Editor Review

I have posted a review at Wikipedia:Editor review/Parker1297. I hope that it is helpful (it's only the second review I've done!)

Sorry for the delay - like the rest of Wikipedia, the Editor Review relies on volunteers, and the backlog is a result of editors either not knowing about it, or not having the time to do anything on it!

Reviewing an editor takes a bit of time - for example, it took about 45 mins to do yours: it involves looking at the editor's contributions and edit counts, and seeing what the editor is or isn't doing - so you can't just look at a couple of their edits, you need to look at quite a few!

Anyway, it's done now! I hope you come back to editing soon.

Adoption

I am more than willing to adopt you! If you wish to accept, be adopted by someone else, or have any questions before accepting, leave a message at my talk page! Thanks, fetchcomms☛ 00:07, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Consider yourself adopted! :) Don't hesitate to ask me any questions at my talk page!-- fetchcomms☛ 00:11, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

NASA

Good job, I see you've already started with a proposal. Actually, NASA could be a task force under the Astronomy or Spaceflight projects, but it seems to be broad enough to have its own project, too. Of course, if you don't see too many supporters, you could always propose a task force for any of the above projects. For publicity, consider posting your project here: Template:Announcements/Community bulletin board. There is a rather long guide here but if you'd like, I can help you with things like creating banners or templates, etc., which I see are currently redlinked on your project page. Again, good work, and I'd be more than glad to help you expand your project! fetchcomms☛ 00:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Can you create a subpage (like User:Parker1297/sandbox/nasa or something) and list out all the templates and stuff you need help with? I'll try to get started with some things you can use right away, thanks! fetchcomms☛ 01:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll start working now. Also, there is a template,

Done made by {{done}}, which you might find a little easier. -- fetchcomms☛ 01:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I fixed your userbox a little and I made the assessment scale, although you'll need categories about NASA articles to make it work properly. Also, if you need help designing banners or getting an ad done for your project, I'd be more than happy to help.-- fetchcomms☛ 01:58, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Any time :) fetchcomms☛ 02:11, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

What would you like for the ad to be (what kind of slogan/pics, etc.)?-- fetchcomms☛ 04:15, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Sure.-- fetchcomms☛ 22:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

is what I have right now. Anyhow, how do you think the project is going? Is it ready to launch (do you have lots of support)? fetchcomms☛ 01:59, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Parker, I'll join you in the NASA project when you get it running, I can start looking up NASA related articles and keep them in a notebook so they can be tagged when the project is up and running. Unless you have already done that. I'll admit I'm not the most skilled "super editor" with the Wikipedia formatting but I can help you wherever you need. Marine79 (talk) 05:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Admin

No, I am certainly not qualified. It's not easy becoming an admin, and I'm not sure if I want to become one, either. (Please don't nominate me now, many people would not like it.) Thanks for asking, though.-- fetchcomms☛ 22:51, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Pages only show templates

I guess [1] was a problem on your end. Is it working for you again? Otherwise, try to completely clear your cache. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:45, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Temple Baptist Church (Titusville, Florida)

A tag has been placed on Temple Baptist Church (Titusville, Florida) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 19:12, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 22:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Sandbox

Just to tell you the IP I reverted has been warned on numerous occasions about vandalizing the sandbox. He/she has blanked their talk page. You are only supposed to edit below a certain line, however this user has been constantly blanking the page. Therefore you using rollback to revert my revert wasn't a good idea. Regards Footyfanatic3000 ^{(talk · contribs)} 23:47, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Lol it's alright then! Footyfanatic3000 ^{(talk · contribs)} 23:47, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Parker1297, just to let you know, 3RR does not limit the number of reversions that can be made due to vandalism (in response to what I saw on the IP's talk page). Keep up the good work, Malinaccier (talk) 23:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Parker1297! May you be blessed with a full plate and a joyous spirit!
I hope that this Christmas season is one of celebration and rest for you and your family. fetchcomms☛ 18:56, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Tabriz article

I notices that you have reverted removal of a phrase inside Tabriz article. To be honest I don't know who was that IP address, but I think his removal was correct. since: Tabriz had not take part in the protest against the election (you wouldn't part any serious reference inside the net for participation of Tabriz in that protests). This special phrase is a general phrase about protest against election in Iran. It doesn't describe the role of the city in election and protests after election. The entitled photo which is uploaded is not belong to the election (it is belong to an election campaign just few days before election, you may notice to the date which photo is taken). Beside this there is already an special article about that protest which is describing everything. So I think removing this phrase from Tabriz article is correct.--Microinjection (talk) 21:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
