Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adriana Mercury

Good catch. Check out the latest comments when you get the chance. --A. B. 22:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

overlinking

I noticed that you added some wikilinks in the Skyhook article. This is generally not done with disambiguation pages. Quoting from Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages), Unlike a regular article page, do not wikilink any other words in the line, unless they may be essential to help the reader determine where they might find the information. --rogerd 18:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For correcting those grammar mistakes at the Akira Makino article. Iwazaki ^{会話。討論} 02:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Deleting Category:Wikipedians who don't own automobiles

The category, Wikipedians who don't own automobiles, in which you are listed, is being considered for deletion. You may share your thoughts on the matter at this category's entry on the User categories for discussion page. --DieWeibeRose 20:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Mongol invasion of Central Asia

Hi, you placed a {{cleanup}} tag on Mongol invasion of Central Asia, without any explanation. After the article has gone through extensive peer review last year and is listed in Wikipedia:Good articles, there may be some misunderstanding involved. Care to elaborate? Please note that in general it is considered good style to explain the placement of maintenance tags on the respective talk page. Otherwise people may not be able to correctly identify and address your concerns, which renders the tag alone rather useless. --Latebird 22:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Clarified in the article talk page. Thanks for the warning! Katharineamy 22:44, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Computer science

Hi, I think you have a misconception about what Computer science covers. It doesn't cover commercial products or most applications. Those would be properly covered under something like Computing or Information technology. Computer science is really about research and the academic discipline. I'm going to revert those edits; you can try adding them to another project if you wish. --Ideogram 05:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For putting my order of the spoon article in a section- completely forgot too! Again, thanksMicro.pw 13:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Question about Talk Page icons

This is going to sound like a completely stupid question, but is there a centralized, comprehensive repository of Wikipedia SVG icons, such as those you have on your Talk page? I'd love to be able to find some that are relevant to my Talk page, but I don't know where to look. (By the way, just as an FYI, in order to respond to a post on your Talk page, you have to reply on the other person's Talk page, thereby triggering a new message notification. Else they'll probably never see your response.) --Nonstopdrivel 18:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you kindly for your extremely prompt response. I've asked a number of people this same question, but you are the only one who has taken time to respond. It's editors like you who make Wikipedia an enjoyable place to spend time. --Nonstopdrivel 18:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

WPNovels

Thanks for adding these tags - however the normal tags are {{NovelsWikiProject}}, Thanks. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 15:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I don't see where you mean. Unless you have mistaken the internal project navigation template which is used on the right of project pages. The history of the template you have used is that someone created it without to project being aware and we change it to a redirect, so we could catch those being added to articles, which how I found yours. Could you please indicate so I can clarify or amend the documentation for other users. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 08:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Norbert Ceulemans

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:Norbert Ceulemans, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:Norbert Ceulemans fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:Norbert Ceulemans, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Talk:Norbert Ceulemans itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

An Invite to join Novels WikiProject

Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". We make no length distinction so all narrative prose fiction is of interest. This includes Novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories. Articles about the works themselves and the forms and genres.

We look forward to welcoming you to the project! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I gave you too random smiles it seems . . . um . . . ice cream? Seriously, just wanted to spread some wikismile. :) -WarthogDemon 23:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Please remember

( talk:Raymond Hood ) to fill in the edit summary slot - even/especially when doing assessment - which is something that many of us are not that thrilled with to begin with. If you were NOT doing an assessment, will, fill it in anyway, please. Carptrash 02:40, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

No, no. please don't stop what you are doing. But putting something in the Edit Summary helps me out a lot while I am patrolling my articles. I have 1,000 or so on my watch list and i use the edit summaries to decide what edits to check. I am also not happy with a lot of the assessing that is going on because it is being performed by the uninformed. I would rather folks corrected or improved what they think needs work rather than leaving a TAG stating that someone else should be doing it. I have gotten into hissy fits with some types about this, though none of us has managed to change each other's minds. Discovering that there is (how it looks to me) a competition among the assessors to see who can do the most assessments has not helped my mood as it is pretty clear to me that Speed Kills - as we used to say in the 1960s. So I am sorry if I accused you of being a part of that nefarious plot when you are not. Life is good. Carptrash 14:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Bruno Maddox at FAC

Hello Kate: I wonder if you would mind reviewing/copyediting my article on Bruno Maddox that is currently at FAC? Since you're British like my subject, Bruno Maddox, I thought it might interest you. The article is currently in the comment-comment-comment stages at FAC but seems to be generally going well. Any advice you might have would be much appreciated. Best, BillDeanCarter 10:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure, that would be fine. Any help you can offer.-BillDeanCarter 11:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. If you feel that the article meets all the criteria would you mind chiming in with a Support at WP:FAC afterwards? Have a good weekend.-BillDeanCarter 21:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

The sleepover disaster

A tag has been placed on The sleepover disaster, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Peter Tobin article reversion

Your reversion of this edit was marked as having broken references. I couldn't see what you meant, as this revision seems to work just fine for me. What problems did you see? I'd moved the coordinates into a reference because they referred to the text at that point, rather than the page as a whole. I'd be interested to know what you saw broken. TimR (talk) 14:12, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

You wrote "When I viewed the page last, the references had disappeared entirely along with the categories, after (and presumably somehow as a result of) your edit. I didn't have the time just then to figure out why, hence the revert."

Thanks. I'll play around with it again to see whether I can get it to break as you saw it. If it seems to behave itself, I'll put the change back, but keep an eye on any comments. (Just a thought, I'll log out and check it. It may be something in my own account which is making it work for me. Perhaps if it looks OK for me and you're still seeing no references you could also try logging out to see whether that changes anything.) Thanks for your time. TimR (talk) 21:07, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I dunno... I fear it's still kinda stubby for somebody who was such an influence on the field. Thanks for the implicit compliment, though, in removing the stub tag when all that was there was what I'd done. --Orange Mike 15:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello Katharineamy, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Hi

Regarding the edits of User:Tastesoon, he has been identified as a sockpuppet of banned user Amorrow as proven by a CheckUser. Banned users are not allowed the right to contribute to Wikipedia, and their edits should be reverted wherever found. Sorry, I didn't leave an explanation, but that's the situation. Thanks.

Warning vandals

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Jason Kidd: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Enigma ^msg! 01:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The next time someone states that information is true but needs sourcing, please feel free to simply move allong if you are not willing to do the part of the job that actually needs doing. Removing an item that has been verified but was left unsourced simply because I am not familiar with the best baseball sites to reference for it. It's unhelpfull and lazy.

Rollback use

Hi Katharineamy, as you know, I'm the admin who granted you rollback, as I believed that you would use it for reverting obvious vandalism. However, I came across this edit, which didn't look like you were reverting vandalism, and then I found a few more edits that I wasn't happy with: [2] [3] [4] Can you please explain why you reverted those using rollback? None of them looked like obvious vandalism, and should have been reverted with a proper explanation. Thank you. Acalamari 18:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. No, I won't remove your rollback for those diffs, as I prefer to discuss with a user first rather than remove rollback rights from them: I had a look at some at some of your other reverts later, and they looked fine, so yes, your reverts have mostly been good, but I still wanted to ask about the other diffs. Anyway, I accept your explanation, and if you plan to be more careful in future with the rollback tool, then you'll be fine. :) Best wishes and happy editing. Acalamari 19:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

You're very welcome! Acalamari 19:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fruit Loop

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Fruit Loop, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? — Lincolnite (talk) 17:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Biography Project banners

Hi. This is just a note to say it's unnecessary to add Biography Project banners to Opera Project-scope articles (e.g. Talk:Yvonne Gall) as the Opera Project is now doing assessments. All the best. --Kleinzach 00:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. No, the Opera Project decided not to be affiliated with the Biography Project. (The Biography Project Musicians Group does popular music which is something completely different.) Obviously multiple banners are on many pages now - and there's no law against it - but the original reason for this was because a lot of projects did not do assessments (or so it was claimed). Best. --Kleinzach 08:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Two points, Katharine (if I may), (1) banners that are not functional are just spam - of course if they are properly nested it's much less of a problem (2) if you really want to work on opera articles then you are most welcome to join the Opera Project. It's one of the most dynamic, rapidly developing projects on WP. Most editors are multilingual and copyediting standards approach those of print. Best. --Kleinzach 13:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject Biography stubs

Hey. I've noticed you've been removing assessments where the article is no longer a stub. That's fine, thanks for doing that. However, I think it would be move constructive to just uprate the article on the projects to start-class, rather than just remove it. This way it's still assessed, and our backlog of unassessed doesn't continue to increase. Thanks, Wizardman 18:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
