Hi, Thanks for comming to help :)
I was woundering if there was a template warning that you can put on a users talk after they have edited an article to add a raceist comment? Click here to see the comment Tiddly Tom 21:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
You have made several reverts to St. Faiths School. Just giving you a heads up about the Three Revert Rule. Tiddly Tom 18:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) I forgot about that... take a look at the top of the page... see that thing that says "warn?" Click it. Twinkle is awesome. ARV is for those who pass the fourth level warning, that reports them to the admins. Gscshoyru 21:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Proposed deleted. Deffinaly automatic. It just informed them, not an offical 'warning'. I woundered IF I could set it to automatily inform the user that I had nomonated their articl for speedy deletion, and explain what to do. Thanks! Tiddly Tom 18:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Laura Kuenssberg, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. In my opiton, this person is not noteable enough, Tiddly Tom 21:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
I see you have marked some articles for speedy deletion! Can I recommend Twinkle as it is a very useful tool! I started using it yesterday, and like it very much :) Any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Tiddly Tom 17:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm pretty much a quality manager on Wikipedia. =D Can you use Twinkle™ to delete obvious vandalism pages if no one else has edited it? Thanx,SpartytimeTalkMy Wikia 17:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Unless you are an admin, you cannot delete the page, but you can very quickly mark it for speedy deletion, it opens the users talk page, and allows you to very quickly tell them what you have done (using the templates). Try it out! It's Great! Tiddly Tom 17:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Isn't that what I've been doing without Twinkle? I imported it a couple days ago, haven't really been able to use it, though.SpartytimeTalkMy Wikia 18:01, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
This is my point :) With Twinkle, all this can be done much quicker. Try it out :) Tiddly Tom 18:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
The removal tag you placed on the article I created Target Express is irrelevant as the company is no longer trading, therefore why would I be advertising a company that does not even exist anymore!
--Almacel 22:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I still feel the article is relavant to the page regarding Initial City Link.
Thanks

Hi Tiddly Tom! Welcome to Wikipedia! I've been editing it for over three years now, and have contributed thousands of articles. One of the magical things about Wikipedia is that if you know very little about a subject, you can create a stub article about that subject and other people will come along and fill in the information for you! I've done this numerous times, and some truly noteworthy articles have sprung up as a result. My most recent stub is Nina Andersson, and I suggest that you watch and see how it grows in the next few weeks as other users contribute to it, rather than presuming that it's not noteworthy and marking it for speedy deletion! Happy Wiki-ing! Luvcraft 22:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Tiddly Tom! Welcome to Wikipedia! I've been editing it since 2005 and have contributed on a regular basis. the Anjelah Johnson wasn't even finished yet. As you should know, creating a new page takes time. You have to insert references and double check spelling and so forth. Given that editing is a long process, if a user believes a new page is not right, out of common courtesy, they raise their concerns on the discussion page of the article and they discuss the matter before they start nominating pages for deletion. It's just polite to do that than presuming that it's not noteworthy and marking it for speedy deletion! Stay cool! (Deej30 22:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC))
What do you mean? Mykonos Mike 21:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Please reply on my talk page if possible, thanks At the moment, I use twinkle, and it is great! I was woundering weather I could use your bot as well for when I nononate an article for speedy delete, it automaticly informs the user I have done so? Thank You! Tiddly Tom 17:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
I started this page in very good faith. Please explain further what was wrong with it. Oh, and please don't patronize me. I have much more seniority on the WIKI than you and I've NEVER "experimented" as you like to call it. Space Cadet 19:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have sceen on some user pages (I cant remember which) a box that explains how many incodents of vandilism they have revered, how many articles they have created ect. I woudered if you knew how I could put this on my user page, and if it updates its self. It is not just a user box, it is a table of its own. I know I havent been overly clear, but it is hard to explan. Thank You! Tiddly Tom 21:47, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
4 | This user has started 4 articles |
Speedy for A7, non notable, is restricted to people for whom no good-faith claim of notability is made. Saying someone has won a prize, or is a public official, or a professor, or has published a book, or anything else which is more than pure bull-shit is a claim of importance, and speedy cannot be used. If you think that such a person is not notable despite the claim, the method of deletion to use is WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Speedy is an important tool for us in geting rid of trash. do not overuse it.
Anyway, almost always presidents of major companies, professors at major universities, authors with more than one book published by important publishers, etc. are found notable at AfD. DGG (talk) 22:28, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your concern to Zaikyō kī kyoku. I am translating it from Japanese and I add translation tag Wikipedia:Translation/Zaikyō kī kyoku to it.

Thanks for the message of support. The reason I didn't revert again is because the original comment was posted by an admin, and I don't feel like getting into an edit war. I've left a message on that user's talkpage in case their account has been used by an unauthorised person. Please feel free to remove the comment completely if you wish - I certainly think it's absurd enough to merit being deleted without warning, as per WP:CITE#Unsourced material! --Malfidus ~ (talk) 17:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

((helpme))
I have been trying to do something, but coudant get it to work, maybe someone else could help? I wondered whether I could have a few boxes like the ones at the top of peoples talk pages that encorages users to leave them a new message, but for this page. When clicked it would allow users to make a new request, in the correct manner. This would not only be very helpful here, but on other pages aswell. Thanks Tiddly Tom 12:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
If you're looking for help on statusbot, probably easier to ask the maintainer/owner (me). So you know, it says "Invalid Status" for up to 5 minutes until it runs through and creates the statuspage for you. I am hoping to reduce this timeframe soon, but for now it can take a little while.

No thanks, that project is my favourite and i'm going start getting active on it again. Thanks for the offer :) --Mollsmolyneux 11:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Any code that would "automatically" do this (e.g., load the data and save it for you like popups or TW does) would have to be a javascript code which I can't write and people would have to install for it to work anyway. On the other hand, I can write a link similar to the ones I did previously that opens a "Requested Assessments" section on the page for editing. People would then have to manually enter the information and save it themselves. It'd be the same deal with the category, only that would be a tad more difficult to manage simply because it's a talk page and subject to being screwed around with constantly. I could add a "review" parameter to the talk page header, where if it's set to 1 or something add the page to that category and adds a note in the template. Let me know if this is what you were looking for - it won't take me that long to implement any of it, I just need to know what to do. Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Tiddly Tom, Thanx again for your helping hands yesterday.
I have learned a lot the last 3 days, and I'm very impressed about Wikipedia and all the possibilities.
Ofcourse I used this site many years already, but now I'm working on it myself, I have a lot of respect for all the people that spend their time for it.
I still have 2 questions:
No need to hurry. Have a nice Sunday first. I can wait until tomorrow ;-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winfriedpovel (talk • contribs) 17:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey there,
Blackadder's member list is alphabetical I believe - I used to be Addyboy which is why I'm high on it, I've done next to nothing with it. OFAH I started, and would be fine with merging with BBC. Not a great deal of editing goes on with those articles these days, so I don't think I need consensus for it. Blackadder I can't take responsibility for however.Caissa's DeathAngel 14:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for showing your support for me in my recent RfA. Unfortunately, I was unable to earn the required consensus and did not succeed. I do hope to put in another request in a few months, once I have improved upon the concerns addressed by the rest of the participants. Your expressed trust in me will definitely help me reach that goal. Thank you again, and happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC) |

hi i am rosler i am sorry to say that i do not agree with some of the things that you don't allow on this site and i would be grateful if you reconsider COASTAL KOI that i recently added. On the speedy deletion notice you said that you are not allowed to write about bands etc. well how about all the pages on bands such as oasis etc. i am frankly disgusted and i want a reply to this notice please!!!!!!!!!!

for the encouragment! I found the problem on your page chasing a vandal from the high school wiki page where I teach. I am slowly feeling my way through the maze of what is standard practice in this community. Your post has helped. Thanks again. MST64 05:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay I fixed the horizontal scrolling issues caused by people placing indents before text. But also the layout issues on the /talk sub page, (like the box spacing, the text overlapping, etc.) I can fix those adding parameters, etc., but keep the look exactly the same. Would you like me to go ahead and do the fixes, or to create a subpage in my userspace with how it will look and have you see that prior to putting changes in? Ariel♥Gold 21:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Testing new layout Ariel♥Gold 21:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay, you wanted the archive box to have round borders, but it looked really bad, when the others aren't round. Personally, I think that in some layouts, the round borders are nice, but not for this one. This layout is simple, muted colors, masculine, clean, and rounded corners sort of detract from that "clean"-ness, the crisp corners are nicer I think, but it is your page, so it is up to you. If you want all round, that's fine I can do that. I like this layout, personally. Ariel♥Gold 07:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for your message!
I also use Lupin's Anti Vandal tool. It is pretty good for me but I haven't tried any others.
I don't think Twinkle would be the best solution for me because I normally use IE and Zonealarm unless I am on my Linux box. Is it worth using? Doyley 19:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tiddly Tim, thanks for your message about the Shane Woewodin edit, I'm not really sure what happened because I was trying to revert revision 164244967 by 58.168.239.70 which was clearly vandalism and somehow it's ended up looking like I made the original edit. I just clicked the undo button for that revision, any clues on what I've done wrong for next time?
PJohnson 09:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
What was happening was that you had the talk page header on a subpage, so when someone clicked the link, their comment went to an empty subpage's talk page, instead of to this talk page. It was being deleted because it was seen as a talk page with no corresponding userpage. I fixed it with a less than ideal solution, if you ever change your name, the header will need to be fixed, but the only other way to fix it was to move it out of a subpage, so... Anyway, I used the "click here to leave a message" link to leave this comment, so we know it works. If you want to see the other page's history, it is here. I tried to figure out why it was going to that page, but maybe I'm just not awake fully yet or something, I couldn't fix it, and decided to just nuke the code and place a raw URL instead. Ariel♥Gold 12:05, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
First, you have to install the script on your username. To do this, go to your personal scripts page Special:Mypage/monobook.js, type ((subst:js|User:ais523/catwatch.js)) at the end, and save. (Installing any other script can be done the same way. However, you shouldn't change your monobook.js page unless you intend to install a script, and you shouldn't install a script from a source you don't trust (the scripts on WikiProject User scripts should be fine).) You then have to bypas your browser cache; see Wikipedia:Bypass your cache for instructions on doing this on your browser.
Most scripts are installed at this point, but with the category watchlist script, you then have to specify which categories you want to watch. If you visit your watchlist, you will get a message box asking you whether you want to create a category watchlist; choose 'OK' or 'Yes', and then you will be taken to a page in your userspace where you can specify which categories to watch. Then all you have to do is edit that page according to the instructions there, save it, and bypass your cache again; the script will then be installed.
Let me know if there are any problems. Hope that helps! --ais523 10:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
If you want to tell me how saying "doubts remain over the identity of his biological father" constitutes libel, I'll listen- for example, who, precisely, am I libelling? But the fervency with which my rev has been deleted repeatedly is alarming- there is a number of wikipedians demonstrating dogmatism worthy of al-queda.. User:84.221.71.33
Ok I am sorry for what happened but it was not me. 2 boys in my US Studies class were editing bad stuff into this and I was trying to stop them. So I realize you were just doing your job, but I was trying to stop them. I just wanted to let you know, because there was a lot of Ben and Cullen names. I am so sorry for them, they were just being childish boys. -Bsportschick3
It was vandalism. Thank you, Tom. Into The Fray T/C 14:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
