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)

Reviewer granted

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 revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. 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.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

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 (talkcontribs) 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)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage! RA0808 (talk) 02:15, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

I made a good edit on the Casey Atwood page. I'ma be a good boy nao, kk? Thanx. Love me I'm Stan (talk) 07:54, 25 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)
Thanks. Guoguo12--Talk--  16:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
