Caribbean Wikipedians

[edit]

Hi James. I just wanted to say hello. Looks like you have figured your way around Wikipedia pretty well. Glad to have you here. If you have any ideas for how to help develop the Caribbean Wikipedians board, I'd love to hear from you. All the best. Guettarda (Ian) 16:42, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was putting together this category and I realised that there are a lot of articles that were "batch translated" from Spanish earlier this month - and they are full of gibberish. I fixed some of the links, but the language only looks like English. If you could have a look at some of these you might be able to figure out what they are supposed to be saying. Thanks. Guettarda 14:44, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I'll work through them as and when time permits. Cheers! Vivenot 18:05, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you are talking about, could you please explain? – AxSkov (T) 18:08, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Axel, Sorry for the agressive sounding message - I don't mean to come across that way. I will delete the message on your User talk board - we can carry out this dialogue on my user talk page ok? I just want to clarify how we should set up these categories - I do want to help and I don't want to go contrary to agreed Wikipedia conventions. Most of the changes you have done make sense but I just want to clarify how we can best work together on these categories. One thing I disagree with for example is the text inviting all Caribbean Wikipedians to link to each island's category. Obviously there will be Wikipedians who will want to link to various categories if they have an interest in more than one category, e.g. I have linked to both UK and Saint Lucian categories. However to encourage all Caribbean users to link to each country's category surely defeats the object of categorisation. What do you think? Vivenot

OK, I understand, what I'm doing the the moment is trying to get all the pages up and running and putting as much relevant information onto them. Are you talking about the Notice Boards, because if you are then I will not object to you removing it from each Carribbean Island, or are you talking about the classification linking to the Caribbean Wikipedians? – AxSkov (T) 18:31, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed the work you've been doing on the categories and it looks great. I will definitely defer to your opinion on how they should be set up as you are an admin with considerably more experience in Wikipedia than I have. Besides I do not want to get into petty arguments on this collaborative effort and I don't want to get a reputation as a vandal!
I agree that there should be consistency in the format of the categories so if I set up any other country categories I will do them in the same format as you have done. Regarding the specific case of the Caribbean countries reference, I think that the text on the Caribbean Wikipedians should be left as it is, but on the subcategories (i.e. the individual Caribbean states)it should state that they are for people from or with an interest in that state but not the Caribbean in general which should be left to the overall Caribbean category. I haven't explained myself very well. Let me know if you get what I'm saying... Vivenot 20:15, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For You Help in Editing The St. Lucia Jazz Festival Article . Your Work in wikipedia is Greatly Acknowledged and I Thank For Your Work help .Your edit may be minor but thank you very much!--IDude 101 21:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

[edit]

Thanks for your kind comments. I am around, just trying to limit my participation so that I can get caught up with work - I got comments back on a manuscript (which needs a lot of work), and I have piles of job applications to get out. Add that to normal teaching, that I have an exam to give and Monday, and a (3.5 hour) class to cover for a colleague yesterday...it makes for far too busy a week. Guettarda 19:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal

[edit]

Before reporting vandals on WP:AIAV, make sure that the user has been warned using {{test}}, {{test2}} etc. Also, try to only list that editor when he is in the process of vandalising, not when he has finished. For example, the user you just listed —User:203.52.130.136—had vandalised the page about two days ago. OK? Keep up the good work though! Oran e (t) (c) (@) 17:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dyke

[edit]

Yeah, I was kind of lazy with my edit summary at Dyke. I should have wiki-linked to the exact page in the MoS: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Piping is mentioned there.--Commander Keane 12:52, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for leaving a message. I eventually found the guidance on piping in DAB pages so I reverted the revert that I had done in ignorance. Previously I didn't know about the policy on piping, so I suppose the good thing is that I've learnt something new about Wikipedia.--Vivenot 12:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

[edit]

Are you affiliated with St Paul's School or just an avid Countervandal ? I appreciate your cleaning up of all the vandalism on St Paul's-related pages.

Thanks for your comment - it's glad that someone appreciates this work! There appear to be some determined vandals at the moment. Who is this Alberto Santi character anyway?! --Vivenot 10:12, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know - where have you encountered them? I have to clean up after my classmates vandalising our school page but I've never met this Santi guy. I'll check it out. The Fish 18:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Usercats

[edit]

No, I never followed it up. But great for going ahead and making the change. Let me know if you get any opposition. Guettarda 13:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You should also drop User:IFaqeer a note (he's a Pakistani in Nigeria, IIRC) - he was the one who raised the point on my talk page. He isn't very active these days though. Guettarda 14:01, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I think that separate residence and origin cats are useful. We don't do it for subjects on articles. I think your ideas was correct. Guettarda 14:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edit[1] removing "world-class:" This site is well known as a world-class diving spot to divers. But I can agree with you that it shouldn't be there unless the label can be backed up by well-known sources and if others agree that it is ok to use the term. --Nikitchenko 19:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Frederick

[edit]

thank you for your work with the richard frederick article, thank you, i will be sure to turn his attention to it when i next see him, thank you.

Lucianotis 14:23, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yes, it is definite, he told me himself fool.

Excuse me, but there is no need to call me a fool! Do you have any evidence to back up your conversation?--Vivenot 12:39, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sport in the Caribbean

[edit]

I can't believe that they were all in "Sport in Central America" up until now. Big improvement! Guettarda 15:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I knew I could count on your support! I can't tell you how vexed I was when I saw these Caribbean pages lumped in with Central America. --Vivenot 15:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Caribbean is not a country. Could you please refrain from making controversial edits without explanation using "popups", whatever that is? Osomec 05:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vivenot

[edit]

It appears you reverted the info on ePewsey as you perceive it as advertising. Please take a look at the link - you'll see that it's a free local resource with a sister site/concept at http://www.thepactcentre.org.uk/. If you have tried to function without broadband access and tech support you'd realise that this CHARITY does a great job of enabling people of all ages in a rural community to connect with the world. ePewsey complies with what most people find good in Wiki - open access and giving back to the community.
Please, look at again and reinstate the useful info; t took me two months to find them as a resource having moved here from London. This part of Wiltshire needs more places like ePewsey and less censorship! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GidsR (talkcontribs) 12:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Mediation Cabal regarding Pewsey

[edit]

Thank you for your Mediation Cabal request. I have taken your case and will be serving as the mediator. I'm going to have a read through of all the material and post all discussion on the article talk, although if you have any specific queries feel free to add them on my talk page. I look forward to discussing the article with you. Jem 18:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning vandals

[edit]

Just so you know, when warning vandals it is necessary to subst the templates, both to reduce server load and to make sure the message is more permanent and looks less automated (with {{subst:test2|NAME OF ARTICLE}} rather than just {{test2|NAME OF ARTICLE}}). There is a gallery of warnings here. I have also left some resources below for your introduction to the Way of the Wiki. If you would like some vandal fighting tools (buttons to instantly revert pages to the last contributor, to show you the diffs since your last edit, to instantly show you the last diff, and to automatically warn vandals appropriately), feel free to copy the code from my monobook javascript into yours. Alternatively, go here and use the supplied ones. My personal choice is GodMode light, Navigation Popups and VoA's Non-admin Rollback script. Enjoy fighting those vandals, and consider joining the Counter-Vandalism Unit or Recent changes patrol. Feel free to ask me for any help you need, or just to answer a question. —Vanderdeckenξφ 20:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Lucia

[edit]

Well English and the English people in general have shaped it so as they use a Germanic language, and have many Germanic characteristics, if I am not mistaken it is also under "Caribbean Culture" as well?, so i think that gives it justification, since its a "blend" of cultures. -- Hrödberäht (gespräch) 16:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very tenuous justification which I doubt that other Caribbean Wikipedians will accept. --Vivenot 16:36, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Lucia - pronunciation

[edit]

I changed the IPA transcription you requested. Although it appears that several slightly varying pronunciations are used, "looshya" seems indeed to be the prevalent form. I suppose you would know as you've lived there... Cheers--Targeman 12:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

[edit]
Wikimedia UK logo
Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!

Season's Greetings

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

[edit]

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://twiki.riteme.site/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 00:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
