Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! Saw your question about the actor--I'm not sure what to do here either, but the place to go with questions is Wikipedia:Help desk. Good luck, and if there's anything else I can do, let me know on my talk page. Yours, Meelar 04:36, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

User:Roylee

Regarding Roylee, thanks for your response, and pretend nothing happened :-) He is just particularly troublesome to clean up after, and now edits from anon IPs. Wizzy…☎ 08:31, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Nobility stubs

Dear Robert: You may not be aware that it is possible (and desirable) to sub-categorize nobility stubs. May I take the liberty of drawing your attention to the following?:

Category:Nobility stubs From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. To add an article to this category, use {{Noble-stub}} instead of {{stub}}.

Please use a more specific template if possible:

British peer or noble, use {{UK-noble-stub}}

European nobility, use {{euro-noble-stub}}

French nobility, use {{France-noble-stub}}

Fijian nobility, use {{Ratu-stub}}

Royalty, use {{royal-stub}}

Best wishes, Staffelde 14:41, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: Roylee

Hi, Robert. I'm terribly sorry for getting back to you this late. This is concerning your clarification over at User talk:Mark Dingemanse/Roylee#rpyle731. I never meant to drag you into it; I merely noted that one of the edits made through an IP usually used by Roylee was to your userpage. I have now removed your userpage from the 'suspect edits' list, since I want to avoid conveying the impression that you have anything to do with this person. Please accept my apologies; you're obviously doing great work here. Enjoy the sunflower and keep it up! Kind regards, — mark ✎ 17:36, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Mark. Not a problem. --Rpyle731^talk 07:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Chantilly Forest

{{helpme}} I was trying to write a stub on a sub page of my User page, and goofed when trying to move it to article space. Instead of continuing to try fixing it further myself and completely snarling things, I did the wise thing and put in the template to request a page move. I hope that whoever fixes it can follow the spaghetti.

Robert N. Hall page

I would like to add information to the Wikipedia page for Robert N. Hall and I saw that you were the most recent editor. Robert N. Hall recently was featured in a series of interviews around the 50th anniversary of the Laser on the blog "Edison's Desk". He is a retiree of GE Global Research (retired in 1987) and Edison's Desk is the GE Global Research blog. I think that adding links to the YouTube videos of Robert N. Hall speaking and looking back on his accomplishments to the laser technology industry would be a useful add to his page.

Here is the initial YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B1P9ERCaxg

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is 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:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Waldemar de Brito

{{help}}I am trying to add a listas= clause to the WPBio on this subject's talk page. Not sure what the correct sorting would be. There is no DEFAULTSORT on the article, and other similar articles have varying sorts, either by the 'de' part, or by the Brito. Is there any consensus on this? On further reading, I think I have the answer, if I read correctly it would be sorted in the B's. You can leave a comment if you have further information.

Reading that same guideline I come up with "Brito, Waldemar De".--Commander Keane (talk) 05:34, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. That was the article I was working on, and I went ahead and added the Defaultsort, as well as the listas to the talk page. Rpyle731^talk 05:40, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Assessment

You have rated many articles without any references or sources as start class articles. Those articles falls into stub category. 'Start' class article should satisfy fundamental content policies such as notability and BLP, and provide enough sources to establish verifiability. --> Gggh ^talk/_contribs 20:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. Thanks for the heads up. Rpyle731^talk 20:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey doesn't assessing an article with AWB kindof defeat the point of assessment. When people assess articles, they get a chance to make minor changes on articles and make sure the article is categorized correctly according to the standard practice for their project. IMHO it is better to have the backlog (which I am aware is about 400,000 articles) than to just arbitrarily assess articles automatically with no indication that the article was assess through an automatic process. Sadads (talk) 08:09, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

My concern is more that you are missing opportunities to clean up articles, including proper formatting and categorization, by pushing through the unnassessed articles with AWB. Generally, I make at least 3 clean up edits or tags for certain quality issues for every 3-4 articles I assess (if not more). The use of the semi-automated editor lessons the time you spend actually interacting with the page, and thus the liklihood of being able to actual make these clean up edits (which help move pages through backlogs and into backlogs so that they get more eyes on them). Sadads (talk) 04:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Balingian

Hello Robert. I'm puzzled as to why you added {{coord missing|Malaysia}} to the Balingian article. Do you really want me to duplicate the coordinate data from the infobox into a separate coord statement? — Hebrides (talk) 06:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Babatunde Elegbede

I saw you rated this article as start class. I agree: it is a bit more than a stub but not a lot. I quite often start "Who's Who" entries like this giving a basic biographical outline of someone who has some level of notability. It seems to me that a subject may often deserve a cursory article that just gives the basic facts. Rating an article as "start" - or as "stub" for that matter - somehow implies that more should be added. Maybe there should be some sort of rating that implies "good enough". The article on a person, book, movie, place, whatever, gives adequate coverage given the relative importance of the subject. Thoughts? Aymatth2 (talk) 01:39, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

listas

FYI... the listas value for David McMullan is: listas=McMullan, David (not Macmullan).

Almost all the articles you did recently from the category "Biography articles without listas parameter" had serious problems from the same creating editor. Wrong birth dates, birthplaces, death dates and almost every Defaultsort... it is a mess. So, I've been trying to go thru them with a fine tooth comb. For new articles like these, I normally go thru them with a closer inspection, but these are in a whole new ballpark. Almost all the articles in the listas category are new articles, so best to keep a more watchful eye on these. Bgwhite (talk) 05:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh... the Biography banner is always the first banner. Bgwhite (talk) 05:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Double oh. NO spaces in listas or defaultsort. Should be: listas=Bowyer, Sam   Not listas= Bowyer, Sam or listas=Bowyer , Sam or listas=Bowyer,Sam

Mediawiki software uses the space (or lack of one) as a sortvalue. Bowyer,Sam will be the first Bowyer listed because the software thinks that is one word. listas=Bowyer , Sam will be the last Bowyer listed because the software uses the space as a letter. Bowyer,Sam problem is rampant in Asian names for some reason. Bgwhite (talk) 05:43, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the Mc... listas error. I missed that Wikipedia had changed how those were handled. Thanks for the information. Rpyle731^talk 05:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Bugging you again

I haven't bugged you in a while, so hey, might as well give you a hard time. At least I'm not my wife... her definition of giving me a hard time is knocks with a "hard" baseball bat for a period of "time".

I've noticed you have been giving singers or composers a&e-work-group. They should have musician-work-group. Sometimes it is difficult because they maybe in more than one area. If their primary area is music, then go with the musician-work-group. I don't think it was you, but somebody else, that was using a&e instead of filmbio.

I keep seeing you name plastered in article's history, so keep up the good work. Bgwhite (talk) 05:29, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

AWB request

I note that some time ago you did some assessment of California redirect talk pages as redirects, e.g. Talk:Interstate 880 (Sacramento, California). Could you set up AWB to go through my contributions from 17 November 2012 and mark as redirect all the talk pages of redirects that I edited today? This would involve pages such as Talk:Gale Ranch middle school, Talk:Will Rogers Middle School (Lawndale), and Talk:Gonsalves Elementary School, which are currently marked as stubs. Nyttend (talk) 12:34, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

I would be glad to help, but it has been some time since I used AWB, and I was never an expert when I did use it. I'm not sure I would be able to make AWB do what you want it to. I can look into it further, and maybe I could cobble something together. A more proficient editor might be able to help you better. Rpyle731^talk 01:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
