Here's some Christmas cookies! | |
Merry Christmas! To celebrate, I give you a plate of Christmas cookies! ZappaOMati 17:05, 25 December 2012 (UTC) |
I think it's in pretty good shape now; I made some edits and commented at the review page, but I think the only major thing that needs to be addressed now is sourcing in the financial troubles and dogfighting sections. I don't think it should be tough to address, given how heavily these things were covered. Happy holidays! --Batard0 (talk) 06:34, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi there! When using certain templates on talk pages, such as welcome templates and user warnings, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:welcome}} instead of {{welcome}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. If you need any further help on the matter just ask me on my talk page. Cheers. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 17:57, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Regarding a t-shirt nomination :) Jalexander--WMF 22:29, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi! I was wondering if I was alone in feeling that this is really not an appropriate response to a question at Teahouse? If you agree, I will be happy to correspond with the editor involved, but I wanted to check myself before I did. Thanks! Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for the info, I was unaware of that page, I was just going through earlier bowls from this year trying to find templates. Again thanks a lot. Eh Oh Canada (talk) 22:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
I just joined the teahouse as a host. Mind breezing me through there, telling me where I can help?
TheOriginalSoni (talk) 20:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC) (I prefer TBs)
I always use the WER project welcome templates. They include a Teahouse link. So does the Welcoming commitee's templates. But I agree, it should be mentioned in other places. I don't have a clue as to how to make that happen. Gtwfan52 (talk) 21:45, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Can you re-post it. You know the talkback with the no more Wiki and stuff? Can you re-post your answer? I never got to read it. RaidenRules! (talk) 23:20, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Hey. Saw your message. I was hoping no one would send that message 'cuase I made sort of a promise that if anyone told me to edit something, that I would leave Wikipedia because over 3 people had told me that and I said if that discussion had to happen again, that I would quit being in Wikipedia. And a promise is a promise, sorry. I'm too scared to make any edits. So I guess no more Wikipedia if that whole discussion starts again. No more Wikipedia for me.

Hello Go Phightins!, and welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! Your submissions' page is here. The competition begins at midnight UTC. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders: *The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page. *Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started the review in 2013.) We will be checking. *If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself. *Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens. *Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked. Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck!

Hi! Just so you know, if you ever see anything like that again, go ahead and pull it right off AN or ANI, and flag down an oversighter. (Since the edits were suppressed, it's probably best not to discuss what the thread contained). Thanks! --Rschen7754 08:28, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
I've changed your flag for you. J Milburn (talk) 11:24, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Can you strike issues at Talk:Venric Mark/GA1 as they are resolved.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:01, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
I just recently started working at AfD. I just reviewed Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Arun Panchariya. It is very frustrating, as I took the time to thoroughly review the article and the sources and took the time out to write out exactly what i found to be the problems with the article, something I have noticed is usually not done. Not 2 minutes after I posted the review, the article's creator began adding unreliable sources. I am guessing it is somewhat an ESL problem. My question is this: When and how do you tell an author that their article isn't going anywhere? Gtwfan52 (talk) 08:04, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
See his restrictions in his accepted unblock here (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:36, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
The last comment I can find on this GA review page is that you were about to pass the article on December 26. Was there something wrong? Is something still needing to be done with the article before it qualifies? It would be nice to get this completed; it's the fifth oldest GA review. Many thanks!

Hi Go Phightins! I just wanted to let you know that I borrowed the code for the format of your userbox table. Thanks! JHUbal27 (talk) 11:53, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Go P, thank you very much for the praise. I've had a few editors come to me and offer to nominate me for RFA, but have never taken them up on the offer. For a long time I didn't feel a need for the tools; with my position as FLC director, the ability to edit blurbs would be nice, but there aren't too many other areas where the tools would help me. I'm not really involved with ANI or AFD, and most of what I do is normal editing that doesn't need any tools. There are also practical considerations as to why I don't feel the urge to run: I'm straining to keep up with my regular editing schedule and can't take on an admin's duties, and I'm unsure whether the greater community would vote for me. They want people with more hands-on experience at admin processes than I have. To be honest, I don't have a strong need for the tools anyway, and those processes bring drama that I don't want to be a part of. Unlike many others on Wikipedia, I get to edit in peace most of the time. I'd like to keep it that way if possible. Giants2008 (Talk) 18:29, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
The RFC for TAFI is nearing it's conclusion, and it's time to hammer out the details over at the project's talk page. There are several details of the project that would do well with wider input and participation, such as the article nomination and selection process, the amount and type of articles displayed, the implementation on the main page and other things. I would like to invite you to comment there if you continue to be interested in TAFI's development. --NickPenguin(contribs) 02:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for delay. Ping. — Yash [talk] 04:33, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Phightins! Good day. I am new.
A user has started demanding an article layout be changed according to his desire against the vote of everyone else who has reverted the changes. It is really odd. I am a new user and have no idea how to handle the situation. And is this type of thing a regular occurrence? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_people_who_have_been_called_a_polymath
I am also updating the page of Patrick M. Byrne which has extremely confusing Talk page requirements.Bhalluka (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
In here you may find my comment. I could go on and on forever, but in case there is still any doubt, let me know. Also, I'd like to make it clear that I requested a third opinion and that Noleander accepted the role. He agreed with me and complained that Cambalachero never presented any sources (despite being requested to do so in five different moments). When he finally did it, he brought books (he didn't tell what were the pages nor what were their titles or year in which they were published) written by self-described Revisionists who have been dead for the past 40 years. The sole author cited who is alive is not even a real historian. And these are books that you can not find either online nor mentioned anywhere as sources in other books. --Lecen (talk) 03:13, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Here is my reply to you: Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Argentine revisionism. I'm really sorry but I cannot, at least not willing, accept the inclusion as legitimate bibliography a historiographic movement that is anti-semitic and advocate of dictatorial regimes. You will understand once you read my reply in that thread. --Lecen (talk) 00:12, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I'm curtaintoads mum.
I have just read through my sons recent messages and I'd like to thank you for the advice and support you have shown.
He is a child with autism, so, that makes things pretty difficult for him.
He has a genuine wish to be a good Wikipedian, sometimes he is too enthusiastic, but I think he will settle down.
Once again, thanks for helping.
