User talk:Stevey7788/Archive1Archive1 of User talk:Stevey7788 Y0uI replied to your comment on my talk page... just putting this here so you'll see you have new messages mostly, feel free to delete it (it's your talk page, after all.) Y0u 02:23, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
Hi. The "Banda, Ghana" article needs to be more than "Banda is a town in Ghana." You might want to sneak a peek at the Wikipedia:Manual of style to learn more. Also, please feel free to leave word on my talk page if I can be of help. Best, Lucky 6.9 03:55, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC) Hi, again :^) Single-sentence articles with little more than an echo of the title are usually speedy deletion candidates. However, please feel welcome to expand the article to include some basic information, such as landmarks, history, population and such. Just because it's tagged as a speedy doesn't mean you can't expand it. Also, even if it is speedied, you're welcome to write an expanded replacement article under the same title. Gotta run... - Lucky 6.9 04:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC) Re: How did you spot vandalism so quickly?Oh, I'm rather slow tonight actually; too many distractions. To answer your question, I use no software. It helps to exclude logged-in users from a Special:Recentchanges query, as it's only rarely that someone who bothers to create an account will vandalise (but it does happen, so periodic checks are necessary). I'm also an administrator, so I can revert bad edits fairly quickly via a rollback link on the diff page itself. -- Hadal 04:48, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC) Stuff
Trueblue9999Ok I registered --Trueblue9999 22:43, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC) Okay I'll put my stuff there --Trueblue9999 00:46, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC) I am experimenting and sorry for the late response --Trueblue9999 17:15, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC) April FoolsRegarding your comment on my page, I did stop but I disagree with your warning - it is not an offensive word. Yazman 09:36, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)Yazman It was just april fool's dayI add 'useful stuff' to wikipedia all the time, I didn't think messing with an april fool's article would have gotten mods pissed off, especially considering there was a lot of actually offensive material in other april fool's articles. Oakland MapsAgain, thanks for the fascinating statistical look at Oakland. I look forward to figuring out how to use Factfinder myself. --Andy M. 00:39, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) I appreciate the tutorial on Factfinder. I wonder if someone could write a bot that would automatically generate thematic maps for all Wikipedia cities... --Andy M. 21:49, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) Images in Ancestries of AmericansI'm on a copyvio kick, so I'm checking out the images you uploaded at Ancestries of Americans. Did you create them? If so, what kind of mapping software is that... doesn't look like MS MapPoint. Feco 06:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
MapsHey, I just noticed the maps of various California cities that you did. It's a really nifty idea; thanks for doing them! I was curious and took a look in detail and I began to wonder if the Census site had provided a legend that explained what the various colors mean in quantitative fashion? Otherwise, I'm a little unclear as to what they are actually showing. Thanks! -- Beland 07:33, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC) Clearing floatsI noticed you were using ten <br>s to clear the floats on some of your demographic maps articles. However, that's sometimes not enough. By contrast, a single <br clear="all"> is always enough, independent of the font size. I also noticed you didn't try to clear them sometimes (perhaps because it didn't break in your computer). I would recommend always clearing the floats before a new section. I fixed all the articles on Category:Demographic maps to properly clear the floats. --cesarb 21:35, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Adsense LinksWhy do you think those those links on the Adsense page aren't stupid? have you even looked at them. seriously, this, http://emailuniverse.com/adsense-secrets/ty.html, is spam. --Geedubber 05:23, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) How does a person report vandalism?
PS I am writing you here because the link you gave on the VIP page does not seem to go there on my computer. Is there a URL you can give me?
SandboxThank you for cleaning the sandbox while the Sandbot was inactive. Please let me know if the bot isn't cleaning the sandbox. -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:01, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) Hilary DuffDoing RC Patrol, I find it very amusing to watch you create all these redirects to Hilary Duff... Zzyzx11 | Talk 06:41, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) Marking articles VfDI came across an article that you had marked VfD. When you do so, make sure you follow the full VfD process (detailed instructions are at the bottom of WP:VFD). Feco 06:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) Misspelyng redirectsI encourage you to rethink your habit of redirect misspellings. When a user misspells a word but the article comes up anyway they will never know they spelled it wrong in the first place. Spelling suggestion will eventually be added to the MediaWiki software but we shouldn't make a mess of the database now. A spell checker won't work very well when every misspelling corresponds to an actual article. —TeknicTalk / Mail 08:47, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) PelicanShit usernameI redundantly reblocked it today, but in fact it was originally blocked indefinitely back on March 29 by User:Neutrality. I added an explanatory message at User talk:PelicanShit even though I don't think anybody's home to read it. -- Curps 07:12, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
Redirect and IP AddressesThanks for for telling me how to redirect. I had no idea ppl can message ip addresses and that my ip address is my user name. I wonder about multiple ip addresses. I mean I'm using a router right now and that's my router's address. If two ppl use the same router, then won't wikipedia think they are the same person? 129.21.108.43 04:46, 5 May 2005 (UTC) High Fructose Corn syrupWas wondering why you removed the word sugar from my short definition of HFCS. (I just showed up as an IP.) Edit summaryHello, I was going through your contributions and noticed that you don't often add an edit summary. I would like to encourage you to always add a summary as it makes other editors' lives easier. -- FP <talk><edits> 06:44, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
Sandbox awardI, FP, in my official capacity as nobody-in-particular, hereby bestow upon you, Stevey7788, the mighty and presigious Atlas Award for your dedicated and ongoing work to ensure that one of Wikipedia's most visible pages — the Sandbox — is sanitary, inoffensive, tidy and welcoming to new Wikipedians. "The Atlas Award For Raking the Sandbox Clean may be awarded to those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in fishing disgusting and unwanted items from the Wikipedia sandbox. The Atlas award is named after Charles Atlas and is taken from his 'they kicked sand in my face' advertisement, and is in no way merely a masculine image. It is a symbol of self-empowerment. Charles Atlas was once a self-styled 98-pound weakling, and through his own diligence and effort, became a very succesful businessman and body builder. And his business empire began with the ad that this image is from." Well done. -- FP <talk><edits> 06:44, May 12, 2005 (UTC) Sandbox copy/pastingAll right. You don't have to rake them all up, though. The Sandbot does that every 12 hours. → JarlaxleArtemis 00:28, May 13, 2005 (UTC) sandbot messasgePlease see my comments on my talk page. -- AllyUnion (talk) 02:10, 13 May 2005 (UTC) Note about Sandbot's 12 hour cleaning scheduleSandbot's original cleaning time was 6 hours apart. However, Wikipedian231, suggested that the Sandbot clean out the sandbox less infrequent to allow more changes to appear in the Sandbox. If you think the Sandbot needs to step up its sweeping schedule, please let me know and ask for Wikipedia231's opinions about it. -- AllyUnion (talk) 02:10, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
the maps are tightI really like the maps. how did you make them? the census web-site? i tried but could'nt figure it out. Klhi 09:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) MapsThanks for the fascinating and informative Maps of Los Angeles, California. You learn/see so much from looking at them. jengod 19:05, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC) Replacing NovationHi, since you've worked on the Novation article, I wanted to let you know that I plan to move it to Novation Electronic Music Systems, to make way for an article on the longstanding legal term discussing the substitution of obligations or parties. Cheers. -- BD2412 talk 01:53, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC) Good workYour name keeps popping up on my watchlist of Southern California articles, especially some articles that need the attention. Thanks for doing that. Cheers, -Willmcw 08:23, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) Interested in an L.A.-area Wiki meetup?It appears as though L.A. has never had a Wiki meetup. Would you be interested in attending such an event? If so, checkout User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup. - Eric 06:15, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Duplicate MassinaHey Stevey, I noticed that I accidentally created a duplicate article to your Macina Empire today. Sorry about that--my source had a different spelling, but I should have checked the Malian articles better. What's more confusing is that I seem to have different info from you in Basil Davidson--though my entry is sparse and I may well have misread. Feel free to hack away whatever you need to from mine. Anyway, I'm happy to bump into somebody else working on a Mali article! Are you hitting them regularly or is this an exception? A pleasure, --Dvyost 5 July 2005 23:43 (UTC)
Possible admin nominationHello, I just wanted to run this by you before I actually did it- what would you think of me nominating you for administrator? You (Talk) July 6, 2005 14:24 (UTC)
What do you mean the space between atomic orbitals? There is no space, and even if there was, it wouldn't be called a node. Unless you know something I don't know, that is. Give me one reason why I shouldn't list that page on VFD. -- Tim Starling July 7, 2005 06:37 (UTC) |
