Thanks for reporting Bass713 for vandalism. I had just gone to the WP:AIV page to do the same thing. *sigh* Wikipedia needs far more "new" users like you and far fewer like Bass713. Wrs1864 18:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Woohoo, I finally have a talk page :P Thanks. It's really obvious from Bass713's edit history that he has nothing useful to contribute to Wikipedia... I don't know why people find adding "CHEEESEE!!" to pages amusing (is cheese really that funny?). I don't think I've ever seen vandalism that was anything other than irritating. --Veesicle 18:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Horse Racing

Hi Veesicle,

Maybe Age of racehorses do not need a separate page. Are they somewhere else though? (I'm new here)--The judge and jury 14:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)--The judge and jury 14:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! :D Age of racehorses does seem to me like something that would be better off as a section in the Horse racing article rather than branching off into its own article. To do that, you would need to edit the Horse racing article and add the information in Age of racehorses under a new subheading. You seem to know more about the topic than I do so you would know better where it is most relevant. It might then be an idea to redirect Age of Racehorses to Horse Racing (info on how to do that at Wikipedia:Redirect). Hope that makes sense. --Veesicle 14:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: 40 Wats

You're right, I should have notified him and welcomed him and everything. I have to say, though, that it does look like a self-promotion article. Also, with all of the nonsense articles coming in, I have become less inclined to talk to new users than I should be. Academic Challenger 23:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

As you set out for Ithaka, hope the voyage is long
Knowledge is your destiny, but don't ever hurry the journey
May there be many summer mornings when
With what pleasure and joy, you come into harbors seen for the first time

Don't expect Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey
And, if I, one of your fellow-travellers, can offer something
To make this journey of yours even more fascinating and enjoyable
This is my assistance with anything I can help.

Mimetic desire

Hi Vsicle.

It"s just fine to delete (deleo, delere, deletum: latin for "to destroy", famous for the gerondive "Carthago delenda est" which means"Carthage must be destroyed"). I quit Wikipedia in both English and French.

Sorry to hear that. I have replied on your talk page. --Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 16:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Ben 10: GA Nomination

Hi Veesice! You said on my talk page:

"You recently nominated Ben 10 at Good article candidates. Whilst the article fulfils most of the criteria, it does lack inline citations and references. Think you could fix that? Otherwise it will just fail. Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 02:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)"

You see, we have a redundent loop here: the source for all this information for the Ben 10 article is from a fan site, and there already was a talk discussion about not putting heatblast.net as a source, as wiki considers that as advertizing. So how in the world will this article ever get to GA? --PostScript 04:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello again, Veesice! You said on my talk page, responding to the comment above:

"Oh well yes, that's a tricky situation... generally in Wikipedia articles, especially those at GA status and above, everything needs to be referenced and all sources cited. However, I see that someone on the talk page has mentioned {{cite episode}} ...hopefully that will help you? I'm pretty sure all of the information on that fan site must have come from the episodes anyway. Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 19:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)"

Yeppers, that would help. However, I have done enough damage to the Ben 10 artice already (poor Someguy0830 spent half of his lifetime reverting my edits). I'll leave it to a more experienced user... --PostScript 21:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh no, don't be deterred! Were your edits as an IP? I can't see many recent edits by you (certainly none that should be reverted). Everyone makes mistakes when they start, don't let it put you off continuing to edit the article :) Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 22:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

No, it wasn't IP. It was under me, but it was one major edit... Thanks for the comfort, though! I appreciate it. --PostScript 21:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

KLIA GA Nomination

Hi Veesice!

From KLIA Talk Page, you've said :

"particularly with the long lists of mainly unimportant information, whereas significant sections (i.e. Incidents) appear to be overlooked"

Here i wish to know what have we overlooked and i wish to clarify that since the opening of KLIA, there is only one incident in KLIA and we could not add anymore in because there is no other incidents ( i.e. Fire, hijacking etc).Therefore i wish you can understand me Marcusaffleck 09:53, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Ohh, ok, I apologise, it just seemed to me that a large airport like that would have more significant events occuring within in it... anyway, my other comments still stand I feel. A lot of the article is quite messy and consists of lists of mostly irrelevant information. Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 22:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

List reverser

Hello, I noticed you've uploaded List Reverser. If it's not too much trouble or a strain on the server, would you consider linking it into Category:Wikipedia articles contravening the Manual of Style for lists of works?

Many people could not use it as they did not have a suitable server.

Thanks. Whilding87 11:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure, done :) Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 17:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Pan Am Flight 103

Hi, Veesicle, could you please point me towards the GA discussion of Pan Am Flight 103, which you have just delisted. Thanks.Phase4 13:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

My interpretation of the GA rules is that anyone can list or delist an article if they feel it does or doens't meet the criteria. Feel free to take it to GA Review if I am wrong though. Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 17:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure you're right about anyone doing the listing or delisting. But where was the discussion leading up to your delisting Pan Am Flight 103?Phase4 23:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you missed my point - you can delist without having a review. From the WP:GA/R page:

If you find an article that you suspect should be delisted, but aren't certain, then you can ask other editors to review the situation by adding the article to the list below. Please check that you have logged in, notify the editors in the article's talk page that it is under review, and provide a link to the GA Review page before listing the article here.

I was certain that it is not GA quality. Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 18:20, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks, Veesicle: your certainty on its lack of GA quality is reassuring. Just for the record, please outline for my benefit and that of other WP editors which of the following GA criteria the Pan Am Flight 103 article currently fails to meet:

well written
factually accurate and verifiable
broad in its coverage
follows NPOV policy
stable
contains images to illustrate the topics

Armed with the information you provide, we will be able to edit the article back into the shape required for it to be GA-listed once again.Phase4 12:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be rude or anything by the way :) Again, feel free to take it to GA review if you object. However, my objections to it are:

It only has three inline citations, and yet a long list of sources. This is really important, articles of GA quality should be fully sourced and referenced with inline citations.

Some parts of it are not well written; the lead is confusing and it is not immediately clear what the article is about. It starts by saying what the plane was, rather than what happened to it. The information that makes the article notable really should be in the first sentence if possible.

Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 18:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I entirely agree with your first point. There are in fact 30 inline references but only three were correctly referenced. The other 27 are linked to the Sources section. I've now referenced those 27, thus correcting the fault. I'll have a look at the text to see how it can be improved.Phase4 12:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Ganja

Hi -- I see you reverted vandalism of an IP anon user:209.94.176.249 at the Ganja page, however, since he vandalized the page twice, you have still reverted to his version. He is banned now [1], but it would be good if you revert the page to NPOV version [2] that was there before 209.94.176.249 and another sock Zurbagan got involved. --AdilBaguirov 19:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh right, thanks, silly me :) Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 19:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject England

Hello! You have probably noticed that WikiProject England has been inactive recently and I and other members are working on making it active again and getting more members to join. I am kindly asking for your help tagging articles for class and importance using {{WPE}}, their are literally thousands of articles at Category:England and all of its sub-categories which urgently need tagging ad your help is needed! For more information about theses templates please see the Project Page and I hope you are enjoying being a member!! Telly addict 21:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Working on it now :) I created the category pages for the different classes and am in the process of assessing English cities. Veesicle (Talk) (Contribs) 22:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for creating the category! It was just one of the things on my list to update for this project, just recently I added about an extra 25 articles to the featured content section on the Project page (a little out of date lol). Anyway thanks for assessing and all the work you have done so far - it really is appreciated. Cheers!! Telly addict 16:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: village pump. I forgot to mention that when you're not using the script, you could press "off" or maybe "hide", which should get rid of the image problem, since nothing is being added to the page by script in those modes. –Outriggr § 03:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
