Ronnie Barker

It is Ronnie Barker not Ronnie Corbett who is dead, SqueakBox 16:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Tnx for deleting my changes of that article. You beat me to it by a few seconds when I realised I edited the wrong person. :) Garion96 16:59, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Eh, it didn't seem like a typo as much as an honest mistake of the person's name. In general for even slightly common misconceptions it's good to have a redirect. If you really think no one except the one user is likely to make such a mistake I can delete it, but I personally have no idea, so I figured a redirect was safer. Redirects are cheap. -R. fiend 15:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

"nick clarke"

Well, I just thought that redirects are cheap and it would be a good thing to relieve the speedy deleting admins. Punkmorten 07:31, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

You're right of course. I can't believe I forgot Sam. Thanks for fixing it. Garion96 18:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about that. My computer just does that sometimes (I usually check). Thanks for catching my mistake. —Morning star 19:54, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

is is

thx for fixing one of my double "is" and making me aware of WP:FCM with edit comment. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 02:30, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Garion: as you know, I too have been fixing duplicated words and, if I am not working on an actual article, I frequently search for common misspellings (WP:LCM) - "Govener" threw up hundreds and hundreds of instances! I just thought I should share this experience with you: I have come to rely on a Google search string as follows:

 "searchtext" site:en.wikipedia.org -"Talk:" -"User:" -"Redirected"

Of course, Google is never up-to-date, but then neither is WP's own search. Google has the further advantage of offering a bit on context in its listings. I am guessing that it would be best to wait at least three months before repeating a search - and six months might be more effective. Keep up the good work!

When reverting (and putting "rv" in the edit summary), please make sure you revert fully if the vandal has made multiple edits. Otherwise, other users will see the "rv" in the edit summary and wrongly assume that the vandalism was fully reverted. -- Curps 02:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Signing AFD votes

Hi, you voted on AFD but didn't sign your comment so it won't be counted, do you think you could do that? Thanks. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 00:44, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Garion, Thank you very much for your welcoming message, and for the kind words on Begijnhof, Amsterdam. So you speak (or at least, read) Dutch? -- I have a problem with that article, though. I tried to add a caption to the Houten Huys picture, but did not succeed. Could you help? Bessel Dekker 11:31, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Bedankt voor je hulp. Wat het onderschrift betreft, dat had ik allemaal gedaan, but to no avail. Ik heb nog eens naar jouw bewerking gekeken, en denk dat de fout hem zat in de tweemalige px-specificatie, die jij hebt weggehaald, zo te zien. Groet, Bessel Dekker 12:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

"Gable stones" (in that sense) was new to me. Great! Bessel Dekker 03:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

I am absolutely sure that you were not stalking, and anyway, these are the small hours, when any company is welcome! Seriously though, thanks for the link fixing at Begijnhof. I shall also try to get accustomed to avoiding the use of capitals in subheadings. As a first step (following your example) I have now moved that one pigheaded, if deceased, beguine from the "Gutter" to the "gutter". Bessel Dekker 03:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC) (In fact, to my mind Kern is much more interesting than those worthy ladies. Bessel Dekker 03:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC))

Adolfo Carrión Jr.

Thanks for reverting the copyvio. I've reverted that page myself several times, and eventually just gave up in disgust. Keep an eye on it, it'll probably come back. --RoySmith 14:12, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikifying dates

Hi, Garion. Thanks for your edits to George Washington Dixon. I've reverted once again, simply because there is no real reason to wikify every date in an article. Ideally, links should be provided only for things that will deepen the reader's understanding of the article at hand; date links rarely do this. Now, it's possible 1821 in music might be valid in an article like this when a simple 1821 link would not; if you wish, we can link to these "in music" articles or "in literature" articles, etc., depending on context. But if we link every date regardless of context, it's likely one of the first things that will have to be undone when I submit this article for Featured Article Candidates (I plan to do so after the New Year). Thanks again, and happy holidays! -- BrianSmithson 22:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you reverted wikifying the dates in the George Washington Dixon article. It is very handy to have it linked though. This way readers see the dates according to their preferences. Americans see May 14 and Europeans see 14 may. See [1] Garion96 (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

What you say I agree with, however you didn't mentioned anything on what I said here before. I won't revert the article again, but I don't agree. I think it's handy to have the dates linked so that it shows december 14 or 14 december depending on the reader. NOT for the link itself. That indeed is pointless. See also the article on Rosa Parks. A featured article, where also all the dates are linked. Even in the notes. Garion96 (talk) 23:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm. I had no idea the software formatted dates according to user preferences. I've seen Featured Article reviewers request delinking at FAC before, so I've gotten in the habit of not linking dates unless they are relevant to the context. I'll leave it alone for now, I guess, and see what people say when I nominate the article. Until then, feel free to make any edits/leave any feedback you have on the article! Thanks, -- BrianSmithson 23:17, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcome reply

Thank you. Though my contributions are minor, our collective efforts will surely result in a masterpiece. -MPD 10:38, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Cats

Just noticed you cleaning up my catneeded entries, trust my method is not making more work for you? I was simply going into random page and finding them - as well as some what looked like Afd candidates. Please let me know if I am causing any problems by not allocating cats, but I am assuming the double check method might encourage other editors to see the articles and possibly do things to the arts that I might not see ? Best wishes. vcxlor 14:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Follow up - thanks for doing that to the Karmel K - it had me stumped! Thanks again. SatuSuro 14:44, 3 January 2006 (UTC) aka vcxlor

Nah, I had a lousy 05, and having lived in Java, and knowing the complexity of names (my fieldwork site had a graveyard where any one person could have had 5 names in their life time (sigh), I thought for 06 i'd call myself by the javanese name of the first day of their new year, and keep my original pseudo as well. goes with the headspace that I'm in thanks for the suggestion anyways, and also thanks once again for cleaning up my problem catneeded items. Much appreciated. Best Wishes SatuSuro 15:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Ramsay's kids

I thought he only had 4 kids; they were regularly featured on The F-Word. Does he have an older kid, cuz her wife didn't look like she was expecting another one anytime soon. --Madchester 19:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Garion96. Thank you for supporting my Rfa! :) I will try my best to be a good administrator. Please ask me if you need any help. --a.n.o.n.y.m t 17:43, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcome reply

Hi, thanks for the welcome and also for your correction and improvement to what I did on Begijnhof, Amsterdam. Am currently trying to figure out the difference between "official" procedure and actual procedure with regard to the translations (like when to move a request down to the "recently completed translations"). Hopefully no one will eat me in the process. :-) Kimberley Verburg 17:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Check something for me please!!

Hi garion, thanks for your welcome message on my talk page. having just joined wikipedia, i've been doing some wikifying and categorizing and stuff. how do i know when a page is wikified enough? I just wikified Filter driver, although i don't know anything about them. is this enough? let me know what you think...

Thanks

Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 23:45, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Ben Lewis

Thanks so much for the welcome, darling! I've already checked out a few of those pages (Help and Tutorial), but I'll be sure to look at the others before I do much else around here. If you could spare the time, could you look at my first article? I'm pretty sure I was doing everything right/by the rules, but it would be nice to have a little confirmation on that, I guess you could just message me back or something. It's Ben Lewis, and again, only if you have the time. The last thing I want to do is be a bother. Gina Mason 21:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hail Mary (translations) afd

Hi Garion96, and thanks for letting me know about the afd for Hail Mary (translations). I voted keep, but indicated that my intent is to keep it on a Wikimedia project. It doesn't have to be Wikipedia. I think multilingual content is encyclopedic and can be on the English WP, but it's possible that Wikisource might be a natural place for it. Again, thanks for the notification. Fg2 00:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Poster

"to illustrate the movie in question or to provide critical analysis of the poster content or artwork" the first one is enough to illustrate the movie. The extra uses are not providing crtical analysis of the content or artwork, so are not fair use. ed g2s • talk 18:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes they are, they show in one page how the poster design has changed based on each re-release. They do provide critical analysis, so I am going to have to continue this revert war as long as you continue to fight on behalf of incorrect copyright interpretations.--Nick Dillinger 12:05, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey...

I am one of the people who run the Darkonin, a kingdom in the online Mud Dark and Shattered Lands. Some people are trying to get it deleted due to lack of "notablility." I got your name off the World of Warcraft history, if you would post on the talk page about how it is sort of notable, as if that isn't notable, neither is anything about World of Warcraft, or many a fantastical novel.

Dead-end pages

Hi, and thanks for contributing... but tagging a page with the wikify tag does not cleanup the dead-end aspect of that article... feel free to go through, and add the wikify tag, but if you are not going to wikify it yourself, or at least cleanup the deadends (links throughout the article's text), please do not remove it's entry from the dead-end page... have fun, and happy editing... - Adolphus79 12:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just read your message. From what I read on Wikipedia:Dead-end pages one can put the {{wfy}} tag on articles that have been put up for AFD. To quote "For articles on AFD, you can tag them {{wikify}} (in addition to the AFD notice) and remove them from this list. That way, if they survive deletion, they will still be tagged for fix-up.".

The ones I put the wfy tag one were all articles I, or someone else, put the prod template on. Garion96 ^(talk) 13:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

ok, I'm sorry about that, they must have just recently added that line to the dead-end page... I stand corrected... - Adolphus79 13:28, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. It's indeed always better to be sure before those deadend articles dissappear again in the 1 million plus articles. :) Garion96 ^(talk) 14:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I apologise for moving Category:ITV sitcoms to Category:ITV television programmes.

I now see that there is no need to change anything in that area.

GarryMc 20:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hail Mary (translations)

It would have to go through the deletion process again to be deleted, but if I may make a recommendation... Prod the article, with the transwiki as the reason. If anyone removes the tag however, you will have to take it to AfD if you still want it deleted. Happy editing! Prodego ^talk 02:45, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
