OOU

Do you think you can try to remove the OOU stuff from Judgment Day (2005)? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:46, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I mean like remove the OOU stuff. If you know what I mean. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:23, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it is. I'm asking you if you can make the article readable like SummerSlam (2003), you know not lacking the jargon stuff. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:40, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that, I was a bit confused myself. :P You'll do a good job, I know that, or else I wouldn't be asking, now would I. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, me and SRX have made some changes, but I think the article still has some stuff that needs to be cleared up. Hopefully, you can spot those and fix them. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding welcome messages. Just an FYI; you should really wait until they've actually made some contributions. It can be quite offensive if the message is obviously automated and someone gets "Hello, Phenomx13! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions to this free encyclopedia." before they've even hit the "edit" button. Ironholds (talk) 04:21, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Procurement has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Ben Ward (talk) 20:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

As per the below message, warning was an error caused by Huggle. Genius101Guestbook 00:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Whoops

Hi, sorry about that. I know it shouldn't be an excuse, but Huggle fail =( Ben Ward (talk) 20:51, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Seriously thanks for that heads-up. If anyone vandalizes my guestbook again feel free to delete the vandal. (I'm not on often) RkOrToN 03:17, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar

New Page Patrolling

Hi there! I've been going through the New Pages log, particularly the back end of it. I've come across an article (Sacrifice (band)) that you've added a tag to that hasn't been patrolled. I was wondering if you could make sure that you mark an article as patrolled before you tag it as then it won't show up on the list, which will save people patrolling an article that has already been looked at by an experienced editor like yourself.

Please accept my apologies if you are doing this and the software is lagging behind, or if you're just tagging articles that you're coming across from a different source that doesn't allow you to patrol them. Thanks in advance! --Ged UK (talk) 08:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC) --Ged UK (talk) 21:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I was just wondering how I would mark an article as patrolled. I'm using Twinkle right now. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 21:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi there! new Page patrolling is a task that a few of us undertake, where we check that new pages meet the general WP criteria. The list of 'new pages' (going back a month!) can be found at special:newpages. When you click on a yellow article on the list, it means that no-one else has patrolled it yet, and at the bottom of the article, you'll see a link that says 'Mark page as patrolled' and the link will turn white on the new page list. That means that then nobody else needs to look at it because it's been done. Hope that makes sense! Cheers! --Ged UK (talk) 21:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Is there any way that I could do that via the Special:RecentChanges page, or with Twinkle? Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 21:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Not that I'm aware of, no. Sorry! It might be worth suggesting/discussing somewhere, maybe the recent changes patrol talk page, or the twinkle talk page? --Ged UK (talk) 22:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh well, thanks anyway! Genius101Guestbook 22:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


Deletion request for Sajasan

You placed a deletion request on the article Sajasan (Jeollanam-do). I was wondering how you determined that it was unremarkable. There are many mountains in Korea that are well-known and well-documented in the Korean sources but not known at all in North America. Waygugin (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

  • No worries at all. It happens to be that almost all of Korea's mountains are notable in some way or another due to their relevance in the local culture. A disproportionate number of smaller mountains, that might be insignificant in other countries, often have long histories in Korea. Cheers!Waygugin (talk) 00:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page

I have been editing Wikipedia since 2003 so I know what I am doing, thanks. I was just removing pseudoscientific rubbish. Don't worry about it. Peter Damian (talk) 22:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Stop reverting my edits. Your qualifications in linguistics are what, actually? Peter Damian (talk) 22:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Now if you would bother to actually look at the timestamps on signatures (they aren't just there for decoration you know), you would see that last reverted one of your edits before your last message. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 22:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Fine. I get a bit upset when someone calls my edits 'vandalism', you know. Peter Damian (talk) 23:07, 20 December 2008 (UTC)(

(outdent) It's all right: I saw a large removal of an entire section, and didn't assume good faith. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 23:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

OK good night. Have a good Christmas break. Peter Damian (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

You said on your userpage that you use IRC, if you can now, go on IRC and go to the channel #wikipedia-en where I am also right now. I'll see when you pop up there, but let me know when you get on. I'd like to ask you a question. ayematthew 02:01, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Is there any way that I could do that via the Special:RecentChanges page, or with Twinkle? Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 21:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Not that I'm aware of, no. Sorry! It might be worth suggesting/discussing somewhere, maybe the recent changes patrol talk page, or the twinkle talk page? --Ged UK (talk) 22:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh well, thanks anyway! Genius101Guestbook 22:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


Deletion request for Sajasan

You placed a deletion request on the article Sajasan (Jeollanam-do). I was wondering how you determined that it was unremarkable. There are many mountains in Korea that are well-known and well-documented in the Korean sources but not known at all in North America. Waygugin (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

  • No worries at all. It happens to be that almost all of Korea's mountains are notable in some way or another due to their relevance in the local culture. A disproportionate number of smaller mountains, that might be insignificant in other countries, often have long histories in Korea. Cheers!Waygugin (talk) 00:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page

I have been editing Wikipedia since 2003 so I know what I am doing, thanks. I was just removing pseudoscientific rubbish. Don't worry about it. Peter Damian (talk) 22:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Stop reverting my edits. Your qualifications in linguistics are what, actually? Peter Damian (talk) 22:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Now if you would bother to actually look at the timestamps on signatures (they aren't just there for decoration you know), you would see that last reverted one of your edits before your last message. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 22:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Fine. I get a bit upset when someone calls my edits 'vandalism', you know. Peter Damian (talk) 23:07, 20 December 2008 (UTC)(

(outdent) It's all right: I saw a large removal of an entire section, and didn't assume good faith. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 23:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Procurement has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

New Page Patrolling

Hi there! I've been going through the New Pages log, particularly the back end of it. I've come across an article (Sacrifice (band)) that you've added a tag to that hasn't been patrolled. I was wondering if you could make sure that you mark an article as patrolled before you tag it as then it won't show up on the list, which will save people patrolling an article that has already been looked at by an experienced editor like yourself.

Please accept my apologies if you are doing this and the software is lagging behind, or if you're just tagging articles that you're coming across from a different source that doesn't allow you to patrol them. Thanks in advance! --Ged UK (talk) 08:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC) --Ged UK (talk) 21:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I was just wondering how I would mark an article as patrolled. I'm using Twinkle right now. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 21:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi there! new Page patrolling is a task that a few of us undertake, where we check that new pages meet the general WP criteria. The list of 'new pages' (going back a month!) can be found at special:newpages. When you click on a yellow article on the list, it means that no-one else has patrolled it yet, and at the bottom of the article, you'll see a link that says 'Mark page as patrolled' and the link will turn white on the new page list. That means that then nobody else needs to look at it because it's been done. Hope that makes sense! Cheers! --Ged UK (talk) 21:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Procurement has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

As per the below message, warning was an error caused by Huggle. Genius101Guestbook 00:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Whoops

Hi, sorry about that. I know it shouldn't be an excuse, but Huggle fail =( Ben Ward (talk) 20:51, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Seriously thanks for that heads-up. If anyone vandalizes my guestbook again feel free to delete the vandal. (I'm not on often) RkOrToN 03:17, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

For notifying me of Vandal on my Guestbook page. Thanks RkOrToN 03:17, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I already noticed that he was reported to AIV before getting your message. Thanks, Willking1979 (talk) 14:08, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

New Page Patrolling

Hi there! I've been going through the New Pages log, particularly the back end of it. I've come across an article (Sacrifice (band)) that you've added a tag to that hasn't been patrolled. I was wondering if you could make sure that you mark an article as patrolled before you tag it as then it won't show up on the list, which will save people patrolling an article that has already been looked at by an experienced editor like yourself.

Please accept my apologies if you are doing this and the software is lagging behind, or if you're just tagging articles that you're coming across from a different source that doesn't allow you to patrol them. Thanks in advance! --Ged UK (talk) 08:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC) --Ged UK (talk) 21:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I was just wondering how I would mark an article as patrolled. I'm using Twinkle right now. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 21:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi there! new Page patrolling is a task that a few of us undertake, where we check that new pages meet the general WP criteria. The list of 'new pages' (going back a month!) can be found at special:newpages. When you click on a yellow article on the list, it means that no-one else has patrolled it yet, and at the bottom of the article, you'll see a link that says 'Mark page as patrolled' and the link will turn white on the new page list. That means that then nobody else needs to look at it because it's been done. Hope that makes sense! Cheers! --Ged UK (talk) 21:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Is there any way that I could do that via the Special:RecentChanges page, or with Twinkle? Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 21:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Not that I'm aware of, no. Sorry! It might be worth suggesting/discussing somewhere, maybe the recent changes patrol talk page, or the twinkle talk page? --Ged UK (talk) 22:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh well, thanks anyway! Genius101Guestbook 22:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


Deletion request for Sajasan

You placed a deletion request on the article Sajasan (Jeollanam-do). I was wondering how you determined that it was unremarkable. There are many mountains in Korea that are well-known and well-documented in the Korean sources but not known at all in North America. Waygugin (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

  • No worries at all. It happens to be that almost all of Korea's mountains are notable in some way or another due to their relevance in the local culture. A disproportionate number of smaller mountains, that might be insignificant in other countries, often have long histories in Korea. Cheers!Waygugin (talk) 00:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page

I have been editing Wikipedia since 2003 so I know what I am doing, thanks. I was just removing pseudoscientific rubbish. Don't worry about it. Peter Damian (talk) 22:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Stop reverting my edits. Your qualifications in linguistics are what, actually? Peter Damian (talk) 22:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Now if you would bother to actually look at the timestamps on signatures (they aren't just there for decoration you know), you would see that last reverted one of your edits before your last message. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 22:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Fine. I get a bit upset when someone calls my edits 'vandalism', you know. Peter Damian (talk) 23:07, 20 December 2008 (UTC)(

(outdent) It's all right: I saw a large removal of an entire section, and didn't assume good faith. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 23:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

OK good night. Have a good Christmas break. Peter Damian (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
You too! Genius101Guestbook 23:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

IRC

You said on your userpage that you use IRC, if you can now, go on IRC and go to the channel #wikipedia-en where I am also right now. I'll see when you pop up there, but let me know when you get on. I'd like to ask you a question. ayematthew 02:01, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
