National historic site

Thanks for the note. You may want to look at the discussion at Talk:National Historic Site (United States) -- it occurred to me there isn't much point fixing links immediately until the targets have been settled. But that should be resolved fairly soon, I would imagine.--Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:08, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely. I would have done them last night had it not been so late, but I'll be sure to get to them some time today. AP1787 (talk) 13:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Serous cystadenoma

Serous cystadenoma (disambiguation), I think, was generated automatically. AFAIK, the redirects are okay. I am not sure I understand what you're asking me to do. Please explain it. Nephron  T|C 01:59, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nephron, what I wanted was your help cleaning up links to the disambig page you'd created per WP:FIXDABLINKS, but looking at the current what links here list, those links have already been fixed. No worries! Cheers, --JaGa^talk 07:08, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Yadav

Starting to look into the Yadav disambiguation. Harsh ^{Mujhse baat kijiye(Talk)}(Contribs) 05:13, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Disambig toolserver for other wikipedias

Hi, is there any way to use your tool to my home wiki: id.wp? Thanks. (and kindly leave a message on my talk page when you reply) Bennylin (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

'Fraid not. The scripts are based on categories and templates specific to EN wiki; they can't be run against another wiki without 1) creating a similar infrastructure and 2) refactoring the scripts for that specific wiki. --JaGa^talk 12:29, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Journal

I'll be happy to help. Thanks for pointing out that useful popups tool to me, I've been using popups for a while now, but had this (and similar options) set to "false" (I'm not very adept at these monobook.js things... :-) I'll play around with it! --Crusio (talk) 09:52, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

My pleasure. Another thing - let's say you fix everything except a bunch of links that all need to be pointed to the same article (Academic journal, for instance). Let me know; I can do mass fixes easily and quickly, but only in the case of "every article left that links to Journal should be re-pointed to XXXX". Thanks for the note! --JaGa^talk 10:21, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah thanks, that was another user not me! Bhockey10 (talk) 17:01, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Changes to Brevard County, Florida

I have made a major change to an article that you may or may not like and you may be an interested party, I thought I'd give you a "heads up" so hat you may comment and/or make or suggest improvements. VictorianMutant (talk) 02:36, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Too many lists for Nokia products

I think there are too many templates and lists for Nokia Products. It is too tedious to maintain them. Andries (talk) 19:40, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I am finished, I think, I hope. Nevertheless, I made several very necessary disambiguations and then I do not think that I have the obligation to fix all the many templates and lists. Wikipedia remains a volunteer project and there is only a moral obligation not to harm it and to clean up the mess you created. I did not harm nor create a mess with the necessary disambiguations.

The non-necessary disambiguations that I made are a different case. Then I should clean up my own mess. Andries (talk) 11:06, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

No need for excuses; hopefully none of the disambigs you create are "non-necessary". You aren't obligated to clean up after yourself; we just ask people to as a consideration. If you care enough to create the disambig, why not care enough to make sure users reach the correct page? But it's up to you. --JaGa^talk 11:24, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Pilate redirect

When you initiate an official discussion on editing I am involved with, I think you owe me the courtesy of notifying me so that I can participate. I don't appreciate what you did behind my back. Next time, try to be a courteous editor. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE _{GOOD WORKS} 20:32, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

I replied to your comments on the Pilate talk page; that should have been enough. Calm down and give WP:CIVIL a read. --JaGa^talk 20:36, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. An while I read that, you read this. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE _{GOOD WORKS} 23:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Permanent way

Hi. I've gone through the list of what links to permanent way, but I've only been able to fix a few - it wasn't clear which article Permanent way (history) or Permanent way (current) was the intended link (if any) in many cases.

Additionally a lot of the links are from Template:train topics , haven't changed that for the same reason.

(For this reason I recently proposed a merge of the two articles).Sf5xeplus (talk) 21:13, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Great, thanks! It is very confusing; I wasn't looking forward to trying to figure this out so we could fix the links. I really appreciate your help. --JaGa^talk 22:54, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:37, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Nome (country subdivision)

Hi, now that Nome (country subdivision) points to a disambig, could you help out fixing links per WP:FIXDABLINKS? I've found navigation popups to be very useful when you set the popupFixDabs flag to true. --JaGa^talk 19:50, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Well that's precisely what I've done, fixing all links that had something to do with Egypt to the correct target: Nome (Egypt): [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] etc. As this link was included in a template (that was fixed by another user) the remaining pages appearing here are cached versions of pages including this template, with little to no actual links. Do you know a way to massively purge cached pages with the tool you are suggesting? Place Clichy (talk) 10:05, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Wow! I do, using WP:AWB, but I am on vacation right now (using an infuriatingly weird French keyboard at my hotel BTW) and can't get to it before Sat. I'll clear it out then if it still needs doing. Thanks for the hard work, it's greatly appreciated! --JaGa^talk 21:12, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

DAB question for you

Hi JaGa, I have disambiguation question for you. I am wondering why Rachel (disambiguation) is not the main point for Rachel. I'm not sure how the Wikipedia can have the main article for that page be the Biblical character without violating WP:NPOV. At the very least Rachel (given name) should be the main article with a redirect to the DAB page. Suggestions? Thanks, -Classicfilms (talk) 19:31, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! If the Biblical character is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, there's absolutely nothing POV about placing her article there. See David, for instance. If you think it should be changed, put in a move request; but personally, I'd say the Biblical figure is the primary topic, considering her position in Christianity and Judaism, and the frequent references to her in popular culture (Moby Dick comes to mind). --JaGa^talk 19:40, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm unfamiliar with the move process. Can you describe it a bit? Well, I must respectfully disagree with you (and with David too). I am not saying that references to the Jewish/Christian bible do not occur in American (or British) literature. For the Wikipedia to make "Rachel" the biblical character or "David" the biblical character a primary topic,however, is indeed offering a particular point of view by implying that these religious figures offer a global definition of whatever the topic is (in this case names). I'm not saying it is a conscious form of NPOV. But the English Wikipedia is accessed by individuals whose world view may not derive from this particular religious viewpoint -- and I say that for any article that would pertain to any character of any religion. In other words, the most NPOV use of a primary topic article would simply be something like Rachel (given name) . Thanks,-Classicfilms (talk) 19:51, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Check out this move request link; that's where I go when I need to make a page move. Still, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is what's important here; when you consider incoming links, book searches, etc., it seems the pages are set up properly. (Especially David, which is a vital article.) --JaGa^talk 20:45, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Ha ha, joke is on me for not noticing the link in your first post. :-) I do respect your opinion, I just don't agree with it. I placed the move request on the article page. Thanks again for disamb. help. -Classicfilms (talk) 21:24, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Whorl (biology)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Whorl (biology), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Whorl. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:35, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

New question

Here's a new challenge for you. I don't know if it's solvable at your end, and there is a workaround that can be applied in AWB, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Changing things so that the toolserver recognizes {{morecat}} as "tagged" certainly accomplished its purpose as far as managing the untagged backlog goes, but the unexpected side effect has been that it's shifted a bit of an unnecessary backlog onto the Categorized Articles list, since it now counts articles with the morecat tag as being "tagged with categories" even though that template isn't incompatible with the presence of one or more visible non-stub categories.

It is possible to filter articles out by comparing the list with Category:Articles needing additional categories in AWB's list comparer, so it's not an urgent issue. And, of course, the ultimately correct fix would be for User:SoxBot to learn how to distinguish hidden categories from content ones, so that we don't end up sometimes having to use morecat as a necessary but technically incorrect workaround. But I was wondering nonetheless: is it possible to separate the two lists so that {{morecat}} counts as tagged for the purposes of the "Uncategorized articles" list but not for the purposes of the "Categorized articles" one? Or do we just have to stick with the list comparison workaround? Bearcat (talk) 21:47, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll check it out. I'm sure it's possible, just a question of how to do it. I'm about to take a short vacation, so it'll be a couple of weeks or so before I get to look at it. --JaGa^talk 21:55, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

No worries, and no rush. It's not like I work with that list very often; most articles on it will eventually get untagged in the process of cleaning up Category:Uncategorized articles anyway. Bearcat (talk) 22:01, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and two other minor things:

1. The downloadable version of the untagged uncats list still sometimes (but not always) picks up Main Page, even though it never shows up on the primary untagged list.
2. It also fails to pick up articles from the primary untagged list which have a / in their title (e.g. Cortlandt/Cooney family), with the result that after doing an automated run through the downloadable list, one still has to go back to the main list to manually tag any leftover slashed titles.

Again, no rush; these two issues combined generally never account for more than three or four articles at a time. Just so you're aware for whenever you do get a chance to work on them. Bearcat (talk) 22:29, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, the "Categorized articles" report should be fixed with today's run (the October 20 run). Could you let me know if it's OK? Also, do you know of any other slash-containing articles I can look at for minor problem #2? Thanks, --JaGa^talk 01:54, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I haven't seen any titles with slashes in them at all since your last response, but I'm keeping an eye out to let you know when one turns up. That said, what I am starting to see a lot more of lately, which hadn't been happening so much for a while, is pages that are properly categorized showing up on the list after a page move. Bearcat (talk) 22:13, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Scratch the first part; I found a few slashed titles that are appearing on the main list right now, but not on the downloadable version: Accelerated Reduction/Elimination of Toxics, First/Dreams Come True, List of UK charts and number-one singles (1952–1969)/NME and List of UK charts and number-one singles (1952–1969)/Record Retailer. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 22:15, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the example. You should see the slashes in the download list now. Let me know if there are any problems - sometimes those slashes cause problems with the scripts etc., so I wouldn't be surprised if something crops up. Looked OK when I loaded the page though. Oh, and if you see the Main Page again, could you let me know? I just added some code to specifically NOT get the Main Page, so we'll see. --JaGa^talk 22:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Kataragama versus Kataragama temple article

Thanks for getting involved, I created a brand new article called Kataragama temple, it was not a cut and pase from Kataragama but after you asked for help and merged the history of Kataragama into Kataragam temple (thus denying the possibility of that article showing up in DYK) someone has recreated the Kataragama article by actually cutting and pasting from the history page of Kataragama temple. Now we have two articles one (i.e Kataragama) derived from the previous revision of Kataragama temple talking about the same subject. Although I did not agree with you, but I appreciated your involvement. Can you now do something to resolve this mess please. Thanks Kanatonian (talk) 14:30, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

it is fixed now but do keep a "watch" on it, if you can. Thanks Kanatonian (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Why would you start over from scratch when the article already existed? You shouldn't have two versions of the same article in mainspace at the same time. --JaGa^talk 21:30, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Code a new stats analysis?

Hi. Would you be interested in coding a monthly graphic that plots dab vs base page views for the prior month? The dab/base pairs would be only those where, at the start and end of the month, both pages existed and the base page did not have {{tl:disambig}} on it. The base page could be an article or a redirect. I have done a test graph from pageview logs for one month. It showed a linear relationship when both axes are log(10). The "dab high" outliers generally are instances where the base page name is occupied by an article that is not the primary topic. From the same data you could also generate a report that identifies dab/base pairs that merit a proposal at WP:RM. 69.3.72.249 (talk) 03:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm already behind in maintenance/new toolserver projects; I'm not taking anything new on for a while. Not to mention, I usually oppose your attempts to move pages based on, say, 3.5% pageviews for the (disambiguation) page. --JaGa^talk 09:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Toolserver question

How come Template:RGSmunicipalities doesn't appear on Templates with dab links today? It had over 50 incoming links and two disambig page links (which I just fixed, but it should still appear struck out). I see that you just fixed another one of these Brazilian municipality templates, too, which didn't appear on the list. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:59, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I was surprised at that. I'm not sure why they didn't get picked up; I haven't changed the scripts for quite some time. We'll see if this happens again tomorrow. --JaGa^talk 12:02, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

DAB Challenge

Yesterday, I made a number of edits to links hidden in template calls, like this one. These edits replaced links to a disambiguation page with links to the correct article. I notice today that these edits aren't showing up in my DAB Challenge count. Just thought you should know. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:24, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm. Yeah, the scripts aren't smart enough to detect the {{!}} template. I didn't even know that template existed when I created them. I'll see if I can squeeze it in. Thanks much for the notification! --JaGa^talk 12:34, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done But it won't show up until next month's contest. Should catch most (but not all) hatnote fixes now. --JaGa^talk 02:56, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Looks like User:Schwyz is possibly back (again, again)

For your information: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Schwyz. Dpmuk (talk) 01:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Nice catch! Was the move tool of any help? --JaGa^talk 02:28, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Yep, as I said on ANI it was the tool that let me spot him. As you can see from User:Dpmuk/Schwyz there are two date periods I'm worried about where I think we may have missed socks. Will try and write a tool myself to look for them, although this may take a little time. Dpmuk (talk) 11:27, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to your tool I think I may have found yet another one - see the SPI case if you're interested. Dpmuk (talk) 11:09, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes, TurkChan. I saw that the other day but was on the fence - some of the really old history didn't look very Schwyz-like. But I see the user has continued since then with behavior that is very Schwyzian indeed. I think you've got a winner. I suppose, over the next few weeks, we'll be seeing Schwyz burn through all his socks. I'm under the impression that he has dozens - from a long career of moving to a new sock as soon as he draws too much attention to himself. Thanks for letting me know about the SPI - I'm very interested in stopping this behavior. --JaGa^talk 11:30, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Not a problem - I've just added another to the investigation as well! Dpmuk (talk) 13:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

And another - think I've managed to dig out a sleeper this time so it will have to be done on behaviour alone but to me it's certain. Dpmuk (talk) 01:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

That is definitely Schwyz. This user got into some edit wars over moving Lake XYZ to XYZ Lake, and a bunch of Portugal stuff. Pretty scary, considering how long that user has been around. This guy has been single-handedly mucking up Wikipedia for years. --JaGa^talk 02:06, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Think I may finally have linked it back to another lot of socks and we're talking a long time ago - what do you reckon on User:Tobias Conradi. Personally I'm convinced but, if you're happy to, I thought I'd let you take a look and see what you think without mentioning why. Dpmuk (talk) 00:50, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Ouch, so he goes all the way back to 2003??? Certainly looks like him - the unilateral page moves, the admin attacks, the anti-USA rants. And boy, he has a long rap sheet. Here's an arbitration case that has some familiar complaints. And here's the enough is enough discussion about him. And he never left. Well, I think people should know these accounts are probably the same. But how? Mention it at the next SPI? (Nice detective work BTW.) --JaGa^talk 01:12, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Interesting the ways you've linked them - I mainly linked them based on the articles moved which are the same as some of the moves done by the current socks (or current socks move back to the title used when created by Tobias), the Lake X/X Lake thing (also with rivers) and the language used in his move summaries. Taken together I'm now 100% convinced. No idea how best to take this forward - this is starting to get stupidly large and I'm starting to feel out of my depth. Posting to WP:AN could make some sense but may also be giving them too much limelight. Dpmuk (talk) 01:37, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Not to mention people there could give you a hard time since Tobias is already blocked. Perhaps at the next SPI, bring it up? There will probably be people there that remember him in that incarnation. (And yeah, I'm 100% positive too. That's him.) --JaGa^talk 01:43, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Started an ANI thread. I'm not happy with just two non-admins being the main people dealing with this as it seems so much bigger than that. Dpmuk (talk) 14:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I came across this from the ANI link; I'll notify PMDrive1061, who is an admin and can probably help. Both of us have been dealing with this as well, from a somewhat different perspective (I'll go into more detail on the ANI thread), so you're not totally alone. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have made it clearer what I meant. I'm aware that other people have been looking at this from different angles (e.g. reverting) - although I wasn't aware of your actions - but it seems to me that JaGa and I have been the main ones finding the new socks (apart from the obvious "post on ANI" ones). Oh well by bringing this up again at ANI I've at least found more users actively involved in this and that by itself justifies the ANI thread to me. Dpmuk (talk) 16:43, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah; I've been watching, but it seems my timing is always a little off. It's not as if it's particularly hard to spot these socks, just that it seems I'm always away from my computer when they pop up. If/when I see socks, I'm ready to get an admin to whack them. But Special:NewPages light up like a damn Christmas tree when I saw TigreTiger (didn't realize what was going on at the time), so I'll know it when I see it. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:50, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

That's good to know - especially as you're looking at it from the new pages angle as JaGa and I have mainly been looking for them by page moves. TigreTiger lit up both but I doubt they all will. It's also good to know of at least one admin familiar with the case as hopefully I can just point them at the sock and they're spot it without all the hassle of collecting evidence for a SPI. Dpmuk (talk) 17:01, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

As for User:CSCarlosXXVIII, I'm not sure although it's definitely suspicious. Given when they've been editing I'd have suspected one of the sweeper checks done recently to pick them up but it may be worth asking for CU as I don't know how well they've got the IP range sorted yet. Purely on behaviour I'm very suspicious although, for me, I don't think it's enough to definitely make the connection and block. That said I've found in the past that I'm more lenient than a lot of admins so could be worth an SPI to get some more views. Dpmuk (talk) 11:15, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to wait and see; I don't want to be accused of "fishing". I've left a note about the user's behavior at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject British Royalty; we'll see what happens. --JaGa^talk 11:35, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Articles with links to disambiguation pages

Was wondering if it were possible to update the script on this page to include a 'Jump' option like on the Disambiguation pages with links page. Sometimes I just go to the latter, pick a number, and go. Being able to do the same on articles would be a nice option. Ulric1313 (talk) 06:38, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

I'll check it out. Should be easy enough. I'm glad you're looking at that report - that one usually gets ignored. --JaGa^talk 11:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

 Done Let me know if there are any bugs. Thanks for the request! --JaGa^talk 00:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Showing all orphaned files

Hi JaGa. I noticed that your tool does not show any orphaned file in Category:Chemical structures even though there are three orphaned files in that category. In one case, the file is omitted from this list as it is tagged for moving to Commons. I would appreciate having an option to show all orphaned files in a category. --Leyo 09:20, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I've been meaning to do maintenance on the orphan images tools for some time. I'll check it out (but it will be a while - I'm going to be moving soon). --JaGa^talk 11:55, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

 Done At long last. I've added some more info and tweaked the logic; please let me know what you think. --JaGa^talk 07:06, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

It looks great, thank you. I like the new columns Creation date and Notes. I am however, not sure how Orphan since works. December 18, 2010 shows up in the vast majority of cases I checked. Is this the date when you started with a database?

I have two suggestions what could be added to make the tool even more useful:

• In the column Notes it could be indicated if an image has already been moved to Commons. Currently, “only” images containing {{move-to-commons}} are tagged (with Move to Commons), which is also a useful information.
• An option to invert the selection would be useful to be used in subcategories of Category:Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons. This would enable to files that need their links to be fixed to the Commons version. This task could also be done by non-admins to help admins with the work there.

--Leyo 11:07, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks much for the feedback. Orphan since is indeed based on when I started compiling this data; it will be more useful in a few months' time. Regarding Notes, could you give me an example for the already moved to Commons? Are you talking about Commons images that have Wiki pages (usually for a category or some template)? --JaGa^talk 08:47, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for being unclear. I meant images tagged with Template:Now Commons and therefore being in subcategories of Category:Wikipedia files on Wikimedia Commons. --Leyo 19:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 Done If an image links to {{Now Commons}}, a note will show up in the column (unless it's also tagged for deletion or move to Commons). --JaGa^talk 05:59, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

That's exactly how I had it in mind. Thank you! Are you willing to add my other feature request (invert selection, i.e. showing non-orphaned files)? It would also be great if you would update the de.wikipedia version similarly. There would of course be no hurry. :-) --Leyo 09:07, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

There have been no objections to the move request. Do you know what the next step is for getting the page moved? The page should reside at Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and The Tree at Rockefeller Center should be redirected. Currently, it is the exact opposite setup. Thank you for your guidance and assistance. //Brycetom (talk) 22:32, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

We just have to wait; an administrator will close the discussion and perform the move in a few days (unless they choose to re-list it for further discussion, which will take a few more days). --JaGa^talk 22:34, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

List of Kangxi radicals‎

On the List of Kangxi radicals‎, I think the better solution is, rather than unlink the disambig pages and redirects, to create articles on the characters (which we will eventually have for all of them anyway). Cheers! bd2412 T 19:06, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

But the list already links to the radicals through the "No." column. I just unlinked the handful of wikilinked Pinyin transcriptions. --JaGa^talk 19:16, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Bonus List Issue

The Bonus List seems to be stuck as has been 13 hours since it last updated when I write this.

Just letting you know.

Ulric1313 (talk) 08:06, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I just took care of it. Thanks for letting me know! It wouldn't have got unstuck until I got around to noticing the problem. --JaGa^talk 08:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Northern Cyprus edits

Hi. It wasn't immediately clear to me why you made these edits at Northern Cyprus. The new image of the "green line" is probably useful, but I'm not sure why you chose to delete three other pictures. There may very possibly be a good reason which I'm missing, but I'd be grateful to understand your rationale. I hope you'll consider putting your comments on the article's talk page so that everyone can easily see them. Thanks. Richwales (talk · contribs) 17:17, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

That wasn't my edit. Check the history again. --JaGa^talk 17:18, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Oops. Mea culpa. I'll readdress my question to the IP anon who edited after you. Richwales (talk · contribs) 17:47, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I'll bet you're glad you were civil in your first message! Thanks for AGF. --JaGa^talk 18:43, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

/* Talkback */

Hello, JaGa. You have new messages at N2e's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I just left you another couple of messages. N2e (talk) 17:21, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

And another. (I appreciate your help on this. Clearly, if I could get the tool to work, I could do this much more efficiently). N2e (talk) 17:46, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanx

Lol, i'm the fastest gun in the west ;-) . Thanx for that report link. It will be very useful for my future catches. Best of regards. --Dэя-Бøяg 22:27, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

My pleasure. The more people keeping an eye on things the better. --JaGa^talk 22:31, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

re: real-time dab fixin'

Hi - thanks for the message and the welcome! Dab fixes were one of the very first things I did as a brand-new Wikipedian, yon those many years ago, when I was unaware of ANI and wikidrama. I like doing it because of my WikiGnomish nature - checking things off of lists appeals to me. In early 2008 I cleared something like 45 days of the backlog at Copyright problems by myself, so I'm either devoted to the project, a WikiGnome in serious need of an intervention, or completely insane. ;-)

Yup, real-time is a tough one. I had to stop last night because of a headache - not that real-time gave me the headache, because it didn't - so today I picked up with standard, which isn't quite as difficult, though I've had to make some judgment calls. In both, it's as if the most commonly used definitions of those words aren't listed, and Wiktionary isn't much help. I'm going to stop 'standard' later tonight and do some of the smaller ones, then I'll come back to the tougher ones. In real-time. :-P Thanks again - KrakatoaKatie 01:15, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Ha, yeah, I'm a list-ticker too. I created the DAB Challenge with the hopes that other people get the same joy I do from seeing numbers go up, goals reached, etc. - and it's been a success. I suppose it's not unlike gaming, getting a bit of happy hormones with the completion of an attainable task, just we actually get something meaningful from the time investment. Hope to see you around! --JaGa^talk 03:01, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Dear God, I just read the cluster headache article. I'm terribly sorry you have to deal with that. --JaGa^talk 03:07, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

LGBT articles of Brazil

Hello JaGa! I am Brazilian and I need of you to correct my translation edits, because you are from an english speaking-country, please help me in the Same-sex adoption in Brazil, Changing legal gender assignment in Brazil, LGBT rights in Brazil, Recognition of same-sex unions in Brazil, Age of consent in Brazil, Prejudice in the Brazilian LGBT community, and Criminalization of homophobia in Brazil. 23 December 2010 (UTC)

I'll be glad to take a stab at it. I'll work on articles as I get the chance. Thanks for the note. --JaGa^talk 16:26, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
