Pauli Rodriguez
I am proving a valuable point. Also I will take this to the civil courts in order to get my name removed from conflict of interest page. Wikipedia is getting to neutral for me...when are humans only neutral? How can I be neutral in emotion? I am expressing my points as neutrally as I can. I do use notable resources. I rather keep this conflict of interest small don't you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulifan (talk • contribs) 01:06, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Please relist Pauli Rodriguez wikipedia article. If appeal democrat is notable then why did you accept a wikipedia article about them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal-Democrat. I was also noted in the Sacramento Bee several times, the capital newspaper of California and several times in the Appeal. I was also noted in several other newspapers in California. Please relist my article. Thank you!
maybe you should take the appeal democrat and sacramento bee articles down along with many others. Please remove me from the conflict of interest page, I want to add to my Pauli Rodriguez article. Pauli Rodriguez is a noteworthy person.

John Lynch (clergyman)
Thanks for the bits you sorted out on this new page, but "expences" wasn't a typo -- it is how the word was printed in the book I quotes (published in 1793). Is there a WP policy about literal accuracy in quotations of this sort? Vidoue (talk) 22:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- Well expences is actually an obsolete spelling of the word expenses. It is okay to say that. It is okay to use it, because is it still a word. I have no idea about the policy thing, though. Btilm 22:15, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

That was put in place (not by me) to allow reviewers to see who has yet to receive a review just by visiting the main [[WP:ER|Editor review] page. The asterisk is removed by the first person that reviews the user, along with the *<!-- Remove the ASTERISK next to the username and this TAG when you review this user --> {{Not yet reviewed}} message in the review itself.

- I don't know. I've never used Huggle, so I'm not at all familiar with it. I have a few thousand smalltown articles on my watchlist (they get edited so rarely that I'm not swamped by tons of changes), and the Demographics sections are similar enough (including all having the same source) that the absence of this reference tag means nothing to me except that I need to restore it.

- Okay. Thank you. And, if you don't mind me asking, do you think I would pass an rfa? If not, why? Btilm 04:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
- I really don't know. Other than when I was nominated, I've almost never done anything with RFA, so I'm not too familiar with the process. I would guess that at least some people would be hesitant because most of your mainspace edits are vandal fighting: while that's obviously not trivial, many people believe that it's good for an admin to be experienced in adding content as well as preserving what's already there.

- Re question 2, try reading the Twinkle documentation - there is an option called watchWarnings. AJCham 22:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I tried the twinkle thing, but it still adds it to my watchlist. Would you look at my monobook page? And, is there a way to produce the big space thing (something like an indention) without copying and pasting? Click edit this section and look below this text for an example of what I am talking about. Btilm 01:22, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
I cannot edit your monobook page, only you can. I think the only way you can indent is to copy and paste from the twinkle document page. Try this:
if( typeof( TwinkleConfig ) == 'undefined' ) TwinkleConfig = {}; // DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE - ALL TWINKLE SETTINGS AFTER THIS TwinkleConfig.watchProdPages = false; TwinkleConfig.watchRevertedPages = []; TwinkleConfig.watchSpeedyPages = []; TwinkleConfig.watchWarnings = false; //END

Tests
It was some gibberish about some alleged person allegedly born in the 1870s. Someone testing out what they can do on Wikipedia.
Why do you ask? DS (talk) 02:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- Well, actually, I think that would be more like A1. I saw the page before you deleted it and I really think you might have made a mistake.... Btilm 02:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter. If anything, it was halfway between a G3 and a G10, but either way it was crap. There's a difference between "born in 1878 in New York" and "born in 1878 in New York, is dumb and stupid, HIS FAVORITE WORD IS PAPAYA".
- I don't bother to use the CSD codes; instead, I just use what they mean. In this case, I decided to be generous and consider it a test of what Wikipedia will allow. DS (talk) 03:08, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

- I don't know why, I just don't like IRC. Here is what I am trying to do. I want to use RegEx to find text using AWB. I want to find [[eBay]], including the brackets. Since the brackets would interfere with the RegEx, you would have to use an interrupter. In this case, I used a backslash. \b\[\[eBay\]\]\b is what I came out with. I tested it and it would not find [[eBay]]. I might not be getting this whole RegEx thing. Is it in the language Perl? If so, is there an on-wiki tutorial on how to use it? Thank you.

- In all due respect, Btilm, Regex is a big subject. Whole books have been written on it. I can help you with specific problems, but I don't think either of us wants me to go through all of the details, and I don't think I know all of them.

Speedy deletion and AfD
As a rule of thumb, don't nominate an article for deletion at AfD when it has a speedy deletion tag on it.

That article had such a clear lack of notability that no discussion was necessary. —C.Fred (talk) 04:10, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

- Chatzilla for IRC chat. Sometimes 7 requests come in within 92 seconds. Other times there is nothing for 5 hours. The changes are dependent on the requests of prospective users, ie no set interval. ACCBot notifies of the requests on IRC as they come in. Other than for IRC i am a Chrome user so i have no idea what check4change is. delirious & lost ☯ TALK 05:04, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Your comment in the Film Victoria AfD sounds like you are withdrawing the nomination, but I'm not quite sure enough to close the AfD with that outcome. If this is your intention, then feel free to close the AfD yourself (see Wikipedia:Deletion process#Articles for deletion page has instructions if you aren't sure how to do this) or, alternatively, you can clarify your statement on the AfD discussion page and someone else will do it for you.
If you aren't withdrawing the nomination, I'd clarify your statement accordingly. Thryduulf (talk) 14:17, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

- No thank you. I have already made another sig and asked another admin to put it on my page. If you want to do it, visit
- How does that look? It's considerably shorter now. I've pruned most of the extraneous code; you can re-add the padding code, though the difference looks minute to me. copied from ANI Master of Puppets 23:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- No thanks, I'm just going to stick w/ the multicoloured versions - easy enough for me to pick out on a page. Skier Dude (talk) 03:42, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Adoption
I accept, I'm willing to learn from you the ropes and guidelines of Wikipedia. Thanks!ThemeParker (talk) 03:56, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Yes, I would like a custom signature. I hope I'm not a drain in your time, I've been in and around the site for years and I'm trying to start an editing career I can be proud of. Thanks for your time. :)ThemeParker (talk) 04:01, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
I need to clarify what time zone you're in, because I'm in GMT -5 or the US Midwest but I'm in the Eastern time zone. It's so we don't get confused as why one of us aren't responding to one another.ThemeParker (talk) 04:12, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

It works out fine, thank you! I'll come up with something eventually to create. Just not presently, I'll make sure to come to you when I do.ThemeParker 02:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Samuel Gwinn Plantation
I wasn't copying and pasting your text, actually. There's an infobox generator for NRHP articles which gives me the infobox and categories, and I wrote the text by hand. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 02:29, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 02:31, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Perhaps, though I don't really have a problem with writing two sentences, especially since I usually have to correct something in the infobox anyway. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 02:38, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm guessing you didn't actually look at the page.
At the very least it's nonsense/vandalism. HalfShadow 02:36, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Adoption
Hello, and thank you for the offer. May I ask what drew you to my account for adoption? What are your core beliefs? Have you reviewed my recent edits, and the controversy behind them? I ask because I want to make sure i know what I am getting into, and to make sure you know what you are getting into. I had a sig like yours, and other editors complained... Neuromancer (talk) 04:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Tell you more about the editors that have had a problem with me? Well, I have been accused of POV pushing, even though that is not what I think it is. I feel that a number of articles are presented from a biased POV, and I was trying, through very meticulous, well referenced, and eloquent edits, to change that. When that didn't work, I attempted to create a new article to include information which was not welcome by other editors of the article. They disliked the info so much, they nominated for deletion, and then ganged up to vote off WP. Neuromancer (talk) 07:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Please stop
Please don't use A1 tags on articles that have enough context. [7] tells you that it is an episode of a TV series. What else do you need?

Infobox generator
It's interesting, but I don't see how it saves that much work. I'm content with using the current infobox generator, and everything else doesn't really take that long to do; besides, I usually have to fix a few things in the infobox generator, so I'd still have to look over all of the articles. It's not a bad concept though, and if you developed the whole thing into an automated process (something like what User:Ram-Man used to create all the U.S. city articles) I would probably be more interested.

I have reviewed you here. Hope it is ok for you. :) AtheWeatherman 18:26, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, your welcome. :) A DYK, which stands for Did You Know, is a feature running on the main page, that changes every 6 hours. See more Vercors Cave System. Had to brag there :) Hope this helps anyway. Regards. AtheWeatherman19:56, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

- Hi again. The redirect page was being categorized by the link. Putting ":" (without quotation marks) in front of the namespace forces the piped link to be only a link. For example, you can use the same trick to stop an image from transcluding. E.g.: [[:Image:Example.jpg]] comes out as Image:Example.jpg. Hope that helps! Cheers, m.o.p 02:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

You are condescending
The way you treat users on this website is disgusting. I've seen more politeness from 5 year olds. If you are wondering what I'm talking about you can check my talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kangolcone (talk • contribs) 23:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Ok
It is now at User:Btilm/AutoreviewSuggest. Its a basic template, you can tweak it however you like. To use it, just paste {{subst:User:Btilm/AutoreviewSuggest}} = don't forget to subst, and remember to add a sig, unless you add one to the template. Have fun!
