I had a number of questions a few days ago, but I've forgotten about them as usual. For now my contributing will mostly be adding content, adding content. I still have some minor questions, though:
I think I'll ask a certain user who is currently juggling half the vertebrate WikiProjects' coordination single-handed if there are any I could get particularly involved in. Do you know about this sort of thing? And, are there any other matters you think I might be interested in? Note: I did not add the info on house sparrow declines to the page, but saved it to a file instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:The_Earwig&action=edit§ion=15 It needs some work, and is quite dated. innotata ( Talk | Contribs) 19:06, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I have a few questions again. First: My watchlist seems to be malfunctioning. All the most edited pages ( WP:BIRD & House Sparrow) don't usually show up at all. Any idea what's wrong, or if I can do anything? Do you know how to cite dissertations with Template:Citation. I can't figure this out. I also might have to ask you what to tell some new users making unconstructive edits to pages I'll be working on. So far, for various reasons, I haven't needed to. Just a note: I think this page, and the note on its talk page will explain why I had you shuffle around some fish-related articles: Cepola macrophthalma. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 20:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm having some problems with adding maintenence tags. I keep on adding templates to pages I'm trying to (especially Template:Inline) only to have them removed by other users. If half of a page has inline cits, should I still add this template? What about more than half, but still a lot presumably cited to a general refs section. (This is common, even at FAs like Elfin-woods Warbler). Maybe I should use template:pn, where appropriate, instead. Can you give any suggestions here? — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 16:35, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

You removed the CSD from this claiming neither is banned. This is wrong and the page needs to be deleted.

I noticed that you have moved Aghu Tharrnggala language back to Aghu Tharrnggala after I had moved Aghu Tharrnggala to Aghu Tharrnggala language, and the reason you give is that the "language" in the name of the page isn't necessary. I do however think it is necessary; the first reason is that I think Aghu Tharrnggala should be reserved for a disambiguation-page, which would give the reader a choice between reading about the language, Aghu Tharrnggala language, or the people Aghu Tharrnggala people, a page yet to be created. For instance, see Yir-Yoront, another Paman language, like Arghu Tharrnggala. The second reason is that all the rest of the Paman languages also have "language" in their name, and so have most languages in this Wikipedia, simply naming convention. Therefore, I propose the page should be moved back. -- Llonydd ( talk) 09:37, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the work on the Nitella flexilis article. I created it, because I saw on User:Osborne's talk page that it had just been deleted. However, it was deleted due to the lack of content, and I did ask the deleting administrator to restore any content, but he said it had only contained the name. Thanks for adding additional details and the genus article. It's a fairly important species.

Hi. :) Scuttlebutt has it that you may have created some kind of CSB clone to work AfC. (I don't care about its etymology, that's a weird word.) I see Scuttlebutt is right! I would love to have something similar to CSB that could be used to evaluate individual articles listed for copyright concerns, at WP:CP and even at WP:CCI. Currently, I often use [3], but it requires pasting content and removing markup (including footnotes), which is time consuming. I think it may also search for chunks that are too large. If I had a magic wand, I'd also get it to exclude known wiki mirrors, because by the time an article gets to CP or CCI, we usually have tons of those.
An automated process like a bot could help with CP (though we'd want to avoid redundancy with the SCV listings there, obviously). It might possibly also help with new CCIs, but I wouldn't know how to tell it that a CCI is new. Some kind of tool that could be manually triggered would serve probably just as well, if not better.
Is it remotely possible that you'd be able to help out with something like this? I'm not very tech savvy, so I don't know if I'm asking for something easily accomplished, something Herculean or something Sisyphean. :) Even if you don't have time or interest, I would be grateful to get your thoughts on whether this is something I might get done by someone or if it's really in the realm of robot maids: a great idea that isn't exactly doable ( simulations notwithstanding). :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I had protected this article from recreation after its AfD and repeated recreation. I was discussing its unprotection with its original author on my talk page. Indeed, the AfC submitter appears to be a WP:SPA and it wouldn't surprise me if it is the same author or a sock/meatpuppet attempting to circumvent the process, as the version posted there appears to be the exact same version as the suggested new article posted to my talk page. I'm not faulting you, but a note would have been welcome before recreating it, as the article was protected for a reason. -- Kinu t/ c 00:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Do you know about this sort of thing? And, are there any other matters you think I might be interested in? Note: I did not add the info on house sparrow declines to the page, but saved it to a file instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:The_Earwig&action=edit§ion=15 It needs some work, and is quite dated. innotata ( Talk | Contribs) 19:06, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

It seems that I really won't need as much help as I thought I'd need, so you can officially un-adopt me. I've had a number of problems, but I've managed to solve them, really through luck. If I have any technical problems, as with flamingo, I'll ask you. Thanks for the help, innotata ( Talk | Contribs) 16:33, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
Can you please move the information to its appropriate section. The info should go under Relationship to people, do you not agree? It frustrates me that I can't simply move information adn remove unreliable refs without being accused of reverting. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 20:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. With this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sistema_Interconectado_del_Norte_Grande&oldid=280301307 , you ha=elped to clarify the redirect on that article. I don't think this stub of an article is a proper redirect, especially since there are SO SO SO MANY more relevant responses to a wikisearch of "sing" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing).
Please advise on how to remove the redirect! Thanks. 38.109.88.194 ( talk) 22:02, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I have a few questions again. First: My watchlist seems to be malfunctioning. All the most edited pages ( WP:BIRD & House Sparrow) don't usually show up at all. Any idea what's wrong, or if I can do anything? Do you know how to cite dissertations with Template:Citation. I can't figure this out. I also might have to ask you what to tell some new users making unconstructive edits to pages I'll be working on. So far, for various reasons, I haven't needed to. Just a note: I think this page, and the note on its talk page will explain why I had you shuffle around some fish-related articles: Cepola macrophthalma. — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 20:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm having some problems with adding maintenence tags. I keep on adding templates to pages I'm trying to (especially Template:Inline) only to have them removed by other users. If half of a page has inline cits, should I still add this template? What about more than half, but still a lot presumably cited to a general refs section. (This is common, even at FAs like Elfin-woods Warbler). Maybe I should use template:pn, where appropriate, instead. Can you give any suggestions here? — innotata ( Talk • Contribs) 16:35, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi! As you have expressed an interest in the initial The Great Wikipedia Dramaout, you're being notified because we are currently planning another one in January!

Dear Earwig, User:Al Ameer son and I have been working on Gamal Abdel Nasser for the past months, trying to get it to FA status. Could u please have a look at it, especially regarding the prose and style ? Please put any remarks on the talk page of the article. This would really help and is greatly appreciated. Thank you,-- Diaa abdelmoneim ( talk) 11:49, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
You removed the CSD from this claiming neither is banned. This is wrong and the page needs to be deleted. User:A4d49f4a is a block sockpuppet/vandal, with at least 18 confirmed socks, and more unconfirmed ones. ILoveScratte2 is one of his many socks and has already been blocked. Please properly delete it per CSD G5. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 23:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Did you already finish the Decating for AfC? -- MWOAP ( talk) 00:58, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that you have moved Aghu Tharrnggala language back to Aghu Tharrnggala after I had moved Aghu Tharrnggala to Aghu Tharrnggala language, and the reason you give is that the "language" in the name of the page isn't necessary. I do however think it is necessary; the first reason is that I think Aghu Tharrnggala should be reserved for a disambiguation-page, which would give the reader a choice between reading about the language, Aghu Tharrnggala language, or the people Aghu Tharrnggala people, a page yet to be created. For instance, see Yir-Yoront, another Paman language, like Arghu Tharrnggala. The second reason is that all the rest of the Paman languages also have "language" in their name, and so have most languages in this Wikipedia, simply naming convention. Therefore, I propose the page should be moved back. -- Llonydd ( talk) 09:37, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the work on the Nitella flexilis article. I created it, because I saw on User:Osborne's talk page that it had just been deleted. However, it was deleted due to the lack of content, and I did ask the deleting administrator to restore any content, but he said it had only contained the name. Thanks for adding additional details and the genus article. It's a fairly important species.
A WikiProject Algae has been started to try to sort through the algae on wikipedia into a usable taxonomy. Please contribute, particularly about the taxonomy to be used, at the project's talk page, if you are interested. Thank you. -- 68.127.232.132 ( talk) 00:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. :) Scuttlebutt has it that you may have created some kind of CSB clone to work AfC. (I don't care about its etymology, that's a weird word.) I see Scuttlebutt is right! I would love to have something similar to CSB that could be used to evaluate individual articles listed for copyright concerns, at WP:CP and even at WP:CCI. Currently, I often use [3], but it requires pasting content and removing markup (including footnotes), which is time consuming. I think it may also search for chunks that are too large. If I had a magic wand, I'd also get it to exclude known wiki mirrors, because by the time an article gets to CP or CCI, we usually have tons of those.
An automated process like a bot could help with CP (though we'd want to avoid redundancy with the SCV listings there, obviously). It might possibly also help with new CCIs, but I wouldn't know how to tell it that a CCI is new. Some kind of tool that could be manually triggered would serve probably just as well, if not better.
Is it remotely possible that you'd be able to help out with something like this? I'm not very tech savvy, so I don't know if I'm asking for something easily accomplished, something Herculean or something Sisyphean. :) Even if you don't have time or interest, I would be grateful to get your thoughts on whether this is something I might get done by someone or if it's really in the realm of robot maids: a great idea that isn't exactly doable ( simulations notwithstanding). :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I had protected this article from recreation after its AfD and repeated recreation. I was discussing its unprotection with its original author on my talk page. Indeed, the AfC submitter appears to be a WP:SPA and it wouldn't surprise me if it is the same author or a sock/meatpuppet attempting to circumvent the process, as the version posted there appears to be the exact same version as the suggested new article posted to my talk page. I'm not faulting you, but a note would have been welcome before recreating it, as the article was protected for a reason. -- Kinu t/ c 00:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
