I was looking at his edit history and he actually added a profanity about another admin that warned this user. Thanks! --Zrulli 22:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Greetings

Hi. Just curious, do you warn vandals, or discuss articles? I want to try to avoid editcountitis, but if that's the price to pay for ensuring that an RfA candidate passes - which brings me to the other question. Do you think you're ready for adminship? Xiner (talk, email) 00:52, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Xiner! I often warn or notify users when I revert inappropriate edits but not always, for example in cases where some time has passed after the reverted edit. Many of the unhelpful edits on Wikipedia come from shared computers/IP addresses (in schools, for example) and a message left on such an IP's talk page hours after the reverted edit was made is somewhat likely to be received by someone else than the intended person. I discuss articles on talk pages when appropriate, but not as often as some others as I rarely get into content disputes. As for adminship, I think I need a couple of weeks to look into a few things before being comfortable with an RfA. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 09:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok, cool. That's actually a good characteristic for an RfA candidate. If you need a nominator you know how to find me. Xiner (talk, email) 00:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Link for Seas (company)

Hello. I noticed you added a link for Seas (company) at Seas (disambiguation). I removed it for now, since there's not really any reason to have a redlink at a disambig page, but were you planning on creating a new article for it? If so, just revert my edit when you're done. Thanks, Satori Son 03:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I added the redlink to the Seas disambiguation page per WP:MOSDAB#Redlinks as I believe that an article on the company could and should be written. I may write the article myself if I find good sources, but right now I don't have those so I just put the redlink in as a bait. --KFP (talk | contribs) 09:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

What I added Help Me question

Yes, it took a while, but I found it--it's navpop. Since you included the link to the page, I will post on the navpops discussion page--thank you very much. KP Botany 22:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Help with my AFD

Hi there! Thanks for helping me out fixing that link! --Xnuala 23:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you're welcome. In addition to fixing the links, I listed the nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2007 March 5 using the {{afd3}} template. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Can you tell me what I did wrong? As you can see, I rather made a mess of it. --Xnuala 23:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Most importantly, you didn't do the third step in AfD in 3 steps. Also, the "pg" parameter in {{afd2}} (step 2) should be just "article name", not "article name (second nomination)". Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I know I missed step 3...I figured that since I caused so much havoc with Step 2 I should wait on Step 3 until someone gave me some advice!! Thanks! --Xnuala 23:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Kings Quest move

Hi. I'm aware of the move tool, but the King's Quest page was already a redirect to King's Quest series, so unfortunately the move tool wouldn't have worked (I don't think, it never used to). Thanks for keeping a watch over it. -th1rt3en 22:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, those cases can be listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves and an admin will do the move. I agree that "King's Quest" is a better title, by the way. --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Crabs at a market

Hello KFP. I think you didn't gave enough time to the vote aforementioned. You stopped it just in the middle of it, when the last vote was around 8 hours before you stopped it. Also, there were more supporters than opposers, and the situation "Promoted"/"Not Promoted" can still be changed. Thank you, Tomer T 14:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I closed the nomination as it had been listed at WP:FPC for eight days and there was no consensus to promote it (vote count was 6.5 supports versus 5.5 opposes). Ideally, nominations should be closed after seven days but this is not always possible. If you disagree with the decision, you can ask for a second opinion at WT:FPC or renominate it later. Also, as compression artifacts were among the opposers' complaints, you could ask if Wpopp has an uncompressed version of the image. --KFP (talk | contribs) 14:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Mug and Torus morph.gif

Hi, you reciently promoted Image:Mug and Torus morph.gif, there was considerable discussion on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Homeomorphism that it was really a better illustration of homotopy rather than homeomorphism.

Going on Page

How can I get the WP:CHICOTW listed along with the other collaborations at Wikipedia:Goings-on. I pretty much run this collaboration. Also, our collaboration goes from Tuesday to Tuesday. Would the proper collaboration be the one that ended during the week or the one that started. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 18:54, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the collaborations are transcluded to Wikipedia:Goings-on from Template:Announcements/Current collaborations so the collaboration will have to be added there with the same format as the others (i.e. a link to Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/COTW and a template that always links to the current collaboration). Let me know if you have further questions. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:35, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Help needed

The table on Mazharul Islam looks ugly to me. It's difficult to access, the size is intimidating, the last column that contains comments is way too wide, the projects coulmn or the second column doesn't project the projects strongly, and a grouping of the years may do it much good. Can you give a hand there? I have been advised by User:Real96 to take help from WP:TABLE, but since I am quite illiterate on this code thing it is not helping (I can steal codes from others fine, but writing or fixing it is way too scary for me). Cheers. Aditya Kabir 12:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I tweaked the table a bit. Do you think it is better now? --KFP (talk | contribs) 13:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been trying to do the following:

  • Get the text in a slightly smaller size (not as small as the <small> code would generate, and all of it, not just the comments column)
  • Get the column sizes fixed (so that the comments column doesn't become the widest column)
  • Find out some way to make the projects in the projects column stand out more.
  • Get the years on the first column grouped together (one wide row for a particular year flanked by 2/3 rows of individual projects).
  • Put some more margin inside the cells.
  • And, change the colors of the table a bit (though this part I have figured out I don't know the web color codes enough to do that)

Can you help me to tweak it around a bit more? Aditya Kabir 14:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi. I am sorry for that Image:Example.jpg that you removed for Education in Bangladesh. It was an accident, and I failed to notice it. Sorry again. Aditya Kabir 23:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

My Question Concerns: Adding A Link Within Another Link

This is my Original Question: Please, can anyone tell me the proper format to create a link within another link? (Or, is this even possible?) For example, let's say that I want the text to read exactly: Arnold (The Governator) Schwarzenegger. What is the proper linking format that would create this exact text so that it links to both the "Arnold Schwarzenegger" article and the "The Governator" article? Please help. Thanks a lot! (JosephASpadaro 05:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC))

This is a response that I received: Well, you could do Arnold (The Governator) Schwarzenegger as [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold]] [[(The Governator)]] [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Schwarzenegger]]. That's a little weird though. Max 16:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
This was my response to the response above: Thanks. Yes, I thought of that -- but it's certainly not an elegant way to achieve what I need. Furthermore, it's not quite accurate to have the text of the person's first name only (e.g., Arnold) link to his full name (e.g., Arnold Schwarzenegger). These types of nicknames happen all the time (e.g., Michael "Air" Jordan, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, etc.). I would think that there is an easy way to accomplish this. Any ideas? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 03:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC))
Sorry, I'm not aware of a practical means of placing a link inside another link. Adding one would also be confusing for most readers. Nicknames should generally not have separate articles: for example, The Governator exists simply as a redirect to the article Arnold Schwarzenegger. If it is necessary or important to include the nickname, it is probably best to go with the following format: [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger]]. This produces the following: Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 01:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I guess that Arnold Schwarzenegger was a poor example. I meant something more along the lines of this: Henry ("The Fonz") Winkler -- done so that it would create a link to both the article on Henry Winkler, the actor -- as well as a link to a separate article on the fictitious TV character "The Fonz." Or, other examples: Ralph ("The Karate Kid") Macchio ... Jackie ("The Honeymooners") Gleason. Things of that nature. Any suggestions? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 04:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC))

Hmm... I think you'll have to think of another way to convey the same information to the reader. Also, depending on context, use of nicknames may be a bit too informal for an encyclopedia article. --KFP (talk | contribs) 18:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Why are you mentioning nicknames again? I specifically stated that the Arnold Schwarzenegger example (with the nickname of "The Governator") was a poor choice for an example on my part. Then, I gave three more pertinent examples, none of which contain a nickname -- but, rather, a reference to the actor's work. So, you have me confused. Please clarify. Thanks! (JosephASpadaro 19:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC))
Oh, sorry. Can you give me an example of an article where you would like to use this kind of linking? --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
The articles would (generally) involve actors, acting, television, movies, etc., but not necessarily. For example, a sentence might read: "The May 12, 1975 issue of TV Guide featured Henry (The Fonz) Winkler on its cover." I would like that sentence to link to both articles: the article on the actor (Henry Winkler) and the article on his TV character (The Fonz). It would seem inappropriate to make a link from simply "Henry" to the "Henry Winkler" article. Another example: "The 1983 Best Actor Oscar was awarded to Jackie (The Honeymooners) Gleason." These are simply fictitious examples that I concocted. The point is a person's name is often split with a nickname or common reference that is sandwiched between the person's first and last name. Another example: The singer Don ("American Pie") McClean spoke at the college graduation. Any thoughts? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 23:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC))
I think it might be better to write something along the lines of "The 1983 Best Actor Oscar was awarded to Jackie Gleason for his performance in The Honeymooners" or "The May 12, 1975 issue of TV Guide featured Henry Winkler, best known for his portrayal of Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli in Happy Days, on its cover". All depending on context, of course. --KFP (talk | contribs) 16:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. But, certainly, I am aware of how to rewrite the sentences in such a way that the nicknames/references are separated from being sandwiched in between the person's first and last names. That was not the issue. The issue is this - it is rather common to refer to someone in the following manner: Henry ("The Fonz") Winkler or Arnold (The Governator) Schwarzenegger or Jackie ("The Honeymooners") Gleason. Is it possible at all to create suitable links, using this exact verbiage style, to both pertinent articles (e.g., the Winkler article and the Fonz article)? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 02:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC))
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. I never heard back from you, as of my last post. Still, I wanted to thank you for your help. Take care. (JosephASpadaro 01:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC))

Yes, I'm not aware of any other way to do it than the one Max Terry suggested. Happy editing! --KFP (talk | contribs) 02:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you need to reduce the resolution (which makes it much harder to see the characters) on promotional images? and to what size. I'm not fully sure. gren グレン 13:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I rescaled the image per criteria 2 and 3 of WP:FU#Policy. I am not aware of a separate policy for promotional images. Also, the photo seems to be by Warner Bros but the website that is presented as the source for this image (the-leaky-cauldron.org) is a fansite that "is in no way affiliated with J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros. or any of its partners or affiliates within the Harry Potter franchise."

Hurmata needs help

Hi. I want to mark an article for deletion *without logging in*. But without me logging in, Wikipedia won't create a page in the special forum for discussions of marked articles. I marked the article (John_Mauldin) for deletion anyway, but I'm limited to using the regular discussion page. I have used that discussion page to explain myself (see also http://www.johnmauldin.com, . The reason I don't want to have to log in is that I don't want to expose myself to the possibility of getting spammed at by the target of my protest. My worry is all the greater because the email I use for my Wikipedia account is different from the email where I've been getting spammed already. To conclude: how best can a Wikipedian mark an article for deletion on the ground that it serves a commercial purpose or on the ground that the person featured in the article is directly intruding in the lives of Wikipedians? Thanks. Hurmata 00:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The e-mail address you have set for your Wikipedia account is not shown to other users. Also, if you uncheck the "enable e-mail from other users" box in your preferences, other people will not be able to send you mail using Wikipedia's "E-mail this user" function. I think you can safely nominate the article for deletion while logged in. However, if you still want to do it while not logged in, let me know. --KFP (talk | contribs) 01:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The section took a while to get together, as I worked to make notes and be acurate in what I submitted. I was browsing the aricle just now and found that the entire section has been removed with the note, removed section because pretty much covered in other sections, this is untrue as I covered things that had not been mentioned yet, and went into more depth that had.

You're a sysop!

Hi, KFP/Archive 4, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, block anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion for more than 5 days (provided there's a consensus), protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=

Need help on how to protest a persistent incompetent contributor

Hi, KFP, I don't mean to impose. The reason I am asking you specifically for help is that I was pleased with how you helped me previously when I posted a "cry for help" at my talk page.

There's this contributor who's English is so bad and who's regard for facts is so careless that I would like to have their IP address blocked. At the least, I would like someone in authority to talk to them. I do not like to call this person a vandal because their intentions are honorable and their postings do not demean people. This person edits the article, History of Portugal. They like to post in flurries of brief edits. And they are unregistered. I have already reverted their first flurry and justified myself in the article's Discussion page. What do you suggest I do now? Thanks. Hurmata 23:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Discussion is mostly the best way to resolve disagreements over editing. In this case it may be difficult to get in contact with the editor in question as he/she is editing anonymously, but Talk:History of Portugal is a good place to post concerns (as you already did). An alternative place is the IP's talk page at User talk:213.22.20.21 but messages left there may be received by someone else than the intended recipient. I also encourage you to be bold in improving the article and fixing errors there. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 16:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio

Nigrán: I put the tag back. I hope an administrator will do the right thing and remove the previous versions of the page then restore the page without the copyrighted material. If you agree that the previous versions are copyrighted, I would put {{db-copyvio}} on the page and then restore the page. Andreas  (T) 14:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I changed my mind _ there is no indication that the Spanish page is a copyvio.  Andreas  (T) 14:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

FP closures

Hey KFP, congrats to your recent promotion to the janitorial corps :-) Also, now that I closed my first FPC's and realized how burdensome it is, I wanted to let you know that it's ok if you only do the first three steps – mark the discussion as closed, mark the picture as promoted and let me know on my talk page – and I can take care of the other eight steps. I'm not surprised now why we have so few closers. Take care, ~ trialsanderrors 19:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user/talk page recently. Mr Stephen 21:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I also semiprotected your talk page for a few hours as the vandal was switching IP's. Your user page is still sprotected. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 22:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
At least it all stayed in user-space! Looking at the pattern, I think my pages were a battleground, rather than a specific target. Regards, Mr Stephen 22:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
