Both 220 of Borg and Jeffro77 have edits on my talk page. From Jeffro77's user page, they say they are species 5618. How cool is to have species 5618 and their enemies, the Borg on my talk page. Geekgasm alert. The Borg has designated my species, Wikipedia admin, as 666. The Borg will not assimilate us as it will not help in their goal of obtaining perfection.

Hey I added the sections to create a more substantial article. Instead of deleting please just change the references as necessary. Thank you, given the subject is a very personal one for a lot of people rather then press revert edit the page. This would allow people to recognize a modern world problem that's really not different from the other pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgbug3 ( talk • contribs) 02:54, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Your bot has made some strange edits to article Trerice on 03:12, 13 May 2015 which has resulted in several external links in refs being hidden. Where previously a ref was "See[External link]", your bot appears to have changed it to "[External link See]", which gave the result "See". (the word "See" was placed in front of the ext link to stop bot messages highlighting a bare URL). Please look at the reflist for the article. This is a problem which I would be grateful if you would address, thanks.( Lobsterthermidor ( talk) 11:50, 18 May 2015 (UTC))

Hello. I just thought I should say make sure that you do not break anything with AWB. You seem to have made an odd edit on 2014 International Champions Cup that only broke the table on the page. The edit did not seem to do anything other than break the table and change the title to a perfectly fine reference. Not a huge deal, but just be careful in the future. Try previewing the page when doing more technical actions like that. Thanks. SAJ (T) 20:44, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
A new user and their sock are running amok on Manhattan, mass-deleting stuff, edit-warring, and pretending to actually be at war with each other. I posted a notice on Malik Shabazz's talk page over an hour ago, but like nearly every other admin in Christendom, he is AFK. Care to look and block them? The two accounts don't merit going through normal channels (have both been warned hours ago) because he is so obvious. I promise you they are the same person.

Please explain how a redirect to a disambiguation page is a "redirect to itself". I am trying to understand why a redlink seems to be the preferred option. I was advised earlier that such a redirect is the desired option because the disambiguation page contains information about the actor, which is better for the average reader since the redlink points nowhere. Thank you in advance for your input. EauZenCashHaveIt ( I'm All Ears) 17:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi BGWhite. Please would you give me instructions as to where I can learn the best way to make this table respond to readers' screen size. Thanks, Eddaido ( talk) 09:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
Dear Bgwhite
You were warmly recommended to me by
Dontreader.
He said that in the past you'd helped him a lot and I hope that finally my issue will be fixed.
I wrote an article about a band named
Stormy Atmosphere (the link to the article is in the title)
It was declined many times since I am a beginner in my Wiki journey, but people like Dontreader helped me a lot and I learned my lessons.
So I resubmitted my article again almost a month ago, meanwhile it's still waiting for approval, and I think that other articles get before him for some reason, because I had less than a 1000 articles before mine two weeks ago and now it's more than 1300 (!)
I contacted FoCuSandLeArN - the moderator who asked me about the article , and he says that if the band hasn't been in a chart it's not notable and the article will be declined...
Can I get another opinion somehow?
Please don't get me wrong, but as far as I've checked, being in a chart is not the only notability criteria for a band.
For instance, I believe if a band is signed up in a label from another country is enough for notability, right?
(Please check the [
metalscraprecords.com] website, a cd section - Stormy Atmosphere are already signed there, and the album "Pent Letters" will be out soon under the label promotion.)
Moreover, Stormy Atmosphere has enough proofs of existence and proofs of performances hand-to-hand with world-famous artists (
Mike Terrana,
Pain of Salvation,
Andromeda,
The Flower Kings), and have an album where a famous singer participates (
Tom Englund). Besides, I believe that "Fireworks" magazine is independent enough, and they did write about the band in 2009 (the reference to the magazine is in the article: Baldrian, Nicky (8 October 2009). "The music is out there". Fireworks (37): 88.)
Again, don't get me wrong, but for almost a year I find myself having this conversation again and again with many Wiki moderators, and finally they do agree that Stormy Atmosphere deserves being mentioned, but then the article goes to another moderator and I got to explain everything from the beginning...
Thank you for your time and please consider my persistence, I'll be much obliged for your help

Dear Bgwhite,
Please inform me if you had time to check the article, I can't wait to receive an answer about it. Thanks a lot!
I spoke to
FoCuSandLeArN, but he doesn't want to accept any proofs and says that all my references are too minor for him. I'm stuck again and you guys are the only people to help me with this never-ending "saga"...
Another thing: there is some weird line that appeared in my article (
Dontreader noticed that too),
and I would like to know if it's something important, or pasted accidentally by one of the moderators, and - maybe that's the reason the article approval is delayed...
That's the line:
" Sailor|declinets=20150309002950|ts=20150303164456}} "
And another thing: The band officially informed that they were signed up at [
metalscraprecords.com], and their second album Pent Letters will be officially released worldwide at September 2015 - will it help if I add this to the article?
Thanks a lot,

I believe there is nothing to worry then, if there're some references that seem okay to you guys, and I really bet a lot on the Fireworks magazine reference, since it's a well-known paper.
About moving it to Articles section - won't I be punished by some raging Wiki editor with some forever-deleting? After all this long-term saga of being declined, I'd like to go as straight as possible... How does it work best?

Hello Bgwhite, This is my first article and I have just figured out how to contact you so please bear with me. You have deleted my article titled "Darren Woolley" due to a G12 copyright infringement. This article is about Darren Woolley, the CEO of TrintyP3.com. The information in question is about Darren and I have permission from Darren to use it. It is a paraphrased paragraph about his early work life. I don't know how to rewrite this information without mentioning where he started his career. I have also cited his "about Darren Woolley" page on the TrinityP3 website as the source. Can you please give me some direction as to how I can restore this page without having to worry about any further deletions? Much appreciated. Hpe3121 ( talk) 07:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Thank you Bgwhite. This is a big help. I will follow your advice and get back to you when I have updated the article in the Sandbox. Very much appreciated! Hpe3121 ( talk) 07:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello Bgwhite, I worked in the Sandbox and cited all the references as you suggested. Please check my page in the Sandbox to ensure it is ok to cut and paste to my article page - "Darren Woolley".
Also, I don't know why, but when I cut and pasted from the Sandbox to the 'Darren Woolley' page the last time, something weird happened and the page looked horrible. If I have the same issue, can I call on you to help me with this?
Copyright infringement issue
The copyright infringement issue was flagged from this page - http://www.trinityp3.com/people/management-team/darren-woolley/
ie =>Darren Woolley started his working life as a scientist at the Royal Children’s Hospital Neuropathology Laboratory in Melbourne, Australia, undertaking research in myopathies, neuropathies, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Repetitive Strain Injury.
I rewrote it (below) but it is still contains several of the same nouns which can't be helped. It's a tough one. Is this ok? At the beginning of his career, Woolley worked at the Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital Neuropathology Laboratory, Australia, as a scientist under Dr Xenia Dennett. The research Woolley carried out was on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Repetitive Strain Injury, neuropathies and myopathies.

Ok, thanks - good advice. I have added the correct ISBN to the 2014 book. Still waiting on the 2013 ISBN. Is the reference for the first of the last 2 paragraphs in the "Early Working Life and Career" section not good. Would it be better to remove the statements if I can't find a suitable reference? Also, if I removed the 2013 book until I get the ISBN (and the statements), would it be OK to publish it? Basically, what more would I need to do to publish it asap? Thanks again, this has been a big learning curve for me. Hpe3121 ( talk) 08:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you please explain why you have marked the 2015 Speedway World Cup Final, 2015 Speedway World Cup Race-off and 2015 Speedway World Cup Event 2 pages for speedy deletion. Similar pages exist for every Speedway World Cup from 2001 to 2013, so why are these allowed if 2015 is not?

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Hi Bgwhite. Thanks for tidying the gallery on the Shirley, Southampton article. Unfortunately it needs the linebreak to make the gallery display correctly when the captions are different lengths. The problem seems to arise when the shortest caption ends up on the right hand side of the screen, so you wouldn't necessarily see it on every screen. If you know of a better solution, please go ahead and implement it. It's just occurred to me, as I type this, that rearranging the gallery to put the shortest caption first may work so if you don't have another idea, I'll try that. Regards, Northernhenge ( talk) 20:09, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
{{
gallery}}
, it affects the whole gallery; if you use the <gallery>...</gallery>
tags, the images flow around the obstruction, as seen at
User:Redrose64#Images - notice how the userboxes reduces the number of images on the first row by 1, but the second is full-width. I fixed it at
Shirley, Southampton by adding {{
clear}}
to force the top of the gallery to be below the bottom of the last non-gallery image. --

When I first made the gallery, it looked like this:
XXXXX X XXX
I eventually guessed that the problem was caused by the caption on The Salisbury Arms. The ones before it are two lines long. So I added an HTML line break to the Salisbury Arms and sure enough it came out like this:
XXXXX XXXX
Bgwhite then edited the page to remove the linebreak and of course the problem came back. I asked on this (Bgwhite's) talk page if there was a better solution than my inelegant linebreak which Bgwhite had deleted (and I reverted the deletion for now) hence this discussion. I don't think the clear template solved it because if I now remove the break, the incorrect layout comes back. Now it is late and my internet is on a go-slow so I'll be away for a few hours but thanks to both of you for your help. it's a bit of a mystery. -- Northernhenge ( talk) 23:40, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

05:32, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Hi there, you claimed I deleted 3/4 of a reference for no reason and that it messed up another ref. But actually as you might see there are two similar links to the same dead link. And they weren't grouped. I found this out after I ran checklinks. So what I did was, I fixed one of those broken links and named it as "avrev" and removed the duplicated link and used previously assigned ref name to cite that dead article again. That way I didn't have to unnecessarily fix both links that lead to the same dead article. If you search the article for
http://www.avclub.com/content/node/49481
you will come up 2 matches with both named "avrev" as you've reverted my edit. I wonder what's wrong with just using <ref name="avrev"/>
to cite the same grouped ref, which leads to the exact same article which is now broken due to your edit. Thanks --

Hello Bgwhite, could you tell me why you reverted my edits to Kilamuwa Stela made on June 30th 2015? All I did was to update the dead link in the "External links" section to a working one and to format the translation and transcription to have them side by side. The content was not modified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RiseOfTheAnts ( talk • contribs) 21:02, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey I added the sections to create a more substantial article. Instead of deleting please just change the references as necessary. Thank you, given the subject is a very personal one for a lot of people rather then press revert edit the page. This would allow people to recognize a modern world problem that's really not different from the other pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgbug3 ( talk • contribs) 02:54, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Your bot has made some strange edits to article Trerice on 03:12, 13 May 2015 which has resulted in several external links in refs being hidden. Where previously a ref was "See[External link]", your bot appears to have changed it to "[External link See]", which gave the result "See". (the word "See" was placed in front of the ext link to stop bot messages highlighting a bare URL). Please look at the reflist for the article. This is a problem which I would be grateful if you would address, thanks.( Lobsterthermidor ( talk) 11:50, 18 May 2015 (UTC))

Hello. I just thought I should say make sure that you do not break anything with AWB. You seem to have made an odd edit on 2014 International Champions Cup that only broke the table on the page. The edit did not seem to do anything other than break the table and change the title to a perfectly fine reference. Not a huge deal, but just be careful in the future. Try previewing the page when doing more technical actions like that. Thanks. SAJ (T) 20:44, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
A new user and their sock are running amok on Manhattan, mass-deleting stuff, edit-warring, and pretending to actually be at war with each other. I posted a notice on Malik Shabazz's talk page over an hour ago, but like nearly every other admin in Christendom, he is AFK. Care to look and block them? The two accounts don't merit going through normal channels (have both been warned hours ago) because he is so obvious. I promise you they are the same person.

Please explain how a redirect to a disambiguation page is a "redirect to itself". I am trying to understand why a redlink seems to be the preferred option. I was advised earlier that such a redirect is the desired option because the disambiguation page contains information about the actor, which is better for the average reader since the redlink points nowhere. Thank you in advance for your input. EauZenCashHaveIt ( I'm All Ears) 17:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi BGWhite. Please would you give me instructions as to where I can learn the best way to make this table respond to readers' screen size. Thanks, Eddaido ( talk) 09:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
Dear Bgwhite
You were warmly recommended to me by
Dontreader.
He said that in the past you'd helped him a lot and I hope that finally my issue will be fixed.
I wrote an article about a band named
Stormy Atmosphere (the link to the article is in the title)
It was declined many times since I am a beginner in my Wiki journey, but people like Dontreader helped me a lot and I learned my lessons.
So I resubmitted my article again almost a month ago, meanwhile it's still waiting for approval, and I think that other articles get before him for some reason, because I had less than a 1000 articles before mine two weeks ago and now it's more than 1300 (!)
I contacted FoCuSandLeArN - the moderator who asked me about the article , and he says that if the band hasn't been in a chart it's not notable and the article will be declined...
Can I get another opinion somehow?
Please don't get me wrong, but as far as I've checked, being in a chart is not the only notability criteria for a band.
For instance, I believe if a band is signed up in a label from another country is enough for notability, right?
(Please check the [
metalscraprecords.com] website, a cd section - Stormy Atmosphere are already signed there, and the album "Pent Letters" will be out soon under the label promotion.)
Moreover, Stormy Atmosphere has enough proofs of existence and proofs of performances hand-to-hand with world-famous artists (
Mike Terrana,
Pain of Salvation,
Andromeda,
The Flower Kings), and have an album where a famous singer participates (
Tom Englund). Besides, I believe that "Fireworks" magazine is independent enough, and they did write about the band in 2009 (the reference to the magazine is in the article: Baldrian, Nicky (8 October 2009). "The music is out there". Fireworks (37): 88.)
Again, don't get me wrong, but for almost a year I find myself having this conversation again and again with many Wiki moderators, and finally they do agree that Stormy Atmosphere deserves being mentioned, but then the article goes to another moderator and I got to explain everything from the beginning...
Thank you for your time and please consider my persistence, I'll be much obliged for your help

Dear Bgwhite,
Please inform me if you had time to check the article, I can't wait to receive an answer about it. Thanks a lot!
I spoke to
FoCuSandLeArN, but he doesn't want to accept any proofs and says that all my references are too minor for him. I'm stuck again and you guys are the only people to help me with this never-ending "saga"...
Another thing: there is some weird line that appeared in my article (
Dontreader noticed that too),
and I would like to know if it's something important, or pasted accidentally by one of the moderators, and - maybe that's the reason the article approval is delayed...
That's the line:
" Sailor|declinets=20150309002950|ts=20150303164456}} "
And another thing: The band officially informed that they were signed up at [
metalscraprecords.com], and their second album Pent Letters will be officially released worldwide at September 2015 - will it help if I add this to the article?
Thanks a lot,
Silverray123 (

I believe there is nothing to worry then, if there're some references that seem okay to you guys, and I really bet a lot on the Fireworks magazine reference, since it's a well-known paper.
About moving it to Articles section - won't I be punished by some raging Wiki editor with some forever-deleting? After all this long-term saga of being declined, I'd like to go as straight as possible... How does it work best?

Hello Bgwhite, This is my first article and I have just figured out how to contact you so please bear with me. You have deleted my article titled "Darren Woolley" due to a G12 copyright infringement. This article is about Darren Woolley, the CEO of TrintyP3.com. The information in question is about Darren and I have permission from Darren to use it. It is a paraphrased paragraph about his early work life. I don't know how to rewrite this information without mentioning where he started his career. I have also cited his "about Darren Woolley" page on the TrinityP3 website as the source. Can you please give me some direction as to how I can restore this page without having to worry about any further deletions? Much appreciated. Hpe3121 ( talk) 07:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Thank you Bgwhite. This is a big help. I will follow your advice and get back to you when I have updated the article in the Sandbox. Very much appreciated! Hpe3121 ( talk) 07:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello Bgwhite, I worked in the Sandbox and cited all the references as you suggested. Please check my page in the Sandbox to ensure it is ok to cut and paste to my article page - "Darren Woolley".
Also, I don't know why, but when I cut and pasted from the Sandbox to the 'Darren Woolley' page the last time, something weird happened and the page looked horrible. If I have the same issue, can I call on you to help me with this?
Copyright infringement issue
The copyright infringement issue was flagged from this page - http://www.trinityp3.com/people/management-team/darren-woolley/
ie =>Darren Woolley started his working life as a scientist at the Royal Children’s Hospital Neuropathology Laboratory in Melbourne, Australia, undertaking research in myopathies, neuropathies, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Repetitive Strain Injury.
I rewrote it (below) but it is still contains several of the same nouns which can't be helped. It's a tough one. Is this ok? At the beginning of his career, Woolley worked at the Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital Neuropathology Laboratory, Australia, as a scientist under Dr Xenia Dennett. The research Woolley carried out was on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Repetitive Strain Injury, neuropathies and myopathies.

Ok, thanks - good advice. I have added the correct ISBN to the 2014 book. Still waiting on the 2013 ISBN. Is the reference for the first of the last 2 paragraphs in the "Early Working Life and Career" section not good. Would it be better to remove the statements if I can't find a suitable reference? Also, if I removed the 2013 book until I get the ISBN (and the statements), would it be OK to publish it? Basically, what more would I need to do to publish it asap? Thanks again, this has been a big learning curve for me. Hpe3121 ( talk) 08:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Similar pages exist for every Speedway World Cup from 2001 to 2013, so why are these allowed if 2015 is not?

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Hi Bgwhite. Thanks for tidying the gallery on the Shirley, Southampton article. Unfortunately it needs the linebreak to make the gallery display correctly when the captions are different lengths. The problem seems to arise when the shortest caption ends up on the right hand side of the screen, so you wouldn't necessarily see it on every screen. If you know of a better solution, please go ahead and implement it. It's just occurred to me, as I type this, that rearranging the gallery to put the shortest caption first may work so if you don't have another idea, I'll try that.

User:Redrose64#Images - notice how the userboxes reduces the number of images on the first row by 1, but the second is full-width. I fixed it at
Shirley, Southampton by adding {{
clear}}
to force the top of the gallery to be below the bottom of the last non-gallery image. --

When I first made the gallery, it looked like this:
XXXXX X XXX
I eventually guessed that the problem was caused by the caption on The Salisbury Arms. The ones before it are two lines long. So I added an HTML line break to the Salisbury Arms and sure enough it came out like this:
XXXXX XXXX
Bgwhite then edited the page to remove the linebreak and of course the problem came back. I asked on this (Bgwhite's) talk page if there was a better solution than my inelegant linebreak which Bgwhite had deleted (and I reverted the deletion for now) hence this discussion. I don't think the clear template solved it because if I now remove the break, the incorrect layout comes back. Now it is late and my internet is on a go-slow so I'll be away for a few hours but thanks to both of you for your help. it's a bit of a mystery. -- Northernhenge ( talk) 23:40, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
<gallery>
tag instead of the gallery template. The gallery template has a "bug" that is causing the problem. I redid the article to use the tag instead.

perrow=5
attribute, which makes the assumption that the user's screen is wide enough for five images but not for six. If their screen is too narrow for five, the attribute is ignored, but if it's wide enough for six, only five per row are displayed. Did you try it without that attribute? --

05:32, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Hi there, you claimed I deleted 3/4 of a reference for no reason and that it messed up another ref. But actually as you might see there are two similar links to the same dead link. And they weren't grouped. I found this out after I ran checklinks. So what I did was, I fixed one of those broken links and named it as "avrev" and removed the duplicated link and used previously assigned ref name to cite that dead article again. That way I didn't have to unnecessarily fix both links that lead to the same dead article. If you search the article for
http://www.avclub.com/content/node/49481
you will come up 2 matches with both named "avrev" as you've reverted my edit. I wonder what's wrong with just using <ref name="avrev"/>
to cite the same grouped ref, which leads to the exact same article which is now broken due to your edit. Thanks --

Hello Bgwhite, could you tell me why you reverted my edits to Kilamuwa Stela made on June 30th 2015? All I did was to update the dead link in the "External links" section to a working one and to format the translation and transcription to have them side by side. The content was not modified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RiseOfTheAnts ( talk • contribs) 21:02, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
