I noticed that you don't even have an RFA. I was fairly surprised, as you are a very productive and useful editor. Is this because the area you edit in (mostly adoption and DYK's, right?) does not require use of admin tools? Ryan Vesey ( talk) 03:43, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Worm,
I'm thinking of going in for an editor review now that I've finished my mentoring programme to see what other editors think of me now. How exactly should I go about it and what sort of reviews should I expect? What will they be commenting on? and things like that. Thanks for your help as ever Worm, Rcsprinter (talk) 19:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

As you can see I have successfully managed to change my name to remove the frustrating umlaut but I'm not sure how that affects our various pages.
Apparently the formatting of the web urls I've used on Elizabeth Maitland, Duchess of Lauderdale isn't satisfactory for DYK.
And, of course, congratulations on your successful RfA! Reichsfurst ( talk) 07:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi again. I saw your note to Δ and just wanted to let you know about Wikipedia:Fixing non-free image problems, if you didn't already. This is a document that Ched Davis and I wrote to help people understand why a non-free image was removed from an article; Δ has been kind enough to link to it in his edit summaries. Any suggestions you have for making that doc more user-friendly and/or publicizing its existence more widely to folks to help prevent edit-warring over images would be much appreciated! Thanks, 28bytes ( talk) 16:21, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

NPP is still in a very sorry state. I've done my daily NPP stint today and I've warned more patrollers about wrong PRODS and CSD than I have deleted articles. I'm thinking of starting a mentorship programm for New Page Patrollers - they just don't seem to read our page at WP:NPP that Snottywong and I rewrote some while back. Would it be a good idea? Have you any advice to give me? The next step is probably going to be an RfC to make NPP a user right like reviewer. Cheers, -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 06:10, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Ryan Vesey has recently asked for access to AWB; however, due to his limited experience and this recent incident, reasons which made me wary of granting him access to a tool that might create a massive mess if misused, I have declined his request; Rian has invited me to ask for your opinion, though, for you have extensively worked with him since the block and he feels you should be able to offer an opinion as to his fitness to handle the tool; so, if you wish, I'd welcome a comment from you here. Thanks and cheers. Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:03, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Hey Worm! I'm having extreme difficulties with this specific anon., User talk:94.21.194.220, on articles Zsolt Semjén & György Matolcsy. S/he keeps on adding paragraph(s) of information that have not been sourced. I have reverted them 6 times on each article (yes that is 3 times over 3RR, but I'm reverting under a 3RR Exempt: "Removal of libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced contentious material that violates the policy on biographies of living persons (BLP).")...This anon. just won't stop, and in each revert I have made, I have mentioned in the edit summary: "Unsourced - See WP:OR" and in one of the edits, the editor come accross it and has asked what "OR" means (obviously to mock me). The cherry on top is that the editor called me (excuse me for saying this) a "Fucking Idiot" ( This and This) And although I have come accross in my 8 months here many rude editors, I think this one is a bit of a stretch, and really disrespectful, because I was just doing the right thing and removing unsourced (probably false..who knows) material from Wikipedia. It kind of kills me inside knowing that I can't take control of an issue and that I have to ask for an Administrators assistance, but I have run out of options. -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 13:43, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
User:Kiefer.Wolfowitz made the following edit [1] at Denial of Death. Are articles on books which use the book itself as one of its citations OR? The user strongly opposed my RfA and seemed to reveal a strong POV in doing so. In addition externally cited material (material for which the source was not the book itself) was also removed. Seems more like this user has an axe to grind, based on his reference to schizophrenia on my RfA. An additional reason for my comment is to address a statement you made on my talk page: "What's more, the outcome of your RfA has little or no effect on anything outside of RfA, there is unlikely to be any consequences". I just get the vibe that this edit was solely made as a consequence of my RfA, from a user who really did not appreciate my request. I have contributed little to the article in question (I don't generally start/edit articles on books) , but do maintain a great interest in the book. Thanks for your feedback. -- TimL ( talk) 10:45, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Could you check to see that I correctly attributed Thomas Bridges (Anglican missionary) in the page I am creating at User:Ryan Vesey/Missions to Patagonia? Ryan Vesey ( talk) 18:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
What we need is either a bot or a 'press button' script that can check voters for members who have registered less than 7 days (168 hours) before transclusion, blocked users, and users against whom an SPI has ever been filed. Some Wikipedias have similar feature or a 'check yo ur eligibility to vote' It is feasible here? It could be useful too if ever we introduce minima for voters.-- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:18, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I am trying to start a bot. I have read the bot policy, and the box at WP:Bots/Requests for approval/Instructions for bot operators, and made an unblock request at its talk page (where you can see what it'll do), but I can't really write Perl or anything. You may not be the botty person either, but I'd thought I'd ask as you're my mentor. And admin, who I look up to. Rcsprinter (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I know you run an adoption school and there is a user that in my opinion could really use it. They appear to want to edit but are having trouble with Wiki-spam issues.

If I plan to be quoting fairly extensively from a book, should I cite the exact page number for each quote in the references? I would like to group the references by chapter to work down the number of them considerably, i.e. quotation 1 would come from chapter one which would be cited as pages 1-27, all citations from chapter one would receive that citation. I know I can't just cite the entire book. Ryan Vesey Review me! 12:32, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

If I take a picture of the cover of a book, can I upload it to commons as a free use file or is it still not considered my own work? Ryan Vesey contribs 04:40, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

I am trying to start a bot. I have read the bot policy, and the box at WP:Bots/Requests for approval/Instructions for bot operators, and made an unblock request at its talk page (where you can see what it'll do), but I can't really write Perl or anything. You may not be the botty person either, but I'd thought I'd ask as you're my mentor. And admin, who I look up to. Rcsprinter (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I know you run an adoption school and there is a user that in my opinion could really use it. They appear to want to edit but are having trouble with Wiki-spam issues. Could you take a look and maybe offer to help them? User_talk:Since_10.28.2010. This will not be an easy one in my opinion, but if you do take it on then good luck.--v/r - T P 19:47, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Please disregard the commitment I made in the email. When I wrote it, I had forgotten the reason I had not made the commitment earlier, I will be gone for 2 weeks and will rarely be on Wikipedia in that time period. Ryan Vesey contribs 06:13, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

So, articles are not being speedy deleted. Do you want to take a look at my CSD log or wherever you go to see the articles that are tagged for speedy deletion and delete some of them? Ryan Vesey contribs 14:15, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey Worm,
I just applied for AWB, thought I'd try it out. Could you help to explain it a bit more? Adam mugliston Talk 21:45, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for teaching me about templates. I just created this one and I could never have done it without you. Ryan Vesey Review me! 04:53, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
If I plan to be quoting fairly extensively from a book, should I cite the exact page number for each quote in the references? I would like to group the references by chapter to work down the number of them considerably, i.e. quotation 1 would come from chapter one which would be cited as pages 1-27, all citations from chapter one would receive that citation. I know I can't just cite the entire book. Ryan Vesey Review me! 12:32, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

If I am writing an article about a British ship, should I automatically use the format Day Month Year or should I just write however I normally would? Ryan Vesey Review me! 01:53, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
