{{helpme|How to bypass camino's cache? (Camino web browser)}} ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 17:22, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't know that browser, but... according to a 10-second Google [1], Holding down the Shift key while clicking the refresh button (marked as Reload in the menu) or accessing the control-click menu (often the right-click menu) allows you to perform a hard refresh using Camino.[2]

You could also try putting ?action=purge on the end of the URL - such as, for example, http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Main_Page?action=purge (see Wikipedia:Purge)

If that helps, you can use a "gadget" in preferences to show either a 'purge' link, or a clock at the top-right which, when clicked, does a 'purge';

• "User interface gadgets"

• Add a "Purge" tab to the top of the page, which purges the page's cache when followed.
• Add a clock in the personal toolbar that displays the current time in UTC (which also provides a link to purge the current page).

Template:Help me

I have reverted your change to this template (and related documentation/subtemplates). The parameters, etc., that you introduced alter how the template has worked (reasonably well) for quite sometime, and consensus should be established before implementing such drastic changes. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:18, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Salad

Physics is all gnomes has given you a salad! Salads promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the goodness of salads by tossing one for someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!

Nice work on round 2, you're making great progress. I thought I should give you something healthy for a change :P

Spread the goodness of salad by adding {{subst:Givesalad}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

I love salads! I'm also a vegetarian. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 19:38, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Lucky I didn't choose the burger then! I just noticed your userpage says you speak french - are you from France? Je parle un peu de français, c'est une belle langue :) --Physics is all gnomes (talk) 19:41, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Non, je viens du Canada. Maintenant, il y a de moins en moins. (No, I come from Canada. Now, I see that there is less french people in Canada) ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 19:43, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

BLP flag changes

I'm not getting the rationale for your changes tonight (Hugh Bell, Jerome Badini), both of which continue to look like unreferenced BLPs to me? AllyD (talk) 21:25, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Well for Hugh Bell, there is 1 source, and for Jerome Badini has 2. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 21:31, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, if you disagree, you can always revert it. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 21:32, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

• Well, it was more that they're sourced only to the subjects' own sites/Myspace. While these are not likely to contain anything contentious about the people, they're not really reliable sources. AllyD (talk) 22:17, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heir to the Ottoman dynasty

Hi, Wikipedia:NAC would you please revert your closure of this AFD as it has been complicated and is not really the correct situation for a non admin closure, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 11:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

You may alway revert my edits. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 11:26, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Done. Actually, as a non admin closing in disputed circumstances you should self rather self revert the closure yourself but no worries I have reverted your closure anyways.Off2riorob (talk) 11:30, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

• note - AFD closing, I have glanced at a couple of your other closures, and they are not being correctly closed, I reopened this afd Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Everydevil - you closed it as delete, this is not a recommended action for a non administrator. Also if you want to close as keep or redirect or merge, then you also have to remove the afd template from the article page and add the oldafd template and result to the talkpage - as we don't have massive backlogs in this area there is no requirement for non admins to close any discussions that outcome in delete, regards.

What was this about? Ironholds (talk) 16:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Relisting

Hi there, I've seen you relisting some AfD discussions and noted that, at least once, you relisted for a third time without providing a reason. Please note, from WP:RELIST, "Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation on why they did not consider the debate sufficient". In general, admins only relist for a third time when the subject is a BLP that has received very little discussion. No harm done really, just thought you would like to know.

Data Management Inc. Wiki

Thank you for reviewing my article. There will be a second article submitted soon that includes more detail on the products and services offered by Data Management, Inc. If approved and posted, I will link the two articles, and that should hopefully expand on the Data Management, Inc.

I have three questions for you when you have some time.

1. I did a search on Wikipedia for Data Management Inc. but I could not find the article. Is there a place where I can enter keywords that will flag this article when those words are searched?

That doesn't exist yet but you may propose it here.

2. I would like to place the image of DMI headquarters at the bottom of the info bar instead of the top. I tried placing the code at the end of the info bar code, but was unsuccessful. It still appears at the top, so I'm assuming there is a tag that can accomplish this. I would like to have the company's logo at the top of the info box and the company's headquarters at the bottom. Do you know what that tag would be? I didn't have any luck finding it on the info box article unless it's there and I just didn't catch it.

Remove it from the infobar and put it right under it.

Put it like this. [[File:Datamanagement.jpg|200px|Data Management, Inc. in San Angelo, Texas, United States|alt=Data Management]]

3. I noticed you rated the Data Management, Inc. article as a C-Class article. Perhaps the second article (coming soon) will help raise the rating. Can you elaborate on what parts need more explanation? I really want this to be an A article, so whatever is lacking, I'll research it, and provide more information. Any specific pointers you have would be much appreciated.

You may check the Assesement page of wikipedia to find out how (here). ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 19:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Ebe123! --Dmarkwilliams (talk) 13:48, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

It's here. (note: It is at proposed deletion.) ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:08, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ebe123, I noticed the notice for deletion. Two questions: 1. I'm very new to wiki so I don't understand. It was approved by you, but later objected by another reviewer. Do articles get approved, but get reviewed by several people after the fact? 2. I am putting together more information and sources before I present my case to save this wiki. Could it be deleted before the 7 days that are mentioned in the notice? --Dmarkwilliams (talk) 19:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Anyone on wikipedia can review articles, and edit it, can also mark it for deletion. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 19:21, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

2. It may be deleted but it is highly likely that it will not. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 19:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. Also I read on my page that: "You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the (proposed deletion/dated) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page." Do I need to do this? Remove that from the wiki article's code and later present my case or remove it later when my case is ready. --Dmarkwilliams (talk) 19:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

You may but you shouldn't. You may say why you do not want it to be deleted on the talk page, and wait for another user to review the request. You may also ask for a discussion by replacing (proposed deletion/dated) to Afd, and start the disscution. The easiest thing to do is just put more references, and then remove the (proposed deletion/dated) tag. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 19:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

CSD U1

Done as you requested. Cheers, Spencer^T♦C 21:55, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Cool, I'll try it soon (really should go to bed now)! Round 3 is up by the way. --Physics is all gnomes (talk) 00:19, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Your own featured media program

Re this, you can remove them or I will, but you can't just create your own category and add it to pictures/whatever that you think is cool. If you want to make a page with images or links to whatever you like, that is fine. Creating a category and adding it is not a proper use of the category namespace.--Terrillja _talk 01:33, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ebe. I've removed the category tags from the individual images. This was a really bad idea and I suggest requesting the deletion of the category through {{db-g7}}. Pichpich (talk) 06:17, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Portail:Bolivie

S.V.P. viens ici et a cause que tu sais beaucoup d'anglais, viens aider avec le portail de la bolivie en anglais. Ebe123 (d) 23 avril 2011 à 20:06 (CEST)

Hi !

What is the problem exactly ? What do you want to do that you can not ?

Please, answer in my french talk page as I am not often on english Wikipedia.

Dr Brains (talk) 18:16, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, it is that the Bolivia Portal has lots that can be done, so I really wanted you to edit it to make it better. You do not have to do it though. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:26, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, but I don't understand what you want. First you say that "you wish I edit it", and after you say that "I mustn't edit it". So... what ?

It would probably be better if you talk in english...

I've seen your question, but you put it in the vote page. If someone haven't done it already, I will probably move it in the talk page, and answer when I could.

⇨ D^r Brains ^{∞ Consultation ∞} 23 avril 2011 à 20:55 (CEST)

Oh, OK. I've seen your (english) talk page and you may have forgotten some words in mine, as I did not understand. English would be far better to discuss...

So, can you explain exactly what lots you want to modify or add in the bolivian portal ?

Dr Brains (talk) 18:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Someone has already moved it to the talk page.

Well, you are more experienced than me at wikipedia, and it is just that you could make it better. I saw what you did on the Bolivia Portal on french. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 19:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I've made some few changes on the portal :

• radomized the "Did you know" part. May be a few additionnal sentences will be necessary, for example to have two or three sentences at the same time.
• reorganized the "Intro" part, using a table.
• modified the "Other portals" part. The imagemap tag is not necessary as you can use images with a "link=" parameter
• moved the "Navigation" part off the "intro" part. This is the major part of the portal, so it should be more complete. The navbox is a good beginning but I think this part should contain far more links. You can do it by copying the french one as an example.

If you have any question or problem, you know where to find me...

Sufficiating

I've taken the liberty of changing your G2 CSD request to {{db-self}}. The article creation was an artifact of the original article being speedily deleted as I was nominating it for AFD. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 20:23, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Technically, if you don't mind my butting in, that page was eligible for speedy deletion per G6 as a page created by mistake (or per G7, if tagged by the page creator). Cheers. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 20:49, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

BLP-prodding articles that aren't about people

Hi Ebe123 - I don't know if you check the article history when you add prod notices, but you added a BLP prod to Chhatra Sangram, an article that's not about a person. Fair enough, it's not in perfect English, and you may have misunderstood, but the prod notice was removed with the edit summary "not about a person", and then you added the BLP prod again. I'm not sure how you found the article a second time, but perhaps checking the article history would stop that sort of thing happening again (and the new editor receiving two unnecessary prod warnings). --BelovedFreak 22:08, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Help

Q. How to get User:Wikinews Importer Bot to update the in the news section in Portal:Bolivia. I tried but I couldn't finish. Please help me. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 12:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

A.

Which page have you tried to put it on? --BelovedFreak 13:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I just found it, I'll have a look.--BelovedFreak 13:09, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

When you say you couldn't finish - did you follow the instructions at User:Wikinews Importer Bot? Do you just want someone to do it for you? I'm happy to, I'm just not sure what you want... --BelovedFreak 13:11, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

I just cannot do it. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 13:13, 25 April 2011 (UTC) If you want, could you do it for me? (Only if you want to) ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 13:14, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm... for some reason Wikinews won't let me create the relevant page there, I get this error message. I've not had a problem with this before (eg. [4]) so I don't know if they've changed how they do things. I'll try to find out.--BelovedFreak 13:19, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

I got that too. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 13:21, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I've asked at Wikinews, hopefully someone there will be able to help. It may be that we'll just have to ask a Wikinews admin to create the page.--BelovedFreak 13:28, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Someone kindly created the relevant page for me at Wikinews (still don't know why it wouldn't work for me) and I've sorted it out at the portal. I've archived the old stuff in <noinclude> tags and it should be updated soon. Hope that's ok. Let me know if you want to make changes but get stuck. --BelovedFreak 14:02, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ebe123! I'm a new user trying to update my own article on myself (I'm a musician from Sweden). Sorry if I'm totally out in the blue regarding the written and un-written rules here on Wikipedia. I need to add another source so my article won't be deleted. I've tried to get it, but I don't!

Non-breaking spaces at the Simpsons Portal

Hi Ebe123, I noticed your change to Portal:The Simpsons/Features. Actually, it does have a slight visible change. The non-breaking spaces are there to prevent the "•"s (are they called anything special?) from wrapping onto the next line and floating on their own at different monitor sizes, which looks a bit odd. The space keeps them attached to the previous link. It's not a huge deal at all, but something I've seen on lots of these sorts of portal boxes, just to keep it tidy. I won't revert, it's up to you to if you want to, but as that portal is featured, it's probably best to keep the style neat and tidy, even if it takes up a few extra kb. --BelovedFreak 09:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Poet_and_great_astrologer_Edakkad_kukaniyal_(Sankaran_kaniyar)

Hi, I'm curious about your addition of G7 to Poet_and_great_astrologer_Edakkad_kukaniyal_(Sankaran_kaniyar), since I was not the person who started the "article". Someone else did, but put it on the talk page instead of the article page. That someone is a POV-pushing sock, but I guess that is by the by! - Sitush (talk) 18:08, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Well because that there is nothing but the CSD template on the page, it does qualify as G7 because that the autho(u)r put nothing. Well, that is what I think. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:10, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Nope, I think not. I am not the author & therefore cannot request deletion as the author, if you see what I mean. The article was started by someone else, and the CSD template specifically warns the patrolling admin to check the talk page because of content being there. - Sitush (talk) 18:12, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I never said that you are the author. It is someone else, but that author with Good faith requested deletion by blanking the page exempt the CSD tag. Then another person put the CSD tag as G7. That is okay to do. (Revised 18:55, 30 April 2011 (UTC)) ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:19, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

WP:SNOW

At WP:VPPR#New Page Patrolling, you closed the thread per WP:SNOW. I count, including yours, three opposes and less than 48 hours of discussion. Please note three things:

• WP:SNOW is when there is not a snowball's chance in hell" of passing. Certainly not three opposes, as stifling useful discussion is detrimental to developing proposals.
• You should almost never close a discussion in which you were involved. There's going to be some sort of bias there, usually.
• There is no deadline. Discussions can stay open for more than a day and a half. In fact, serious discussions should stay open for some time, because who knows how many good ideas you may have shut out by closing that thread.

Please keep these things in mind. Regards, /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 18:53, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I was actually waiting for a message for that! Thanks for the advice. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

When using AWB...

... please be careful. I undid your edit to McLeod County, Minnesota because it removed many wikilinks that were meant to be there. Duplicates aren't always bad, especially not on a page about a specific county that includes a list of cities (lake section is overkill though). – anna 13:18, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Chem

I think that Chem project would like you to lay off "helping" these articles. Or at least explain your plans at our project page.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:06, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

While some fraction of your edits seem helpful, many of them are removing relevant wikilinks. Can you please tell us what you were hoping to do? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 18:58, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

I wanted that the same wikilinks, without extra text gets 1 removed if a duplicate. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 22:17, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Again, please stop ...

We are sure that you must be well-intentioned, but your continued work on chemistry pages is unwelcome, requiring cleanup or revert work by others. Also, when editors register a concern on your talk page, you are kinda expected to respond.--Smokefoot (talk) 22:13, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

What exacly do you mean by chemistry pages? Making pages or removing links? I am tring to be more careful, but I could stop. I will stop. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 22:15, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Please go over your edits again, and rollback changes where all you did were remove wikilinks. Yes, others could do it, but it's not right for you to blindly use a semi-automated tool and run through hundreds of them and leave others to clean up after you. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 23:54, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Please also note that if your edit summary says "Typo fixing, clean-up using AWB", then it should be doing that and that only. Not this. Pichpich (talk) 01:08, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Seconded

Your mess at the iPad 2 article was completely unhelpful. The links in the intro are the most important of the whole article. WP:OVERLINK does not limit to 1 link per outside article, and infoboxes are generally treated the same as tables, where every line is linked as people will tend to skip through to parts that intertest them, unlike in prose where sections are generally read.--Terrillja _talk 22:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

In short, I do suggest you stop using AWB the way you use it: your recent AWB edits were either reverted or were saving negligible changes at a high rate, spamming watchlists ([5] example). Those which were reverted were either removing useful wikilinks (a few examples out of many dozens [6] [7] [8]) or just breaking the code [9]. You've made helpful manual contributions, and it would be better if you continue that way. You can always run an article through AWB, copy the output and manually insert the code (together with anything extra). This would allow both to use AWB for routine changes and preview and modify your edit. Materialscientist (talk) 10:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Didn't I say that I would stop using it that way, and I did stop. I am using it for another thing. I am only using it for typos and wikifying. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:15, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

I think what Materialscientist is saying (and I side with him) is that you should consider not using AWB period. It's making you careless. On top of the above problems, consider this edit. Had you taken the time to skim through the article or look at its history, it would have struck you as particularly strange that there were no categories on an article that's been around since 2002 and is rated as B-class. It would have been easy then to revert the recent vandalism responsible for this. The same is true here, here, here and here, all of which had to be reverted by other editors. Note that these are the ones I checked and they were not hard to find since all these edits were made between 22:55 and 23:03. I suggest you go back and inspect all your AWB "tag as uncategorised" edits and perhaps all your AWB edits that haven't yet been reverted by somebody else. A number of editors have asked you to slow down and be more careful even before you started using AWB. It would be wise to listen and at the very least stop using AWB for now. Pichpich (talk) 18:40, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

WP:BLPPROD vs. WP:CSD

Hello... on a whim, after you posted on my talk page, I checked your recent contributions and noticed that you recently tagged these articles with {{blpprod}}, but all clearly qualify as {{db-bio}} due to lack of any claim of importance:

• Diego pedraza was about a "game creator" who, per the infobox, was 10 years old.
• Karthik kanna merely stated that the subject was a software professional.
• Molly Quigley contains biographical data but nothing else. "Profession- Figure skater" is not a claim of importance.

While it's fine to err on the side of caution, having to go back and repatrol such obvious cases of unencyclopedic or vanity articles isn't particular efficient. Thanks. --Kinu ^t/_c 22:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Tagging of History of Calculus in India

I see you tagged History of Calculus in India as A1 (no context), but context is clear enough: an article about the history of calculus in India. The proper criteria is A3 (empty article) and I have tagged the article as such. Yoenit (talk) 22:32, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I also, shouldn't of CSDed it because that it was just made. Just a couple minutes. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 22:37, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Discussion isn't done?

I'm a bit confused, the discussion at Wikipedia:MediaWiki messages#Graphical preview note does seem to be done, it hasn't been edited in a week.

Hitting my talk page

About this. First, read WP:DTTR. Second, I don't give one flying fucking shit about biting or not biting editors, when they've spammed 12 oncology articles. Of course, if you had spent a nanosecond determining whether I was a regular, you would have noticed that dropping a template on my talk page isn't going to be taken well. You can apologize. Or not. Don't really give two shits. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 06:10, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Actualy, I spent like 10 minutes to determinate it. Sorry but I will be reporting you. WP:WQA. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:44, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Ebe, I would now very much like to take you up on your offer to start a WQA on my behalf. What do I need to provide you in order to facilitate this?67.127.100.144 (talk) 06:15, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for making the etiquette alert. I made a clarification there. I hope I have not overstepped my bounds as new editor or what is supposed to be done by involved editors.67.127.100.144 (talk) 20:42, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

I saw. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 20:46, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

What does this mean? From WQA: "Please provide diffs of OM being incivil the IP editor." 67.127.100.144 (talk) 21:21, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

It is "Please provide diffs of OrangeMarlin being incivil to you.". Could you do that? --~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 21:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

What are "diffs"? Examples? 67.127.100.144 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:57, 10 May 2011 (UTC).

Diffs are a page that show what a person added or removed. Example: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AEbe123&action=historysubmit&diff=428486651&oldid=428481793 . (Your edit). You can get them at the page history. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 22:00, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

AWB

Hello Ebe123. I notice that some editors have been complaining about your use of AWB. Please consider getting advice from an experienced user. See the comments at #When using AWB..., #Chem and #Again, please stop .... Permission to use AWB is granted to those who seem like they can use it correctly. Anyone who uses AWB is probably hoping to make good contributions to Wikipedia, so I sympathize with your zeal. A pause in your usage might be considered until you get more Wikipedia experience. In the above threads I don't see any response from you showing that you recognize the problem. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 22:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Moving subpages in other editors' userspaces

I would advise not moving subpages in other editors' userspaces, as you did here. This is highly inappropriate and disruptive. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

I also noticed you tagging [10] userspace articles. It's probably best not to do that as you might annoy the editor whose userspace it is, and it's also unnecessary. The other problem is that adding maintenance tags will inappropriately put the article into a mainspace cleanup category. Here, you added Category:Lebanon to a userspace draft. I understand that it had been tagged with "uncategorised", but then it had been userfied, so shouldn't have mainspace categories added. I sense that you may be feeling a bit "got at" lately (I noticed you "left" WP briefly), so I hope you take this as the constructive advice it's intended to be, and not just me having a go at you. We all make mistakes, (I've certainly made lots) but try to slow down a bit when you start doing new things.--BelovedFreak 08:52, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for all, I didn't know all that. I thought that it should of been done. Also, I do know of LOTS of userspace articles with mainspace categories. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:20, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Well they shouldn't have, not usually anyway, I may be missing some reason for it, but it's generally unhelpful for readers to be looking through categories (which are for article navigation) and stumbling on user space articles, which haven't been "vetted" as it were. Not everyone realises that, and it's easy to forget not to add categories if you start a draft in your userspace (I know I have). Also, when articles get userfied, like the one mentioned above, categories don't always get removed. Anyway, it's just best to stay out of userpages unless there's a policy/guideline reason, or unless you're invited / collaborating with someone in their userspace. People can get a bit annoyed otherwise! --BelovedFreak 18:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Quick tip: when you find userspace working drafts that are already in content categories, one option is to comment out the categories. In other words, add <!-- just before and --> just after the categories. (Equivalently, you could use nowiki or add a colon on each category if you see what I mean.) It's a better option than just removing them since it's still easy for the editor to view the categories when he's editing and to retrieve them when the content is moved to mainspace. Established editors will know exactly what you're doing but for newbies you can just write a detailed edit summary. Not that I claim to have the perfect solution but I usually use something like comment out the categories while this is in user space. Simply remove the <!-- and --> when this is moved to article space.. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 20:39, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

How about Putting [[:Category:___ instead of [[Category:___]]? ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 22:44, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

That's what I meant by "adding a colon to each category" (I'll concede it wasn't exactly clear). The downside is that it's more tedious to do (since I do it manually) and more tedious to undo (not fun for newbies). Pichpich (talk) 02:54, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hi, just for future reference, although you were half right with "this edit" (it's not a noun), in English demonyms like Indian have capital letters. Not all languages do this, but it's mentioned at capitalization, if you're interested. --BelovedFreak 22:08, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

GAN template edits

Your edit to the GAN template kinda messied the WP:GAN page a bit by adding random "note" symbols to a lot of the nominations. Just thought I'd ask you to be a little more careful. :P --Starstriker7^(Talk) 03:23, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Orangemarlin Wikiquette Alert

Hi, I stopped by the page in question a few days ago and decided to contribute as I can totally identify with a newcomer who is yanked around by an experienced user who can cite "The Law" like they had memorized the bible or something. I am not familiar with every single detail of WP policies and I'm tired of obscure paragraphs of it being quoted at me with the implied threat that they might be consequence if I don't shut up. And the worst is that there can be consequences, because this users are usually administrators or work very closely with some of them. So I'm here to beg you to go back to this page and keep going with the complaint as this attitude by some experienced editors damages Wikipedia (did you see the report that said we are losing way too many new users?). I think it's time "experienced editors" receive a spoonful of their own medicine. Asinthior ^(talk) 12:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, I did see the report, and I do know that it is about violations of WP:BITE. When a person violates that it makes less newcomers. I am going to suggest that there could be a consequence for severe violations of that policy. Who is that experienced editor? It may help to discuss it on his talk page. You may also talk about this to your mentor. I know that he is very better than me at wikipedia. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 18:07, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, on the one hand I meant any experienced user, as a few interactions I've had with them have been less than productive and surely not pleasurable. I'll mention this to my mentor, see what he thinks. Asinthior ^(talk) 22:59, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Edits at SPI

Hi there Ebe123,
Thank you for your recent efforts to help out at WP:SPI. Some of your recent edits there have unfortunately been somewhat less than helpful, and are creating more problems than they're solving. I fully appreciate that this is not your intent, so please don't take my following remarks personally; they are purely comments on your editing (at SPI). There are several issues I have noticed recently, some of which are detailed below:
Firstly, your removal of the (suspected) sockmasters from suspected sock lists. This is in no way wrong per se, however, it is not particularly necessary. Indeed, once a case is archived, having the master listed can allow greater ease of access on longer archive pages. Furthermore to this, if you're going to make mistakes like this when removing the user then your edits are only likely to cause confusion.
Moving on, your recent change the Template:SPI report without any proper prior discussion was very out-of-process. The change itself implemented a feature to all new cases that was not a) fully tested, nor b) working, and as you're aware it was later removed and is now currently under discussion.
Thirdly, the templates that you are using to leave short messages on SPI case pages are including the category Category:SPI templates onto all pages on which you are placing them.
Fourthly and most seriously, your recent edits to cases stating that CU will not link to IPs are not acceptable (e.g. [11] & [12]). Only checkusers and clerks may deny SPI cases; your speaking as though with authority on the matter leaves users confused (e.g. [13]). This is especially of concern when what you state is also incorrect; checkusers can and sometimes do link accounts to IPs, indeed there are specific cases outlined within the privacy policy that allow for them to do so. Clerks and checkusers are trained to identify these cases, and approve/check accordingly; that's what we're here for. We don't need a user editing cases to remind us that we have to be careful about linking IPs to users, and we certainly don't need a user editing cases telling us that we can't link IPs to users.
Given the issues that have been caused so far (including and extending beyond those mentioned above), I would suggest that it would be advisable for you to step back from editing at SPI, at least until such a time as you are capable of doing so without causing issues, and preferably until such a time as your editing there will benefit investigations.
Kind regards, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 23:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, Ebe123. I wouldn't allow the above message to effect your overall usage/editing of wikipedia. SPI is a very unique area, and users generally don't start editing there without prior experience with socks. You rather dove in at the deep end, which is why these problems have arisen. I recommend that you continue to enjoy focusing on other areas of wikipedia, and don't allow the issues that have been caused at SPI to impede upon your ability to have a good time editing here. Best wishes, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 11:23, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

I am just semi-active here for now because that I have things to do at strategy. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 12:08, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

iPad 2: Not again....

The AfD you commented on was old, before the release. After the release, the article was unprotected and created. After a month, iPad 2 had no significant content not present in other articles. It was decided to redirect to iPad once again. The policy rationale is that a notable subject is not guaranteed an article (see WP:GNG, final bullet). The less formal rationale is that it's more beneficial to the reader to have everything in one place than the same thing twice. If you think you can add significant new content, you are welcome to copy the last version into a sandbox. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 15:29, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Edits @ Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations and cases

Hello Ebe123, As the above section by User:Spitfire states, your edits to WP:SPI and cases are disrupting the process. You are restricted from the following actions on SPI case pages:

1. Removal of Suspected Sockpuppets
2. Editing SPI Templates without obtaining consensus from clerks
3. Using SPI Templates except the main one to file a case
4. Endorsing or Declining, or as noted by Spitfire above, noting about identification to IP addresses and Check users, on SPI cases.
5. "Confirming" or acting like a checkuser to link accounts or IP addresses.

Thanks for your understanding. -- DQ (t) (e) 02:50, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Talkpage guidelines

Hi there Ebe123, I'm glad to see you're not fully retiring. :) On the theme of Talk page guidelines#Others' comments, if you want to add a helpful link to what someone else's written, like here, it's probably best to add a short comment of your own with the link, rather than inserting it into someone else's comment. Correcting other people's spelling on non-mainspace pages is not really considered the "thing to do", especially when the original ("realise") is actually a correct form of the word. On the surface, your edit didn't change much, but making edits like that may have the effect of annoying other editors whose comments you're changing. --BelovedFreak 23:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I removed your speedy nomination from this article because the band (as well as several of its members) has its own article, a criterion expressly excluding it from eligibility for A9.

Requesting an article proposal

My name is Mike, and I found you on the Wikipedia Adopter page. I know absolutely jack about Wikipedia, and I was hoping you could help me.

I am an American currently living in Seoul, South Korea. I'm also the lone foreigner/English native speaker. I recently started a new job working for a company called Unichal. Among other things, they have a device called the 1-Click Dictionary DIXAU. (DIXAU is short for Dictionary Automation). You can take this device over a book you are reading, it will quickly take an image of the word, then populate it in the device. Instant translation or instant defintion.

Could you write an article about Unichal as a company? I have been reading all about Wikipedia today and learned that as an employee, it's bad for to write about my own company and someone else should do it on my behalf, or the article will be deleted.

Please advise,

Actually, it would not be deleted if there are reliable references. Also, the best way would to request it at WP:RA.

Sorry for making undiscussed changes. The existing template was entirely the work of one user, and there was no discussion, so it didn't seem like there was that much interest. I figured it would be easier to make the change and then see if anyone complained than try to stir up discussion.
