My first test talk entry
Hi mate, how are you? I saw your name on the adoption list, and I was thinking maybe I will adopt you (LOL this is pretty strange :P). The reason behind is because you like The Simpsons! Maybe there are more things, but I do not know yet. So what do you say? Cheers -- Imo eng 04:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi how are you? If you want, just click that link on my userpage, called "Userspace". Then change my name to yours. Hopefully that will work out. Hey, talk to you later, I need to go to school :). Cheers -- Imo eng 21:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah it happened to me too, but thankfully I have found a place to work now. Btw, could you make a new header when you reply me after a period of time? Because I almost did not see your new message (also yesterday's message). When I joined Wikipedia, I joined
WP:GUITAR and made some guitarists articles. But then I created a new project, called
WP:INA. So, I suggest you to find a good project and focus on this project first, create articles, expand, improve, stuff like that. Then, if you believe you can handle more, and have an idea of a project, why don't you try to make one? Well, for now, I'd say just focus on writing.
And yeah, doing things from The Simpsons to-do is good too. Just imagine, if the article passed
WP:FA, then you have contributed to a featured article, which is extremely good! Another thing is, to improve The Simpsons portal.
Portal:The Simpsons. I started the Indonesian portal,
WP:PID, so just ask me if you are interested in improving The Simpsons portal.
If you want to see a list of projects, go to
WP:LOWP. Good luck and take care --

Hi how are you? Unfortunately, and apparently, there is no such facility to help us making tables (as far as I know). I am pretty sure, there is nothing like that, but you can clarify it on the help desk. I suggest you use List_of_The_Simpsons_episodes, edit the season 1 section and change the entries. That is what we usually do, "copy" other tables, templates and layouts :P. It is not a bad thing to do, as that list is a featured list. If you can finish the job, wow, you are the best :D. Cheers -- Imo eng 01:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
You've kind of it the nail on the head there. Trivia is classified as information that is "interesting but not important". When you want to ask what is encyclopedic, you should think about what is useful information. Per WP:AVTRIV, trivia sections should be avoided. You will notice that none of the featured articles contain trivia sections, specifically under the media section. However, I've found that most trivia sections should not be simply deleted. A lot of information in the section is useful and encyclopedic. In the last day or so I've been running around and cleaning up random film trivia sections. Hopefully someone might come along and merge the useful information into the other sections of the article. As of right now, I'm working on getting the rest of the Star Wars film articles up to featured article status, so I don't have the time to do so. The Filmaker 05:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I just added my first 'real' article! A biography of Kipp Lennon - no, I've no idea who he is either (except an occasional involvement with The Simpsons). Now lets see who deletes it...
Why did you change that? Link chain just redirects back to chain. TJ Spyke 23:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I've fixed the link to chain to point to chain (sequence), as you suggested. Thanks for pointing it out! Waitak 04:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi how are you? I was visiting my userpage when I saw your name :P, and wondering how is editing going. So, hows everything going here? Hopefully you can finish the list of songs ;). Cheers -- Imo eng 09:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Mortice! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia! └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 12:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Here you go: Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences/Medicine Most requests for things, mass efforts to do stuff and that sort of doings happen at the Wikipedia:Community Portal, linked to on your left. It's one huge directory of possible things you could need. I do not know what GCS means, but maybe there already is an article for it - articles are always under the full name (except for personalities who are much better known by their pseudonym or whatever), so check whether it exists before putting it on the list. Also, as you may note, there's quite a backlog so don't expect it any time soon! Glad to help. └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 20:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The general guidelines would be found here: Wikipedia:Fair use. In a nutshell, you may use very short sections of copyrighted material only to illustrate a point, to criticize, and the sort.
But when it come to music, we try to keep to certain guidelines of our own set out in the WikiProject Music. These guidelines, dubbed MUSTARD, specify that lyrics cannot be quoted for their own sake, but only when illustrating a point. Therefore, even if you get permission, you should not put the whole lyrics on but only use something like, in your case: the original "xxx" used in studio recordings of 2005 was replaced with "yyy" in the live recordings during the 2006 tour". Read Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/MUSTARD/Lyrics to get the feel (it's extremely short not like WP:FU).

I'd like to get some advice from someone who's been intimately involved with the use an explitation of categories in Wikipedia.
I have a proposal on the table Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons/Proposal for managing song lists on Simpsons episodes which I suspect is using categories in the way they were not intended.
I'd be very keen to know if this is considered a Bad Thing, or if it's a good use of categories. One of the respondants (on the talk page) expressed concern that it would create a large number (about 200) of categories with a small number (1 to 5) entries in each - this is because it's trying to be systematic use of categories so some extremes (a category with one entry) are a necessary by-product of it.
Please take a look at the proposal and let me know what's the "engineer's eye" view of the proposal, or if I should escalate it elsewhere. Thanks -- Mortice 15:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi - the best way to get a list of pages in a category is to use the query.php or the api.php systems built in to MediaWiki. Api.php is the most recent, and the one that is slowly replacing query.php in terms of usage and functionality. This give details on all of the uses of api.php, but the simple thing is that it can return an xml feed of all the pages in a category (as well as many other things). The python bot framework has this built in, but I can't remember which funtion to call (it's in category.py). Also, I don't know if it uses api.php (or query.php) or some other method. Also, relevant to what you're doing, you can use the api.php to get a list of all the pages which contain a certain template (such as this, which gives the uses of the {{ stub}} template in xml form (get rid of the &format=xml to see a sligtly more readble version). If you look at those links, they should give you details of the api (or pywikipediabotframework may have it all included). If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask!

Hi--Thanks. I've been away from the wikis, and that whole thing just got dropped in mid-development, so I've no doubt there are a few bugs still in there. I'll take a look, but at the moment I'm stacked in three 'new article stub' creation edits I wandered into today due to needs, so may not be tonight as the wife and kids are due home soon. {
If you can do something sensible with it, go fer it. The

(curiosity got the better of me! <G>) There was no article specifically for the wikispecies sisterproject at the time of stubbing out that template. The idea was to set them all up the same way consistently,. So this was a 'placeholder' work-around a so to speak. I had far too much on my plate at the time to try stubbing together an article for
wikispecies (guess I just did!), so I didn't! Brilliant, huh?So if you can find a Wikispecies article page, fix the link by all means! The various templates here are the 'Master copies', save for a couple of exceptions that differ elsewhere. Use the {{
W2}}
template so the fix is portable and reaches the page here or appropo pipe tricking. Thanks also for the courtesy of making an inquiry. That's uncommonly sensible around here! ttfn //

Hey, I claimed seasons 7 & 8 to add the ListGenBot tags, and I'm having a problem - everyone is showing up under writers and the cultural references are showing up under trivia, even though I added the tags correctly (I think). Could you take a look at the infobox for Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part II and tell me how I'm screwing this up? Thanks. Natalie 21:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 01:50, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using ( This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 12:06, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
You are invited to the first ever Reading Wiki Meetup which will take place at Copa, 76-78 Kings Road, Reading, RG1 3BJ on Sunday 23 September 2012 from 1.00 pm.
I hope as many people as possible will be able to attend so that we can make this a regular event. If you have never been to one, this is an opportunity to meet other Wikipedians in an informal atmosphere for Wiki and non-Wiki related chat and for beer or food if you like. Experienced and new contributors are all welcome. This event is definitely not restricted just to discussion of Berkshire related topics. Bring your laptop if you like and use the free Wifi or just bring yourself. Even better, bring a friend! Click the link for full details. Looking forward to seeing you.

Motto of the Day ( WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help!

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

The idea was to set them all up the same way consistently,. So this was a 'placeholder' work-around a so to speak. I had far too much on my plate at the time to try stubbing together an article for
wikispecies (guess I just did!), so I didn't! Brilliant, huh?So if you can find a Wikispecies article page, fix the link by all means! The various templates here are the 'Master copies', save for a couple of exceptions that differ elsewhere. Use the {{
W2}}
template so the fix is portable and reaches the page here or appropo pipe tricking. Thanks also for the courtesy of making an inquiry. That's uncommonly sensible around here! ttfn //

Hey, I claimed seasons 7 & 8 to add the ListGenBot tags, and I'm having a problem - everyone is showing up under writers and the cultural references are showing up under trivia, even though I added the tags correctly (I think). Could you take a look at the infobox for Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part II and tell me how I'm screwing this up? Thanks. Natalie 21:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
I responded to your latest query and included a more concise explanation of why it's fair use that you can add along with the picture. takethemud 16:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I've been autoblocked despite the block not being for my fixed IP addr which is 213.208.123.83, and I'm not (knowingly) using any proxy etc - odd...

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 01:50, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using ( This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 12:06, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
You are invited to the first ever Reading Wiki Meetup which will take place at Copa, 76-78 Kings Road, Reading, RG1 3BJ on Sunday 23 September 2012 from 1.00 pm.
I hope as many people as possible will be able to attend so that we can make this a regular event. If you have never been to one, this is an opportunity to meet other Wikipedians in an informal atmosphere for Wiki and non-Wiki related chat and for beer or food if you like. Experienced and new contributors are all welcome. This event is definitely not restricted just to discussion of Berkshire related topics. Bring your laptop if you like and use the free Wifi or just bring yourself. Even better, bring a friend! Click the link for full details. Looking forward to seeing you.

Motto of the Day ( WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “ This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.
Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
