Cansema - Help Request

Would you be so kind as to look at the present fracas over at cansema. I seem to have gotten into a bit of an edit war with an IP user pushing items which may violate wp:or and wp:npov. Thanks. Jettparmer (talk) 15:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, looking at that article, it looks ok as it is. I wouldn't say any of it was original research as everything that should be referenced is referenced either by sources online or via books. What I would suggest, if there's any disagreement over content that you discuss it on the articles talk page. If that fails I would suggest that you go to dispute resolution --5 albert square (talk) 20:06, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, at present the current state is the "unmodified state". The IP user has reverted twice already to previous deletions and non WP:rs elements. Jettparmer (talk) 01:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks...

...For reverting vandalism on my talk page. I owe you one. ;) Salvio ( Let's talk 'bout it!) 23:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome, didn't think you'd appreciate the comments the user left! He's blocked now anyway :) --5 albert square (talk) 23:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

User talk page vandalism

Thank you so much for reverting the vandalism on my user talk page. M-R-Schumacher (talk) 14:16, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Brain fuck scheduler

That poor guy. There really is such a thing as a brain fuck scheduler. I just hit him for it and then had to go back and apologize. More infor coming Susfele (talk) 23:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Seriously?! I've never heard of it until just now. Anyway I just went back and reverted my edit and then apologised on his talk page. Though why he went straight to a final warning I've no idea! I didn't ask Huggle to do that! --5 albert square (talk) 23:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
What on Earth? I came here expecting to revert vandalism given the header! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:27, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
It's an unfortunate feature/bug of Huggle. It leaves 4im if a prior level 3 or 4 warning has been removed from the talk page during the Huggle session. (as did I, HJ...) Courcelles (talk) 23:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
The poor guy, every time he mentions that page ClueBot is probably going to come along, revert him and then warn him. When I first realised I'd reverted back to his version I thought I was going to have to report a false positive to ClueBot before I realised ClueBot hadn't actually done anything wrong! --5 albert square (talk) 23:35, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page.  :) Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 01:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Page deletion help

Hi. Im new at wikipedia as a member. Im not good at editing and im not good at english itself. But i didnt understand why the page "Mamlambo" was to be deletion. Mamlambo is investigated in southern african and most black south african knows mamlambo and all other races just as long as they live in rural areas. I do not think the mamlambo article must be remove because investigators would find information from the page to help them about getting her and it is an african creature that even other people must know about as it has killed children and adults too. So please can you help the page not deletion please... Thami29 (talk) 16:25, 27 June 2010 (UTC) Thami, (Thami29)

Hi
Looking at the template on the page, I can see it's because there's no citations and some of the material is classed as "original research".
When it says there's no citations it means that there are no sources in other words no references, no reliable sources to back up facts, figures etc. I would suggest that you read Wikipedia: Reliable sources for what types of sources you can use in the article. Good sources are usually sources like books, newspapers etc.
"Original research" means that there is maybe information published on the page that has not first of all been published in a reliable source. For example the article reads "Personal Accounts say that it has killed seven people, and other accounts say it has killed nine, the latest being a schoolgirl, found and buried a month later." I can't find any reliable source that backs this up, and that is the sort of information that would have to be backed up on Wikipedia. Remember, Wikipedia works on verfiability not rumour, I would suggest that you read Wikipedia:Original research for further information.
Any questions, feel free to ask :) --5 albert square (talk) 21:02, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Holy Soap

I've just made (Wiki)life difficult for us, by creating an article for Holy Soap. If it doesn't get re-directed or deleted, we'll have to go round all of the Neighbours pages and add the links to it. Lol. I wonder if I can get a DYK out of it? It probably won't be very interesting. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 21:53, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

No, you wouldn't get a DYK out of it. However it may be kept, after all Digital Spy has it's own page :) --5 albert square (talk) 22:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Why wouldn't she? It's long enough, referenced, and so long as it doesn't get sent to AfD, I don't see the reason it wouldn't be suitable as a DYK... Courcelles (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
I dunno what part of the article you could use though............... --5 albert square (talk) 22:20, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
That does sound better then what I came up with, ...that the Holy Soap website is the official UK home of the Australian soap operas Home and Away and Neighbours? Do you mind if I steal your suggestion? - JuneGloom07 Talk? 22:35, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Lightstream pictures AfD

FYI, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lighstream pictures wasn't necessary at all. You could've just tagged the article with {{db-a10|Lightstream Pictures}}, as duplication of an existing article is a criterion for speedy deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 22:02, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Ah thanks, believe it or not I've never come across a duplicate article before. I did look under the CSD options but I didn't see that one :) --5 albert square (talk) 22:15, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Video game articles

As you may have seen from RPP and other places, there's something going on with video game articles. Any idea what it might be? MaterialScientist has done a great job of blocking some of the main cross over offenders but the list of articles continues to expand. Shadowjams (talk) 05:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Do you have a link to any of the video game articles in particular so I can have a look? --5 albert square (talk) 20:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

List of Intel Itanium microprocessors

Would you like to elucidate on why you are reverting my edits on List of Intel Itanium microprocessors? Yes, I am aware they were reversion already and they contain many external links but if you had bothered to read the discussion on my talk page: User talk:192.102.209.29#Jule 2010 you'd know it was decided to allow these edits. 192.102.209.29 (talk) 01:13, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Your revert

Was this revert intentional because you didn't like the edit? Because if not, it probably should go back to the IP version. If you reverted it just because of all the reverts done by the IP, they had a discussion on the talk page and consensus was reached that the IP version should be used instead. If you didn't like it, then please let me know (otherwise I'll just revert it back to the IP's version since it seemed like that was the only reason for your revert). Thanks, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 01:13, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Beat to the punch; same as thread above... --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 01:14, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, Shirik. 192.102.209.29 (talk) 01:17, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
No, it was just that it looked like someone was trying to do nothing but advertise. Sorry, I didn't see anything saying that the editor was allowed to make the edits --5 albert square (talk) 01:19, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
How do you figure advertisement? If Intel is not the most authoritative source for information on their processors I would like to know who is. 192.102.209.29 (talk) 01:25, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I meant more spamming rather than advertising, it was because the links appeared repeatedly. Either way, sorry, it was a genuine mistake :) --5 albert square (talk) 01:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
They were different links to different processors and the "mistake" had already just been made. Remember the article is a "list" article. You are bound to get many external list references on a list article. I really wonder why people are so reversion happy. 192.102.209.29 (talk) 01:35, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
It's not her fault, it's mine- the script I'm using told the script she's using that your edit was vandalism and her script told her that, so it really was a mistake. And the chances are she's never visited your talk page- these scripts drop the templates automatically. As for being revert happy, you do have a point, but there are a lot of vandals out there fucking up the encyclopaedia, so we have to develop quick ways of dealing with them. It's unfortunate that innocent editors such as yourself get caught up in it, but everyone is acting in good faith and trying to fight vandalism. Whisky drinker | HJ's sock 01:39, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps but the number of valid editors far outweighs the number of vandals (as promiscuous as they might be). I am not trying to outright blame anyone. I am trying to get it fixed so it does not happen in the future. 192.102.209.29 (talk) 01:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, it was a genuine error. I did look on the articles talk page because normally discussions on whether or not links can be included would be on there, but I didn't see anything and I didn't think to look on the IPs talk page. Either way I can only apologise. Can I make a suggestion though? Any time you're going to make an edit and you've got permission to add links, that you use the edit summary to say something like "adding links as per discussion at .......". You will probably find then that your edits are less likely to be reverted, if they're reverted at all :) --5 albert square (talk) 01:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Well I did not expect to get reverted immediately after spending the last half-hour getting that straightened out and I also had a sea of reverts to sort out to figure out which ones needed reverted again without messing it up. I appreciate the suggestion however. 192.102.209.29 (talk) 01:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Revert at Software Versioning

The page on Software versioning contained a hidden link to the page about foreskin where it was far from obvious that it would go there. As such I deem it inappropriate that a page with a very NSFW photo at the top should unexpectedly open from a page that is very relevant on many work places, as such I rewrote the section slightly to explain the 'wordplay' in the sentence with words rather than have the unintended link side effect. ClueBot reverted my edit because it contained the word 'pen1s' (with 1 to evade cluelessbot and its shortsighted regexp) and I went through the trouble to revert it as a valid edit - only to see you revert it to ClueBot's version 20 minutes later. Care to elaborate why you want that page to contain a hidden link to foreskin photos so badly? Curry684 (talk) 01:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Huh? I don't understand what you're meaning. From what I could see they were likening a software to it? My edit contains the exact same link as your edit does, just ClueBot's edit was a little shorter which I thought was better, hence why I reverted without warning you? As for the name-calling of ClueBot in the above message, that's unnecessary --5 albert square (talk) 21:14, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
No Cluebot reverted to the original, and thus you reverted to the original. Read the section, and you will see that it now just says "Noone wants a Winamp 4 skin" like before my edit. From the context there the casual reader has no reason to assume or suspect that clicking that link will take him to a page containing a rather nasty pen1s photo, which I clarified to avoid unpleasant surprises at work. Yes the original was shorter but that was the whole point of the edit, it needed more clarity  ;) As for calling ClueBot a clueless bot: blindly reverting all edits referencing male reproductive organs is just plain stupid on a site with tens of thousands of valid references to those organs - but that's offtopic here so let's close that subject.

Ellen Page

Does Huggle of the option of placing a {{uw-biog3}} warning instead of a vandalism one? I don't use Huggle myself, so I don't know. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 04:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I believe that it does, I think I just found it :) --5 albert square (talk) 04:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Both gay as Muslim

It wasn't supposed to say that, that's why it didn't make sense! It was a typo :-) Good luck with your move tomorrow! Only just noticed! AnemoneProjectors 20:26, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

@Anemone: wtf? @5asq: good luck from me too. Hope everything goes all right and you get settled in quickly. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Haha Anemone, I was going to say it didn't make sense that Syed would be both gay as a muslim lol, made more sense to say that he figured out he could be gay and muslim! I can't see his family talking to him for a while now as I think they will think he has brought disgrace on their family. I can't believe though that I had tears in my eyes at the end of the episode though! I think it was because I'd said goodbye to all my friends earlier in the day and hearing Julia's theme at the end of the ep was just enough. As for the move, I'm more or less there and Samsung are putting me up in a top hotel for the first week which helps as I'll get the chance to get my gas and electricity connected then. Really just my pc to pack and I'm there but I can't do that until I manage to get off Wikipedia and that's harder than it sounds! It's gonna be weird having virtually no access to Wikipedia over the next week or so. I really should have weened myself off! --5 albert square (talk) 20:42, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
yeah it was supposed to say "both gay and Muslim", but that's the thing with typos, you don't notice them yourself! Julie'a theme was a lovely touch to the episode. I think they did it because of all the Chryedians who have waited so long for them to get back together! A top hotel? Oooh! One with internet access??? I hate being without internet access. There have been a few times in the past where I was forced to have no internet access. I used to drive into work when nobody was there and use it there!!!!! AnemoneProjectors 20:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Ha, I will be at the Staybridge Suite Hotel in Newcastle. I can see that it has wi-fi but unfortunately I have desktop pc not laptop and I don't intend on carrying it half way across Newcastle to a hotel! Depends though, there might be desktop pcs that I can use at the hotel or maybe I'll get desperate enough to find an internet cafe! If I'm not sitting near a manager at work I might try and sneak on then! --5 albert square (talk) 21:39, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

unconstructive edit? (Carriers film entry)

Please clarify why you consider my edit as unconstructive (on film "Carriers"). After reading this entry, I watched the movie and added to the plot. why am i getting vandalism warnings for legitimate edits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.189.203.54 (talk) 03:25, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Donna Freedman

I noticed you reverted the edits made by the user, but he reverted the info and reference removal by the IP. The reference was an offline newspaper article. I've seen it and it does mention that Donna is leaving at the end of the year (though I'm not 100% sure if I believe it).

Ah ok, I didn't see any links leading to other pages :) --5 albert square (talk) 23:43, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Heads up.

I must say, if people really need to know that sort of stuff, I think they need better things to do. But that's just my opinion. Tommy! [message] 01:06, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Yeah no kidding. >.> · Andonic Contact 01:12, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Ah sorry, my mistake, I went by the wording. Cluebot would've had fun there! Anyway I've removed the warning from the IPs page :) --5 albert square (talk) 01:08, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Yeah no worries, I've done that sort of thing far too often myself. Ah well, we're still a net benefit right? Cheers, · Andonic Contact 01:12, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

The Bill

Looks like a SYSOP error was made. Newest edit as of right now. CycloneGU (talk) 16:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's ok. That was the previous protection template coming off. Just the bot hadn't gotten around to it yet. I did try and remove it myself but I couldn't see the coding for it on the page. Never mind, it's removed now --5 albert square (talk) 16:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, I've added my vote :), hope it gets through!!--5 albert square (talk) 19:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Yup, 2400 including final 2 episodes. It's not just those references either, Google has hundreds stating the same. When I google The Bill episode 2399 I get the previous episode. When I google The Bill episode 2401, I got nothing relating to the TV programme. --5 albert square (talk) 01:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Fair enough. I'm nearly finished with the awards. I'm hoping I can take it to FLC in the next few days. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:54, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
That's good. I did wonder the same as you about the ep numbers that's why I did google them but I'm not finding anything after 2400! As Wikipedia goes on verifibility then I think that's what the article needs to read. By the way did you see it's likely to get refused for ITN? Apparently opposing because it's not saying in the article that the programme is Britain's longest running police procedural! How daft! Of course it's not going to say that when the programme has been axed! --5 albert square (talk) 02:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Well it's not really Earth-shattering news unless you're a fan. I din't expect it to go up, but I thought it was worth a nom. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:06, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Hey sure, not sure when it will be though as AWB currently no workie on my computer at the moment. Tried everything I can think of so I've had to post on the projects talk page see if anyone else knows! If all else fails I'll need to contact User: Reedy :( --5 albert square (talk) 23:42, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Typical! Never mind. If there's anything of note, I'm sure someone will raise it in the FLC. It's looking good so far, though. all the concerns have been pretty minor. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:58, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
It does look ok, I don't think AWB will show up anything. --5 albert square (talk) 00:14, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, just wondering why in this diff [2] you've given the edit summary "correcting formatting", when {{imdb episode}} and {{tv.com episode}} exist for this express purpose? Frickative 22:19, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, I'm really confused now. I got told at DYK that the formatting for the external links wasn't correct so I went in and formatted them as according to the Wikipedia toolbar? Maybe the edit summary wasn't clear? But that's what I did and why --5 albert square (talk) 22:23, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
I assume the DYK comment was referring to this version of the article, when the external links weren't formatted at all. I'd actually fixed them since then, using the templates that exist specifically for IMDb and TV.com links, so your edit confused me is all. Frickative 22:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Ah sorry! I did look back on the article earlier, could've sworn I went to the correct part. Sorry! --5 albert square (talk) 22:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
No worries! I was concerned the templates might have been deprecated or something without my having heard about it, good to know it was just a mix up! :) Frickative 22:32, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
That's ok and thanks for being so understanding lol --5 albert square (talk) 22:47, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Pantops Academy

Hi Square,

I noticed that you tagged Pantops Academy, an article I just created, as having multiple issues. I understand that the article needs to be expanded, but in what way does it need to be wikified and cleaned up?

Neelix (talk) 02:02, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I put that in in error, then my ISP had internet problems for the rest of the weekend so I couldn't get back on to correct it!
Have corrected it now :) --5 albert square (talk) 18:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Respect (The Bill)

Hey, I've added a load of information to the article. Can you try and find some stuff on the production? It could be a GA with a bit of work, but it would be good to get it done now while there are plenty of sources available. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:42, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey HJ!
Yeah I will look at that. I'm going to watch The Bill's farewell documentary tonight so I'm hoping to get more ideas from that. I know we can't use stuff in the documentary unless it's referenced or it will count as original work or whatever it is but it might give me ideas on what to Google. I notice the episode is on Youtube, what I'm planning to do one time is take plenty of screenshots so we have variants on what we can use in the article. If I can get a decent one of Inspector Smith and Sgt Callum Stone in the final scene I reckon that would be good to use as would a couple of Jasmine Harris.
What a weekend I've had though, some trouble with Virgin and BT in my area yesterday apparently only affecting customers connecting to the internet via ASDL modem, they couldn't resolve it all day so because I couldn't get on Wikipedia I didn't know what to do with myself! --5 albert square (talk) 18:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Damn those internet companies! Bloody useless! We just need some stuff on how the episode was made and some more crap just to beef it up. You'd struggle on the images. You might be able to get away with one more if you can argue that it really enhances the reader's understanding. I included the one of the super giving his respect speech because that's quite a key moment in the episode. Speaking of the super, his article is just a redirect at the minute. I think he deserves a proper article... HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:05, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to leap into the middle of your discussion, but I just thought I'd mention that the farewell documentary is a totally legitimate source if there's useful information in it - just use {{cite video}} to reference it. If there's commentary from cast and crew, it's probably going to be one of your most useful sources for production/development :) Frickative 23:20, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, bloody internet lol. Was bloody thankful I got on ok tonight! I'm really struggling to find any info that can be backed up by refs on how the episode was made, it was made using hand held cameras and from what I can remember of The Bill's article, I may be able to nick the reference from there. Other than that it would all count as original research because there is literally 0 refs for it. The one I was going to include, is the one of Jasmine telling Mickey that she is going to give a statement, she looks almost defeated and quite beaten up. I'd always take a few anyway in case the one of Jack gets deleted for whatever reason.
Speaking of Jack, yeah he could do with his own article and it could probably do with a lot of expansion as well. I mean he was in The Bill for 21 years, compare his article to that of Lauren Branning or even Abi Branning who have been in EastEnders for 4!!
Oh and AWB still ain't working for me. No idea what's wrong with it. Someone did tell me to manually extract files to get it working but I wouldn't have a clue how to do that so I've had to fire my query off to User:Reedy before I give up fully :(
Frickactive, can we also use YouTube then? Not sure if the documentary is on there but it might be worth a look. I know it's on ITV Player though --5 albert square (talk) 23:23, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
You can't actually link to it on YouTube for copyright reasons (I think, anyway!), but if you fill out the ref like:
  • Kim Duke (director), Martin Kemp (narrator) (31 August 2010). Farewell 'The Bill' (Television production). London: Talkback Thames. Retrieved 6 September 2010.
...then that should be adequate for use as a source. To aid verification, you could use that as a general reference, and cite particular quotes and their approximate time in the documentary to back up your information. Frickative 23:43, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Brilliant! Ta! Get working on that tomorrow :) --5 albert square (talk) 23:46, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with that article awhile ago, was having a hard time finding the non vandalized version. Bobby122 Contact Me (C) 01:36, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

That's ok, if you're meaning the Justin Bieber song page then I've requested semi-protection of it as that did seem quite a lot of unhelpful edits within just a few minutes of each other --5 albert square (talk) 01:39, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I was surprised at all of those edits. It's been protected now. Bobby122 Contact Me (C) 01:43, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Mort Mills

What you reverted on Mort Mills was not vandalism. I was just trying to move his birth and death date to the bottom where personal info goes, and add a small amount of some helpful content. I think with all his credits, it might be a mis-statement to say that he was "best known" for a bit part in a movie, no matter how popular that movie is. Also, you reversed a small italics correction on a title. 71.130.241.56 (talk) 19:28, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

CDR

I think the Corel Draw edit may have been an attempt at constructive editing by someone who was pretty clueless. I've tried to make the appropriate edit to CDR Susfele (talk) 01:32, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, believe it or not though the reason I marked it as an unhelpful edit is because half the edit was in a foreign language! --5 albert square (talk) 21:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

You just select the .zip file from the file manager and you get an option to open it with later versions of windows as if it were a folder. If you can't do that find "winzip" on the web. Rich Farmbrough, 19:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC).

Hey thanks for that, managed to get it working now, dunno how though! Will keep that advice for later though --5 albert square (talk) 20:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi 4 albert square. All the things I removed were the advertising material added by User:Copo22.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 22:05, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

File:Nicholas Cage.jpg

Confused, what's the problem with this image? There's neither source nor license, but I don't see how a simple photograph is vandalism. Nyttend (talk) 22:25, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Well it's got 'twat' written on his forehead which I thought would be vandalism for a start. Plus the user has been doing nothing but vandalising Nicolas Cage's article and he's using that photo as part of it --5 albert square (talk) 22:28, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Oh, okay; I took it to be a photo of the guy with that written on his head; you mean you think that it's digitally manipulated? Nyttend (talk) 22:45, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
I think it is. It really wouldn't surprise me. If you look at Nicolas Cage's article all this person has done tonight is to vandalise it calling Mr Cage a twat amongst other things. I think that the photo was deliberately altered and uploaded to Wikipedia simply to vandalise the article, that's why I marked it as vandalism. Sorry, should have made that clearer but I didn't know how --5 albert square (talk) 22:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

No worries, I hadn't heard of the guy before tonight either! I was just about to mark it for CSD when I had the wise idea of searching on Google under his whole name and that's when things popped up lol. I've edited the article quite a bit and tidied it up, dunno if it will save it but it's worth a shot :). Thanks again for reinstating it --5 albert square (talk) 23:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

According to our Hev, that would be a match made in heaven. Rather like her and a certain George Michael. Though she don't seem to mention him as much since the yoghurt lid incident! --5 albert square (talk) 00:30, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
She mentions him all the time, named her kid after him and continues to listen to his music... but if she met Mr Strings she'd eat him and he'd be dead! AnemoneProjectors 01:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
But she doesn't rave on about him to the same extent! I wonder what the real life person makes of it all! --5 albert square (talk) 01:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry for having deleted the entire content from the I7 destination article. I suggest the article be deleted because I7 does not fly anywhere now.

Problem I don't really know what to do about

You have made some constructive edits to Frank Guinta so I am hoping you can give some advice. A new IP showed up last night to make multiple edits whose sum was to bring the article back to almost the exact state desired by a recently banned-for-edit-warring IP. The new IP's comments on the talk page are also in tone and content like the old IP's comments, angrily accusing others of bias while ignoring Wikipedia policies such as WP:RS, WP:SYNTHESIS, and of course WP:NPA. Is it possible for Checkuser to detect if these two are the same person? Also, can you suggest any way to motivate this person to make constructive edits instead of repeatedly trying to put the page back into its former state, which was larded with unsourced praise for the candidate it describes? betsythedevine (talk) 11:21, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi!
You can certainly request Checkuser to detect if the two IPs are the same, however it is down to Checkuser whether or not the requests are granted. I would suggest that you read Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser which should tell you whether or not such a request is likely to be accepted or rejected and what to include in your report. You can request Checkuser at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations.
If you've tried to open a discussion on the articles talk page about recent edits and that's not worked then you could ask for a third opinion or even request comments and get opinions from neutral third party editors. If all else fails then you could try arbitration.
Hope this helps, if you need any further help feel free to ask! --5 albert square (talk) 21:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Pretty obvious, IP blocked for 1 week.—Kww(talk) 22:16, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

As Kww said it is a candidate for WP:DUCK. It seems that they've both been blocked. The old IP was blocked by HJ Mitchell while the new one was blocked by Kww. Hope I helped in some way. Mr. R00t Talk 22:23, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, and thanks to all who took a look at this problem. I hope the mystery editor, when he returns, will find some better plan of engaging with Wikipedia, such as finding WP:RS for claims he wants the bio to include. betsythedevine (talk) 12:56, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Argh!

I'm in twitter jail and can't let anyone know - apart from you cos you're here. Can't even say goodnight to everyone. Shouldn't use this to communicate but... what the hell. It'll be a few hours before I can tweet again now, so will have to go to bed! As for Courteney and David - wouldn't it be obvious that if they're trending topics, they've split up? lol AnemoneProjectors 01:14, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Hahahaha!! Internal Server error? Been getting them all flipping night lol! As for Courteney and David, yes I know now that they're splitting up but when I saw the trending topic I didn't! Only found out cos I took a wrong click on Wikipedia and somehow went to Courteney's page lol! --5 albert square (talk) 01:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
No, gone over the tweet limit because of all the song lyrics I was posting. That's never happened to me before. I can still send Direct Messages though. If you ever wonder why someone is trending, it's usually because they're in the news. Especially when both of them are! I'd have worked it out. Anyway, I'll stop using Wikipedia to chat and go to bed :-) AnemoneProjectors 01:23, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Twitter has a limit? Never come across it before myself! Oh I know, I'm just not paying attention lol --5 albert square (talk) 01:52, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
That's because you don't tweet much. It's never happened to me before, but last night some of my tweets were apperently being sent multiple times because of the internal server error, and I've only just found out. AnemoneProjectors 11:39, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Stacey's talk

HI, always nice to see your handle around the place (which I do a lot)! There are a bunch of templates that are supposed to be always substituted, {{Unsigned}} is one of these. It rarely gets used these days, because SineBot takes care of that side of things, so this was a catch-up exercise, that is now complete for article talk pages. The change of banner name is something that has been building up over the last couple of years. All but 5 of the 1283 project banners (!) are now at WikiProject <Blah blah>, including the 'Stenders one. So changing them when we get an automated edit on a talk page is just a bonus - not as useful where there is jus t one WikiProject, but some pages have quite a stack, and a lot of the old names are not obviously banners.

Reported edit to oversight, so it won't exist for long. HalfShadow 20:59, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I was just wondering good sir

I edited a page about Bruce Willis, which inquired as to why his page is unprotected if other pages such as Lil'Waynes wikipage are. It makes no sense why his page is protected when people may actually not like him, but people do like Bruce Willis. This protected page thing seems to go to people who gain negative vandalism as apposed to people who are liked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.109.34.50 (talk) 20:42, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes that's right, pages that have been vandalised are protected. Pages that are not vandalised are unprotected. Simon Cowell for example is semi-protected indefinitely (I know he is because I requested it!) which means that IPs like yourselves can't edit the page, you have to request the edit via the articles talk page and the article will remain like that probably for a long time yet. I don't know about Bruce Willis' page as I don't watch it but I'm guessing there's been no recent significant vandalism to it otherwise someone would have requested it's protection. By the way, the comment that you posted on his page should have been posted on the talk page at Talk:Bruce Willis. Hope this helps --5 albert square (talk) 20:54, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

GOCE copy edit drive

Greetings, the Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue.

Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page.

Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

Awards and barnstars

A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive!

i'm just confused. the page was fine until i made the mistake of adding categories (like it asks me to) and now the whole page is littered with warnings and deletions.

the page had been as it was for many months until i made the mistake today of trying to improve it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Delitist (talk • contribs) 01:20, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey :)
I tagged the page because when I looked at it, it just seemed very long and confusing, almost written like an essay which is why I suggested that it is re-written in less of an essay format to make it easier for people to understand.
I also tagged it to request that it is broken down into sections as that will make it easier for people to understand the article.
I hope this helps you understand. Any questions feel free to ask. --5 albert square (talk) 01:30, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
