Irn-Bru

[edit]

Strange as it no doubt seems, but it would appear that 86.148.159.102 (talk · contribs)'s edit to Irn-Bru (here), in which he adds that one of the brand's slogans was "Cheer up Goth. Have an Irn Bru", is infact correct, per this BBC News story (a picture of the ad is here). I believe they also ran TV ads at the same time which showed a group of stereotypical goths doing uncharacteristically cheery things like riding on roller coasters. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 13:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

London Buses route 7

[edit]

I am not sure why you identified edits by 219.79.11.25 (talk · contribs) to London Buses route 7 (here) as vandalism? They were perfectly valid, in my opinion, adding to the article and not taking anything away. Denham331 10:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, that was an error on my part.--Voxpuppet 14:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

May be you have to be bit more careful while reverting if you are using automated tools with this account. Gnanapiti 01:55, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AAARRRGGGHHH!!! It seems two of us reverted simultaneously - the edit previous to mine hadn't appeared when I told it to revert! Sorry. - Voxpuppet 01:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Some disturbance in time space continuum, that's all it is. Gnanapiti 02:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never Mind!

[edit]

Hi, You just vandalized my work on the Freddie Mercury site. Your offense: Carelessly erasing my attempts to improve the citations. As I had already made about 10 edits upon seeing this, I cannot fix the situation by simply reverting the article. I expect you to fix your mistake. 138.67.44.175 04:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Never mind. I realize that you reverted it again in a responsible way. You have to understand that I recently had some issues with a moron user named Trusilver who wasted huge amounts of my time. Maybe you know him?138.67.44.175 04:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you don't mind, but I reverted your removal of a submission at WP:AFC. The submission wasn't done correctly, but it still had no objectionable content, and so I simply closed it as a non-notable bio submission. Hope that's okay! ArielGold 15:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely an article like that would have {{db-bio}} on it, but at AfC, they aren't removed, they are just closed as non notable. Rarely are submissions entirely removed. Attacks inside a submission is removed, then it is closed stating "Attack removed". Blank submissions are closed as blank, copyvio issues are removed, then closed as cv, etc. And I hope you're not offended if you know all this already. ArielGold 15:32, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Re: Your sig, do you have it placed into "my preferences" up top, so you don't have to type it (or paste) each time? ArielGold 15:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that is a humorous add-on you can install into Firefox, to get it to display a bunch of wild, kooky names instead of "Firefox". Purely entertainment but still funny, lol. ArielGold 15:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warnings

[edit]

Please, do not revert vandalism without warning the editor that you reverted. Reverting vandalism is not as important as letting the editor know why you reverted. — Moe ε 16:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to Improve it

Militia Riders

[edit]

I am sorry but I fail to see why articles like Biker Dogs (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Biker_Dogs_Motorcycle_Club) and others like legion riders (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/American_Legion_Riders) are allowed in terms of notibility and the Militia Rider's charity efforts in Bikers with a Heart with MDAS is not.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PotHole (talkcontribs) 08:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging B5 (band) with db-band

[edit]

If this was just an error, consider slowing down on tagging. If not an error, please better familiarize yourself with WP:CSD#A7, which requires a mere assertion of importance. While there are articles that fall into a grey area as to whether they have asserted importance, this article is not even close.--Fuhghettaboutit 13:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Got ya. It may be some sort of caching issue. Obviously, I couldn't have known you were seeing a prior version.--Fuhghettaboutit 13:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BAH

[edit]

I'd be really sad if it was closed down. If someone was willing to identify some priorities for the project, then I would work on them in spare moments. I'm going to be editing really sporadically in the next couple of months though. And my problem with this project has always been knowing where exactly to start. Thanks for your concern and involvement. Itsmejudith 22:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More BAH

[edit]

Hi Richard; I concur. With a bit of luck, having completed the Crawley rewrite that has taken me quite a while, I will have more opportunities to concentrate on B&H articles in the near future (including the churches, of course!). We definitely need more focus, anyway. A good place to start would be trying to improve the core article itself from its current "Start" class towards Good Article and eventually Featured-article status. As I did with Crawley, I'm willing to create a user subpage with an indicative structure based on the guidelines within WP:UKCITIES. Anyway, on the original question ... yes, we should try to reinvigorate and expand the scope of the project. Cheers, Hassocks5489 11:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

speedy delete requests of radio stations

[edit]

Before tagging any more radio stations for speedy delete, please refer to WP:WPRS--Rtphokie 01:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I agree. Radio stations are inherently notable enough to avoid *speedy* deletion. NawlinWiki 01:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I failed to consider or note User:J Milburn personal religious beliefs when I made my post.

RE:Ig(g)or Cavalera

[edit]

Good day! It is simple. Iggor is not his name. --  LYKANTROP  19:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All encyclopedias etc. (= all sources) refer about him as Igor. He has "Igor" it in his passport. Unless you can provide a source that he has renamed himself, there is no reason of changing his name on wikipedia.--  LYKANTROP  17:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ig(g)or Cavalera - spelling?

[edit]

I've offered my thoughts on the article talk page. I recommend now that you contact people involved (the people you have seen changing the name) and discuss the matter there- if the discussion doesn't come to a conclusion, try a request for comment. Shouldn't be any problems, but, if there are, don't hesitate to contact me. J Milburn (talk) 12:06, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Dave Grohl

[edit]

1) How is Mike Watt a notable associated act of Dave Grohl? 2) Do you have a source for those instruments that he uses? 3) Do you have a source for Grohl playing hardcore punk a lot of the time? ScarianCall me Pat! 12:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, scratch the Mike Watt thing then. And we can actually put sources into infoboxes, nothing wrong with that. I'd prefer it if you cited all the notable instruments and the genre please. Is that okay? ScarianCall me Pat! 13:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Academic journals

[edit]

Congrats on being a quick and diligent worker. Thanks for this vital contribution to Wiki. :-D

Journals are reliable sources of the very best kind. Wikipedia depends on them in many articles. Academic journals are intrinsically notable. There is a WikiProject devoted to them.

Thanks for your quick work defending Wiki from disgusting advertising. However, in this case, we are simply dealing with a very key part of Wikipedia—documenting the very sources upon which it is built.

I'm removing the tag. Wait 30 minutes or so and you'll see how it all works. Cheers.

PS Don't template the regs, we know what we're doing. ;) Alastair Haines (talk) 00:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PPS here's the best evidence of all: Wikipedia:List of missing journals/D-I.

It's great what you're doing, makes me feel safe about Wiki. Have a really good day! :) Alastair Haines (talk) 00:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Newbie biting

[edit]

Hey, you've been around long enough to know not to bite the newbies as you did here. Please don't call people noobs or call their work a piece of shit. It's rude.--Chaser (talk) 02:50, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your speedy deletion nomination of In re Gateway Learning Corp.

[edit]

Hi, I note that before you took In re Gateway Learning Corp. to AfD, you attempted to get it speedily deleted under the A7 CSD criterion. You may have just picked the wrong criterion, but in case you didn't, you should note that A7 is only for "an article about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content". In re Gateway Learning Corp. (a court case) does not fall into any of those categories and would not be caught by A7. Please note also that CSD as a whole is ONLY for uncontroversial deletions; having had your PROD removed earlier that day you should have been aware the deletion was not uncontroversial. Once your prod was disputed the appropriate course would have been to bring the article straight to AfD rather than attempting a CSD. Thanks. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol survey

[edit]

New page patrol – Survey Invitation


Hello Voxpuppet! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you  have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to  know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

  • If this invitation  also appears on other accounts you  may  have, please complete the  survey  once only. 
  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.


You are receiving this invitation because you  have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey. Global message delivery 13:48, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

[edit]

Hi Voxpuppet,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Recent Changes Patrollers!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about technical proposals related to Recent Changes Patrol in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:

  1. Adjust number of entries and days at Last unpatrolled
  2. Editor-focused central editing dashboard
  3. "Hide trusted users" checkbox option on watchlists and related/recent changes (RC) pages
  4. Real-Time Recent Changes App for Android
  5. Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Note: You received this message because you have transcluded {{User wikipedia/RC Patrol}} (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.
