hi, sorry for being dim, but I can't figure out the syntax for using the Location map Argentina, perhaps you could put one on Monte Hermoso (in the infobox?) and then I'll copy what you did for other locations. Regards, King of the NorthEast 14:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They seem good. More correct borders - better maps. --Darwinek (talk) 18:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aah, this Pomerania, beautiful part of Poland, where sea swells and wind gently blows through the forests near the beaches and lakes. Lovely region. I love Polish films of course and maybe in the future I will start some articles about Polish actors, so desperately lacking here. - Darwinek (talk) 22:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know where I can download any free photoshop style software for cropping photos. I don't have anything suitable on my PC. King of the NorthEast 19:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Small is better than nothing, I'll ask a friend if he's got anything useful, but it'll take a few days to get it even if he has.... King of the NorthEast 19:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've found a bit about Tarrío, but there are big gaps, I've no idea when he made his debut for Ferro Carril Oeste (pre-1925) where he played between 1931-1935, and in 1939, his date of birth or place of birth. Also I can only find one club in his managerial career (there must be more). I'll email a few contacts for the birth info, I don't like starting articles with loads of missing info. King of the NorthEast 20:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sort of stymied on this one; there was no prod, no nada as far as I can tell, it was just deleted right after the template. I've restored it, assuming that there was a thought that the one linked to the other.

I can't explain why. I guess I thought there was a project in place. I'll set up the categories as soon as I finish with the cat list for Mexico. Thanks for catching the oversight! John Carter (talk) 16:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blofeld
Thanks for uploading various photographs by CharlesFred; but why don't you upload them directly at Wikimedia Commons so that other Wikipedias can use them too? Regards, Béka (talk) 17:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and place the banner in as many places as you want, but it might be a good idea to try to ask for a bot to either generate all the subcats of Category:Ghana, to see if they're all relevant, and/or place a request on the Wikipedia:Bot requests page for a bot to place the banner on all articles in a given category. It's a lot faster if someone else does it, believe me. And I just found the Category:Mesoamerica, almost all of which seems to be relevant to Mexico. Arrgh. John Carter (talk) 20:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Nope, the lists are generated after the banners are tagged. I've found the template for the Biography project can be adjusted to display the templage image of a work group, specifically for the British royalty group, as seen on
  Talk:Alburga page. I'm going to try to get the various multi-national banners to function in the same way, but it'll definitely take a bit of time. I also probably should finish the categorization for the Mexico project now, before I forget about it completely. But that's the kind of template I'm going to try to enact for all the multi-national projects. John Carter (talk) 20:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply
  ]

Regarding having the banners ready, there might not be a problem, although they might later get deleted. No lists of work group articles yet, though. And regarding automatic assessment, it can be done, and several projects do it already, basically copying an existing assessment or automatic stub assessment of articles using a stub template. It would probably take a specific request to do so for a specific project, though. John Carter (talk) 21:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If one wanted to start, maybe the best place to start would be Central America. Many of those articles are already assessed, just not given the work group tags yet. If you were to file a bot request to tag articles for various work groups by category, Betacommandbot does that fairly well. It just demands listing every category individually. But, with the smaller countries, there might not be that many. Just be careful of categories that overlap national borders; those you'll probably have to go through by hand, like I'm doing with Mesoamerica. Anything you could do would be extremely welcome, though. John Carter (talk) 21:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with separate national banners, although I like the idea in general, is taht they will almost certainly be shot down or be argued for merger later. This would be particularly a problem when boundaries are fluid, thus placing locations in more than one country, or for articles which cross national boundaries, thus requiring multiple banners. But it is a reasonable question, and I'm not sure myself of what would be best. I'm going to leave a message on the talk page of the

WikiProject Council and ask for some input there. I have a feeling that they might know a lot more about this sort of thing than I do. John Carter (talk) 22:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

]

They are added, as they're constructed right now they're just not displayed in all cases, and you have to hit the "see also" or whatever link at the lower right. I'm still trying to adapt either the Hinduism banner, which shows subprojects as separate templates above the main banner, or the Biography banner as above. That's going to take a while, though. John Carter (talk) 22:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've just been looking at the Dutch version nl:Bahía Blanca (stad) and noticed that the infobox is specific to Argentina. I'm going to have a go at figuring out how to add in the best bits of the placebox designed by Pablo Flores (post code & telephone links) with the Dutch version (map generation and inclusion of the IFAM link). I'll let you know how I'm getting on. King of the NorthEast 00:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just made a few modifications to the infobox on

Capital Federal so there's not really any need for further clarification. King of the NorthEast 01:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

]

This is the state of the infobox with Argentina specific parameters used on Tres Isletas. I'll use it on new articles and articles without placeboxes and then go through and replace the old placeboxes at a later date. I think its more important to create new articles for departmental capitals than worry about which type of infobox is being used. Regards, King of the NorthEast 16:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I can tag em, not sure about how important they are though, maybe mid for cities and 1st level municipalities and low for everything else. Definately stubs though. King of the NorthEast 16:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's on the bottom right of the template on that page. Kirill 16:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Up to the project, I suppose; it's easy enough to default either way. If you have many articles that fall under multiple groups, though, you're likely to see complaints about template bloat if you default the tags to being shown. Kirill 16:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have never met you before, so I certainly can't tell if you're the sort of person to "[...] upload a truckload of images if I didn't have permission to use them[.]".

Thank you...

...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.

In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.

By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.

Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.

This RfA thanks inspired by Kathryn McDinaha's, in turn inspired by several others after Phaedriels' original. Hoping we can all keep such inspiration of newcomers ongoing, I am, sincerely, John Carter (talk).

I swear I'll get to the banners soon now. John Carter (talk) 21:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, my name is Adambro and I'm an OTRS volunteer. I'm currently working to confirm that permission has been received for a series of images by Charles Fred that you have uploaded so that I can add details of the relevant ticket to the image page. Searching though OTRS, I've not been able to locate the relevant ticket so I'd ask your assistance in doing so. Could you confirm, via an email through Wikipedia to me, the email address you sent it to and the email address you sent it from which will make it easier for me to find your ticket in OTRS and so allow me to resolve this issue.

Hello Blofeld of SPECTRE, I've granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see

You're welcome. :) Yes, you do create a lot of new pages: I think I read somewhere that you have created more new articles than anyone else: impressive work. However, to my knowledge, I don't know of anything that will automatically mark articles you create as patrolled. It's possible that there may be a user script, but I don't know if anyone has written one like that. Acalamari 19:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion. Anyway, Shshshsh does a lot of reverts, and many good, but there are some I reviewed which didn't look like vandalism reversion to me and I believe there should have been an explanation to the reverts, see [12], [13], and [14]. In those reverts, I think he should have left a reason in the edit summary to why he reverted them. Rollback is supposed to be for reverting vandalism only, and if an edit may require an explanation, rollback shouldn't be used, as rollback doesn't leave any explanation other than "reverted edits by X to last version by Y". I think with Shshshsh, I'll leave a note on his talk page first before granting him rollback. Acalamari 21:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I did not abandon it. I am waiting for the other judges. Also, in the meanwhile, I needed two root canals, which put a slight damper on my ability to pay the reward. That said, I should have that resolved by early next week, and plan on pushing ahead with announcing the winners. I sincerely regret any delay. Danny (talk) 21:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the pain was unbearable. Only now is it mildly better, and I still have plenty of dental work ahead of me. I love th Kiorastami article, especially since I have seen many of his films: I even have a copy of Bread and Alley here. The only problem is the fair use imagery, which we do not accept. Would you mind me removing them temporarily, then restoring them? Danny (talk) 21:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		Hello, The greatest editor on Wikipedia (aka Blofeld of SPECTRE:))!!! I hereby award you this Tireless Contributor Barnstar (literally) to congratulate you for walloping the 100,000 mark on Wikipedia. I'm not giving you that because you have 100,000 edits on here, not at all! This award is given to you for being so terrific and brilliant editor. As I always say, thanks for being here, for everything you do (and you do A LOT). I wish you all the very best, please keep up that way. When I see you, I just can't stop wondering how an editor can be so brilliant. I really mean that! Best best best regards, your friend Shahid • Talk2me 14:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, was working on Javed Siddiqui... Happy for you friend.:) I cannot say that I'm a big fan of metal, because I'm more into melodious (including rock) ballads, Hindi Ghazals, new wave music (I LOVE Enigma), Country, Blues, etc. BTW, just saw some beautiful performances of Whitney Houston on youtube. WOW, what an amazing voice. Her "I Will Always Love You" version is fantastic. Has she really damaged her voice over the past few years? Is it true? Shahid • ^Talk2me 20:31, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh this one??? Ha ha ha I love this song. This is the kind of music I like. I meant that I didn't like immensely noisy songs such as that of Metalica, but I definitely like even hard rock when it comes to good music. For example, Aerosmith's "Crazy" is one of my favorite songs... I love Roxete, Guns N Roses (Ballads), Scopions. I'm a very western guy when it comes to music and films. Don't get the wrong impression of me :)

Just a little poll question LOL... Who is according to you the better singer? Whitney or Mariah? Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Three Divas! Celine is brilliant. Yes, she is at times too noisy ha ha ha... Just kidding. According to me, Whitney's voice is much more soul than Mariah's, although I like Mariah's screams and shrieks too!!! Both of them have range, different singing style, and their collaboration is great as it can be seen here. And this is according to me the best perdormance for "I will Always love you".

In any case, Shania Twain is the best !!!!!! :))))) Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh great! I like Bon Jovi's "Always" it bring back old memories. And November Rain!!!!!!!1 Of course! How could I forget it?

And Scorpions... Wind of Change, Holiday etc... are all time great!

And Adams' Everything I do!!! So romantic. It was a huge chartbuster wow...

I generally like very much singers with husky voices, eg. Tina Turner, Bonnie Tyler, and Brian himself... Oh and Michael Bolton... Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry friend I can't find it. I've seen Kala Bazar and this one doesn't seem to be that one. BTW, finally created an article for child actor

National Film Award for this role. What do you think? Does the article have a chance at DYK? Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

Well the third ref states that he is 11 years old. But who knows... Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have some DYK question idea for this article? I always get confused. I can't get if it has to be related directly to him or not. In the Bravery Awards, it wasn't. Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. A DYK question seems unlikely for this article. In fact, I have nothing else to add, because he is very young and still a newcomer. That's not that I've created an article for some veteran actor. Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 19:14, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Without a bias and very honestly, your version looks thousand times better! Really! Why don't you restore your table? It seems like you had worked hard on it. Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you do something? Restore it, argue with them. It's unfair! Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you have worked very hard, and I think your versions are much better, but if you don't really care, good for you!:) Forget it. Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great article, as always! Needs some expansion, but still great and pleasing to the eye. You know, most of the stubs that are created on Wikipedia look terrible, and your articles always look good:). Haven't you still created a braglist of your creations? You can update it gradually. Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 23:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I you create a braglist, I will help you update it:) Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You don't remember? Ha ha ha! That's the main problem with brilliant editors like, who have created over 12,000 articles LOL!!!! You have written so many articles, that you don't remember three-quarters of them! Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note, there is a library next to my house, but I really doubt that there are old articles and newspapers/magazines there. In fact, I don't visit the library at all. I have a lot of books at my home in Mumbai. I miss my home... but circumstances force me to stay here for some more time...

Currently creating categories and bot taagging lists for the projects which have already had the banner altered, basically meaning European Microstates and then Southeast Asia. After that, I'll probably work on the South America banner, trying to see if I can get it to display only the task force category banner, like the Biography banner does for the British Royalty work group. I'm basically choosing it because I think with the comparatively small number of work groups, it should be a bit easier than the others. If and when I get that to work, then that'll be more or less copied for the Caribbean, Western Asia, Central Asia, and Africa projects. With a lot of luck, the final banner adjustments should for Africa and the others should be late this week or early next. John Carter (talk) 15:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Blofeld, I thought that was a good point you made the other week on Jimbo's talk-page about the lack of localisation for Wikipedia articles on "faraway" places. As you probably saw, I especially agreed with the way editors on Commons appear to be more trigger-happy than they are here. It's a shame I think. Ekantik ^talk 01:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - it's just that the GAC requested less Fair Use images. I didn't knew who to contact or warn for this, so I removed the ones I felt contributed least. But now the article passed, and only 9 (8 if The World Is Not Enough passes) films left to improve. igordebraga ≠ 12:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your recent message, you'll have to excuse me for any delay in responding to you but you should understand that I do have other commitments beyond editing Wikipedia of which my job is a significant one.

The idea is not that you email any information to me, instead you should email it to [email protected] so it can be stored in OTRS and reviewed as necessary by other OTRS volunteers to confirm the permission.

You've previously said that you've "forwarded my email to the permission branch of wikipedia -its up to them to sort out the OTRS ticketing now" however your recent comments suggest this isn't actually the case so my attempt at finding the email in the system was pointless.

Please forward any emails relating to permission to the email address above where they will be dealt with by me or another OTRS volunteer. If you'd like me to continue dealing with this then let me know the email address from which you forward any messages to Wikimedia and then I can look them up easier. Regards.

I've been through and checked the film actor navboxes at Film actor templates and, acting on our discussing about Gene Hackman, nominated for deletion all the ones that are repetitions or serve no further purpose. If you wouldn't mind, could you look in and give your opinion on the deletions? There have been a couple dissenting opinions. Thanks! Wildhartlivie (talk) 11:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sir Blofeld: You have done a great job on the infoboxes! Sorry I will have to beg out from helping for a while though. I am visiing friends and they only have a dial-up service (if you remember what those were like!) and daughters attending university - so my time on-line is rather limited at the moment. I don't think I'll get a chance to do much until I return home (probably in the 1st or 2nd week of Feb). Sorry! I wish I could be of more help.

A while back, after getting extremely frustrated when other editors were able to frustrate my far superior conception of what Wikipedia should be, I decided that I had to accept that. Sometimes you're able to convince people, sometimes you don't do it right and sometimes their minds are not going to open up. And then sometimes I find I'm wrong but don't ever tell anybody I said that.

I think the old airport hotel is located in Kowloon City District. Nearby San Po Kong belongs to Wong Tai Sin District. I'm not sure where the boundaries lie, but I'm pretty sure it's quite a distance from Kwun Tong District. HkCaGu (talk) 06:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with PD-Italy is that it only applies to files created pre-1941 - thus they may not be PD in all countries, only in Italy. It's safer to use files which are public domain in US too, and use PD-Italy ones under fair use. That's why there isn't a PD-Italy template on Commons, because they may be unfree.

As for OTRS, I haven't had a chance to check in a while, but please send them in and I'll try to process them ASAP :) Hope you're well too. ~ Riana ⁂ 15:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The template is currently ready. The categories aren't yet though, and generally have to be created separately. That'll still take awhile. Also, if you are interested, I've made a proposal at

You have a point regarding displaying the groups. The question there is whether there is a way to draw the line automatically or not. For instance, if a given river flowed through ten countries, every country involved would reasonably think that their particular project should be specifically displayed below, which would just make the one banner take up as much space as three or four do today. If I can figure out a way to make an automatic cut-off at some point, though, your proposal would be the way to go, and I am going to try to see if there is any such way. John Carter (talk) 18:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Libya's done already. The category structure can be found in Category:Libya articles and its subcats. Just create those categories and pages substituting in the name of the country, and it should work fine. Just make sure to add the "Category:Wikipedia 1.0 assessments]] to the articles by quality and articles by importance categories or the assessments won't get done. And the three "Wikipedia:Version ..." pages listed under the Category:Libya articles by quality have to get created too. Egypt we might leave alone because they seem to have actively done some assessments, but South Africa hasn't yet and would probably welcome the help. I'm working on Chad right now. John Carter (talk) 19:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The countries that seem to already have assessment structures are Egypt, Ethiopia, Morocco, Nigeria, and Tunisia, so I'd leave those five alone for right now. Also, one could create categories for the French Africa, Madeira, Saint Helena, and Spanish Africa work groups, following the same naming patterns. John Carter (talk) 19:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The work groups are each designed so that eventually the assessments there will be able to function for both Africa and whatever country they're governed by, thus saving banner duplication. And the Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Spanish Africa work group is for the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. It was the only name I could think of to refer to them all. John Carter (talk) 19:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On conclusion, I figure to add the articles of the Spanish Africa group as subcats of that project's existing assessment scheme, thus allowing the one assessment to function for both. The Spain project has been advised of the work group as well, although I admit I forgot to advise them earlier. John Carter (talk) 20:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it's impossible to move categories. The categories which that group will use will all be Category:Benin articles, and those categories you mentioned will all have to be deleted. Samples of the categories to be used can be found in the category section of User talk:John Carter/Sandbox, and should follow that format. The Unassessed articles should be the only ones of the quality categories not specifically incorporating the word "-Class" in their name, like "Start-Class Benin articles". If you look at the categories and pages in the Category:Libya articles, just substitute the name of the country for the one in there in the name and the categories it's placed in, and it should all work out. But you are right, the categories you mentioned will have to be deleted. John Carter (talk) 20:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:ProveIt's just changed the name of the parent categories, so that's why the name you indicated is going to have to be used. I think it might actually work best, given the changes, if I stop the Chad tagging and actually do all the categories myself, as I myself am not sure what all has changed as a result.

I'm no journalist, no shitty failed writer. I've never even tried to ever write a book. I'm a science student. I don't know Banker and actually, quite admire his Ramayana series. I have nothing against him. I'm just another editor trying to add whatever little bit I can to WP, and this is what I get for it.

I haven't done the things I'm being blamed for. My only blame is trying to clean up an article which had been turned into a fan/personal page by Banker and his friends. Now my name (and indirectly my identity and character) is being dragged through the mud by Banker.

What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to clear thing thing up?

Maybe RickK was right, There is a fatal flaw in the system. Vandals, trolls and malactors are given respect, whereas those who are here to actually create an encyclopedia, and to do meaningful work, are slapped in the face and not given the support needed to do the work they need to do.

There is no reason to continue here.

-xC- 19:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link suggested by Banker and his friends is [15]

Now lets see whats wrong with this -

• Its all written in a single block. It needs to be in sections to be in line with
  manual of style for WP articles
  .
• Phrases like "was earlier known as" and "well-known for his" - known by whom? where are the refs for these self-publicising claims?
• the bibliography has around a dozen titles TBA (to be announced). Theres no place for these in the article, no crystal gazing on WP.
• Half the external links cannot be accessed, or redirect to a blank page
• Phrases such as "He's also said to be working on an " - who said he is working on them? where is the ref for this?
• All the refs in the initial portion of the article are from 'Epic India .com', which is a site run by him. More importantly, none of them have any content on them. They just have the words 'epicindia.com' written. For example, 12
• Therefore I don't find any
  reliable sources
  stating anything which has been mentioned as sourced.

I'm just tired of it. I'm tired of continously fixing it and then being accused of destroying the article.-xC- 19:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. Am I wrong in doing this... is it possible you could make the required changes? Or at least explain why that older revision isn't suitable on the article talk page. I refuse to edit the article any further.-xC- 20:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's just me, especially in Melb. All the People I know are on the beach now, considering it's the hottest city in the country (I guess so from what I have seen here). That's what drives me crazy. In the summer, it's the hottest, in the winter the, it's the coldest. But overall I like this oceanic climate, although I'm not accustomed to very cold days.

So have you seen this part from Salaam Namaste? Zinta is so hot here, and so is Tania. I've been there... How could I miss Zinta? Have you seen it? Shahid • ^Talk2me 14:06, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't create a braglist, I'll do it for you!!

One moment, I'll try that. Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No you're not one of these arrogant editors who think that they are the best with just adding a new title etc. It doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to work hard to expand it... in fact, you already have too many articles to your name.

It is just a format. It is very useful. As you said, you do not use a watchlist. With having braglist, you can also go through your articles, and see wherever copyedit, correction and clan-up is needed.

Nice format. It looked better that the other ones, and it doesn't take ages to become accustomed to it. But there is only one problem with this format --- my popups don't work!!!! Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Blofeld for the kind words.

His edits on the page has helped the article become better. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 20:13, 26 January 2008

Vertically, it takes up a fair amount of space, but like you said that's more or less unavoidable given the shape of the country in question.

Chile

Responses: I didn't know Sao Tome and Principe has been remade a work group. My intention was that every independent nation would have its group given the full WikiProject name, while dependencies would be named work groups, so that they could indicate which projects they were subprojects of, generally the continental project and the Project of the nation of which they are a territory. Regarding categories, at this point I don't know how to change the categories of the banner to individually conform to those of existing project's assessments, so that the names for the projects' categories as per the banner more or less have to be consistent across the board. Also, as the newer category has more quality subcategories, this way it may be possible ultimately to deprecate the older, national banner entirely. In short, I don't know at this point how to adjust the categories of the South American banner to fit all the different kinds of category names of the existing projects. It is my hope that in time when Betacommandbot tags all the articles which haven't yet been tagged, the members of that project may decide, in the interests of clearer assessments and reduced banner clutter, to adopt the continental banner, which will have been placed on all the articles relative to their project that they haven't yet tagged. If they don't, possibly by that time I'll be able to adjust the categories so that both banners will feed into one set of categories. Alternately, at that point, I might adjust the categories of the national project banner to conform to those of the continental banner. But, basically, at this point, I don't know how to adjust the banners to take into account the variant categorization names of the existing projects. John Carter (talk) 21:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead with the tagging. Regarding the new categories, unfortunately, that person also changed the categories of the four Africa work groups to "WikiProject" categories. I remember now that it was an individual from the extant Chad WikiProject, which didn't previously have assessments, disliking the name and changing the names of the categories in the banner on his own. I'm hoping to find a way to introduce different categories for the Projects and work groups, because in all honesty "WikiProject Saint Pierre and Miquelon" sounds kind of silly to me, particularly since the group is named Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Saint Pierre and Miquelon work group. If and when I can figure how to adjust the banner to permit different phrasings of names, I intend to do so. John Carter (talk) 22:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probable optimum phrasing would be {{WikiProject Central Asia|class=|importance=|Kyrgyzstan=yes|Kyrgyzsan-importance=}}. That allows for the daughter projects to have their own separate importance assessments as well. John Carter (talk) 22:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly doubt it'll get any real dedicated members, but at least this way the France project will know that they have a lot of articles about a small place in generally bad condition. Also, if there's one editor there, and, yes, that's a big if, they'll more easily be able to determine which articles are relevant to their area. And Tahiti should fall in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Polynesia/French Polynesia work group. John Carter (talk) 22:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah. The Saint Pierre and Miquelon group is the only one that doesn't have a specific continental project, and it is I think the only regularly-inhabited foreign territory in North America. It felt a little weird making it the only one "left out" of having a dedicated group though. John Carter (talk) 22:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So many pages...

I think what you are doing with the French village/commune articles is great, its much easier for users to expand existing articles than it is to start one from scratch. But in the future, if you're going to create thousands of pages at a rate of multiple per minute, would you mind

patrolled. Mr.Z-man 22:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

Hm, the main issue I can see, if you aren't actually using a bot, people might not be willing to grant a bot flag. You could ask someone on the

bot approvals group though. Mr.Z-man 23:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

The creation of so many pages is outstanding, but for the speed of editing, I would suggest creating a bot account, perhaps User:BlofeldBot or something like that. I would be happy to Speedy Approve it for you if you want, and get it flagged for you. ~ Dreamy ^§ 23:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(ec)I'm not in BAG, but I responded there. My main suggestion if you want to keep all your edits on 1 account would be some sort of script that auto-patrols your mass-adds. I'd suggest

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts as a place to file a request or contact User:AzaToth who is something of a master scripter. MBisanz ^talk 00:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

But yes I also have some weird allergies... to ... citrus fruits! Oranges in particular... I get that unpleasant feeling in my skin!! Ohh and I don't like pineapples!!

See this LOL [17]... They're rich!

Oh my heavens! You have had almost 1,000 edits today!!! Shahid • ^Talk2me 17:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha ha!!! No I haven't seen the film, and uite frankly, seeing the clown, I'm happy that I haven't! LOL! Hey that's great work what you're doing! Shahid • ^Talk2me 20:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No I haven't... Please give me an image, so that I can drool like you do LOL... How are you???? Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

O---M---G!!!!!!!!! Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WOW she's so HOT! I think there is something irresistible about eastern woman in western and modern outfits... Amazing! Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She's very hot.. Is she talented as well? Shahid • ^Talk2me 14:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another FA.... Your take on it??? Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what hurts me the most... So much of hard work from you, Dwaipayanc, John and myself, and no GA reviewer appears in the area to review it and give it at least the well deserved GA status... I'm so sad when I see that. One GA reviewer reviewed it and said that it's definitely a GA, but he didn't list it because, as per him, it's not fair that an article will be listed whereas other articles are waiting for reviews and are nominated for a GA for longer period, as if it mattered at all... Well I don't care... Oh that's all because of our dear POV pushers... If they hadn't come across this article to ruin others' work, it would definitely have remained GA... Shahid • ^Talk2me 17:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All true:)--Shahid • ^Talk2me 17:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She's just stunning!!!! So sexy OMGG... thanx for sharing LOL!!! Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:03, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely do..:) I think it's great that you like women of a more exotic nature, our tastes are very similar:) Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think we share the same taste in exotic looking women. Don't you think? Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you visited Australia? Shahid • ^Talk2me 20:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi friend! What did you mean? I just have the problem that popups windows don't show up... Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No they still don't work... Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the default version. You know, as a person, I'm someone who finds drastic changes very difficult to deal with... LOL Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again... Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK... Just thought to let you know! I'm also extremely busy in real life... I don't think a reply is needed there at all.:) Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great name! I don't really understand, what is the purpose of having a bot? What does it do? Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:50, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know... I think he came to ruin and disappear again...

See the article of Reese Witherspoon. It's surely going to be promoted today or tomorrow. Great article, and you won't believe this: there is no even one negative review.

BTW, she has worked with Mira Nair too. Yes, this Indian who makes us so proud there in the USA! Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sandy, the lady of the strong oppose in Zinta's last FAC, says it's ready to become an FAC (I asked her). Now we have to wait for a GA reviewer to make a final review, and then, within two-three weeks or so, we can renominate it for FA... Great, no? Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeh I know. Really great! I read it already:) What about Reese's article? Did you like it? Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GREAT! Congrats! Good luck! Shahid • ^Talk2me 14:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I think I misunderstand something here... What is a bot? I thought it works independently... Otherwise, what's the sense using a bot as just another account? Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:11, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe this "$1,000,000?" is so funny! I like your sense of humour LOL...--Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL!!!

I would like to know your opinion on the following:

"The film was both a major financial and critical success. It became the biggest hit of the year as well as Zinta's highest grossing movie to date, with a domestic gross of Rs 489 million;[25] and, among other awards, won the Filmfare Best Film Award."

What do you think? Does it sound well?

Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not KANK, it's Koi Mil Gaya... No, Sandy just commented in general. She just said it's ready to become a FAC... Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OMG LOL!!!

Well, after my experience with the Zinta article, I don't really think I want to work on some article for this particular purpose. I'm yet to complete my work on the

Tabbu, Karisma Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit etc. You know, GA is just not as easy as it seems to be, so I think I'd rather try to expand and improve rather than trying to concentrate on one goal: a GA!! Believe me, when I'm not thinking of it, the results are way better. Shahid • ^Talk2me 19:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply

The very beautiful and talented Miss Zinta is 33 today!!!!!!!! Shahid • ^Talk2me 08:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HEYY!!! How have you been? I had a long tiring day!!! Udita to be quite honest, I don't find her too sexy... She is a bit wicked and misses gentleness... I'll start the article later. What are you doing now? Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey it's GREAT work what you're doing. I'm happy that we now can also have wikilinks to years in the filmo, so that we are not deprived compared to Bollywood. I personally think it's just a shame that these X in year pages don't include Bollywood films but only American films. That's unfair... Nevertheless... Do you really think that KANK is up for a GA? I doubt it! On the other hand, the Oscar-nominated Lagaan is a GA and was a FAC for two days!!!! Another shameless act... After only one week and two editors opposing, the article was not promoted. What do you say about that? Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? Which lists are you talking about? Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think articles assessment is a great recognition of good. Maybe the Preity FA nomination was not a big deal, and as many say, was just "not there yet". What do you think? Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, I think you have done a marvelous job on KANK, it looks so much better, that I have the feeling that it was a stub before your amazing work!!!:))))) Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All the Bollyblog images are gonna be deleted now... See Sarvagnya's last act! Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Attn:Admins_-_cpvios_galore - that's it!!! almost all the images have already been removed. Shahid • ^Talk2me 22:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think restoring the images is possible Blof? Shahid • ^Talk2me 22:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He will now undelete all the images!!!! Yes!!! Shahid • ^Talk2me 22:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL What? Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't get how come there are problems when everything was quite clear in the very beginning... What's the problem... Thanks anyway, but I'm very very sad that our articles are coming back in these terms... So disheartening... :( Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your bot

I have created your bot for you, see here. I will e-mail you the password for it, but be sure to change it to something you will remember. ~ Dreamy ^§ 13:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go here and fill out the BRFA form and I will get you approved. I have e-mailed it. ~ Dreamy ^§ 14:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent bot approvals request has been approved. Please see the request page for details. When the bot flag is set it will show up in this log. ~ Dreamy ^§ 14:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am getting it flagged currently, it may take some time. ~ Dreamy ^§ 14:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To flag a bot as a bot, you must be a Bureaucrat, which means you must be an administrator first, then a Bureaucrat, which are powers I don't have, I can only approve the bots, or deny them, and then a B'crat will flag it. ~ Dreamy ^§ 16:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and an admin is good, but you must be a B'crat to flag it, see this page to see who can do it. I have requested that Deskana do it. ~ Dreamy ^§ 16:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go here as they need more input for the bot creation, because it is a semi-bot that needs to be flagged as a bot. ~ Dreamy ^§ 20:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
