This template will be removed when I feel like quitting for good (i'll replace it with a {{retired}} template or i'll remove this template when I come back to editing more often.) Thanks!

RFA Criteria

[edit]

Hello. I was taking a look at your RFA criteria and I noticed you put an emphasis on a custom sig. Since I am one of the few regulars using the default signature, naturally I'm wondering what your motivation was to put that in your RFA criteria. Feel free to speak candidly, I won't be offended by any response. Useight (talk) 22:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're the first to mention that, but I was expecting this. It will not change my !vote a ton however I like seeing that because it proves a good understanding of style in the Wiki-Language. It is the same with the userspace. I like looking at it because it shows how they manipulate the Wiki-Language. It's not a humongous deal if I they don't have much customization of it, but I feel it's like "extra credit" in an RfA. Nothing huge; nothing i'll oppose with ;-D K50 Dude ROCKS! 22:44, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Before RyanCross redigned my userpage, it was pretty much just text. Useight (talk) 05:00, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice TB template

[edit]

I noticed your custom talkback template. Very creative! I had to compliment you on that. Inferno, Lord of Penguins 03:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! You can also see User:K50 Dude/talkback to see actually what I typed up to make it happen. It was really just a random idea I thought up a few days ago... Thanks again for the compliment! Cheers, K50 Dude R♥CKS! 03:35, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT: Where did you think up your username? Inferno, Lord of Penguins sounds a little... unusual... Inferno shouldn't like penguins! =D K50 Dude R♥CKS! 03:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes!!! I got the talkback message on my talk page! Anyways, I wanted a username that was "Lord of Penguins", but I thought it needed a name. So, instead of something like "Rick, Lord of Penguins" or "Giraffe, Lord of Penguins" I chose a name that contradicts the cold habitats (and ice cold souls) of the penguins - Inferno. Maybe I'm crazy, but either explanation explains my username - I think. Inferno, Lord of Penguins 03:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also - Happy birthday! Inferno, Lord of Penguins 03:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Mabye you are crazy... IDK. Thanks again. K50 Dude R♥CKS! 03:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have a pixel cake! Inferno, Lord of Penguins 03:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

<eats cake> YUM! Thanks again. K50 Dude R♥CKS! 03:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Might I ask how you ate the cake? Seems you would have to go through a screen and likely fry yourself. Enlighten me. Inferno, Lord of Penguins 03:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I used the force to bring it out of the screen. K50 Dude R♥CKS! 04:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CSD Essay G7

[edit]

Your explanation is faulty, the editor asking for deletion doesn't only need to be the principle editor of the page, there's an additional provision that there shouldn't be any significant edits by anyone else. (This to prevent people from requesting deletion of everything they wrote if they decide to throw a tantrum and leave) If anyone else edited a page in some significant way, then the page has potential and shouldn't go despite the wishes of the original creator unless flawed in some other unsalvagable way. - Mgm|(talk) 10:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing that up; i've changed it. K50 Dude R♥CKS! 15:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RFA/astantine-210

[edit]

Even though it's officially archived, please modify the indent of But why would you be practicing vandalism with an admin template when you aren't an admin but in your RfA you said you were going to revert vandalism? I find that a bit fishy...switched to normal support though. so it's clear you aren't replying to me. You'll have to use an edit summary that discourages summary undoing :). Thanks. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 11:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit confused by the question...what do you mean by "You'll have to use an edit summary that discourages summary undoing?" K50 Dude R♥CKS! 16:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
People tend to automatically revert edits to archived discussion. If you use an edit summary like "post-archive minor change to correct indent - see User_talk:K50_Dude#RFA/astantine-210, please do not revert" and mark the change minor, that should be good enough. By the way, I'll keep your page watchlisted for at least a week, there's no need to notify me I have a reply. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 16:36, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I only notify people once anyway ;-) thanks for the help again! K50 Dude R♥CKS! 00:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Just thought i'd ask if you've re-read this RfA recently. Your Moral Support vote seems to be sticking out a little given that this RfA seems to stand a reasonable chance of passing at the moment; and there is also a valid query about your vote. Just thought you might wish to take another look at it; apologies if you're aware of what's going on and felt your original comment was still applicable! ~ mazca t|c 23:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know... There was a power outage all night last night here in Portland so I haven't checked it. Thanks for letting me know about it... I'll do it right now! Cheers, K50 Dude R♥CKS! 00:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. :) ~ mazca t|c 07:49, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You!

New deal for page patrollers

[edit]

Hi K50 Dude,

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) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Portland Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon: March 12, 2022

[edit]

You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia.
