WikiProject MalwareThank You for your interest in WikiProject Malware. I welcome any help you can provide. The project is not quite dead, but its responsibilities have more or less been absorbed by the WikiProject Computing/Computer and Information Security task force . We could use your help on both projects. Feel free to contact me if you would like to work on anything in particular. Sephiroth storm (talk) 12:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC) I only joined a month before you did, and it was pretty dead then too. Only about 20 articles were actually assigned to the wikiproject: I manually did the 200 others we have now. I'm not good in writing articles, I'm more of a typo-fixer (a WikiGnome). I'm happy to assist you whenever you need help, but I'm not the best choice to be a mentor though. --DanielPharos (talk) 15:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Redundant imagesWhen you encounter a redundant image such as File:MSMAL.gif, please do not tag it for speedy deletion with {{db-redundantimage}}. That tag only applies when the two images are in the same file format (both JPG or both PNG, for example). If it is already tagged as an orphan, it will be deleted in a week or so. If it isn't tagged as a orphan, you can tag it with {{Subst:Orfud}}, which turns into {{Di-orphaned fair use}} with a date. If you are the uploader, you can tag the image with {{db-g7}} "The author of the only substantial content has requested deletion in good faith" -- Eastmain (talk) 01:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
New image projectHi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
RollbackAfter reviewing your contributions and your reasoning, I've accepted your request. I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, ie its intended usage of reverting vandalism only. For information on rollback see: Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback in the future, just let me or any admin know. Cheers.

Page blanked by authorHi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism and needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as with Gbf golf ball finder just now. In those cases the best thing is to tag it {{db-author}}. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if his page is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:51, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I may use it in the near future.Jasonbholden (talk) 22:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC) Thanks a lot.I saw my own userpage on HG but you beat me to reverting the vandalism. Thanks for your help.

HELP!!?!?!!I deleted the content not out of vandalism but because I thought the page was going to be deleted. I was trying to move the page "Nerd Pride Day" to "Geek Pride Day" but it said that that page already existed. This move must be done because that is the proper usage in English. While the original holiday might be literally translated as "Nerd", it is know as, and mainly referred to as "Geek Pride Day" in the English speaking world. In western culture, nerds are usually coined by others derogatively, and geeks are coined personally as a title. Please help me make this move. TekBoi [Ali Kilinc] (talk) 20:01, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

You recently replaced the old hard-coded infobox with a proper infobox template (which is great, thanks for doing that). My question is: there was recently a discussion at the talk page about using "Pop. density" instead of "Density", as Europe has it. Is there a way to do that with Template:Infobox Continent? I had a quick peak, but couldn't see if it was possible (but I'm by no means an infobox guru...) Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 17:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

My space versus "live"Hi Blurpeace, thanks for your offer to adopt.... Clearly Wikipedia has its own "rules and tools" and I'm trying to learn them as quickly as possible. One thing however, seems pretty vague and that's the "subpage" (test) experience versus moving an article to "live" status. The help directions are a little sketchy on this. I'm actually starting a NEW article and would like to make sure I do it right (referencing all supporting sources, etc.) before publishing. Thanks! 20:21, 21 May 2009 (UTC) H
RollbackI saw you rolled back a couple of edits: maybe I should have rolled back List of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's characters instead of placing the tag there--but that whole article and its history are so messy that I couldn't separate the wheat from the chaff. That IP currently "editing" it, well, word's [sic] fail me. Drmies (talk) 18:39, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not asking all these explainations. How were you edited that? and edit and put it back him as the director. I would appreciate it. After my editings, "He was head of the department of mathematics, university of Mumbai and the founder director of the center of advanced study in mathematics, Mumbai since its inception in 1963 until he retired in 1978." Before my editings, "He was head of the department of mathematics, university of Mumbai and the director of the center of advanced study in mathematics, Mumbai since its inception in 1963 until he retired in 1978." The other gentleman(Administrator) was drunk, I belive. I was writing an new one K. Chandrasekharan and I had just started it. He reminded me that I'm copying - well I was using a source which he belived that I'm copying. I was using it as a source and making edit to reflect it is not a copy. --Status quo not acceptable (talk) 01:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Jeremy Rowley prodI have removed the
User 66.67.66.55I noticed you have reverted edits by 66.67.66.55. If you look at this person's history, you will see this has been a huge problem for many months. May I ask politely that you also report them to admin, and especially if they have violated 3RR - so they will FINALLY be blocked. I have tried so hard to hold my temper, and am very tired of Admin letting people like this get away with the vandalism because they weren't caught within 5 minutes. I've warned them, others have also. It does no good to warn them, as they just wait 2 or 3 days and start up again. If you check the Lindsay Monroe pages (in Characters, Anna Belknap and other pages) I believe you will also be able to see what appears to be sockpuppeting by this person. Even if you ONLY make a report on the vandalism and 3RR violation, I think it will help. I have reported it enough, and I don't think Admin is paying attention. Thank you so much.

(unindent) If you'd like to get a better understanding of how this place functions internally, and how to help out more efficiently, might I recommend that you join up with the adopt-a-user program, as an adoptee? You'll receive mentoring from an experienced editor, who is versed in Wikipedia procedures, policies, and guidelines. You'd have to stay consistently active in helping the project, but that shouldn't be too hard if you're truly interested in helping out (you'll get addicted eventually). If you'd like, I'd be happy to adopt you (I'm currently a mentor that contributes to the program). Let me know your response. Also, just as a note, I recommend that you start signing of your comments (by typing --~~~~ after all your responses); it's a guideline that everyone follows. --Blurpeace (talk) 15:59, 26 June 2009 (UTC) Thankshaha THanks BLurepeace —Preceding unsigned comment added by KillaMonaro471 (talk • contribs) 12:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC) regarding your request for AWB under User:BlurTentoAs an idea: Just to make the admin's job easier, you could edit under this account confirming that you are User:BlurTento and User:Blurpeace.

This page and the page for paroxetine suffer from page ownership and biased pov issues. The wording makes it appear that the medications are harmful. After reading them, it is hard to understand why the medications are so popular. They highlight any medical reference critical of the drugs but supress evidence in favor of the drugs.

Ecoleetage did not terminate his mentorship of me because he thought it was a "failure" or because it "failed" or because I "failed", etc. He ended it because he thought it was no longer necessary, because he thought it had succeeded (the opposite). Please examine his own comments in the linked previous AN/I: it was an incident report filed by Orderinchaos that apparently you have apparently not read. Ecoleetage explains there that on the basis of praise from editors like Keeper (see Keeper's barnstar/comments on my own userpage), Ecoleetage felt that his mentorship of me was no longer necessary. The false allegations in Orderinchao's "incident" report are disproved in the comments by both me and Ecoleetage throughout it; see Keeper's comments as well. Please see my own current talk page User talk:NYScholar#Summary and archived talk pages about this matter, where I address the matter. I will not be commenting further to Orderinchaos there.

IntrudingThere was a bit of a 'situation' where I, while on new page patrol, tagged a page for speedy deletion, the tag was deleted and readded, and then the article was eventually sent to AfD. In the midst of this, three people felt a need to contact me on my talk page (I responded to all, of course). The last two people who contacted me apologized for "intruding". It seems that they thought that I was conversing only with the first person who contacted me. I told them that it was a mild example of WP:BOLD, and that they didn't need to apologize. You can look at the bottom my talk page if this is all confusing. My question is, what's the etiquette for "intruding" on a user talk page? Should I apologize? --I dream of horses (talk) 23:48, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I happen to work with a close personal friend of his - they have played cricket together - and he has told me that one of his nicknames in the dressing room is indeed "Sexual Deviant" as a play on "Sexual Chocolate" due to his, shall we tactly say, unsual sexual preferences. This is a much more valid source than the resource you reference (some newspaper article - and they're notoriously reliable) so I am at a loss as to why you think my addition of a nickname is not as valid as yours. As for Ricky Ponting, have you ever seen him on television? He is very arrogant and his eyes are too close together, so why remove these factual statements? 194.126.226.253 (talk) 12:22, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I'm curious how, specifically, you see the Signpost falling short lately. In terms of some of the regular features that have been absent and some of the occasional features that have been rare, that's indeed a function of how many writers are active in any given week and how much work they put in.

Sorry about that. I do know that such comments should go on talk, but as the template didn't very specifically cover the issues, I thought this was a situation where a discreetly placed comment below it would be (IAR-style) appropriate, so the next editor might have a clue as to what I meant... and not revert me ;)

Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:16, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
