[edit] Wikipedia:Non-administrator_rollback

Wikipedia:Non-administrator_rollback is undermining the Truth ™ WikiPedia is not a democracy! Igor Berger (talk) 00:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for image

Hello. I see that you have made various world maps for Wikipedia. I was wondering if you could make one for the Republic of China-Japan relations article. As you can see, it is missing a map to show where Taiwan and Japan are. However, I'm not sure how to make one. Could you put it on your "to-do list"?

Many thanks, John Smith's (talk) 23:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Military history coordinator selection

The Military history WikiProject coordinator selection process is starting. We are aiming to elect nine coordinators to serve for the next six months; if you are interested in running, please sign up here by February 14! Woody (talk) 11:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] And how do you do that without a header?

if you would like to link to a specific part of a page add a header ===header_name===; you can then get to that section at Wikimedia Foundation#header_name)

Because that looks tacky when you're reading down the page, I just wanted to link to a particular subsection, but without breaking up the flow of text.

[edit] Advice on Common rock densities

Hi, I'd like to know what to do when I encounter articles like Common rock densities. I can't find anything in the deletion policy saying it should be deleted, but it's orphaned, uncited, WP:listcruft, and useless as is for rock identification. Merging it into all the rock articles might be best, but since there are no references it'd be like creating it anew. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 02:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

It seems to fall under WP:NOT#INFO. I'd say it should be merged into the rock articles, then WP:PRODded or speedied, but if you can find a better course of action, please take it. --Wikiacc (¶) 11:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'll find references and merge it into the rock articles when I have time. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 13:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted article to user space

Could you please move Senate Guards to my user space? I'd like to de-in-universe Emperor's Royal Guard‎ and hopefully merge the two into an article with some real-world substance. --EEMIV (talk) 13:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] user nouse4aname

the user nouse4aname has undo my edit 4 times with the last 24 hours so to aviod an edit war and to aviod violating the 3rr rule, i stopped editing the page, however i put the edit war warning on his page and told him since he undo my eidts 4 times he violated the rule, he then removed it from the page to make himself look like he has a better history so i added it back just now and that is where we are. he has a nack for customizzing the pages to his likeing, he will follow one rule thne dis obey another if he doesnt like it, he has been nothing but an annoniance since he started edited the used page, since he violred the 3rr rule and removed the warning i think u shud give him a band to teach him a lesson., i just checked and he removed the warning again so i will re add it again, the page he violted the 3rr on was shallow believer .... here is his talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nouse4aname#used USEDfan (talk) 20:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I clearly explained to this user on their talk page why their edits were unnecessary and against consensus. I removed the template as I do not take kindly to such warnings being issued by someone with no idea about policy.Nouse4aname (talk) 20:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

the point is they violated the 3rr rule, aslo they stalk me on this site as seen here, and either undo and have a comment about every edit i make but worse thing is they stalk my every edit and them coming to ur page is proof. USEDfan (talk) 20:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

USEDfan, you are the one who has a history of "customizing" your talk page. I encourage Wikiacc to check the edit history. --Pwnage8 (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
