Clarification

Hi Till, someone raised a concern about a comment of mine on ANI. I checked again, and what I wrote was a little unclear. I've clarified on my talk page. (Just an FYI). Mark Arsten (talk) 16:02, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Thankyou for having the courtesy to notify me. Till 09:30, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

English

Hi, Till, welcome back! Since your Australian I presume your English is great. My mother/native language is Dutch so I don't have that natural feel for English I often hesitate with grammar. So I have a question do I use "a" or "an" when a word begins with a u? AdabowtheSecond 19:14, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) "a" for the next word beginning with a Consonant and "an" for the next word beginning with a Vowel (A, E, I, O, U. Sometimes, but not always, it can be used for H too). Examples: he found a book / he saw an ultraviolet light. There are irregularities though: he rode a unicycle, just one of those ones which doesn't conform. AARONTALK 19:46, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
So do I use an for the words UK & US AdabowtheSecond 19:50, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
...unless the U is pronounced like it has a Y at the beginning, like 'a united front' vs 'an unacceptable situation' (✉→BWilkins←✎) 20:10, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
So this correct "an US$50" or "an UK act" AdabowtheSecond 20:14, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Thank you. At least some people here appreciate my presence. Till 23:46, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

On a similar matter - your second revert of a NAC on the exact same article was disruptive. That NAC closure was appropriate in terms of time, was appropriate due to the policy-based arguments, was appropriate due to sheer #'s of "keep" vs "delete" (yes, I know it's not a vote, but a single delete vote amongst a sea of well-arguments keep's was the veritable definition of "clear"). You had nothing to gain by reverting such an obviously clear close, and Wikipedia had more to lose by doing it (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:09, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

I disagree. The thread that was a product of the initial closure has decreed that NAC closures are only appropriate when it's a clear keep. The Afd could have easily been relisted because one editor asserted that a chart placement was enough to keep the article (which is not a criteria for existence on an album article) and asserted that sources probably exist without actually providing them. Another editor stated that there are enough unrelated sources which is an invalid rationale for keeping because for all we know a source could be unrelated and unreliable at the same time; other than that there was actually one valid reason to keep it. Excluding myself, one other editor expressed concerns with the notability of the article in terms of its sources which is why a relist could be possible. Btw when I reverted, the Afd looked like this so the Milowent user had not commented on it yet. Again, I don't have a problem with the Afd being closed as keep, I have a problem with it being closed by a non-admin. Till 23:44, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Like I said, at that point it was a clear keep (✉→BWilkins←✎) 00:45, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
You miss the point. What I'm saying is that it should be closed as a keep, but by an administrator. My edit summaries clearly reiterate this; "Let an administrator close it", "Should be closed by an admin", "For administrative action". Till 00:51, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Hellow

Hi, Till, your a great addition to Wikipedia, your contributions are always cohesive. No one deserves to be taunted personally. The incivility is just clouding your great contributions. Come back with a new approach or a new account maybe (but you would probably need a new IP address too) — a fresh start and you wouldn't be stalked anymore just a thought. By the way once I re-nominate the Moments (One Direction song) article for GA, I'm expecting you to review. Regards AdabowtheSecond 15:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Adabow, that was so sweet! Thank you for your words. I really didn't feel like making an edit until reading this. Till 23:00, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
AdabowtheSecond 00:23, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
If you renominate Moments (One Direction song), I'll re-review it when I get unblocked in a week. :) Till 05:16, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Not yet at least not in one week I want to expand so more. Make it feel more GA-worthy. I concur with Calvin/Aaron's statement down below we all need some time away from Wikipedia at one point or another. AdabowtheSecond 21:48, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

CSD log

How do I create a CSD log page, that shows all the CSDs that I ever made in my editing history? Till 09:38, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
To do it the easy way, first enable Twinkle in your Preferences (under "Gadgets") (if you haven't already). Then go to WP:Twinkle/Preferences and tick the box marked "Keep a log of CSD tagging in userspace" (or something similar to that, I can't recall the precise wording off the top of my head). Whenever you tag a page with a CSD tag using Twinkle, it will be automatically recorded in your CSD log. To the best of my knowledge, there's no easy way to do it manually; you'd have to create a user subpage and then paste the article title there every time you placed a CSD tag. Somewhat onerous...
If you need a hand using Twinkle, give me a shout, or have a read of User:Yunshui/Twinkle for beginners. Cheers, Yunshui  10:21, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
... so enabling that will log all future CSD tagging. Going back to previous ones would require a lot more work - and I do mean a lot (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:37, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
↑ Very valid point... Yunshui  10:40, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Okay thanks. Just out of curiousity, how would that be done? Till 10:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
I'm sure there's a slightly easier way, but in my mind it would entail creating some type of process to comb through your contributions, looking for the phrase "tag for CSD" (or whatever the default phrase is), and exporting the name of the related article out to some form of log, then moving on to the next item in the list. YMMV - I'm a tech writer not a tech doer LOL (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Off the top of my head, the only way I can think to do it would be to persuade a willing and very bored admin (don't look at me!) to go through your deleted edits and pick out all the CSDs (plus you'd have to go through your own edits and find the ones which didn't get deleted - that bit, at least is easy). Then you could manually list them on a userpage. I'll have a think about it, though, there might be an easier solution. Yunshui  10:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
What the hell, I couldn't think of a better way. I guess I must be suitably bored and willing after all: User:Till/Manual CSD log. It's separate from User:Till/CSD log, which is the page Twinkle will create. Yunshui  11:33, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Umm..wasn't that the nicest thing anyone has done for me! Thankyou Yunshui. Very nice and helpful for you to do that. Till 11:44, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Calvin999

Sorry to fill up your page with my problems but Calvin999 has started threatening me with a block when once again he is in the wrong. He is reverting all of my edits that are updating the chart format. He is saying that it is vandalism when like you said, I believe strongly that they are constructive. I am feeling personally victimized by this user and it is really annoying me now. You can see my talk page for what's gone on. Sorry again to take up your time. Iluvrihanna24 (talk) 19:29, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

I haven't threatened you with a block, it's a pre-loaded template like I just told you. You've bought this on yourself because you DO NOT LISTEN. Don't be so dramatic, it's wearing very thin now and everyone is seeing through it. Enough of this whole "I'm being victimized" thing, I remember you saying all this last time. And correction, I don't revert all your edits. AARONTALK 19:32, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
I have just received this message from Calvin:

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Only Girl (In the World), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. This slipped my attention somehow. I've tired of telling you not to WP:OVERLINK. You never, ever listen. AARONTALK 15:33, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

This is extremely malicious behavior I am receiving. He is trying to make it look as though a (constructive may I add) edit I made on November 17 was from today to make it look as though I am repeatedly "defying" his requests. I seriously think he should be blocked from Wikipedia. This is the lowest of the low. I don't understand what his problem is with me at all that he feels the need to get me blocked. I have told him this. Can someone please warn him to leave me alone and stop treating me like I am so beneath him as an editor. I just want to edit in peace without him always being on my talk page and harassing me actually. Iluvrihanna24 (talk) 15:42, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

WP:OVERLINK is not constructive, and when you do it as much as you do, it's vandalising. Seriously, the amount of times I've told you this, it's unreal. AARONTALK 15:46, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Bom Bom

I did look at the history. The last vandalistic IP was 1 December and the previous one before that was 19 November. That's not a significant amount of vandalism to warrant semi-protection. If you were seeing several a day then that would be different. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 00:28, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Hahc, didn't we just have a friendly and nice conversation above? I don't understand why you'd open such a ridiculous ANI thread. I hope this doesn't change our friendship in any way. Also, the fact that you didn't notify Status really tells alot. Till 03:40, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
I notified him! o.0 And no, our friendship won't change. You are still my friend and I still appreciate you. Although, I believe you should be more careful when talking about other people. I know that Status and you are no longer friends, but you were blocked before for being uncivil... I wouldn't like to see you blocked again :( — ΛΧΣ21 03:44, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Sorry! He removed it which is why I couldn't see it. Till 03:45, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Don't worry :). And, a little advice: trying to get the attention away from you by bringing back past comments may end up working against you. It did to me last month when I was restricted, and I almost ended up being blocked today for a foolish action. The best way to go is to simply say "I apologize for what I said", and leave it all behind. I know that our big-as-hell pride don't let us do that very often, but it is needed sometimes. — ΛΧΣ21 03:53, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
