The Original Barnstar | |
Too often great editors like you are overlooked and not given the credit deserved for all their great contributions. So I am awarding you this barnstar to let you know I greatly appreciate all you do for Wikipedia, and please keep up the outstanding work!! CTJF83 chat 03:21, 17 November 2010 (UTC) |
Hi Philosopher - I see you are an admin., and I have a technical question about something that I've never faced before. I thought I saw was an edit war and stalking going on between two users:
MFIreland and
124.179.251.155, as shown
here,
here, and
here. 'Both' in turn responded back stating that they have no idea what I'm talking about and described that
here. MFIreland has seen fit to leave a curt tag message with me, rather than communicating at all with 124.179.251.155.
Are they/were they slaking/edit warring, sock-puppetry each other, something else - or am I having a 60's flash back? :) Take care... Dinkytown talk 01:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
I know you are on a school Wiki break so when you get a chance.
I have left a lengthy question request on
Talk:Ansel Briggs about the article
Ansel Briggs. If you would please give me your input it would be appreciated. I also cc this message to Ctjf83. On another subject somehow in the past I stumbled upon a special page called Changes related to "User:Philosopher/Iowa legislators watchlist" which I just bookmarked, now I want to know how can I make one of these for the
List of cities in Iowa ? Also do you have any objections if I start up the division WikiIowa Project/Communities ? One more thing has the {{
Compact election box}} finalized with the removal of the ± column ?
Thanks

Hi-I started a category for the members of the Iowa Territorial Legislature. I noticed some of the biographies mentioned of being involved in the Iowa Territorial Legislature. I also started similiar categories in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Idaho, and Hawaii. The categories were badly needed. Thanks- RFD ( talk) 17:21, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm just curious, I've been thinking a little about this and have always been kind of put off that some articles that have to do with stories or movies or games can have a whole plot synopsis included in the article. Personally I think that a summary of the plot in an article is tasteful, but having the entire plot there can be inconvenient for people who just want to learn about whatever it is they are looking for and aren't looking to have anything either spoiled for them or such. I just wanted to know what you thought and if there was some kind of general reasoning behind this on Wikipedia. If anything I was thinking that as an encyclopedia people are thinking that there should be a comprehensive synopsis but thats all I can come up with. ( NuHalo ( talk) 04:01, 9 December 2010 (UTC))
I know you are on a school wiki break, but if you have time can you either send this notice out to all Project Iowa members by bot or tell me how to. If it has to be sent out manually let me know that also.
1) Before you use rollback, please have a look at the instruction page at WP:ROLLBACK. The basic rule is to only use rollback when all edits to be rolled back are blatant vandalism (if the edit could have been good faith, use "undo" instead of "rollback"), note if the several most recent edits are by the same author, the tool will roll all of them back. If you end up doing a lot of vandalism patrols, you may want to check out the warning templates at WP:WARN. ...and... you have rollback now. 2) You don't have to create the categories - they will be created automatically by a bot after I create the template parameter and add it to the pages. The class will generally be the same regardless of project - we do have a checklist for articles before they become B-Class and some other projects don't, but that's the only difference, and a fairly minor one - for the criteria for grading the classes of articles, see Template:WikiProject Iowa#Quality scale. 3) Your project is looking interesting - especially the charts of Iowa's cities. Putting the table data on a subpage could be a good idea, simply because that'll make the page load faster for those with slow browsers or internet access. But I'm afraid I don't have any opinion on whether to just link to it or transclude it onto the original page. -- Philosopher Let us reason together. 17:14, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

I just happened onto the Wikipedia:Portal/Directory and noticed that Portal:Iowa was not listed. When I entered the information into the directory I assumed that portal Iowa is maintained by Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa. If this is wrong please correct it.
And has the political {{ Compact election box}} template (for vote counts) been adjusted (or new one made) to eliminate the ± column? I personally now have a good working knowledge of how to collapse tables or any other information now, so I just need the fixed template. Being that the newly elected officials will be taking office in a few days, places like Portal Iowa, current senators, current representatives, succession boxes, and any other related political articles will have to be updated. I will take time off my communities edits to help with this. I just do not know how to (yet) update or make new templates. I have been watching with interest the Bot discussion about the addition of the communities parameter, so I am aware of that progress. I made one attempt (in my sandbox) a while back to make a Class/Importance table like is made for Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Government#Assessment by just replacing government with communities in the code I found at . . . I just seen you must have (or it is automatically created) the page User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/Iowa (communities) so do I just transclude that page onto Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Communities#Assessment or does it need to be stepped like it is for the Government division?
Check out
WP:IA/C as we are up to 4 members and there has been many improvements.
Until next time.--

Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom ( talk) 19:42, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

We've crossed paths before, but I can't remember where. Eh, I'm lucky enough to remember to wake up.
Your new Iowa President articles came up on a list of articles without the living parameter. I noticed some of the articles,
Duane C. Spriestersbach and
Christian W. Slagle for example, are articles to acting presidents. Is that notable enough??? According to
notability guidelines, specifically section #6, I don't think they are notable.

Deborah Berry ? As far as your standardizing the header (which is fine by me) at
Talk:Swati Dandekar that was a newbie error on my part.
Reviving an old discussion we had at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Iowa/Government#Vote count formats in articles, I contacted the original template author for {{
Compact election box}} about making a template that removes the ± column a while back with no results. See
User talk:BrownHairedGirl/Archive/Archive 023# Compact election box. I took a look at trying to create a new {{
Compact election box without ±}}
from the {{
Compact election box}} but the programming language is still above my understanding (at this time). In the previous discussions about this subject you indicated that the programming would not be complicated (for you). If you have the time can you look into creating the new template? I diverted my attention and editing to the Iowa communities in the last few months, but will return to help with vote counts and politicians when/if this issue is resolved.

A tag has been placed on Category:2001 Illinois elections requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

I'm just curious, I've been thinking a little about this and have always been kind of put off that some articles that have to do with stories or movies or games can have a whole plot synopsis included in the article. Personally I think that a summary of the plot in an article is tasteful, but having the entire plot there can be inconvenient for people who just want to learn about whatever it is they are looking for and aren't looking to have anything either spoiled for them or such. I just wanted to know what you thought and if there was some kind of general reasoning behind this on Wikipedia. If anything I was thinking that as an encyclopedia people are thinking that there should be a comprehensive synopsis but thats all I can come up with. ( NuHalo ( talk) 04:01, 9 December 2010 (UTC))
I know you are on a school wiki break, but if you have time can you either send this notice out to all Project Iowa members by bot or tell me how to. If it has to be sent out manually let me know that also.
1) Before you use rollback, please have a look at the instruction page at WP:ROLLBACK. The basic rule is to only use rollback when all edits to be rolled back are blatant vandalism (if the edit could have been good faith, use "undo" instead of "rollback"), note if the several most recent edits are by the same author, the tool will roll all of them back. If you end up doing a lot of vandalism patrols, you may want to check out the warning templates at WP:WARN. ...and... you have rollback now. 2) You don't have to create the categories - they will be created automatically by a bot after I create the template parameter and add it to the pages. The class will generally be the same regardless of project - we do have a checklist for articles before they become B-Class and some other projects don't, but that's the only difference, and a fairly minor one - for the criteria for grading the classes of articles, see Template:WikiProject Iowa#Quality scale. 3) Your project is looking interesting - especially the charts of Iowa's cities. Putting the table data on a subpage could be a good idea, simply because that'll make the page load faster for those with slow browsers or internet access. But I'm afraid I don't have any opinion on whether to just link to it or transclude it onto the original page. -- Philosopher Let us reason together. 17:14, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

I just happened onto the Wikipedia:Portal/Directory and noticed that Portal:Iowa was not listed. When I entered the information into the directory I assumed that portal Iowa is maintained by Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa. If this is wrong please correct it.
And has the political {{ Compact election box}} template (for vote counts) been adjusted (or new one made) to eliminate the ± column? I personally now have a good working knowledge of how to collapse tables or any other information now, so I just need the fixed template. Being that the newly elected officials will be taking office in a few days, places like Portal Iowa, current senators, current representatives, succession boxes, and any other related political articles will have to be updated. I will take time off my communities edits to help with this. I just do not know how to (yet) update or make new templates. I have been watching with interest the Bot discussion about the addition of the communities parameter, so I am aware of that progress. I made one attempt (in my sandbox) a while back to make a Class/Importance table like is made for Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Government#Assessment by just replacing government with communities in the code I found at . . . I just seen you must have (or it is automatically created) the page User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/Iowa (communities) so do I just transclude that page onto Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Communities#Assessment or does it need to be stepped like it is for the Government division?
Check out
WP:IA/C as we are up to 4 members and there has been many improvements.
Until next time.--

Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom ( talk) 19:42, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

We've crossed paths before, but I can't remember where. Eh, I'm lucky enough to remember to wake up.
Your new Iowa President articles came up on a list of articles without the living parameter. I noticed some of the articles,
Duane C. Spriestersbach and
Christian W. Slagle for example, are articles to acting presidents. Is that notable enough??? According to
notability guidelines, specifically section #6, I don't think they are notable.

I have reported the situation at es:wiki, but im not too versed over here, so i'd like to ask you if you could check it if possible. Excuse my English. Thank you.

Glad to see you back in action! I assumed that school became more time consuming. I see you are adding pictures to our elected officials - great - can you find one for
Deborah Berry ? As far as your standardizing the header (which is fine by me) at
Talk:Swati Dandekar that was a newbie error on my part.
Reviving an old discussion we had at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Iowa/Government#Vote count formats in articles, I contacted the original template author for {{
Compact election box}} about making a template that removes the ± column a while back with no results. See
User talk:BrownHairedGirl/Archive/Archive 023# Compact election box. I took a look at trying to create a new {{
Compact election box without ±}}
from the {{
Compact election box}} but the programming language is still above my understanding (at this time). In the previous discussions about this subject you indicated that the programming would not be complicated (for you). If you have the time can you look into creating the new template? I diverted my attention and editing to the Iowa communities in the last few months, but will return to help with vote counts and politicians when/if this issue is resolved.

A tag has been placed on Category:2001 Illinois elections requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs.
