Happy New Year! | ||
Hey there, WereSpielChequers! Happy new
Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)
Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. Best wishes, neuro (talk) 01:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC) |

The sentence you removed addresses the prehistoric eco-disaster and is unrelated to events of the 1800s mentioned in the article later. If you like i can flesh this thread out and source it, but it is probably the most important part of the history of Easter Island when deforestation etc occurred and altered the ecology forever.

Hey, no problem :). Yeah, I'll be around on Sunday; that reminds me I need to give a couple of users a poke about it. We can discuss such things there, yes; flagged revisions, I think, will probably be a big topic; kudos for supporting the proposal.

Thanks for the message. I'm not actually coming to a London meetup now - too much money involved. I am, however, coming to the Manchester one in March (Ironholds, Majorly and the lot are coming, too), so if you're up for that then that could be good.

Hello WereSpielChequers. I need help. You were the first person I thought to turn to because you were the first one to come to my aid after I began. I am having a major problem right now, and I don't know who to turn to.
I am a very heavy contributor to the Spyro (series) article and all subsequent articles. Today, someone had the bright idea of taking the three Legend of Spyro articles, and merging them. I am opposed to this on a couple of fronts. One is that, going around merging isn't something you can do without a discussion and consensus. Another thing is that the three article were fairly good on there own (well maybe not one of them, but it could have been improved). I have since reverted those edits and started a discussion about the subject. However, during their massive blanking of the three respective articles, instead of just blanking one and giving it a little link to their new article, it was fully deleted. My biggest priority at this point is trying to raise that one article ( The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night) from the dead. I then would like someway to keep the three indanger articles from being changed.
I understand if you're not the person to help me and if you aren't could you please point me to someone who can help me.
Thank you. Wise dude321 ( talk) 17:24, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Dude, you realize it's going to reset when the page updates in a few days, right? :-)
While I don't necessarily agree with removing people, seeing admins have to waste time renumbering large tables pains me. Surely there are better uses of time.
I offered a while ago to script an exclusion mechanism if someone made a proper list (well, two lists, really, one of bots to be removed completely and one of people that should be replaced with "Placeholder"). If you're willing to make the two lists (and I think one already exists), I can do the rest.
Just an idea. Cheers. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 03:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, yes I figured from the refresh rate that I had a couple of days to finish something that would have been quite quick in excel and move it to replace the November list. But automation would make sense. The editors who want to be replaced with placeholder are here. A list of bots is more difficult, Category:Wikipedia bots by name claims to be such but only has 46. I removed all editors with "bot" in their name except for the following who I believe are not bots:
I've now created Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits/Not Bots for them.
I suspect you have already removed flagged bots and therefore need
Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits/unflagged bots, which needs updating, but has most of those I screened out I've just updated. I would think that for a weekly process having those three pages would enable changes to be made quite easily - ie any anomalies will be fixed on the run after they are added to the appropriate list.

I noticed that my name disappeared entirely from the "List of Wikipedians by number of edits". It was in a previous version [1]. So, have I travelled backward in time (if, so great!), or are my recent edits counting as negative contributions? Piano non troppo ( talk) 12:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've been patrolling certain words for some time that could do with being botted. Would your bot be interested in taking them on?
I don't think any of them generate many false positives. I've probably patrolled them all quite recently, but new ones come up every month. Were Spiel Chequers 18:44, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, and congrats on your successful RfA.
I enjoyed your user page, which I came across after you edited one of the articles on my watchlist. In particular I admired your navigation box, and shamelessly copied and adapted it for myself. So, thanks ! I also made a couple of minor improvements which I thought worth mentioning:

Hi - since we had fun together with Muirhead, I was wondering if you could give me a little help now. While patrolling the old new pages backlog, I ran across this article, International Monetary Systems which shone out as so much better than the backlogged articles and indeed than many articles I get when I go looking for them intentionally that I thought it was worth nominating for a Good Article. It seems to me to have everything - good focused intro, clear organization and writing, inline citations, wiki and outside links, serious references. For goodness sakes it even manages to have good and relevant pictures, which for the topic is quite something. If you don't mind taking a look at it, could you leave your impressions on my talk page?

Hello WereSpielChequers. I understand from your message that you do not consider Admiral Maxteme's editing as vandalism, but I need to split hairs with you. Maxtreme has been rewriting various dragon ball episode summaries that I had done without my permission. Please understand that I have written these summaries first and I have no desire to waste my work. If you cannot consider this rude editing and overwriting as vandalism, I need your help to settle the matter. Whether Maxtreme is a sole contributer or not, it is simply insulting to act to this overwriting. I certainly don't do that. I give you my best wishes.

Apart from John Carter (who has suffered a loss in real life, and is taking a break from wikipedia), you are the only admin who has spoke to me, so I'll ask you. If you wanted to use a picture from wikipedia and put it on your userpage, would you be allowed to do this? Or would you not. -- Spongefrog ( talk) 19:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
I was actually wondering if I could create barnstars using images from wikipedia (not to add them to the main Barnstar list), although not right away, only if a situation arises that I need to. Like this:-

The Sea Anemone Barnstar | |
For users who either a) contribute to sea anemone related articles or b) claim to be sea anemones. |
(this is just to illustrate a point, dont consider it a barnstar, unless you really want to). Would this be permissible (if 'permissible' is a real word). Sorry if I've not worded the question well, I'm not a particularly good communicator. -- Spongefrog ( talk) 20:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Thnaks a lot for that. As I said, I would only make a Barnstar if a situation arose in which there is no suitable , or I want to make it more specific to what the user has done (although that will probably never happen). I'll have a look at that adoption programme you suggested. Bye. Spongefrog ( talk) 14:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
yea, first day back. Thanks for the cake. So whats been going on recently? looks like they put up these new abuse filters, so less grawp and hagger then? oh, and just found out that one of my friends were accused of sock puppetry

The Typo Team Barnstar | |
I'm giving you this because I cannot believe for the life of me that someone hasn't done this already. Sophus Bie ( talk) 11:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC) |
I just got a Barnstar from someone called User:Alaphent, apparently it was awarded for giving him/her a Barnstar. I didn't give it (I'll refer to him/her as it, it saves typing time) a barnstar though. It actually has several barnstars on its page, but the page history doesn't show anyone giving it barnstars. User:John Carter has a Barnstar on its page, which I think was stolen from my barnstar page. It stole a Barnstar from Rkr1991, and they seem to share the same interests, so maybe they're the same person. You might want to check this out, maybe get a checkuser in, but I'm not sure how to go about reporting these things (which is why I'm asking here). (look at my new signature!) Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 17:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for leaving that comment on my talk page. It was thoughtful of you to leave it for passing RfA reviewers. I had completely forgotten about that until I read Q7 on my RfA. I'm no tech expert, but IMHO, it would be difficult to implement such a change without opening loopholes for potential vandalism. Thanks again, -- Patar knight - chat/ contributions 13:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi, your contributions at the above page are very welcome. However, in the interests of clarity countering of the points of others (when agreeing or disagreeing) is making the page unnecessarily long and confusing. One or two points is fine, so is addressing points directly raised to you. Please see comments here [2].The page is purely to assess how many people are interested and to find out the concerns they have. The worthiness of those views can be hotly debated elsewhere at a later date, assuming enough people feel the point is worth debating. Please feel free to agree or disagree with points or raise your own views in a seperate section. Hope you understand, I am trying to be unbiased but keep the page as concise as possible. Thanks.

I don't know whether you're interested in this or not but I'm trying to get a few other points of view so I figured I'd ask. After noticing the closest thing to prevention on the school shooting page involved arming teachers and shooting students at the last minute I thought there could be something better so I created the Preventing school violence article to link to it and have had a hard time convincing people not to delete links or the article itself. If it seems like something your interested in anything you put in will be apreciated. I'm just trying to correct something I consider seriously flawed. thanks Zacherystaylor ( talk) 19:54, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks whatever you do will be helpful. BTW I forgot to mention that I have created a seperate unofficial article to work on until this dispute is settled it is here: User:Zacherystaylor/preventing school violence This will help wpeople who are interested know what I'm trying to add and that it is all backed up by sources who have conducted research in the subject. Thanks Zacherystaylor ( talk) 17:46, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your input and proof reading. I'll check the the stat about woman it came frome deBecker. some of the material is focused primarily on the USA but not all of it, social nature is esentualy the same world wide but different customs bring out different behavior. School shootings and violence isn't limited to the USA it is a problem worldwide althouth I'm not that familar with England. I vaguely recall a couple incidents from England or Scotland. As far as I know noplace is completely immune. I'm going to prepare a little more before I try to put things into the article or restore many links. I don't think any of the links were left to the article. I have tried to discuss things and will do so again after I do a little more on the article but am a little suprised at the respoce I am getting. Thanks Good day Zacherystaylor ( talk) 17:20, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Your probably right about that being a USA stat it is by a USA author. Your criticism is apreciated and helpful. If you think this article should be saved I would apreciate if you put your 2 cents in at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Preventing school violence. It is now being targeted for deletion again.

Hey there. A few months back you gave some excellent advise about an article I created when a new page patroller wanted to put it up for GA review. I didnt do much to progress it as it was more Alice who seemed interested in the process and I thought it could wait for her to get back from her wiki break. One article Ive wanted to be featured on the main page since I first arrived is Keynes. Im kind of hopeing its about ready to be a FA candidate or at least go to peer review, do you please have some time to look it over? Some professional economists have reviewed it, but only one of them is a wikipedian so Im hoping for some general feedback about style and formating, and you seem to have a good feel for finance to so any kind of advise or input would be welcome.

Hello. Remeber me?
I was just here to ask you about this thing. A user who I know called User:SchnitzelMannGreek posted this on my page. Slightly confusing, but I'll tell you the jist of it. The category, [3] includes the sockpuppets that he made, and the bad ones the hacker made. He'd like the category split into bad ones and good ones. That's assuming you believe his excuse. After this incident he's made solely constructive edits and got rollback rights. User:Inferno, Lord of Penguins, who was also a victim (see the category), believes him, and I'm sure many more would. Is there any way the category could be split? Would there need to be a debate of some kind? Thanks a lot. Spongefrog , (talk to me, or else) 17:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I am anti-censorship, and don't think any userboxes should be banned. The choice of userboxes can speak volumes about an RfA candidate, and I appreciate them as evidence that helps show whether a candidate is suitable for adminship or not.
And, my opposes of atheists have nothing to do with any prejudice against atheists, which I do not have, and everything to do with the userboxes that some atheists apparently think are a good idea. How dare you accuse me of bias just because religious people seem to be respectful enough not to display confrontational userboxes? Keepscases ( talk) 18:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi WereSpielChequers. Since it has been about three months since my last editor review, I've started up another one. You obviously strongly supported my becoming an admin back in June, but maybe you could provide some advice on the main issues that were brought up anyway.

Hi WSC i noticed that you on the 20th of August 2009 at 11:22 deleted an attackpage [4] that i had tagged with a template from the ' what-to-do' wiki article. The reason i'm here is because yesterday an administrator warned me for putting a template in the userpage of the person that created the article in question(which is standard proceedure) and claimed i did this in error. Please have a look these two discussions
I received a personal attack for putting this template warning in the userpage of the article's creator, as a result i adviced the user Ingoman not to make such personal attacks in the future again or i would report him. The administrator however believes the personal attack was justified because the incorporated template text in his opinion seemed strange. Was i wrong for putting that template in the userpage and is a user obligated to change the words of the incorporated text, even if it's perfectly relevant? I'm very interested in your opinion.-- Scoobycentric ( talk) 03:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, WereSpielChequers, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! Ikip ( talk) 23:33, 10 September 2009 (UTC) |
First and foremost, thanks for the beer!
I don´t think that tilde issue prevents growth of es-WP. In fact, you've probably been unlucky with the sample: Spanish LatinAmerica keyboards usually have the tilde just right of the "ñ" key (n-tilde). Besides that, below the edition box in es-WP there is a "help box" with accented characters (you can choose from a dropdown menu to use the most common sign in Spanish, or all the Latin alphabets diacritical marks, IPA, German, Arab, etc.).
Yes, they usually charge a little fee for taking photos. If you want to contribute your collection to the sets we took during our "expedition" to the Museum and the Observatory, please find the proper sub-category within commons:Category:Museo de la Plata.

Thank you for the minor tidy-up operation you've undergone on the Lostock Hall article. This article is very dear to myself, as it also the place where I live.

Hey WSC, please take a look at the following discussion at the Horn of Africa talkpage, as you can see; the individual by the name of Liban80 was promoting an original research definition, which was quikly corrected by me and several other wikipedians, he then went on to ask for a 'third opinion' (nevermind the fact that those who were against his theory numbered more than two), he received a similar response there, but despite all of this, Liban80 has continued in his canvassing to such an extant that it now resembles a real campaign for his OR material, see here:

Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! The more the merrier.

I disagree that it is vandalism, but even if it is, the additional vandal tags on my talk page are not justified. It is not vandalism to question another user's edits on their talk page. I am more concerned about these other, over the top accusations. Next time I make an edit, people are going to look at the talk page and think I am some kind of troublemaker.

Thanks for your suggestion to check out strategy:Participation/Attracting new participants and retaining existing participants.

A quick note about User:WereSpielChequers/Dec09. In user talks where content doesn't fill up 100% of the page (ie with a css 'float' sidebar, as on mine), the fact that the images are just regularly Wikicode-assigned to go to the left and right can be problematic. I don't think including them in a div (the Xmas box) really has any impact on where they end up aligned. Play around with my talk page, including the content in a div or adding padding to the sidebar does nothing to fix the problem. Maybe you should use tables (since we can't really use css fully) to align the pictures. — what a crazy random happenstance 07:01, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
Hi WereSpielChequers, have a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2010!

Hey there, WereSpielChequers! Happy new
Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too.

The sentence you removed addresses the prehistoric eco-disaster and is unrelated to events of the 1800s mentioned in the article later.

Hello WereSpielChequers. I need help. You were the first person I thought to turn to because you were the first one to come to my aid after I began. I am having a major problem right now, and I don't know who to turn to.
I am a very heavy contributor to the Spyro (series) article and all subsequent articles. Today, someone had the bright idea of taking the three Legend of Spyro articles, and merging them. I am opposed to this on a couple of fronts. One is that, going around merging isn't something you can do without a discussion and consensus. Another thing is that the three article were fairly good on there own (well maybe not one of them, but it could have been improved). I have since reverted those edits and started a discussion about the subject. However, during their massive blanking of the three respective articles, instead of just blanking one and giving it a little link to their new article, it was fully deleted. My biggest priority at this point is trying to raise that one article ( The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night) from the dead. I then would like someway to keep the three indanger articles from being changed.
I understand if you're not the person to help me and if you aren't could you please point me to someone who can help me.
Thank you. Wise dude321 ( talk) 17:24, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Dude, you realize it's going to reset when the page updates in a few days, right? :-)
While I don't necessarily agree with removing people, seeing admins have to waste time renumbering large tables pains me. Surely there are better uses of time.
I offered a while ago to script an exclusion mechanism if someone made a proper list (well, two lists, really, one of bots to be removed completely and one of people that should be replaced with "Placeholder"). If you're willing to make the two lists (and I think one already exists), I can do the rest.
Just an idea. Cheers. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 03:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, yes I figured from the refresh rate that I had a couple of days to finish something that would have been quite quick in excel and move it to replace the November list. But automation would make sense. The editors who want to be replaced with placeholder are here. A list of bots is more difficult, Category:Wikipedia bots by name claims to be such but only has 46. I removed all editors with "bot" in their name except for the following who I believe are not bots:
I've now created Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits/Not Bots for them.
I suspect you have already removed flagged bots and therefore need
Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits/unflagged bots, which needs updating, but has most of those I screened out I've just updated. I would think that for a weekly process having those three pages would enable changes to be made quite easily - ie any anomalies will be fixed on the run after they are added to the appropriate list.

Hi - since we had fun together with Muirhead, I was wondering if you could give me a little help now. While patrolling the old new pages backlog, I ran across this article, International Monetary Systems which shone out as so much better than the backlogged articles and indeed than many articles I get when I go looking for them intentionally that I thought it was worth nominating for a Good Article. It seems to me to have everything - good focused intro, clear organization and writing, inline citations, wiki and outside links, serious references. For goodness sakes it even manages to have good and relevant pictures, which for the topic is quite something. If you don't mind taking a look at it, could you leave your impressions on my talk page?

Hello WereSpielChequers. I understand from your message that you do not consider Admiral Maxteme's editing as vandalism, but I need to split hairs with you. Maxtreme has been rewriting various dragon ball episode summaries that I had done without my permission. Please understand that I have written these summaries first and I have no desire to waste my work. If you cannot consider this rude editing and overwriting as vandalism, I need your help to settle the matter. Whether Maxtreme is a sole contributer or not, it is simply insulting to act to this overwriting. I certainly don't do that. I give you my best wishes.

Apart from John Carter (who has suffered a loss in real life, and is taking a break from wikipedia), you are the only admin who has spoke to me, so I'll ask you.

I was actually wondering if I could create barnstars using images from wikipedia (not to add them to the main Barnstar list), although not right away, only if a situation arises that I need to. Like this:-

For users who either a) contribute to sea anemone related articles or b) claim to be sea anemones. |
(this is just to illustrate a point, dont consider it a barnstar, unless you really want to). Would this be permissible (if 'permissible' is a real word). Sorry if I've not worded the question well, I'm not a particularly good communicator. -- Spongefrog ( talk) 20:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Thnaks a lot for that. As I said, I would only make a Barnstar if a situation arose in which there is no suitable , or I want to make it more specific to what the user has done (although that will probably never happen). I'll have a look at that adoption programme you suggested. Bye. Spongefrog ( talk) 14:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I just got a Barnstar from someone called User:Alaphent, apparently it was awarded for giving him/her a Barnstar. I didn't give it (I'll refer to him/her as it, it saves typing time) a barnstar though. It actually has several barnstars on its page, but the page history doesn't show anyone giving it barnstars. User:John Carter has a Barnstar on its page, which I think was stolen from my barnstar page. It stole a Barnstar from Rkr1991, and they seem to share the same interests, so maybe they're the same person. You might want to check this out, maybe get a checkuser in, but I'm not sure how to go about reporting these things (which is why I'm asking here). (look at my new signature!)

Hi, your contributions at the above page are very welcome. However, in the interests of clarity countering of the points of others (when agreeing or disagreeing) is making the page unnecessarily long and confusing. One or two points is fine, so is addressing points directly raised to you. Please see comments here [2].The page is purely to assess how many people are interested and to find out the concerns they have. The worthiness of those views can be hotly debated elsewhere at a later date, assuming enough people feel the point is worth debating. Please feel free to agree or disagree with points or raise your own views in a seperate section. Hope you understand, I am trying to be unbiased but keep the page as concise as possible. Thanks.

I don't know whether you're interested in this or not but I'm trying to get a few other points of view so I figured I'd ask. After noticing the closest thing to prevention on the school shooting page involved arming teachers and shooting students at the last minute I thought there could be something better so I created the Preventing school violence article to link to it and have had a hard time convincing people not to delete links or the article itself. If it seems like something your interested in anything you put in will be apreciated. I'm just trying to correct something I consider seriously flawed. thanks Zacherystaylor ( talk) 19:54, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks whatever you do will be helpful. BTW I forgot to mention that I have created a seperate unofficial article to work on until this dispute is settled it is here: User:Zacherystaylor/preventing school violence This will help wpeople who are interested know what I'm trying to add and that it is all backed up by sources who have conducted research in the subject.

Thanks for your input and proof reading. I'll check the the stat about woman it came frome deBecker. some of the material is focused primarily on the USA but not all of it, social nature is esentualy the same world wide but different customs bring out different behavior. School shootings and violence isn't limited to the USA it is a problem worldwide althouth I'm not that familar with England. I vaguely recall a couple incidents from England or Scotland. As far as I know noplace is completely immune. I'm going to prepare a little more before I try to put things into the article or restore many links. I don't think any of the links were left to the article. I have tried to discuss things and will do so again after I do a little more on the article but am a little suprised at the respoce I am getting. Thanks Good day Zacherystaylor ( talk) 17:20, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Your probably right about that being a USA stat it is by a USA author. Your criticism is apreciated and helpful.

Hey there. A few months back you gave some excellent advise about an article I created when a new page patroller wanted to put it up for GA review. I didnt do much to progress it as it was more Alice who seemed interested in the process and I thought it could wait for her to get back from her wiki break. One article Ive wanted to be featured on the main page since I first arrived is Keynes. Im kind of hopeing its about ready to be a FA candidate or at least go to peer review, do you please have some time to look it over?

I was just here to ask you about this thing. A user who I know called User:SchnitzelMannGreek posted this on my page. Slightly confusing, but I'll tell you the jist of it. The category, [3] includes the sockpuppets that he made, and the bad ones the hacker made. He'd like the category split into bad ones and good ones. That's assuming you believe his excuse. After this incident he's made solely constructive edits and got rollback rights. User:Inferno, Lord of Penguins, who was also a victim (see the category), believes him, and I'm sure many more would.

And, my opposes of atheists have nothing to do with any prejudice against atheists, which I do not have, and everything to do with the userboxes that some atheists apparently think are a good idea.

Hi WSC i noticed that you on the 20th of August 2009 at 11:22 deleted an attackpage [4] that i had tagged with a template from the ' what-to-do' wiki article. The reason i'm here is because yesterday an administrator warned me for putting a template in the userpage of the person that created the article in question(which is standard proceedure) and claimed i did this in error. Please have a look these two discussions
I received a personal attack for putting this template warning in the userpage of the article's creator, as a result i adviced the user Ingoman not to make such personal attacks in the future again or i would report him. The administrator however believes the personal attack was justified because the incorporated template text in his opinion seemed strange. Was i wrong for putting that template in the userpage and is a user obligated to change the words of the incorporated text, even if it's perfectly relevant? I'm very interested in your opinion.-- Scoobycentric ( talk) 03:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I don´t think that tilde issue prevents growth of es-WP. In fact, you've probably been unlucky with the sample: Spanish LatinAmerica keyboards usually have the tilde just right of the "ñ" key (n-tilde). Besides that, below the edition box in es-WP there is a "help box" with accented characters (you can choose from a dropdown menu to use the most common sign in Spanish, or all the Latin alphabets diacritical marks, IPA, German, Arab, etc.).
Yes, they usually charge a little fee for taking photos. If you want to contribute your collection to the sets we took during our "expedition" to the Museum and the Observatory, please find the proper sub-category within commons:Category:Museo de la Plata.

File:London Duck under Lambeth Bridge.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:London Duck under Lambeth Bridge.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:London Duck under Lambeth Bridge.jpg]].

Hey WSC, please take a look at the following discussion at the Horn of Africa talkpage, as you can see; the individual by the name of Liban80 was promoting an original research definition, which was quikly corrected by me and several other wikipedians, he then went on to ask for a 'third opinion' (nevermind the fact that those who were against his theory numbered more than two), he received a similar response there, but despite all of this, Liban80 has continued in his canvassing to such an extant that it now resembles a real campaign for his OR material, see here:
It seems Liban80 is shopping for the right opinion, and won't stop until he gets it -- Scoobycentric ( talk) 18:14, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! The more the merrier.

<--Thanks for the cough--I left that for you, figuring you'd know how USGS maps work. Also, this edit was at almost the same time as my correction of the same error: I say this in my defense. As for Peakbaggers, I have some faith in them, and if it's a geographical feature, it's pretty much automatically notable, no? I'll keep looking. Drmies ( talk) 01:24, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
I disagree that it is vandalism, but even if it is, the additional vandal tags on my talk page are not justified. It is not vandalism to question another user's edits on their talk page. I am more concerned about these other, over the top accusations. Next time I make an edit, people are going to look at the talk page and think I am some kind of troublemaker. It is this trashing someone's reputation without cause that I am identifying as the problem. -- 67.253.153.213 ( talk) 14:59, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you withdrew from the WikiCup because gnomish edits are no longer counted. I have proposed a few awards which might be appropriate to the kind of edits which aren't credited by the WikiCup at Wikipedia talk:WikiCup#Awards for other types of editors. One of them, for the gnomes, is the redlink above. I figured you, as a self-described gnome, might have some ideas as to how to structure such a contest, and would welcome any input you might have.

Hi. Thanks for replying before..I was wondering, how do we know when an article has passed the "notability guidelines" after being tagged as not notable? Does an admin have to approve it? Thanks again. ( Omirocksthisworld ( talk) 06:21, 3 October 2009 (UTC))
Thanks for your suggestion to check out strategy:Participation/Attracting new participants and retaining existing participants. I agree with your point that my concern is more directed at retaining admins, and the RfA discussion page should be more narrowly focused on the process of creating new admins. I haven't yet decided what to do, that site seems more like an essay than a plan of action, but its a start.-- SPhilbrick T 19:25, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

A quick note about User:WereSpielChequers/Dec09. In user talks where content doesn't fill up 100% of the page (ie with a css 'float' sidebar, as on mine), the fact that the images are just regularly Wikicode-assigned to go to the left and right can be problematic. I don't think including them in a div (the Xmas box) really has any impact on where they end up aligned. Play around with my talk page, including the content in a div or adding padding to the sidebar does nothing to fix the problem. Maybe you should use tables (since we can't really use css fully) to align the pictures. — what a crazy random happenstance 07:01, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
Hi WereSpielChequers, have a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2010!
