That is the question.... LOL. Thanks for the heads up. It made no sense to me, but yes, other criteria would have been better. Change it if you will. Bearian (talk) 01:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Although, for some reason, I can't seem to find the "mark this page as patrolled" link mentioned that's supposed to be in the lower right of the page. - Vianello (talk) 01:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I see the problem now. I was doing that, but for some reason I was thinking a yellow mark meant patrolled, not UNpatrolled. This makes a great deal more sense now. Thanks! - Vianello (talk) 01:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, though I marked as many pages as I could "patrolled", there were some pages where I did not feel I knew enough about the subjects to mark them one way or the other. I felt it was better to leave these as they were for others to take care of. Thank you for taking an interest though; new page patrolling is both useful and entertaining, isn't it though? Scapler (talk) 01:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Actually, in the page I noticed, you had marked it for speedy deletion but had not marked it as patrolled. But from your post, it seems that was an accidental one-time thing.
Yes, it must have been a one time mistake, sorry. Actually, it seems like I have had to mark pages as patrolled at least twice before they have shown up as marked on multiple occasions tonight. I wonder if there are glitches? Scapler (talk) 01:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, out of many, many pages I have patrolled tonight, it has only been a problem with three or four, so it is really no big deal. (Just slightly, though only minimally, annoying, like a mosquito with a defective hematophagian technique)
Sorry, as a Floridian, I can't help but joke about Mosquitos. But hey, learning useless things is now so much easier with Wikipedia! Scapler (talk) 02:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Newbie Help
Hithere and thank you..i added a link to th "the Alchemyst, The Magician, The Sorceress" pages earlier tonight and also to the author's page. "Michael Scott" they have been removed and i have been asked not to re post them, i am brand new to this, if i did something wrong then i apologise, but they are not advertising..it is a book discussion forum which has been approved and sanctioned by the author, i have e mail proof of that request and there is proof on his website where he directs his traffic to come to this forum as it is the start of a full new fan site that is endorsed and participated in by the author..how can i change the decision? thank you for your time and advice :0) Zephfya (talk) 01:56, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia. As a newcomer to Wikipedia, you are likely unfamiliar with several of Wikipedian policies, including this one. Now, you say that the author of the book wants to try to drive traffic to this new forum. Unfortunately, the kind of is the definition of advertising. Perhaps you want to familiarize yourself with this policy, and if you have any more questions, perhaps you could ask at WP:Help Desk.
If you feel, after all of this, that these links still merit inclusion, perhaps you want to try discussing it at the talk pages (go to the top of the article and hit the talk tab) of the articles. NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work02:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you Nuclear I have read the rules that you have highlighted, i am sorry, i clearly did inadvertently break the rules! i will take it to the talk pages as you have suggested thank you very much for your help and advice Zephfya (talk) 02:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your assistance, NuclearWarfare! I was pulling my hair out. I enjoy the newness of the experience but must admit to lacking patience. Your kindness (and willingness to step in so quickly) is most appreciated. 4mscollins (talk) 02:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello, NuclearWarfare. I just wanted to give you a nod so you can finally know my username... I'm a good friend of Schzmo in real life. If you still don't know who I am, pop me an email so I can tell you. Oh, and good luck with your admin coaching! DARTH PANDAtalk00:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I would be extremely interested in that article. Good to see you know who I am. Do you care if I mention you on my userpage as you have mentioned others and if I steal that awesome toolbar from your userpage? DARTH PANDAtalk00:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, Huggle seems to be having issues with marking pages as patrolled. I can see it trying to do that on the bottom (in the log) but it always fails for some odd reason. Otherwise, I would be marking those pages. And I'd far rather be templated than rickrolled... It has less embarrassment. DARTH PANDAtalk01:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Yea, no problem. I still have no clue what the error with the new page marking is, so I'm going to avoid it as much as possible from now on until I figure out the issue. DARTH PANDAtalk00:27, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I suppose you're right that I'll need that page, in fact I was about to use it... I thought it might be easier just to remove the whole thing altogether for now. DARTH PANDAtalk00:29, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Why did you revert my edit to the Race House topic? All I did was add the coordinates for the house. Now, the latest edit to the topic added the coordinates as missing, even though they were there before you reverted the change. Maybe I did something wrong and would like to know what. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.66.244 (talk) 23:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your "welcome", for the cookies and for the help. I have a question regarding my user page. I have just put some stuff on my French Wikipedia user page ([[[1]]]). Mainly I put there some user boxes describing me. Is there a way for transferring these boxes or equivalent userboxes in my English Wikipedia page User:Nicodetr? Thanks. Regards,
Unfortunately, there isn't, due to the way Wikipedia is coded. However, what you can do is redirect your English Wikipedia page to your French one. Add {{softredirect|fr:Utilisateur:Nicodetr}} to the top your userpage, and people will be given the option of clicking on the link to get to your French Userpage.

HI again, I have one more question: I made changes in the pages ARNTL (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ARNTL&action=history), but I noticed too late that I wasn't logged in at the time I saved the changes. So my IP address is indicated in the History, instead of my user name. Is it possible to change this? I am talking of the change on Oct 20, at 21:44.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fernando Lembo di Pino
I see you've relisted this a second time. My inference is that if no-one gives enough of a toss to enter a debate, this merely underlines the subject's lack of notability. If no 'debate' ensues, what actually happens per WP guidelines?--Yumegusa (talk) 23:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm willing to give this one last run and wait, then close as no consensus to delete, default to keep. Consensus at AfD means that people have to bring in good reasons to delete; otherwise it is kept. I can't quote any guidelines, but my idea seems like a reasonable interference. Anyway, that's just my idea. Do you have any other suggestions? NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work23:23, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Well I've just said what my inference is, and given you my reasoning, and you haven't offered any counter-interpretation. You say, "Consensus at AfD means that people have to bring in good reasons to delete; otherwise it is kept" but two editors have reached a consensus to delete, based on inability to establish notability. A (presumably) sole anon has been responsible for maintaining the article, which is way below WP standards in every respect; there appears to be no way to fix it without recourse to external sources, none of which exist. Seems to me that failing to delete such an article under these circumstances approaches irresponsible negligence.--Yumegusa (talk) 08:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
In that case, you should wait for a group of editors to come by and verify that fact, as is already happening. Just be patient, remember that that there is no deadline, and know that if the article is truly against Wikipedian policy, it will be deleted, even if it has to go through an extended AfD because AfD regulars have overlooked it.

Question
One of my edits was removed and considered vandilism because it contained an "inappropriate link". I would like to know why the link was considered inappropriate. All it was was a link to the book I was refering too. Please tell me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theonlyonethatmatters (talk • contribs)
Question re: APICS The Association for Operations Management
The legal name of the organization is APICS The Association for Operations Management. The full, incorporated name is American Production and Inventory Control Society d/b/a APICS The Association for Operations Managment. The issue is that when we reincorporated, we had to modify the old name. Since the 1970s, however, no one has used the name American Production and Inventory Control Society.
I can provide a letter from the CEO if necessary to make the change. Since Wikipedia has this acronym policy, I would be fine with making the "APICS" page the main page and changing the title to "APICS The Association for Operations Management" and redirecting the "American Production and Inventory Control Society". Is that something we can do? --Opsman1952 (talk) 21:15, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
I appreciate that you totally disagree with my approach to this, but you I please implore you to not make change like this using the tool? Because they are so minor and insignificant (compared even to the removal of a category), I'd suggest that they violate that 4th point you mentioned. WP:TFD and WP:IFD results often require removal of the relevant item, and it's along with this sort of task, along with article tagging runs/etc, that I'd imagine this sort of change should be made. Yes, it is over a longer period, but if the change is included into AWB's general fixes (if a strong consensus to change existing articles is shown to exist), it'll be done when nearly any user/bot runs a task. I hope this makes sense, and please do avoid making such small edits (if anything, it clogs up recent changes with many bot-like edits with no real change which might pose problems for RC patrollers) if at all possible. Thanks, Martinp2323:45, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Please wait for five days before closing an AfD. I have noted that different AfD's you closed had not even run for four full days before you closed them. WP:DPR hgives more info on this. Fram (talk) 07:13, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Essentially, take season 2 and go over and try to format it perfectly with season 1. Then, try to find information to put in the region 2 table.

Sure, no problem :) The only place I've really seen this discussed is a recent conversation on User:Lightmouse's talk page, where there was, at the very least, no consensus for this (2 admins opposed, a bunch of lesser editors approved, and Martin threatened bans from AWB (though Lightmouse was partially at fault)) NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work00:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I noticed your edit to Depeche Mode discography last night. Some Bizzare is not a typo but the actual name of the label and associated album released in 1981.

There was a rationale for this, for which I probably should have explained in my edit summary. The article was about an Indian chess player. India uses the dmy date formatting system. Therefore, the article should be in dmy. NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work21:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it is not the rest of wiki's buisness to do research. There are a couple of links you should look at. One is Wikipedia:Free speech, which explains wiki's policy on Freedom of Speech. The other is Wikipedia:Reliable sources. This says that anything that you write, especially contriversial issues, should be cited with reliable, third-party, published sources.

Please note that, per the still open RFC at WT:MOSLINK, there is currently no consensus to de-link dates of birth and death. Use of tools to mass de-link such dates is therefore not appropriate. Jheald (talk) 19:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia. There are a few things you ought to learn about Wikipedia. One is that reading the guidelines isn't really all that important. As long as you use some common sense as to what you should add, that should be enough.
However, don't think I'm not going to answer your question. I posted a link on your page with the links that will probably be most helpful to you :)
I hve been accused of vandelism...but I don't think that I did, could you help me in being more specific in what I have been accused of? What I said was the truth, and not derrogatory in any way that I'm aware of. Thanks

Dear NuclearWarfare,
'Vandalism'???
Oh, no. Not at all! This 'Elizabeth' article is full of factuals errors and approximations. As a linguist specializing in onomastics, I DO intend to go rewriting this. It's full of absurd claims- one just can't leave it as it is.

I am the legal advisor to Mr Simon Morris. I am very concerned that Wikipedia is being used as a propaganda source to discredit Mr Morris and his associates, rather than as the free source of encyclopedic information which it was designed for. I have continually made amendments to the article to reflect accurate provable facts, but continually am faced with others whom wish to replace fact with conjecture, opinion and assumptions. It wold appear that they consider Wikipedia to be more tabloid than enclyclopedic. I consider many of the comments inserted about mr Morris to be either untrue, innaccurate, misleading and/or even defamatory.
Please can someone contact me directly on <personal info removed> or by email on <personal info removed>?
Quite right too. But if you're watching this ghastly weakly-sourced article, why are you not doing something useful like improving it? 86.160.182.68 (talk) 03:07, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

If you look at the previous edits, Grawp hit it with a rotating IP. If he hit it every minute, and we got, say, 500 viewers a minute, around 300 may see the vandalized article. This way, hopefully, he tires out. I'd say this is a special case.
I have accessed the deleted article and placed it in my userspace for people to view. This is Euryalus' version: User:Richardcavell/Roy Stewart (surfer). The most recent version, which was deleted, and for which Euryalus was not the most recent editor, is here: User:Richardcavell/Roy Stewart (surfer): Most recent version. It was deleted by Orangemike. - Richard Cavell (talk) 09:26, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! That means a lot to me. I hope you find my suggestions helpful. The Avatar: The Last Airbender task force looks to be making steady progress.

Hopefully you can go some way towards providing an interesting and helpful resource for all. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 20:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
It appears that both you and I have noticed that this user has continually removed the fictional mass murder category from many articles without discussing first on the talk page - it appears to be vandalism.

For the comment on use of G1. I think generally hit the mark on most reasons for deletion, but I am sure I miss on occasion.
As for marking as patrolled, I will only mark as patrolled those pages I am sure are valid. For example, if a page is for a CD and I am not familiar with the item, I will not mark as patrolled.
Well, if you have patrolled and tagged it, an admin will look it over anyway. So just be sure to mark all of the new pages that you tag for speedy deletion as patrolled.
G1 is to generally only be used for things like "ASJDHASFJDSHDAlol12378123sfduio". If you have a special case that doesn't fit any, consider using the prod templates or sending it to XfD instead. - NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work20:55, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for caring and everything but uhh dont. The page does not need to be deleted and I dont know anyother way to fix that other than getting rid of that warning junk. So find someone else to bother alright?

Thanks. I can find no link or information on the page that provides necessary eMail information. "Contact Us" just links to other Wiki pages, and so on...
Indeed. So, I corrected the blatant bias on said page. When one is sighting a source that clearly describes a historical fact, I find it a great disservice to other users to omit so much of the sources material that an entirely different message is conveyed. Statements of fact will inherently hold a position, sir. Sorry to disappoint you. Maybe you should actually read the source material, for verification, of course, before contacting me next time.
As I have written on multiple occasions when someone tags my user talk page with this issue: I use Twinkle for new-page patrol, and when I tag a page using Twinkle, it removes the mark-as-patrolled link. This forces me to navigate back to the article and attempt to mark it, by which time it is often already deleted or marked. I am told that Twinkle is supposed to have this fixed Real Soon Now, but you know how that sort of thing goes.
The nonsense tag on the article you noted seemed to be the closest criterion match, as the article had nothing to do with the title. I suppose vandalism could have been cited as well. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
The issue is really easy to solve. I use Twinkle as well for patrolling new pages, and I have no problem. First, when you open a new page, open it in a new tab. Then tag it for speedy deletion if it clearly meets the criteria and before the page reloads, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Mark as Patrolled. With Twinkle's lag in refreshing (~5 sec), you should have no problem with this.
Yeah, tried that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Ends up being more trouble than it's worth. Been doing new-page patrol for about two years or so, and have yet to consistently be able to hit it that way. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 13:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
The G1 criteria (nonsense) is to only be used in very limited situations, where a bunch of random text is placed down like: "hasdasdhjasdhjasd." Otherwuse, just use the other criteria that are designed for this (g2, g3, g10, a1, a7, etc.) - NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work05:08, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
In theory, maybe, but I think G1 gets used a little more broadly than that in practice. As I said, I've been doing new-page patrol quite a while now, and I think I can count on one hand the times that an admin has declined a G1 speedy request of mine when the article wasn't just random characters. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 13:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
We should try to stick to theory if at all possible though. I can't think of any reason where an article would need to be speedily deleted if it does not fall under the normal criteria. Can you not just do the regular way, please? - NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work19:57, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I found what you meant. Since we edited at similar times, it is likely that I reverted you at close to the time that we were reverting the vandalism. I'm sorry. Please accept my apologies. - NuclearWarfarecontact meMy work22:29, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
I was on a generic IP and created a username to specify what changes I make from others on my IP. There was a message from your username NuclearWarfare saying the test of my edit on Petra worked and had been removed. I looked in the history on Petra and you removed my changes I made. Just wondering what the "test" was and why my edit was removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeepenator (talk • contribs) 22:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi I just noticed you undid an edit about Apolinario Mabini going to Our Lady of Perpetual Succor College, not the University of Santo Tomas. And then you undid your won undo. The sources do indicate Mabini did indeed go to UST, not OLOPSC. I've made the correction, but I'd like to give you a heads up, as well as inquire why you hesitated. :-D Just as a matter of curiosity. -- Alternativity (talk) 18:02, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh. It's at [3] (Sorry, don't know how to create a link to an old edit). By reverting your own edit (as your summary indicated), it went back to 122.2.112.212's Our Lady of Perpetual Succor College, when it should be University of Santo Tomas. :-D -- Alternativity (talk) 04:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Ah, ok. At that time, I was on a vandal-hunting spree. I remember seeing that edit, reverting it, and being unsure if it was really an unconstructive edit. I erred on the side of not biting the newbie, and I reverted. Glad to see that you followed up on it though; Thanks :D!
Hi, I saw your edit to the FAC for 1983 Atlantic hurricane season, the main contributor had given a comment and I have wondered if you have seen it.--Neka 2008!00:14, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I notice you opposed based on the bug and would like your opinion on the validity of it. To keep discussions centralised, I have started a discussion here. Hopefully we can together establish consensus one way or another. Rambo's Revenge(talk)12:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Signpost updated for November 17, 2008 and before.
Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.
