Crown Fountain controversy section

[edit]

Please comment on the debate towards the bottom on this issue. Third party opinions are needed.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been reading it as it goes. I'll comment now. Calor (talk) 02:22, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you cap or strike your concerns so I can see what you still want addressed.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:42, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. Calor (talk) 03:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Calor (talk) 03:42, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
O.K. So I have resolved your issues. Do I have your support yet?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Probably. I'm waiting for some of the other issues listed to play out, but I'll add my support soon. Good luck with the FAC. Calor (talk) 15:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
O.K. so we have two issues that need third-party opinions. Chime in on the description of Kamin and the WP:RS issue if you have a chance.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 23:21, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure what issues to address to get support. Feel free to comment.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:36, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not entirely sure either, to be honest. I suggest that you and the co-nominator go through all the sections and see what's left unresolved, and try to get those issues back on the table and neatly resolve them, because things currently aren't looking too good for Crown Fountain's FAC. Calor (talk) 01:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What is your opinion of the current form of the article.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:00, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't really been following the FAC a lot over the past few days. Skimming it over, though, I find that Ruhrfich and Johnbod share the same genral sentiments about the article as I do. Perhaps I'll look at it more thoroughly again soon. Calor (talk) 03:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Johnbod supported and Ruhrfisch just did a copyedit and removed his prose comments.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Huggle

[edit]

Oh, I'm sorry if I'm spoiling your fun! If you'd like, I'll take a break from Huggle so you can get in on the action :) CL — 02:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see, in that case, thank you! But why don't you consider getting Huggle? I was one of those manual reverters but then discovered the amazingness of the Huggle program. It's so much faster and automatically reports vandals on AIV, for one. But I do see the merits and satisfaction in manually reverting stuff too :) CL — 03:05, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I didn't know you had rollback rights... but you can apply for it (though I'm not sure where). I got my rollback rights without application, but I know you can apply - CL — 03:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the requirements are 500 edits and a good history of not vandalizing anything. I got rollback rights back when I didn't vandal-fight at all - CL — 03:14, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback/Huggle

[edit]

Hi Calor,

I saw your comment about rollback and thought you might be interested in applying for it at requests for permissions. I don't think there are any requirements other than a history of fighting vandalism and of course, that you agree to use it responsibly. I'm not an admin, but I do have rollback and have found it quite useful, especially with Huggle. It seems like these tools might come in handy fighting vandalism. In any case, good luck and let me know if I can do anything for you! --Wikieditor06 (talk) 15:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monologues never fail to get the best of the speaker. I've read about the rollback feature, and understand that it's used only to revert blatant vandalism, not misguided good faith edits. I do intend to apply at sometime in the next days or weeks, but want to do a bit more manual reverting and warning to get a better feel for various warning templates, etc. Thanks for bringing it up and the info, though! Calor (talk) 15:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem... and sorry I didn't see your past discussion with CL until after I posted... I guess this was a little redundant. Anyway, all the best. --Wikieditor06 (talk) 15:51, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, not like I was really doing anything when you posted. And seeing talk pages with content besides templates is a bit of a relief. Calor (talk) 15:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Norkom

[edit]

Hi, saw your intervention on the Norkom article against the POV-pushing by User:Autonomicpilot. Thank you! Just wanted you to know that he has accused us of being the same person, i.e. sock puppets. Don't think anything will come of it, but just so you know. Steve CarlsonTalk 16:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks, I never would've seen that. I'll take a look. Calor (talk) 19:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Thank you for looking at the Samuel Johnson page and fixing some items. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problem. Calor (talk) 15:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done

[edit]
Updated DYK query On 25 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Steve Grilli, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Bush

[edit]

Bah, I wanted to be the one to remove the picture. It would have been my very first anti-vandalism... thing. Ah well, no sense in complaining. I commend your speedy reaction.


--BaKa-NEKO (talk) 22:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, sorry for ruining your fun. I'm using Huggle, an anti-vandalism tool that makes finding vandalism and reverting amazingly simple and fast, so I have a bit of an unfair advantage. Just keep looking, you'll find something vandalicious (is that a word?) soon enough :) Calor (talk) 22:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmph, sounds... confusing. And apparently I’d need to be granted Rollback in order to use this. I’d better let it be, maybe get a few more months under my belt here before applying for anything like that. I suppose I’m off to fix more grammar, then! *strikes heroic pose*
Vandalicious? It’s like the word “vandal” and then the word “delicious!” Is that like an oxymoron?


--BaKa-NEKO (talk) 23:15, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I dunno, maybe it is. Depends on what you like, anyways. I'd like to point out I've only been actively contributing on Wikipedia every day for a bit over a month, and I only applied for rollback last night and got it early today. So you may not have to wait "a few months". Just make smart edits, watch RC, revert some, contribute here, there, everywhere, don't get in trouble, and you'll be a perfect candidate for rollbacker before you know it. Calor (talk) 23:22, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I use Twinkle. I likes the name. --Plingggggg \ talk 01:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm mildly amused. Is that because it sounds like Pling, to an extent? Calor (talk) 03:08, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
..it does? But no, it's just because that's one of the gadgets in preferences. Although you wouldn't need it, O Mighty Wikipedian Rollbacker. --Plingggggg \ talk 01:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I actually use it. And "twinkle" and "pling" have that... ing-ish sound to them. Calor (talk) 01:40, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ehh, it does? Regardless, we're both pretty and shine a lot. --Plingggggg \ talk 15:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revert Edits to O2 plc

[edit]

Why did you reverse this amendment to the article?

Because I highly doubt the company has "ripped off" 35.9 million people. The sentence in the version I reverted to reads "By 31 March 2007 the company had 35.9 million mobile customers in the UK, Germany, Ireland and Czech Republic...". 35.9 million customers sounds right for those countries. I doubt 35.9 million people in four countries have filed complaints for being ripped off. If my logic is flawed and I'm incorrect, then find a reliable source to back up your claim, and re-add your text to the article, citing that source. Calor (talk) 01:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ron Schueler

Updated DYK query On 29 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ron Schueler, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Please be Careful

[edit]

Whosoever put profanity in Hurricane Gustav has just not any interest whatsoever in editing Wikipedia right-that could be vandalism. Putting profanity is one vandalism method, but how should I avoid vandalism that is of no intent or without really knowing?

Atkinson 04:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

It's really complicated to get sources who fit Wikipedia rules and create proper edits without people popping out unexpectedly telling you to "Please do not" these or those, something means vandalism but the editing people did not edit for intention for vandalism-new editors are especially prone.

Atkinson 05:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I definitely understand it's tough to get on your feet here, but if you're careful in what you do and are familiar with important policies, then you'll be fine. There are certain measures in place to try and make sure people are especially polite, cordial, and helpful to newcomers. Calor (talk) 05:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Southrepps

[edit]

Hi, do take care when reverting edits as you reverted a good edit see Template:Infobox UK place. Regards --palmiped |  Talk  00:13, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I figured it was a sort of joke vandalism, as a perfectly fine link was replaced with all caps, non-linked. Should have taken a look at the template and page first. Oh well, will be a bit more careful reverting (automated or not). Calor (talk) 01:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Wikipedia

[edit]

Hey, I noticed your comment on Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Persistent proposals#Proposal: Move the main page to Portal:Wikipedia and replied to it, but I don't know if you saw the message. Essentially, my point was that "Portal:Wikipedia" would not appear anywhere on the page, just as "Main Page" does not appear on the main page right now. The main page would continue to be called the main page or perhaps simply the front page, even though it would technically be located at Portal:Wikipedia. —Remember the dot (talk) 01:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, no, I didn't see the reply; I totally forgot about the discussion. I'll go back and take a look at it all. Calor (talk) 02:28, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

[edit]

Hi Calor,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
