What is the decision regarding state forest stubs and state park stubs? — Fingers-of-Pyrex 02:17, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm awful sorry for the damages caused with my cut-and-paste editions. As you can see, I'm a beginner here!. I was trying to put a little order in the category Catalonia, and I have created a "Geography of Catalonia" category. Changing categorization, some articles were pasted with a generical geo-stub. (Not all them).
I'll try to continue this work more accurately.
Your proposal of creating a "Catalonia-related stub" sounds pretty. It's possible, for an article, have more than a stub?, or this should be useful only for new ones? -- Joan sense nick 12:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for your help. Just one question: wich is the difference between "Country-related stubs" and "Country stubs"? I picked up "Catalonia-related ..." from Category:Stubs by region, where there are examples in both styles. And... Are you waiting me to rename the category?, or better you'll do that? -- Joan sense nick 00:10, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
OK. I'll not increase the size of this category till the rename process ends. --

This is just my opinion, but I think that stubs of historical provinces of Japan shouldn't be categorized into present-day prefectures but rather, left in the old japan-geo-stub category. Thanks for all of your work on categorizing the new stubs!

Thanks for updating our stub tags. Sorry if I caused you a problem by adding the wrong one as you were changing them. -- Scott Davis Talk 12:03, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
It's fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.-- Cyberjunkie | Talk 13:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't realise the suburb stub was going to be deleted. Consider my rv null and void. Garglebutt / (talk) 05:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey, the Japan geo-stub sorting is finished. I quickly scanned Category:Japan geography stubs and caught a few more articles that slipped by. There may be a few more stray ones, but for all intents and purposes - c'est fini. Now what do I do? :-) Mindmatrix 02:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Had no idea my experiments were getting picked up as stubs. So, thank you! Joaquin Murietta 14:10, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, I know I was jumping the gun a bit. But I figure these are routine and uncontroversial enough that fast tracking is appropriate - there's a difference between proposing new splits (which needs discussion) and carrying forward with the implementation of an existing split (which already has been).
Btw, have been thinking about what to do with some of the tiny counties. Considering historical relations (both traditional and otherwise), we could possibly combine Rutland in with Leicestershire, Isle of Wight in with Hampshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and Bristol in with Gloucestershire. I don't see some of those being viable individually otherwise, but it would be a shame to have them cluttering up the England root. Morwen - Talk 06:54, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Grutness! Can I go ahead and create {{ JW-stub}}? I didn't get a clear okay on the proposals page; I suppose it got lost in the sea of others. ;) -- K. AKA Konrad West TALK 05:26, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
You listed several redirects to stub templates on WP:SFD. However, these are simply redirects, not stub types, and should be handled through WP:RFD. -- SPUI ( talk) 00:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Cripes! Thanks! I hadn't realised I'd made such a mess withmissing out or mucking up me stubs! Thanks again, will try do better. Hope the arts are passable!! vcxlor 00:41, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, seeing I have an interest in localities that are on old railway line routes, such as the Eastern railway locations - I have been putting the rail stubs, the wa geo stubs, and if they're in the metro area (dont let me start that one) i usually remember to put the perth stubs as well. as I am also a really enthusiastic western tasmania freak - what does one do about trying to get a 'western tasmania' stub? I rarely read wiki info files properly so there's probably an answer somewhere but I though i;d ask. is it the tassie admins or what vcxlor 00:51, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks - yeah I suppose if snotty and a few others get carried away with wa locations at some point the wa geo stub might get overloaded... :) but yeah, even if i and others rip the index of a gazzetteer for west tas, it would never get to the volume of a wa one! thanks again. have a good day vcxlor 01:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
User:SPUI has been recreating it again. And accusing me of "blanking" it. Care to keep an eye on it? (I've also discussed it with Wikiacc at their talkpage, and they also think it should be kept deleted until VFU'd) - Mairi 02:05, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi there. I notice that Template:Substub has a variant of {{ deletedpage}} stuck on it, and was listed by you on Wikipedia:Protected page; however, it's not actually protected. Is this intentional, or an oversight? — Cryptic (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for the info you've given me. I'm so sorry if I made incorrect changes, I don't want actually to give problems. I haven't noticed that new subject-stubs should be proposed first in those page, next time I will do it. Cheers. -- Joanot Martorell ✉ 07:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
The reason I piped the cat link at the Scotland geo stub was to get the Template to appear first in the list of articles, otherwise it is buried under the letter "T". If this causes ancillary problems then clearly better to just link to the Template directly in the intro. Lordy some people are sensitive: it is actually impossible to get a geographical (as opposed to political) map of Scotland that does not include bits of England or Ireland. Eg have a look at the BBC weather map of the British Isles: do the Norwegian or Belgian govts complain that the UK is trying to claim their territory? Nope. Can we not find a nice image that represents Scottish geography: a U-shaped glen, a loch, a river, a cliff, a mountain, forest, tree?-- Mais oui! 11:45, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Lookin good!-- Mais oui! 12:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Only just aware of this rather potentially explodable stub, is there anyway it can be split, or do you have to weight (oops) wait till its overweight? I mean I could put all the Tassie Hydro Dams, Snowy Dams, Melbourne, Sydney and the rest in here, along with bridges and things and we'd be up with the USA county arts (oh how I grieve when I do random search and find 1,000's of locations in the usa that don't have a single reference to the fact that they are in the usa) anyways, just thought I'd ask.
on the other subject, surely some clever cookie could bring the whole wikisystem down by running a bot on usa locations to insert "usa"? ( there must be 10,000 + locations and items that have no country identifier) vcxlor 15:35, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
So, I couldn't help noticing this (addition of category), and I was just wondering: are you sure? :-) Mindmatrix 17:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for that stub clarification. Im a long time user of wikipedia but I just started contributing to today, so I haven't quite got the swing of things.
Chemturion 00:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I was looking though the list and I saw no stub catagories for scientific or medical journals. I was wonder where I should put a medical journal. I was thinking putting it under magazine-stub and also medicine-stub, but I'm unsure.

Hi Grutness, thanks for your support on my RfA! Rob e rt 15:56, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your support on my nomination for adminship. Now that I have been made an admin, I will do my best to live up to the truest you and the community have placed in me. If you ever see my doing something you think is incorrect or questionable, or does not live up to the standards that should be expected of an admin, please let me know. DES (talk) 15:40, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Grutness, I really appreciate your support of my current RfA, however I do want to point out that you have been so supportive of me as to vote twice! You're currently listed at spots #2 and #22. I'm glad to see you have such confidence in me, but I figured you might want to know you'd accidentally voted twice. Thanks again for your support! Best regards, Ëvilphoenix Burn! 13:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks again! :) One question so far: where do SFD decisions to rename get logged (particularly if that was the original proposal)? Previous ones look like they're mostly in the Deleted log, but it isn't that clear... -- Mairi 20:04, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my nomination. I certainly hope you are right and that it is indeed mop time. I will do my best to do right by the wet mass on a stick! Qaz ( talk) 00:30, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support - my bid (as you probably know) went swimmingly. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you very much and I just hope I don't mess up! I hope also to do some more stub work again soonish so I'm sure well bump into eachother there if not elsewhere. All the best! -- Cel e stianpower hablamé 12:25, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Grutness! Just wanted to thank you for supporting my RfA. I hope I will be able to live up to the confidence placed in me. And thanks also for the compliments - it's great to know one's appreciated . Happy editing, -- Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:09, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
A generous offer, but I'd prefer to wait a few months more myself. I know me, and me tends to get involved, then me gets over-involved, then me either goes GAFIA or me reaches an equilibrium at a maintainable level. I know that me hasn't yet reached that last state, and so I, on behalf of me, shall decline your offer for now while reserving the possibility that me shall slap I upside the head sometime and decide to agree for you to nominate me. Caerwine 15:17, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship. It was successful thanks to you. I will strive to an open, approachable and transparent administrator. Now back to the cricket I hope we kick your butts tonight :-)-- Jcw69 18:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Grutness, thanks for passing the message about my block to Phroziac. This situation was certainly rather humourous, and perhaps tells me I should find some non-computer hobby. :-) Mindmatrix 21:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Drini & I blocked an IP earlier for vandalism (202.180.83.6), and I wanted to let you know because that is the same IP that I blocked a couple of months back and ended up accidentally autoblocking you. The block is set to expire in an hour, but I didn't want you to have any problems. -- Essjay · Talk 01:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
A thought: My knowledge of the technical side of the wiki is minimal (to say the least), but surely someone with tech skills would be able to work out how to block anons from an IP without blocking registered users...? Grutness... wha? 10:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm blocking the anon again, for an(other) hour. - jredmond 20:22, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I know this doesn't help, but I feel your pain... Mindmatrix 01:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I have been for some time thinking about making a patch to MediaWiki to add a new user flag. Users with that flag would be exempt from all IP blocks, both direct and autoblocks (but would still be affected by blocks on the user itself). It would be perfect for your situation. However, I am not sure that hack would be accepted. -- cesarb 01:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Yes. Hopefully. Well, at least we're not blocked now... :S ... Super Saiyan Plough 01:45, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
It's off-topic on the AfD page (and I probably shouldn't've asked there in the first place), so I think I'll respond here. You said:
I (a Victorian) suspected you might say that. This seems to be a misconception from people "up north"—but it quite patently is false. If you said charnce, I'd pick you as a New Zealander, South Australian or British. If you said chornce, I'd pick you as a South African. Victorians all say 'chance' with the pants vowel (except those who speak Cultivated Australian—but that's a non-regional accent and found in other states and cities at least as often as in Victoria and Melbourne). The same applies to the national anthem (though I have a habit of sometimes singing something more like Udvarnce Ostrairlya Fair /advaːns ɔstreːljə feː/, but that's because my last school took singing and fake British accents used in such situations rather serious).

What is going on there? I noticed during SP-patrol that you have blanked this page and I can't see why. (Nor I can see any reason to ever blank a Wikipedia page...) jni 05:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Maybe I explained myself badly, my contention is not that some flags with the tricolore in canton do not exist. my point is that
1- 2 of those he mention do not exist (plain green and red) 2- those who do exist were not used in the same way as the british (blue is for governor general, not a state ensign)

Hi, I pretty much knew AFD was not the ideal place for talking about Meditative art but what is? I didn't really think it was a dispute, so the dispute resolution path seemed innappropriate, and I have honestly had it on needs attention for over a year, so that didn't seem to be working. I thought maybe it was made up too, from Talk:Meditative art and the comment there. Anyway, I'm sure there is some page I dont' know about that would be great, hehe :) - cohesion | talk 17:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
No worries, it does look better from the thumbnail, though the new version isnt loading on my computer. Cfitzart 06:29, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
The first version you loaded is working ok, maybe revert back to that one? (and it looks much better than the original, nicely done :) ) Cfitzart 06:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure if admins are supposed to fix problems with articles they've edited or not. If not, let me know and I'll find another admin. Anyway, vcxlor seems to have done a copy-and-paste from Mount Owen to Mount Owen, New Zealand, and edited the original to be come a disambig page. I've left a message on his talk page advising him that he did it the wrong way, and that I've asked you to use admin powers to fix it. -- Scott Davis Talk 14:03, 24 October 2005 (UTC) And I need to grovel and scrape the floor and apologise. ScottDavis has pointed out what I need to do, and I will make sure that I dont do that one again! If you were able to fix it up, thanks. Hope the cat comes back. My goat, I wish he'd go somewhere (yes saanen desexed dehorned male ) but then he's got good weed eating which my cat hasnt.

RFCs are evil and scary, but there's more then enough evidence against him if you look hard enough. I'd suggest it. If by block, you mean an indefinite block, then you probably won't get away with it. If you mean a short block, he's used to it...look for him in the block log. :) I did block him for 24 hours last night after the bike-stub incident. And he acted like a fuckhead to me on IRC about it. :/ -- Phroziac( talk) 14:36, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi, please help me! I tried to give the "stub" article of Alice Guszalewicz a little more information. As I found out some of the older users who contributed have been deleted or are absent, could you please check my informations? The informations are from the german wikipedia just translated (my input from what I know about her), but I guess there are some errors in typing and expression. You can leave me a message in german wikipedia for User HelenaL, if you have any question? Thanks and regards HelenaL 83.136.72.5 10:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
I have rewritten the article so that is about Peter Dunn formerly a Major-General in the Australian Army. It is only a stub currently but I have outlined plans for expansion on the talk page. I have also written a sentence so that people who typed in Peter Dunn instead of Peter Dunne can find what they are after. I would be grateful if you could take a look. Capitalistroadster 10:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Grutness. As an admin that "recent changes" suggests is up and around right now, could you please take a quick look at this?
It's true that the FA process of this particular article has left some people unhappy, but if this IP has a serious objection to it he (i) should have specified what it was, and (ii) should have done so elsewhere. However, as I say on that page, I may not be disinterested, and even if I were certain that I'd be right to delete this, I lack the necessary superpowers.
Thanks. -- Hoary 05:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello James, I am quite likely the only Alan Liefting in NZ! Since I was fourth in the candidate votes and I am way down on the Green Party list I would not have make it into Parliament. So don't write an article on me........yet! Cheers. Alan Liefting 07:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I made it into the admin fold. You can rest assured that anything I touch on Wikipedia will stay as clean as I can make it. Denelson 83 22:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support - my bid (as you probably know) went swimmingly. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you very much and I just hope I don't mess up! I hope also to do some more stub work again soonish so I'm sure well bump into eachother there if not elsewhere. All the best! -- Cel e stianpower hablamé 12:25, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Grutness! Just wanted to thank you for supporting my RfA. I hope I will be able to live up to the confidence placed in me. And thanks also for the compliments - it's great to know one's appreciated . Happy editing, -- Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:09, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
A generous offer, but I'd prefer to wait a few months more myself. I know me, and me tends to get involved, then me gets over-involved, then me either goes GAFIA or me reaches an equilibrium at a maintainable level. I know that me hasn't yet reached that last state, and so I, on behalf of me, shall decline your offer for now while reserving the possibility that me shall slap I upside the head sometime and decide to agree for you to nominate me.

Thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship. It was successful thanks to you. I will strive to an open, approachable and transparent administrator. Now back to the cricket I hope we kick your butts tonight :-)-- Jcw69 18:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to vote on my RfA. If you have any concerns over my actions please let me know. CambridgeBayWeather 23:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your vote of confidence. But I'm sorry to hear about your cat. :( Ac e tic ' Acid 01:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Grutness, thanks for passing the message about my block to Phroziac. This situation was certainly rather humourous, and perhaps tells me I should find some non-computer hobby. :-) Mindmatrix 21:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
Drini & I blocked an IP earlier for vandalism (202.180.83.6), and I wanted to let you know because that is the same IP that I blocked a couple of months back and ended up accidentally autoblocking you. The block is set to expire in an hour, but I didn't want you to have any problems. -- Essjay · Talk 01:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
A thought: My knowledge of the technical side of the wiki is minimal (to say the least), but surely someone with tech skills would be able to work out how to block anons from an IP without blocking registered users...? Grutness... wha? 10:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm blocking the anon again, for an(other) hour. - jredmond 20:22, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I know this doesn't help, but I feel your pain... Mindmatrix 01:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I have been for some time thinking about making a patch to MediaWiki to add a new user flag. Users with that flag would be exempt from all IP blocks, both direct and autoblocks (but would still be affected by blocks on the user itself). It would be perfect for your situation. However, I am not sure that hack would be accepted. -- cesarb 01:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Yes. Hopefully. Well, at least we're not blocked now... :S ... Super Saiyan Plough 01:45, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
It's off-topic on the AfD page (and I probably shouldn't've asked there in the first place), so I think I'll respond here. You said:
I (a Victorian) suspected you might say that. This seems to be a misconception from people "up north"—but it quite patently is false. If you said charnce, I'd pick you as a New Zealander, South Australian or British. If you said chornce, I'd pick you as a South African. Victorians all say 'chance' with the pants vowel (except those who speak Cultivated Australian—but that's a non-regional accent and found in other states and cities at least as often as in Victoria and Melbourne). The same applies to the national anthem (though I have a habit of sometimes singing something more like Udvarnce Ostrairlya Fair /advaːns ɔstreːljə feː/, but that's because my last school took singing and fake British accents used in such situations rather serious).

Thanks for remembering, I haven't done enough yet to publish any general statements about quality. lots of issues | leave me a message 00:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
What is going on there? I noticed during SP-patrol that you have blanked this page and I can't see why. (Nor I can see any reason to ever blank a Wikipedia page...) jni 05:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Maybe I explained myself badly, my contention is not that some flags with the tricolore in canton do not exist. my point is that
1- 2 of those he mention do not exist (plain green and red) 2- those who do exist were not used in the same way as the british (blue is for governor general, not a state ensign)

Hi, I pretty much knew AFD was not the ideal place for talking about Meditative art but what is? I didn't really think it was a dispute, so the dispute resolution path seemed innappropriate, and I have honestly had it on needs attention for over a year, so that didn't seem to be working. I thought maybe it was made up too, from Talk:Meditative art and the comment there. Anyway, I'm sure there is some page I dont' know about that would be great, hehe :) - cohesion | talk 17:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
No worries, it does look better from the thumbnail, though the new version isnt loading on my computer. Cfitzart 06:29, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
The first version you loaded is working ok, maybe revert back to that one? (and it looks much better than the original, nicely done :) ) Cfitzart 06:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

birthday to you!
Wiki birthday, dear
Grutness! Wiki birthday to you!
Congratulations on your first Wikibirthday at Wikipedia ( October 13, 2005.). On behalf of the community, we'd like to thank you for your countless edits in the past year! Keep it coming!. This Wiki Birthday Balloon was awarded to you by: SoothingR |
Thanks for adding them. I will add what I have on them when I have more time (perhaps in 3 weeks time).
Hello! Your post to AWAD was interesting ... frankly I'm impressed that you managed to write even a few pages constrained like that :-) — MikeX (talk) 14:50, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I'm not sure if admins are supposed to fix problems with articles they've edited or not. If not, let me know and I'll find another admin. Anyway, vcxlor seems to have done a copy-and-paste from Mount Owen to Mount Owen, New Zealand, and edited the original to be come a disambig page. I've left a message on his talk page advising him that he did it the wrong way, and that I've asked you to use admin powers to fix it. -- Scott Davis Talk 14:03, 24 October 2005 (UTC) And I need to grovel and scrape the floor and apologise. ScottDavis has pointed out what I need to do, and I will make sure that I dont do that one again! If you were able to fix it up, thanks. Hope the cat comes back. My goat, I wish he'd go somewhere (yes saanen desexed dehorned male ) but then he's got good weed eating which my cat hasnt. I'll get out of your way (that's John Clarke's 'Fred Dagg' persona's way of saying seeya later) vcxlor 14:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Thankyou. -- Scott Davis Talk 00:09, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
RFCs are evil and scary, but there's more then enough evidence against him if you look hard enough. I'd suggest it. If by block, you mean an indefinite block, then you probably won't get away with it. If you mean a short block, he's used to it...look for him in the block log. :) I did block him for 24 hours last night after the bike-stub incident. And he acted like a fuckhead to me on IRC about it. :/ -- Phroziac( talk) 14:36, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi, please help me! I tried to give the "stub" article of Alice Guszalewicz a little more information. As I found out some of the older users who contributed have been deleted or are absent, could you please check my informations? The informations are from the german wikipedia just translated (my input from what I know about her), but I guess there are some errors in typing and expression. You can leave me a message in german wikipedia for User HelenaL, if you have any question? Thanks and regards HelenaL 83.136.72.5 10:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
I have rewritten the article so that is about Peter Dunn formerly a Major-General in the Australian Army. It is only a stub currently but I have outlined plans for expansion on the talk page. I have also written a sentence so that people who typed in Peter Dunn instead of Peter Dunne can find what they are after. I would be grateful if you could take a look. Capitalistroadster 10:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Grutness. As an admin that "recent changes" suggests is up and around right now, could you please take a quick look at this?
It's true that the FA process of this particular article has left some people unhappy, but if this IP has a serious objection to it he (i) should have specified what it was, and (ii) should have done so elsewhere. However, as I say on that page, I may not be disinterested, and even if I were certain that I'd be right to delete this, I lack the necessary superpowers.
Thanks. -- Hoary 05:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello James, I am quite likely the only Alan Liefting in NZ! Since I was fourth in the candidate votes and I am way down on the Green Party list I would not have make it into Parliament. So don't write an article on me........yet! Cheers. Alan Liefting 07:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
