions I come up with! :) Thanks! Literacola 02:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Blood purity

Wow, I wish that template was functional. I just removed removed them because they're basically clutter on the article, and on the talk page, they put it in weird categories for a talk page, so I linked them. As long as there is a template directing users to the talk page, I don't think we need more than one template on the article. I suppose I do have a vested interest, I'm a member of Wikipoject Harry Potter. John Reaves (talk) 04:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Template:WPSchoolsAssessment

There are a lot of other infoboxes and there has been some discussion about trying to merge a bunch of them. From our perspective, as long as it is a school infobox (Rather than a company) it's not something the assessment group deals with. There is a category of them at Category:Education_infobox_templates and there has been some discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Schools/Archive_3#Infobox_template_proliferation there's no consensus as of yet.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but JudyWoodWhiteHat.jpg, seems pretty clearly to be taken from this Clemson University page. I'm not sure how it depicts a "non-reproducible historic event", it's a simple image found on the web. Pete.Hurd 03:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
