Barnstars and so on are regarded as pretty much useless over here. If we grow, and have all the core articles sorted, then maybe. Also, would you mind changing your signature? The image isn't visible over here and I can't read any of the links in Mozilla. Archer7 17:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[1] vs [2], and "luffa" isn't recognized by a UK dictionary at all[3] (and is just a variant according to a US dictionary[4]). I think it should be at loofah. Freshstart 22:18, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Would you mind taking a look at my WikiReader proposal on Wikipedia:Simple talk? I think it could be a fantastic way to go for the Simple English encyclopedia. Archer7 16:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Why do you think I am a vandal? I have written many nice stories on here, and am trying very hard to write good stories. Please can you look at them for me. I was banned from the English Wikipedia, and it was supposed to stop today, but they have forgotten to unban me. I was not banned for vandalism. I was banned because I wanted to improve an article on the Port Arthur massacre and add references, when the article had no references before. I did not vandalise any article. I tried to make them good. 203.122.203.145 12:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Actually, it's not that unsourced. Besides that it's well-known that indeed many tourists come for the red light district and the coffeeshops, it was also in the papers a few years ago that tourists gave it the nr.1 reason to be in Amsterdam.
Furthermore, Amsterdam has no dikes. The Netherlands does, nearby the sea, but Amsterdam isn't nearby the sea at all. 213.84.109.51 16:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar, it's much appreciated! I just wish I could be around a bit more now. Archer7 - talk 18:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
You're making an all-too-common mistake that many people make when they com from en: wikipedia. You feel like simple is missing some very critical templates, categories, and articles... and are just copying them here to help. I understand that desire. What you need to realize is that "Simple" does not just refer to the language. We choose to focus on core articles. We use a small set of templates and a very loose categorization. We are not another en: wikipedia. You will find that several things you've added are going to be deleted; and where you've intentionally created stubs, you'll be asked to merge the articles into more major areas. -- Netoholic @ 06:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
IF you would like to redirect them to Lower Saxony, I am not opposed. Just do not intentionally leave dozens of stubs around. All that does is require more work from people in the future. Quaiity is emminently better than quantity here. -- Netoholic @ 07:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
RfD is for pages which require discussion. -- Netoholic @ 07:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Nothing about what I've said should make you feel like I think you did anything but act in good faith. CORE is not a policy, it is a philosophy, to keep Simple from drifting into complexity. -- Netoholic @ 07:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Meta:Foundation issues describes the core items wiki's need to follow. The "wiki process" as the final authority on content. Consensus, per se, is not mentioned. When someone comes out of nowhere and starts creating dozens of intentional stubs and complex templates, etc... I think the proper wiki process is to contact that party and reverse things to a more natural editing pace. -- Netoholic @ 07:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Deleting articles created out of good faith without any discussion or consensus whatsoever is a clear violation of Wikipedia's basic guidelines. Please remember that Wikipedia is a community-based project.--TBCΦtalk? 06:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the barnstar Ksbrown 18:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Blocking I was blocked on en., so I was using this as a sandbox. You'll see that I'm putting ((delete)) on these pages, too. Koavf 17:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I think that welcome message was the most complex simple English I've ever read. ;) Anyway, thanks for the welcome. Cheers! BillG | Talk 12:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for removing the smiley image from your signature, since that's a bad practice for many reasons and now shows up on dozens of pages. I think you can go further also by removing the font tags, just so that the page source is easy to read. -- Netoholic @ 20:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
TBC, thanks for the barnstar! I really appreciate it. :) Happy editing, Tangotango 16:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering if there is such thing as "Good Articles" and "Featured Articles", like in the main English Wikipedia??? RaNdOm26 17:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
thanks for changing my article on Dora the Explorer so quickly Mcc 23:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Dear TBC, you have been a great user here. Thank you for your great contributions. Keep them coming! -- Tdxiang @ 09:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Nah, it's okay... do you want me to double-barnstar TBC, PullToOpen?-- Tdxiang @ 11:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
On the template I made, Template:Clear, what do you mean by a Miscellaneous template? cuz I'm sort-of confused but I actually got this from Template:Clear. thanx. --§ Alastor Moody (T + C) 06:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi TBC, thank you for categorizing all those templates :) I've noticed that in several instances you've inadvertently inserted a trailing line break while categorizing templates, meaning that they now leave a new line in articles where they're used. In some cases, this is not a problem; in other cases, they make the page look a bit ugly. When you categorize a template, please be sure to put the <noinclude> right after the last ending tag in the template; leave no spaces or new lines. For example, if a template ends with |}, do:
|}<noinclude> [[Category:Nice templates]] </noinclude>
instead of
|} <noinclude> [[Category:Nice templates]] </noinclude>
Thanks, and happy editing! - Tangotango (talk) 09:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Are there any very good articles around here that I could use as a model for writing good Simple English? Is there some sort of list or category that lists the best articles in Simple Wiki (a bit like featured articles in English Wiki)????? RaNdOm26 17:40, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I'll have to agree with Alastor Moody and Archer7. Though you may be a bureaucrat, please don't act without consensus from the community or warn users who's edits were in good intention, as such is a breach of both Wikipedia's guidelines on civility and assuming good faith.--TBCΦtalk? 01:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello, TBC. Please note that dates go like this:Numerals first, then the month. Thank you!-- Tdxiang 10:06, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you think that fighting vandalism will help me gain respect quickly in the community? Also what else should I do to gain respect?--Sir James Paul 21:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi TBC, I've sent you an email a few days ago. Could you take a quick look and tell me what you think? Thanks, Archer7 - talk 13:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I have simplified now. If you think that is enough and the meaning did not change please take out "unsimple". --Cethegus 16:33, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I'm closing the RfC at Meta and tranwiki'ing it over here. Is there any page you can direct me that I could post the contents from Meta discussion to? I saw Simple talk, but I wasn't sure if that was the best place. Thanks in advance! Nishkid64 21:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I have done a selective restoration on your talk page to get rid of the link that was added by a vandal to your talk page. The link was to a website that had personal information of everybody's favorite KMcA on it. Cheers, PTO 23:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm glad I found you here too. At the English Wikipedia my nickname is Rosameliamartinez. I gave you a barnstar one year ago and you said,"thank you" last month LOL
I have five questions about the Simple English Wikipedia. (I hope you become my teacher and tell me how this Wikipedia works :)
1. How do I add the pictures of me that I have at the English Wikipedia to this Wikipedia?
2.How do I change the colors in my signature? (I think it does not work in the same way as in the English Wikipedia :( )
3. Are there barnstars and userboxes at the Simple English Wikipedia?
4. How do I change the color of my talk page? At the Englisg Wikipedia it is pink. I like pink. I want my talk page at the Simple English Wikipedia to be the same pink. Could you change my talk page's color to pink please?
5. Do you think my simple English is good simple English or bad simple English? (I think I sound like Tarzan LOL) Please respond in my talk page. Adiós Surfer Rosa (talk) 01:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar!
I really felt like giving out a Barnstar, and I noticed you hadn't gotten any in the last, oh, just few years! Very good job lately (and welcome back). Cheers -- America †alk 05:12, 9 July 2008 (UTC) |

Huh? :P -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 05:33, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
If you're still on, can you rollback all of Kotla Mohsin Khan (talk · contribs)'s edits? Pure vandalism, but with only the undo function it will take way too long. Rollback is easier but I'm not an admin. I'll try to do it manually for now. Cassandra 06:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
My reply here. And you did change the wording of your offer. :P That's why my first reply sounded odd. :) -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 20:19, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
(paste-copied by oNaNcle from a closed CU request)
I offered to nominate RyanCross when he hits the three month mark after interacting with him and seeing how much he's contributed to the site. If it was in the proximity of another nomination (based off the above comments, I'm assuming Cassandra?), then it's totally coincidental. There is no cabal here. (or is there? :o)--TBC 08:52, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I have no issue with that close, well done. :-) —Giggy 09:29, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey there TBC. I was wondering if you could look over the Green Day article I'm trying to promote to WP:GA, and make some copyedits. I'm busy creating the red links on the article. You can help with the red links if you want. You can start from the bottom. :) So, can you help? Thanks in advance. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 23:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Heads up: [5] —Giggy 08:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
The very basic problem with neutral votes is counting them. In theroy, they add a vote, but they do neither add a support nor an oppose vote. To avoid overcomplicated math we decided they were no neutral votes. If you do however think this is wrong, please bring it up on simple talk; other than that, WP:CFA has proven pretty successful.--Eptalon (talk) 08:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
You still online? If you are, please let me know at my talk page. Cheers, Razorflame 02:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Just a note, but you might want to change the links in your signature, as they lead back to ye olde screenname :). Cheers, Razorflame 03:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
A'ight. - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:59, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
What is your reason for this revert? If you have sources that say he is a student, add them. If you can find no sources that the person attended the school, add it in the edit summary or say it on the talk page. But by no means rollback with an automatic edit summary, not explaining anything. — Jonas Rand · (talk) 06:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
I don't mind you making the phrasing more neutral, but I do mind you changing what the reference says. The rerferences do NOT say that "homeopathy is considered less effective", they say that they can delay people getting life-saving treatments, and that many homeopaths actively discourage patients away from basic preventative medicine such as vaccines.
Dilution and succussion - a serial dilution with shaking at each step - is at the core of homeopathy. If it sounds silly, that's their fault.
You get the idea. I don't mind it being edited, but Giggy by his own admission didn't check the sources and got a lot of things completely wrong. So don't presume that an NPOV version means mixing his inaccurate text in with things I took great care to make sure were concordant with the standard medical view on homeopathy.
And for god's sake, don't presume that because dilution and succussion sounds silly that it's not core to homeopathic beliefs. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Admittedly, I did simplify a bit - it can also be diluted in alcohol, sugar, or the like. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
This is exactly what I meant. It always happens. — AE (talk) 04:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I basically "exported" the Basic English Dictionary to wiktionary and am adding spanish and italian definitions (and adding sanskrit and japanese later). I've a theory that languages are "the communication between minds using pointers (known as words), divided in sounds and structured in writting sytems". That means that to learn a new language we just need to add pointers (words) and learn the basic structure (which may include different writting systems).--Esteban.barahona (talk) 05:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
The e-mail I just sent you included my part of the thing (you know). I am going on vacation all weekend and won't be able to do it myself. But, to the community, I do approve it and wrote it myself. Thank you. -- American Eagle (talk) 03:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have found your name on the project page User:A Link to the Past/WikiProject Video games. I have an interest in this topic myself and have done much work on wiki articles related to video games so I have added my name to the list and I have started a vote on Wikipedia:Simple talk to have the project approved and moved out to its proper place WP:Video games. I am announcing this to all members and asking you to come and vote your support if possible. G Luck ~ R.T.G 02:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
