[edit] Need some help
While using Outrigger's bot to assess articles, I came upon Mitigation of global warming where the bot states that it's an A-Class article. But when I go to the talk page there's no sign that it is in fact an A-Class article. Can you help me verify if it is indeed an A-Class or something screwed up? Thanks. OhanaUnited 17:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for the heads-up. I thought it's only me who screwed up the script. OhanaUnited 17:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adoption
Thank you so much! I would love to be adopted by such a wikipedian! And the fact that you're and admin can only help. Dreamy 20:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello. That would be great, really appreciated. Just let me know what do do now! --Dinny McGee 22:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello Mahanga, I'm very happy you want to adopt me! How do I direct my questions to you - on this talk page, or through some other means? --DarkAvenger 14:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll do that. I use MSN for instant messenger, what's your profile name?
-
- Thanks for the left aligned quote template. I played around with it for awhile, but eventually I decided I liked the centered one better. But thanks for the help! --DarkAvenger 10:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kate Bush GA review
Hi. Thanks for your review. Fair use rationales have now been added to the images and the lead has been extended. Epbr123 03:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GAC talk note
Hi -- I think you meant to say (at Wikipedia talk:Good article candidates#Inform) "personal attacks against EAlacy". As it stands it looks like you're warning EAlacy. I hate to edit other editors' words, so I thought I'd let you know so you can fix it yourself if you want to. Mike Christie (talk) 09:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List class?
Outrigger added a new tab for his bot (list). So I try to find out what it is, but there's not a page that describe what it does and it's not in any assessment scale. According to Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment, at the bottom, it tells me to refer to a project that uses it. So I pick one project that uses it (example of the article: Talk:List of Egypt-related topics). But when I go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ancient Egypt/Assessment, it doesn't mention anything about list class. OhanaUnited 15:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- I screwed up pretty badly. I added {{Environment}}. So then I go to Category:Environment articles by quality but found out the new categories are not created. I go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Assessment "Assessment instructions" section. Look at "Template (for templates; adds pages to)
Dab or Disambig (for disambiguation pages; add pages to) Cat or Category (for categories; adds pages to) List (for any pages that are religion lists; adds pages to)" If you go to the raw code, you can see that there're links to the back of each line "add pages to" but it doesn't get displayed. I think I need some help. OhanaUnited 18:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] My monobook.js
Hello! Anyways, I was fiddleing around with it and I was wondering what exactly was supposed to happen? Obviously something was, so could you try it so that is looks okay and so that it works? Cheers! Dreamy 02:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Different topic, but could you please check out this page and tell me whether I was right/correct in adding what I added? Cheers! Dreamy 02:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
-
- Could you please add the revert function to my monobook.js, from the TWINKLE thing? It would help me out a great deal. Thanks. Dreamy 21:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Plug-in hybrid
Thank you for your kind words. It was a lot of work, but I think maybe it has a shot at GA, or maybe even FA if it stays reasonably stable for a couple weeks. James S. 23:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suicidal ideation redux
I honestly hadn't given it much thought but I went back and looked at it again. The unreferenced stuff has been up for a week without any work done to reference it. I'm not an expert so if I went and did it I'd have to rely on general info websites like WebMD or the like. I've moved the list to my userspace so I can work on it at my leisure so you can remove it if you want. Wl219 06:54, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] help w/ editing out duplication sentence in Lewis Libby
Thank you for your previous assistance w/ correcting a typographical error in this article. I wonder if I might trouble you (1) to add a missing space in the citation [between "ref" and "name"] "<refname=NNDB>See also: Lewis Libby at the Notable Names Database, accessed April 18, 2007. [Some details about Libby listed here may be of questionable reliability ("This is a beta version of NNDB"; corrections and comments are requested).]</ref>" and (2) to remove an inadvertent duplication of a sentence (now part of a sentence) in the current version of the article that seems to have escaped others' notice: It is in the introductory paragraphs and is "Calls for Libby to be pardoned by President George W. Bush appeared in some newspapers.[10]" I apologize for these typographical errors. Thank you. --NYScholar 10:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

How do you propose a catagory for deletion? I know how to do it for articles, but not catagories. Cheers Neverender 899 21:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption
Greetings! I noticed you are seeking to adopt a user on the list of those seeking to adopt; this scheme appeals to me and I'd like to participate. Just leave a message on my talk page. I look forward to your reply.
Regards, WilliamH 16:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Excellent, thanks very much! As you can see, my contributions are mainly translation mixed in with just general tidying up, for example, the other day I spelt something incorrectly in the search, and lo and behold all the articles in which it had been spelt incorrectly also came up, so I corrected them all. I figure while expanding Wikipedia with new articles is of course helpful, simple things like spelling are also fundamental to the project and its integrity, obviously as it is the written word. Naturally I'm not familiar with everything, so if you think there's something very important lacking, by all means enlighten me! :) Regards, WilliamH 21:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Change log
Is there a page somewhere that enumerates changes in Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Chicago_articles_by_quality_statistics? I.e., a list of pages where the importance or quality assessment has changed. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 18:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP:ADOPT input
Hello, Mahanga. The Adopt-a-User program is looking for new ideas and input on the program.

If you want to update or change your information on the adopter's list page, now would be a great time! Thanks! V60 干什么？ · VDemolitions 03:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First Question
Greetings!
A significant contribution of mine was translating the St. Mary's Church, Lübeck from the German Wikipedia for the English one, thus bringing the article from stub to A grade status. Given your experience on getting articles promoted to Featured Article and Good Article status, I would value your opinion as to what you think needs to be done to the article (I'm thinking more copy editing, which I've been working on). It is already an A rating on the quality scale. WilliamH 15:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User boxes
Hello Mahanga! One question for you is... how do I create a user box and then make a quick link so that anyone can use it?
[edit] Update
Hello! Since I was 'adopted' I thought it was appropriate to branch out my use of Wikipedia into different areas. I joined Wikiproject Germany and have been helping clearing their log of unassessed articles (I think I've done at least a hundred so far), and have ventured into Recent Changes, patrolling for vandalism, blanking etc. I've also tried politely warning and hopefully guiding vandals and similarly, approaching and welcoming new editors so that their contributions remain on Wikipedia.
Over the coming month I have exams; this is why my Wiki activities will reduce slightly. :)
WilliamH 20:29, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- That's a cracking tool! Thanks for the info! :)

[edit] Adoption
Hi mahanga, I am currently looking for someone to adopt me and show me the ropes around wikipedia. I would love the oppurtunity to be adopted by an admin as that means you have a real commitment to Wikipedia. Send me a message on my userpage when you read this!

[edit] WP:GAC
Hey,
Quite a long time before we chat again, lol. I saw someone posted a message about reducing the backlog of WP:GAC and I put up my name on the participants page. So, what do I do now? OhanaUnited 04:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
An update from one of your adoptees. :)
My most recent WikiActivity was translating Münchner Wappen in its entirety to produce this article. The German version is listed as "Lesenswertig" (literally "Worthy of reading"); this is essentially their Good Article equivalent. For reasons congruent with this, I have nominated it for Good Article status as I think it is indeed, a good article, and in my opinion at least, it conforms with the criteria. Unsurprisingly I'd be dead chuffed if it passed on review, so if you feel there's anything you can do increase its likelyhood of doing so, well, naturally that'd be super. And of course, I welcome your feedback. :)

[edit] Assessment
Stanley Cup is now a GA recently, but the mainspace still displays it as a B-class. Why does this occur? OhanaUnitedTalk page 05:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- It shows now. I think the bot haven't update its status so it was showing B-class. Thanks anyways. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
