Re: Problem with Comments in Local Time

If you're using Internet Explorer then I think the script might have stopped working in that browser. I'll get around to fixing it in a day or two. Gary King (talk) 00:08, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Merit badge

You just did a cut & paste move of Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America) to Merit badge— this is not the proper way to do a move and has been reverted. Please see Help:Moving a page for how to properly move a page. Since Merit badge already existed, it would require an admin to do a proper move. Please discuss on the article talk page your reasoning for the move. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 16:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I made the move because the disambiguation page lists only two articles: Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America) and Merit badge (Scouting Ireland). I thought it would be simpler if Merit badge was about BSA merit badges, with a note about Merit badge (Scouting Ireland). I am fairly certain that BSA merit badges are what most readers would be looking for, so the disambiguation page doesn't seem necessary to me. If I redirected Merit badge to Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America), it wouldn't result in moving any content. What are your thoughts? 95j (talk) 17:29, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
The way you did it was wrong; it is fixed, and if you learn from the help page, then we are OK. You can propose the move on the talk page and announce it at WP:SCOUT. There are other organizations that use the merit badge system (American Heritage Girls in the U.S.), so there is a potential for other articles. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 18:26, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
I would not support the move if there are other articles about merit badges. However, I am not sure which articles you are referring to. Could you add links to those articles on the disambiguation page? 95j (talk) 18:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Other articles do not yet exist, but there is potential. We do have some bias towards the BSA, simply because of the demography of our editors, but we do try to keep appropriate articles global. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 19:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
I do understand how the move could be biased towards the BSA. Therefore, I will leave the disambiguation page as it is. Thanks for explaining the situation to me. As for the invite to WikiProject Scouting, I am not yet a very experienced editor, but I will definitely consider joining once I become more experienced. 95j (talk) 21:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
No experience or commitment required. Joining any project simply states that you are interested in editing articles within the purview of the project. The invitation has links to some standards for editing Scouting articles. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 01:00, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
In that case, I'd be glad to join. So all I have to do is add my name to the members page? 95j (talk) 19:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Yep. It's only two hours a week. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 21:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Great. I'm signed up. 95j (talk) 21:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Category:Brendan_Perry_albums

Hello, I have added a supplementary information from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums#Categories about a request you declined at Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Redirects#Category_request:_Category:Brendan_Perry_albums. 62.147.62.170 (talk) 19:12, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. I have created the category and its talk page as you requested. 95j (talk) 19:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

June 2010

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 10). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. 117Avenue (talk) 00:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that-I made a mistake with Huggle in reverting the IP's edits, because at first they appeared to simply remove content, but I now see that I accidentally restored vandalism. 95j (talk) 00:17, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
No problem, these things happen in a flurry of mass vandalism and edit warring. 117Avenue (talk)

Thanks...

For reverting vandalism on my talk page! I owe you one. ;) Salvio ( Let's talk 'bout it!) 23:00, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. 95j (talk) 23:00, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Mary Becker Green

Hello 95j. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Mary Becker Green, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:26, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Status template

I recently added User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate to my userpage, but it doesn't work as it says it should. Specifically, the "update" links are supposed to change the user's status automatically, but they just lead me to the edit window for my status page. I followed all the instructions on the template's page, including adding the appropriate script to my monobook.js page. What else do I need to do to make it work properly? 95j (talk • contribs) 03:23, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Several other users have had this problem; see User talk:Hersfold. However, {{statustop}} mentions another script that may work better; I recommend you try that. Robert Skyhawk (T C B) 03:30, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
That script works fine (and {{statustop}} is much less obtrusive). Thanks for your help. 95j (talk • contribs) 04:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you reblocked me on this site, changing the block that I has placed on myself. I'm just curious as to why you did this, as I left in good standing, and I requested that rights be removed. You, in essence, hard blocked me... ensuring that if I ever did want to return, I couldn't. Why? Dusti*poke* 03:33, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the email block, which I did just to ensure that if someone were to get into your account (since I assumed you wouldn't be monitoring your Test Wiki account after you resigned), they wouldn't be able to send emails under your name. I apologize if hardblocking wasn't the correct thing to do in your situation; however, you seemed pretty convinced on Skizzerz's talk page that you weren't coming back. 95j (talk • contribs) 03:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
I always use a strong password, (as I run my own test wiki at this site which you're more than welcome to join, however, hardblocking a user (or even blocking account creation on a good standing user), is inappropriate, as I have done nothing wrong. If someone blocks themselves, it's best to leave the block settings in their current position as they set the settings themselves and have probably thought things through already. Dusti*poke* 03:47, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
You seem to think that I disabled account creation for you as well (was that your IP who left a message on my Test Wiki talk page?), but according to your block log, you disabled account creation in your original block. Regardless, I won't modify self-block settings in the future. 95j (talk • contribs) 03:58, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Impact Pro Wrestling NZ

The page already exists at Impact Pro Wrestling. If you're an admin the main page needs to be redirected as well. Thanks. !! Justa Punk !! 09:18, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I was unable to create Impact Pro Wrestling NZ as a redirect to Impact Pro Wrestling, because it is protected so that only an admin can create it. I'm not an admin, but the main page would never be redirected, as that would cause major confusion for readers. You can check to see if someone is an admin by searching for their name in Special:ListAdmins. 95j (talk • contribs) 17:43, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
I though you were an admin. Sorry. It's been fixed anyway. !! Justa Punk !! 23:36, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
