RE:The Mysteries of the Druids
References 8 and 18 had issues in regards to accessing them. When I accessed them, I got a message on both of them that were not shown. Because I could not see them, I was uncertain of their validity. It may work for your computer, but it did not for mine. That is all. Chris (talk) 16:47, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm, what error was it giving you? And were you going to the wayback machine urls 1 2 or the original links that they were archived from? ScottSteiner (talk) 17:15, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- They were at the wayback machine urls. I was not able to look at them at first, but was now and they are valid. I just upgraded my IE from 8 to 9 earlier today and was able to look at them now. I will adjust the comments on the review as a result. Chris (talk) 17:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- May have just been a server glitch, I have WebCited them as well just to be safe. Thanks for the update. ScottSteiner (talk) 17:22, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- It is good now. You have your DYK. Chris (talk) 13:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Excellent work, Scott. This one could be on the road to GA even. The Interior (Talk) 19:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Great. I've got a bit more work to do on it, including the latter half of the game but I will hopefully be able to get to that tomorrow. I also want to flesh out the character description for Melanie Turner a bit. ScottSteiner (talk) 06:47, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the copyediting, I've expanded the article quite a bit: plot now covers the whole game but is more concise, added a short character section with just the main characters and fleshed out the setting section as a result. If you get a chance, would you mind doing a bit more copyediting? It isn't really my strong suit. Thanks again. ScottSteiner (talk) 08:52, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not much copyediting to do there really, you've got composition skillz. I don't know if you've checked out the Prep Queues, but there's a schedule for when the hooks hit the main page. looks like your article will run noon til 8 eastern April 2, although they might be juggling things for April Fool's. The Interior (Talk) 03:56, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the copyediting (it helped fix some of the mistakes I made at 4am) and for the update. ScottSteiner (talk) 07:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
DYK for The Mystery of the Druids
On 2 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Mystery of the Druids, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Computer and Video Games magazine wrote that The Mystery of the Druids holds "very little appeal for anyone but the most patient and geeky PC-head"? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges.

Infiniminer was created by user Hobit, not by me. I'm developing the page. --Kirov Airship (talk) 12:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- The page was deleted and recreated as a redirect. When you changed it from a redirect to an article you, for all intents and purposes, became its creator. Furthermore, the article was deleted because it is non-notable other than passing mention as the inspiration for Minecraft. You have not provided any references which changes that. Once you do that, someone else will remove the tag (either an admin who investigates the CSD or another editor). ScottSteiner ✍ 12:21, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Shameless Plagiarism
Hey there,
I have shamelessly plagiarised your templates to prettify my user-page et al. I hope you don't mind. If you do, then please Drop me a line and I will remove said templates as soon as I can. Philip.t.day talk 14:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- No worries, most of my templates I got elsewhere as well. The menu is a modified version of Wikipedia:User_page_design_center/Menus_and_subpages/Menu15, my talk header is a modified version of User talk:Misza13, the editnotice is User talk:Misza13/Editnotice combined with another editor's talk page setup for replies/archives, but I can't remember their name. ScottSteiner ✍ 14:20, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ahh, great. I didn't want to go upsetting another good New Pages patroller after all! Philip.t.day talk 14:25, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Sortie
Hi, if a sortie is deployed troops, aircraft flown on an operation, or attack ship etc. I did place resources and it said, sorties flown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewew109 (talk • contribs) 12:26, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- A sortie is each time an aircraft is deployed or flown from a base. So 400 aircraft would have flown 3,515 sorties. 5000 personnel wouldn't be close to what is required for flying and support of those aircraft. That would leave you with about 1 person for every 2.4 planes as support. ScottSteiner ✍ 12:33, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Why are you doing that?
Please stop undoing my edits to those pages. Thank you. -81. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.164.209.246 (talk) 12:30, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Do you know that you blanked the entire page? I take it from your other edits this was just a mistake. – Muboshgu (talk) 12:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, it was. Thanks for catching it. It must have been cached or something on my end, because it didn't show it as blanked...just the reverted version. ScottSteiner ✍ 13:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism?
I don't think this edit, which you reverted, counts as vandalism. Seems like an undo should be used. Vandalism has to be indisputable for use of rollback/Huggle. Guoguo12--Talk-- 16:18, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- You're right. It was supposed to go through as Editing tests, but I must have selected the wrong one by mistake. I've reverted my warning on the user. Thanks for pointing that out. ScottSteiner ✍ 16:22, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
