Re: User talk:Icewedge

I am not leaving, don't worry. Its just that for the forseable future the best internet I have is slow wify on a 5-year-old palm pilot; which, needless to say, is excruciating. Its good to see that I am not completely background noise here on the pedia' though :) Oh, and you will have to tag this post with {unsigned|icewedge} because I can not for the life of me find tildes on this interface. So, for now, goodbye. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by icewedge (talk • contribs)

Username you created

Hi there,

I appreciate your work at WP:ACC, but you just created a username which I don't think is suitable:

User:Sallysinlovewithbenspinksnake - translates to Sally's in love with ben's pink snake. That username is not appropriate as per policy and I don't think you should have created it.

Thanks, The Helpful One (Review) 16:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh my, what a mess...I've reported them to WP:UAA, thanks for the heads up ——Ryan | t • c 16:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

adding pictures

Hi Ryan~

if you're busy no worries...I'm sure I'll fig. it out somehow. I tried to add images and I want to add a book cover and description as I see on "The Lovely Bones" page (but for "The Girl With the Crooked Nose". So far no luck in doing so...:-(

thx.BArts --BenderArts (talk) 12:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by BenderArts (talk • contribs) 22:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

still can't add pics

I get a message saying:

"Permission error From Wikipedia Jump to: navigation, search The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups Autoconfirmed users, Sysops.

Return to Main Page"


I have full permission to use these images from their creator. I also want to add a book cover and full description as I see on the page for "The Lovely Bones"

I have a feeling I may need more help and I don't want to bother the wrong person so if I'm taking up too much time just let me know where to go:-)

thx! --BenderArts (talk) 12:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BenderArts (talk • contribs) 00:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

adding pics and thank you

Thx. As soon as I get this down I'll be a good, yet small contributer. Guess I better go make a few edits and wait 3 more days! This is interesting, I wondered how Wikipedia worked.BenderArts (talk) 15:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 22:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow that's kinda harsh, it was blocked for making too many edits? Surely cluebot has accumulated many more? ——Ryan | t • c 22:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I guess it was making edits faster or more often than ClueBot and was putting an unnecessary strain on the servers. It was blocked by a sys developer. Useight (talk) 23:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

yes quite delicious

I just love how deliciously you help the site.22:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ryan, Is my CREE webpage ok now? I don't see how it is advertising.

Thank you

George Sampson

Hi, I noticed you returned some info to the infobox of the above article. The source given for Sampson's DOB does not include this info, just his age. As per the biog. rulings, I don't think we can list his DOB until a source (let alone a reliable one!) is found. I'm removing it for now, if you find a source please reinsert it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LHMike (talk • contribs) 23:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Protection request

temporary semi- protection Vandalism, This page is undergoing heavy vandalism and many RC patrollors will soon be in violation if we try to revert the vandalism still further.

Violation of what? :/ -- Gurch (talk) 16:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I didn't finish my sentence for some reason!!! I meant to say in violation of 3RR, sorry Gurch :P ——Ryan | t • c 16:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
3RR? Unless someone rewrote policy while I wasn't looking, I don't think that applies to reversion of vandalism -- Gurch (talk) 16:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
My bad ——Ryan | t • c 17:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
It's OK... you'd be surprised how many people don't seem to know that, including administrators (example) :( -- Gurch (talk) 17:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Another example. This admin warned me for violation the 3RR rule whilst on Huggle duty. Since then I've always assumed 3RR still included vandalism reverts. Thanks for clearing that up for me :) ——Ryan | t • c 21:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Huggle and rollback

I think you must be mistaken. I myself am actively using Huggle, but I don't have rollback (at least, not to my knowledge). Gail Wilson (talk) 18:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

What is required is auto-confirmation, since it did not allow me to edit in my first four days after registration. I'm correcting the WP:Huggle page accordingly. Gail Wilson (talk) 19:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Read the feedback page :) ——Ryan | t • c 21:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I did (Calvin 1998‎ told me about it). It's bad news for myself, unless I can convince an admin to grant me rollback in time. Gail Wilson (talk) 21:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Have you tried requesting rollback? I've seen admins issue it to members with far less mainspace edits than you ——Ryan | t • c 21:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I could... I was hesitant because my account is fairly new (less than a week old), but I'll give it a try later. Thanks for the suggestion :) Gail Wilson (talk) 21:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
All the assessing admin will need to see is whether you have a clean set of contribs and that there's evidence of a desire to tackle vandalism. No problem ——Ryan | t • c 21:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Adding books to Wikipedia pages

Hello again Ryan,

Thanks for all your help. I have added Frank Bender's image with permission to his page and now want to add the book cover and info. for "The Girl With the Crooked Nose" ISBN-10: 140006533X ISBN-13: 978-1400065332. He has partial copyright and the book is about him. Can I add the book to his page? If so where should I start?

Thx. so much! Vanessa Bender BenderArts (talk) 01:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Even if he only has 'partial copyright,' I don't think it will be allowed on here ——Ryan | t • c 12:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Jamie Borthwick

I added a pic of Jamie Borthwick but it's a bit big and says it should be deleted. Can you delete and replace it with a different picture which is allowed please? thanx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weatherbed (talk • contribs) 15:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think you understand the policies regarding images here on wikipedia. Give Image use policy a read and you'll find that only a small minority of images are actually allowed to be used here. If you upload an image, you need to state a rationale justifying the images' presence on wikipedia. ——Ryan | t • c 16:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. Can you upload a picture of Jamie Borthwick that is allowed for me then because i really want a pic of him on his page?--Weatherbed (talk) 17:06, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for re doing the website i added under external links but why delete the picture, i thought it was ok to add? can u plz add one that is allowed asap? --Weatherbed (talk) 18:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Misr International University

I do not see what was so controversial about my reverts. I was not using the "rollback" function at all, the IP editor in question had not made any recent constructive edits, but only made edits complaining about the administration of the school, the edits were blatantly NPOV, and I left a message on the IP talk page stating that the edit had been reverted due to POV concerns. I respect your opinion that they were "unjust", but I actually think that a couple of "Information" messages were on the pretty mild end of the scale. I'll take your comments under advisement in good faith, and if there's anything else you think I should have done I'll be happy to consider it for the future. Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC).

You were using Huggle which uses the Rollback feature to revert edits. You do not use rollback to revert NPOV violations. Secondly, the first warning you left on the users' talk page didn't mention anything to do with the NPOV policy. You left them a standard vandalism template (using Huggle). Unless Wikipedia polices have taken a completely radical re-write recently, I don't recall NPOV being classed as vandalism ——Ryan | t • c 12:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
WP:ROLLBACK itself states that "Rollback must only be used to undo edits that are blatantly nonproductive". I concede that on reflection the edits in question appear to be borderline, but given the edits in question, I still think it was justifiable. There was no content that could reasonably be salvaged from the fragment, and it was an unsourced and essentially anonymous criticism of a real-world entity that could conceivably have had their reputation damaged by the edit. Hence, I was of the opinion that the edit was "blatantly nonproductive", especially considering it was re-done after being reverted. I will also concede that I should have used the "NPOV" message first time around, and I will endeavour to be more careful on this point in the future. However, I still think that characterising it was "unjust" is a bit unnecessarily emotive - "unjust" would have been slapping a final warning template or reporting them straight to AIV. I like to think I'm not that heavy handed =) Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC).
Further to that, I actually looked closely at the Huggle specs and it does indeed use Rollback. I figured it was using a pseudo-revert rollback feature like Twinkle does. So, I'll give you that too. Learn something every day! =). Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC).
No problems, and no hard feelings here. Happy editing! Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC).

Sky Angel recent edit

Good afternoon, Ryan

I wanted to delete some information that is no longer relevant to Sky Angel, including the response from Kathleen Johnson. Ms. Johnson is no longer with Sky Angel, and her response does not reflect the company's position.

I am the Public Relations Director assigned the responsibility to monitor this website. What is the best way to revise / update our page if what I did was not correct? Many thanks,

Karole Davis email: Karole.Davis@skyangel.com 208.46.240.50 (talk) 16:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
