Admins

Heya. Wikipedia:Administrators should answer most of your questions. An admin is actually just a normal editor that can do more stuff, like blocking users or deleting articles. This does not mean that an admin has anything to say over the content of an article, so you can't be an admin over a certain category, no. If you are an admin, you can use the additional features everywhere. There was some discussion about the possibilty to request just certain features, like page protection or article deletion, but currently you can only apply for the whole package of responsibility and work. --Conti|✉ 23:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism?

How am I vandalising pages? I'm creating new pages to put into a category called Contributors to Economic Methodology. ~ACUMENSCH

Sorry if saying "Vandalism" sounded rude, but the articles you were creating did not have much sense to them. Instead of just creating blank pages to place them in a category, you should add some good useful content to the pages before creating them, and then you should mark them as a stub so other users will take note of the articles (and contribute to them in anyway they can). If you have any other questions or comments, feel free to post them here. Alan ^{Talk - Contributions} 21:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

How do I mark pages as stubs? Is there something wrong with creating pages and then elaborating on them later? Next time i will make them in word, and them paste them.

Go Here. Those are the different stub categories. clicking on one of them should tell you how to mark a page as a stub in that category. ;)

Thanks for the sockpuppet help

I appreciate it! SkerHawx 22:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, a quick question if you have a sec -- the instructions seemed pretty straightforward, except that the user already had a sockpuppet - that's where I got confused ... the "manually change to Sockpuppet (2nd)..." What should I have done? Thanks again for the help! SkerHawx 22:21, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Well he might've not had a sockpuppet case filed against him before. Lucky 6.9 probably just discovered it and investigated it himself. Also, say if there was a prior case against him, all you would have to do is change the link to the Sockpuppt Case to "Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Hanna_Films (2nd)", and then edit from there. I hope this solves your problem. Alan^{Talk - Contributions} 22:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

It does. Thanks again & have a good weekend. Cheers. SkerHawx 22:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

subst:

Hi! I came across a few warning templates you left for editors that weren't substituted. Probably just an oversight, but if not, explore that link:-)--all user warning templates should be. By the way, I left some comments on {{longterm4im}} a few days ago at Wikipedia talk:Template messages/User talk namespace; wasn't sure if you noticed.--Fuhghettaboutit 00:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh yea, I always make that mistake >.<. Also, I saw your comment you left, I just never replied since I read it at like 12:00 at night =P. Iced Kola^{T - C} 02:42, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

RAW redirect

Hi, I noticed that you edited RAW to redirect to WWE Raw. Right before you made this edit, though, I changed the redirect to point to the disambiguation page Raw because RAW can refer to multiple things, not just WWE Raw. Just curious: what was the point of your edit? Were you running an automated bot or something? —MinorEdits 13:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

No. "RAW" is the trademark for WWE Raw, so I redirected it to point to "WWE Raw". Your edit makes more sense though =P. --Iced Kola^{T - C} 20:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Your user page

Did you want the history deleted (barring the one redirect)? Glen 18:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

No, I just decided to mix in my user page with my user talk. --I c e d K o l a ^{(Contributions)} 18:27, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Notifications

Thanks for your help in keeping the vandals at bay. Please would you also consider placing warnings on the user talk pages. The administrators patrolling WP:AIV will check to see if a user has been warned sufficiently before an account or IP will be blocked. By adding a notification you assist in blocking the vandals sooner.

Thanks

LittleOldMe 19:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I do place the user warning templates on their talk pages (and report them if they vandalize after a level 4). Heck, I even created two. Sometimes however, my internet will mess up or I'm just really tired so I forget =p. --I c e d K o l a ^{(Contributions)} 19:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Vandal Control

I'm sorry to say that the WVC has been cancelled by two administrators (names withheld). Please join the CVU instead. Thank you for your limited support! - StonedChipmunk 02:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I've already been apart of the CVU for a while, just look at my contributions =p. I c e d K o l a ^{(Contributions)} 03:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

No, the WVC has been submitted for community appraisal on whether it should remain or be deleted, at WP:MfD. Consensus is runnin strongly against it as a duplicate effort of CVU. StonedChipmunk, as creator, posted his position as delete which renderes the MfD automatically a speedy, and an administrator is now in the process of speedy deleting the pages in question. There is a huge difference between an editor submitting pages to MfD and something being "cancelled by two administrators". Please attempt to understand the workings of Wikipedia before commenting on them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. KillerChihuahua^?!? 12:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

• No no no... I placed the delete message because two admins told me it was a bad idea... technically, yes I canceled it, but two admins told me to do so. (The pages have already been deleted.) - StonedChipmunk 14:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Collapsable userpage info

I was wondering if I could use your collapsible userpage bars (userboxes, awards, etc.) in my userpage. (I'm being overly cautious about this, I know...) - StonedChipmunk 02:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Please see the people you are siding with before you make any comments.

Immoral Nazi ideology should always be reported. If you do not get that , I am sorry for Wiki. I am even thinking of reportiong people like you, who pose as administrators and defend people who are contaminating Wiki with clear Nazi propaganda. To be honest, I worry very much about the possible contents of Wiki when I see what I see. Most users who have been following Thulean, me, Sugaar, Globe, Psichohistorian, etc, agree about his more than obvious Nazi Nordicist agenda and he is using this palce to spread it. What are we supposed to do? Not denounce it? Be quiet? And now you vandalize the discussion page and give warnings to others? There are people who are decent. When I see the most satanic of ideologies be treated as if it was just another opinion or viewpoint I get sick. Veritas et Severitas 03:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Before you make accusations that violate WP:CIVIL, please explain yourself more. When did I "defend people who are contaminating Wiki with clear Nazi propaganda"? --I c e d K o l a ^{(Contributions)} 03:52, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I also wanted to add that Ibarreche was blocked indefintly by Pgk. I c e d K o l a ^{(Contributions)} 05:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Follow users like Thulean, whose only aim is to define white according to Nazi Nordicism and to define blacks as a different species. This is all very serious. I am getting tired of all this. On top of that this guy, Thulean is making use of Wiki rules to his advantage. It is outrageous. Veritas et Severitas 14:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Once again, when did I "defend people who are contaminating Wiki with clear Nazi propaganda"? I never followed Thulean, I never even heard of him until you brought this up. --I c e d K o l a ^{(Contributions)} 16:42, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Efax

Hi. You added a lowercase tag to this article. I don't agree that the correct title is eFax. In generic use, one would say "I got an e-fax today" or "I got an efax today", along the same lines as "e-mail" or "email". And the program referred to is called "efax". Only the fax service mentioned is called "eFax". Accordingly, I'll take the liberty of removing the tag. Rwxrwxrwx 12:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, the tag just needed to be fixed, not removed. It's been restored. Rwxrwxrwx 13:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

CRKD

for the CRKD, what has to be done to make it good for wikipedia?

Raysaagar

It must be in the neutral point of view, their must be an insertion of notability (meaning it must be notable, and references should be cited), and it must not read like an advertisement. Have a nice day. Iced Kola^(Mmm...) 21:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Naked brothers Band

Hello, Iced Kola I am new here and I watch the naked brothers band, and recently I tried to find a page on the wikipedia with the naked brothers band. Frotunately, I did find it but the page is totally messed up. there is nothing on the page at all. well, since you are a more expierenced wikipedian than I am I would like you to fix it. My name is IBM Thinkpad and I'm just wanting to say that the naked brothers band page needs some work. Thanks for your cooperation, your time and your money#

- IBM 22:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

1. I am only kidding

It was recently vandalized by many different IP's, so I reverted that. As for adding to it, both pages seem to be alright right now, and I don't know much about the Naked Brothers Band. Sorry, have a nice day. Iced Kola^(Mmm...) 22:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but the original person who christened the Lusitania was Lady, Wieble Able Smith. But this wasn't a sucessful one, so it was redone by Mary, Lady Inverclyd. I'm sorry for the langauge.

Dead links project

Hi ... Thanks for the message on my talk page about the DL project. Since I don't know how to add a reply to a topic, I'm posting a reply here. I hope that's OK.

You say "{{Dl-s}}, unlike other dead link templates, goes after the dead link, not in place of it". I'm not clear under what circumstance I'm supposed to use each of the templates. Some of the links I'm fixing are embedded in paragraph, either as footnotes or just a link directly from the text in the paragraph. Many others are at the bottom of the article under external links. Can you give me some guidance?

Hi again, Iced Kola. I think there's something amiss with the dlw template.

Here's an example from the Khonnor article:

• Andres Lokko on making the Khonnor This is our music documentary. MTV This Is Our Music at the Wayback Machine (archive index)

I don't know where the {{{2}}} is coming from. I think that's where the "MTV This Is Our Music" text should appear. Instead it appears between "Internet Archive" & "link" and the "MTV" disappears completely.

Otoh, it worked for me as expected in the Jens Lekman article:

• Schreiber, Ryan, "Jens Lekman Scraps Second Album, Goes on Hiatus", Pitchfork Media, 12/16/2005. Pitchfork Media article at the Wayback Machine (archive index)

Also, the template generates a couple of blank lines at the end. Is this intentional?

Sanfranman59 00:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

{{{2}}} is where the caption goes. For example, if you're linking to a news site, and the name of the article you're linking to is "Wikipedia rocks", than you would put "Wikipedia rocks" in {{{2}}}. Template:Dlw should tell you all about how to use the template. Iced Kola^(Mmm...) 01:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I think I'm using the template properly since I was able to get it to work as expected in the Jens Lekman article (see above). For some reason, when I used it with the mtve.com link in the Khonnor article, it didn't come out right. Would you mind taking a look at how I use them above to see if you can see what's going wrong? Should I be directing these questions to someone else? Are you the author of the template?

Thanks again for your assistance. Sanfranman59 07:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind ... I just realized that I should have looked at the Template:Dlw Talk page. There's a note in there that if there are = in the URL, they have to be replaced with %3D. Hmmm. Sorry to clutter up your page. I'm trying to learn the ropes around here. Some of it is a bit esoteric. Sanfranman59 07:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Greetings! A recent change has been made in the clerking system at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser.

• Consider adding yourself to the list of active clerks at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks.
• In helping, please make sure you follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Procedures as it is very important to the process there to follow these instructions for smooth operation.

• Add Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks/Noticeboard to your watchlist to stay up to do date on the latest communications happening regarding this role.
• "Be aware that this position is rather dull and carries no particular prestige; status-seeking will not be looked upon kindly."

WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Iced Kola/Archive! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By Maxim There have been a lot more Good and Featured articles written in the past few weeks. Here is a list: Featured articles Wayne Gretzky — Promoted on 2006-02-14; on Main Page on 2006-06-13 New Jersey Devils — Promoted on 2006-11-20; on Main Page on 2007-06-30 Martin Brodeur — Promoted on 2007-04-28 Fighting in ice hockey — Promoted on 2007-05-07; on Main Page on 2007-07-19 Dominik Hasek — Promoted on 2007-05-25 Good articles Calgary Hitmen Colorado Avalanche National Hockey League Joe Sakic Nottingham Panthers Stanley Cup Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup Ray Emery The French Connection (hockey) Featured lists List of ice hockey teams in Alberta List of ice hockey teams in Saskatchewan Frölunda HC seasons List of Colorado Avalanche players List of family relations in the National Hockey League List of New Jersey Devils players List of New Jersey Devils head coaches List of drafted Frölunda HC players Notes Article Improvement By Maxim Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status. Diacritics By Maxim In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt. Task forces By Maxim There have been two new task forces started within the WikiProject to coordinate major topics. Sweden Ice Hockey task force This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES. New Jersey Devils task force This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock. Requested Images By Maxim After discussion on the WikiProject talk page, Serte created a page for Requested Images. The page encourages users to license images for use on articles. The page also has section to request images for players, arenas, game situations, miscellaneous, and team and league logos. The page has been quite popular; since it was created on July 21, there have been six completed requests. There are four currently outstanding requests: Patrik Eliáš — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn Scott Stevens — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn Daniel Alfredsson — Photo of player, requested by Maxim Hart Trophy — Photo of the original Hart Trophy (retired in 1960), requested by Scorpion0422 Article assessement completed By Maxim On July 12, Kaiser matias announced that he had completed assessing all the articles with a {{ice hockey}} tag, sorting them into Category:Unassessed Ice Hockey articles. Kaiser matias has ranked about 9000 articles in that category, and most were stubs, and "have no information at all", according to him. Everybody is encouraged to expand the stubs into real articles. This effort took around 5 months. A big thanks goes to Kaiser matias from me and all the project. Note: You have received this newsletter because you have added your name here.

Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter. Hart Memorial Trophy James Norris Memorial Trophy Vezina Trophy Conn Smythe Trophy Frank J. Selke Trophy Lady Byng Memorial Trophy Lester B. Pearson Award Calder Memorial Trophy Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy King Clancy Memorial Trophy Jack Adams Award Presidents' Trophy List of Calgary Flames players There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC. Did You Know?

Featured Topic Drive By Maxim Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles: Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) Vezina Trophy (Scorpion) Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte) Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov) Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) Lester B. Pearson Award (Scorpion) Calder Memorial Trophy (Croat Canuck) Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (Maxim) King Clancy Memorial Trophy (Maxim) Jack Adams Award (Maxim) Presidents' Trophy (Scorpion) Stanley Cup (Earlier collaboration, very many involved) Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup (Maxim) Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion.

This is a horse race among many horse races of interest to those who follow the world and history of Thoroughbred horse racing. Is there something different about this race which merits speedy deletion? If there is a criterion for a race that can be included and a race that can't, I ask with all due respect that you help me understand what that is. The race has been on wikepedia for quite some time. Today I added a tag on its discussion page that I ought to have added a long time ago. And suddenly it is to be speedily deleted? As you are an editor and I am not, please, help me understand this. JiggeryPokery (talk) 00:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC) I don't understand. I did not create a new article. The race article has existed for some time. All I did today was go into the existing article's discussion page and add a thoroughbred tag to indicate it was part of the Thoroughbred horse topic on wikipedia, and a California tag to indicate it's a part of what interests Californians. The information on the race page is as much as can be found on many race pages. I spend quite a bit of time time trying to find the winners and winning jockies on some race pages, but when I do, I add them. Or if I find some bit of history pertinant to the race, for example: an very famous racehorse made his or her first start in this race. Other than that, the article is there and added to as things come in. It is not a new article and was never before considered for speedy deletion. I think there is some confusion here about the actual article and its discussion page which has the only two tags I added today.JiggeryPokery (talk) 01:40, 27 December 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for December 26th, 2007.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page.

You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY; this newsletter will be sent every two weeks/months. If you wish to not receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the newsletter mailing list. Thanks! New recognized content By The Pancake of Heaven! There has been numerous new recognized content, so much that it's too time-consuming to sift through the "trophy cases" on WP:HOCKEY. Some interesting achievements: 2016 NHL Draft has been newly created and has immediately become a GA status article. The Vancouver Canucks task force has become active again, thanks to Canuckian89! J.D. Watt has been declined at WP:AFD. Drafts related to the OHL have been published! Task forces By The Pancake of Heaven! We are working to create a new task force within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It hasn't been created yet; but it aims to expand articles based on former and current Pittsburgh Penguins players and articles. Good luck! New Administrators Currently 0 promoted admins! Be the first one at WP:RFA. Featured Topic Drive By Maxim The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY. Notes More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. The newsletter creator doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news. Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status. Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!

You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC) Rollback I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Thanks! Hey, just wanted to thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page! First time I've ever been vandalised, certainly not going to be the last. It was like my third edit on huggle, though, so I'm a tad worried about this becoming more commonplace!! Cookies!
